Customer Reviews

I remember buying a donut on my walk to Rosemont elementary school in the early 2000's. I left the city but everytime I visit my mother I stop here!! for an iced coffee and a breakfast sandwich! If ur ever in the area I definitely recommend this is a real "mom& pop shop" where u will most likely be helped by the owners ???????????? & the quality of the food will make your tummy happy!! Cash Only!! almost forgot!

This is my favorite local LA doughnut spot. If you're looking for something not too sweet, good, and not a dry doughnut, this is the spot! I think their doughnuts are really fresh. I go in different times and they're always good quality. I think I tried every single one of their menu. ??Also, their prices are really good for their high-quality doughnuts. ??

Amazing donuts and the croissant sandwich is excellent too.

We had these Donuts at work a couple of days ago and they were so Delicious. I had the ham and cheese crousant and it was really good. It was not salty at all just like in other places that I've had before. My coworkers enjoyed the Donuts as well. They were commenting on how good they were.

I give three stars for the really nice lady and the younger boy and girl who I've seen work there from time to time, they've always been really kind. Their donuts are good. I only give three stars for the older man who works there, a rude guy with a condescending tone. Not the interaction I want at 5am. I put service above everything else. I also notice that people who come in are very rude towards him, I guess the energy is just being reciprocated. Maybe it was just a rough morning, still though. Won't be

Best apple fritters in Filipino Town! Apple flavor and bits of the fruit uniformly dispersed throughout. ... and the A/C is on point!

I've been going there for about 5yrs. And they have good donuts. However their customer service has deteriorate post covid. I ordered a coffee with French Vanilla creamer and the creamers where bad like cottage cheese, and I note they are not free I paid for them, so I notified the adult man and he got bothered like if I was pointing out something that was given out free to me or that I made up the cottage cheese looking creamer. He was extremely RUDE! But I decided to let it go and went back on a different

I LOVE GOOD TIME DONUTS... This family own business has the best donuts, iced coffee, ham & cheese croissants and overall goodness. Sam & his wife are so friendly and if your a frequent customer they greet you :) makes you feel like those TV show's where they know you by name :)... The donuts are the best you will ever have..perfectly fluffy and can't even taste oil or nothing like those other donuts places (not going to say any names)... <3 <3 <3

Love their donuts.They're always light, fluffy, and made fresh every day. The owners are very kind and friendly. They take the time to get to know you and remember your order for your next visits. I've come here for years. The owners and I are so close, they treat me like family.

No complaints here! A solid staple in the neighborhood. The place is cash only. The donuts are incredible and if you need a late night sweet fix. You can safely go here.

a man who works here is very aggressive and has no patience. two years ago he raised his hand to slap a paying customer. luckily the woman moved back and he didn?t get the chance to lay his hands on her. he was very inpatient and rushing her out and that?s what began the argument. everyone should know the risk of entering this donut shop.

Incredible baked goods!! Do not miss this one. Everyone who works there was very kind and their donuts are beyond amazing. The almond croissant. Just. Wow.

Donuts and coffee doesn?t taste good. And cost more than $5. Cash only.

Fresh donuts And coffee

(Translated by Google) The truth is a complete disappointment. The donuts are very fancy and decorated, but the flavor leaves much to be desired. Nothing special and expensive. This one is expensive, but it's not worth it. (Original) La verdad una desilucion completa las donas muy fancis y decoradas pero el sabor pues deja mucho que decear nada del otro mundo y caro este si es caro pero no vale la pena

(Translated by Google) Very good place (Original) Muy buen lugar

(Translated by Google) Very good (Original) Muy bien

(Translated by Google) Dirty (Original) Sucio

(Translated by Google) Nice I like it (Original) Bonito me gusta
