Customer Reviews

The ultimate corner store for snacks. Donuts, smoothies, sandwiches, and snacks GALORE. I was visiting from Texas and I wish we had places like this. Got a dozen donut holes for $3 as a break mid run and it hit the spot. The lady running the shop was hella chill, we chatted about the housing market and different items on her menu. Def gonna stop by for anything next time I roll thru Las Tunas.

Happy Donuts has the freshest, tastiest donuts and is worth the 15-minute drive to get there. The service is great! We always get the cinnamon rolls and the custard-filled with chocolate icing.

Love the donuts and breakfast croissants. I go there almost every week because the food and drinks are consistently good and the staff is always friendly :)

This mom and pop donut shop is a delightful escape into a world of delicious, handcrafted pastries, and the warm, personalized service is the icing on the cake.

Got the cutest holiday themed donut for a holiday party. Their donuts are delicious and light! Service is really prompt and polite.

I enjoy every time, their selection is abundant and difficult to choose, everything is delicious it is a great way to start your day the girls always have a great attitude and beautiful smile. Thank you

Great local donut shop. It?s not gourmet donuts, and nothing spectacular, but they do the basics right. The people are super friendly and in the mornings there is plenty of parking available.

Everything There Is Fresh. Best Donut Shop, I always love their ham, bacon, egg, and cheese croissant.

Solid, no frills donut place. It?s not fancy, no exotic flavors here but it?s clean, there?s seating, and their donuts are fresh and tasty. Just wish they were open every day so I can come any day of the week but they deserve a day off.

Always friendly and great selection of donuts.

I've been to this shop three times, the donuts are always fresh. However, it is now $1.75 for a glazed twist that is no bigger than it used to be when glaze twists were 75 cents. I know everything is expensive but it's awful that a donut is now a $1.75.

No longer the same owner- quality has gone down. If Vanessa is gone- I won't be back. She kept the place in top notch condition! New owners have this place dirty and HOT...TURN ON THE FANS!!!! This was my favorite coffee spot for many many years, but I will not be back.

Best donuts! They are fresh and delicious. Even the coffee is really good too. The sandwich with ham is served warm, toasted bread and fresh. I think the prices are fair. The owners are kind. If I am going to spend money I rather support a family in the community then a big franchise.

This is our go to for donuts! Always fresh!

The donuts here are the bomb. Light and fluffy. They taste like clean donuts not Dirty oil they were fried in. I can?t stand donuts that I have that greasy oil taste. These don?t ever disappoint. Soooo delicious so happy I don?t have to drive far to partake. The owner is so nice as well and I hear she has really good croissants and sandwiches I know I haven?t tried the sandwiches but there?s always happy customers here.

Great service and soft donuts.

Best donuts in town and smoothies ??

I had a custard filled donut and let me tell you, it was delicious! Just what I'd expect from the cream. I would highly recommend anyone to come try this place out.

I have been coming here since I was a kid and Happy Donut has been a part of many happy memories. The pastries here and very fresh and can even be seen being made throughout the day. The owners are very friendly and truly care about the customers they see every day.

I enjoy the donuts. They have the standard selection plus delicious croissant-whiches and other goodies and drinks. How ever I've been short changed more than once. I believe it is their habit so i have to mention it. Enjoy the donuts and coffee and count your change before you leave.

Donuts are good, coffee is weak, weak weak. If they can fix this I will edit this review to five stars because the donuts are tasty. But donuts and coffee go together so if I can't get a good cup of coffee I'll just go to a different donut shop.

Happy Donuts is one of the best donut shops I have ever been to. Vanessa, the co-owner, is so sweet!! Happy donuts does more than donuts. There is croissant-whiches, smoothies w/ or without boba, and cinnamon rolls!! They are spectacular with new comers. If you get the cinnamon rolls get them heat up in the microwave. ????????

Their Donuts are good, tasty, fresh, and soft. When you take your first bite, you taste the donut consistency is right up their with Uncle Joe's, and Rose Donuts and Sandwiches. Those are my 2 go to places to enjoy a great donut. And let's not forget Alhambra Donuts. They are also right up there with the big dawgs. Lol! By the way, for those of you who do not know the gentleman in the picture? His name is Guermo. He is Jimmy Kimmel's Show's security guard. See folks he does interviews and they send him to c

Favorite donuts in Alhambra. The preserves in the jelly filled is great! Super friendly couple own it and often throw in free donut holes

Excellent local spot, quality donuts. Looking forward to going back.

They are fresh and I usually buy a lot at once and eat them thru couple of days and still then it is good and fluffy inside! My new favorite place.

So many unique flavors from which to choose! Helpful staff were attentive.

Best fresh donuts! Sweet family owned business! My kids love coming here. Always a smile, great service, and delicious!

The Halloween themed donuts were fun. Definitely somewhere I'd like to go when I'm around the area.

The man provided good service, unfortunately, the woman ruined it by giving lousy service. Will not be returning for about two months or more. The donuts were good. Did not leave happy!

Your basic doughnuts, fresh daily. The buttermilk doughnuts are the best I've tried and also fresh daily. This place is my favorite!

Great donuts and sandwiches. They always have a good variety. They now accept card, but prefer cash.

Local mom and pop shop. Good basics. Breakfast sandwiches are made fresh, not reheated like some places.
