Customer Reviews

This place is very outdated when it comes to payment methods. They only take cash, even though they advertise taking visa MasterCards and credit cards online and at the front of their door. Also, it seems pretty dumb to send your customers to other businesses because they take credit cards but not yours because that?s exactly what a employee told me. He told me to go to another restaurant (jack in the box) that where they take cards.

Unfortunately, I drove here because I thought they had chocolate glazed with peanuts, but they were on the cake style donuts ??. But I got the regular chocolate glazed, they were good. So I appreciate that the donuts are not overtly sweet, they are just regular donuts. Price is nice also. The sandwiches are little expensive, but they make them fresh and my husband liked it. They had some fresh juice options, so you could get a green juice with your donut/pastry.

The bagel, egg, ham and cheese sandwich is one of the best i have had, i would definitely recommend this place, the only negative is that its cash only.

Great customer service, super nice, very attentive best place to go for a quick coffee run.

I only go there for the donuts holes.

Fairly good place to grab donuts. A dozen runs you about 8.50 more if you get the fancy donuts. They have a blueberry donut made with pancake batter that tastes great. Donuts are not greasy or overly sweet. I stop in once a week to feed the office

They are very busy in the mornings. They must get everyone energized for the start of the day.

Fast service, they have fresh pastries. Unlike other places that have dry somewhat hard bread. This place is my go to before work. Strawberry cream cheese is the best I've had and I've tried many other places.

Very sweet and young Asian couple run this place. The donuts are fluffy and it's busy so they're fresh. I was on my way downtown from the Southbay and just pulled over the the 110, I was pleasantly surprised!

Best chocolate donut holes ever. All donuts are always fresh and so soft and delicious. My daughter and I love getting lost in this direction for a dozen of those holes. I wish I had a picture to show you, but there are gone. Old fashioned, soft and delicious with just the right amount of glaze. Not too sweet, just right. Too bad I'm lactose otherwise they'd go great with a glass of milk!

Love it here and the scrathers are pretty lucky here .. my opinion... also the ice cream is thrifty brand my fav... and they make lil bagels and crusoint sandwiches... I like their Tai tea also they r open 24hrs window service after 8pm and good workers too

Lovely lady, always greets my entire family as soon as we go in the store. Nice and clean donut shop, you can also get ice cream, coffe, lotto and beverages.

The only thing that Sucks is the old man that works there night shift there, he's rude and disrespectful... Otherwise it's great.

Super friendly, good doughnuts, and excellent breakfast sandwhiches. I got the #6 breakfast sandwhich which is a perfectly flaky, huge croissant with egg, bacon, and cheese. A great value! Thank you ladies.

Best donuts in town.

I grew up eating here and I'm grown & live many miles away. But when I come home it's nice to know I can always have my faves with my own family now.

I usually go here for the shakes they're very good but they have a variety of things they sell like ice cream donuts lotto tickets very good place i recommend it.
