Customer Reviews

First off, the owner is LOVELY. This place has: Donuts, Breakfast Sandwiches and FRESH FRUIT AND FRESH SQUEEZED JUICE. An absolute gem and a treasure, I hope this place lasts forever!

I came down with my dad, the lady gave us some bad attitude for no reason then ignored us! She got on the phone and then she took our order WITH AN ATTITUDE! It honestly didn?t feel like a good place? never coming back

Took myself for my own birthday breakfast because I wanted a treat on a budget. I got a bacon ham egg & cheese on a lovely croissant, cake donut frosted with sprinkles, and a fresh cold iced coffee for $11. Enjoyed every bite and will be back soon for sure!

Clean inside, fresh food, friendly staff.

What a nice little hidden gem. Most delicious Boston Cream I've ever had. Unpretentious shop with good customer service and delicious selection of classic flavors. Definitely recommend!

Oof I went bc of the reviews and disappointed. The milk tea boba horrible. Just by looking at it too I could tell. And 6 donut holes for a dollar I mean.... I'll just keep going to the one I usually go to. I get my money worth there instead. The donuts here are okay tasting.

We had croissant sandwiches which were awesome. But the blueberry banana smoothies blew the roof off! Quick and very polite, will having me comng back in no time ??

Fresh ! Great quality and prices Not gonna lie some of the best donuts I?ve ever had.

Their donuts are not always fresh. They sit in the case all day! Do not buy Lemon jelly filled it does not have powder sugar on both sides & hardly any lemon filling. Most of the women cashier are extremely rude.

Mean lady. Asked for decaf, she gives me a cup of instant mess with grounds all over. No way this place is over 3. Just go down one block to much nicer and better California Donuts.

My personal experience buying coffees are very nice especially the customer service of a gentleman he always smiles like he told me once life is too short

Great drink and baked good selection. I tried a breakfast sandwich that was sub-par, bit for the price of everything in total, I was satisfied.
