Customer Reviews

MY Best friend went to get himself a turkey sandwich. And two ham sandwich for my daughter and I. He told me all 3 worker's treated him really kind especially the older guy. He said the older gentleman told him to sit down while he prepared his meal and gave him coffee. He said the staff was very kind. Their sandwiches are very good. The best we ever had. So on behalf of my Best friend and myself. Thank you.

Best donuts ever. Every time I come to the South Bay, we stop to get some. Absolutely perfect

Best Donuts in town, with the friendliest people to serve you. They added breakfast sandwiches to the menu.

Loved the donut and hot chocolate. The owners were so friendly and gave us some free donut holes since we were new customers. Definitely going back tomorrow.

I?m visiting L.A. for a bit of time. This place is wonderful and they are super friendly. I?ve gone twice already and plan to make an early morning run tomorrow?. Yes, you should try their fresh donuts!

Always a sweet treat with a smile. The staff is great, and the food/drinks are worth the wait if they are busy.. their donuts, drinks, and sandwiches are delicious.

Friendly staff and great crumbles donuts, my fav donuts place ????

Got a ham & cheese croissant. Had plenty of both with very flaky mastery. Also, got a mocha cappuccino. Also very good. First time here. Will be back.

Nothing but a fantastic experience here. Great food, very welcoming and friendly staff. They also take card which is nice since it seems that many donut shops don't. Lots of options here. I'll definitely be back to try more stuff. Donuts: They were very fresh at 8am. Everything I picked up was tasty. The apple fritter was awesome. Breakfast Crossiant: Made to order on the spot using a fresh crossiant. Hot and delicious.

M's doughnuts are freshest, best tasting, full, fluffiest doughnuts I've had since I was a kid. Their cake doughnuts are so thick there is hardly a hole in the middle. I don't care for glaze doughnuts but theirs are delicious. If you love a good fresh doughnut, you have to try M's.

Typical local SoCal mom & pop donut shop. Owners are nice, and the hot breakfast sandwiches are very good.

Finally found my donut place after moving in to the area. Soon after discovering them the 2020 situation happened and they closed for a while. I was so worried but they finally opened back up again and I was so happy to go in. When I left I realized she had given me something extra. Presumably appreciation for supporting them in this time. Reminds me exactly of my place from my hometown. They have a new customer for life.

Great donuts! Very Light and fluffy, and not greasy. Very reasonably priced. One of the best on the Peninsula! Way better than Granny's Donuts or Donut Den.

????Wow, after living in Big Bear Lake since 95 and going to OJ?s donuts for years, we finally pulled the plug because of health reasons n sold our home. We then lost our delicious, delicate, non greasy tasting donut shop. Now for a year n half we kept driving past M?thinking no one will ever replace OJ?s. SO, back n forth from RHCC every Sunday, my husband said ? let?s bring some donuts home?. I looked over n said. ? What, never see cars there and it must be awful!!! BUT, Oh have we missed out. Th

The owner is very personable. The donuts a very good and the egg,cheese and sausage crusant are to die for.

The Owners Are Alway Friendly, The Donuts are Always Freshly Made, I will go out of my Way to come here for a Great Donut and Coffee and Conversation.
