Customer Reviews

I came here as a kid when my Grandpa used to come here regularly 2 decades ago. Him and his friends would come here at least once a week. I am now myself a going to be a regular here the hot croissants are amazing and donuts are great

Donuts were tasty. We were there near the end of the day, so the owner threw in an extra donut for free for us to try a new flavor. We had a nice conversation while we ate. We were happy :-)

So yummy and sweetest woman was working this morning. Definitely will be coming back!

Donuts are always fresh, best deals and prices, very generous with getting getting extras! Great and awesome customer service. Would come back again

Very good Donuts. ?????? Always fresh. Good ? coffee. The Lady is very nice. I like her. Definitely recommend this Donut shop.. the best one I've been too. In a long time. Thankyou. Ms. Lina. ??????

Best classic donuts I've had in awhile. Texture and sweetness level is spot on! From cake to raised to old fashioned, MJ does them all perfectly. It was so good we came back the next day to buy more. Auntie who helped us is so so kind and sweet to us. It's a Yorbalinda community staple for a reason!

Love coming here early on weekends. MJs is a local favorite

There must be a donut shop on every corner, but this one is tucked away in a shopping center on the corner of Imperial Hgwy and Rose Dr. (northeast corner). If you love jelly or custard filled, you'll be amazed at how full they're filled. And she injects the jelly when you pick out the donut you want. Everything else is just as good. They've never given me heartburn because they're cooked in fresh oil. I ordered 2 donuts: my bag consisted of 3 donuts plus 8 donut holes. You sure get your money's worth (it's

Love MJ?s Doughnuts been taking my kids since they were in kindergarten a long time ago. Great place for fresh and warm delicious donuts. They also have great coffee, croissants and croissants stuffed with ham and cheese perfect for on the go. Love surprising my family on Sunday morning with a box of goodies. ??????

Go see Miss Leena! Classic donuts and croissants that are always super fresh, not overly sweet, and not oily or greasy. Always satisfied after stopping by. Support local!

This is the best place I've been to for donuts. They always have a huge selection and supply of donuts. The people on staff are always friendly, and they frequently throw in some freebies. Great all around place. If I had to pick a negative though, it would have to be the interior. It is a bit outdated and grungy looking.

Great donut place. Always super friendly, always give you free donut holes.

I've only been there a few times but the lady that works there in the morning is always really nice! The donuts are great, the hot chocolate is the best money can buy and the ham and cheese croissant is AMAZING!!! I recommend this place to everyone at work!

Great donut shop I like the old fashioned glazed and buttermilk glazed. Love the owner, she is so friendly with a sassy good natured personality.

Super friendly staff love coming to this spot as a kid. Still stop by when I can. Good doughnuts and good people. Thank you for the years of amazing doughnuts

Great little local donut shop. Their croissants are the best. The owners are friendly

Best donut shop ive been to hands down! The donuts are warm and taste great and the customer service makes it that much better

Found hair in my donut. The place is dirty, the people are dirty, I hope this place gets shut down. Change owners please

Love this place, the owners are great people. If you get lucky she will have spring rolls there, the best. So worth a visit.

Food inspectors need to shut this place down

Seriously, go in. The doughnuts are some of the best I've ever had. The apple fritter should be illegal and the owner is super nice.

Convenient location, near my house. Donuts are average. They almost always have the buttermilk chocolate glazed I like.

OJ was sour and so was the owners attitude. Doughnuts are on par with Ralph's Grocery Store but cost more. Not returning.

Doughnuts were bland. Cashier didn't ask if I needed napkins but insisted I should buy a drink.

Donuts not great, just ok. Pleasant owner is friendly and likely reason it stays open.

Great donuts and amazing people that work there. Best apple fritter in town!

Old crabby granny working the counter. Doughnuts are tasteless. Junk doughnuts! Bad coffee.

Had a fun nightcap with dear friends. Doughnuts were fresh & good!!!

Said you guys were open on Google on a Sunday I drive all the way over and you guys are closed. Really wanted a donut, thanks

Freshest donuts around. Reasonably priced!

Always a pleasure visiting here! Great customer service with a smile! ??

Excellent donuts and friendly owners

Friendly owners, great bagels.

Great place for coffee and donuts
