Customer Reviews

Walked here for some donuts and they were very tasty! I love a good jelly donut and it went so well with my cappuccino ?smoothie.? I ate it all before I could even get a picture. The staff are also very nice!

Best in town. We get the cake donuts or the Croissant Ham and Cheese. Great family run business

This is my favorite donut shop!! I love the owner!! She's so sweet!! I used to pick up donuts for my boys when they were little...and shape them into numbers according to their birthday! They are always fresh! This is a family-owned business and the owner and the son are super nice and super amazing! I will always purchase Donuts from this shop whether I'm near or far. Whether it's for a birthday or just a craving! Their donuts are awesome! The glazed donut, the chocolate donut, even the donut holes and ev

Fantastic hole in the wall donut shop. Flavorful, light, donuts with great flavor and not too much oil. Would definitely recommend over other local donut shops in the area

Went there twice so far, had a dozen each time. The store is tiny but clean and well maintained. Donuts are very fresh and tasty. Coconut flake donut is very yummy! Wonder why it doesn?t really pop out when I search on map? Wish I discovered here earlier, it?s my new favorite neighborhood store!

The jalape?o ham and cheese croissants are literally the best food. My family gets them at least once a week. Their donuts are amazing too! My favorites are chocolate cake and jelly filled. And prices are incredible for the quality of baked goods you get. Just a little strip mall local donut shop, but you really can't ask for better breakfast.

My parents own a donut shop so wherever we go, we stop in at places to find donuts that taste as good or potentially better. The donuts here definitely tasted like my parents and the service and prices were great! Great dessert after having Pho a few doors down! Thumbs up from kids and husband!

Amazing donuts, we always love to come here!! Support small business!!

Another Mom&Pop Socal donut gem. They have your go to standard donuts, all of which are delicious. But their ham & cheese croissants are one of the best in the area.

Great donuts, apple fritters, cinnamon fritters $1.25! Steal

Finally a place with Freshly made Donuts ????????

Delicious donuts and excellent service!!!

This place does accept cards although they do have a minimum charge of $3.00 in which is fine because hardly any donut shops accept cards.
