Customer Reviews

I been living here in Pacoima all my life and i never once seen or been here at this donut shop until last month. This place is amazing this place is hidden gem in Pacoima the people here are great the service is fast. The donuts here are so soft and fluffy to the bite and I have purchased donuts from here to take to work and my co workers loved them. Whoever makes the donuts here know what they are doing they make the donuts look yummy at first sight.

Their donuts are always fresh and I love the smoothies! Very kind workers too. It gets pretty crowded in the mornings though.
