Customer Reviews

Great service from El se?or Roberto. Loved the donuts texture and flavor. Fresh made everyday. Will recomend and will definitely come back.

Great, location. I met with owner Roberto and he will not be opening Monday to support the Latinos. Very clean and affordable prices.

They did look really fresh and delicious but, the donuts that I got were very stale as if they were from the previous day

Apple fritter was great. Service was friendly. Easy parking. No old fashioneds, which surprised me as they are a pretty standard donut store item. The bread pudding was thick and tasteless.

Roberto is very kind, decent prices, fresh and good quality. Lots of cake donuts, cream filled donuts, or my favorites, the raised glazed donuts!

My favorite place to get some healthy all natural juice and a breakfast sandwich. If you like spicy add chipotle to your sandwich. Soooo good.

Definitely a hidden gem, Best donuts ever! doesn?t matter what time you come the donuts are always super soft and delicious. I love the donut holes and the fresh pressed carrot juice, very good price compared to other restaurants. Love this place.

Best donut place ever. I?m coming back again to this place for sure. Just purchased a dozen donuts from this place and they are amazing. The owner is the sweetest and he was on dinner but stopped in the middle to serve us. Thank you so much Roberto

This is the worst experience I've ever encountered at a donut shop. Evil eyes from the latina who greeted me, there were long brown hairs inconspicuously baked into my donut, it ruined my whole day. I wish there was a sign for places like this to stay away from because I was sick in my stomach for days after. I've reported them to the Califonia Department of Public Health.

First time here and I?ll definitely be back. Quality is above and beyond what you expect for a hole-in-the-wall. Friendly service and superb donuts. Cinnamon twist was unbelievable, the Apple fritter melts in your mouth.

Excellent service from the owner and the donuts are really soft. Highly recommend the tamales too!

I love this donut shop, I come here often. and the donuts are delicious ??. Also, the owner is very nice.

Some of the best donuts I've ever tried. Went in the afternoon and they were still fo fresh and fluffy. Will definitely be frequenting!

Apple Fritter's are super oily. Overcooked so they're super crispy...not good. The last time I bought one from here the Apple Fritter literally dripped oil when I squeezed it.

Amazing deal on fresh, delicious donuts filled up with cream as I ordered them! I live in South Bay but I'll be coming back for more regularly.

Great service! Great selection! Very tasty donuts!!!
