Customer Reviews

I love this place. The guy with glasses, he is awesome. Love the fact that he takes his time with each customer. He always keeps track of who comes in and helps each customer out like it should. It gets busy at times but they got it! You will be out of there quickly. Love this place! Thanks

Great crossaint breakfast sandwiches! Great place ! Good prices! Open 24 hours

Excellent customer service! Best ice cream, boba, and donuts in town! I would definitely recommend this shop!!???

It's a cool place where the locals go for all their sweet cravings. The staff is very friendly considering the environment where the shop is located. You get fast friendly service at a reasonable price. Their donuts melt in your mouth. The breakfast croissants are perfect and their shakes are to die for!!!

Never been so insulted! Went there this morning. The only black there , made me pay for my sandwich b4 making it .. but with all the other customers they gave them their items b4 paying, want be going back they?re racist

I went today and got sent away because "there were too many people in the store" it was literally a mom and like 3 kids and a man by himself. I left my house just to get ice cream from here. Needless to say i will never go again. Many of my friends have gone when it has been busier and havnt got sent away. Never again waisting my time. I guess they dont need the business.

I stopped in for the banana nut ice cream but it wasn't like I remembered it.. however, I did enjoy their texas glaze. It was one of the best I e had so far. It was still good 2 days later.

Is super delicious and everyone is super friendly. This has been my place to go ever since I was a kid. I totally recommend you coming here if your wanting something delicious and affordable.

We go there because it's walking distance from our home. But everyone that works there are very personable. They require masks! They offer Soo much stuff that is excellent! ??This place!

I ordered a coconut smoothie that came out tasting like rotten milk. I handed back the full smoothie and asked for my refund, and the lady tells me "the coconut just comes tasting like that". I explained that I can't drink it, it's incredibly foul, and she immediately loses it. She yells "FINE!" and starts slamming the cash register, shoves the money in my hand, and throws the smoothie across the kitchen. I kid you not, I can't make this up. She threw it. All over $3.50.

Me and My wife have been coming here for 2 years now and the workers here still haven't changed up!! They are hella nice and they make u feel welcomed!! I even rolled a blunt or two in this ?? shop!! Check it out for yourself!!

The donuts were good but I ordered a freshly squeezed orange juice and I guess the guy didn?t wash the machine he made it in because it literally tasted like melon and oranges

Donuts so hot, fresh and mouthwateringly delicious with delightful ice cream and hot chocolate with whip cream is the best thing to get your day started! The best ever! Especially at 5AM!

I love these guys services is awesome & you get your money worth ???????

I like this place i dont hate it but i order here before and said no jalape?os but it was in my sandwich last time i gave it a second chance and order a sandwich and said no jalape?os twice but when i got home and was about to enjoy my sandwich theres jalape?o
