Customer Reviews

Like a pastry filled oasis, San Gabriel Donuts satisfies my sweet tooth like no other place on earth. Their selection is exactly what I look for and the donut holes are like little drops of bliss. Blessed are the donut makers for bringing dreams to reality!

The time they open is at around 5:30am I waited there since 4am it says they open at 4:30 but that is incorrect I waited at the door and the guy seen me and turned off the lights i use to love going but this would be the last time

Always Good service here. It?s Clean and friendly staff. Donuts and croissants are always fresh. Have been going here as long as I can remember.Make sure you go early because they sell out quick.

Small mom and pop donut shop located all the way down San Gabriel Blvd in Rosemead. Probably wouldn't even have known about this place had it not been for some food pages and Yelp; plaza has several other shops, but businesses didn't seem too crazy on a Tuesday afternoon. San Gabriel Blvd is also super busy, so it's very easy to miss the plaza if you're not aware of where you're going. It seems like San Gabriel Donut's popular items are the cream puffs and blueberry donut holes. I called ahead and unfortun

The friendliest little neighborhood doughnut shop. The owners are really nice, and they have sandwiches, drinks, and shakes as well. I went this morning and got a variety of doughnuts and it felt good to support a small local business.

Small place but very clean. I recommend trying the turkey sandwich special add bacon. It is delicious. With a milk tea Boba you can't go wrong.

I used to go here every morning for milk tea with boba it was like my coffee in the morning and when I moved out here to las vegas nevada about 10 years ago I have not found a place all this time that makes them right so everytime I go to cali I always stop here its been a few years tho so when I found out my mother in law was coming out here I begged her to stop here and get me some! I guess when she stopped they remembered me (I dont know how that looks on me lol) but it made my day I am now sitting here

I got fresh donuts! Yay! Made a nice little desert after great authentic Mexican food next door at Viva grill! They know how a nacho is done right!
