Customer Reviews

Not sure about the Twin Donut side of the store but the Blimpie side does not represent the name brand. Went there to get a Blimpie hero with ham and they had no Swiss cheese, no Red Onions and no Black olives. Left the place and got a great sandwich at a local bodega at half the price. I love Blimpies but this place does not represent the franchise.

The cashier is a true gem. Sweet and personable. I hope she?s well compensated. The cook was super fast and efficient. Honestly, this place could use a face lift but overall it?s pretty clean. The food was good and hot like I like it. Keep up the good work, see you next time I have to come to court to pay some tickets ??

On my break, I found a Twin Donut restaurant near me. I was pleased that they serve really good subs. I chose the Meatball Parmigiana as my order to stay. It turns out that the customer service was really great, as they asked me if I needed anything else. When I sat, I took my time with the Meatball Parmigiana. The place was mellow, clean, and I felt like I could chill there. Thank you Twin Donut!

I have come often and it's pretty good, made to order sandwiches. I came for their ice cream today, with this heat wave. Came in handy. Did t order food today and will update rating as I order food. The ice cream was good and the raspberry swirl cheesecake was good too but the ice cream was better.

It's pretty good. I really enjoy a Blimpie sandwich over Subways.

Went there for a blimpies best sandwich. Got 2 of them, Korean fried chicken, juniors red velvet cheesecake, and birthday cake gelato. Spent 57 dollars for me and my friend. It was worth it. Got food for at least 2 days

when I am in this area I go inside and order an old classic sandwich the Blimpe best combo there are not many blimpies around I'm old school so if you were raised in the 1970s go here and get a sandwich fresh made to order this a classic I highly recommend this place

I wasn't there for their Donuts but I did get myself a Blimpies Sandwich there. I actually got a Blimpies Best with lettuce, tomatoes, onions, mayo, salt, vinegar, pepper and oil. Oh how I missed Blimpies Sandwiches. This location is the closest to me the one in my neighborhood burned down about 20 years ago and never reopened. Biting into the sandwich brought me back to my childhood, the flavors and memories. The staff was very nice and outgoing.

The only blimpies left in the south Bronx and it?s very very much appreciated. Only problem I have is they don?t have wheat bread everyday and that?s a problem for me who don?t eat whit bread

I have been coming here for many years. Convenient to all the courts, and they provide good service. The food for this type of establishment is exceptional, and will recommend it to anyone. Pricing is also convenient.

The workers shorted me my change for the second time an I have a witness. The first time it was dollar an the second time was a ten dollar bill. I left bank with co-worker went to get the two doughnuts w/coffee for $2.80 an I gave the lady a $20 she gave me back a five An three ones with change balled up an placed in my hand so I saw the five An figure the ten is under so I ran out to catch bus An once on bus I noticed the change was wrong. I called several times An got no answer so I have decided to write

Always courteous. Fast delivery; good selection and fresh ingredients for the price. Even have variety of deserts. Been around for many years.

Place is dirty the worker was eating a snack while preparing food. Didn't see her wash her hands at all. Some of the food were not properly covered. Not sanitary.

I ate breakfast here and it was alright come on it's twin donuts...the gentleman in AM cooking breakfast was very nice...the breakfast came with coffee however the young lady in the front didn't give it...if you don't say it you won't get it

If you sell blimpie sandwiches make them like blimpie sandwiches the taste is gone they replaced the ham with the cheaper meats. not the classic taste.

great service & tasty sandwich :) would recommend to friends, def stop by if you're in the area

Horrible service. I was coming here every othe morning and ever since they have changed staff. They are slow . And still got my order wrong after the 3rd time. No longer a customer there sorry

Small place. They serve blimpie sandwiches on one side. You can get twin donuts/ desserts on the other. They also serve ice cream.

Clean n quiet. Plants of space and everyone had gloves and masks on. A little pricey but good n tasty food

Fast and convenient always good food ice cream pricey but it's OK

The sandwiches, doughnuts, and drinks are good, but seating is limited sometimes. Pricing isn't that bad either.
