Customer Reviews
It's a small cozy doughnut shop. Very clean and very attentive to customers. I paid about $9.50 for 1 small coffee, 1 small hot chocolate, and 2 doughnuts (coconut doughnuts and plain).
Universal Donuts is a small coffee-donut shop located on small plaza by Santa Anita ave and the 10 freeway. They offer a wide variety of sandwiches, donuts, coffee, smoothies and juices. I came here on a cloudy Friday morning to grab breakfast. It?s atmosphere was welcoming and was greeted by a friendly staff, a young dude. I ordered Vietnamese Ice coffee, glasses donut and item #7, a Turkey, egg, avocado and bacon croissant sandwich. Sandwich was soft, warm and tasty. Similarly, their donut and ice coffee
The donuts are light, airy, not too much sweetness which is perfect for me. Everytime I bring it into my office I always get compliments on how good these donuts are.
I have always been coming here since I moved back to Cali and these people are amazing . Always smiling and greeting when walk in . They only need EbT and they would be above 5 star . Forever my donut family
The donuts here is really good n the boss man is really nice n helpful
The shop is super clean and the customer service amazing. The donuts, and drinks are really good. Highly recommended
Good place if you want something good and fast
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this mom and son bakery. They are both so friendly, especially the son. I really enjoy his sense of humor. My favorite item is the veggie crossiant. I am really impressed how the items are placed in the crossiant. It's like a pattern. I also love the fact that salt ans pepper are added to my sandwich. It adds a little extra razzle dazzle.
Great little hole in the wall donut shop, also sell other items such as sandwichs.UPDATE: Hadn't bought donuts in a while' but bought 5 donuts today and 2 chocolate milks come up to 15 + . Just be mindful of your receipt' seems to over charge
There are many donut shops in the area and I drive further away from home to this one because it obviously, in my opinion has the best quality doughnuts for the price. They consistently excel in their product and that is donuts. Big thumbs up for a job well done...
Today the Friday before Christmas 2022. Whom ever was in charge of making the donut holes and the sugar twist donuts today has made the most fresh and best tasting donut treat I have ever purchased at Universal Donuts Compliments ! Have a Happy Holiday Season!
Better than Yum Yum donuts!! Amazing customer service and yummy donuts drinks and food!! Will not go back to yum yum donuts, will stick to universal ! Amazing service, seriously, especially by the Asian guy with tattoo on right side
Cute little donut shop and they have ham and cheese croissants! I?m always on the look out for those bc a lot of donut places don?t have them, but they do and they are delicious!

Awesome place awesome owner and super good pastry. The ham & cheese egg bacon croissant is the best thing ever.
I stop by almost daily on my way to work. Best coffee, best donuts, best service. Great way to start my day!
Best apple fritters hands down. Even better if you get them early in the morning when they are still warm.
Stopped by for some ice cream and the person who helped us offered a ice cream donut (something he didn't have on his menu). I would recommend the ice cream donut, very delicous!

(Translated by Google) Three stars for the donuts which are very soft and have a good texture. But, it's too sweet. The chocolate donuts need improvement, the chocolate powder taste is not good to eat. (Original) ?????????????????????????????????????????????
