Customer Reviews

Love supporting this little donut gem. The lady is always super nice and donuts are so soft and fluffy!

So happen to be in the area so I stop by to get some coffee went to my car and realized I got an extra doughnut for free. The male at the counter I?m not sure if it was the owner, but he was so friendly and so so respectful!!!

A wonderful little donut and sandwich shop that serves the locals. In the age of social media, pop up restaurants and foodie fads, this little jem serves as a reminder of the past. Cash only, a friendly greeting at the door and a warm cup of coffee. You recognize your neighbors and familiar faces. There is that nostalgic feeling of the past, before everyone was constantly on their iPhones.

Very friendly couple at the counter. Always get a box of a dozen donuts here from time to time. They make them really good here, though I recommend getting them before 8am because the donut options get slimmer as the morning goes on. Browsing their menu, they have quite a variety of breakfast and lunch items that look good.

Tldr: great sandwiches! Worth trying out This place is a hole in the wall. No frills, great and friendly service, amazing taste. I?ve tried a couple of sandwiches and the donuts and they are fresh and well made! The place accepts card now!

Super friendly staff. Very chipper in the morning. Great home made donuts and decent microwave breakfast on the fly place. I don't drink coffee, but that seems to be the main attraction. Local hang out for the older Chinese men in the neighborhood, typically hanging out reading the Chinese newspapers. Just a To go place for me. Parking is a bit sketchy..

Great place great prices!! The couple working there really nice and get to know their customers and will remember you and your order. I love their walnut coffee
