Customer Reviews

This hole in the wall mom and pop shop saved the morning with a buttery ham and cheese filled croissant when a local coffee shop shop I had just been to didn?t have anything in their pastry case. Such a small business vibe with warm and friendly older ladies keeping the place tidy and helping at the counter. Great service in general. Their products looked so so pretty and inviting. The croissant was heated for me and so absolutely warm and gooey. I had to try a donut too, got the plain glazed and it was v

Came here for the first time today. My brother got the #1 sandwich and my lord. It's so fire. The bread is perfectly toasted and still soft. The pastrami was perfect and the sandwich had the perfect amount of mayo and mustard. I got the banana nut muffin and it's was PERFECT! Perfect size, the muffin had a slight toast to it and yet it was soft and moist and flavor was amazing. I will most definitely come again. The older gentleman was quick and nice. Gave me his buisness card, and let me know i can call in

Tasty bagels,I ordered a egg and bacon and it was delicious, service is nice by the owners

Croissants were good. Quick service.

The family that runs this particular doughnut shop are very nice. While I wish they didn't have a minimum for debit / credit card orders, I can understand why they do. I have always received nothing but good polite service and great coffee from them; thank you.

You have to give this place five stars for their true hardworking spirit (and keeping the price low!!!!) One dozen for $9.75 for fresh donuts. I should stop by here every sat en route to my son?s Japanese school, so I can sugar him up.

The chocolates croissants are way too heavy. The croissants are ok...For 2$ a piece that's definitely not a good deal. Go to whole food and you'll get much better quality/taste and price...

Today was a perfect day for a delicious turkey sub sandwich...and two ham and cheese croissants. The staff are wonderful, very helpful and attentive. The sandwich came out a few minutes wrapped and ready to travel...they even warmed it. Whuch you can ask them not to but it taste delicious either way. The Boba is perfectly soft and plentiful in the cup. You will run out of drink before you finish the boba... The location is on the corner adjacent to Inn & out. Go here for fresh coffee and donuts and a wall f

The donuts are o.k. there is a excellent choice of sandwiches and the coffee is fresh.

1rst time there the worker said he didn't have flavored creamer for coffee/: called before going again and nice girl answered and said they did, 2nd time only(3) were given and made a face when my husband asked for xtra creamers. 3rd time charged me had already paid for my coffee and needed more, still a bit strong/: had to pay 20 cents for xtra vanilla creamers. 3 strikes your out in my book. Over coffee creamer, wow !!!!!

Breakfast sandwiches are the best ! Tasty, cheap, and filling. Theres alot of variety in this donut shop. From smoothies, to donuts, to hotdogs, to sandwiches. Also you will probably meet the friendliest staff you will ever meet in all of LA.
