Customer Reviews

As soon as I walk through the door even though she was attending a customer she's still greeted me. The place is very nice and clean and well lit outside. I was able to park in the front which was very convenient. They also have a sign that says free ice water I don't know if that requires a purchase. I paid a little more than I used to for my coffee. Unfortunately they don't have the traditional ham and cheese and jalapeno croissants and the one she was willing to make was more than I pay at other donut sh

I came here to get a maple bar donut, a chorizo breakfast bagel, and an iced hazelnut coffee. The bagel was definitely delicious. The iced coffee was good too but I didn't really like the type of hazelnut creamer used though, it tasted slightly smoky somehow though I can imagine others might like it. And as for the donut, it was decent as well but I've definitely had better. Somehow, the maple bar donut tasted a little bit like a guava and cheese strudel lol but I still liked it.

Wow glazed, coconut donut and concha all superb. Got the vegan sandwich and green juice which were perfect as well. Everything was so fresh even though I ordered late morning on a delivery app. Been waiting years for someone to make vegan yeast donuts and Winstar nailed them!

friendly staff & great vegan options, especially the cigar donuts!

I ordered the Roast Beef sandwich at this location, along with a Mocha Cappuccino and it was delicious. The sandwich was great, especially after a rainy and cloudy day. Not to mention, it?s in close proximity to the local church and grocery stores. A great spot for reflection and a peaceful refuge.

I cannot express enough how amazing the vegetarian sandwich is! I ordered it with their homemade mustard and Chipotle sauce instead of vegan mayo. The avocado had the perfect creaminess and the vegetables were crunchy and fresh between the freshly toasted roll. Washed it down with the fresh green juice. The customer service is very friendly. As a first time customer I was given a vegan concha to try and it was still warm. Again, everything is fresh and tasty! You won't be disappointed!

I went in to try the Donut Pupusa. Tastes like a Pupusa, shaped like a Donut. Nice crusty exterior. Kind of eat like a Calzone. They serve is with a really flavorsome red tomato sauce. The best cheese pull you'll ever have! The coffee is a specialty blend of Salvadoran, Guatemalan, and Columbian origin. Their vegan conchas were REALLY good, ngl, I was surprised. Their Salvadoran quesadilla might be the best I've ever had. This is not your regular Donut shop.

I highly recommend it. Best quality, amazing selection and the Bread-quesadilla is the best of my life! I never had any like this. Delicious ??. Amazing vegan bread selection and food. Natural and green juices!

I popped in around 6:30am and was greeted warmly. I picked up a donut, an iced coffee and asked for an iced hazelnut mocha. They were very helpful and offered to blend the mocha making it like a mocha with whip on top. The coffee was great and the donut and blended mocha were devoured quickly. Greasy place with awesome service and clearly a local favorite.

Winstar Donuts - home of the world-famous pupusa-donut! Saw this on Univision?s Despierta America morning show and was so excited to try it in person the moment I was in the neighborhood. It did not disappoint!!! Staff was super friendly and they clearly have lots of loyal, local customers. Looking forward to visiting again next time I?m in town! Saludos, familia!

Order some coffee and hot choc. Donut are very soft. Really enjoy it. Nice service too.

I visited Winstar this morning for my second time. The establishment is very clean,organized, along with prompt and friendly customer service. Fresh coffee and soft concha?s are a great way to start your day!

This is one of my favorite donut shops in Lynwood. I have tried their donuts, croissants, coffee, and sandwiches. They never miss! On my last visit I tried their donut popusa. I regret not getting it sooner because it was DELICIOUS! The owner created this item with the help from his mother's recipe. Shout out to them for sharing this yummy donut with the world. Aside from the menu, the owner + staff are beyond helpful and friendly. Overall, they won me as a loyal customer! <3

Great variety of vegan donuts. Service was friendly and helpful. Did not feel rushed in anyway. Plus I had about all same options of regular donuts

I arrived super early to pick up some vegan donuts for an event. The staff were super nice and the donuts were phenomenal! Everyone loved them and the non-vegans said "it tastes like a real donut!" ?? and the conchas were SO yummy, I inhaled them before I could snap a pic! I wish I had more! I'll definitely be back often!

I can?t believe after years of getting their vegan donuts, I?m finally writing a review. This donut shop has fresh vegan donuts, conchas, juices, and during the Three Kings holiday/dia de Los Reyes, a Rosca de Reyes.

Best vegan donuts I have tried at a great price! They look just like regular donuts and are light and delicious. Apple fritter is not super sweet but very good with a cup of coffee.

Came here because my grandparents wanted to try the pupusa donuts. Did not disappoint. Grabbed a quesedilla, too, it looks so soft and moist. The workers there are very welcoming; overall, a great ambience.

Great customer service and the pupusas donut was really good! Definitely need to try them out

My second time coming and getting the vegan donuts. So DELICIOUS?.my favorites are this pink and white hispanic bread cookie, apple fritter and cinnamon roll. Gone so quickly amongst us, that I don?t have pictures. Excellent customer service always too. I love this bakery because it?s not too sweet, so it feels like a healthy treat ????

Great selection of vegan donuts and pastries. While I don't usually like fried/raised donuts, these are pretty good. Everyone loved how light they are. The employees are very friendly and considerate.

Vegans rejoice!! Fantastic selection of vegan donuts and pastries! Great texture, perfectly sweetened, so reasonably priced! Bolillo, donut holes, croissants--plus non-vegan stuff for people who don't yet know how good vegan stuff is now! (But seriously, no one would ever know these are vegan, so feed them to grandpa and just don't tell him that his arteries aren't going to clog.) The staff is also super friendly!!

Love this little spot , ?? I go almost daily ?? I recommend the donut pupusas and the vegan vanilla conchas ????

Incredibly delicious turkey croissants and donuts. Very clean location, fair prices and friendly staff! ...Way better than the nearby competing donut shops

Good doughnut shop putting out some vegan options. Tried some doughnuts and Mexican type too. Everything was good. The staff is helpful with options. There is more on the menu only came for the doughnuts. There is so,e parking in the back, out front is quite busy. Right off the 105 for convenience. Recommend for sure.

Delicious! Stopped in for 3 coffees and 3 donuts which came out to about $11. The service was A+ and the place was very clean. Will definitely stop by when I'm in town ??

He is famous for his donut pupusas and now I know why! They are so soft and delicious better than the actual pupusas! And his donuts are delicious as well

The pupusa donut was an interesting take, it was ok.

Partner ordered donuts and coffee from a delivery app. The box is cute! And someone took care when decorating these donuts. The coffee was good. This won't be my favourite donut place because I prefer a heavier donut and stronger coffee but I definitely recommend giving it a try.

Stopped by on National Donut Day for some hot chocolate, quesadilla and some donuts. The donuts, quesadilla and hot chocolate were delicious. Fantastic attitude with the staff here. A pupusa donut? I got to try that one eventually. ***I stopped buy this morning for the world famous pupusa donut. Is it really good. I split it with someone and she says "Bien deliciosa voz, le ponen frijol y queso." ????

Really clean interior and super nice women working the front at 530 in the morning. Box of dozen is about 17 dollars walking in and if you have anxiety about picking the ones you like you don't have to worry here since it's mostly preselected for you. Also picked up a ranchero bagel which was quick to put together. We were out the door in less than 5 minutes.

Amazing vegan donuts, and customer service was a 10. Very affordable compared to other vegan donuts.

Friendly staff, very attentive and helpful. Love the treats.

Everything about this place is nice. It great feng shui. I really like the setup. Staff was inviting very welcoming. They had a good variety of donuts.

? This review is only for their [Vegan] options. I haven't tried the Vegan food yet, although their Vegan donuts and Vegan [conchitas] are delicious (??). The place was very clean and the staff were outstanding.

This donut shop is great! My sister is the only one who is vegan and we love that we both can come here and enjoy both the regular and vegan donuts. Even though the vegan donuts taste just as delicious as the regular ones! The owner and staff are always so nice and attentive. He can even make special donuts/orders for any occasion. He's already done donut style cakes for my sister and I for birthdays! And he makes sure he makes them look beautiful for you ?? . The shop itself looks very clean and welcoming.

Good place good coffee ?? great service ??

The service here was impeccable! They seemed a little short-staffed, but the gentleman at the register was very kind and patient with us, as we were getting two dozen donuts and a few of their vegan treats. He even gave us our four conchas for free! And when we sat down at a table to enjoy some bites before we headed out, he even offered us another free vegan treat to try! He was very conscientious of us.

I've been there quite a few times, and I've tried from sandwiches to sweet bread and the pupusas on bread. Everything is always fresh and tasty.

It's a very clean donut shop. The staff has always been incredibly friendly, I've yet to have a bad experience here. We originally tried this place because one of my children is lactose intolerant, and we saw they have vegan options. We tried it and it is so delicious. Absolutely recommend this shop.

Very friendly and courteous service. Good coffee and burrito, average donuts. Not sure why so many 5-star reviews?I?ve learned that in LA, establishments with a ?Vegan? menu option somehow are elevated to 5-star status automatically. Solid 4 stars overall, but if looking for donuts specifically, I would venture elsewhere.

My family and I tried every vegan donut and muffin. The kids couldn't tell the difference between vegan and non vegan. Very delicious. The best thing about my experience at Windstar donuts, was the young boy who waited on me. He's a total pro. Friendly helpful and kind. Overall I'd eat there again.

I?m 100000% pupusa lover for life and finally I found winstar Donuts , will be my only stop, I?m pure salvadorian I recommend this unique donuts pupusas place to all but don?t believe me try yourself and will know what I?m talking about,thanks all for your standing service

My to-go place for vegan donuts! I love this spot! Great and friendly service. Thank you so much!

I absolutely loved my experience here. Winstar donut shop was very clean with a modern look and finish. Their breakfast meal combo was a perfectly priced ($6.49) and you got a medium coffee, donut, and a sandwich. I got a chorizo sandwich and it tasted just like my traditional Mexican mom made the sandwich! My first experience is definitely 5 stars!

Love coming to this place! The employees are always so nice and generous ?? I come often for their vegan conchas they?re the best I?ve ever had I can?t get enough of them they?re so addicting! The sandwiches are also very good and I like to top it all off with their iced coffee which in my opinion is better than starbucks or dunkin 10/10 Definitely recommended this place!

Good place to visit and grab a quick bite

Best cafe shop in town. You don?t have to go to corporate coffee shops?this is a must place to eat. Always courteous and friendly personnel. Cozy and most important clean!!! Juices are delicious and always fresh.

They have vegan Conchitas and Donuts!! The staff there is super friendly and helpful. Love that they're in Lynhood and offering vegan options!! Pricing is also good! It's definitely a must go to stop by when in town.

as a vegan it is difficult to find vegan desserts. Especially at an affordable price. Recently discovered this place and their vegan options are completely affordable! Their donuts are my favorite! also their chocolate conchas! Totally recommend for vegans and non-vegans??

I'm a huge believer in supporting local businesses so I decided to give this place a spot. Honestly, not a huge doughnut fan so I give them 5 stars because of the customer service. The place was clean and inviting and the staff do a great job at making you feel valued. I would say give it a shot.

the store location isn't too inviting because of parking is in the rear next to an alley...staff is friendly, very clean place but i wasnt impressed with the taste of their donuts. i think its the oil that they're using. also the cost of a dozen is about $12 dollars and the donuts are smaller than the average size.

I?ve been here twice both times have been a great experience. I just turned Vegan, their vegan selection is really good and delicious. I?m glad that I don?t have to go out of town to get some delicious Vegan dessert.

Less talk about what was good the ham and cheese was really good one of the best my husband said, I try the rebuelta donut the I was craving for 3weeks but in a real bean person and it was a disappointment to taste caned beans on it forgive me if im wrong but throw it all in the trash sorry but not my type of beans

Stopped by this donut shop the other day. It?s just like your any other average donut shop. Nothing out of the ordinary. Maybe I have to try something else to really find the taste. Coffee here is not the best. Maybe use better product? I?ll be probably returning to choose something else from the menu.

This is a fresh alternative to the other donut shop hole in the walls and YUM YUM. I mean what more can you do with donuts, right? Well taste is everything. Their donuts taste like pan dulce, melts in your mouth and are light but filling. If you liked KFC donut sandwich , you'll like their donut popusa,. I haven't tried it but I've seen it around here.

Winstar Donuts Thank You So Much!! I?ve been vegan for 5 years now, and although I can find a vegan replacement for almost everything it had been years since I?ve had Bolillo. It was one of the only things I felt I was missing when I went vegan. Growing up in a Mexican household we always had Bolillo, and conchitas every morning. Now I can order Bolillo from your place, and not just Bolillo, vegan donuts and conchitas too!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!! Your vegan donuts, conchitas, and bolillo are all

Donut shop has street parking in the front. The store was clean and had social distancing signs. All employees were wearing masks. I ordered Birthday donuts and they did an awesome job.

Delicious vegan donuts. We also had the vegan Alfredo dish and the beet juice. Everything was tasty.

looking for vegan options around town through maps...so disappointed there isn't much round but came across this place...supper excited to try it...went by around 6:45 the staff was excellent, super knowledgeable, and friendly which is always a good thing early in the morning or anytime during the day :) this is a go to place my vegans or omnivores

The donuts are really good. They were soft and sweet and the price was very good. The store is very clean and well lot. Good customer service.

Stale donuts and unmelted cheese in a croissant that's been heat up twice? Every donut taste the same, below average. Definitely over priced
