“"Sippin from your cup 'til it runneth over..." I heard JT performed at the Wiltern last night for free so I had his music on repeat in my head all day today during work. So of course I had to stop by here as soon as I saw the store name. I did NOT expect to find the best donuts I've ever had in my life. Period. I walked in and was greeted warmly and decided to just order the Original Sin and their version of classic milk. They were so nice and gave me another donut for free which was the Obrama. Everything was so scrumptious. I loved that the donuts weren't too big. The quality of the donut is so good that it only needs to be a smaller size to have the same effect as something larger. The outer texture and the crispness reminded me of the blueberry m&m donuts that they sell in OC where people line up for hours to buy. The donuts here taste better because the inside texture is a lot lighter and isn't as dense so you don't feel disgustingly full afterwards with regrets. I cannot wait to come back and get some for my family and friends. I wanted to test it out myself first prior to sharing with others. Yum! Also their classic milk was soooooo good and complimented the donuts so perfectly.“
“I must have died and gone to doughnut heaven. The donut texture is fluffy with a pleasant slight chew, and not oily or too sweet for the most part. Most were priced $4-5 each but I find it worth it for the quality of the ingredients.Our favorites are the misugaru (roasted soybean) because it's mild and nutty and has a chewy filled mochi inside. The black sesame is also intensely nutty with a chewy mochi inside too. My wife loves the sweet potato cream the most because it has fresh sweet potato puree along with milk cream, and it's the Korean/Japanese sweet potato that's delightfully sweet and nutty.Tiramisu had plenty of rich cocoa powder accompanying the tangy cream (probably cream cheese mixed in it?). The bitterness of the cocoa was the best together with the cream.The strawberry milk cream had a small amount of strawberry pieces but the cream was so milky rich yet light at the same time. The blueberry one is the exact same except with a few blueberries so I slightly prefer the strawberry one.Matcha creme brulee had strongly flavored matcha cream but I'm not too much of a fan of the sugar crust top. I might still try the regular creme brulee next time to compare the regular custard.Our least favorite was the apple cinnamon because the icing was too sweet but the presentation was beautiful with the pieces of apple inside.We saw quite a line build up after us at 10am so I'd come early since they open at 9am until they sell out! The parking lot is nice and big so it wasn't any trouble finding parking. The mall also has other interesting stalls like a kimbap and udon one if you need some savory to offset the sweet.“
“A long time customer and this is my favorite place to get chicken. Absolutely the best, hands down. A hidden gem indeed, I love Birdies. I ate them all in one sitting, lol. Delicious, juicy, fresh, high quality and it's worth every penny to me. I hope Birdies stay in business for many years. I highly recommend it to everyone.“
“Jenny and Julian are so nice they were closing up and i just missed them and Julian went back in and gave me these delicious cinnamon twist . Thanks Julian . You and Jenny are amazing the food is always top tier . Next time I’ll have to come get your famous breakfast sandwich and vanilla ice “
“I've had their strawberry shakes and peanut butter shakes so far, and they are so delicious!! The donuts are unbelievably delicious. I wish I had known about this place before. Now I'm a regular.Vegetarian options: It's a vegan donut shop. Safe for vegetarians.Parking: There is paid public parking on 51st Ave. North of York St.Kid-friendliness: Well, they offer donuts, ice cream, and shakes. I guess that makes it kid friendly.Wheelchair accessibility: The shop is on the ground level. There are no stairs to obstruct.“
“Best glazed donuts I've ever had, period. My wife agrees. The owner said she's been there for years, but we never bothered to go until last year. Now, we're hooked. We live about a mile and a half away and so we walk to the store for exercise, then treat ourselves for being good :-)“
“This is a really cute tiny spot right across the metro on Flower Street. The inside is very minimalistic and aesthetically pleasing. I did hear a lot of wonderful things about their matcha but sadly they were out for the day, which is okay it happens; I'll definitely be back for it! The owner was super sweet and a very helpful guy. All the menu items come with oat milk automatically, which is cool- you can always substitute with another milk except for the Cinnamon Toast Crunch Latte. I got the two best selling coffees which was the Cinnamon Toast Crunch + G Spot - I loved the Cinnamon Toast Crunch one it was perfectly flavored, but the G Spot one I had to toss as it was sooooooo sweet it was like drinking sugar; but Im sure that can be pleasant for sweet tooths so I'm not judging! The menu is super extensive so Im pretty sure there is something for everyone to love! Pricing is very high up there, but Im also not going to judge on that as cost of goods are flying through the roof for restaurant industries as well. Overall pretty good :)“
“This is a very nice family ran business. This business is one of my family's go to spots on our on the go or running too late to cook breakfast, but really need to eat something mornings. Our favorite is the number five croissant sandwich for breakfast. I get mine without mayonnaise, I order it that way, but they'll sometimes forget. Their kindness and hospitality makes up for it. Their doughnuts are super fresh and yummy too.“
“Best place for donuts in the city! I've been visiting this donut shop for many years and it's always been great. I recommend the cream filled round and the chocolate cake donuts. Very friendly staff and plenty of parking. A must have!“
“Very happy with what I bought today, the donuts were amazing and the person who helped me was very happy and had a smile on his face I was very content with the glazed donuts because they werent dry and they werent small either and i think this donut shop lives up to its rating, the ambience is very welcoming for a donut shop. Awsome 10/10 better than yum yum and winchells donuts.“
“I am so glad I finally got to try Alfalfa! If you're looking for a healthy, stress free (there's a parking lot!), pretty in pink, zen-like breakfast, lunch, or dinner - Alfalfa is it. They also have a location in Santa Monica if you're in that part of town. For my bevvy I tried the Vanilla Oat Milk Latte which was wonderful. I also got the Buffalo Goddess Wrap with medium dressing. The only thing I wish I did was add avocado which I was planning on doing but slipped my mind when ordering. This wrap was SO fresh and light but also had lots of flavor. I really enjoyed it. Lastly, I had to get a donut. Got the maple walnut - this was the only thing that tasted a liiiitle off. Maybe because it was gluten free? But when you have it with the coffee it makes it better. Prices are pretty normal for LA. The staff was absolutely lovely. Since it was my first time I had a few questions and they were able to help me pick out the perfect meal.“
“The best goto spot when you’re looking for a quick bite, snack, fresh juice, smoothie or coffee.Plenty of options with a wild variety to satisfy your cravings or munchies.This is the local hub in the neighborhood, easy to walk to but also has parking.The ladies who work here are awesome, they acknowledge you when you come in, very helpful, kind and accommodating.Vegetarian options: Big parking lot can also park ok the street“
“My bff brought home 2 vegan pan dulces from here, they were tasty , but not mind blowing. Props & blessings to Them though for making vegan items . I had a pumpkin empanada & concha type pan: too dry imo. I'll recommend cuz they're vegan, but I won't purchase or travel here. Can't opine on the price or parking or staff as I didn't visit the site.“
“Super fresh donuts... You can actually see them making the dough and cooking them! I enjoy lemon filled donuts and this place actually makes 3 different options: powdered, glazed, and sugar. I'm not that big of a tiger tail guy but these were good. The highlight of the bunch was the coconut cream despite the price. A close second was how good their raised glaze is; crispy exterior and light and chewy interior... Watch out Krispy Kreme!“
“Helpful quick service. I've lived in the area for years and this is my first time here. Big thumbs up on the ugliest donut ever...but whoa so yum...I'm talking about the blueberry glazed donut. Not a pretty donut, but sooooo gooood. The apple fritter is my moms fav...its bigger than my face...the fritter got a huge smile of mom approval...mom said she'll will be eating this huge slab of fritter for a week. I also ordered the ice coffee...it was cold in a really sturdy cup and delish, super refreshing...my cousin got the lychee drink made to order, no boba asked for, done, also refreshing. Another cousin told me he visits nearly every day and recommended the Boston Creme too, next time. They make a nice variety of sandwiches, will come back to try the sandwiches and the Boston Creme donut. And gotta have another blueberry donut. In fact, I'm going back tomorrow to get a breakfast croissant and assorted bakers dozen...oh yeah...a gem of a donut shop in the SGV.“
“This review is long overdue! I had such a great experience at this location. I have been to the Brea location as well and this one is my favorite. The customer service is great and the food is delicious. I like to eat there because it's better fresh and it was nice and clean inside.“
“This review is solely on the giant donut.... My birthday was last week and I wanted something different from regular ole birthday cake. I remember book marking this place after seeing a BIG donut! When my mom asked me what kind of cake I wanted I requested one of these. It did NOT disappoint. It was freaking delicious!!! Even my husband who isn't a huge donut fan really liked it! He thought it would be dried out and not good. It was so soft and fresh. Mmmmmm Even the leftovers the next morning were scrumptious! (I wrapped it in plastic wrap). The rest of my family enjoyed it too. The chocolate 44 numbers were also tasty so I'm sure the rest of their donuts are great as well. I can't wait to go in store and see what they have.“
“What a great donut spot. Staff is friendly and always great you with a smile. The ambiance is your classic donut shop with a glass case to view your doughnuts as you make your selections. They have refrigerates that store your cold drinks like juice, chocolate milk, milk etc. of course they serve coffee for those of you who want one with your donut and they also sell breakfast sandwiches. We usually go for the donuts. Donuts are great. We've had everything from glazed, maple bars, chocolate bars, cake donuts and of course the traditional donut holes. Every donut is very good. You can't go wrong with any one you pick. Looking for a donut and cup of coffee, give this place a try. Oh! You can also buy lotto tickets as well. Stay hungry my friends.“
“A hidden treasure. The bagels are the best!!!The cranberry bagel was absolutely delicious. Haven't tried any coffee yet, but they do hv a large variety?The restaurant was immaculately clean and the staff was pleasant, friendly, and professional.“
“Small business owned. My teen goes in before school, and the lady remembers him and is always so kind. For a teen to tell me, every time that woman is so nice and is always smiling makes me happy. So thank you to the owner for making his morning a little brighter.Donuts are always fresh. Clean atmosphere. It's definitely a good place for donuts and a drink.“
“Yum! Yum! Yum! I could eat here everyday. Wait, don't tell me they're plant-based!?! These tasty, melt-in-your-mouth delights are the best donuts I have ever had. They rival my favorite donut shop back home, but being healthier kinda wins my vote for being the best. The gals working today in the shop were just the nicest folks we met out here in LA. Recommend taking a box of these decadent treats home for later!“
“TMJ Café - A Haven for Donut Lovers If there's one thing you must try at TMJ Café, it's their Maple Bacon Donut. This delightful treat is nothing short of phenomenal. The donut itself is pillow-soft, providing the perfect canvas for the rich, sweet and savory toppings. The maple glaze is expertly balanced - not too sweet, just perfectly syrupy, complementing the crispy, savory bacon on top. Each bite is a harmonious blend of flavors and textures that leaves you craving more. The ambiance of TMJ Café adds to the experience, with a cozy and inviting atmosphere. It's clear that they put a lot of love and care into their baked goods. And if the Maple Bacon Donut is anything to go by, the rest of their menu promises to be just as delightful. In summary, TMJ Café is a must-visit for anyone with a sweet tooth. Their Maple Bacon Donut is a standout, and I am eagerly looking forward to indulging in the rest of their delicious offerings. Oh goodness gracious, this is a donut lover's dream come true!“
“I stop here sometimes in the morning before work to get donuts for everyone. They're so good. It's just a woman and her husband and both of them are super nice and super helpful. I went in today with a friend of mine to get lunch and it was really good, really filling and affordable. The woman working seems to really care about the customers and will talk to them and remember little bits about them. If you're ever in Silverlake you have to stop here. Q“
“As someone who is not a big fan of donuts in general, Fantastic Donuts and Croissants exceeded my expectations. After stopping by to try their chocolate twist donut, I reached out for a price quote on a customized set of donuts. Lily responded in a timely fashion and was patient in answering questions I had. She is very creative and talented. It is evident that lots of time is put into designing these donuts. I had ideas of what I wanted and Lily was able to bring it to life without any photos! The donuts I ordered were wonderful and looked too good to eat. Friendly service and the donuts tasted as amazing they looked! Will definitely return and continue to recommend this donut shop to friends and family to check out. Can't wait to come back and order more customized donuts!“
“This is on my way to school & work & I must say I love it. It's not often to find a place the has a turkey & cheese croissant. I recently gave up eating pig & trying to limit my red meat intake & ham & cheese were one of my go to's. I'm glad this location offers this, and the donuts are magnificent. Co-workers have picked up from here & that's how I found out about this gem. The staff is friendly & the shop looks well maintained. Overall I'd say this is a great location, clean environment, & good pastries/baked goods. Thank you“
“I've been coming here for years and this place is always so consistently fresh and yummy. The donuts are awesome and compared to bigger donut places, this small shop does it better. Every time I grab a dozen donuts and bring it to friends and family, everyone wants to know where I get my donuts and I tell them about Jon's. The owners are always so friendly and I enjoy talking to them every time I stop by.“
“Tops in the area when it comes to the cinnamon roll. Large, and full of the cinnamon flavor. $2.75 puts it in the midrange compared to other shops. Owners are really nice so that's another reason to visit. They also have a crumb version of the cinnamon roll which is fantastic.“
“The Kettle Glaze place is one of the best surely everyone loves. It’s the best place to buy deliciously made donuts, drinks freshly made at an affordable rate. From the staff friendly, knowledgeable, and warm welcoming. Excellent service and foods great.“
“Beautiful donuts with beautiful owners! This is such a hidden gem in Los Angeles for specialty donuts. Not to mention they go above and beyond by also having stumptown cold brew coffee, smoothies, croissants, and panini sandwiches!The donuts have the trifecta of variety, value, and deliciousness. They have extremely unique flavors such as crème brûlée, maple bacon, matcha, lemon poppy seed. There's bound to be something here for everyone.Parking lot has plenty of spaces, which is rare in downtown. Coming here will leave you with no regrets!“
“First prices are (great) we had 2 maple bars, one ham and cheese croissant, a sugar twist for about $8 and they threw in some donut holes too! The donuts were so good and soft just perfect. Nice place to pick up donut and affordable. Highly recommend.“
“For donuts, I give them 5 stars. For coffee, stick to the regular ol' drip pot. The "espresso" drinks are for kids -machine made, super sweet, and don't taste much like actual coffee. I stress, however, their donuts are REALLY good. Fresh n tasty! ??“
“I always go to the donut shop for its house made sodas or a nice breakfast sandwich but I went with something different and got the sundae and the owners are always nice no matter what the time and always show respect, they always make good food and can make you feel at home and have great service. The environment feels so friendly and nice you can never feel separated or disrespected as they always show respect. Overall a great place“
“I have been to Fresh Donuts several times, and I always have a great experience. The owner, Jasmine, is very nice. She goes out of her way to provide the highest quality products to her customers. After going there a few times, she found out that I like mild cheddar cheese because I brought it in to have put on my sandwich. After doing that for me, she offered to buy mild cheddar cheese so it would be there for me and other customers who like cheddar. To my mind, great quality in products starts with exceptional quality in the people who bring the very products and service to their customers. Knowing of Jasmine's dedication to personal growth and superior product availability for selection, Fresh Donuts is a very definite keeper! Michael Darcy“
“Ice cream + donuts is always a hit! Service here is always fast and friendly! I love their Paramoreo donut with Paramoreo ice cream! (Think Cookie Monster Oreo ice cream) My only complaint is that they don't have as much donut options as their sister shop, Donut Friend. Parking can be kind of tricky as it does get busy on sunset and it's street parking only.“
“Excellent donuts here! Just stopped by on a whim and we were very impressed! I had a chocolate twist and my husband got the glazed twist. Both were so excellent that we wouldn't share with each other because we couldn't bear not finishing what we started.... Both donuts were warm and extremely fresh!! The chocolate icing was perfect; not overpowering but very complimentary to the donut that was so flavorful, I could have eaten it plain and still enjoyed it just as much! This place is a gem and we will definitely be back!“
“A W E S O M E ! !Incredible food, I was waiting for my " alambre" and some aks for a torta de asada with pastrami and grilled onions. I was a big torta with a great smell.Love it!! The ice coffee, breakfast burrito.. They have a special menu,Great job Moisés. ?“
“These are the Best Donuts ? in Compton, Hands down!! Perfect Sweetness, Nice and Fluffy. The staff is Professional, and polite. They smelled so good I had to eat one before I took a picture. I highly recommend for anyone in search of great quality donuts.“
“Really decently priced. I got 2 dozen donuts this morning and it was $15.50 per dozen. The person who helped me was very kind and helpful, even made sure to bring out a batch of maple bars as an option. The place is clean and the environment is much of what you expect of a donut shop. Would definitely go again for the prices and the service!“
“This is probably some of the BEST customer service that I have ever encountered. Of course I will be returning for the donuts and croissant sandwiches (delicious) BUT the customer service is what is really be drawing me back... Long story short I was having a bad morning, I was supposed to be going to Starbucks to do my work, I stopped in Knead to get a sandwich... while I was waiting the sweet woman asked if I wanted a donut because they just came out and they were hot... of course I accepted . The first bite WAS AMAZING, melted in my mouth literally. That really made my morning so much better. Thank you , if you are reading this. Also the man offered to let me do my work in there, which was so kind but my friend wanted to meet at Starbucks next door (she sucks) ... but thank you so much ! I highly recommend this place. They have a great selection of donuts .“
“Was randomly craving donuts and this spot showed up on my google search with a high rating, definitely did not disappoint. They have soooo many options to choose from when it comes down to drinks and food (sandwiches, boba, fresh squeezed juices…) and if you’re feeling lucky, they also have lottery tickets and scratchers. Bought half a dozen donuts which were delicious and 2 drinks. I really enjoyed my green tea lemonade and the raspberry one was also good. The customer service was great. The gentleman who served us our drinks was so nice and welcoming with a great smile. Will definitely be going back.“
“Donut Factory is a fantastic spot! Their customer service is top-notch, and their donuts are simply delicious. Whether you're a fan of classic glazed or adventurous with unique flavors, they've got you covered. Highly recommended for a sweet treat!“
“Prices have gone up from when I 1st started going with my GF. I remember my GF and I would go specifically for her bobas but they are now 6$ I remember literally a year ago they were 4.75$ the doughnuts are just ok. You can tell when they are yesterdays or even the day before. They crumble apart. Besides that we did find that going to winchells Doughnuts was much less expensive and better.“
“The owners of this donut store are great people and they will do whatever they need to do to make sure you're taking care of. On the other hand, this place is swarming with lottery ticket people that take up the tables all day long and end up getting in your way and almost ignoring anyone else that's there just to get donuts or coffee.“
“Usually I don't like writing reviews but I bought glazed donuts for all my coworkers and the donuts were so fluffy, fresh from the oven and delicious. I'm so happy they really loved it. Specially the owner they are so nice and friendly. I will order again, I highly recommend this restaurant and Thank you សូមអរគុណ“
“Free parking. Old fashioned mom and pop donut shop. Glad they still exist. Everything looked so yummy, so many great choices. Like a kid in a candy store (donut store). Chose these this visit: bear claws, apple fritters, chocolate donut, cream filled donuts. Everything tasted fresh and superb. They even threw in two free donut holes in our order. $.50 to use credit card.“
“This place gets 5 stars because the husband and wife couple who own this shop are the nicest and most pleasant people. They work very hard from the very early morning, but have a great smile of appreciation for all the customers who visit their shop.Parking: Parking is easy in the AM, before other businesses in the strip mall open.Kid-friendliness: YesWheelchair accessibility: Yes“
“I have come here 2 times in the last 2 weeks to get the too good to go donuts. I buy them for my parents, because they enjoy eating donuts. And because at the end of the day a lot of food goes to waste, so I'm trying to save the food by buying a box of leftover donuts (I did this when I worked at a coffee bar as well, I just could not bear to see food get tossed out at the end of the night. So many bagels lost ) This place is small with a couple of tables so that you can eat there if you want to. I normally just get the donuts and go home, as I live down the street from this donut place! I normally just place an order of donuts on the app too good to go. My total is $4.99, and then I come here around 6pm to pick them up. You need to tell the workers here that you are picking up either 1x donuts = 1 dozen, or 2x donuts = 2 dozen, etc. My dad likes to come here and buy their donuts as well! This store is run by hard working people, so be nice to them if you can! And support your local small businesses if you can!“
“Man oh man how can I explain the flavor kick in these heavenly donuts. Let me just say these are the best donuts in all of man kind. Le glaze donut tasted like the sweetest vanilla glaze ever. So pillowy and soft i demolished the whole thing in like 40 seconds. If you’re in the bell area you must try these delicious donuts.“
