They offer lattes and coffees as well, some inspired by Mexican flavors and drinks common in town. The staff is so-so.“

“Stunning Pastries That Look Like Art — Pizza Croissant Was the Star

If you’re looking for beautiful artisan pastries and creative croissants, this bakery is definitely worth visiting. The pastries look like edible art... the glazing, colors, and design are absolutely mesmerizing.
The service was excellent. One of the owners was there interacting with customers, which I really appreciated. It shows pride in the business and creates a welcoming atmosphere.
Flavorwise👀.. some pastries were fantastic while others looked better than they tasted for me. Here’s my honest ranking of the ones I tried:

1️⃣ Strawberry Croissant – 8/10
Light, fresh, and nicely balanced.
2️⃣ Strawberry Cream Pastry – 8/10
Soft texture and pleasant sweetness.
3️⃣ Raspberry cube Croissant – 10/10
Beautiful and delicious. One of the standouts.
4️⃣ Chocolate Croissant – 4/10
Looked great, but the flavor felt a little bland
5️⃣ mini heart Strawberry crossants- 8/10 Beautiful and delicious mini treat
6️⃣ Strawberry croissant – 5/10
Decent, but it didn’t leave a strong impression compared to the others...
7️⃣pistacho Croissant – 4/10
Beautiful glaze, but the flavor didn’t stand out much.
For drinks, I tried the hibiscus coffee that was recommended. I may have misunderstood the drink because I expected coffee with hibiscus syrup. Instead, it tasted more like a lightly carbonated hibiscus soda mixed with coffee, and it came across a bit watered down for my taste. It might just be the style of the drink, but it wasn’t quite what I expected when ordering coffee.
Overall, I walked out spending over $80 on pastries and coffee, so I was hoping for a bit more flavor to match the incredible presentation.
That said, the creativity, atmosphere, and service were wonderful, and the pizza croissant alone is worth coming back for. I’m looking forward to returning and trying more pastries and exploring more of the coffee menu.“

“Went for my usual coffee., cashier Eliana greeted me with a bright smile and was very friendly. While waiting for my order I was shockly greeted by the barista named Bri who was cleaning the lobby. She sparked a great conversation! This vibe is the reason my wife and I will always come to this store!“

“Inside a target store😀get your drink and then go spend some money“

“Winchell's Donut House is my absolute go-to spot whenever I’m craving donuts because, quite simply, they have the best donuts in town. Their selection is always fresh, and the variety they offer is fantastic. From classic glazed donuts to more unique flavors, every donut I've tried there has been consistently delicious. The dough is always soft and fluffy, with the perfect amount of sweetness, and the fillings and toppings are just right, making each bite a real treat.

However, as much as I love their donuts, there's one thing that consistently detracts from the experience: the flies. Every time I visit, I notice an unsettling number of flies buzzing around the store. It’s disappointing because the quality of the donuts is top-notch, but the presence of flies makes the environment less than ideal. I understand that it can be difficult to control, especially in a place where food is constantly on display, but it’s something that really stands out and affects the overall experience.

It’s a shame because Winchell's has so much going for it—the friendly staff, the amazing donuts, and the convenient location—but the flies are a significant drawback. I still go back for the donuts because they’re that good, but I find myself wishing they would take more steps to address the issue. Maybe improved cleanliness practices or better fly control methods could make a difference.

In the end, I highly recommend Winchell's Donut House for anyone looking for delicious donuts, but be aware that the atmosphere might not be the most pleasant due to the flies. I hope they can find a way to resolve this, because without that issue, Winchell’s would easily be the best donut shop around, bar none.“

“Each time I've been to this Starbucks, I've been greeted and as I waited for my drink I noticed that they made sure everyone that walks in and walks out is greeted as well. It's great to see that the staff is in good spirits when getting your morning coffee.“

“Man had a great time had some awesome service coffee was excellent as always 🙏🙏🙏🙏“

“Great bagels in a warm cafe setting. All employees are friendly with prompt service. Nice place to meet friends for relaxing conversation , food and coffee“

“they weren't out of what I went for today.“

“We had a good experience at Marina Donuts & Bagels.

The donut holes, cinnamon roll, and the mango boba were good.

The staff was friendly, and the store itself was clean during our visit.

The main downside was the long wait, which took away from an otherwise positive stop.“

“Just your average Starbucks, with the standard menu and friendly staff.The atmosphere is a bit lacking in that they only offer 3 small tables, with 6 chairs total in the entire shop. So climate controlled seating is very limited.Mobile orders do seem to take quite a while at this particular location.I was once waiting for nearly a half hour, just for a regular cup of drip coffee.Thankfully, I haven't encountered such a long wait time since.Other than that, meh... it's ok.“

“The store was on please and staff was pretty cordons with customers“

“Alright let me tell you i went here with my wife because we love the nob hills donuts but never bothered getting coffee at Peet's and it was a game changer first of all the lady that attended us was so nice, but i have never tried auch a good macchiato with caramel in my life brought me back to my tias coffee shop down south where she makes homemade style coffees. Definitely check out Peet's if youre in the area“

“Friendly crew, and well-made coffee and coffee-related products, namely peppermint mochas.“
