I got the Vietnamese iced coffee, it was so bomb. I like my coffee sweet, and it was perfect. I seen them make it in front of me, honestly better than like starbucks. The croissant Tuna sandwich, was really good too.

I had a bacon egg and cheese croissant with mayo and avocado along with a cinnamon roll! Really really really good and filling! I had them warm up the cinnamon roll and it topped it off. The customer service was great! Other people were ordering coffee, so they must have a great blend! I recommend!

The sandwiches are fire, I always get it with a jalapeño and go home and add my own Avocado, but you have the option to get it there. Nice people, the sandwiches might take a bit of waiting but is definitely delicious and worth the wait. Donuts I go for are always the cream puffs they're my favorite but maybe the custard is too sweet overall I still recommend it(once and a while) easy parking, and nice waiting area. Good drink selection as well.

Good tasting fresh donuts. Not much of a variety as say a winchells but they have your basics.

Three stars for the donuts which are very soft and have a good texture. But, it's too sweet. The chocolate donuts need improvement, the chocolate powder taste is not good to eat.

Guy is super friendly, and they always fill up my daughter's bottle with ice before her games, my favorite place for ice coffee.

I always order #3 with jalapeños and a carrot/orange juice from here. I have tried the carrot/orange combo from so many places, thinking it should taste the same since it's literally carrot and orange. Boy, was I wrong. The carrot/orange from here is unmatched and actually tastes like carrots and oranges. Other places will add more orange where I won't be able to taste the carrot. Also, when o do ask for more carrots, or doesn't taste right. I'm going to miss this place when I move. It was myGo to for some many years Dow my long drive to work at 6am. Staff here are super nice and it is clean compared to other donut shops.

Very good donuts. The dough is soft and fresh. The glaze is not too sweet. Highly recommend! The staff was very nice and friendly too. Price was reasonable.

Stopped by this place on the way home after my daughters dentist appointment. I wanted to get her some donut holes and some breakfast. Parking was kind of small and the street is off the 10 freeway so it can get pretty busy with traffic. Got 6 donut holes and the breakfast croissant. The donut holes were good. My daughter enjoyed them but she would like anything sweet. They were nice and fluffy. The croissant was also pretty good. It was nice and full with ham cheese and egg and the jalapeño gave it a nice sour spicy taste. The croissant was flakey and soft. I was thinking of also buying a lotto ticket while I was waiting but when looking around they don't sell any.

Cute little donut shop and they have ham and cheese croissants! I’m always on the look out for those bc a lot of donut places don’t have them, but they do and they are delicious!

Came here for the "cream puff". Well it's more like mini cream donut, not really cream puff. If your day is bitter, you'll probably think the cream isn't sweet enough. If your day is good, you may think the cream is too sweet.We also got the classic sugar glaze & chocolate glaze donuts. They are soft and airy donuts. Nice size too.
