My plain coffee was burnt, the sandwich barely had a thousand island and lastly the bathroom was closed for customers. The people at the counter was great.

Second time here and i always hear arguing behind the counter. Hope is not with the employees. Maybe thats the reason why she/him greet us without energy or enthusiasm. ?

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!

One of my favorite fast and convenient cafes in the South Bay! This use to be the old Yellow Basket. They have a few parking spaces in the front, but if it's crowded, you might have to find street parking. Upon walking in, they have a huge glass case of donuts, but I usually go for the other breakfast/lunch items! For breakfast/brunch, I get their Breakfast Burritos. They offer four different types, and each comes with grilled onion, hashbrown (though usually not very much, if any--my only complaint), and scrambled eggs on a flour of wheat tortilla. I also enjoy their TMJ Signature BF breakfast sandwich. It has avocado, sausage bacon, spinach, fried eggs, pepper jack cheese, mayo, and chipotle gourmaise on a panini croissant. Be warned, the chipotle gourmaise is a bit spicy! My favorite sandwich is their TMJ Fan Club (I'm a fan!). It comes with Ovengold turkey, avocado, crispy bacon (the best), provolone cheese, lettuce, spinach, tomato, onion, pickles, mayo, and honey mustard (though I have them leave out the mustard). It's a really loaded sandwich and definitely filling! Veggies are always fresh and crisp too!

Ordered a coffee and apple fritter donut. The coffee was ok but, the apple fritter was absolutely amazing. Wow. I'm going back for the baked goods again.

Love this mom and pop donut and sandwich shop!! Conveniently located on a major street corner (182nd/Western) for easy access. Their donuts never miss - light and airy for the raised ones, dense and satisfying for the cake ones. Their full sandwich menu is available any time, and I've gotta say there's something particularly satisfying about putting down an entire roast beef sandwich at 6am. Super friendly service and great food...can't ask for much else!
