i love going here with my boyfriend, it’s our special donut shop & the lady is always a saint. she knows our order because we come here so often. the food, the donuts, the drinks, everything is so delicious and always top quality. she always greets us with a warm welcome. any bad review from this place was definitely just some unhappy fatty! I will never switch donut shops & believe me ive tried many different places! thank you to the couple who run this place, they truly make it feel like they love their job.

So a guy walks in early one Sunday morning to get a cup of coffee and...which I was that guy and I was trying to set the scene for what seemed as the lousiest service I've gotten from this donut shop since I've been going here...so this is kind of my off-and-on place as I usually go once every one or two years as I guess I haven't learned my lesson yet from this place...but I guess it turns out that it is kind of hard to make a pot of coffee as the lady that was there wouldn't make a pot of decaf for me as I requested...mind you, the store had just opened and she was kind of busy making sandwiches and was wearing gloves at the time and might have thought it a little hard as to how to take them off, make the pot of coffee, and then put the gloves back on...gone are the days I guess when the customer was always right and usually got what he wanted...but maybe when I go back in a year or so, it might not be so hard then to get a cup of coffee and the employees work ethics and customer service will have improved...

The donuts are very fresh tasting here and the dough they use is chewy goodness. The ham & cheese croissants are pretty good but not the best I've had. They also sell Lottery tickets here.

I grew up going here. I was hardly disappointed. The croissant sandwiches and iced teas are nice. They have a variety of things, such as cream cheese bagels, coffee, and donuts. Those are just a few c:The owners are nice :D
This place is a great neighborhood spot. They make a hot dog in a bun.....best thing in walking distance

I've been coming to this particular donut shop on and off for a few months now whenever I wanted to buy some donuts for the office at work and I can safely say that their donuts are about as legit as any other Asian-owned donut shop. It's cash only so do stop by the 7-Eleven that is in the same plaza to grab some cash. They do have an ATM machine inside though. I believe their 1 dozen donuts is basically $1 per donut. Add in tax and it'll cost you about $12 and some change. Round it up, and it's about $13 altogether to be safe. The first time that I was here, I ordered 3 dozen donuts and the lady owner threw in an extra two donuts. The second time around, I bought 2 dozen donuts and that time, she threw in some donut holes. Basically, glazed donuts holes, that is. Pretty neat, all things considered. Not sure if that's customary and to be expected but I'll take free extra donuts or donut holes. It bears noting that I let the lady owner (I think?) decide which donuts to include so I'd imagine that she chooses those donuts that don't sell well or have been sitting but hey, donuts are donuts. Even if they've been sitting, they still frickin' taste like donuts. Enough said. One reviewer noted that the lady never smiles to black customers. Mmm...you have to keep in that this is an Asian-owned donut shop. Typically, Asian-owned shops don't really show much of that familiar 'American-styled' customer service. Except maybe to her most loyal of customers that visits the spot everyday for their breakfast meal. I can reliably vouch that she never smiled at me either but hey, I'm Asian--a super tall one at that--so I don't personally care if she smiles or not. You want smiley service, go to Krispy Kreme, Yum Yum Donuts, or some other American donut chain. This is a mom and pop donut shop for crying out loud! It's a small shop. No more than maybe ten tiny tables and chairs inside. You can certainly dine in for your breakfast meal, which some of the regulars do but I think it's more of a grab-n-go spot, if anything. Another reviewer mentioned something about 24/7 service at the side window. I'm not sure where that reviewer got that information from because that wasn't found anywhere on the internet when I looked it up. And if there was a sign stating as much at their shop, I suspect that the sign was a remnant of the previous tenant that also happened to have been a restaurant of sorts. For those that don't know, Champion Donuts wasn't always at that spot. They are the most recent tenants for that retail space. Before that, it was a Mexican dine-in restaurant that specialized in fish and seafood or something like that. They didn't survive. Before that, it was another Mexican restaurant that also didn't survive. And before that, it was a shitty donut shop that I'm not too surprised that they, too, didn't survive--mostly because they kept messing up simple orders. It's like how do you mess up stuff like 1 dozen donuts? Just count 1 through 12 and you got a dozen but without fail, they always messed it up. If memory serves me correctly, I think it was a donut chain that just wasn't making the cut so they decided to shuttle that specific location. Anyway, Champion Donuts is the best no-frills donut shop in this part of Lincoln Heights. If you want tasty 'basic' donuts, this is it. All in all, I recommend this spot, if you're craving donuts. They do serve breakfast meals and make Thai Tea and Smoothie beverages so do note that when you stop by. And they also sell lottery tickets as well, which is, well, stereotypical but hey, if it works, it works.
They sometimes don't have donut holes
