    Donuts
    Amanda M.

    The best donut shop in the SGV! Their donuts are always fresh and fluffy, and baked better than any other local spots we've tried. Have tried 10 different donuts from here, all were delicious! The service is always pleasant too, and it's never an issue to find a spot in the parking lot

    What to do when you wake up hungry in Pasadena on a Sunday at 11 - don't judge! - and just KNOW everyplace will be filled with brunchers and at least a 45 minute wait to get in? Head to BC Donuts! Morning crowd has come and gone, but delicious, flaky, warm and gooey ham & cheese croissants are served til close. Lovely lady greeted us and got us all set with donuts, mochi donuts, croissant sammies and beverages faster than I could say mimosa. Hubs got a large coffee and was offered milk or half n half before he stepped to the "fix it" bar and added sugar. I couldn't resist a Thai ice tea which was also as yum as the warm ham n cheese croissants. All donuts were good and satisfying. Shop is small but clean and tidy. Cute Yoda quote on wall, tidy display case and modern menu board all reflect pride of ownership. Already thinking we may do this again tomorrow before going to Huntington Gardens. Cheers! "CC"

    I had a delicious breakfast wrap, it had eggs, bacon and hash browns! The vanilla latte was amazing and those donuts are super fresh and tasty. Super friendly staff too :)

    Got myself donuts today for breakfast. I was asked by my team lead to stop bringing donuts and sweets for the team since I brought donuts for my team every single day last week lol haha!! Ok! Anyway, I went here thinking there was going to be ube mochi donuts (since I saw pics of it on Yelp). They said they ran out (for real... at 6am? Lol). I ended up getting a strawberry mochi donut, biscuit crumb mochi donut, raspberry puff pastry, and a waffle looking pastry thing. Yes, I ate all 4 by myself, lol! All four were very good!! I can eat donuts everyday! I especially liked the mochi donuts. They were super fresh and perfectly textured w that chewy elasticity rice flour is supposed have. The raspberry puff was super flaky and very buttery. The waffle looking thing was good, but a bit sweet for my liking. Definitely coming back for the mochi donuts, those were super yummy!!

    Iced Matcha Latte & BC Iced Coffee

    Early morning craving matcha and decided to walk over to BC's to try their matcha! Ordered 1 mochi biscoff donut, 1 old fashioned, 1 iced coffee, and 1 iced matcha latte for $16. We accidentally received a glazed donut instead of a plain but before we even noticed, the staff was quick to realize and gave us the plain as well! The donuts were delicious as always! We didn't see any reviews on the iced matcha latte but we were nicely surprised with the creaminess of it!! The matcha is not chalky at all and the color is very deep. Definitely recommend trying BC's matcha if you love family businesses and matcha! Also BC's iced coffee is our go-to iced drink of choice :)

    I will be honest I always passed by this donut shop and never tried it. I read the reviews and it seemed good. I order two donuts and 1 regular coffee. I don't see the hype, it's okay. Coffee is super watery, nothing strong. Donuts are mediocre. Customer service was welcoming. Her donuts are very tiny also.

    The BEST donuts in town! The utter comfort of a pink box of donuts is magical and who can resist that with a nice cup of espresso! The staff are beyond great, always with a smile! We have been visiting BC's Donuts for almost a decade now and simply cannot find another donuts/sandwich shop half as good. It was refreshing to see matcha and espresso on the menu. Sandwiches are great value at this shop, each sandwich is two meals for me. Parking can be challenging, depending on the time of visit; I usually parking on the street for a few minutes and it always work out for me.

    Assortment of Donuts

    There are few things more comforting in this world than having a trusty, friendly donut shop in your area. BC's is that place for many folks on the east side of Pasadena and dropping by to pick up a box of donuts from the always smiling staff is like having that Xmas morning vibe set on Groundhog's Day rewind. They make a huge selection of traditional donuts and just do it well. In a world where everyone is trying to create the next Frankenstein combination of French pastries, I continue to honor the old fashioned buttermilk glaze as the greatest donut of all time. So get to BC's and have them pack you a pink box full of delectable fried dough and you too will be transported back to your days of youth when you were the first one to lift the lid and take a bite out of each one before anyone noticed.

    They give us extra donuts! So nice

    The cinnamon roll tastes greasy, is smaller than other places, and is the most expensive in the area among independent donut shops.

    $18 for 2 nasty boba milk teas that we ended up trashing. The "tea" tasted like watered down milk…read more The boba was only okay. We tried to force them down, but we just didn't think it was worth it. It was honestly the worst milk tea I've ever had. The owner and only person at the counter was extremely off putting. He asked us right when we walked in if we speak Chinese. When my friend said she did, he would not stop talking to her in Cantonese. She informed him that I did not speak Chinese, to which, he started interrogating me about where my parents are from in English. He then only spoke to my friend in Cantonese for the excruciating amount of time we spent there. He insisted that the boba milk tea was the best drink there and kept talking to my friend even when she asked for some time to look at the menu. It felt like he was rushing us to pick something, so we tried to enter it in quickly. He made us feel super uncomfortable. We could not wait to get out of there. The monitor used to place orders on was really confusing. It did not help that we were trying to rush. The man explained it to my friend in Cantonese, so she ordered hers correctly. I couldn't understand him though, so I guess I did it wrong. It had all the milk teas in one listing. I didn't realize that I had to select the type of milk tea when I clicked on this option. We didn't realize that the computer did not charge us correctly. We did not have a receipt, but my friend's phone showed that she got charged $11 ($7 for her own drink + $1 boba for her + $1 boba for me + $2 for tax and tip). Since 2 drinks ordinarily come out to about that much, we thought the second drink was included in the pricing and it just didn't print correctly on the order receipt that goes to the bar. When the owner came up to us to tell us that the receipt only showed boba for the second drink, we were confused but went back to the computer to look. He said that we were supposed to select which milk tea specifically. After my friend clarified that it was just the regular milk tea, we checked her phone and saw the $11 charge. We left thinking that was the total for 2 drinks. This man found us across the street and to tell us that we still needed to pay $7 more. I handed that to him in cash and he left. For clarification, I am not upset about having to pay the $7 that he was due for our order. I am simply stating that the ordering system could be improved to avoid mishaps like this from happening again. I also want to note that I think $7 for the drink + $1 for the boba is not worth purchasing here for the sole fact that it is not tasty. There's also just a little bit of street parking outside. The inside was a little dark with a lot of mismatched furniture and random products available for sale. Update: In response to this review, the owner has sent me unprofessional messages. I won't be coming here again and highly suggest that you don't either.

I got it half sweet and could barely taste any pandan at all, and the espresso just wasn't really my favorite. Not terrible, just not something I'd go out of my way for. My husband liked it more than I did. Service was friendly and fast, and there's also a self serve kiosk by the entrance if you want to order quickly. The cafe itself is small with only a few tables, but it feels like a nice little spot to sit, chat, or get some work done for a bit.

Conveniently located on the southeast side of Union and Lake too.

Looking forward to coming back and trying their other drinks!
