Hii here's a review from someone who's been a customer since they were 10. I'm going to college…read morenow, and here's what I have to say and my personal recommendations to get if you're new: You can tell a lot about a store from its regulars and I can firmly say that this place is very well-loved by the community. It's a family-owned business and it's also one of the only shops that open around 5am, so you'll see a lot of early workers getting their coffee there. Their items cost around $2-6 and I've never really spent over $20 even if I'm buying drinks for my entire family (4 people). My personal recommendations from the drink menu are the Thai tea blend and strawberry banana smoothie. Those are the freshest and most flavorful from the menu that I've tried (and I've tried a couple over the years). Their boba is always nice and chewy and their smoothies are always perfectly blended. From what I've seen, the owners seem to use powders to flavor a lot of their drinks but sometimes it can leave a kind of aftertaste that I'm not really fond of (but also I've always been really picky so if you're not picky about stuff like that, you won't mind). Also keep in mind that they aren't franchised or anything, so of course they buy all of their ingredients. I personally love their drinks for what they cost (around $5.25 depending on what you get). I always get a small from them and it's a little bigger than a grande from Starbucks. Lasts me half the day. My favorite sandwich to get from them is number 15 (avocado, tomato, and cream cheese bagel) with an add-on of bacon. They cook their bacon nice and crispy and the sandwich always ends up tasting bomb af. Idk what magic they do back there but it always hits. I also really like their egg, cheese, & bacon croissant sandwich. I'm really bad at naming pastries but I've also circled my favorites from them down below. They bake it themselves and if you come early in the morning like I do sometimes, they taste really warm & fresh! I love their apple fritters. Changes over the years & ownership: As you can see from the reviews below, there's been a change in ownership. I personally don't think the new owners are as bad as the others are saying(?) I've come to the store at different times throughout the day and week and the new owners have never been rude or unprofessional. Of course, I understand why they might be a little off-put by the change in ownership because I myself miss the old owners a little bit (I mean, I've been buying from them since I was in elementary school) but the new owners aren't any less hospitable than the old ones. They've always been nice to me! The store has also gone through some renovations so now they have a big tv menu (really convenient because I've always had bad eye sight) and some other new menu items like matcha ube milk tea (which I haven't tried yet). Also I've never really talked to the owners outside over ordering stuff so this is really coming out of my love for the store. Sometimes the owners would ask me about how school was or how my day was going (I guess because they've seen me around) and that would really brighten my day! The store's like a blocks walk from my house so I go here pretty often. All in all, 10/10 would recommend and would (will) come back for another bagel sandwich.

That's putting me on a mission to find the best donuts in the Valley. I usually go to Mama's Donuts when the craving hits, but since they often sell out early and close at 2 PM, I needed a solid backup. Enter Goldstar Donuts in Van Nuys -- open until 9 PM. The shop looks like your typical, old-school donut spot: nothing fancy, just a straightforward and busy menu. I grabbed my go-to maple bar and an apple fritter around 7 PM. Both were delicious and tasted freshly made -- definitely worth getting again. Next time, I'll stop by earlier to see what other options they have. The total came to $4.75 for both donuts, which is reasonable. The only downside was the service -- I didn't get a thank you or much of a response at all after I paid. So don't come here expecting friendly vibes; come for the fresh, classic donuts.

Sandwiches are low price and filling; If timing works out, I love to get a sandwich for airport snacking, as cold airport sandwiches are pretty expensive along with their other food options. Highly recommend especially if you're on your way to the airport, as they are close by Van Nuys Flyaway parking lot. The corner plaza is pretty run down and has questionable people hanging out, BUT this donut shop is still worth the visit.
