I'm sorry but these donuts suck on early Saturday mornings. For the last few weeks our coworker will bring in donuts from this place, he must be there around 6am or so. ALL those early Saturday donuts from this place are nasty and it's the OIL. The oil tastes rancid. I have never been one to decline or throw away a day old donut but these aren't old and stale, they are rancid tasting and into the trash it goes. Granny's please do better, change your oil. Do something! read more

The absolute BEST cake doughnuts in the Alhambra area. The service is always so personal and the ladies are so sweet. I picked up a mixed dozen and two dozen of doughnut holes. My fave is the cake with chocolate frosting and peanuts. Location is easy to find but a tad of a snag to get in to. Parking at times is cramped but opens up pretty fast. read more

The best donuts by me. No frill donut spot that's clean. Donuts always taste fresh, not like old oil. My favorite is the glaze. The women at the front are always attentive and friendly. I've been coming here the past year and will continue to be a loyal customer. read more

I love small donut shops for this reason. Everytime I come in the women are quick to help and super nice. Their donuts are soooo good, other shops have major competition. I go to school at CalState LA so it's really close by, literally across the street. It's nice to have good food options so close to the school. Everything is fresh and they sell out on some donuts pretty fast. read more

We also tried a donut which was great as usual! The service was friendly and our sandwich was prepared quickly There is seating inside but we have always gotten our food to go.

As much as I love those $3-$4 "artisanal" donuts that are popping up all over LA, I still love good old-fashioned pink box donuts that have been made from the same recipe for decades. Granny's cake donuts are some of the best I have ever had! I just ate one this morning. It was small and slightly crispy on the outside but perfectly light on the inside. I am not sure how much a single donut costs here, but I bought 4 dozen and 1 croissant and my total was $39, so I am guessing a dozen donuts costs around $9. Service is fast and super friendly! read more

I've been craving donuts for a solid week. I didn't want a $5 overpriced and overly complicated donut. No. I wanted a simple but tasty donut. My brothers directed me to Granny's Donuts and I am so glad they did. We ordered a dozen donuts plus a few extras and some Thai teas (apparently the Thai teas are fireeee.) I loved the donuts. My personal fave is the simple glazed twist or round donut. We dropped by around 5 pm and there were still tons of donuts on display. I was scenically of afternoon donuts but they seriously tasted so good and I could tell they were not hot out of the kitchen. They have alllll the different kinds of classic donuts you could want. Maple bars, old fashion, glazed, powdered, jelly/custard-filled, Apple fritters, bear claws, and so on. The Thai teas were also not bad! I'd recommend if yo my have some too for more sweets after your donut. I am so happy my brothers tipped me off about Granny's Donuts. It's not overly popular right now, but I have a feeling it's going to blow up. read more

This is an unassuming place near CSULA. After reading all the rave reviews, I decided to stop here to pick up some donuts for a meeting I had today. I also ordered an apple fritter for myself. The apple fritter was surprisingly fresh. It was noticeably better than the apple fritter sold at Starbucks. Granny's Donuts isn't much of at all in presentation. It's far from being hip and trendy. The shop shows wear and tear with dated decor. The glass display can use some cleaning. But the qualify and taste of its donuts are blameless. read more

I stumbled across their Yelp page when I was visiting from out of town and checked the Instagram for their hours on a Saturday afternoon and was happy to see they were open!

The pop-up is easy to find, it's outside facing into the parking lot, and they had a cute A-frame sign out by the street side. There was no line, and I ordered and sat down at one of the tables out front. The service was so warm, and I believe the shop is owned and operated by one man on his own! He was an absolute delight to meet, and he brought my matcha latte to me at the table when it was prepared. He suggested I get the cream top on it, and boy was that the perfect recommendation. I would say I'm a little bit of a matcha fiend... I think I got a matcha latte at 3 different places this day... and this one far surpassed the others. I think it was one of the best matcha lattes I have ever drank to-date. It was perfectly green, the matcha quality was phenomenal, both taste and look-wise. The texture was just right, perfectly creamy with barely any grittiness. The cream top only added to the drink, and didn't take away from the matcha flavor at all, which I feel like has happened at other places for me. I'm dreaming of this matcha latte days later, and need to go back to Kokoro No Coffee as soon as I am in town again. This was a spectacular find, and I hope this spot gets all the love it deserves!

You can really taste the quality in every sip, and it's clear they take their sourcing and preparation seriously. The minimalistic interior is also a plus for this location.

I decided to try something new and went for the Chocolate Forest Matcha... absolutely divine. Rich, earthy, slightly sweet, and so beautifully balanced. What surprised me most is how different the inside feels compared to the outside. From the street, it looks a little gahtto and unassuming, but the moment you step in, it's a completely different world -- cozy, bright, warm, and welcoming. It's the kind of space that makes you want to stay longer than you planned. Damo continues to be one of those rare spots where the drinks are memorable and the atmosphere feels like a little hidden gem.

Community Goods

Incredible Matcha in all of USA. Heard a lot of hype about community goods on social media, but…read morehonestly wasn't expecting much. However, for once the rumors were true. This place makes the best Matcha latte! Tried the regular Matcha with almond milk, which was spectacular. The Matcha Einspanner with sweet cream was also phenomenal. The sweet cream has a slight corn flavor to it, which is absolutely incredible. Highly recommend both for all matcha lovers. Depending on how much sweetness you prefer. Also,m for light bites, the pistachio toast was absolutely splendid. Also tried their famous breakfast sliders were just mediocre in my opinion. Personally, I do not like the Hawaiian rolls due to a slight sweetness in their bun which may have been reason for my lower rating when it comes to this order. Overall, a great Matcha house that I'll continue to visit time and time again. Always a line so make sure you give yourself at least 45 minutes

Community Goods is definitely one of those trendy spots that's a little overhyped but I have to…read moreadmit... the matcha is really good. It has a nice, smooth flavor without being too sweet and it's worth trying if you're a matcha lover. The downside is the line. It can get pretty long and you'll probably have to wait a while just to get your drink. Thankfully, the quality of the matcha made up for the wait in my opinion.

Hojicha Duo - Awful. Did not taste like hojicha at all and moreso like chocolate. Chestnut Latte - Drink was good, enjoyed this one. Service 4/5 Standard, nothing special. Ambiance 2/5 Small space inside full of customers. The accumulation of people waiting for their drinks is claustrophobic and there's nowhere to really properly stand without being a roadblock to others since all the seats are taken. It's also kinda dirty across the floors and tables, not sure if there's a lack of consistent upkeep throughout the day. Also, the thermal photobooth was not working with no out of order signage.

The service was fast but not rushed. Immediately about to sit and put my bags down the server already dropped a menu off and a glass pitcher of water. The menu was pretty extensive but I went with the tuna melt and BOY it did NOT disappoint. The tuna melt was incredible. The flavor was on point, pretty hardy. I got the choice between fries or fruit and got the fruit. I don't think the sandwich took more than 10 minutes to get out. Fresh and hot. Had two cups of coffee, kind of wish I got something from the baristas- the drinks looked fantastic. 10/10 would go back.

It's become one of our go-to breakfast spots. My usual order is the pancakes, bacon, and eggs. The pancakes are big, fluffy, and definitely filling. My favorites are the chocolate chip pancakes and the banana pancakes. One of my friends always orders the shrimp and grits, and on our most recent visit another friend tried the shrimp omelet and really enjoyed it. They also have mimosas, which are a nice treat after a long shift. The staff is always friendly, and despite how busy it can get, the service has been consistently good. The restaurant can get pretty crowded, but since we're usually getting off work, we arrive around 8 a.m. and don't have much trouble getting seated. The only downside for me is the pricing. Breakfast here isn't cheap, but I will say that I always leave full and satisfied, so the portions definitely help justify the cost. Overall, if you're looking for a solid breakfast spot with generous portions, good food, friendly staff, and a lively atmosphere, I'd definitely recommend giving this place a try.

Totally doable for a group, just expect it to be a bit tight. For parking, there's limited valet only spots in front of the shop, but you can also park further away for free.
