    Haven't had my donut fix in about 48 hours, so I'm feeling weak again and need to replenish my batteries lol! I decided to look for a donut shop near me and found KC Donuts. So yummy!! I got a raised sugar donut and a strawberry jelly donut. It was so soft and so fresh!! They also have sandwiches, smoothies, and fruit juices. I really, really love the prices here!! $4.50 for a smoothie is a steal!! Smoothie prices back home are at least $6. I've yet to try their smoothies but I know it'll be good and well worth it.

    Number of choices hot or cold drinks and sandwiches

    I was washing my clothes near by and decided I wanted breakfast sandwich. I seen this spot number of times and always seeing ppl going in and out. I said what hell let's give it a try ‍. The owners super nice all the customers look happy getting donuts, coffee, or breakfast. I have to say for $13 wow my sandwich and ice caramel coffee is great. Definitely will come back and worth every penny plus I love helping small business.

    One morning on my way to work, I had the biggest craving for a ham and cheese croissant. I looked up the closest place and ended up at KC Donuts. I ordered the ham and cheese croissant and got it heated up. The smell of the croissant was unbearable during my commute, so I started munching on it. It was delicious! The way they made it was light and airy, very enjoyable. Also, the girl who helped me out gave me a couple of donut holes, and they were also very good and fresh--not heavy like at other places. I'll definitely be stopping by again!

    My boyfriend and I were craving donuts/breakfast sandwiches then found KC Donuts on Yelp. After our first time going, it became a staple for us to go on the weekends. They have such great quality donuts/sandwiches. I've even brought some donuts to work and my coworkers said it's one of the best they have ever tried. The staff there is so sweet and very generous. Highly recommend!

    Best donuts in San Gabriel! Glazed donut and also get a juice! I like carrot or orange! But they have an assortment in many! You can also get a great sandwich here! Love this place! This is my doughnut spot!

    rasberry donut

    Moved into the neighborood during the pandemic when everything was closed so I somehow forgot there's a donut shop that opens at dawn within walking distance. I went in with low hopes at 6AM and was surprised to see 5 people in there having donuts and coffee, a gleaming space that smelled like fresh coffee and yummy baked things. The rasberry donut I got has to be one of the best donuts I have eaten. It was warm and doughy with a fresh fruity tart filling and the coffee was fresh brewed and strong. The guy who works here is also super nice. The place is clean, and feels like a local spot that isn't a chain, which is great. This was no chain store donut! Support KC Donuts in San Gabriel...also perfect for people who wake up early and want something delicious. People rave about Uncle Joe's which is also great but I liked this donut even more.

    Assorted donuts minus a couple already in my tummy

    Super sweet, generous, communicative, and fast staff. Donuts were all really fluffy, light, and delicious. Will def be back. Mochi donuts available weekend only. Devoured the biscoff mochi donut as soon as I left the store hehe

    Sandwich menu

    I love coming to KC donuts for eveyrthing. The donuts , sandwiches, thai tea, smoothies and juices. It is my go to whenever I want to pick up some donuts for everyone at work. if you get it by the dozen, they can mix the donuts for you. or you can pick your own. The glazed donut or donuts holes are always a go for me. But I mainly come for lunch for the sandwiches and thai tea! They are very delicious and prices are very affordable. You can have many deli meat to choose from and I usually go with Turkey or Tuna. For the bread choice, you can choose crossaint, wheat. white toast, bagels or rolls. I believe they have expanded their menu during COVID, now they're also serving breakfast sandwiches. JUST TAKE MY MONEY! LOL The shop is a family owned and everyone is very friendly. Service is always fast and they always try to remember you. I'm greeted with a smile and "thank you". It does give you a genuine vibe whenever I stop by.

There's a 50 Cent added fee for card payments; however, Staff also mentioned that card required a $25 payment minimum. Compared to other donut spots, that's ridiculously high.) I arrived on a weekday (around 7:40PM). Parking is simple. There's an available parking lot out front. Staff is very attentive. Staff sits next to the door by the counter, so Staff quickly pops up when a customer arrives. Staff is professional and efficient. On ambiance, Alhambra Donuts is fairly clean. There's also a few tables, but a couple were kinda sticky. All in all, it's fairly standard. Overall, I had a very forgettable experience at Alhambra Donuts. The donuts are not the best, but it's also not horrendous. 2.9 out of 5

    tl;dr the unreal pies overshadow the otherwise fine Filipino-ish pastry lineup; they are worth the…read morepretty penny Baking with Ish is the Filipino micro-bakery from Chef Ishnoelle Chin Richardson. What began as a pandemic-time pop-up has since transitioned into a San Gabriel brick-and-mortar. Ish has garnered recognition from Vogue, the LA Times, and Thrillist, particularly for the one-of-a-kind, Filipino-ish pies and eye-catching purple pancakes; now, it's one of the trendiest bakeries in Greater Los Angeles. BWI has a stall in the Blossom Market Hall. Briefly, this premium San Gabriel food hall (opened in a former Masonic lodge) hosts two rooms of fast-casual food and beverages, broadly with a pan-Asian bent. The rainbow mosaic mural in the main room is almost pretty enough to make you forget the weak AC. Chatter from customers overwhelms the pop playlist. BWI just took over a larger stall in the main market space. The red-and-white logo and "menu board" offer a hint into the food lineup -- peek into the all-glass pastry case and pick what sounds good. Sometimes, the pies are in hiding, so don't be afraid to ask if any slices are available. The rotating pastry menu is a crapshoot. But if they're available, you must try one of the ube-infused pies. I loved the Ube Bananoffee Pie. This Filipino spin on bananoffee pie infused ube into its thick layer of dulce de leche, while otherwise executing the other components at a high level. The dynamic array of textures and flavors culminated in one of the region's best desserts, full stop. Meanwhile, the Blue Corn Mochi Pancakes were next level. The springy texture was addictive, and the sweet-and-salty combo of ube flan cream and flaky sea salt was a match made in heaven. Each enormous hotcake boasted the same diameter as one of Ish's full pies, so with two pancakes to an order, you could reasonably satisfy 4 hungry bellies. Other baked goods have been more hit-or-miss. For example, the Ube, Matcha, Black Sesame Bun (somewhere between a cinnamon roll and a sticky bun) paired airy, brioche-esque bread with a matcha-forward paste, but it otherwise felt like it was missing a syrupy sweetness. The service has always been efficient (don't be surprised if Ish himself gives you tips for how to best reheat a treat at home), and the baked goods range from $4 for cookies to $10 for pie slices to $17 for the pancake stack. While not every item has been a hit, the pies are reason alone to visit and pay a premium -- just make sure they're in stock!

    So happy to have randomly stumbled upon this shop! I tried the ube cookie, and it was tasty without…read morebeing overly sweet. What really stood out to me was their sardine chocolate chip cookie, which I believe might be new since I haven't seen any reviews for it yet!

Donuts, drinks, sandwiches were great. Cronuts not so much.. I've been really craving a cronut lately, many donut shops don't make them anymore. And saw that they still make them and only have a limited amount before they sell out everyday. It would be best to call to see if they have any left before making you way there if that is what you're looking for specifically, which I was. The recent photos of their cronuts looked so good from other people and sadly that wasn't what I got when I stopped by on a Friday morning around 9am. They have a list of filling you can choose from. I chose Custard, wasn't too sweet and just as expected. Cronut itself was almost like a sliced white bread texture- not much layers like a croissant, not really flaky or buttery.. Glaze on the outside was very very sweet and too thick it created a crust.

And my Alhambra neighborhood go-to is Mr Good's, a no-frills bakery off Valley that shares a strip mall with an aquarium store and a small-operation law office. The doors open at 5AM daily, as the brusquely efficient elderly owners load trays into the display case and grab your selections with a transactional lack of warmth or courtesy. In the early morning, the bright fluorescent lights feel particularly oppressive. Stainless steel chairs are pushed up against 2 wooden laminate tables, and the remaining counter space is littered with old appliances, pink takeout boxes, and other knick-knacks. The poorly lit donut display is filled only with the most traditional varieties -- the apple fritter and cinnamon roll are the edgiest options. Chinese pop music plays, interrupted intermittently by crackling feedback and newscasts from the tiny flatscreen television behind the counter. A consistent trickle of regulars arrive to dine in and take out during the weekday earlybird service. When I arrived about an hour into opening, I was surprised to find that not all donuts were yet available -- specifically, I was left without any maple or chocolate-frosted options. Instead, I settled on a plain glazed raised donut and an apple fritter. The still-warm ring was anything but "plain", and it sported a pleasantly even, melt-in-your-mouth glaze and an excellently light texture. In contrast, the warm fritter was bogged down by grease and butter; despite occasional apple chunks, the flavor was overwhelmingly cinnamon-y and one-dimensional. My two donuts ran me $3.60, cash only. While I might not get the fritter again, the fresh, plain glazed was an unequivocal winner. I see Mr Good's as an occasional on-the-go joint for those hoping to eschew bland chains, but without the bandwidth to trek out to LA's donut heavyweights.
