Gotta love a local donut shop. Steve's has sandwiches, burgers, boba, donuts and other sweet baked goods! Stopped to satisfy a quick donut fix and was not disappointed. Person behind the counter was friendly and service was quick. I was happy to see they still had a nice selection of donuts even though it was a little later in the morning. I got a sprinkle donut and glazed twist. One thing about the donuts here is that they are BIG! The cinnamon roll in the case was as big as my head. The sprinkle donut was good, but the glazed twist stole the show. So soft, sweet and fluffy on the inside. Perfecto! It also makes my heart sing when they throw a couple extra donut holes in there. Such a *sweet* thing to do! For two donuts, it was $3. They have an extra charge if you use a card so I recommend bringing cash. There is also some seating inside if you want to eat there!

Chocolate Twist

I've driven by Steve's Donuts Cafe FOREVER and I've never stopped inside til today and boy was it a treat. They have way more than just donuts. They have boba, sandwiches, drinks, snacks and more. They had my favorite donut, the chocolate twist. I got two donuts and it was only $3. What a steal! And every donut came with a free mini donut hole which was a fun treat. Definitely will be back next time I am in the neighborhood!

Great local doughnut shop with amazing croissant sandwiches, hamburgers with fries and freshly made pastries. They also have a nice drink selection like Snapple, milk, hot cocoa and coffees. I got the ham and cheese croissant sandwich and it was fantastic! Only around $5 plus tax. The parking can be crowded though, but amazing service.

Don't underestimate the simple packaging, these fresh juices are delicious.

Love this place! Friendly neighborhood service with friendly neighborhood prices to match. Can't go wrong with any of the donuts or breakfast sandwiches but my favorite item? Ironically... the freshly squeezed juices! Always overlooked them as the packaging isn't so attractive but now I'm hooked. They're made fresh every morning and make me feel like I'm at a local farmers market.

Is the best donuts in LA! Steve the owner is awesome friendly and usually gives you donut holes with whatever you buy.

My neighborhood donut shop. Good coffee, especially if you are a fan of a good old-fashioned cup of joe. The prices here are reasonable, and the service is friendly. It can be crowded in the morning. In addition to donuts and coffee, they also offer sandwiches, juices, and a full selection of soft-drinks. You can get a quick breakfast or lunch here in a pinch. Also they'll usually throw in a few donut holes for free... that's a nice touch! The only reason they don't get 4 stars from me is that they charge a fee for credit cards. They used to be cash only, so I've always been in the habit of coming here only when I have cash. However if they were to get rid of the extra charge for cards I'd probably come here more often.

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.

They have an indoor and outdoor seating and the place is super cute and very clean, chill and you get what you pay for. I got a dozen donuts from them and tried one on my way home and it was just decadent, fresh, fluffy and the frosting isn't overly sweet. Has parking and a restroom for their customers!

The service was especially warm, kind, and attentive, which we genuinely appreciated and made the experience feel welcoming. With so many glowing reviews, we'd absolutely be happy to come back to try the donuts and see what everyone is raving about. Hoping to have an even better experience next time

It was uncomfortable to see, and it prompted me to leave this review. Good variety doesn't make up for bad service. I wouldn't recommend this place if you're expecting to feel welcomed.

The mother always treats me like her son and tells me that I need to eat more because I'm too skinny and slips in a couple donut holes in my bag free of charge and gives me a wink. This is the true definition of neighborly love and hometown goodness. They have a vast range of donuts and don't sleep on their bagels. If you ask, they'll make you an awesome breakfast sandwich fully customizable. I'm an everything bagel toasted twice with ham, egg and onion. Also another recommendation would be any of their bear claws and turnovers (puff pastry with jam filling). Added plus are the hours, I'm an early bird type so getting a breakfast sandwich at 4:00 am while being greeted with the best smile is a win in my book all day long. The specialty donuts can sell out so if you're a maple bacon type person show up before noon. They have plenty of drink options as well. From juices to healthy drinks and energy drinks and coffees. There's table seating if you choose to dine in too. Parking has never been an issue because there's the lot out front and a garage below if the lot is full. I've never had to park down in the garage.

I dislike that I can't trust ppl to not judge me and provide me with terrible service/ food and I say this because I am wondering if maybe the fact that I had on my husbands baggy clothes I might have given off an appearance that I deserved to be served eggs that were grey in the middle. To be honest I dislike receiving this type of service from a group of women that seem to pride themselves on their looks. Either way I think a review is warranted so that if for some odd reason I end up here again I get fresh eggs that doesn't make me want to vomit; simply bc I'm a human being spending my hard earned money (over $30). I shouldn't have to be a repeat customer in order to get fresh food.

Being a huge matcha fan, I was all set to order one, but then I spotted a unique drink on the menu called "Fluffy Hojicha." I got curious and asked a staff member what hijocha was. They told me it has a distinct roasted flavor, which really intrigued me. Not knowing what to expect from a roasted tea, I decided to give it a try. The wait for my sister's drink, along with a crème brûlée donut and a strawberry donut, was just a quick 3-5 minutes. The first sip of the Hojicha caught me off guard; it wasn't my favorite right away. But with each sip, I started to appreciate and eventually really enjoy the unique roasted flavor of the tea. The crème brûlée donut was a lovely addition - just the right amount of sweetness without being too much. ELNO is located in a building with other small vendors, and there's a seating area that fits only two to three people. I found parking easily since I went on a weekday around 4 PM. My sister mentioned that on weekends, parking is a real hassle. It's definitely worth stopping by if you're in the neighborhood.
