I had a lovely experience at The Good Donut (El Monte). I ordered the Glazed Donut ($2). It's BIG! This fresh, fluffy, & sweet donut is slightly thicker than others. I had to stretch my mouth wide to just bite. YUM!! (IMPORTANT!!! The added Card Fee is $1! Bring Cash to avoid extra charge.) I arrived at The Good Donut (El Monte) on Tuesday (around 6:03AM). Parking is easy. There's a medium size lot. Staff is very honest & very friendly. Staff happily welcomed me and wished me farewell. Staff easily uses words like "-my friend" and Staff makes polite talk seamlessly. Staff works hard. On ambiance, the location is comfortable. There's several tables, and there's a TV. However, this location is mostly an order-and-leave spot. There were many customers that rush in, order, and leave. It's a very popular donut shop in the community! The location is also well-ventilated and clean. Overall, The Good Donut (El Monte) is a WONDERFUL donut shop. There's integrity and hard work in those tasty goods. I happily recommend. 4.9 out of 5 read more

I've been going here since I was in elementary school and the ladies and their son are super nice and lovely. I love their #10- ham & cheese croissant sandwich, thry also offer it with jalapeños & avocado (+$1). Ample seating and parking can be tricky if the plaza is busy. read more

We got hungry after our car wash, and we were craving for breakfast sandwich. We found this place with good reviews on Yelp. I order an apple fritter doughnut, ham, egg, and cheese, croissant, and an iced coffee. The apple fritter doughnut is very crispy, which I like that a lot. It was not overly sweet, and I can still taste a little bit of apple flavor. The ham, egg, and cheese croissant was bomb! The croissant was very fluffy and fresh. The sandwich itself is perfect on a Sunday morning when you do not want to make breakfast. The iced coffee was not too strong. It will be perfect if it is little stronger. There is a small parking lot available for parking. Street parking is also available. Price is reasonable. The owner of the shop is very friendly and intensive. The store is very clean. I'll come back for sure. read more

I ordered 3 dozen donuts: half glazed-half chocolate, all glazed, and mixed. When I got there, I was greeted by a nice lady. She rang me up and I was out the door within a few minutes. My son's classmates ate all 3 dozen of the donuts. Everything came out to be $60. They did charge extra $1.50 for debit card transactions. Would come back if we decide to get more donuts in the future. read more

Just tried this place for the first time today. It happened that our soccer group needed a large order. Called super early in the morning and they were able to accommodate a large order. We were happy with how the portion size for the donuts were. We were happy that everything was fresh and delicious. It wasn't super sweet and the staff was amazing. We love supporting small family businesses. We will definitely be buying from them for our next event. I hope everyone gives them a chance and supports a local family business. read more

This has been one of my number one go-to spots for a few years, and the quality is always top-notch! The service is truly outstanding, the ladies that work here have the biggest hearts and the greatest sense of humor! ​If you go, you absolutely have to try the Bear Claw, it is simply amazing! The dough is perfectly tender, the filling is sweet and generous, and it's easily one of the best I've ever had. ​I paired it with the Hot Cocoa, which was wonderfully delicious. It's the perfect warm, chocolatey drink to balance the pastry. A fantastic local spot! read more

Probably one of my favorite donut places in SGV. The donuts were crisp on the outside, soft on the inside. The owners are always smiling and greeting guests; I always feel welcome visiting their store. It is also tidy, clean, and I often see customers who seem content spending time there as well. I haven't been back in a while since moving jobs but I was never disappointed in my returns. read more

Overpriced donuts. I hate saying it but the amount they charge for their is ridiculous. The sizes also went down for their normal donuts. Very sweet customer service but they've messed up multiple times when I've asked for a jelly filled. Sometimes I question the cleanliness not because the women aren't clean but they have a young boy working their (family) and he has sneezed without going and washing hands also doesn't really run the prices right. He's too young . Also the freshness has gone down. There are two donut shops on valley 4 minutes away that seem to be a bit more fresh and cheaper It's my 4th time being very disappointed with this shop as I live so close but I had to review this time due to my shock at almost $5 for two donuts and the wrong filling AGAIN read more

They should change the name to the great donut! I walk in and am greeted with the kindness smile from the woman working who I think might be the owner she was so kind to me while I was there my food was amazing as was the coffee I definitely recommend! read more

The Good Donut - Sausage egg and cheese muffin and a chocolate don't - Donuts Near Me - El Monte, California

Parking: Good Donut is located in a small plaza on the corner of Arden and Lower Azusa. It shares a small parking lot with a couple of other small restaurants so it might get a bit crowded during meal times. Interior: There are a couple tables if you want to eat inside. Service: The woman at the cashier was very nice. She knew it was my first time visiting and gave me a free sample of donuts. There were not many people there so I got my food pretty quickly. Food: I got a ham, egg, and cheese croissant sandwich and a regular chocolate donut. The sandwich was cooked to order and there was the option to add on bacon and avocados. The donut itself was fresh and not very oily. Overall, I had a great experience and will definitely be going back again. read more

LOCATION - Inside of a small plaza where Cha Cafe is. The sign is simple but you can't miss it. Directly across from the Gidley Middle School. FOOD - I ordered their Bacon & Egg Croissant with Avocado and that hit the spot for an early breakfast! The croissant was crispy and warm, while the egg and bacon was cooked just right. The creamy avocado was the perfect addition too. I also ordered a small coffee, which was actually pretty good. You can't go wrong with that bold donut drip coffee. Of course, I also ordered a few donuts. They were fluffy, slightly dense, and sweet enough for my liking. Very good donuts! SERVICE - The two women who greeted us were so friendly and welcoming! For being my first time, they made me feel like a regular. It was so warming to interact with them. They were helpful in every way and even gave us a free donut on the house! Amazing service. Happily coming back here! read more

It is a rare pleasure to find something new where you've looked before so many times. When that "something" is a donut shop... and the "where" in question is close to your doorstep, it's just that much sweeter. Two mornings in a row, we hosted a Pinewood derby workshop for our Cub Scouts, Girl Scouts, and families. I called the day before to make two separate coffee orders from Barstuck's (travelers of Pike) and several dozen donuts from a different donut shop. Imagine my joy when I showed up to have Barstuck's tell me, "oh, someone came in with your name and took your travelers" (yeah right)... then after waiting for them to "re-make" my coffee, I went to the other donut shop and they looked at me like I was made of cheese--- NO DONUTS READY. In a small panic... and with dozens of kids and their families arriving shortly... I pulled up the trusty Yelp app, and found THE GOOD DONUT, just a couple blocks south of my house. I called ahead and asked if they could have three dozen donuts ready in ten minutes. The absolute sweetheart on the phone said no problem, and I put the hammer down in the truck to get there in five. When I arrived, the store was full of people at tables, enjoying coffee and donuts. The case featured many fresh looking donuts. Signs featured the usual boba drinks, sandwiches, and other accoutrements of the local donut shop. What set this place apart was the sheer joy of the storekeepers. They welcomed me in, never stopped smiling, and had everything ready. Other patrons were greeted and fared well by name-- probably regulars, but just a cool small-town vibe on busy Lower Azusa. The young lady who helped ring me up threw in two bags of donut holes for good measure... always a really nice gesture. As I left, she proffered a beautiful smile and said, "Come back tomorrow." So I did. Considering the stink-eye I've gotten from other donut shop staff in the past at other locations, I think I found my new donut shop and will recommend others come here too. I didn't get to eat any of the donuts (you know, ketosis tends to slow down when you consume sugar-coated fried dough) but everyone scarfed them up and said they were really good. read more

The Good Donut - Donuts... is there anything they can't do? - Donuts Near Me - El Monte, California

5 stars for fresh donuts and local friendliness. Reasonable prices, fresh made donuts and pastries every morning- though they often sell out by the afternoon so come early!! My current favorites are the apple fritter and apple-filled paw/foot (?) donut as well as the plain glazed. Come for one or for a dozen. As other reviewers have noted, there's a couple super friendly and funny ladies (hi Wendy and Kim!!) that work here- they are a treat just by themselves. read more

Biggest maple and twisted bars I've ever seen. If you got a sweet tooth for a donut this is the spot for you. It's a distance away but worth the drive with your loved ones. Make a fun road trip out of it. Sits in front batting cages which I thought is cool though i personally haven't been. Check it out for yourself though. read more

Its National Donut day and I just happened to stumble upon this cute little shop on my way to work. To say the staff is nice is an understatement. The ladies were so welcoming I felt like I was a long time regular customer, like I was family. They asked what I liked and if there's was any preferences I had. They even snuck an extra donut in my dozen. They asked how my day was going and were attentive to customers sitting enjoying their coffee. The donuts were AMAZINGLY YUMMY!!! They were crispy yet soft and light. Would definitely recommend this wonderful gem!!! I will be visiting again soon!!! read more

Definitely appears to be a hole-in-the-wall joint. I believe they close when they sell out, as I've shown up later in the day and they've been closed, even though it was before their listed closing hour. The donuts here are fresh and cheap. I also distinctly remember the kindness of the woman who was working the counter that day, but I don't necessarily remember what it was. Perhaps it was because she had given the donuts to us cheaper than they originally were because it was later in the day when they weren't as fresh? With how cheap the place is already, it almost felt as if I was stealing from them! I would definitely check out this shop if you have a donut craving such as I do. Even though they may not be the most gourmet donuts in the world, they definitely hit the spot. read more

Update your hours! Drove 20 minutes to come here and you're closed... waste of time! Huge disappointment

Not all donut shops are created equal. To be honest, ive run into more rude owners than nice. The woman running the shop was so sweet and they treated me like a regular. The donuts were fresh, and the ice coffee was delicious. Will come back whenever I want a bite to eat. read more

As you walk inside, you are immediately greeted by the two sweetest ladies. They are friendly, kind, and always joyful. These ladies produce a feeling of homeliness and warm each time. The donuts are fresh and plentiful. I always walk out with a dozen donuts and a free one. They had heart-shaped donuts on Valentine's Day which was fun. The shop is bright and clean. There are a few small tables for dine in customers. I'm usually in and out within a few minutes after purchasing goodies for my monkeys especially on days when I don't have time to dish out breakfast. read more

What happened? They are still closed. Does anybody know why. I miss them. It's always been the best donut place around.

This place is seriously the best. I felt sad and angry at an unrelated thing today and the ladies here were super nice to me. This remains my favorite donut shop because it's very clear how much they care about the mental health of their customers, she gave me a free donut with my sandwich as a kindness and I appreciate her a lot for that.
