    Cream puff
    Magda N.

    Came here for the "cream puff". Well it's more like mini cream donut, not really cream puff. If your day is bitter, you'll probably think the cream isn't sweet enough. If your day is good, you may think the cream is too sweet. We also got the classic sugar glaze & chocolate glaze donuts. They are soft and airy donuts. Nice size too.

    Why do they not have more reviews!? Has no one ever heard of donut cream puffs!! They are large sized donut holes stuffed full of bavarian cream, then rolled in fresh powdered sugar. They are decadent, crave worthy, and only $1 for 3 pieces. Need I say more? The sandwiches and donuts are light and fluffy and delicious as well, but definitely get the puffs. Universal is a lovely mom& pop style, no fuss, donut shop. They open hours before the sun rises and there are still hardworking customers coming in to grab a quick bite before heading to any morning shifts. The owners are sweet and welcoming and keep the eatery extraordinary clean. Definitely recommend if you happen to be in the area

    As soon as you walk in your greeted. Hot coffee and any of their breakfast sandwich's will cure your hunger(or a fresh squeezed oj). If you live in the area or on the 10 fwy craving a snack try this place its pretty good.

    I love this place. They have BOMBASS lattes, they aren't stingy either. They fill it up all the way so you get your moneys worth. They ask if you want it sweet or not too sweet. Normally the old lady does mine so I never know how many pumps but she makes them perfectly good. Overall everyone is super kind and great customer service. The wait is never too long even in their rush hour.

    Turkey egg bacon jalapeño on croissant

    Love their donuts. The workers here are super friendly and helpful. Got a selection of juices and smoothies and Thai tea along with coffee and Vietnamese coffee. Their breakfast sandwiches are a decent size and always fresh. Jalapeños are actually not spicy at all but add a little extra flavor.

    Stopped by this place on the way home after my daughters dentist appointment. I wanted to get her some donut holes and some breakfast. Parking was kind of small and the street is off the 10 freeway so it can get pretty busy with traffic. Got 6 donut holes and the breakfast croissant. The donut holes were good. My daughter enjoyed them but she would like anything sweet. They were nice and fluffy. The croissant was also pretty good. It was nice and full with ham cheese and egg and the jalapeño gave it a nice sour spicy taste. The croissant was flakey and soft. I was thinking of also buying a lotto ticket while I was waiting but when looking around they don't sell any.

    I ate here for the first time today, service is great and very friendly employees. I had the pastrami sandwich on a croissant, it is now one of my favorites. I highly recommend it and the Tai tea.

Perhaps because, yes, it is their literal home (which, of course, has an incredibly relaxing vibe that provides the familiar feeling of visiting a relative or cousin's home, or perhaps dare I say, even "Ahma's" (Grandma's) home). Now to the actual bread and butter: the thoughtfulness of the pairings was next level. But that was somehow topped by the painstaking precision and craftsmanship of Josh and his coffees. He brews them all with not only the utmost accuracy of temperature and ratios, but provides unique and never-before-tasted flavors, with the greatest of passion poured into every drop. I mean, I swear you can taste the actual love he put in there. I highly, HIGHLY recommend this unique experience in the greater Los Angeles area. Ahma is THE BEST!

We were hosted by Josh and Mei, who are both lovely people by the way, and we got to try a beautifully crafted 5 course tasting menu. The coffee pairing with small bites was very very cute and hearing Josh's inspiration behind each ingredient, dish, idea was so special. You can really tell the attention to detail - they provide lactaid when milk is present, there's optional ice cubes for certain drinks, the bathroom is fully stocked with hand towels, lotion, etc. and the space is very beautifully decorated to be warm and inviting. 100% recommend to whoever is planning a date, girls hangout, or if you and your friends just enjoy coffee. The whole experience is about 2 hours, you walk away learning so much, very full of delicious homemade food, and just super happy. There is only 1 gender neutral restroom as ahma is hosted inside a home. Shoes off at the door, they will give you clean indoor slippers. Parking on the street is free and easy.

Workers are always friendly and give great recommendations. I have been here numerous times, and my favorite items have been their lychee tonic (though on the pricier end for $9) and the Fist Bump (small black sesame breve), but I also love their hot flat white, as it has the balance of their strong and smooth espresso flavor with the perfect balance of milk. I have also enjoyed the Cloudy, which has subtle notes of red date and pear with a cream top. The drink was nicely balanced and not too sweet. Honestly, you can't go wrong with any of their coffee drinks, which have strong coffee notes. I also love their coffee cakes, which tend to sell out pretty quickly by midday. The cake is rich and moist with a nice cinnamon-sugar top and pairs nicely with coffee. They have plenty of parking in the back lot. Definitely check them out if you're in the area!

I was in the area on a weekday and decided to stop by before work to grab a coffee. I went at around 8:30 AM and it was busy with many folks doing work. After looking at the menu, I had a hard time trying to figure out what to get given the selection! I asked for a recommendation between drinks and they mentioned if I want a hot drink - Miso White would be good; for a cold drink - Lychee Tonic would be ideal. It was a hotter day, so I opted for the Lychee Tonic. Since it was busy, the wait was ~ 10 minutes for the drink. After giving it a try, it tasted refreshing but I didn't really get the lychee taste. Not the best first impression with the tonic. However, I'd still consider coming back considering their ambience. Also absolutely interested to try their pour over options! Parking is available in the back of the building. American Express is accepted here.
