Been going to this place since 1990's and they service has always been really good and the donuts are at consistency. We usually go for the glaze donut and their chocolate bars. Kiddos love their donut dots... read more

This place has been here probably before I was born!!!! I freaking love it. First of all, the donuts and the food here are AMAZING. I love their maple bars and I usually get their ham and egg croissant sandwich (3.75), maple bars, or donut holes ($1.25/dozen). They raised their price by $0.25 but ayyy you do what you gotta do, gotta match inflation man. Anyways the croissant is my favorite go-to item and it's HUGE. I usually save the other half for later or give it to my mom. The maple bar is sooooo good, I can't explain it. Second, customer service is very good here (surprisingly for Asian places) and the lady or man always makes sure to get my order right and wishes me a nice day :) They accept card here! Which is great for a mom n pop shop. Parking is super easy and there's plenty of seating, though I think this is usually a stop and go kind of place. read more

love this place! the family that works here is sooooo nice! we love coming here for juice and croissant sandwiches!

Nice service and I love the wings...I waited 20mins for the fresh wings to come out and it was so good! Definitely worth the wait! Donuts are also perfect for the day! Don't miss out this place! read more

This is about my third time here and the donuts are always fresh and taste great. Customer service is always so so that's why I did not give 5 stars. They can do a lot better. Great customer service goes a long way. read more

The hazelnut iced coffee is amazing! Reminds me of dunking donuts iced coffee. Definitely will be coming back!

I'm use to going to another donut shop but stopped by here cause I had already passed my usual spot. I'm going to come here from now on. Best donuts I've had in a long time. Crispy crust, fluffy inside, not dry and not too oily. Just the right balance of everything you want in a donut. read more

So disappointed in their BOTH the regular ham and cheese croissant, and the croissant sandwich with egg and bacon. I ordered the regular ham and cheese croissant without the egg and bacon, which would cost $1 more. Price came out to be $2.75, which is the price that is stated on the board. I walk out but decided to get the sandwich also so I walk back into the store and order another ham and cheese croissant, but added egg and bacon this time. Price comes out to be $3.95... So I asked if this is the combo because there was a picture of a croissant sandwich with eggs and bacon AND a drink for $3.95. She said no, and that it was different... I didn't want to argue but I hate it when people try to take advantage. My price should've been $3.75 -- the price that it says on the board (I know this BC the one I bought less than a minute before that was the price that was on the board). I am not one to complain about 20 cents but I hate it when people try to take advantage and raise the price depending on who you are. That is just discrimination. Not only was the service horrible and NOT friendly, the croissants werent great. The regular ham and cheese croissant tastes like any other croissants, except the distribution of the ham and jalepeno were just bunched up together. I want to have my ham and jalepebo in every bite, not 3 inches width worth of ham and cheese in just one area. The sandwich was even worse. The croissant top and bottom were toasted, but the ham was COLD, and the egg was just luke warm.. It didn't taste like it was cooked all the way either. Now I'm just hoping I don't get salmonella from uncooked eggs.. Very, very disappointed in the service and the food. Would not come back. read more

Got the Jalapeno Ham & Cheese Croissant ($2.55) with egg and bacon (extra $1) for the first time and it was really delicious. They have a variety of donuts and their service is fast/friendly. This place is a bang for your buck! read more

Went here two days in the row and I love it! Only donut shop in the El Monte area that I go to! I recommend this place to all my friends and family :) read more

Been here once with a friend who lives in the area that took me here. I had my doubts at first looking at the outside (inside none too better), but you know the saying, "never judge a book by its cover." We got the ham and cheese croissant and WOW was it good! Very savory, and it really hits the spot! The staff here is also really cool, very friendly and talkative! Not hum-drum like other places i go to so the bright attitude made it a better experience (especially for a doughnut shop). Would def come back for the service and the food! Overall: Service and Friendliness is what makes this place! Def would come back for the sandwich too! read more

Really good donuts and a large selection of other food. I will say that the ham and cheese croissant sandwiches that they have are saltier than most other donut places but still an overall good donut shop read more

This is a great little donut shop! There's plenty of seating if you want to enjoy your baked goods on spot. I went on a Sunday with the intention of buying a raspberry-filled donut, but unfortunately they had run out of those by 1pm. Bought 2 lemon-filled donuts and a half dozen donut holes. All for just $2.20! I have high expectations for any jelly-filled donuts, and this one didn't disappoint. The cake was pretty light for something that's been deep-fried, lemon filling had a great consistency, and the whole thing had a dusting of powdered sugar (eat the donut with powdered side up unless you want it all over your clothes). Donut holes were pretty good, but I liked the lemon more. Staff is friendly and efficient. There's plenty of parking too. read more

Owners are very sweet and attentive the sandwiches and donuts are fresh and very tasty!

The old man that worked was nice. Now it's all young people. The donuts are still good. Sometimes they run out :/ I don't drink coffee but I got the ice cream a couple times. Right after the club or the bar is the perfect time to go. read more
