I was in the area and called ahead to see if they had any I could pre-order, but found out that the Cannoli Donut was a seasonal option and they didn't have the ingredients to make any. Donut Friend, if you're reading this, please bring the Cannoli Donut back! The helpful staff member speaking with me on the phone let me know about the Danish Donut which has a cream cheese filling which is what she thought would be most similar to the mascarpone filling. It was delicious, but Cannoli is still my favorite. I wasn't a fan of the Strawberry Mochi Donut- not sure why because I love strawberries and the texture of mochi & glutinous rice flour. Samoa & Cinnamon Toast were tasty! Thanks Donut Friend!!

The interesting thing about vegan and vegetarian food is it's more diverse than any other in the U.S.-- on that, the variety was great! The service was very good! We were greeted quickly and given the rundown of what was on offer, the second visit it was less exuberant, but busy. The place is nice and clean, the sidewalk is a bit desolate. The street parking was close. Lots more to see around the neighborhood. DTLA has drastically improved since the shutdown. The unhoused seem to be housed now and general vagrancy is sparse, so that's nice to see. Lots of interesting shops and restaurants opening. Worth the trip!

I popped in on a Wednesday night and there was NO line. The dude at the counter was a little exhausted, but he was calm. I've had good experiences here. I want to try their coffee next time, all these years and it's still on my to-do list!

It's not my favorite bakery in Little Tokyo and I'd rather get Yamazaki's nikuman and as Cafe Dulce's name implies, they have a wider range and are more known for their sweet pastries (not saying that they don't have non-sweet things). They're almost always a part of the huge collaborations that Little Tokyo has, think the Hoyo slop stuff or the crazy Silent Hill one. Lots of art on their windows and they usually have a collab drink or something. Just know that depending on how popular the collab is, and even if it isn't, this place has lines out the door and is quite fisted. Tables in front are always full of people. Drinks are hit and miss. Every latte I've gotten, even with mixing is grainy sweet coffee slop and the matcha isn't too great either (way better options in the area), but if you have a sweet tooth for pastries it's not too bad. Decadent cream donuts, mochi donuts, savory sausage donuts, and creme brulee ones too. Shareable, but something I'd need to down with milk or some water.

Flour Fresh Creme Donut has been around for three years now, so that says a lot about how much people like what they have to offer. I naively went in looking for a traditional ring donut. You won't find anything like that here. They primarily have the Korean-style fresh cream donuts. Again, I was looking for a traditional donut, and the closest thing I saw was the flour twist donut. It was nothing like a glazed twist donut; the only similarity was that it was twisted. It seemed to be baked, not fried. It was very good quality, but I really messed up by not getting a creme-filled donut instead. My friend had a pecan roll and loved it. The quality of the product here is top tier for sure. The prices are premium, but the quality matches the price. They also sell sandwiches as well as coffee and tea drinks. I will certainly go back and try one of the many creme-filled donuts.

Absolutely amazing experience at the Western location! From the moment we walked in, the cashier was warm, welcoming, and provided excellent customer service. The owner even came over to greet us personally, which made us feel so valued and appreciated. My kids absolutely loved the fresh orange juice--it was delicious and tasted like it was freshly squeezed! I was also thrilled to find that they offer non-dairy creamer, which is hard to find and made my coffee even more enjoyable. The atmosphere was clean, friendly, and inviting. It's clear they care about both their customers and the quality of their products. We had such a wonderful experience that we'll definitely be coming back with our family. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for great service and fresh, high-quality drinks! read more
