    Half donut half bagels
    Monica R.

    Came by to grab some donut and bagels for my team. The employee there was very nice and welcoming. He boxed my donuts and bagels up which was nicer than just walking in to work with a bag. There was a variety of donuts and bagels. The bagels were very soft and light. The donuts were a little dense but not too bad.

    $2-$3 for a donut is insane to me. We really in rough times if that's how much I'm going to pay for a donut. So, I'll pass. I'll just say the coffee is good. Pretty solid bold flavor with the iced coffee. The star of it all is the bagel sandwich. Paid close to $20 for a coffee and a John Wayne. Portion was huge and very tasty. Service was really good and friendly. Definitely a place to come to if you're looking for a solid breakfast sandwich.

    A million points for opening at 5am and serving breakfast burritos near LAX. Extremely limited options at that time. Located in a small shopping center in El Segundo, I was thrilled to know that I wouldn't be stuck eating a frozen McDonald's or Starbucks sandwich. The place is clean and service is excellent. First thing that caught my eye was the fresh Apple Fritter & Bear Claw selection at pre-Covid prices. Breakfast burrito was on the smaller scale but it also is 3-4 dollars cheaper than nearby options. Cut in half and easy to eat with little to no bacon grease pouring out. In my opinion for a 5-7am breakfast burrito option in the area, theres no need to go elsewhere.

    Bear Claw. Yes!!

    I am a donut expert and aficionado. As soon as a donut is in my hand, I have a good idea if it's gonna' be good and if it's worth the calories. What you wanna' look for in a donut or any other donut like variation, such as an apple fritter, bear claw, fried cinnamon roll, etc, is the weight. If if feels heavy, that's generally not good, because it's too oily. The next thing you do is take just one bite and and keep it in your mouth for a bit before swallowing it to get a taste of the oil. If it's oily or stale, you are not getting your calorie/enjoyment ratio which equals to, not worth the calories. I can assure you, the donut creations here are worth the calories and there's no oily taste to be found! I had a bear claw, and it was packed to the gills with apple filling. Holy smokes, was it ever good! My friend had a breakfast sandwich that I had a hard time not stealing from her. It was awesome! They also have an espresso bar and plenty of other things to drink. The prices are on par with any donut shop, which was surprising, because this place is more premium. Parking is plentiful and free, and the staff is awesome! I'm writing this review in October 2025, and it's a soft opening. So far so good!

    The lax burrito
    Jason K.

    A great looking assortment of bagels, donuts, croissants, other baked goods, and breakfast items. Got the LAX burrito and was pretty satisfied with it. Not the most tasty or amazing burrito I've ever had, but certainly nothing to sneeze at. $14 seems like a reasonable price. Service inside was friendly and expedient. Lines can back up to the outside during peak times on weekends. Definitely worth a visit.

    Guava Glazed Donut
    Peter L.

    This Guava Glazed Donut was really dam good. The guava was not to sugary it was perfect. Definitely made in house. If you love glaze donuts please give this a try. The workers were attentive and helpful with any questions I had.

    Perfect place for a rainy day! They have a little bit of everything for everyone. Donuts, bagels and burritos. Definitely going back to try a burritos!

    A great new addition to town. This coffee shop offers a wide selection of donuts, bagels, and coffees, so there's something for everyone. The atmosphere is warm and inviting with some indoor and outdoor seating available. I tried their croissant, and it was absolutely amazing--perfectly buttery with just the right flaky texture. Friendly service and fresh offerings make this place well worth a visit. I'll definitely be coming back to try more from their menu!

    Donuts
    Tami A.

    Great service. They recommended the apple fritter. My husband said it was one of the best he's had and he's had a few! Pumpkin muffin was delicious. Can't wait to try the rest of the donuts tomorrow morning. Will update the review once we do.

    Picked up 4 dozens Dodgers-themed donuts to celebrate the World Series Champs!  The croissants and vanilla latte are yummy too!
    Grace K.

    Great place with easy parking... and open early, perfect for picking up for school stuff! Bonus: Excited to know they're having "buy six, get 6" deal right now

    The glossiest frosting ever seen! Apple fritter, maple long John, chocolate old fashioned, Nutella and strawberry stuffed deliciousness!
    Lori T.

    The most charming bakery just opened a few months ago, with the glossiest frosted donuts I've ever had! Great coffee choices with many syrups to try, and can't wait to try the breakfast burritos! Definitely worth a visit.

    What a day and night from the one I was going to in Lakewood. This location is goated. The owners…read moreare so nice. Extremely friendly, welcoming and comforting. I pulled an all nighter and watched as they opened up shop, so I knew I was going to get FRESH of the FRESH bagels. I ended up trying their chocolate chip bagel with blueberry cream cheese. Maaaaaaaaaaan. This was some next level bagel stuff. It was chewy, doughy, had a good bite to it, with the smack of chocolate chips. It was spectacular. Finger looking GOOD. The cream cheese.?.?? I never steer away from plain cream cheese. But I took my chances. I put my big girl pants on and tried a new flavor. And woOoOoOowwwwyyyyy it was good. And it paired with the chocolate chip bagel so weelllllll. I've also had their tuna bagel beforehand and that one is just as good. A little different but definitely a good tuna salad bagel. 10/10 I love this location and their bagels. Location is small with very limited seating inside and outside. They have self serve coffee as well inside. Parking in the plaza.

    There are not very many actual bagel shops in the Torrance area unless you go to Manhattan Beach…read more This one is located in a strip mall next to a coin operated laundry place. Parking is easy. Bagels are not really proper bagels which have a chewy exterior and are boiled. These bagels are more like bread.. soft, nice bit not chewy like a NY bagel would be. They are fine I guess.

They have those soft croissants that taste like there's butter in every bite (not how other places sell crusty crunchy croissants). This place is a good little spot to stop by before/after grocery shopping at the Vons next door. Or to hangout and enjoy the music while waiting on the nearby laundry mat machines to finish. Convenient location. Chai tea here is also great! Creamy and soothing. I've never had a bad item off the menu here, love this local little bakery cafe! Thank you to the friendly staff who are quick and polite.

    Redondough is a local cafe in Redondo Beach that used to be best known for its Churro Donuts, but…read morethe café has phased out Churro Donuts and is now known for its breakfast croissant sandwiches. [Parking]: The cafe is located in the same parking lot as Vons and I haven't had any issues finding available parking spots during my visits. [Atmosphere]: Nothing to write home about and the interior decor was meh. I initially thought it was a donut shop, but they mostly sell breakfast sandwiches, croissants, and cookies now. There are few tables both indoors and outdoors. [Ordering]: Order at the counter, receive a buzzer, grab a table, and pick up your order at the counter when the buzzer rings. [Menu]: They sell breakfast sandwiches, deli items, cookies (e.g. ube) and coffee drinks. Yelp's top recommendation is breakfast sandwiches. Customers need to choose a style (e.g. Original Breakfast), bread (e.g. croissant), and meat (e.g. bacon). The staff recommended the bacon breakfast croissant. For drinks, the store has a sign stating Caramel Ice Coffee, Vanilla Latte, Matcha Latte, Fruit Tea, Cream Foam Thai Tea, and Vietnamese Iced Coffee. *** Original Breakfast (meat, egg, Swiss cheese, tomato, avocado - bread = croissant + meat = bacon - $13.65): Soft croissant and I was a fan of the fillings - two thumbs up. Almond Croissant ($5.35): Interesting croissant and not what I was expecting as it had almond paste filling rather than almond slices. The bread was fluffy but a bit cold. *** Overall this is a solid café for locals to stop by. P.S. - Redondo Beach Dog Park is just around the corner.
