I emailed them a week prior about placing an order with some reference photos, but in case they don't get back to you right away, I would suggest calling the store a couple of days prior. Custom donuts are $4 each and I did try to ask if there were different flavors, but I did not get an answer to that. The store itself is located in a busy plaza but parking is really easy. It is very spacious inside and looks like it would be a great place to study or hang out. Their display case is also full of unique flavors that enticed me to buy a couple of them! I ended up getting a green tea and horchata donut, which were a good sweet treat! The lady at the front was also very sweet and patient as I decided on what flavors to get and also helpful with getting my custom order ready. The custom donuts came out super cute and looked exactly like my dog! I would definitely suggest Dynamite Donuts for custom donuts and also to try their unique flavors!

Every bite is hearty and it's truly a "healthy" packed portion sandwich - they do not skimp on ingredients, it's well worth the price and you will be satisfied after you consume it! I've also recently had their Vietnamese coffee which is well worth the sweetness, caffeine and calories. I have also had smoothies and a vanilla latte from time to time. Customer service is always exceptional (even when it's busy!) and the funnest part is they sell LOTTO tickets at the counter or by the machine. It's clean, there's a good variety of drinks, donuts and sandwiches to order for brekkie to lunch or anytime- it's Great spot. I highly recommend this spot.

But my favorite go to orders are The Vietnamese ice coffee or Thai tea, And the Combo lunch sandwich or the #7 breakfast sandwich. To see how much Michelle has upgraded and transformed the Buisness over the years is inspiring! It's like night and day seeing how it used to look inside compared to now. The remodel and constant upgrades that have been made show that the owner reinvests heavily in the customers experience and that alone deserves a 5 star review. Me and my family will always support this amazing small Buisness.

What impressed me about their dinner menu is the drinks, very strong and delicious. The food was okay... we ordered a burger with fries and wings. The meat was cooked medium rare, if you don't like it cooked that way make sure you let them know. I really enjoyed the wings, they were well seasoned and give a decent portion. They also charge for extra ketchup which I've never experienced, understandable if it was ranch or some other special sauce but it wasn't. All the servers were polite, attentive and the place was clean and felt welcoming. They have a bar that I'll probably go to next time just for the drinks. I recommend to order their hazelnut espresso martini and the madre mía both drinks were amazing!

Chef Joe and Chef Kate make amazing baked goods, but I have to say, their savory food might be even more amazing! Must-tries: Crab Fat Pasta - I could honestly eat this every day if I could! Longanisa Sandwich - definitely not your typical boring sandwich. Pork Belly Z-Logs - toddler-approved by our super picky little one! Halo-Halo & Mais con Hielo - the perfect treats to cool down with on a hot day! Milo Dinosaur, Matcha Fragola & Biscoff Latte - all on regular rotation in our family. Sugartoof has become one of those places that feels like a family favorite. Whether you're craving something sweet, savory, or a good drink, you really can't go wrong. Highly recommend!

I've gone to mom-and-pop shops that have better cup holders than this. Starbucks should honestly be ashamed. I mean, look at the picture. Really? This is what you're giving customers to carry their drinks? They seriously need to look into getting normal, decent cup holders instead of these ratchet egg-carton setups. For a company this big, it's honestly ridiculous.

The staff were so nice, the store was quiet and clean. I got the sparkling watermelon matcha spritz. It wasn't terrible, but the matcha flavor didn't quite hit the spot for me. I think it's because I'm used to stronger matcha, I usually have organic ceremonial grade. The watermelon flavor wasn't very strong either. It felt more like sparkling water with a subtle hint of matcha. I saw they had a plant-based breakfast sandwich, but since it uses Impossible Foods, I don't consider it to be vegan. They did have a vegan muffin, but the staff wasn't sure what flavor it was, so I passed on it.

Only downside, if you don't know what you want and spend 5-10 minutes looking at the menu, we had to wait about 20 minutes because others ordered before us. This was on a semi-busy Sunday.

We also tried the arroz con leche and the Nutella donut, and both were delicious in their own right. Everything was beautifully made and full of flavor. But that coconut brioche? That one really stole the show and lives rent-free in my mind. If you see Gigi's One Bite Wonder at a market, do yourself a favor and stop by. Your taste buds will thank you.

I initially thought the price was a bit steep at $25, but considering the size, quality, and taste after trying it, I would buy it again. They only had milk chocolate available at the time and were sold out of the dark chocolate, which is my favorite, so I'll be looking out for that dark chocolate bar next time!
