    Freshly squeezed orange juice with their breakfast sandwiches is a must try!!! There service was excellent [[HIGHLIGHT]]only issue was the tables and seats was outside which it's more of a togo place[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]].

    The best donut shop in the SGV! Their donuts are always fresh and fluffy, and baked better than any other local spots we've tried. Have tried 10 different donuts from here, all were delicious! The service is always pleasant too, and it's never an issue to find a spot in the parking lot

    What to do when you wake up hungry in Pasadena on a Sunday at 11 - don't judge! - and just KNOW everyplace will be filled with brunchers and at least a 45 minute wait to get in? Head to BC Donuts! Morning crowd has come and gone, but delicious, flaky, warm and gooey ham & cheese croissants are served til close. Lovely lady greeted us and got us all set with donuts, mochi donuts, croissant sammies and beverages faster than I could say mimosa. Hubs got a large coffee and was offered milk or half n half before he stepped to the "fix it" bar and added sugar. I couldn't resist a Thai ice tea which was also as yum as the warm ham n cheese croissants. All donuts were good and satisfying. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Shop is small but clean and tidy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Cute Yoda quote on wall, tidy display case and modern menu board all reflect pride of ownership.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Already thinking we may do this again tomorrow before going to Huntington Gardens. Cheers! "CC"

    Got myself donuts today for breakfast. I was asked by my team lead to stop bringing donuts and sweets for the team since I brought donuts for my team every single day last week lol haha!! Ok! Anyway, I went here thinking there was going to be ube mochi donuts (since I saw pics of it on Yelp). They said they ran out (for real... at 6am? Lol). I ended up getting a strawberry mochi donut, biscuit crumb mochi donut, raspberry puff pastry, and a waffle looking pastry thing. Yes, I ate all 4 by myself, lol! All four were very good!! I can eat donuts everyday! I especially liked the mochi donuts. They were super fresh and perfectly textured w that chewy elasticity rice flour is supposed have. The raspberry puff was super flaky and very buttery. The waffle looking thing was good, but a bit sweet for my liking. Definitely coming back for the mochi donuts, those were super yummy!!

    I had a delicious breakfast wrap, it had eggs, bacon and hash browns! The vanilla latte was amazing and those donuts are super fresh and tasty. Super friendly staff too :)

    Early morning craving matcha and decided to walk over to BC's to try their matcha! Ordered 1 mochi biscoff donut, 1 old fashioned, 1 iced coffee, and 1 iced matcha latte for $16. We accidentally received a glazed donut instead of a plain but before we even noticed, the staff was quick to realize and gave us the plain as well! The donuts were delicious as always! We didn't see any reviews on the iced matcha latte but we were nicely surprised with the creaminess of it!! The matcha is not chalky at all and the color is very deep. Definitely recommend trying BC's matcha if you love family businesses and matcha! Also BC's iced coffee is our go-to iced drink of choice :)

    The BEST donuts in town! The utter comfort of a pink box of donuts is magical and who can resist that with a nice cup of espresso! The staff are beyond great, always with a smile! We have been visiting BC's Donuts for almost a decade now and simply cannot find another donuts/sandwich shop half as good. It was refreshing to see matcha and espresso on the menu. Sandwiches are great value at this shop, each sandwich is two meals for me. Parking can be challenging, depending on the time of visit; I usually parking on the street for a few minutes and it always work out for me.

    I will be honest I always passed by this donut shop and never tried it. I read the reviews and it seemed good. I order two donuts and 1 regular coffee. I don't see the hype, it's okay. Coffee is super watery, nothing strong. Donuts are mediocre. Customer service was welcoming. Her donuts are very tiny also.

    Assortment of Donuts

    There are few things more comforting in this world than having a trusty, friendly donut shop in your area. BC's is that place for many folks on the east side of Pasadena and dropping by to pick up a box of donuts from the always smiling staff is like having that Xmas morning vibe set on Groundhog's Day rewind. They make a huge selection of traditional donuts and just do it well. In a world where everyone is trying to create the next Frankenstein combination of French pastries, I continue to honor the old fashioned buttermilk glaze as the greatest donut of all time. So get to BC's and have them pack you a pink box full of delectable fried dough and you too will be transported back to your days of youth when you were the first one to lift the lid and take a bite out of each one before anyone noticed.

    They give us extra donuts! So nice

    I stopped by this spot after a local recommended it as having one of the best matchas in Pasadena,…read moreand it definitely got me in the spirit to watch the new Minions and Monsters movie tomorrow! The Build: I ordered the banana cream matcha, which features a rich matcha base with standard oat milk, topped with a heavenly layer of banana cream and tiny, mysterious crunchy pieces. The Flavor Profile: Taste-wise, the drink was absolutely heavenly. The matcha itself was wonderfully rich, and mixing in the banana cream took it to the next level, while the crunchy toppings added a really nice occasional texture. The only real letdown was the size, the cup was just so tiny for an $8 price tag. Even though the flavors were incredible, it felt a bit hard to justify the steep cost for such a small portion. The Verdict: While the major price tag means this won't be an everyday habit, the solid flavors and super fast, friendly service make it a perfect spot for a little treat every once in a while. The staff had my drink out almost instantly around 10 AM on a Tuesday, and since I live so close, I'll definitely be back occasionally when I want to spoil myself.

We got the mango matcha rain, banana cream matcha, and banana latte. For $7-8 per drink, you get a very SMALL sized cup, I believe it's a 12 oz. Although oat milk is the standard for the matcha drinks, the price for such a small cup was not worth it. For the drinks itself, not sure what kind of matcha powder they are using but it doesn't seem to be grade quality. The banana latte also tasted like milk. Interior wise, plenty of tables & seating. Great for a study spot with ample street parking. Overall, for the price, quality, and sizes, I unfortunately will not be returning.

On this weekday I came for the Jasmine Milk Tea. Last time this was under the Tea Latte section, but they menu changed and there is now a dedicated Milk Tea section. And also there is a Jasmine Latte with Espresso in it, but that is under the Espresso section. I was able to get it chilled but without ice. The lowest sweetness level was 50%, but I asked nicely and they estimated they could make a 25% for me. It turned out wonderfully, extremely floral, barely any sweetness so the Jasmine aroma and taste were the dominant ones. In the food side I selected the popcorn chicken. I can take some heat but only a small bit, so I asked for the spice powder in the side. I just looove the texture of the popcorn chicken. You can see in the picture that it's a very thin breading, almost not there, but the texture seems almost as if an invisible rice flour was tossed in the outside. Still juicy in the inside, and small pieces to make every bite pop-able. The chicken comes with a ranch sauce, though to me it's a second thought. Add a hint of spice or even have the chicken as is, no ranch is needed.

Cute and quaint is the way I'd describe the vibes. With no more than 4 people allowed in the shop at once, there's almost always a line in front and seating is limited to a few out in the arcade courtyard. I usually like to take my drinks to go so I can grab a pain au chocolat at C.A.R down the street but sometimes I'll linger if a table opens up. They team up with different microbakeries on weekends to host popups, my fave being crumbs and flakes, so that keeps the pastry rotation interesting. My drink of choice now, having tried a few items off the menu, will forever be their gui hua (osmanthus) latte. No one can convince me otherwise. Everyone I know who has tried it, has loved it. While there are a ton of hyped coffee shops and cafes, this one is definitely not one of them.

It had almost no flavor and tasted watered down, especially for the price. I expected a quality drink, but it was bland and absolutely not worth what I paid. To make matters worse, we were told to leave the patio an hour before the shop was even closing. If the patio has different hours, that should be clearly communicated instead of asking paying customers to leave early. Overall, this was a frustrating experience. Between the unfriendly service, flavorless coffee, and being asked to leave well before closing, I won't be coming back. There are plenty of other cafés in Pasadena that offer much better coffee and treat their customers with respect.
