This is a no frills mom and pop shop with plenty of regulars and newbies. The staff are very friendly and work hard at getting people in and out. I came for the TGTG and was pleasantly surprised at the value, freshness, and variety that I received. It was almost 2 dozen fresh donuts and fruit croissants! Amazing! read more

Classic dumpy strip mall donut shop. They sell lots of things beyond donuts and the donuts ain't that great. Granted, I went in the late afternoon but they were old and crusty and uninspired. They charge a fee for using a card. Donut and chocolate milk was six dollars. Is that normal? read more

Local donut spot that has been here foreverrrrrrrr. Way before the armenian businesses moved in. They have the best donuts hands down. They dont have the fancy schmancy $6 artisan donuts but the classics are the best. Ive tried donuts everywhere. Even across state lines. The only donuts that compare are Bosa donuts in arizona. Parking is limited but ive always lucked out. And yeah theres always a grandpa sitting in there scratching his lotto card or staring off into space w his lonely cup of coffee. Dont judge the ambience, just get the donuts. The elites that give less stars on here are just passing through and dont know much. read more

It is about what you would expect for a cheaper donut place. Definitely some odd vibes in the place, but it is probably just not my thing. The donuts themselves were ok, but this is not a place I'd get donuts from to bring to a party or something. But it did satisfy my craving for a donut. read more

Excellent value for the price. Fresh and great taste. Customer service on the other hand lacking as I wasn't greeted when I walked in even though the employee behind the counter saw me. When I approached the counter, again he saw me but was just standing there ignoring me until I spoke. I also did not like that when I was pleasantly surprised and thanked him for my order he made it a point to tell me he didn't do anything special for me, everyone gets the same thing (rude.) I can't be grateful? and say thank you and be pleasant? I am my own person and everyone isn't the same. Anyway, they should work on the customer service. Not sure if I will return, didn't feel welcomed. read more

10 out of 10 times I prefer going to a mom and pop owned donut shop over a chain. Not only that, this one seems to be open 24 hours! The latest I've been is around 10pm. The staff are super friendly and can definitely tell that they're putting in the work. Donuts: Solid classic donuts! They also do a blueberry cake with a cinnamon sugar coating that I haven't seen before that is a nice change of pace. The donuts don't have an overly old oil taste, even when I eat them the next day. Parking: A pretty large shared lot. Since there are several active other stores in the strip mall, sometimes the spots are all taken. There's also free street parking if you're really desperate. read more

Felt a bit dirty walking in. The large group of guys smoking cigarettes in front of the open door did not improve this feeling. Then the 1980s-office fluorescent lighting had all the interior (including the donuts) looking drab and unappealing. The nice young lady behind the counter was quite helpful and friendly however and this made for a better experience. Thankfully the donuts didn't taste like cigarettes. Unfortunately they do taste a bit like tooth-decay & sadness. Best to come here if you need lotto tickets or you wish to raise the ire of your coworkers. read more

She came back out 2 minutes later, chewing something in her mouth, again, no mask. The other woman who helped me wore gloves and mask. She used tongs with her gloves to get my food.

Papillon International Bakery

I'm always on the hunt for a Piroshki, one of my favorite delights that I think originated in…read moreRussia and is East European by origin. I think Papillon is Armenian which I believe has European cuisine, as Armenia is considered geographically to be within Western Asia (the Middle East) and the South Caucasus region. Sitting within the mountainous Armenian Highland, it acts as a transcontinental bridge between Eastern Europe and Asia. Their Piroshki is long and thin, whereas I'm accustomed to them being robust short stocky and round almost resembling a giant baked potato in size and shape. So these look like a "Chinese Donut" a.k.a. Youtiao (油条) in size and shape, same girth but length maybe 6"-8" long. What I liked is the filling of the Beef was minced ground beef with sauteed onion bits mixed into a blend and seasoned with a bit of spice but overall was very moist and juicy and the fried dough was very good. So, I'd recommend that. Oddly, I tried the Beef and Potato reluctantly thinking the pure beef option was going to be better... and the Potato was soft and perfect so I'm thinking they're equally good depending on your mood. I tried the beef empanada, and it was very good, similar flavor of the beef empanada to the piroshki but not exactly the same, otherwise I might say the empanada is bigger and gives more protein of the ground beef. The desert shaped like a peach fruit was very good. It reminded me of Asian style deserts where they're not overly sweet and has a healthy refreshing taste more so than being too overwhelming with thick sugary creams. I found out they have multiple locations. It feels maybe the Armenian and Russian community in So Cal are more toward this area and The Valley, so I do have to take what could be a 60-90 minute journey to come here, and even longer of a commute to their other locations. I think they'd do well in the SBBC (South Bay Beach Cities) down South past Santa Monica but before Long Beach and Orange County. I'd recommend this place for the food and service.

Old Ferry Donut

It's also filled with a light, soft cream. DELICIOUS! I arrived at Old Ferry Donut (San Gabriel) on a Wednesday (around 3:42PM). Parking is simple. There's a competitive customer parking lot. And there's a city public parking lot about a two minute walk away. Staff is very friendly, professional, and welcoming. Staff maintained a bright smile throughout my visit. Staff immediately helped me. Customers can order at the self-service kiosk or counter; however, the kiosk felt very dated & the prices on the kiosk felt less transparent. I recommend just ordering at the counter. There's no penalty for using card at this donut establishment. As mentioned, I love the Tiramisu Donut ($4.95). It's not too sweet; rather, it all felt balanced. However, this is a VERY messy donut; I recommend eating this donut with a fork and knife. The powder fall everywhere, and your clothes can quickly get stained with chocolate powder. Still, it's a delicious pastry. On ambiance, Old Ferry Donut (San Gabriel) is comfortable. This business is more reminiscent of a cafe than a typical donut shop. There's customer internet with password; details on the counter. There's a gender neutral restroom. And there's an electrical outlet & outlet adaptor for devices. The location is fairly small; there's one interior table and one small counter. Fortunately, this place felt airy and well-ventilated. There's also some upbeat, fun music in this clean spot. Overall, I found unexpected joy at Old Ferry Donut (San Gabriel). There's sincere passion & hard work within these walls. If searching for a special donut for a special someone, this is an easy spot to recommend. 4.9 out of 5! Go!

Stopped in on my way to work as I drive by it all the time. Saw some of the reviews and decided it…read morewas time to try this place out! Ordered a single shot espresso and the very popular butter pistachio donut. It was HUGE. I shared it with a co-worker as I knew there was just no way I alone could finish it. This thing was decadent... and totally up anyone's alley who has a severe sweet tooth. I typically do not like overly sweet things, but I have to admit, this was very good. The espresso was good and strong, and for me, a single shot was more than enough to get me through my morning. As I was the only customer in the place at the time, service was quick and friendly. I will definitely be back to try other donuts!

I got hints of the caramelized sugar but was a little sad that more of the banana flavor didn't shine through, even with the banana foam! I got the mango sticky rice matcha for my husband which he enjoyed but he also lamented in desiring a stronger matcha flavor. Despite this, I still thought that overall the drinks were tasty and I would return to try their other offerings!

I also brought two pints-- Louisiana banana and tsokolate! The banana had real banana and didn't taste artificial at all!! I always love the tsokolate because it's rich but not too sweet. The two employees who helped us with taste tests and scoops were so patient and sweet! They greeted us with smiles and took the time to explain the flavors. We sat in the little nook. Comfy seating!

Despite claiming she was nervous, we could not tell one iota and she seemed a natural at something she was doing for the first time. We were so proud of her. Our daughter thanked us by treating us to lunch and then taking us to Perlas Ice Cream shop for dessert. She has wanted to take us here for sometime and she raved about how amazing the ice cream was. We wholeheartedly concur with her positive assessment of Perlas. If you're a fan of Filipino/Asian inspired ice cream flavors, you'll love this business. You don't even have to be Filipino or Asian to enjoy the ice cream here. It's quality and flavorful ice cream for anyone. Besides the ice cream, the stellar customer service from the young Filipino dude made our first time visit a noteworthy one. Perlas can be found in Glendale, CA., specifically in the Montrose neighborhood. There's a row of businesses on Oceanview and Verdugo Avenue. It's parallel to Schreiner's and a short walk to Domino's Pizza. There's free parking close to the shop and there's street parking. Perlas is a small ice cream shop with a small indoor seating area consisting of cushioned bench style seating. There is covered outdoor seating where there are pink metallic round tables and pink folding chairs adjacent to trees providing more shade. Inside the shop, the focal point are the rows of ice box storage containers holding the ice cream; there is decorative lighting; I really enjoyed the shelves on one wall that held Filipino grocery items; the framed pics of family and other items representing the Filipino culture was a nice touch; and I really liked the hidden drawer in the order counter that had packs of Lactaid. Kudos to the young Filipino dude who was friendly, accommodated our sample requests, and provided outstanding customer service. From Google, Perlas Ice Cream is a family-owned, Filipino-inspired ice cream shop, known for unique, handcrafted flavors like ube, strawberry matcha, and banana foster with a Filipino rum swirl, blending Southeast Asian influences with classic desserts. My daughter had visited Perlas previously and had told me that I would enjoy visiting because they serve Filipino style ice cream. She was totally right that I would love the ice cream and my effusive praise for their ice cream started after I tasted the samples I requested. I asked to taste Buko Pandan, Turon, Louisiana Banana, and Mais Con Queso. I also tasted Ube because my daughter requested that as a sample. Out of the several samples, I ordered a double in a cup of Buko Pandan and Turon. Buko Pandan is coconut and pandan ice cream. Turon contains caramel, saba banana, jackfruit, and toasted spring roll wrapper. It was flavorful from first taste, creamy, provided respite from the warm weather, and I savored every bite. Out of the two ice cream flavors I consumed, my favorite was turon, which is a popular Filipino dessert that's a sweet spring roll filled with ripe saba bananas and jackfruit, coated in brown sugar, and deep-fried until crispy and caramelized. Perlas turon was that dessert, but in ice cream form, and it is a Must Order. It truly was a blessing to watch our daughter do her thang and to spend quality time with my two fave ladies. The cherry on top of the proverbial whip cream sundae was our visit to Perlas Ice Cream and their ice cream needs to be in that proverbial sundae. Seriously, it's that delish!!

La Cubana

The food here never disappoints. I've never had a bad meal at this restaurant…read more It is a family-run business with a small, intimate setting. Pictures of Cuba and its heritage are displayed throughout the restaurant. Salsa music plays in the background, and you feel the Caribbean atmosphere as soon as you walk in. Complimentary Cuban bread is served as an appetizer at the table. I always order the Bistec Empanizado with two sides. This time, I had moros (black beans and white rice cooked together) and tostones (fried, smashed green plantains), along with a side of avocado salad with onions, oil, and vinegar. It completed the meal perfectly. My husband had the Carne con Papa (beef stew) with moros and plátanos maduros (sweet fried plantains), along with a bottle of Coke. This restaurant is a Glendale staple for both locals and the Cuban community. I remember when it was located on Colorado Boulevard many years ago. Even after all these years, the quality of the food has remained just as excellent for the past 26 years.

The glaze donut and the donut holes are oh sooo good. I don't know why it is so addicting but I end up ordering from them at least 4 times a month. I can eat a minimum of 8 donut holes at a time. They also have combos with a sandwich, a coffee and a donut for a great price. The coffee has the perfect strength for me. I often get my coffee with a hint of syrup and some milk. read more

I've been going here since I was a kid. Pretty good donuts, not the best. Really nice people and great service. If you stop by at night you'll usually find the same 5-6 creepy dudes outside just and laughing and playing scratchers. Sucks that they don't take credit cards. read more
