    It's an old fashioned donut shop located in a small plaza with only a few parking spots. It's a real hidden gem, and I visited this store very randomly and felt satisfied after the first bite. Their apple fritter is a must try here, hard sugar coded shell and soft apple fillings, every bite has a condensed layers for taste. On top of the great food, I was happy with their friendly service and affordable prices.

    Apple fritter is like crack to me!!! So good!!!!

    I can't say enough good things about this mom and pop donut shop. I've been going here since I was a teenager. Their donuts are the BEST in Burbank, and that's saying a lot because Burbank is home to some donut mega giants. Burbank citizens: never take for granted that we are blessed to live in donut heaven! They have really good breakfast croissants here and they make an awesome strawberry banana smoothie; their Thai tea is also so well made. The service here is always so good. They open early. There's always a good rush of people between 6:00-9:00 am. The prices are unbeatable too! My favorite item here is the apple fritters! They are the reason it's hard for me to be skinny.

    Absolutely delicious! Dad's Donut Bakery in Burbank is a true gem. I stopped by for the first time and tried the apple fritter , donut twist and the cake coconut donut and all 3 were incredible. The apple fritter twist was perfectly crisp on the outside, soft and flavorful on the inside, with just the right touch of cinnamon and glaze. The coconut cake donut was rich, moist, the glazed twist easily one of the best I've had. On top of that, the prices are super reasonable. You get fresh, high-quality donuts without overpaying. Friendly service too. Definitely my new go-to spot for donuts in Burbank

    The Service: The owner is very friendly and sweet. She is there at the shop as early as 4am. The service is efficient. The Donuts: Freshly baked daily. Consistent good quality. No wonder she gets lots of orders from the entertainment studios in Burbank. The Parking: Plaza parking lot (free).

    Delicious donuts that are served quickly by a friendly staff. There are about 18 or so different options to choose from, including original, cake, and cronut (croissant-donut) options. There are a couple of two-person tables inside, but this is mostly a place to take your food to-go.

    Great customer service! The donuts are fresh, and flavorful. The old fashioned donuts, my favorite, have perfect crispy edges and a soft interior. The coffee is good too. I will definitely be coming back next time I need a good donut.

    I originally visited this shop for the donuts and friendly atmosphere, and while those are both phenomenal, I end up coming back again and again for the made to order breakfast sandwiches (I get the ham and cheese croissant).

    1) raised the prices 3 times in less than on one year, 2) constantly yells at his wife in front of others, 3) horrible customer service.

    This bakery is addictive!! Once you go, you will definitely go back. Their mousse filled cakes are…read moredivine. I've tried the green apple and lemon. Also I've had their Dubai cake. Not as chocolaty as the bar but still good! Service is very helpful. They want to get your order to keep the lines moving. I admit, it's easy to just look with amazement at the pastry counter LOL. The inside has a few tables alongside the windows but everyone mostly sits outside or get things to go. Next time we go, will definitely try their pizza.

    This was my first visit to Altadena Bakery, and I was excited to try some of their viral fruit…read morepastries. I also ordered a pizza and a vanilla iced latte. The pizza was absolutely delicious and definitely the highlight of my visit. The pastries were good, but they didn't quite live up to the hype for me. Unfortunately, the customer service left a lot to be desired. My iced vanilla latte was extremely sweet--far sweeter than I could drink. When I ordered, I wasn't asked about my preferred sweetness level, nor was I told there were different options available. When I went back inside to ask if it could be remade, the original employee wasn't there. The employee who helped me seemed inconvenienced by my request and responded by saying, "Well, you have to tell them," even though I had no idea sweetness levels were customizable. Her body language and tone made me feel like I was asking for something unreasonable before she finally agreed to remake it. The replacement coffee was much better, but the interaction unfortunately took away from what could have been a great first impression. The bakery itself is clean, and the food has potential, but customer service is just as important as the product. Based on my overall experience, I don't see myself returning.

    I just had to hop on here because I heard Lou say on his IG that someone gave him 1 star. I…read morecouldn't believe it ,what?! What do you mean 1 star? Do you have taste buds? Do you have any sense?! Anyway, turns out that person was upset that their order got canceled on DoorDash. If that person ever saw the line at Lou's, she'd understand why. Better yet, if she ever tried Lou's, she'd never have the gall to post nonsense like that. If you haven't had it, don't review it. Simple as that. As for ALL of the items at Lou's "Oh, aimé-je" it does NOT get any better. The croissants are hands down the best in America. The sandwiches (all of them): finger-licking good. The éclairs are the most delectable in town, as are the other pastries. And with ALL of that, somehow the best thing is still the customer service. I have yet to walk in there without seeing Lou personally chatting it up with customers, the man is everywhere. On sunny and rainy days he's passing out umbrellas, and on Mother's Day he's handing out wonderful gifts for all the ladies. The staff take their lead from him and are every bit as splendid. If you haven't tried it yet, it's not too late -- run, don't walk, this weekend. Your taste buds will file a formal complaint if you don't.

    10/10 would come again…read more Found 2hr street parking after circling the block 3 times (if not there's a paid lot nearby for a little over $1 for the first 20 minutes). Got here early Sunday afternoon because the line was not absurdly long -- about 6 ish parties in front of us and waited around 15-20 minutes. The interior was really small and there's really only room for to place your order -- if you ordered a drink or sandwich you'd have to step outside to wait. There are a couple of small round tables covered with umbrellas for small parties if you want to do a small meet up or wait for your goods. We had wanted some croissants and apple tarts but unfortunately they had run out of the Apple tarts by the time we ordered (another excuse to return next time). We were convinced by the nice lady at the register to pick up not one but two almond croissants because they were fresh out of the oven and I'm SO GLAD we did. It was still hot/warm when we took our first bite after walking back to our car -- flaky amazing lamination with a steaming frangipane filling, for sure the best almost croissant I've had. The regular croissant was also good but not fresh/warm like the almond croissant so it left less of an impression but I can imagine it also tasting amazing if we got it fresh. Burbank is not necessarily close to where I live but I'm so glad we happened to stop by to finally try this spot out! I'd love to try the sandwiches and tarts next time!
