Munchkin's Donut Shop is a mom and pop bakery conveniently located between 10 Fwy and 210 Fwy on…read moreCitrus Ave in the City of Covina. I read great reviews on their famous ham jalapeno and cheese croissants plus donuts and cinnamon sugar croissants. I knew I had to swing by to snatch some of that goodness. Didn't want any FOMO in my system LOL. Got here around 9:00 AM. Shop is small with a few tables and chairs. Place was clean. Back area used for storage of inventory. Not too many customers at the time. I probably missed the morning rush. Btw, they only bake donuts once per day. When they run out, that's it! The young lady behind the counter was sweet and friendly. I think her Mom and Dad were in the back helping in the kitchen. Donut selection was pretty standard with raised and cake options. They didn't have a lot left so I just got what they had... alot of twists and rounds! My Order: 3 dozens donuts 1 dozen cinnamon sugar croissants 2 ham jalapeno and cheese croissants Here's my take on the baked goods... Their glazed twist was good, but needs a bit more glaze on top. Chocolate twist had the perfect amount of chocolate on top. Crumble cake donut was very moist and tasty. I preferred it over the crumble raised donut which is a surprise to me because I'm usually for the raised more so than the cake. The highlight was the cinnamon sugar croissants. They were SO GOOD! Light, crispy, and soft in every bite. Tasted like churros. The ladies were so generous to throw in a few cinnamon sugar croissants in each box on the house. Thank you so much for the extra sweet treat! Ham jalapeno and cheese croissants were huge. Cheesy inside with not so hot jalapenos plus delicious ham slices. Croissant was super light and flaky. I enjoyed it, but there was something slightly off with the taste. I can't pinpoint it. If you haven't given Munchkin's a try yet, now is the time to get you some tasty baked goods. Make sure to come early before they sell out! Enjoy your Munchkin's! Btw, there is a credit card service charge so bring CASH if you want to save a little moola.

Munchkins Donuts Shop is most famous for their croissants and they are so popular that there can…read moresometimes be a line to get them. If you want the best selection get there early, like around 9 am, or they will run out. They have great plain one and ones filled with meats and peppers and all sorts of stuff. They all are great. And you can carefully freeze them, so get a bunch and take them home. Parking is easy and the prices are quite fair. They also have super coffee. The service is very nice and they are fast and if there is a line, it moves fast. The place is older, but well kept up and clean inside. It is very comfortable. They have a counter with so many donuts, you will find several you want. We love the regular glazed. Their cake donuts are so good and they have a great selection. They have every donut you can think of. You can't go wrong here.

Stopped in on a Friday night for a beer to unwind. The place wasn't packed, a few people. We…read moreordered a blonde, my guy ordered the blood orange. Here's my take.... We ordered, say down inside to watch the game (Fifa). Reached for my beer and it was stuck to the table. Haahaa!! WT??? My guy reached for his and same thing.. I took a sip and my beer was flat. My guy took my beer back up. The bartender re-poured the beer but it wasn't any better. My guy said his blood orange didn't even have orange, he said it was really bitter like they used the rind instead. We couldn't do it! We left our beers on the table and left. I asked my guy to tell the bartender but he didn't. So beerless, beers sucked this time. Hopefully the brewmaster gets it together.. what a waste of 2 $9. Beers.. No food order, but they did have a pop up, ambiance was ok.. Service was food. Beer.. NOT so much!!

Alosta Brewing Co. is easily my favorite local hangout. One of the best things about this place is…read morethe bartenders--they are incredibly friendly and always happy to help. If you're overwhelmed by the massive selection, they'll actually let you sample a beer before committing, so you know you're getting something you'll love. Whether you're a hardcore craft beer fan or prefer their seltzers and slushie seltzers, there is something for everyone. The space is great too, with plenty of seating inside and a solid outdoor patio area. Pro Tip for Food: Check their Instagram to see which food vendor or truck is there that night, but I love that you can also bring your own food in. The Weekly Vibe: Wednesday Nights: Music Bingo is a total blast if you want a fun mid-week break. Thursday Nights: My personal favorite! The People's Trivia Co. hosts trivia night and it is always such a fun time. All in all, it's just a fun, welcoming place.

India Fresh is a grocery store that also offers plates of curries with rice and garlic naan. If…read moreyou're there to eat just walk towards the back counter to see what's available to order. The staff was very welcoming to me since I came in during lunch time and explained the combo plate options and costs. I ended up ordering the 2 item plate with Chicken Tikka Masala & chick pea curry with my choice of the garlic naan. Staff mentioned she was going to make a fresh batch so I waited inside the store. The food was ready in a few minutes and the aromas of the curries and garlic naan were radiating. It smelled so delicious. I ate my lunch there and it was very satisfying. The tasted very good and I cleaned that plate easily! The fresh garlic naan was simply the best to dip with the curries. I loved the crispy exterior and soft interior of the dough. Overall, I'd return again to have another lunch in the future. Thanks, India Fresh for the hospitality. ( ^_^)b

The people working are always kind, but sometimes the service can be slow and they don't always answer the phone. You can walk around the store while you wait, which is cool since there are products that aren't sold in other grocery stores. A true hidden gem!

This is like the best Ice cream shop in SoCal. First walking in it takes you back to Stranger…read moreThings Scoops Ahoy with its cool color vibes and graphics. Second the owner Ice cream crafter is award winning and the friendliest guy explaining alll his custom yummy creations. Third there is also a craft beer counter serving craft beer and wine along with beer and wine floats using the homemade ice cream. What is better than two of the best things in the world beer on tap and homemade crafted gourmet ice cream!!!! I scream for both! This ice cream artist has taken it up on flavors and has come up with some super delish unique items some that include a little beer in them to make them extra creamy and some non dairy made with coconut milk. You can taste your heart out as every flavor is temping and made of fresh natural ingredients. Definitely one of the best ice cream shops that i have come across and probably I think the best in SoCal. This place makes Handels look like baskin Robbin's and makes others like after and salt & straw look commercialized. Because this guy is crafting the ice cream that he knows the people want and takes ultra pride in his product. A must visit place - located at the end of old town Covina that is also worth a visit to dine at and walk around. I'm coming back for a beer float on their patio and to pick up one of their cool tshirts. They also sell by the pint. This is ice cream heaven at its best!

I ended up just ordering one beer. The gentleman who told the cashier that he couldn't help me on the beer wasn't friendly. The signage on the pricing was a little confusing. I sampled the ube cereal malt and liked it. When I got the actual flight, it tasted different so I think the beer altered the taste. We mistakenly thought they served us the other ube coconut flavor. It turns out that the ube cereal malt has coconut as well. The ube flavor wasn't as strong as I'd have liked. My favorite flavor was definitely dulce flavor. Coffee was good and pistachio was ok.
