    Haven't had my donut fix in about 48 hours, so I'm feeling weak again and need to replenish my batteries lol! I decided to look for a donut shop near me and found KC Donuts. So yummy!! I got a raised sugar donut and a strawberry jelly donut. It was so soft and so fresh!! They also have sandwiches, smoothies, and fruit juices. I really, really love the prices here!! $4.50 for a smoothie is a steal!! Smoothie prices back home are at least $6. I've yet to try their smoothies but I know it'll be good and well worth it.

    Number of choices hot or cold drinks and sandwiches

    I was washing my clothes near by and decided I wanted breakfast sandwich. I seen this spot number of times and always seeing ppl going in and out. I said what hell let's give it a try ‍. The owners super nice all the customers look happy getting donuts, coffee, or breakfast. I have to say for $13 wow my sandwich and ice caramel coffee is great. Definitely will come back and worth every penny plus I love helping small business.

    Ham and cheese croissant

    One morning on my way to work, I had the biggest craving for a ham and cheese croissant. I looked up the closest place and ended up at KC Donuts. I ordered the ham and cheese croissant and got it heated up. The smell of the croissant was unbearable during my commute, so I started munching on it. It was delicious! The way they made it was light and airy, very enjoyable. Also, the girl who helped me out gave me a couple of donut holes, and they were also very good and fresh--not heavy like at other places. I'll definitely be stopping by again!

    Best donuts in San Gabriel! Glazed donut and also get a juice! I like carrot or orange! But they have an assortment in many! You can also get a great sandwich here! Love this place! This is my doughnut spot!

    rasberry donut

    Moved into the neighborood during the pandemic when everything was closed so I somehow forgot there's a donut shop that opens at dawn within walking distance. I went in with low hopes at 6AM and was surprised to see 5 people in there having donuts and coffee, a gleaming space that smelled like fresh coffee and yummy baked things. The rasberry donut I got has to be one of the best donuts I have eaten. It was warm and doughy with a fresh fruity tart filling and the coffee was fresh brewed and strong. The guy who works here is also super nice. The place is clean, and feels like a local spot that isn't a chain, which is great. This was no chain store donut! Support KC Donuts in San Gabriel...also perfect for people who wake up early and want something delicious. People rave about Uncle Joe's which is also great but I liked this donut even more.

    Assorted donuts minus a couple already in my tummy

    Super sweet, generous, communicative, and fast staff. Donuts were all really fluffy, light, and delicious. Will def be back. Mochi donuts available weekend only. Devoured the biscoff mochi donut as soon as I left the store hehe

    Sandwich menu

    I love coming to KC donuts for eveyrthing. The donuts , sandwiches, thai tea, smoothies and juices. It is my go to whenever I want to pick up some donuts for everyone at work. if you get it by the dozen, they can mix the donuts for you. or you can pick your own. The glazed donut or donuts holes are always a go for me. But I mainly come for lunch for the sandwiches and thai tea! They are very delicious and prices are very affordable. You can have many deli meat to choose from and I usually go with Turkey or Tuna. For the bread choice, you can choose crossaint, wheat. white toast, bagels or rolls. I believe they have expanded their menu during COVID, now they're also serving breakfast sandwiches. JUST TAKE MY MONEY! LOL The shop is a family owned and everyone is very friendly. Service is always fast and they always try to remember you. I'm greeted with a smile and "thank you". It does give you a genuine vibe whenever I stop by.

    I've visited Browned a few times over the years, mostly for their Macau-style cream puffs, but this…read moretime I finally branched out and tried more of the menu. The biggest surprise was the Kimchi Croissant, which has honestly become my favorite pastry in the SGV. The croissant was flaky and buttery, with bacon, a soft jammy egg yolk, and just enough kimchi to add a little spice and acidity without overpowering everything else. It's a combination I wasn't sure would work, but it really does. I also had one of their signature cream puffs, and it's easy to see why they're known for them. They offer some interesting flavors like Biscoff Crunch, Taro Salted Egg Yolk, and black sesame hojicha which are a nice change from the usual vanilla and chocolate options. For drinks, I tried the Pistachio Cloud Top Matcha and the Black Sesame Cloud Top. Both were well balanced and not overly sweet. The pistachio matcha was my favorite of the two. The staff were friendly and patient, even though there was a steady flow of customers and plenty of people taking their time deciding what to order. One thing to keep in mind is that they do sell out of popular items fairly early, so if you have something specific in mind, it's worth going earlier in the day. Overall, Browned is a solid bakery with creative pastries, good drinks, and friendly service. It's easy to see why it's become such a popular spot in San Gabriel.

    6/7/2026 BLACK…read moreTRUFFLE MUSHROOM DANISH The danish croissant had beautiful laminated, buttery, crispy layers. The béchamel was a bit clunky in texture. Good amount of black truffle flavor. Mushrooms weren't overly mushy and good flavor and texture. Gruyère cheese brought a lovely salty, cheesy flavor. Overall, okay, but not great. Arugula wilts and it was tough to eat after I reheated it in the toaster oven. I was advised to reheat the danish in the toaster oven before consuming, which I did. DUBAI PISTACHIO CHOCOLATE CROISSANT Rich and very pistachio-forward flavor! This was done well! Tasted like dubai chocolate in croissant form. However, the croissant was not as crispy and was on the softer side. Crispy kataifi on top brought that crispy texture. Savory unsweetened pistachio custard. The sweetness came from the chocolate drizzle over the croissant and the kataifi. Overall, enjoyed it! CHOCOLATE PECAN PRESSED CROISSANT Crispy, crunchy, flaky, buttery, caramelized layers! It does remind you of a flattened more crispier, buttery palmier and maybe even a mille feuille! The plain pressed croissant tasted like caramelized sugar with a buttery flakiness from the croissant. The chocolate pecan side was delicious with dark chocolate and crunchy pecans on top of that buttery, flaky, crispy pressed croissant! Recommend! 8 PCS ASSORTED MINI CHOUX SET You choose what flavors you want. I chose the following. Black Sesame Hoijicha - Strong hojicha flavor right off the bat! I barely taste the black sesame, except when you eat the black sesame paste at the top of the cream puff. When you bite into the whole cream puff, you only get the hojicha flavor. Very good and if you're a hojicha lover, you won't regret getting this! Taro Salted Egg Yolk - A new flavor that was added recently. You can taste the taro on top and the salted egg yolk on the bottom when eaten separately. But when eaten together, depending on where your tongue hits, you get more taro or salted yolk. Choux pastry is crunchy. This was delicious and definitely a repeat order too! I asked the owner and they will continue with this new flavor for now. They did not have the Koyamaen Matcha, when I purchased it via HotPlate. They ran out of it when I went to pick-up at the bakery, so they offered a refund or to replace with another mini choux. They brought back the Maple Pecan with Dark Chocolate Coating as a temporary replacement for the Koyamaen Matcha. But I opted for another Taro Salted Egg Yolk. Classic 64% Chocolate, Lemon Delight, Signature Biscoff Crunch were my other mini choux orders. All consistently delicious and done well. Please see my previous review on these flavors. RASPBERRY, ROSE & LYCHEE CROIFFIN This new edition was not part of Hotplate. I had to order it separately in-store. But wow, this was absolutely delightful! The cream had a pink color with swirls of raspberry compote and there were pieces of real lychee inside! The rose flavor was not overpowering, but complemented both the raspberry cream. The croiffin was flaky, crispy and buttery! This is my new favorite, very good and well done! I will continue to order this as long as it is available! JAPANESE BLACK SESAME CREAM TOP Love all things black sesame. So had to order this! This took a bit of wait time, much longer than expected. This was a simple latte style iced coffee with black sesame cream top. You can taste the coffee, but there was also milk in it, so it was a milkier coffee. Once you mix the black sesame cream top, all you can taste is the black sesame. So yes, it is a strong black sesame flavor in this drink. It was good, but not great to order for the second time. ONLINE ORDER Ordered via Hotplate.com. This has been the easiest way to order and pick-up. Super easy and not fussy at all! Once you order once via Hotplate.com, they give you the option for drop alerts via text when Browned goes live for future orders. You can also order directly via website as well. Make sure you have your confirmation email and order number ready for pick-up. CUSTOMER SERVICE Excellent service! They forgot to give me part of my online order and immediately called me and texted me making sure I won't leave without it! The owner and patisserie chef apologized, yet so relieved I did not leave without my order. She was so sweet and kind! I chatted with her as she was packing up my order. INDOOR + OUTDOOR SEATING AVAILABLE No seats for large groups. PARKING Free parking is available at The One Residential in basement P1. You can see Browned straight ahead as you arrive from the parking elevator. Personally, I recommend street parking. If you arrive before noon, there is free street parking right outside of The One Residential. It is much easier to drive out and also the parking garage is very small, dark and very narrow to drive through.

I happened to meet the owner there and asked her what makes your Matcha so special and she said she used the finest Premium Organic Matcha in her drinks so customers can taste the difference of the real quality ingredients in the drink. I hardly see out there any coffee or tea shop put so much thoughts for their drinks. This owner really cares not just her business but the quality she puts in the ingredients in her drinks! Their Strawberry Coffee is very delicious too with the little kicks of fruits inside and gives a cool tasteful strawberry favor! Dont believe in me! Go try it yourself and definitely you will give a 5 stars! Not only that , it was a long line but they service very fast ! I love it! We come here when we go visit my mom in San Gabriel!
