    A box of dozen  yummmm
    Ami S.

    Super nice owners and tasty donuts I just got a warm feeling by how welcoming and nice they were when I visited here for the first time. I got a dozen donuts (only $11) and they gave me a whole bunch of donut holes - I got full off of that. Lol My go to donut shop

    Be forewarned.

    Just had the worst experience ever. On my back from the gym I stopped by to get a couple of donuts and tea. I went to sit my stuff down to grab my wallet and they kicked me out. They were yelling" you can sit here" over and over. I tried to explain that I just wanted to sit my stuff down to get my wallet out and they kicked me out:(I just happen to be by the grace of God a retired veteran with a master's degree but apparently I was not good enough to sit in their donut shop. I don't want this review to sound vindictive but as a warning and as a desire to share such a disheartening experience as I felt led.Please use caution before entering. I simply went to yum yum donuts down the street and got an amazing crossaint filled with cheese ham and jalapeños, a donut and tea. It was so good. Comfort for my terrible treatment.Be forewarned

    a spoon full of milk and chocolate

    I got a milk tea boba and it wasnt good, the boba was sticky and was hard to go into the straw and it was clumped together and just didnt taste good, i think it was like old boba? wouldnt come again + overpriced .

    Donut holes-10 for $1

    I'm not sure why this place gets such stellar reviews, but it did satisfy a craving for donuts. The staff was patient and expedient. Located very close to USC, this place is small and serves donuts, sandwiches, drinks. Late on a Saturday night they still had a decent selection of baked goods. Donut prices start at 80 cents each. Donut holes are 10 for $1 - they were light, chewy, sweet. Nothing so special, but they did hit the spot. parking - free lot

    Look at that sexy intersection . Hnnnnnggg!!!!

    HOLY MACARONI. THIS IS BAD. AND BY BAD I MEAN REALLY GOOD. So I have been very very proud of myself for the past year or so. I have been overall donut free, mostly due to scarcity in my local area as well as no where that provides having convenient parking that i can shamelessly go in and out to buy cheap fatty donuts without feeling like a obese pig . In my area there are no real options for donuts, except for the prepackaged gas station imatation hostess stuff , some weird joke called spudnuts.. Really?? Potatos in my donuts?? and in some sad desperation I've consumed the 1.75 year old donuts at the local 7/11. When you have a problem you aren't that picky. But when your don't really have any options I guess it's has been a blessing of sorts. Somehow I stumbled upon this donut shop. And yes . IT IS THE KING OF DONUTS. Let me explain: When I first pulled my car up into this clean open parking lot, my first thought was this donut shop must be an undercover front for something else. An awesome donut shop with parking??? Walking in I wasn't sure what to expect, but a nice gentleman greeting me IMMEDIATELY. I was utterly not even sure what to do since the latter experience I had on western avenue started with an odd dont make eye contact non existant greeting from a pregnant 17 year old with a unibrow who god forbid had to assist me in shucking donuts into a paper box. This however was like the golden treatment. Looking at the pricing I was unsure if they were just a joke or if they were some vestige of a simpler time. The trays were fully stocked full of glistening shiny donuts . They all looked as if they were shouting " PICK ME!! NO EAT ME! I AM THE ONE YOU WANT! NOOO OVER HEERE!!" I was amazed they all looked so colorful and delightful. It was as if I had landed in oz and the munchkins were offering themselves up for a feast! I ordered one bear claw, 12 donut holes ( only $1??) , half a dozen donuts and a bavarian creme donut. for my friends... of course.... It all came out to about $7 . RIDICULOUS CHEEP. I quickly paid and ran into my car in giddiness. I figured they must have made a mistake but then I came to the horrible realization I may have made a mistake. Perhaps these were just decoy donuts. PERHAPS THEY WERE DRY AND SAD. PERHAPS I WAS WRONG ABOUT THEM BEING DELIGHTUL. I nerviously opened up that pink box, and popped a donut hole into my mouth. OH LORD VOLDEMORT IT WAS WARM. I couldnt believe it. It melted in my mouth with gooey warm happiess. Before I knew it, I had consumed all 12 holes and I needed more. As I was driving home, I couldnt keep my hands of that wicked pink box. The next donut I had was a bavarian creme. I took one bite.. and out exploded delivious gooey CREME! IN ONE BITE! most places hide a small squirt of some instant jello with corn starch in some sugary mess. BUT NO.. this was a soft and delicate creme.. filled up with love and covered in chocolate. Despite the honking horns , flashing lights, and faint sound of police sirens I didnt stop. I had to have more. Next I had the glazed cake donut. IT was everything I had been searching for and More. I wanted to cry, scream, call my mom?? I was so unsure. I just knew I was in love again. The outside was perfectly slightly crisp. With an o so delicate glaze . Not too sweet, but just sweet enough . The inside was porous and light. It was a delicious cake inside desguised as a humble donut. Before I even got to 4 stop lights. I had already went through a kalidescope of magical donuts. I felt so alive. This is truly the king of donuts. A good, wise, and tasty king. I bow with shame and awe of its beauty.

    Donut go to another donut shop again because if you're searching high and low for your basic sweets or breakfast, this is the spot you need to be. I haven't been here in a while, but I finally made the trip back to this place and remember how much I loved it last time. It was delicious and they sure have upgraded all their sandwiches & sweets. They now serve fresh squeezed juices, breakfast sandwiches, and delicious boba drinks. Their juices are made fresh with real fruits and when I want to indulge, I get their breakfast sandwiches because I can tell you.. the ingredients are fresh and 10x better than McDonald's. I wasn't craving anything on their menu and I really wanted a quesadilla. So the young man who was working there was very willing to accommodate my needs and made me a quesadilla! The chicken quesadilla was filled with yummy chicken breast, cheese, and topped with jalapenos and chili sauce. This is a special order, so you have to ask for it! TIP: Get their Thai Tea. Trust me on this one, it is not overly sweet like other places but not watery also. This place isn't cash only, but they do charge a 35 cents on debit card transactions, which is okay to me!

    4 dozen plus apple fritter only 31.00. Very friendly and courteous.   Takes credit cards!

They sell a variety of sandwich which you can customize to your liking. Because the sandwichs are huge, my sister and I shared one. We tried the L'Italiana and added truffle honey for $3. Total was $24 for our shared sandwich that was super filling for two people that we actually didn't even finish our own portion. So highly recommend sharing your sandwich! The sandwich was better than expected, the truffle honey really elevated the flavor of the specific sandwich we got but I would ask for less honey. Too much sweetness did overpower the sandwich. We also got the chip & drink combo for $5 and it's Italian chips & water. They also have a small bar seating area! Parking was a bit harder to find but we found street metered parking. Would highly recommend & can't wait to be back.

The bread was perfect, the meat was stacked just right, and everything inside actually held up instead of turning soggy. You can see it in the sandwich, it still looks and eats like something you'd get handed across the counter. But the pistachio cream is what took it over the top. I honestly don't think I've ever had anything like it on a sandwich before. It sounds like it could be too much, but it was perfect. Creamy, savory, a little rich, and completely addictive. This place is the real deal. If it's this good after a one-hour delivery ride, I can only imagine how insane it is fresh in the shop. Five stars easy.
