    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!

    This mom and pop donut store is just right off the 10 freeway, so it can get busy during the morning and evening rush hour commute.

    I swear I am addicted to this place :-) I found this place…read more10-12 years ago, when we lived in DTLA. We used to come here and buy salads, Sandwiches, Donuts all the time. About 5 years ago we moved to San Fernando Valley, but I am still visiting this place at least twice / 3 times a month. I wish I could come more. Their Mango Jicama salad is my favorite, and the donuts... oh my goodness... Do not miss this place if you are in the area.

    I've passed by this place so many times but haven't tried it out until recently! I really do like…read morethe pastries. So much variety here so there's definitely something for everyone. Mochi Twist ($5)-- Nice and dense mochi texture? I guess it's hard to describe but it's not hollow and airy like a typical donut. There's some chew to it. And it's not too sweet! Blueberry Roti ($4)-- Flaky crumble on top and blueberry jam?? YES YESSSS. I liked this so much I'd definitely go back for it. Blueberry jam is so underrated and it's rare to find it in a pastry! Makes for a good sweet lil treat. Hot latte ($5)-- Perfect!! No complaints. Not too milky, not too light. Good ratio. I was actually kind of worried ordering a latte because not every place does it right but it's good here! Iced blueberry matcha ($6?)-- I see lots of good things about this drink on here but ooooooof... it missed the mark and by a LOOOT too. It was green sweet cereal milk. Where's the matcha? Where's the blueberry? It was so confusing because I see the green and I know I ordered matcha... but it's just sweet milk! And it's not even blueberry flavored milk. Did they forget the blueberry jam? Syrup? Whatever they use? Because it just tastes like the milk after a bowl of Frosted Flakes or something like that. Very sad, very disappointing. Ended up tossing after a couple sips. ANDDD for those matcha purists this is NOOOT the place for you! They have it pre mixed in a milk gallon. So we just saw green milk coming out of a gallon into this cup like yeppppp ok expectations immediately lowered. Anyways, hot latte is good and the 2 pastries I got were good! Steer clear of the matcha!!!

It's light and fresh, not like the fake, overly sweet crap you get at most bakeries here in the US. I think I've ordered from them 6 times in the last two weeks, which probably says it all. The strawberry cream donuts especially remind me of the cream donuts back in NZ. So worth it that I genuinely don't give a shit about the calories lol.

    I was in the mood for a donut, and my donut place down the street was closed. I've driven my Flour…read moreFresh Cream Donut many times. It used to be Magee" Dontuts for many years. Flour Fresh Creme Donut has been around for three years now, so that says a lot about how much people like what they have to offer. I naively went in looking for a traditional ring donut. You won't find anything like that here. They primarily have the Korean-style fresh cream donuts. Again, I was looking for a traditional donut, and the closest thing I saw was the flour twist donut. It was nothing like a glazed twist donut; the only similarity was that it was twisted. It seemed to be baked, not fried. It was very good quality, but I really messed up by not getting a creme-filled donut instead. My friend had a pecan roll and loved it. The quality of the product here is top tier for sure. The prices are premium, but the quality matches the price. They also sell sandwiches as well as coffee and tea drinks. I will certainly go back and try one of the many creme-filled donuts.
