    Another coffee review from another coffee fanatic. Donut included. I came before closing time at around 8:35pm. Another set of people strolled in after me. I ordered a chocolate donut with an iced cream latte. Donut was a 3.5/5. Mid. I specialize in chocolate donuts and this one did not exactly *wow* me. It was moist, decent chocolate flavor to it. It felt more generic than anything, no offense donut. The maple pecan donut my friend ordered was a 4/5 though. I enjoyed it more than the chocolate donut I had ordered, but pls dont tell the chocolate donut that. The iced cream latte? PHEW. That coffee was pretty amazing. It kept me AWAKE. Got the bowels moving for sure too. It is not sweet so just beware of that. Coffee flavor is ON POINT. robust, full of flavor 5/5. The service was not good whatsoever. I mentioned it was my first time there, and typically I would be informed about the establishment and their specialties and so.... but not here. Okay. well. next, the entire demeanor and attitude of the worker was pretty absent. Even when I would say thank you there was no response. I was kinda shocked ngl. It's all good though. I enjoyed my coffee and skidaddled. There is ample parking in the plaza with plenty of neighboring establishments.

    Been here a couple of times, but not really worth coming back. Nice space with a good vibe. Customer service is generally poor. Workers don't seem happy to be there or help. Interesting donut flavors. Very hit or miss. Almost everything is cream filled. Wildly overpriced. A dozen will cost you $55-60. Execution is good, but it doesn't justify the price. I think they forgot that at the end of the day, these are donuts not dessert. Type of place you try once or twice and then decide their gimmick isn't worth the price of admission. Too many other great donut shops in town for this place to survive with their current format.

    Came here around 8:40AM on 10/19/25.interior was nice and captivating; however, there was ZERO greeting/customer service upon arrival and we were the only customers in the donut shop. I also didn't know that you ONLY have the option to order on the kiosk? The girl working seemed like she didn't want to be there or interact any customers. So, we ordered on the kiosk and came to the conclusion that not every donut on the display isn't available on the kiosk. Most importantly, I received really bad customer service after I placed my order. First, I asked if they had knives and the girl didn't say anything but point to where they were. Second, There was a miscommunication with my order and the girl working gave me so much attitude! This is such a shame because the donuts we got (Raspberrry ring, butter pistachio, maple pecan, onion sesame, cream cheese, Chocolate roll) were all really good. I would've given 5 stars if the Customer service was better and had a decent experience. Luckily, there are several other locations to go to.

    Clean interior, friendly and patient service, lots of donuts to choose from. Seriously, what's there to complain much about? I liked the butter pistachio donuts I got but didn't like any other flavors I got. The earl gray cake donut tasted dry and stale. The chocolate cream donuts tasted too dense and cream inside too runny. It also tasted rather artificial. The peanut butter one was ok. Nothing to write home about. Parking is free and plenty. No bathroom available inside. No way to wash hands pre or post stuffing your face with donuts. There are seatings available inside and also kiosk to order donuts and drinks to simplify things. Would I return? Not unless I'm on my way somewhere.

    Oh bummer. This place closed for good. I will miss their Butter Pistachio Donut. It had a good run, but it was empty a lot.

    My box of goodies.

    Ever nice my first bite of the pistachio butter I have been hooked!!! I was in the area and got my box of their famous doughnuts. This location is fairly big and because it's in a huge plaza there is plenty of parking. As always, staff is great.

    The Service: There are two self ordering kiosks. The staff at the counter is very efficient. The store is clean & well maintained. Love the color orange, it's bright & welcoming. The Donuts: Their donuts are so fluffy! Love the chewy texture. Freshly made daily. The staff recommended Butter Pistachio flavor. OMG! Not only there are pistachios toppings, once I bite into it, there is buttery fillings too! Nice surprise~ Milk cream ball is my another favorite. The milk cream is refreshing and not overly sweet. If you are a latte lover, definitely try their Iced Cream Latte. Super creamy! Summer is here, we all need some refreshing drinks. They have this hibiscus & yuzu beverage. I can even taste the yuzu pulp! The Parking: Plaza parking lot (free)

    We stopped by to get boba next door and just saw this place. Korean donuts??? Had to try. They were sold out of many of the favorites but doood... they were all amazing! Mango ball (5): delicious mango crème. Dusted with some mango outside. Awesome. Hazelnut choco (5): chocolate glaze with some hazelnut filling. Delicious. Tiramisu (5): the consensus favorite of our bunch. Tasted like tiramisu for reals. The crème was amazing. Most things here have some sort of filling which really just kicks it up a notch. They open at 8 or so which is when they hit and fresh. Need to come by then to try it hot. What an amazing stumble!

    I found this don't place when I took my son to the boba shop next door. Their menu alone looked so delicious. A few weeks later I see an instagram reel introducing this place as a chain from Korea known for their soft, fluffy dough and delicious cream filling. I took some in for a company party but I was so hungry stole a piece of the butter pistachio and by far my favorite cream filling donut ever! If you're not into cream filling this place may not be your jam as 90% of their spread are filled either some kind of cream. Original, mango, strawberry, raspberry, chocolate filled donuts Their crème brule tasted a bit sour for me. As the reel suggested super fluffy dough Nice cream filling but not too sweet. Coworkers loved it! Can't wait to go back!

    I'm in love with their donuts. Never had bad ones. It's not greasy and not too sweet. I also love staffs there and most of them are very nice. My favorite is pistachio. Ohhh now I'm thinking about their donuts and I really wanna go again.

    Ryna D.

    I'm a fan! Don't be deceived by the Americana decor, this is a Korean import. The cream filled donuts are excellent and they've got all sorts of flavors. I tried the non-cream filled donuts as well but they definitely shine with the cream filled ones.

    It was one of those days that I realized that my dessert would be my dinner and I have no regrets. I stumbled upon this place after walking out of HomeGoods, and I am so glad that I did, this location, the service, the donuts and decor was truly what I needed to end my workday. This is truly a place that I would come back and just hang out, read or study or just chat with friends. The ambience and vibe is absolutely delight delightful and the service is supreme. I ordered a iced Matcha, a Boston cream and a hazelnut donut, and everything was absolutely exquisite.

    The flavor options
    Marcela O.

    The donuts taste so rich and high quality. This is the first time I try these donuts and now I'm a fan. I tried the raspberry, crème brûlée, earl grey and lemon poppy seed cream. I enjoyed the early grey most. The worker here was very polite and sweet. We came to the Torrance location and we were helped right away. The place looks warm and inviting. Well kept and clean. Soft music and the smell of donuts in the air. I love that they have mirrors to take pictures for social media.

I don't like sugary drinks, so the friendly crew member recommended replacing their usual sweetened tonic water with unsweetened, and reducing the yuzu to 75%. He said the yuzu flavoring is sweet too, but reducing it lessens the flavor as well as the sweetness. He mentioned they could add more yuzu later if I wanted. I appreciate the options presented clearly with the flexibility built in. And the original 75% recommendation turned out to be the perfect balance! The private shared parking lot had multiple empty spaces on a Wednesday afternoon. There is some seating but not a lot, and I was getting it to go anyway. While I stood around for my order, it looked like a comfortable, welcoming atmosphere. My drink came out very quickly and I was on my way. I plan to be back!

You can tell they put a lot of effort into their food and drinks. As for the ambiance, it's perfect for those who want to hang out and catch up with friends/family or to study. When I visited, there were easily 5 other groups and individuals studying here. I have a big soft spot for banana flavored items. A BIG SOFT SPOT. Banana Cream Pie Latte - this one carries the biggest punch for banana lovers. Banana cream the entire way from start to finish. Not too sweet. Awesome foam top too. I highly recommend drinking these without the straw. Foam top drinks are best appreciated when you get a nice 50:50 ratio of the foam and drink. Banana Matcha Latte - the name speaks for itself. It's a nice mixture of both. So if you're looking to feel a little healthier with the matcha element, then go for it. This was probably the prettiest drink of the 3 that we had. Americano - delicious and got the job done here. I naturally enjoy Ethiopian and Colombian beans. I brew them often at home. I was definitely wide awake after these drinks lol Strawberrynana Waffle - If you LOVE belgian-style waffles like me, then you'll find yourself ordering this again and again. It wasn't too sweet but sweet enough to easily go through 2 or 3 of these plates if you're crazy enough. Banana Walnut Honey Bread - the best for last! I really loved eating brick toast growing up. There were so many stores back in the day that sold them, and now I can't find them as easily. In fact, Caffe Bene is the only place in the South Bay that I know that sells them. This one brought me back to the past and put a gigantic smile on my face. Delicious, perfectly sweet, balanced, and finished wanting more. Highly recommend!

The only thing that I don't like and that I don't think it has anything to do with the owner's fault is their clients like predominantly Asian this makes me always feel uncomfortable when I go into an establishment and I'm just like the only one who is not the race of the store like if you go to an establishment and in another area could be all like Hispanic or it could be all black or it could be all white it always makes me feel uncomfortable when there isn't like diversity in the group for some reason here it's all Asian so unusual so if you're Asian, I guess you'll feel comfortable here if you're not Asian it just feels so strange, but the only thing that irks me anyways not too bad

    Great Demand, But Poor Convenience for Working Customers…read more I've had The Nook's mushroom coffee before. My best friend took me here on a weekend afternoon, and even then there was a line, although it was manageable and mostly stayed inside the shop. Because of that experience, I knew The Nook was popular, but I wasn't prepared for what I encountered on a weekday morning. I wanted to pick up a coffee before work, so I actually planned ahead. Before leaving home, I checked the mobile website expecting that, given the obvious demand, there might be an order-ahead option. Unfortunately, there isn't one. So I gave myself an additional 30 minutes specifically for parking, waiting in line, ordering, and waiting for the drink to be prepared. I figured that should be more than enough for a morning coffee pickup. I arrived around 7:30 AM, and as I walked toward The Nook from the south side of The Enclave, I could already see the line stretching out of the door and into the courtyard. I was honestly shocked. There were easily 15-20 people ahead of me. I decided to give it a fair chance and got in line. After 10 minutes, the line had barely moved. At that point, I walked out. I understand that popular businesses get busy, especially in the morning. But there is a difference between being busy and having a customer wait in a line of 15-20 people with virtually no movement at 7:30 AM, particularly when there is no mobile ordering or order-ahead option. For a coffee shop with this level of demand, I find the lack of an ordering system especially frustrating. If you're going to consistently have lines extending outside the business during the morning rush, there should be some way for customers who are trying to grab a drink on their way to work to order ahead. And that's really my issue: the customer experience doesn't seem designed for people who need coffee efficiently. If you're coming here on a weekend, have nowhere to be, or are willing to dedicate an unpredictable amount of time to waiting, you may have a completely different experience. But if you're trying to get coffee before work, I would strongly recommend accounting for significantly more time than you think you'll need -- or having a backup plan. I no longer work as close to The Nook, and I don't drink coffee after noon, so I don't have much reason to make a special trip. Unless I'm conveniently nearby and see little to no line, I won't be making another attempt anytime soon. The Nook clearly has a loyal following, but popularity shouldn't come at the expense of basic convenience. If the demand is consistently this high, the ordering process needs to catch up with it.
