    How much I wanted to love this spot! I love small small businesses especially.... ones serving donuts. Sadly I had a very off putting visit today. The lady who was at the store was loudly talking to someone on the phone and did not break a stride while she was helping me and kept her conversation going loudly. There were multiple times I had to check if she was telling me something. Given her focus was elsewhere she ending up giving me different donuts than the ones I asked for. By this time, I just wanted to leave and just took it and left. This is one way to make a customer feel unwelcome. Perhaps it was tainted by the service but I found the donuts stale and listless. Sad.

    Fluffy inside crueller donut
    Charlotte P.

    Go here. Trust me. Food- amazing and freshly made. Drink- delicious and not watered down. Customer service- excellent. Their donuts are fire. I ordered a crueller, selected any flavor (maple, glaze, or chocolate), they sent me a chocolate one; as well as a medium hot matcha, beef bahn mi, and on top of all that they sent me fresh donut holes and an extra crueller. The cruellers and donut holes are so good, they taste no more than 20 minutes old i swear. They have that delicious sugar coated outside and inside are fluffy clouds that melt on your mouth. Delicious. Their bang mi options were beef, pork, ham, and chicken. The marinade is really good and the meat has a lot of flavor. The pickled veggies are fresh and make this especially good for summer days by offering the cool crunch and pickled flavors. The jalapeños I added were spicy just how I like. They offer pate but I have never tried it so I did not get it. The matcha was really good too, it tastes much stronger and just more...real? Thank other places. I think they use a good one here. My experience with their customer service was so nice. They didn't have the protein I ordered for my sandwich but accommodated me with a different one instead of just cancelling my order which I'm so grateful for. They also sent a bag of delicious donut holes and an extra crueller ! Such good food and sweet people. I will be ordering again.

    Ube donut
    Meng E.

    My friend wanted something extra for lunch today, so she went by Puffin Donuts as we had been wanting to try the drinks there. I ended up getting a tiger milk tea, less sweet and an ube donut. The tiger milk tea was okay - sweet, but not a lot of tea flavor. The boba pearls are harder and barely have any flavor. The ube donut has good flavor - crumbly and cakey. There's also a hint of some other fruity flavor that I can't quite place. The donut shop itself is small, but they had a huge variety of donuts. The workers were very friendly and efficient at their jobs. I would probably go back for the other donuts and the service, but not the drinks.

    Grease is the word have you heard? (This is pressing half a fritter)
    Glen N.

    Friendly ladies. The old-fashioned glazed and maple were yummy. The cakes and raised all looked tempting, especially the custard-filled bars. Be warned: Let the fritters set if you get them fresh. When hot, each flavorless bite was an explosion of grease. I hoped it was just the ends, but the whole thing was oily. I squeezed the rest out (I included a photo of the grease puddles from half a fritter), and, for the first time in my life, I didn't finish a donut. But after a day in the airtight donut storer (microwave) they were much better. But- hey- go judge for yourself. Maybe I'm just fritter critical (or frittical).

    This is a clean shop and they had a great display of donuts for a Sunday morning. We ordered a few types of donuts, I had the maple glazed. I found the donut to be a bit chewy and thick. We also tried the stuffed donut holes, cream and jam, and those were very tasty. So this is a bit of a mixed review, but I am willing to go back and give them another try.

    Maple Cruller
    David N.

    Absolutely the best maple cruller I have ever had! I have no idea how they made it so light and fluffy. The maple glaze has more maple flavor and less sugar than most as well. They also gave me a few glazed donut holes which reminded me of Stan's donuts, but lighter and less oily. Don't miss this new little donut shop!

    Came specially to try the Ube donut and did not leave disappointed. Located in a shopping center with lots of parking, there were tons of options in the late morning when I arrived. In addition to the ube donut I got my favorite, a maple old fashioned. The ube donut was phenomenal, the perfect amount of ube flavor and super soft and fresh! They also have boba to wash down your donuts with. Service was super friendly and I'll definitely be back again after realizing how close to home this place is.

    Puffin Donuts this week
    Michelle M.

    I was very impressed that Puffin Donuts was open on a Monday morning. I dropped in to celebrate something huge and figured it was way too early in the day for alcohol (like champagne toast.) The woman eagerly and cheerfully welcomed me and I thoroughly enjoyed a donut with vanilla icing inside if it and a cup of coffee that was so good that it needed no cream or sugar. I got a maple coconut cake donut for my husband which he liked.

    The usual donuts.
    Luster C.

    Great donuts, we got sugar coated, old fashion, chocolate filled with creme gel and strawberry filled. The ladies are nice. The coffee was ON or OFF. Regular or Decaf, LOL. That could see a bump up.

    Peach freeze with boba

    Great place. Good donuts and drinks. The workers are always so friendly and attentive. Cute place and we come every week. I wish them all the success !

    Linda

    Linda is as sweet as the donuts! Always in a good mood, I can't wait to see what she does with this place. Great customer service and quality items. More coming soon. Definitely will be back! TRY THE UBE DONUT, so yummy Thank you Linda & team

    The donuts!

The mango is definitely on the sweeter side, so I like letting the ice melt just a little before drinking- it balances everything out really nicely. // Hojicha If you're a hojicha fan, you can't go wrong with any of their hojicha drinks.
