    My family and I have been going to this donut spot since I was a kid. They've been around for years and the people who work there and possibly own the place are super friendly! We usually order the sugar, crumb and glazed donuts and they're baked to perfection. Super fluffy on the inside and has the right amount of sweetness! I also like to order the ham, egg, cheese croissant which is huge and made to order unlike other places like Starbucks, etc. Back in the day, you could sit inside and eat but I think since Covid it's been more of a "to-go" situation. I did notice that the prices have increased but totally understandable with all the tariffs. But I love coming here and love supporting local businesses like this one.

    ** BE AWERE ** Just the day before we ordered a dozen spending almost 50 dollars . We bit into the the donuts they were raw , we went back and tried to get things corrected but instead we spent 30 minute going back and forth about the donuts being raw , she herself said these donuts were from last week . So what does that tell you ? . OLD DONUTS . she proceeded to touched all the donuts with her BARE hands . we had receipts we had everything and they declined to right their wrong . Bad customer service bad everything , will never will go here AGAIN . She threaten me and told me that I'm lucky I had my child with me , ma'am that's not okay .

    Serviceable donuts for some place that's 24/7. I'm not sure about individual donut quality as some looked more aged/rugged than others. Service was barebones nothing to complain about. I would probably avoid their parking lot though it seems to be carefully curated to wreck your car under carriage.

    I was craving something sweet but a lot of places are closed Saturday night! It was 8:30PM and found this place through Yelp. The reviews here were average but Google reviews said 4 stars. So I had to try it for myself! The experience confirms I should follow my fellow Yelper's reviews... The donuts were a hit and a miss :( I ordered a blueberry and old fashion donut. The blueberry tasted old (definitely made over 2 days ago). The old fashion was better. I guess I should have known seeing the available options were so empty. $10 credit card minimum. There is also a few parking spots right out front. Maybe the beginning of the week is the best time to go, but I'd avoid coming here on Saturday...

    A friend visits my family every Sunday. She rarely comes empty handed despite usually coming before or after work. Her latest stop produced a box of "donuts". But when I finally opened it a couple days later, this is what I saw (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=u7Yv2b550kE_bIhTpCF8QA). Being a few days later, I decided to try one item before they became stale and had the banana pastry (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=aFQsFGi4aGJLPvUXDNCv8A). Our friend didn't describe what was in the box so it was a nice surprise when I bit in. There were slices of banana that luckily were not spoiled yet despite not being refrigerated. I enjoyed this but it was a bit due to the time lapse before I tried it. A couple days later, I tried this (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=R_rMtMqPgPiFqHJMxKoNiA) and it was even drier as it was filled with custard on one side and strawberry jelly on the other. Thank you to our family friend for thoughtfully gifting these to us. I will stop in if I'm in the neighborhood. I understand it's open 18 hours or more daily and 24 hours Saturdays, a rarity for businesses these days.

    Family run business. Love their donuts! I prefer the simple basic flavors. The raised crumb donut is my favorite. The staff is always friendly and nice. I'm glad they remain open 24 hours.

    What a cute little cafe! Visited for the first time on a Friday morning, and it wasn't bustling as…read moreothers have noted (could be due to not being the weekend?), so I was helped right away. Located in a rather dense part of Daly City, but with a little effort, you can find a spot to park. NOTE: There are meters on Mission Street that only take quarters! You order at the counter, then take a seat. Nice variety on the menu, both breakfast and lunch items (eggy thangs & goodness between bread). A couple of Latin items. A small choice of baked goods and a self-serve water station. Ordered "The Scrambled" w/ ham and cheddar, potatoes... no choice on toast, just straight unbuttered wheat, so you'll need to request butter if you want some. Also got a large latte which was delicious! Everything was brought to me, which was nice. Only saw one staffer up front (they weren't busy), and she was super friendly and upbeat. Can't believe I haven't been here before, but I will be back as I'd like to try the Baleada, which is egg, bean, and cheese in a tortilla... simple, but looks tasty. Also, prices were very reasonable! Go, go, GO!

    Stumbled upon this neighborhood mom and pop cafe as I was finishing up some grocery shopping nearby…read morein the morning. You order and pay at the counter and they'll bring you your dish if you want to dine in. There is metered street parking at the front, but you can find residential parking on the side streets. The ambiance of the cafe was simple, warming and welcoming; a quiet and relaxing vibe. Service overall was great and dish came out decently fast. They cleaned up pretty quickly as well when a table was finished. I wanted something a bit light so I opted for: 1) American Omelette(6.5/10)(~$12) - A decent and light breakfast plate. The omelette was a thin egg omelette a bit of a departure from your usual diner fare. The ham wasn't diced either, it was just 1-2 deli sliced ham placed in between with your choice of cheese(provolone, cheddar or swiss). For sides, you can either get a salad or potatoes. I went with the potatoes and they were grilled really well and seasoned just right. It also came with a sliced wheat bread. It was an okay dish, but if you want something more filling, I would try something else. 2) Drip Coffee(Small)(7/10)($2.75) - Just your usual house coffee. Overall, taste was good without it being overly bitter. A adequate cup of coffee that will wake you up in the morning. Price was very reasonable as well. 3) Pupusas(5.5/10)($4.50) - I ordered a pupusa to go as I wanted to give it a try for lunch. It was an okay pupusa; I ordered the chorizo one....but couldn't really find it in the pupusa when I got home. Just refried beans. It was freshly made though since it took awhile to get it. The pupusas aren't on the menu in the cafe, but it is written on the board outside. It came with a bag of mild salsa and a bag veggies on the side. Overall, I've had better pupusas on the Mission and would skip this. A decent neighborhood spot to grab a quick bite if in the area!

I ordered the Osmanthus Matcha Latte (cold) with no modifications. However modifications included dairy or non dairy options, toppings, ice level, extra matcha and sweetness level with 50% as the minimum. The matcha was lightly sweeten and smooth. The osmanthus bits in the bottom was delightful. The osmanthus was lightly sweetened, slightly citrusy and floral. The drink was well balanced between the two flavors. Definitely would recommend a visit.

    TL;DR: expensive drink but worth every penny…read more I popped by on a random weekday afternoon after a client meeting and was looking for a sweet treat. There was no line at all, so my drink came out really quickly. Service was efficient, and basically non existent since you order on your phone, and pick it up from the counter. They have some seats indoors and a few benches outside, it's pretty spare and basic inside which is all you really need in a cafe. I saw a lot of people getting takeout, and some small groups around tables chatting. I was debating between the matcha and houjicha, then got intrigued by the black sesame, and finally after much internal debate, decided that black sesame + houjicha would work best together and wanted the einspanner. They honestly have so many intriguing options like Earl grey matcha einspanner??? Banana pudding?? I have to come back. My only complaint is the price but I guess everything is expensive these days. $8/9 for one of these drinks hurt my heart though. On the flavors: while I wish there was more black sesame (I always do), this was one of the most satisfyingly black sesame items I've had from a cafe. It went really well with the toasty roasty notes from the houjicha and I think they added enough of both amidst the milk to make it a very satisfying drink. This can be rare because a lot of places drown out all the flavors with too much milk. The best part though, was the einspanner - the sweetened whipped cream on top really brought the whole drink together and was so delicious. It made it just that little bit more decadent. I got it at minimal sweetness and at first though it wasn't enough, but I was glad I did as I worked my way through the cup, it was perfect.
