    Traditional Banh Mi

    This is a cool local donut and sandwich shop with quick and friendly service. I got an apple fritter, which was good but a little too soaked in oil....I also got the traditional banh mi which for some reason had regular American ham sandwich meat which was so disappointing....maybe I came on a bad day. But I wish my visit was consistent with all the great reviews of this place! Not sure if I'll be back....

    Open Early, great Donuts and breakfast and lunch options an great service. I've ordered from here many times but took my first trip to come an enjoy a nice cup of coffee on an early morning. So peaceful and great customer service. Cute shop that has such a comfortable atmosphere and cute decor.

    These folks are too sweet! Literally! They have such an extensive menu. The Banh Mi sammies are so good! I love the Mushroom Lovers Banh Mi. Their breakfast sammies are really good, my fav is the Belmont on a croissant. The doughnuts are really good, as well. Fluffy, chewy, light, fried, fruity, glazed, caked, cream filled...you name it, they've got it! Stop by if you're in the neighborhood. They have treats for everyone!

    This is the best traditional Vietnamese sandwich and donut shop that I love in San Carlos ! Most time I just DoorDash and it never let me down ! It just makes my life happier when I eat the food there. Eat and enjoy !

    This place has been here forever and I can see why. The service is friendly and prompt and the donuts are solid! I can see that they get a lot of regular customers. Lots of different varieties and flavors to choose from especially in the mornings. The prices are also decent. I can see why this place is popular and has been a mainstay in San Carlos!

    Yum! I've been hunting for blueberry old fashioned and any version of cronuts I could find. Surprisingly, blueberry old fashioned is far harder to find and I've finally found it here! Everything is made fresh in house daily and there are a ton of flavors to choose from. Nice, fluffy plain glazed, to Psycho Donuts type flavors with cereal on top. Their cronut far exceeded my expectations. I haven't had anything close to the original in New York and that's ok. I just want it to be good damn it! And most Cronuts are not. Theirs is perfectly flaky on the outside like the original! The staff is super nice here too. It's a small family owned shop which I love to support.

    i've been here multiple times in the past and have unfortunately noticed a downgrade each time. today i ordered a breakfast burrito and was so excited to enjoy it after having a rough monday to begin with and a few bites in i noticed a hair. i did not want to continue eating and just hoped there were no more. i should've assumed something like this would happen based off how dirty the floors and counter tops were this visit. so bummed about this waste of a normally delicious burrito they make, and waste of money. please step up your standards of cleaning.

    Quality was there and I like that they have a private lot in front. Inside was pretty clean and organized.Donut case was filled with all different kinds. You can sit indoors if you want to. The donuts were fairly fresh and fluffy. We got variety including chocolate glazed and maple bar. Most of them were good The place is in a small strip mall. Also service was very friendly and nice!

    Such a cute little old town vibe in here. I kinda like it! Whoops I meant to check in this location but I yelpled and checked into the Redwood City one. Either way , the donuts wassss mmmmhhhhhmmmmm yummyy! To me it was so good I had like 4. The display is picture perfect. Very friendly staff and fast pick up. First time here to pick up a surprise bag and oh yeahh I will definitely be back. By the time I looked all around, my order was done. I was in for less than 5 minutes and out before I know it

    Who would have thought that this random donut shop in a strip mall in San Carlos would have such delicious Bahn Mi's?! The people who work there are also soooo nice! The traditional Bahn mi has everything you'd want...pate, pork, jalapeños, cucumber, carrot, and cilantro. Fresh and savory and the toasted bread is perfectly crunchy! The spicy pork is also really delicious. The sauce is amazing and it's got a nice kick. Will definitely be back for more!

    Banh Mi sandwiches now!

The strawberry shortcake donut was delicious. The strawberries were a little too tart but the glazed donut was delicious. Mochi donuts were ok but I probably wouldn't get again. Tried a chocolate donut log with egg custard. Do not recommend the custard filling. It isn't done lengthwise and wasn't tasty. Donut itself was soft and fluffy. Overall, I'll come back for a sweet treat. I think service at this one was better than the other cause just less customers.

It low key looks sketch When I walked in it was immediately transformed to a bright, fragrant, donut shop, and more. They were busy making donuts and transferring some to go to the other location. Some of the donuts I wanted were not quite ready yet but I patiently waited for them to be freshly made. Hazel who helped me was super nice and showed me the freshly made donuts and what they were known for. Crème brûlée doughnuts aren't usually done around 8am but they were able to accommodate. Mochi donuts and a special ube croissant or something is made later in the morning as well. A lot of the specialty donuts are available during the weekend, I was lucky I went on a Friday. 1. Crème brûlée donut: Solid, legit Crème brulee nestled in a nice fluffy donut. It felt so bad to eat this first thing in the morning but OMG so worth it on a Friday morning. I was literally eating a Crème brûlée and thought after the long work week it's so worth it. 2. Liliko donut: Light sweet and tart donut 3. Ube cake donut: Nice glaze shell and when you bite the donut it is surprisingly moist and not dry and crumbly. 4. Cruel donuts: So light and not too sweet, a must try 5. Apple fritter: Big and perfectly crunchy all the way around with the nice cinnamony apple douginess inside. 6. Strawberry mochi donut: It tasted likea fresh smoothie glaze on top, you can see the chunks of strawberries. I loved that it's crunchy and not oily feeling 7. Lilikoi mochi donut: Lilikoi glaze is refreshing and tart, it literally hits you. I love it lol 8. Stuffed guava filled donut: A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!! It's the real deal flavor that doesn't taste artificial. Perfectly stuffed so when I cut it every corner had it. 9. Cookies and cream ice cream: Delicious, I'll definitely be back soon 10. Passion fruit sorbet: Tart and refreshing Honestly, everything I tried was amazing this is a hidden gem. As much as I'd love to gate keep it, I share this with you. This is the real deal..

Good sized sandwich and filling. Only complaint was that there were too many pickled vegetables so it made the bread soggy. The passionfruit green tea was refreshing. Because it took a while for my banh mi, they also comp'd a donut with lemon (?) jelly which was nice of them. I didnt get to try it since I brought it home and kiddo got to it. Must've been good as he ate the whole thing. Another time, I placed an online order since I was craving a breakfast burrito. It was ready in the 10 minutes it took me to get there and it was still hot. Burrito was also good sized and filled with a lot of eggs, sausage, cheese, and some potatoes. It was just missing some hot sauce. Staff have been friendly during each of my visits. Prices are fair. My fave donut is the old fashioned but those seem to go quickly since by noontime they're usually out of those ones.

    I came here the other early morning to buy coffee and donuts…read more The first red flag was that as I was sitting, parked in front, I took a bite of the plain old fashioned and discovered that it was stale. I went back inside and was immediately given a fresh old fashioned. The glazed cruller was ok, but it had an artificial (custard) flavor that I found a little off-putting. I had purchased two "chocolate" cruller. The glaze on this donut was NOT chocolate. The glaze tasted absolutely artificial, overly sweet and probably a health hazard. I ate just the underside of one of these donuts and threw the rest away. Sadly, the workers had not bothered to change the frying oil in a long time, so even the fresh old fashioned donut from this place, which was relatively inoffensive, suffered from an ever-so-slightly rancid flavor. The coffee was solid and they offered a lot of different options for it, such as milk and cream as well as the usual nasty French vanilla "creamer," which is the only reason that Chucks gets a second star. This business owner should radically restructure their business model to include quality over cost-cutting, because they would do better to use clean (and not soybean) oil, real ingredients without artificial flavorings, and authentic chocolate instead of whatever unpalatable garbage I experienced. They offer all kinds of superfluous menu items and they should really consider making better donuts. If I hadn't exchanged the first donut, I would have wasted money on 3 out of the 4 donuts. It is telling that rather than selling out, this business had inventory left from the day before, and they tried to sell it to me. Stan's donuts in Santa Clara often has to close early because they sell out hours before their 3PM closing time, and they don't do this disgusting quality compromise.

I've tried the original apple fritter, blueberry, and raspberry. They all have that delicious crisp exterior and super fluffy interior, without being dense. I also appreciated that they were not overly sweet, which is oftentimes hard to find in donuts. I still prefer the original apple fritter, but was surprised that I enjoyed the raspberry one quite a bit! There's a big ol dollop of raspberry jam in the middle, and streaks of raspberry throughout the fritter itself. The best thing about these fritters is that they're still delicious the following day. I went a little crazy with ordering and had plenty of leftovers. I popped them into the toaster and they were still pretty decent. The parking lot is tiny and so if you're here on the weekends, you'll likely need to wait for someone to leave. There's usually also a long line as well.

A+ except it did take them a long time to bring the check and we had to flag the guy down to get it. Otherwise attentive and the meal was reasonably well coursed. They let us split dishes and didn't give us a bad time about it. Food... Also an A+. I'm super picky and tend to not like to venture off the beaten path for different kinds of ethnic foods but everything here that we had was delicious. We split the salad with pear and goat cheese, and except for a couple of decayed pieces of spring mix, which is always a problem with that stuff it was delicious. The dressing was crisp and citrusy. We split the jambalaya with chicken and it was interesting in that it was basically a large scoop of rice with a good sized piece of chicken on the side, which you had to cut up, which is not how I've seen jambalaya prepared before, but it worked. The chicken was insanely good, and the rice also was very delicious, heavy on the bell peppers. We also tried the beef empanadas and the chimichurri sauce was insanely good. We wanted to get beignets, but they were out and none of the other desserts appealed to me so we didn't do dessert. We ordered a French 75 cocktail and the Pinot Noir wine and both were very nice )although pro tip French 75 are supposed to have a lemon peel in them and ours didn't). There is a parking lot and they also have a few tables outside although I don't think anybody would really choose to sit there since it's in the middle of the parking lot and the plants are too low to hide that fact. My friend and I meet regularly in the Redwood City area to dine out and this place is going to go into our regular rotation because it was that good. They were probably somewhere between a four and a five but I'm going to give them the benefit of doubt and give them Five Stars because we did enjoy our meal so much. You should try it!

Menu is priced high and portions small which may be why there's not many people. We got the crawfish etoufee which is mostly roux, very little crawfish or shrimp, and very little rice. Also on flavoring. We asked for no spicy, but they put in the spicy seasoning and no salt. I had to actually put in salt from a salt shaker myself. Also got a side of mushroom jambalaya which was also supposed to be 'not spicy' but was more spicy than the crawfish etoufee. Also it was pretty dry. Service was good and they gave us 2 mini corn bread muffins which were probably the best thing there. Growing up in Houston and having visited New Orleans several times, I have had my share of creole food. If you want anything close to real deal, this is not it...
