    We come in a few times a week since it's on the way to our kids school. Staff is always so sweet and friendly, our kids get lollipops every time we come in! Coffee and ham and cheese croissant are so good! The kids love their donuts! We love coming in and will continue to do so!! Highly recommend!

    Only place I've bought donuts for the last twenty years.

    OMG. Six weeks without a donut! They're back, looking well-rested and fit. Lemon-filled jelly donut for me

    Had a 4am craving, these donuts were so good, so fresh, soft! Classic flavors like the chocolate, glazed, sugar, buttermilk, cinnamon. Good chocolate nom nom! Sandwiches aren't on the menu, but he may have ham and cheese croissants on deck, just ask, and he'll also warm it up. They are good too! Good parking, clean donut shop, no homeless around. Owner is very friendly, known in the community, been here for many generations, has seen kids grow up now with their own kids. Mentioned he's also given a complimentary donut to homeless and requested they don't hang out and solicit near their place. Feels nice and safe to get a donut here at 4am when it's dark o'clock. For security purposes he'll lock the door, so just knock! Hours are 4am-2pm, they may occasionally stay open past that. Accepts cash, zelle, Venmo

    Donuts were good but the service stood out. Best service at a donut shop I've ever gotten if not best at any food place. My daughter loved this place. I don't live close I was just in the area, but I will be returning.

    We were getting our tires changed across the street ar Cruz Tire Service and saw a classic donut shop across the street, Amazing service and delicious classic old fashioned donuts! We got the old fashioned cinnamon and sugar and an old fashioned chocolate sprinkle. She gave us extra donut holes to try as samples. Amazing and friendly service, great experience!

    Love this place they have the freshest donuts! The father and the daughter are super nice, and always so friendly. They were to help us out with putting in a last minute BIG donut order for an event I was hosting. We ordered 27 dozen donuts for our donut wall, everyone raved about how fresh, soft and good and tasty. The donuts were. Thank you so much for providing the community with good donuts.

Each one is packed with flavor, making you wish you had ordered a dozen instead of just one or two. Given their size, I'd recommend two donuts per person. They bake everything fresh to order and offer a wide variety of flavors, and the staff is welcoming and helpful when recommending what to try. With plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, it's also a great spot to work remotely or catch up on emails. Also make sure to check out their cute merch items when you're waiting on your order!

What made them different is they used taro flour and cooked them in coconut oil. Some of their flavors were tropical. Now I can write about how the oil smell emanating from the store made me nauseous whenever I passed by during business hours. It's weird because I didn't think bad of the donuts themselves and could stand to eat them. I will say after having them on two prior occasions, they made an impression on me when they participated in the yearly Belmont Shore chocolate festival. They offered a freshly chocolate glazed donut. It was so delicious having it fresh as opposed to letting it sit and have later. Thanks for the memories! I won't forget you, Holey Grail!

I'm glad to see this is more of least a normal donut shop with real normal donuts. I'm tired of these new fancy donut shops specializing in "creative" donuts with all kind of crazy toppings like every sweet cereal you grew up with priced like at $5.00 a donut or something. I go in and can tell this is one of those Asian donut shops that opened all over down here in SoCal. I think they might be Cambodian, nothing against Asians making donuts, they're the ones that started using the pink boxes we all know. Asians make the best fried chicken, so why not donuts? I look at all the donuts in the cases and they seem like all the familiar ones. I order a dozen and just point to the ones I want. The even have bear claws. I got one of those just for me. There's croissant stuff too. Service is friendly and efficient. The interior is a little dated but I'm here for donuts, not a fancy date or something. I get the donuts and eat that bear claw on my way back to the hotel to meet up with my crew.

I got lucky- It was about a half hour before closing and there were no other customers. Cute little place! I was helped by Ilyas, the manager. What a stellar individual! I told him it was my first time, and my preferences (not big on frosting, but like interesting flavor combos) and he walked me through the different types. I was happily surprised to see that they carried some traditional donuts as well as the frosted themed ones! I found that this shop was related to Simones donuts which is a great business! They even do cookie tins and caramels. A couple of the special edition donuts looked so decadent and flavorful but more like a dessert that I commented. He then brought out for me one that was a brand new item and it sounded perfect- a sugar donut topped with strawberry mascarpone encircling a pandan center and I had to get it. He even let me have my themed matcha donut without the fancy little emblem for $1 less! So nice. Those, with a biscoff donut and a logo pin completed my purchase. The pandan topping was sweet but the mascarpone was reminiscent of a strawberry yogurt and the flavors blended perfectly. The other donuts were huge, fluffy and perfectly textured. I would have liked a stronger biscoff and matcha strawberry flavor in those crumbles but at least they were not sweet! Just delicious. The prices are fairly high but I will definitely stop by occasionally to see what delicious creations they are whipping up and get myself a treat!

The coffee shop is cute and has a number of cronuts and donuts to choose from. They also have croissants and savory croissants- like ham and cheese.

We got 3 cronuts, a ham & cheese croissant, a black sesame Vietnamese coffee, and a regular Vietnamese coffee. Everything was insanely good. I will say Vietnamese coffee is typically strong and sweet. It's nice here because you can control your sweet level, they have a whole sliding scale so as to make your coffee just right.

Going down the list of donuts/pastries we shared: -Creme Brûlée Donut: Nice brûlée shell and the custard was sweet and creamy. -Guava Cream Cheese Cronut: Loved the guava cream cheese frosting which wasn't too thick nor rich, but I wish the pastry itself was flakier. -Croissant Bomb with Jalapeno: Meaty and buttery. It's nice that they can warm it up for you. I felt like there was only sausage in here and there was a lack of ham and bacon. Not really worth almost $11 in my opinion. While the donuts/pastries were generally good, I felt like the donuts would've been better if we came and tried them at opening at 5am. That fresh element was missing and the donut quality tasted and felt like they were sitting out for a while. There's a good amount of free parking in the lot in front of the shop. They also have some tables and seating to enjoy your pastries and drinks at. I'm unsure if I would go out of my way to come here again, but this is a solid donut spot for sure.

Tons of board games, books and wonderfully mellow music helps make the experience feel comforting and inviting. Our drinks were prepared quickly and shouted at the coffee bar for pickup.

Tender and a bit dry not my favorite donut ironically because of the strong cinnamon taste but it's me the donut was fine occasionally I like to try this variety of cinnamon donut to see if I can find one that I actually like. 7/10 Glazed donut This donut was the bomb it was tender moist and flavorful and when I bit this bad boy I tasted notes of vanilla it was divine and is one of my all time favorite donuts. 10/10 Jelly donut Standard jelly filling was ok but the donut itself was the king it was tender and tasty just like the glazed donut that I loved. 9/10 They have quite a few donuts that I would love to try including drinks smoothies coffee and menu items I definitely will be back and recommend that you give them a try. The owners are Cambodian and I bonded with Kim over my love of the people and food she's very kind y'all and talkative just like me. ; ).

    I left this place running for my car…read more The location is in a rough area of town, so while the donuts were edible, I felt compelled to issue a quick heads up warning for any unsuspecting newcomers. As I entered the parking lot I witnessed a lady hanging out of the window of a car missing a rear bumper, cursing at a minivan that looked like it had recently been involved in a series of hit-and-run crimes. I'm unclear what occurred before I got there, but kept my head down and quickly parked and scurried inside. The entrance had cardboard on the ground laid out like some sort of Oscar the Grouch red carpet. There were two people sitting at the middle two tables with portable shopping carts filled with assorted belongings. The interior matched the rest of neighborhood with random stuff laid out on counter tops, and a general dirty feeling that made me consider whether I wanted to buy food here, but I was already inside. There was a single woman working the counter. She was polite and matter of fact. I had promised my kids donuts, so I ordered my box to go. While she used appropriate tongs to put them in the box, she didn't bother to fully close or seal the box. Just looking to get out of there as quickly as possible, I headed immediately back to my car but was followed by an unknown man shouting at me asking if I could spare a dollar. I quickly fidgeted for my keys and pulled the door closed and locked it behind me. This was at 9am. I cannot imagine this place late at night. The donuts were basic and not overly sweet, more of a fried bread. My kids ate a few bites of each but it wasn't worth the stress of getting them.

    I ordered a couple of 6.99 dozen donut boxes from Too Good to Go for an employee's return.
