    Hola! Hey there! Thank you for your great customer service. I walked in to get a valentines heart chocolate glazed donut. BTW it's bomb! Thank you Mario! Tell your brother good job on the baking! So tasty and melts in your mouth! It's family owned! Love this. Let's support our town honey luvs

    The quality of the donut is unmatched, per usual Winchell donuts!! Unfortunately, the young lady behind the counter was having a less-than-good day. By her attitude it was, I can only imagine one of her worst days ever. As I was placing my order she interrupted every part of my ordering....it's a donut shop... I know... I get it. Maybe I don't...customer service?...no worries, It's a donut shop..... . She was caffeinated and wanted to hurry up and get my order, but in her haste, she got it wrong. I ordered a dozen and a half. She raised her voice with me while I was paying, explaining she had worked there since she was a little girl and always called a certain donut a plain donut. I called the cake donut by another name. She communicated hostility during her explanation. I thanked her for clarification but I had evidently rubbed her the wrong way. It's a donut shop... how hard is it to enjoy the 2 minute interaction with your customer while they place their order. Obviously, every single person that walks into a donut shop, let alone a Winchell's, has joy in their heart and is happy!!! I was. My goal is to bring Joy to my Dr's office!! Customer service is a dying art. Unfortunately, I will shop elsewhere when the need for donuts arise

    Perfect pit stop before a roadtrip this weekend, 5am all shelves full of fresh, fluffy, still warm donuts. We kept it simple with custard filled and coconut, both amazing, good service and so cheap, paid just over $1 for both. Not gourmet, but cheap, tasty and holds you through till your next stop.

    a variety of donuts

    I'm from Lakewood, CA and every time I'm headed up North, I just have to make a stop for some fresh donuts. The owners are always friendly. I'm not a donut lover but this place is the best!!!

    We went after 9pm and so the donuts were hard and cold. I asked if he had anything fresher, but he said no. The hot chocolates were from one of those quick machines, probably water based, but the kids drank like they were the best ever. Customer service was great so I have to give 3 stars .

    Fresh donuts!

    There are new owners, but the food quality is still high. One of the few places you can get fresh-squeezed orange juice. Wonderful.

    This seems to be the only Winchell's in the high desert but it was less than 10 minutes from the freeway exit.

    This was our first visit to Solo Brew & Roasters in Apple Valley, and now I understand why it's so…read morepopular. We stopped by around 11:00-11:30 a.m., thinking the morning rush would be over, but the place was still packed. After trying it, I can definitely see why. They had already sold out of all their pastries, which says a lot about how busy they are, but the coffee was amazing. I ordered the iced maple salt latte with oat milk, and it was so good. My son got the bourbon caramel latte, and he loved his too. The shop itself is small, but there is plenty of seating both inside and outside. What impressed me most was that there were only two employees working, and they handled the crowd incredibly well. They kept things moving, acknowledged customers as they came in and when it was their turn to order, and were still kind and friendly. The café was also very clean and well kept. For there to be only two people working and the crowd they had at 11 o'clock, I'm sure it had probably been busy all morning. Even so, everything was clean and organized. Great coffee, great service, and a welcoming atmosphere. We will definitely be back.

    I like this place! I've tried a variety of drinks, and I have to say I do prefer the hot drinks. I…read morewould recommend the cappuccino and the London fog. Also, I would say this place probably has the best cafe matcha in the High Desert. Compared to everywhere else, the matcha flavor is strong and smooth, but it does taste homemade. The taro latte could use a lot of work. It tastes like melted vanilla ice cream. It can take a minute to get your drinks and order, but I think it's totally worth it to support the local businesses.

Her personality is infectious, she's friendly, attentive, and genuinely made the whole visit feel special. Give that woman a raise! On the food side -- wow. The Perks Panini was amazing, seriously one of the best I've had. Perfectly pressed, great flavors, no notes. And then there was the 32 oz carrot cake drink... out of this world doesn't even cover it. I don't know how they packed that much flavor into a cup but I was not complaining. I could drink that every single day. This place has great food, great drinks, and even better people. Perks has officially earned a regular customer. Highly recommend!

She saw us walk in, and it took about 5 minutes before she acknowledged us and said she'd be with us. We honestly didn't mind waiting at first, but while standing there we could hear her personal conversation on the phone. At first we thought it was work related or maybe she was taking an order, but she was actually giving someone directions on how to post photos on her damn IG .SMH. When she finally took our order, one of my friends asked questions about the drink she wanted, and the employee was pretty short with her answers. My friend ended up getting what seemed like strawberry milk instead of the coffee drink with strawberry foam/syrup she expected, so unfortunately her drink was kind of a mess. Me and my other friend got the Seattle Freeze, and that was actually really good super delicious. We sat down and about 10minutes later she went right back on the phone. Another customer came in a couple with their kid and this time she clearly saw them walk in. The customers stood there waiting and looking at her, but she still didn't acknowledge them. Then she says whoever she was talking to on the phone..." Oh...customers just walked in" when the customers had literally been standing there already watching her. This is unprofessional ..customers were not a priority at all. The wait itself wasn't the issue, it was more the fact that she didn't seem to care.

    It was my first time coming here and it will be my last, what a dissapointment. I do not give bad…read morereviews lightly let me just say that. I drove 45 minutes to get here to try it out. Placed my order online, I am a very anxious person so knowing before hand made it easier for me, so I loved they had that option, when I get there, walked over to the pick up area, and the worker just says "we are out of the cheese sandwich" no greeting, no apology for the inconvenience, nothing else, so I just stood there, and I asked "ok can I substitute it for anything else?" She says I can get 2 breakfast sandwiches to compensate the price, ok I pick my options and wait, at this point everything was ok, I did think the customer service was definitely not there but I dont like judging based on a first time. I get my sandwiches and go to my car, the coffee was pretty good, I am going to be honest, I got the iced coffee with coconut and maccadamia, so since I drove 45 minutes, I decided to placed another order of the same coffee because I had almost finished it, placed the mobile order, and walked in to wait in the tables with the AC, email said my order would be ready in 15 minutes, theres literally no one there, So I wait the 15 minutes and nothing, so I walked to the pick up area so they can see me because at this point I notice theres literally no one in the front, so Im thinking they probably forgot about my order, I go over to the counter, to kind of peek to see of theres anyone I can get their attention, when I notice a coffee just sitting there, I go over to check and it is my order, no one told me it was ready, they saw me sitting there waiting and at no point did anyone say "oh your coffee is actually ready" this is my first time, I dont know their dinamics, usually in any coffee place they call your order or name to let you know its ready, but nothing, so Im just waiting there, I dont know how long the coffee has been there, It was a huge dissapointment. I was actually so excited to try it, I mean I drove 45 minutes to get here, I was very surprised with the type of service at this establishment, the drinks might be ok, but unfortunately this experience would not make me come back here and rather take my business elsewhere. I have never experienced this type of awful customer service anywhere. And this is the reason for my negative review.
