Today we purchased new items to try and some old favorites! New items that we tried and are so good: the mango and guava pre-packaged señorita bread, a pre-packaged guava pastry (at the register) and bought 3/$12 ube malasadas. Our family definitely enjoyed everything and we are so happy we came in and were able to get our hands on these coveted heavenly carbs today!

We bought 10, and 3 malasadas. I do not have much of a sweet tooth, but the texture of the bread is so pillowy and light especially when warmed. I can definitely see how these can be addictive. The ube malasadas were great too, not too heavy at all.

It seems family owned and operated, and the folks there were very friendly and kind. I came by and picked up a few items for the next couple of days. Very reasonably priced. Transaction was easy and the pastries were good.

Prices are still affordable too - college student friendly prices. Location is unbeatable - right in University Village (and parking is free now, don't need validation), walking distance from UCR, and right next to the University Ave freeway entrance/exit. We both each got a Cheesecake Slice, Matcha for me & Blueberry for him, and we cut them in half to share. Both were really good! Great value - I think they were only $3.75 each slice! Service was good. Ambiance - it's small and tight so there's nowhere to sit. My friend and I went over to Qamaria to find a table to sit down at instead. Highly recommend this place and will definitely be back if/when I'm in the area again!

I knew I couldn't take one of each, that would be crazy. There were just too many to choose from. I finally decided on the Strawberry Shortcake (for me!), a Carrot Cake, the Lemon Lemon and the Salted Chocolate Caramel. Now that I got the goods, the next step is to get home as quickly as possible so I can enjoy these delights!!! Worth the wait! I took a bite of the Lemon Lemon and the Strawberry Shortcake...devine!

(: We were very grateful for that. I got the Italian Grinder with no red onions and substituted the ham for turkey. I chose the pasta salad as my side, and the sandwich also came with some kind of vinaigrette. The flavors were good, but I think the bread started to come apart near the end, and I personally wish the red peppers had more of a pickled aspect! I also got the Lemon Cheesecake Bar (?), which was yummy, but it does have nuts on top. I think a crumble topping would be even better instead. (: The inside feels a bit dated, but the employees definitely seemed to be keeping it clean. As customers came and went, they cleared the dirty tables pretty quickly. Overall, I'd give this place a 4/5, but 5 stars for the accommodation. :)

I came in at sort of an odd hour for lunch so the place was pretty chill and not too busy. Service style is fast casual where you order at the counter and find a seat. The place has a feel of having been there for a long time with large wood booths or separators. I ordered the grilled pastrami and Swiss sandwich and got it with their potato salad. The pastrami was griddled and has an old school flavor and style with some nice crunch from the sourdough. A great sandwich overall! Parking in the neighborhood wasn't too hard to find along the street and even if you need to park a block or two away, the neighborhood is nice to walk through.

The service is always friendly and welcoming, and everything here is great. The donuts are fresh and delicious, the drinks hit the spot, and they even have lottery tickets if you're feeling lucky. It's basically a one-stop shop for a good morning! They also offer breakfast specials, but the real deal is the donut specials. If I remember correctly, after 9 a.m. they offer two donuts for the price of one, which is an amazing value. Great service, great donuts, great drinks--what more could you ask for? If you're in the Riverside area, definitely stop by and check them out!

I only learned about the amazing donut places across California a few years ago, so anytime I'm in the state, my wife and I always grab some donuts. Now please, do NOT get Dunkin' or any fancy artisanal donuts when you are out here. Places like Donut Tyme are what you are looking for. Especially the maple bar, which I have yet to see any reasonable copy of in New York. So freakin' delicious, practically melts in your mouth. As for the ambiance, yes, it's not a fancy cafe-type place. But the woman serving us (I believe she's the owner) was very friendly. And there were two older men sitting there just talking, and we had a great conversation. So I've loved the vibe of locals coming here, sitting for a while, and eating delicious donuts. So when in Riverside, go to Donut Tyme and get a maple bar. And other donuts too.
