A million points for opening at 5am and serving breakfast burritos near LAX. Extremely limited options at that time. Located in a small shopping center in El Segundo, I was thrilled to know that I wouldn't be stuck eating a frozen McDonald's or Starbucks sandwich. The place is clean and service is excellent. First thing that caught my eye was the fresh Apple Fritter & Bear Claw selection at pre-Covid prices. Breakfast burrito was on the smaller scale but it also is 3-4 dollars cheaper than nearby options. Cut in half and easy to eat with little to no bacon grease pouring out. In my opinion for a 5-7am breakfast burrito option in the area, theres no need to go elsewhere. read more

$2-$3 for a donut is insane to me. We really in rough times if that's how much I'm going to pay for a donut. So, I'll pass. I'll just say the coffee is good. Pretty solid bold flavor with the iced coffee. The star of it all is the bagel sandwich. Paid close to $20 for a coffee and a John Wayne. Portion was huge and very tasty. Service was really good and friendly. Definitely a place to come to if you're looking for a solid breakfast sandwich. read more

Stopped in for a couple of donuts on my way to work. Tried YLS bakery on main street in El Segundo for the first time. They had just opened and weren't set up for the day yet. Tried 2 cinnamon rolls. $6 , so $3 each. Seems a little pricey. Ate one at work and gave the other one to the kid who was working with me. They were fair, not great. I probably won't return for okay donuts at a slightly high price point. Customer counter area was well lit and clean. Ordered from the counter and paid the cashier for my donuts. read more

Their donuts and pastries are by far the best I've seen in this area (or frankly most areas) we've ever been. They taste even better than they look, which is high praise indeed! We originally came in for breakfast sandwiches on our way to a job site. The sandwiches we're warm and gooey & exactly what we needed. But we could not resist the donuts. Grabbed a dozen for the crew and we were their superheroes for the day! Have made multiple stops back there since then. What a lovely local shop with great employees and a wonderful product. Absolutely worth seeking it out! read more

I am a donut expert and aficionado. As soon as a donut is in my hand, I have a good idea if it's gonna' be good and if it's worth the calories. What you wanna' look for in a donut or any other donut like variation, such as an apple fritter, bear claw, fried cinnamon roll, etc, is the weight. If if feels heavy, that's generally not good, because it's too oily. The next thing you do is take just one bite and and keep it in your mouth for a bit before swallowing it to get a taste of the oil. If it's oily or stale, you are not getting your calorie/enjoyment ratio which equals to, not worth the calories. I can assure you, the donut creations here are worth the calories and there's no oily taste to be found! I had a bear claw, and it was packed to the gills with apple filling. Holy smokes, was it ever good! My friend had a breakfast sandwich that I had a hard time not stealing from her. It was awesome! They also have an espresso bar and plenty of other things to drink. The prices are on par with any donut shop, which was surprising, because this place is more premium. Parking is plentiful and free, and the staff is awesome! I'm writing this review in October 2025, and it's a soft opening. So far so good! read more

A great looking assortment of bagels, donuts, croissants, other baked goods, and breakfast items. Got the LAX burrito and was pretty satisfied with it. Not the most tasty or amazing burrito I've ever had, but certainly nothing to sneeze at. $14 seems like a reasonable price. Service inside was friendly and expedient. Lines can back up to the outside during peak times on weekends. Definitely worth a visit. read more

I discovered this place by accident while I was out on a walk and decided to stop in for a coffee. I'm so glad I did. Everyone working there was incredibly kind, welcoming, and friendly. It instantly felt like one of those neighborhood spots where people genuinely care about their customers. The coffee was excellent, smooth, fresh, and exactly what I needed on my walk. On top of that, the manager, Juan, went out of his way to show genuine hospitality, which truly made my day. Great coffee, great donuts, and even better customer service.

I've been here a few times since they opened and we have not had a place like this here in El Segundo before. Top-notch breakfast burritos, pastries, croissants, ham and cheese croissants, donuts, bagels and everything in between. Very very good all in a like-new and clean setting. Parking in the small shared lot can be tough especially during peak hours but there's easy street parking and parking within the vicinity as well. read more

Love this place go just about every day. Normally they have some of the best, if not the best, coffee around. Not today. Don't know if they changed brands or didn't put enough coffee in the brewer, but it was bad. Started work and made a pod coffee instead.... please fix the coffee. The donuts were still amazing as always. Best in Los Angeles easily!!!! Still gave 5 stars for the donuts but if they don't fix the coffee that'll change. read more

Was our first breakfast in LA area. Incredible burritos, donuts, pastries, and coffee. Great spot, open at 7.

Finally got to try the donuts here and the bear claw filled with apple filling, was the softest and most pillowy donut I've ever had! It was a masterpiece of donuts. Then the apple fritter was perfection, crispy, apple-y, cinnamon-y, just delicious! Finally the apple turnover was the best turnover too. Next visit will definitely include the Bavarian cream filled! read more
