Update. I gave them another chance about a month ago. The owner is treating his wife respectively now and I appreciate it. Maybe calling him out in front of everyone helped. 😀
I know a lot of people love Dad's Donuts in Burbank, and I was one of those, but I can't support them anymore. I've seen the owner yell at his wife on occasion and it never sat with me right. Well today when I went in he was yelling in her face, pointing at her, and she was visibly shaking and I could tell she was scared. Most of it was in another language, but towards the end it was in English and what he said was not okay. This man is verbally abusive.
I was in a room full of other men and NO ONE spoke up so I did. I asked the younger man (who I assume is their son) why he yells at her like that and he told me, "it's none of your business." I immediately snapped back, "it becomes my business when he is yelling and belittling her right in front of me." He just shook his head and ignored. None of the other 6 men in the donut shop said anything. I was floored. I told the guy it is not okay and I would not be back.
Has anyone else experienced this? I feel like we need to boycott this business and/or stand outside and picket or something. Abuse in any form...

This all happened at 4:25 in the morning with no others waiting. I Paid 3.50 which he did not return and I have not been back since. If you are going there make sure you just accept what he gives since it seems you really do not have any choice in the whole...
Read moreDelicious! I am not a fan of doughnuts, but Dad's were surprisingly delicious - true bakery quality. The chocolate cream was like a fine desert and my favorite. The vanilla cream was also really good as were the apple (stuffed full of apple like a pie) and the chocolate buttermilk. Yes, I ate a lot because they were so good. I found this place by chance when searching for a doughnut place close to work as I wanted to treat my team this morning. They all agreed these were by far the best doughnuts they've ever had. I...
