It sells the best donuts in the South Bay. The taste, texture and high quality consistency of these babies puts them over the top. I'm partial to the glazed and my go to off the menu order is an omelette Croissant. Bell peppers , onions w or without cheese and a hint of buttery goodness makes this an early morning Winner at half the price of a...

Nice, local, family owned donut shop. They have all the "standard" donuts one would find - old fashioned, bear claws, french twists, cakes, etc. Friendly staff and reasonably priced. Always nice to take a morning walk and swing by for some...
