Usa Donuts Croissants - El Monte

I pass by this place for years and one day I decided to just try it out. The ice coffee is bomb!! The portion is great and it's not too sweet either. They usually have a big jar ready in the fridge so they can pour it out and serve it in seconds. The sandwiches are not too bad either although the menu for the sandwich is a little confusing but after ordering the first time it gets easier. Basically you pick the fillings (ex: eggs and bacon, eggs and ham etc. and then the type of bread. You can go with croissant, bagel and the last one is some kind of regular bread.I haven't tried the donuts but judging from the other reviews they are decent.

Stopped by on my way to Sam’s. It’s not even 10 am and most of the donuts are gone so you know they’re fresh. Got me a half dozen and they put them in the pink box. Nice! My donuts won’t be squashed together in a paper bag like most other shops. I chose a crumb donut and the lady asked how many I wanted, there was one left so I asked if there were more in the back, to which she said “No more.” (Insert side eye emoji here) LOL. Got some of their mini croissants too 4 pieces for $1.50. Dusted with cinnamon sugar. These were too sweet for me but would go perfect with black coffee. Service was fast as there were suddenly more customers after me.

Well let's start. Went in today for two ham and cheese croissants and coffee. I am a paying customer. Asked to use the restroom. They said in Cambodian which I understood but can't say back. Just lie to them and tell them the water don't flush.

Good: friendly staff and fresh donuts. Bad: donuts aren't the best for your health. Moderation is the keyI love this place because it's where the locals go. it's my go-to donut shop. Has all the classics: donut holes, bars, twists, custard, buttermilk, rolls, claws and fritters. All made freshly the morning of. On top of that I've been coming here for other breakfast items as well like their sandwiches and ham and cheese croissants. Been frequenting this place for years but I never got the names of the ladies who work the front or the guy who makes the donuts in the early morning. But I feel as if they're distant cousins. They always greet me warmly and serve me with a smile. Can't ask more from the humble donut shop.

They have little churro croissants that are a favorite at gatherings. Enjoy and eat at your own risk because they're addictive! Call and order ahead of time!
