    I love this place on Sunday after church. Doughnuts are fantastic and still warm if you go early!
    My weekend must now.

    I honestly am not sure what just happened. Donuts are great. Just don't try ordering anything except boba tea or donuts...they will get all sorts of confused and it doesn't help that their menu is completely wrong and they have no clue what to do about that... ‍

    Tried ordering a coffee I saw on their menu while I waited for a friend and they looked at me like I was speaking an alien language. They just kept pointing to the boba tea menu saying that's what they had. When I finally convinced them I didn't want boba tea, they tried to charge me $5 for what their menu said was a $1.99 cup of coffee. When questioned, they said they were "told to charge" the other price. I had to point to the menu and literally read it out loud to her to explain that she was charging me too much.

    Our go to place for boba drinks. Try the mango boba drink -Delicious . The chai tea boba is good too but I wish the bobas on this drink were a bit sweeter. Family owned too,always a plus.  Owners are extremely sweet people.

    Picked up a dozen donuts...there is a large assortment!!  We grabbed a mix of all different kinds, including cake w cocoa pebbles, blueberry glazed, old fashioned, plain glazed, Boston cream...so many!!  And all were delicious!!  It's a fairly small little joint and they do offer other breakfast options (burritos, sandwiches, etc) which looked pretty good.  It's probably better as a takeout option, though when the weather is nice, there are some spots to eat right out front.  Staff were friendly (and patient) as we looked everything over and tried to make our choices!  Great little local spot for freshly baked donuts!!

    I've heard of rainbow donuts and had them at work occasionally when others would bring some in, so I was excited to make a stop in myself. I was curious to see that they serve other breakfast items besides just donuts, so we wanted to try it all out.

    It's a clean corner store within a strip mall. It was a Saturday morning and while the line of customers was consistent, most were getting donuts to go so there were plenty of tables available inside.

    Donuts: they have a great variety of donuts, cake and traditional style, with lots of topping choices including fruit loops and fruity peoples, or even gummy bear long johns. Great if you want to get an assortment of donuts that aren't super basic.

    Scrambled eggs: large portion, average taste, good price (only $3 for eggs alone).

    Breakfast Burrito: bacon, egg, cheese and potato. The burrito itself was huge, but consisted of mostly egg. It was pretty average, I'm not sure I'd order it again. It's nice that you have the option of some breakfast items that aren't sweets though to balance out your meal.

    The prices are extremely affordable. We got three donuts, a milk, scrambled eggs and a breakfast burrito for less than $14. And the portions are large when it comes to entrees.

    Staff working was very friendly and willing to help. Overall, I'd recommend this place for the donuts and would likely come back just for them. If we had just had donuts my rating might be slightly higher. The breakfast isn't horrible but is definitely on a more basic level.
