I’m happy to leave a review for this coffee shop. I stopped by for a regular large coffee and got a cinnamon donut, and I was very satisfied. The coffee was rich and aromatic, without any bitterness—exactly the kind you want to enjoy slowly. The cinnamon donut was soft, fresh, and just the right level of sweetness, a perfect match for the coffee. The place has a pleasant atmosphere, everything is clean and well maintained, and the staff is polite and works quickly. A big plus is the convenient parking, so it’s easy to stop by on the way. This is definitely a place worth coming back to again.

Universal Donuts is a small coffee-donut shop located on small plaza by Santa Anita ave and the 10 freeway. They offer a wide variety of sandwiches, donuts, coffee, smoothies and juices. I came here on a cloudy Friday morning to grab breakfast. It’s atmosphere was welcoming and was greeted by a friendly staff, a young dude. I ordered Vietnamese Ice coffee, glasses donut and item #7, a Turkey, egg, avocado and bacon croissant sandwich. Sandwich was soft, warm and tasty. Similarly, their donut and ice coffee tasted good. Service was moderately fast. Staff were attentive and amiable. Prices were really affordable and competitive. Parking lot was small but I had no issue finding a spot. Overall I had a nice order experience and food/drink. I highly recommend this place if you’re in the area.

It's a small cozy doughnut shop. Very clean and very attentive to customers. I paid about $9.50 for 1 small coffee, 1 small hot chocolate, and 2 doughnuts (coconut doughnuts and plain).
