La Verne Miss Donut and Bagel

Came today and had the Heavenly veggie sandwich which was recommended by Jessica B (fellow Unilocal reviewer). I must say, very tasty! Also tried their blueberry donut, delicious! Miss Donut and Bagel a hidden gem in La Vern.

I got up early went looking for fresh bagels it was about 5am. this place was near Paneras which was not open. I saw the light and went over. The smell when you walk in, incredible. The bagels were still warm and amazing in taste. The best jalepeno bagel i ever had. The service was fantastic.

We were at T-​Mobile and the store was hot, so I ran into the donut shop for drinks. I picked up my (29 y/​o) daughter’s favorite pink sprinkle donut cause she’s still a little girl at heart. The shop has a variety of baked goods and drinks that are better than the average donut shop.

What??? $ 2 for a large boba tea??? Fantastic. Sorry all you overpriced boba tea places, I am not spending $ 7 for something just as good close to home.
I never would have thought to come to this place had it not been recommended by the cool Panda Express cashier. Great boba tea, but I am sure people usually come to this place for their donuts and other pastries. I’m good with the boba tea :-).

Was looking for some breakfast and since I was looking for a breakfast sandwich and The Hubbs was also thinking about donuts, this place looked promising especially with the 4+ star rating.
The Hubbs went in while I waited in the car. He ordered a egg, ham, and cheese bagel sammy plus crumb and blueberry donuts, and a coffee. The Hubbs had a feeling that he was getting overcharged so he asked for a receipt. The (tall) guy behind the counter replied that they don’t give receipts. Ah, yes, that makes sense… it’s easier to jip people when there’s no proof.
C’mon, what kind of place doesn’t provide receipts?! First and last time we do business with you, Missy.

Thank you for the warm welcome. Once in a while I get an urge to eat donut. All the other donut shops were closed. So i stumbled upon this donut shop after going on a mission to have what I wanted to eat. I also purchsed a few of their bagels and they were delicious. I would rather buy from them any day instead of Panera.

Donuts are delicious! The coffee is watered down, not good (for me).

The family runs this place always seem so happy to help you and genuinely want you to enjoy their food. Their bagles are fresh, soft on the inside with the perfect crunch in the outside. All of their donuts are above average and of course, made fresh. They also make bagle sandwiches, smoothies and coffee. Definitely my go-​to donut place for work or for home.

Good donuts!

Donut dates are usually something reserved for me and my eldest son, who is six. Today, I had the joyous and rare occasion to take my two-​year-​old daughter out early in the morning. We had to pick something up in Upland, which is neither here nor there… But it put us on the slow boat back to Arcadia from the Inland Empire via Foothill Boulevard. I wanted the contents of my truck bed to stay in the truck bed… And not all over the 210 freeway.
Anyway, somewhere between there and here, my daughter announced that she would like a donut. Never one to turn down the opportunity for coffee, we started scanning strip malls to find a shop.
This is a functional and good-​looking donut shop. There is a pretty good selection, as well as blended drinks, bagels with various toppings, and a lunch menu. A glass front refrigerator cold case has several different drinks to choose from. There are two tables outside and plenty of seating inside.
My daughter went with some pink rainbow sprinkle thing, and I had my chocolate old-​fashioned. They were delightfully good and fresh. Coffee from the pump carafe thing was also just fine. My daughters chocolate milk was… Well it’s chocolate milk.
Interestingly, there is a group of older men who were meeting in the back. They were having conversations about the medical conditions, spouses, sharing photographs and stories of lives well loved. A cursory inspection of Unilocal revealed that they are a men’s Fellowship group that meets there every day. Very nice gentlemen.
I can’t say that I have many occasions to visit a donut shop in Pomona early on Saturday mornings. But if I found myself out that way again, I would certainly duck into this donut shop.

I love this donut and bagel sandwich shop. They always have a bag of dounut holes available at discount price in the afternoon. I like their begal sandwiches. They are made with Boar products. They don’t have a cheese and avacado sandwich on the menu but they make one for me. The employees are always friendly and quick. Plus, they are open during dinner hours! Awesome. I can still get a bagel sandwich for dinner when I’m in the mood.

Love their Taro with boba drink! Love that they open early and close at 9pm! And love that is justr right next door! The employees here are always friendly and awesome!

I really enjoy this shop! It’s spacious has seating area inside and out! They have a yummy selection of donuts and sandwiches (for breakfast or lunch!) Their bagels are also very yummy. This shop opens at 4 which works perfect for me on some days since I come in at 5 am at times :). I approve!

Following is a rebuttal to the earlier review that in general cast a bad light upon the «regulars» in Miss Donut and Bagels and in particular characterized the owner of a red Mustang as giving off «creepy vibes».
I am one of those regulars and I would like to clarify a few things-​first of all the regulars are a group composed mostly of veterans and other retired gentlemen. The owner of the red Mustang, a disabled Vietnam veteran, was merely objecting to the fact that a healthy young person had illegally parked in the one and only handicapped spot in front of the establishment, just to save themselves a few steps of walking from the parking lot. He could have called the police, who are seldom very far from a donut shop, to come and write the offender a parking ticket, since that person had no visible handicapped placard or sticker on their vehicle, but he is a kind man and refrained from doing that.
Miss Donuts and Bagels is a place where you can come and enjoy coffee and donuts, as well as excellent sandwiches and bagels. But most importantly, it is a place where you can enjoy the camaraderie of your friends while doing so. That’s what the «regulars» do on almost a daily basis.
That is why I am awarding Miss Donuts and Bagels 5 stars.

I have known the owners of this donut Shop for eight years. I was a customer of their previous donut shop. I am fortunate to be a member of a group of older guys who are there every day for their morning coffee and donut and conversation. I often go in again for a BLT for lunch. It’s always good.
The owners are nice… The customers are nice. Everyone talks to everyone. It’s the friendliest place in town. I am so grateful to the owners for allowing our group to spend a couple of hours there every day and stick our pictures on the wall… They deserve a medal… I am also grateful to the other guys who have made me a welcome part of their group…

Laid-​back little donut and bagel shop with a regular local clientele. They even have a «Men’s Therapy» group that meets at a back table to chew the fat (or bagel as it may be). Looks like possibly a group of veterans. I thought that was really cool, as well as the light panel on the ceiling with the American flag. Reminds me of little shops in Nebraska that I visited with my grandparents when I was a kid.
Decent donuts and even better bagels. Nice latte. Just a quaint neighborhood joint in which to enjoy a leisurly Sunday morning snack.

Freshly made bagels are my fav’ early morning :)

The staff here are very friendly and take great care in preparing your food. I love the fresh oj and toasted bagels are devine. The cheese omlette is big enough to share. The donuts — are donuts. :)
As other have mentioned, there are some «regulars» here and this is where the 4-​star rating comes in, as opposed to a five-​star. Some of the regulars give off a creepy vibe when they just sit and watch your every move. Also, be careful not to park in the spot next to the meridian — one of the regulars likes to park his mustang there and will stare you down with dirty looks if he can’t park it there.

I had to come back and give them another star.
I woke up discouraged this morning, which is a rare feeling for me and really bites me in the ass when it does manifest. It didn’t help that the cold morning air pierced my warm skin, or that the sky was various shades of muted grey. The painful ringing in my ear did nothing to alleviate my mood, either. (Ok fine, by ‘discouraged’ I may mean ‘hungover’).
The ‘Heavenly Veggie’ sandwich was even better than I remembered it. I dunno who comes up with the sandwich names at this place, but homey is on point with the «heavenly». But that’s not why I’m throwing them another star. It’s not even because their pet fly that seemed to always be buzzing in the donut case is MIA. Nope. It’s because of something I just witnessed.
The place was full of regulars, who have likely been having their morning coffee and donuts here for years. An elderly couple, all wrapped up in hand-​knitted scarves. Toddlers in fuzzy pj’s. People on their way to work, squeezing the last magical breaths out of a frosty morning, as they munch on blueberry donuts and sticky bran muffins.
And then her cherubic face, in soft pink pj’s, and a smile that dares the sun to show its’ rays. A proud father eager to share her light, he seeks out Kim, one of the 3 (or so) employees. And Kim gracefully makes her way out from the back, her smile widening as she sees one of her regulars, and then breaking out into a full on grin as she sees the baby girl in his arms.
He hands his baby over the counter to Kim, and all 3 of them are glowing. There was so much genuine warmth, kindness and love in that moment, that I couldn’t help staring. Couldn’t help wanting to capture it. That’s what you get here. You can expect good food, great drinks, and reasonable prices. But what will keep you coming back are the people and light that fill this place.
*****(If that’s your baby in the photo, and you’d like me to remove it, please send me a PM and I will immediately.)

SOLID place to get a bagel sandwich. I always get their «Big Bird» sandwich on a jalapeño bagel with extra sprouts, no mustard. I love that they put sprouts in their sandwiches, and they use Boar’s Head meat and cheese!
Donuts are cool as well. I like that this place is clean and that the people behind the counter are hella nice. I live in New York now, so no, this place isn’t your NY deli or bagel joint, but I think it means something if I’m in New York yet I still crave a bagel sandwich from this place all the time. So. Freaking. Good.
