We had visited the mall about 2 weeks prior to trying it because the line was so long the first time we saw it. This time we were among the first customers in line on a Sunday, we had lined up about 15 minutes before opening. We tried several flavors: the Strawberry Milk Cream, Dubai Chocolate and Raspberry- all were good- not too sweet. The only criticism I had was that because it's a cafe and we were with a couple of younger kids, it would have been good to have a few more drink options. Overall it was a yummy experience.

IT'S AMAZING!! I never usually write reviews, but it's so yummy! I really recommend this place! I got the strawberry and cream and it's ⭐amazing⭐ Donuts are nice and fluffy and not covered in oil like any other donuts! And the cream with the jam is yummy! Strawberry matcha is the best! It has the perfect amount of strawberry, and it's so fresh and flavorful. The place itself is an adorable lil cafe, but the line may get long, but so worth it. Plz come before 2 pm because they may run out of donuts by that time.

Famous Donuts from Korea, heard the line was crazy during the opening weeks, passed by today and see very few people towards end of day hours, not many options left, but still would give it a try. Strawberry Crème is Asian standard, no too sweet, and the cream is good, donut body is good, but not outstanding. Chocolate is ok, a bit thick best pair with a milk based drink. Matcha is just ok too, very strong but on the bitter side, could be smoother. Overall staff was friendly century city mall is as usual my favorite. I think the donuts are good, still could give it a try.

I love the donuts here, especially their vanilla flavor. They’re not too sweet, and they pair well with black coffee. The staff were friendly, too. I would love to return if it weren’t so out of my way. I hope they open more shops in other locations.

Despite being open until the evening, those having been here must know most times they're sold out of everything super early and typically there's long line to get one. The tagline of 'Not Too Sweet' surely suited the doughnuts as that's indeed how all of them turned. I tried Dubai Chocolate, Tiramisu, Matcha, Banana Kick, Fresh Strawberry Milk, and obviously their signature Milk Cream. I'd say enjoying it fresh would be best to get the best fluffy and moist texture. Probably unpopular opinion but I preferred the Dubai Chocolate which came with more flavors and extra texture from the crunchy knafeh over the classic Milk Cream one, which was tad bland for me. Tiramisu and Matcha were prolly my next two.

Updated review: I tried one Milk Cream Donut (most popular item on the menu) and one Vanilla Donut. Texture was very fluffy and cream wasn’t too overwhelming sweet. It was good but it’s not worth waiting in a long line. Also, I was disappointed with their packaging as the bag ripped and the cream got all over my car seat. For any to go cream donuts, they need to serve them in a box, not in a paper bag. Old review: What kind of donut shop doesn’t open until 10:00 AM? Bring back Randy’s donuts please.
