I wouldn't say I HATE it.  When I was younger, I ate it all the time because there was one down the street from my work when I lived in SoCal.  It is just not as good as the joints around it.  If someone gave me one I'd probably eat it.  But if I was to be in that area, I'd personally go to Nguyen Ngo in the same parking lot and then pick up a coffee at Lee's.  Lee's bread just isn't that great IMHO.  It becomes rock hard if you try to eat it the next day. 

I've never had Nguyen ngo, I'ma hafta try it now. Don's bread has changed over the past five years.  Used to be you could just pop it into the toaster oven next day and it'd be good but now you have to microwave it first and then into the toaster oven. And it's not as consistently dense, there are weird pockets where it just crumbles even fresh.
