Once we finally found it again, we were so happy, and we've been regulars ever since. These are honestly some of the best donuts I've ever had. They are light and airy without feeling empty, but still have enough substance to be satisfying. The sweetness is perfectly balanced, and they always taste fresh. A lot of donuts can be too dense, overly sweet, stale, or so airy that there is barely anything to them, but these are the perfect balance. The women who work here are always incredibly sweet and welcoming, and the atmosphere is warm and pleasant. We've been meaning to leave a review for a while because we genuinely love supporting this place. We are definitely loyal customers now!

I was out driving around here in Long Beach early this morning and saw this donut shop. I know my…read morecrew would really love me more if I brought them some fresh donuts this morning. I'm glad to see this is more of least a normal donut shop with real normal donuts. I'm tired of these new fancy donut shops specializing in "creative" donuts with all kind of crazy toppings like every sweet cereal you grew up with priced like at $5.00 a donut or something. I go in and can tell this is one of those Asian donut shops that opened all over down here in SoCal. I think they might be Cambodian, nothing against Asians making donuts, they're the ones that started using the pink boxes we all know. Asians make the best fried chicken, so why not donuts? I look at all the donuts in the cases and they seem like all the familiar ones. I order a dozen and just point to the ones I want. The even have bear claws. I got one of those just for me. There's croissant stuff too. Service is friendly and efficient. The interior is a little dated but I'm here for donuts, not a fancy date or something. I get the donuts and eat that bear claw on my way back to the hotel to meet up with my crew. Yes, they were surprised to have nice donuts, so nothing like a happy crew to make them get the work done.

The service is great, it is so inexpensive and it is busy on the weekends for sure. The ambience gives nostalgic vibes, and I am into that. Parking does suck, so be mindful of that. The matcha and maple are my favorite. Also, they have a great selection of vegan baked donuts. MUCH BETTER THAN GOOD TIME donuts for sure.

I'm more of an old school donut gal, but I had walked by this shop so many times and was craving a…read moresweet so I stopped in. I got lucky- It was about a half hour before closing and there were no other customers. Cute little place! I was helped by Ilyas, the manager. What a stellar individual! I told him it was my first time, and my preferences (not big on frosting, but like interesting flavor combos) and he walked me through the different types. I was happily surprised to see that they carried some traditional donuts as well as the frosted themed ones! I found that this shop was related to Simones donuts which is a great business! They even do cookie tins and caramels. A couple of the special edition donuts looked so decadent and flavorful but more like a dessert that I commented. He then brought out for me one that was a brand new item and it sounded perfect- a sugar donut topped with strawberry mascarpone encircling a pandan center and I had to get it. He even let me have my themed matcha donut without the fancy little emblem for $1 less! So nice. Those, with a biscoff donut and a logo pin completed my purchase. The pandan topping was sweet but the mascarpone was reminiscent of a strawberry yogurt and the flavors blended perfectly. The other donuts were huge, fluffy and perfectly textured. I would have liked a stronger biscoff and matcha strawberry flavor in those crumbles but at least they were not sweet! Just delicious. The prices are fairly high but I will definitely stop by occasionally to see what delicious creations they are whipping up and get myself a treat!

After trying the doughnuts my husband and I got on Saturday, here is my review…read more I got the Studio Ghibli collab doughnut. Per the flavor sheet, it said the flavor was cookies and cream. The flavor WAS NOT cookies and cream. It was a regular doughnut with chocolate frosting and design on top. I thought there would be filing inside of cookies and cream or the frosting at least, but no. I think these doughnuts are just for the aesthetics. The only reason I'm giving 3 stars was because the apple fritter my husband got was good. I tried a few bites and it was very tasty. You get the taste of apple. And the crunch from the exterior with it being light and fluffy on the inside. I'm disappointed because I've been wanting to try this place out for the longest time and my doughnut did not exceed my expectations.

We stumbled across Knead Donuts while we were in the area and decided to give it a try. So glad we…read moredid because this place is truly a hidden gem! We tried the Peach Cobbler, Banana Pudding, and Lemon Poppy donuts, and all three were excellent. The donuts were soft and fresh, the toppings were generous, and each flavor actually tasted like what it was supposed to be. The Peach Cobbler was probably my favorite -- warm cobbler flavors with plenty of peach topping. The Banana Pudding was creamy without being overly sweet, and the Lemon Poppy had a really nice lemon flavor. I also ordered the Zombie Coffee with banana cream. If you like your coffee STRONG, this is the one! The banana cream added a nice sweetness and flavor without taking away from the coffee. What really impressed me was the selection. We didn't get there until around 2 PM, and they still had a large variety of donuts that looked fresh. A lot of donut shops are pretty picked over by the afternoon, so that was a huge plus. Service was excellent. Everyone was very nice, welcoming, and helpful while we were deciding what to order. One thing to know: there is no restroom available, so keep that in mind if you're planning to sit and enjoy your donuts and coffee. Great flavors, fresh donuts, strong coffee, friendly service, and plenty to choose from even later in the day. We found this place completely by accident, but we will definitely be back!

A very welcoming vibe upon entry, we were greeted by a friendly couple who answered our questions about popular drink flavors. We decided to go with a Hot Cinnamon Dulce Latte and an Iced Blueberry Lavender Latte. While waiting, there were plenty of chairs, tables, a comfy couch and even a bar area to sit and relax. Tons of board games, books and wonderfully mellow music helps make the experience feel comforting and inviting. Our drinks were prepared quickly and shouted at the coffee bar for pickup. The presentation was great, but the flavors, out of this world! The Cinnamon Dulce Latte was OUTSTANDING. So good, in fact, that my girlfriend stole it from me! Not to worry, her Blueberry Lavender Latte was also top-notch, with a smooth, not-to-sweet flavor combination. Friendly staff (which comes with occasional karaoke renditions from the Bluetooth speakers), a chill vibe and outstanding drinks make this a top spot in the area for hardcore coffee lovers. Check them out!
