I've been coming to Knead Donuts, and every visit feels like a special treat. Their Vietnamese coffee is truly the best--smooth, bold, and made just the way I love it. It's the perfect drink to start the day. They offer different strength levels--Regular, Kneaded, and Zombie--so you can choose how much caffeine kick you want. The Strawberry Shortcake donut is something I always look forward to. Fresh is always amazing ! This place is truly a gem! read more

I have been coming to Knead since before the pandemic when they had one location on 7th Street and "Zombie Style" Viet Coffees were part of the secret menu, but they definitely have priced me out at this point. Stopped by on 4th of July (actually, super stoked they were open) and tried a new donut, the Mango Sticky Rice donut. $5 for the donut and not sure, maybe a premium charge on top of it because of what it was? Final total on the register was $8.88 (without tip) for one donut and no drinks. That is 3 apple fritters at another spot, which I DO NOT mind paying, if there is something high quality or fantastic about the donut I am eating, which this was not. It was a simple raised yeast donut base with a scoop of rice on top, green food dye, fresh mango chunks, and some coconut shavings. I thought there would be something on the inside (more mango filling or a cream) or something different about the dough (tiny mango pieces inside, a different spice), but it was like another plain donut with things placed on top. One of those things being simple rice. Definitely felt like the donut didn't justify the price. What if I bought 3 different donuts and a drink. Would it be $25? Not enough of a flavor difference for me to pay that next time. read more

We were getting our tires rotated down the street, so we decided to go on a morning walk to get some breakfast. Upon entering, the two women in the donut shop were so helpful and happy that we were there to eat and kill some time. They definitely made our first visit special and gave us some tips on how to order our coffees since we didn't want to be wired. I ordered a ham and cheese breakfast croissant, and it was yummy. Not flaky, which made it even better. I also ordered a regular vanilla traditional Vietnamese coffee. It was perfect and not too strong. Also, the vanilla flavoring was subtle and not over the top. I also got a side of a strawberry shortcake donut, which was yummy but a bit sweet. Overall, great donut shop, clean, and great service. We will def be back! read more

What can I say about this place...its AMAZING!!! Gourmet donuts!!! I got the strawberry shortcake, guava, tiramisu and cube donut as well as the croissants with 3 meats and jalapenos. No coffee today cuz I had some earlier. So far I've only tried the strawberry shortcake and I'm VERY picky with strawberry flavor anything and bro it was delicious! The croissant was different the ham was cubed pieces of bacon and slices of sausages. It has a nice cheese ratio. Anywho I'd recommend this place if ur into fancy donuts and or love vietnamese coffee. read more

Cute, different-looking, & pricey donuts. Clean store with friendly staff. Maybe because I'm not a big fan of donuts to start with, I was not impressed with their donuts. They are donuts with different 'toppings' but nothing i will go out of ny way to purchase in the future. (Actually a friend got me the donuts this time so i didnt purchase them...) For the price & the taste, I prefer Japanese or Korean bakeries. read more

I have been wanting to try this spot since they opened. This morning I was up early 3a, looking at the website and deciding what i wanted to try. I love cinnamon rolls , but didn't want just a regular donut I could get anywhere. I got there about 7:50a. I was immediately greeted when i walked in, the place is bright and inviting. Lots of choices and pretty donuts. I couldn't decide. I ended up selecting a cinnamon roll . I wanted a hot coffee but they only a "drip" hot coffee and no hot specialty coffees. I selected the Zombie. I liked the description that it's 50% sweet and it's a popular drink. Marcus was helpful and cheery told me i could sip throughout the day, it's only 10:15a and it's halfway gone . They suggested I could get a box of 4 donuts for an estimated $20. I was firm and bought 1. I couldn't take the chance of eating them all. I will be back to try other donuts. read more

This is the newest Knead location by Costco Gasoline in Signal Hill. I've been several times to every Knead location in Long Beach and Cerritos. They've expanded all over the area and I've had everything on their menu. They have a few really great donuts. My favorite is their croissant donut with whipped cream and fresh strawberries. If I see their creme brulee donut, I don't pass it up. They have some really interesting flavor combos that are worth trying and I appreciate what they do with those. The donuts will cost $6 to $8 and I think they're worth it. My review would be higher if I based it on only those items. In the past, I was critical of some of their standard "glazed" and "blueberry" donuts costing $4+. (Note that their glazed donuts are now $3). I also thought it was distasteful to get promotional text messages about being able to get a dozen for "only $50" (or whatever it was). I felt that those texts were tone deaf and they highlighted exactly why I consider it a 3 star, "special occasion" spot. And, while there are some sure hits here, there are also some clear misses for me. Today, for example, I got a $9 jalapeno hot dog that they call the "spicy fluffy godzilla". It is a pretty substantial sized hot dog that they bake into some fresh bread. I love fresh bread; however, there has to be something else for me to want to spend $10 for it (factoring in taxes). I wouldn't be complaining if it had bacon, if it was a croissant dough, or if it were surrounded by scallion pancake dough. Anything to make it taste more than just a standard hot dog. The comical thing is that their neighbor is Costco, which sells a pretty famous $1.50 hot dog (drink inclusive). The fact is that if a doughnut or hot dog is to command more than $6, it has to be special and it has to be something I can't get elsewhere for cheaper. I respectfully give this criticism to the Knead team because I think they have a few great items; however, if they want to charge premium prices for some of these products, then that product needs to also be premium. read more

Knead Donuts & Tea - Donuts Near Me - Signal Hill, California

My partner and I love Knead and have had great experiences there in the past. We've even met the owner a few times, which is part of what keeps bringing us back for the amazing coffee and delicious pastries. This review is based on our most recent visit on Saturday, March 14, 2026, between 9:45-10:10 AM. We saw a BOGO deal for a ham pocket and asked the cashier about it to make sure we understood the promotion. She explained it to us, and we specifically asked for the BOGO deal when ordering. When we received our drinks and ham pocket, we noticed there was only one. We asked where the second one from the BOGO offer was, and she told us we hadn't asked for it. That was confusing since we had just discussed it while ordering. My partner and I try to be very respectful and avoid making a scene, but I did ask what the difference was between ordering it normally and ordering it as the BOGO. She said she needed to enter it differently in the system. At that point I didn't want to argue, so we just left. We still really enjoy Knead and hope this was just a one-off situation. If a manager happens to see this, it might be helpful to review the promotion with staff so customers clearly receive the specials they ask about. Also if we haven't asked for the BOGO should she had asked if we wanted to do it too because there was TWO of US? LMFAO It's so confusing she made my head hurt LOL read more

First time at Knead Coffee & Tea and I'll definitely be going back. If you're looking for great coffee and custom original donuts in Signal Hill, this spot delivers. The owner Huey and his staff were super friendly and welcoming, which always makes a difference. The Vietnamese coffee was one of my favorites. Strong, smooth, and customizable so you can adjust it to your sweetness level or add toppings. The boba milk tea was perfect! Not too sweet, just right, which I appreciate because a lot of places overdo it. The donuts and pocket ham croissant were delicious, and they had great specials going on too. If you're near Signal Hill or Long Beach and want a local coffee shop with solid drinks and unique donuts, this is a great find. read more

First time at this location! I frequent their Long Beach Store (PCH & Clark). Same great service and gourmet donuts! I love the creativity of their donuts! It's always a bit difficult to decide the selection is so inviting! I only needed two but chose four for two if us! Of course we could only eat one each as they are very filling. The other two were still.yummy the next day and that speaks very well of their freshness and quality (did not dry out). I selected the Guava (one of our favorites), Blueberry, Banana Cream, and Maple Bacon. All were excellent keven the two we ate as day old!). The Maple Bacon, how creative! Mini pancake and a tube filled with Maple Sryup. My husband really enjoyed that experience! Pricing. Some people complain that Gourmet Donuts are too expensive. A few weeks ago we were craving donuts and stuck out in Orange. The closest place was a large chain store. I spent about the same amount for four great donuts at Knead that I did for six crappy donuts at the chain store! It took two chain store donuts to fill.us each and the remaining two were too dried out to eat the filling day, compost bin! This store is not close by but next door to the Signal Hill Costco. Great treat after shopping! Def6coming back! read more

I read a lot of mixed reviews, so I needed to try Knead Donuts myself. Regarding donuts, our family isn't big on them frequently, nor are we into drink fads. So, with that being said, let's get into the review. I have attempted to stop by several times, and each time I was in the area, they were closed or not yet open. This location has been open for 5 to 6 months, the cashier mentioned when asked. You know there is a saying, "we eat with our eyes." I can definitely say I did just that, not knowing what to try first. As a unit, we love bananas, bacon, and strawberries. So with that, I solely ordered their maple and bacon, banana cream, strawberry shortcake, and a cinnamon roll. Once we got home, we sat down and tried all 4 donuts, taking a bite of each one. The banana and cream was a 10. I devoured the whole donut, not leaving anything for anyone else.tfhe maple bacon did quite do it for me nor did the strawberry shortcake. The cinnamon roll was for the hubby. Each donut brought it's own kinda flavor to the table. I intentionally went in to buy 2 donuts but left with 4 paying at $22.00 total Knead is a small location with one table inside no bathrooms available. Plenty parking that's for sure. Will I be back yes but I will not be a regular. I see sweets I gain weight. That's with most things. read more

Honestly the best donuts in Long Beach if you're bringing donuts to a function. They are not just your typical donuts, they are designed beautifully which makes it hard to even want to take a bite because of how beautiful they are! I recently brought them to a baby shower and I kid you not, I had several strangers come up to me to ask me where I got them from. Costumer service is always ready too! The only thing to keep in mind is that they are a bit pricey but they are worth the price! I typically get a breakfast sandwich and a Vietnamese coffee bi weekly before work. This is a must try! read more

Knead Donuts & Tea - Donuts Near Me - Signal Hill, California

Donut shops are ubiquitous in Long Beach, with one practically open at every corner during morning hours. Knead Donuts has carved out a niche for high end donuts/pastries, opening its original store in 2017, with their Signal Hill location (their fourth one) in 2024. For us, it's a special occasion donut place, so when my wife picked up my brother/me from the Port of LA (after finishing our back2back2back cruises) to go together to Las Vegas, she stopped by Knead to pick up donuts. They were really good. Reading a bit about their history, the owner was inspired to open the first one after having visited and inspired by Side Car Donuts (another gourmet donut shop in the LA area). But Knead definitely has a Long Beach vibe, taking advantage of the large Cambodian community (biggest outside of Cambodia) to initially gain critical knowledge of donut making, and emphasizing newness/freshness. Each of the gourmet donuts are $5, and she picked up some strong vietnamese iced coffee for the long drive to LV. The cronut was very good, large enough to share. We couldn't finish the rest, so ended up using them as a finishing enticement to get the best upgraded rooms we could when checking in (everybody loves donuts!). My wife and I have lived in Long Beach 'long' enough to have first hand experience of restaurant tenants in particular locations now In this case, the previous tenant was Chinese Combo, a fast food Chinese take-out that we frequented when making our periodic Costco/Costco Gas run. Really happy that the space was filled so quickly. Will need to visit their original location soon, to try some of their other donuts. read more

They had the cutest robot outside, advertising their Vietnamese coffee! When I went in, I was greeted warmly. They asked if i've ever been here before. I havent. After some suggestions, I browsed the doughnuts and decided on three. I also saw they had savory breakfast sandwiches as well. The donuts are very large, but also very fresh, so you will enjoy it. Would come again. read more

Knead Donuts & Tea - From top left clockwise: Dubai chocolate and strawberry, maple bacon and strawberry shortcake - Donuts Near Me - Signal Hill, California

This new location is one of their smaller ones. They still had Rosie the robot outside greeting people I did come pretty close to closing time, So Rosie didn't have any samples and there wasn't much to pick from These donuts are delicious, and if you ask me, they definitely have the best Cronuts (They are on the expensive side) but you can definitely taste the difference between good quality ingredients and cheap ones. And they have some unique flavors The woman working at the counter was extremely helpful. One of their donuts looked like it had filling in it, (I asked if there was filling in it) she said there was nothing inside the donut but it would only take her 1 minute to fill the donut (I declined) still, it was extremely nice of her to offer I ordered Fruit Cronut Strawberry shortcake Cheesecake (I got to pick between regular cheesecake or chocolate chip cheesecake And then I picked an Oreo cream Cronut. This was probably my favorite I saw the Ube donuts, which are absolutely delicious. But I wanted to try some that I never had before (I highly recommend the Ube one, though) They also had a little fridge with some drinks in it (run of the mill soda and water) They have amazing Vietnamese coffee here. I used to get it all the time. So I highly recommend it as well! Really excited that they have another location And they have great parking (it's in a huge parking lot with a Costco) P.S they don't have much seating inside. Only about 1-2 tables But I highly recommend and think everyone needs to come to a kneads donut which has become a Long Beach staple read more

Very sad about this! We wanted to love this place so much but the donuts are just not super tasty. The strawberry cronut had an odd plastic-y taste that my husband and I couldn't pinpoint. It was slightly chemical-y. We ended up tossing most of it - something I hardly do because I hate waste! The ube donut was lacking in ube flavor and the donut itself was cakey and not super moist. The kids liked the rainbow donut but it was nothing special tasting, it just looked cool. Their designs are amazing but taste was just not there. Got a Vietnamese coffee and that was good. Won't be coming back for the donuts, though. read more

I passed by Knead on a Tuesday morning to buy donuts to share with my coworkers. It was my first time there and upon hearing that she gave me a free sample and great recommendations! I ended up getting the Vietnamese coffee at 50% zombie and an assortment of strawberry swirl, glaze, and blueberry. Here's my thoughts on each item: - glaze: super light and fluffy. I do wish there was a little more glaze but that's just my sweet tooth preference! - blueberry: my personal favorite - cakey and has a great natural blueberry flavor to it. reminds me lot of M&M donuts in OC - strawberry: the flavor is subtle and the donut overall is more densely packed than the others. I didn't get a picture but the crossection is beautiful! - Vietnamese coffee 50%: apparently they are known for their coffee and it's solid! makes sense why so many people order this alongside their donuts I can definitely see myself coming back here and cannot wait to try their other flavors. It was so hard to pick since they all looked delicious. If you're in the Long Beach area, you KNEAD to try this place! read more

Popped in Easter Sunday to check out the new Knead Donuts location. Upon walking in, the staff members greeted me with genuine smiles and a hello! The space is efficient and clean. The good stuff: the gourmet cronut had a light, flaky layers, adorned with fresh fruit. This treat is sweetened to be enjoyed, the light shower of powdered sugar was delightful. Cheesecake donut also adorned with a fresh strawberry and chocolate chip cheesecake bite nestled on top of cheesecake frosting. This beauty has a different focus in each bite, depending on where you begin. I felt delightfully surprised by the strawberry filling - wow! My Vietnamese coffee was strong and sweetened at medium level, a nice complement to the donuts. It's great they are conveniently located next to Costco and near Mother's Market. read more

Stopped by the new location by Costco for a quick bite to eat, hoping we weren't reserved to donuts. We parked the car in the lot adjacent and alas!!! Croissant breakfast sandwiches! Delicious, buttery, flaky freshly baked croissants with egg, cheese, bacon or ham... have it your way. Vietnamese coffee is served with a strength option. I'm pretty sure the strongest one is called "Zombie" if I'm not mistaken. I will say that even the least strongest one will keep you up for a night or 2, so be wary.. however it is flipping delicious. Lovely service with a smile. Clean and bright space inside, with a couple of tables to sit. read more

I just want to say that the staff were amazing. I wasn't in love my first tea for some reason and they were happy to remake it. For some reason I didn't really like my second one either, but I wasn't going to torture these wonderful kids who were taking such great care of me. People came in for their pastries and donuts. Those are gorgeous and popular. Maybe it's me, but the tea here was just not my thing. read more

We tried the Godzilla w/ jalapeño and the zombie level Vietnamese coffee. The Godzilla is a sausage wrapped in a donut, basically a donut hotdog lol. It was good, just a little heavy for our taste as my husband and I are not used to eating deep fried foods anymore. I didn't try the other donuts cause hubs is not a huge sweets person, but next time! The Vietnamese coffee comes in a few diff sweetness levels. We did the zombie level, which is a level darker than "normal". Was the perfect sweetness for us, and VERY good! I can't really say it's the best viet coffee I've had, but it was delicious! We went at about 9:45am and I was one of two people in there. The service was good, friendly, and they even had a little robot marketing outside nice clean decor, no bathroom but I'd say if you really needed to, go use Costco's next door. read more

My husband and I decided to take a lunch break from work today and decided to grab a sandwich from Jersey Mike's. We finally visited this Cambodian donut shop that has been popping around Long Beach to Cerritos area. I remember visiting the shop in Cerritos during their grand opening and their tiger tail donut was really good. I wanted to get a tiger tail donut, the reason for our visit, but they ran out, so I got a Peach Cobbler donut- which was really yummy! All of their donuts looked amazing, but I just needed a little sweetness to get me through the day! We also had a chance to try their ham and cheese croissant- OMGoshhhh - it was legit the best ham and cheese croissant I've ever had! I actually think that it's quite addicting because I want to go back and get more! It had the right amount of cheese and ham. Service was amazing! Christine was super sweet and helpful! The shop was decorative, very clean and such a cute ambiance- the Cambodian culture shined through. I loved it! I love supporting these small local businesses. I'll probably stop by tomorrow for another ham and cheese croissant! It's in a busy shopping center with plenty of parking too! read more
