Great service and great plus selling. I came in because I haven't had my Cronut fix in a while and I told myself only two. When I asked for my two cronuts, he tried to bump me up to a 4 pack. My buddy Will-power stepped up and said no, two is enough. Like I said it had been a while since I've come here, but I think I got a little sticker shocked when he said $10.00. I'm glad I did not say yes to the four pack. It might be a while again before I go back and I hope the price doesn't double next time I go back. read more

"Baby, I Knead your lovin. Got's to have, all your lovin." - parody of "Baby I need your loving", The Four Tops Fancy donuts, oh my! Knead Donuts, located in the bustling Cerritos Promenade, has been serving artisan donuts in the city for several years, now. I'm not a big donut guy, saving them for a rare treat or when they're offered at an event. Alas, sometimes, you just gotta satisfy that sweet tooth. Strawberry Crunch- Highly enjoyable, topped with a slice of fresh strawberry, the Strawberry Crunch didn't feel as guilty as a double chocolate covered everything donut. The crumbs sprinkled on top providing texture to the fluffy donut, and I was quite happy with my pick. My initial visit was a 2 years ago. On my more recent occasion, I stopped by to see what's new. Knead closes at 1pm on weekdays (Monday closed, till 9pm Sat & Sun), and being approximately 30 minutes to close, two boxes of assorted donuts were left to choose from. Knead's Dubai Chocolate donut was a whopping $8! I tried to haggle the price down, both individually or with another donut, to no avail. No way was I planning to buy a whole box, either. Prices vary around $6-$8. Aware prices have gone up everywhere, that's still too much, in my summation, for donuts. In addition, not being a big donut guy, I don't foresee being a frequent customer. Knead Donuts does sell beautifully crafted donuts, which would satisfy even the most critical sugar junkie, but with premium pricing attached to each donut, can't justify the money spent, for my needs. read more

If you need a fancy donut for the wow factor, Knead does not disappoint. Great flavors & quality. Lotus cronut was my fave. Worth the price tag; $5-7 each. Tons of parking in the lot for an easy grab and go. read more

Okay I was craving something sweet and this is the first thing that popped up. Honestly came in right on time and got the last of the good ones, it was around 2p on a Wednesday. I'm not 100% on the names, but our favorites were the biscoff, apple pie, and the strawberry churro.. basically the first, second, and bottom second from my pictures. This place is GOOD, craving satisfied. They were the last of each. I heated them up at home for a few seconds and it was perfection. Another plus, owner was really nice and let us sample the donut and even the coffee! Its Vietnamese coffee that can be ordered by adjusted sweetness (sweet, semi sweet). My husband liked his iced viet coffee with banana cold foam, said it tasted like banana laffe taffy. Probably go early if you want something particular! I'd be back. read more

Came here on Easter, and it was open (yay lol)! Anyways the service was quick, this was my first time trying knead donuts and the employee gave us a few recommendations, she stated that the Dubai chocolate donut was the most popular, but I'm not a fan of that flavor so I didn't purchase it. I ended up paying $22 for four donuts: 1) tiramisu donut 2) seasonal Easter donut 3)guava cheese donut 4) fruity pebbles donut She also added a few donut holes in the middle, they are delicious and flaky! The ambiance of this place is nice, it's quite small but welcoming. I will be returning! read more

Ive had treats from here before but never been in. We were graciously offered free samples - of the lychee lemonade (incredible! Really elevates the sweet/tart lemonade style) and the guava donut and a strawberry one i think. So of course we had to go in! I got the dubai chocolate one for my mom and she looooved it! It was a good size too. We also got to generously try the banana cream one - its filled with like banana pudding with a nilla crumb coating. my friend and i wolfed it down!! My husband got the vietnamese coffee and my friend got the lychee lemonade. They both loved their drinks. The people are soooo so nice and welcoming. I told my parents they should stop by too. Its small, not really for hanging out but there was a table. Definitely need to come back: highly recommend!! read more

Love supporting small pastry shops. Stop by Knead Donuts to satisfy your sweet cravings! Parking: They're located in one of the busiest plazas in Cerritos. There's a large parking lot, but finding a spot can be a hit or miss. Ambiance/Environment: This is a quick grab-n-go location, so there's no indoor or outdoor seating. I visited on a weekday, so it wasn't as busy. They have a small space. The donuts are displayed behind a glass window with labels and prices. Service: We were greeted once we entered. The cashier that assisted us was nice, quick, and efficient. Pastries: It was tempting not to order every single donut. Their donuts are sweet yet delicious. It's perfect enough to satisfy your sweet tooth. I also tried their croissants drenched in a glaze. It was sooo good! I didn't try their coffee, so I'll have to come back hehe. Pricing: Decent prices for unique donuts and other sweet pastries. Highly recommend visiting here to satisfy your sweet tooth! read more

*****3.5 stars***** Finally had a chance to check out Knead Donuts, and TBH, thought the donuts here for the most part were just okay. Definitely the most expensive donuts I've bought, and for the price, I thought the donuts would amaze me (especially given the great reviews). I like the fact that they can split a dozen donuts into two boxes of six, which comes out a little cheaper; however, most of the donuts are an upcharge, so I ended up spending $68 for a dozen donuts (not $58). I tried the banana cream donuts and if it wasn't for the banana slices in the middle, I would have thought this was a plain donut with frosting. I also tasted some of the glaze donut, which was also just okay. These donuts look super sweet, but I'm glad they weren't. Would I go back? Maybe for a donuts or two depending on flavors, but definitely wouldn't buy more next time around. read more

Knead Donuts - Apple pie, banana cream, and guava - Donuts Near Me - Cerritos, California

Get that guava cream cheese STAT Dropped in late last night and the service was incredible. I did not get the name of the girl at the front but she was so sweet with our group of 5. We were bumbling around trying to get our order straight and she was incredibly patient with us, even going above and beyond to let us sample the milk tea so we could decide if we really wanted it unsweet or not. Would come back for her vibes alone I have long maintained that I don't like croissants and have had no interest in cronuts. But the guava cronut was by far my fave, well balanced and just the right level of sweetness. The ube coconut was a stand out too. I'll def be back to try more! And love a late night option. read more

Hand down the best Vietnamese coffee this side of Little Saigon. Knead doesn't have a pre-mixed kind like some other nearby places that also use the term Vietnamese coffee. At knead you can order it as you like it and the best way is 1/4 sweet. Which means it'a not too milky or too sweet. Their donuts are amazing and so are the breakfast sandwiches. read more

Service was friendly and super helpful during my first visit! The girl helped me pick the tiramisu donut, which I totally recommend if you like a maple donut. read more

Heard about this place from social media and decided to give it a try. I have been on a hunt for a phenomenal Cronut/doissant in California and I have finally found it! Coming into the little shop I was greeted with politeness. The employee was super sweet. I had told her it was my first time and she so kindly gave me a free croissant. The croissant was flakey and delicious! The glaze on the top was thin and not too sweet. The cookies and cream one was very good. The cream in the middle was not too sweet. My daughter is a huge Dubai chocolate fan and loved the doughnut. She couldn't stop eating! The Cronut was my favorite. I was so happy to finally find a decent Cronut in this state! This is for sure going to be my go to for a Cronut! read more

Nice small spot tucked in the plaza of South and Gridley in Cerritos. Love the simplicity of the menu, nothing complicated. Your eyes definitely get hungry because all their pastries look delicious. I didn't get to take photos because we devoured our order. I love that they have cronuts since it's not offered everywhere and it was light and delicious. I do want to go back to try their filled cronuts, a good variety of them. Didn't get to try their vietnamese coffee so I want to go back and try that too because you have a choice in strongness and foam topping. Check this place out if you havent done so yet! read more

Yummy .... Sugar rush indeed. I think this is a new Location. They are known for fancy, cronut type, fancy donuts. Each cost about $6-7 dollars on average but I got the 6 pack for $32. Prob the most expensive donuts I've ever bought. Tasty but definitely a treat. My fav is the guava flavor. Located in the large strip mall across the street from Cerritos mall. Parking can be tricky on high times, but I found one lucky. I'd go back to the other flavors. read more

Been meaning to try this place out after seeing a post on Facebook. Finally stopped by today. This place is smaller, you walk in and the counter is a few feet in front of you. There was 2 tiny tables to sit and eat at. Inside was clean and donut displayed was neatly organized. So many to choose from it was hard to decide, we ended up with fruity pebbles and maple bacon. The maple bacon one had a syrup dispenser thingy poked into it and you squeeze your syrup when you are ready to eat it . To my surprise they weren't overly sweet, which I'm glad they weren't. Based on the way they looked I thought both would be really sweet. I was a little disappointed in the donut dough itself. Although both tasted good, I am used to donuts being very light and airy, but these seem more of like cake texture. They are a the pricey side , it's $5-7 a donut . The staff was very friendly and patient as we decided which ones we wanted. We do want to go back to try the kronut. read more

I remember back when this place only had one location! It's great to see this place with a shop in Cerritos and two in Long Beach now Parking is in a shared parking lot, but they do have plenty. But this area is filled with a bunch of restaurants. So during lunch time it can be hard to find one As soon as you walk in you are always greeted by the lovely staff The donuts are on the expensive side, and there's so many great ones to pick from. So it adds up quick lol. Each one will run you about 5-8 dollars Also, I'm such a sucker for their robot that goes around and gives out free samples (who doesn't like free samples??) Rosie (yes, the robot has a name) was unfortunately inside because the staff said it was raining earlier in Cerritos. So they brought her inside and plugged her in. Don't worry, Rosie! I'll come back For you. Their donuts really are aesthetically pleasing AND they taste great (I recommend any of their kronuts) I went with Banana cream pie . I don't need to say anything else. A 10/10 An Ube donut Tiramisu donut And the fresh fruit kronut All were delicious, but if I had to pick, I'd go with the banana one Honestly, there wasn't a lot to pick from. They didn't have a huge variety like i remember at the Long Beach locations. Or it could have been because I came around 1 pm and maybe most were sold out. I did end up taking the last Ube and the last banana donut Also, love their Vietnamese coffee. I used to get it all the time before I cut back on caffeine All the flavors here are amazing The store is very clean I love that it's family owned and locally owned and operated. I always see the owner at the shops. So I love they are hands on Come on in and see how delicious the donuts are and try their coffee! They also had signs all over saying how much they love their dogs and they work hard so their dog can have a better life. If you like dogs, then you definitely get bonus points in my book read more

I've been meaning to try Knead donuts for a while now and I'm glad I did! We ordered the guava cheese cronut, crème brûlée donut and Oreo donut. The worker there was so sweet, she threw in a glazed Cronut for us for free. The donuts tasted delicious! The guava cheese donut and crème brûlée donut were not too sweet and the cream was not too heavy. The Oreo donut was on the sweeter side, which made sense since real Oreo bits were used as the topping and in the filling. Service was excellent and I would definitely come back again! There isn't seating at this location, and it is a small donut shop but it has a wide variety of yummy donuts! read more

Knead Donuts - Vietnamese coffee with taro cream and matching donut - Donuts Near Me - Cerritos, California

Did an evening pickup around 6 PM, so there weren't many options left, which I understand given the time of day. The donuts weren't terrible, but they weren't particularly good either. They tasted like fairly standard donuts with underwhelming toppings. The photos on Yelp looked much more impressive than what we actually received. Maybe they're better when they're fresh, but based on this experience, they weren't good enough to make me want to come back and find out. Order: Ube, Termasu, Guava Cheesecake Crassant, Banana Cream, and Strawberry something. read more

Stopped by Knead Donuts after running errands around the area. It is located at one of the plazas across Cerritos Mall. They have a wide variety of donuts and pastries, but they are not your average donuts. They are not only aesthetically pleasing, they are also delicious! It was very hard to choose from all the donuts displaying right at the counter. The owner helped me out on my visit and he was very nice. He had some suggestions about what to choose. I ended up purchasing more than a donut and iced coffee, which was my original plan. The owner had strong convincing skills and I am weak around sweets. I also received a free donut. It is on the pricier side, but it is not your regular simple donut so it makes sense. The coffee was also good. It has been some time since I last visited, but should be back soon. read more

I stopped by Cerritos for some errands and decided to stop in. Fun fact, the advertising robot got my attention and convinced me to come in lol The owners were really friendly. Immediately greeted me upon entry. Offered to help if I had any questions. It took me a minute to check out all the detailed donuts. There is a new croissant hot dog which my kids would love. I got the 4 pack originally. However, the owner convinced me to get 5 and get one free. Why can I say, he is a good marketer. I added a 3 croissant hot dog pack. Everything is presented beautifully and crafted to perfection. You. You can definitely tell they pour their hearts work into the place. I asked where the owner is from and he said Cambodia. Woo woop! Love to see more young entrepreneurs in this creative food realm. Five stars for service, cleanliness of the store and taste! Stop in for a treat read more

I was craving a good blueberry donut so my husband decided to take me here in between our errands at around 5 PM. You can see all the donuts right when you go inside and it was nice and calm. I was trying to be healthy at first and only get one donut, but the guy offered a special deal if we buy another one. I said okay and we got a dubai chocolate cronut and the guy packed us a mango passionfruit cronut to try. The blueberry donut had two blueberries on top of it that made them seem like eyes which was adorable. This is such a solid donut that I would go here every time just for it. The Dubai chocolate cronut was the biggest donut we bought and was covered with chocolate and pistachios and tasted really good. What made it not overly sweet was the fact that it was cut in the middle and had fresh strawberry slices in between. Last but not least was the mango passionfruit cronut. I didn't even notice this donut in the display but it was amazing! The passionfruit flavor wasn't overpowering for me and I never realized how good cronuts are until this one. Overall, highly recommend anyone to stop by this place to try a donut and a drink instead of going to starbucks a few stores down. Sadly didn't take any photos this time because I finished them before I realized. read more

I loved you guys and supported your Long Beach store as well. I got this text which made it sound like the 40 first customers get a box of strawberry donuts not a box of strawberries with a donut purchase I wasn't the only one misled here at 7 am opening. The line of people leaving equally disappointed. Thought yall were being smart and marketing with donuts but no you misled your regular customers. Donuts are good, but expensive. This misleading marketing is poor business. Do better knead don't be greedy like other businesses in these times. read more

First time here and was greeted with great customer service. He offered some recommendations. All donuts were good. The ube coconut really stood out with just the right amount of coconut cream in the center. My son enjoyed Oreo. The banana cream lacked banana flavor in my opinion. Come here if you'd like to enjoy some different flavors but know it'll be costly. 6 donuts for $32 bucks. If I come back, it'll be to get 1 or so but not more than that. read more

I hate to rate it so low but I was extremely disappointed by this donut joint T_T I heard such good things from neighbors and saw it was rated really high on Yelp so I made the trip out with my toddler. The robot sampler was super cute and I helped myself to a berry cronut sample, which I'm glad I did because it tasted meh so I decided not to get it. Went in to order the rainbow sprinkle one for my daughter, a crème brûlée and strawberry crumble one for me and my husband. The crème brûlée was filled with custard. This donut had a really weird medicine-like aftertaste. I couldn't eat more than a few bites and had to throw the rest away. The strawberry crumble one was ok but I feel like it's something I could've gotten at a run of the mill donut shop for like $2. It was definitely not worth $6... My daughter's donut was more for aesthetics since she loves rainbows. A+ on presentation but the flavor was just awful. Again, not worth $5 for a sprinkled donut with a rainbow sour belt over it, not to mention it tasted so weird!!! Something about their recipe just tasted off... The staff was very nice though. Offered us some water and gave us utensils to cut the donuts! Hence 2 stars instead of 1. read more
