    If you're in need of "fancy" donuts for a special occasion, this is the place. They taste as good as they look, and the staff is always so nice! They make you feel like family and leave you with a smile. For 6, it was $30 plus tip.

    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.

    Cute donuts for a gift or for kids that love sweets. The service was great the staff was helpful on explaining the flavors. For me it was a try 1 time only due to the sugar overflow. My niece and nephew loved it.

    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!

    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!!

    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!

    *****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.

    Apple pie, banana cream, and guava

    Amazing Donuts and even better customer service! Very interesting donuts with flavors you haven't tried any where else. Definitely worth a stop.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    This is such a cute hidden gem donut shop right around the cerritos mall complex! Donut is so pretty and delish and it smells devine inside the shop! I got the ube donut for $8 and the lady gave me a free little croissant so service was 10/10! They also have some samples for one of the kind idk which one. Will be back, so many trendy and delish flavors to try :) 9.5/10

And there's sooo many cafes to choose from in Cerritos. So that says a lot! I love being my friends and family here. Today, I brought one of my girlfriends with me and she ordered the strawberry matcha with cream top. She instantly loved it! She let me try as well and wow, it's delicious! Not too sweet and had a perfect balance of flavors! I highly recommend it! Again, get their sweet corn matcha when you go! That's a must. It's always busy when I go but the line moves quickly.

    I heard a lot about homeboy from friends and occasionally got delivered orders in the past, but…read morethis was my first time at the café. Drinks (4/5): - I ordered an iced Matcha latte with vanilla sweetener, it was definitely good but did not taste like Matcha. - Based on what the menu said, I was under the impression that the Matcha latte comes originally unsweetened which is why I asked the barista for recommendation on sweetener to which they replied vanilla. - Now again, maybe this was my misinterpretation of the menu, but the receipt did say vanilla and then separately three pumps of sweetener. So next time, maybe I will do a better job inquiring about the drink and the menu. - Still a good drink that I enjoyed but definitely not much flavor of Matcha. Interior (4/5): - A pretty typical café layout with average space that is utilized well to create seating. - Many 1/2 seater tables in the café and outside as well. - My only critique was the volume of the music. I was at the café to do some reading and work, but even through my headphones with noise canceling, I was able to still hear the music and the bass. I felt that with that volume of music, it would have been hard to even have a conversation, but I can't say for sure because that's not what I was there for. Service (5/5): - Solid and standard service overall! I came at a time, when it seemed they had a lot of drinks in the queue, but didn't have to wait too long. Good vibes all around, but would be hesitant to recommend as a place to do work due to the music (perhaps varies day by day?). Hope to try more drinks in the future!

During one visit, requesting a simple sprinkle of cinnamon resulted in an unnecessary comment, after asking for cinnamon on my iced latte, Marcy (a shift supervisor) looked at me with annoyance and said "just to let you know it's hydrophobic so it's not going to mix" On another visit, when I tried to order my usual iced Americano with cold foam, Marcy refused, saying "those are just the rules." Even when I asked to simply purchase a side of cream top instead, she refused to sell it to me--which was baffling, considering other staff members have been making this exact drink for me without issue for the past two weeks. After messaging the owner, he explained that the shop restricts drink modifications to speed up service. However, the obvious miscommunication among staff shouldn't fall on the customer. It was extremely uncomfortable to be shut down and given a hard time by Marcy. While every business has the right to set its menu rules, denying basic customizations and refusing to sell a side of cream top feels overly rigid for a local coffee shop. The strict atmosphere makes for a stressful customer experience.

The ice cream itself was enjoyable, but a few things about the visit may be helpful for other Yelpers to know in advance. They don't offer samples of the available ice cream flavors, which was surprising since many other ice cream shops do. Also, the flavors listed on Yelp and social media did not seem to reflect what was currently available in-store, so I'd recommend checking directly with the café before visiting if you have a specific flavor in mind. We ordered a Level 1 matcha and a mango waffle cone. The flavor options for mixing also appear to depend on what they have already prepared and available that day. There were no pastries available during our visit either. Service was a bit underwhelming, but hopefully the café can improve communication around current flavors, samples, and daily offerings. I'll continue my search for that ideal matcha-ube ice cream combination, but this could still be worth a stop if you're flexible and simply craving matcha ice cream.
