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.

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

Vietnamese coffee with taro cream and matching donut

Jessa O.

I've been meaning to try Knead and I'm so glad I did! The Vietnamese coffee is AMAZING with the taro cream, it's a very strong tasty flavor! The donut is also yummy and not that sweet! I loved the service he was very helpful with helping me choosing a donut which was "there's no wrong answer" I didn't notice but he also gave me two extra tiny donut holes The place is small but has two tables if it's not busy you can sit down. There's also some seating outside since it's a plaza! Will be coming back!

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

Guava cheese cronut, crème brûlée donut, glazed cronut & Oreo donut

Tiffany H.

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!

WOW! Met the owner, great guy! Donuts taste as good as it looks! Definitely would come back for more!!!

I'm so glad they made a location in cerritos! I used to drive all the way to LB for this place so it really saves me a drive. Their donuts are "fancy" as my mom says and their guava cronut is literally on my top 3 best donuts. Really great staff just like the other locations. This place is a little small but I think as a donut shop, you don't need a large space. It's grab and go, no seating. Tbh, I am not the biggest fan of their location because it's on south and gridley but if you're willing to walk a little bit, plenty of parking in the back. read more

Knead Donuts is a new donut shop that recently opened up in Cerritos! Located in the South Street Promenade, it's surrounded by many restaurants and dessert shops, including Crumbl cookies. Considering how popular this plaza can get, parking can be a little challenging to find, but worst case scenario, you can always park closer to the Target side of the plaza and just walk a bit more. When you enter the bakery, you'll notice that it's quite small. There's only the counter to display the donuts and the register. This is definitely not a place to go to if you're trying to find a spot to eat a dessert at the establishment. Instead, this is more of a, pick me up type of spot. The cashier was very sweet. Since we weren't sure which flavor we wanted to get when we first entered, she would take the time to offer some recommendations to us. She would also share some friendly conversations while we were picking and was very patient with us overall. We ended up getting their popular flavor, the strawberry crunch, and their seasonal pumpkin spice. The Strawberry Crunch was delicious! I loved how they added the fresh strawberries on top, with the little crumble on top to add the additional crunch to the donut. Inside, it's filled with a strawberry jelly, which did not overpower the donut! The pumpkin spice donut, however, was not my favorite. I felt like the cinnamon really took over the flavor profile of the donut and unfortunately the donut was a little to dense to my liking. Although I wasn't too big of a fan of the pumpkin spice, I would definitely come back to try their other flavors and get the strawberry crunch again! Overall, I highly recommend Knead to anyone looking for a quick donut fix in the area. It's a great creative and unique donut shop establishment and a lovely addition to Cerritos! read more

Donuts were good. They are expensive and just a little over the top. Almost "too much" if that makes sense. Sometimes less is more. It's a one time visit kind of place in my opinion. Fun to try, good enough to try, but not good enough to go back and pay that much for donuts. read more

Donuts are so good. They have free taste the day we went and to be honest it was really good. I love their cookies and cream and the crème brûlée donut. They also have donut with guava flavor I totally forgot what they call it. The service is good too, they were very welcoming and very nice. Thumbs up for having a good customer service. They even offer us what to get and what is new cook so we can try it. The place is really amazing, the ambiance of the place is very nice and I love the fact that the donut is already in front of you, ready to be ordered. Highly recommend this place read more

Stopped by this evening with my husband and daughter for the first time at Knead. What caught our eye was the cute little robot giving out samples then we walked in to what I could only describe as a real life CandyLand type donut shop. Not only was it beautifully decorated with the cutest tree and ornaments but it was so clean and everything was so well put together and the donuts were decorated so cute and they all looked so good! We met Marcus and he was top tier customer service! He literally will be one of the main reasons why we would go back again because he was so friendly and helpful and took the time to have a conversation with us. We just got home and tried the donuts and these are literally the best donuts Ive ever had!!! Its almost 8pm and they don't taste stale at all!! 10/10 would recommend, my overall experience was one of theee best Ive had in a very long time! read more

I knead to know what magic they put in their cronuts because we're addicted! We were in the same plaza to pick up food and saw this place so I decided to pop in. AND OMGG, INSTANTLY OVERWHELMED with the selection; guava cheese, s'mores, oreo, cronuts, just to name a few. We grabbed about 8 donuts for $30 which is very reasonably priced considering the size and quality of the donuts! As I finished checking out, my older son ran in and said he wanted to add something, the owner was so kind enough to sneak it into our box with no extra charge! It's safe to say, this place will be a regular stop of ours read more

First and foremost, this shop could not be owned and operated by a nicer family. They're always super welcoming and have a smile on their faces. Each time we've come in, the owner is in the back making fresh donuts while still giving his attention to the patrons. They always remember you, too! We've tried MOST of their donuts and not a single one has disappointed us yet. Yeah, they might be pricey, but you really do get what you pay for. You can taste the love and care in their product! The quality is ALWAYS there. (They also usually have samples at the ready which is a huge bonus when you're like me and can never decide) Personally, I'm a plain guy, so I tend to gravitate towards the blueberry donut or the plain glazed (Let me tell you, when those plain glazed come fresh out of the fryer... *chefs kiss*). My wife really enjoys their Guava Cream Cheese cronuts. With that said, you really can't miss with ANY of their donuts. I strongly recommend looking beyond the price tag and giving this family franchise a shot! read more

Knead Donuts is absolutely delicious. My husband went out to buy some last night and brought home 5 flavors (guava Cronut, Oreo, Regular Cronut, Crème Brûlée, & Strawberry cheesecake). They were so good we came back for more today for a Croissant with strawberries and a créeme filling, tigers tail and a Tiramisu Donut. From last nights donuts my favorite was the Guava Cronut. My husbands favorites were the regular Cronut and the strawberry cheesecake. My daughter devoured the Oreo before we could get a taste lol. Todays donuts did not disappoint either. The flavors are very unique and they pair so well together. The filling in the donuts are so light and not overpowering or too sweet and the toppings either add the tartness of the strawberries or the sweetness of the topping that make for such a delightful flavor. The service was great too. The owners are siblings running the place, from what we were told. They were so accommodating and friendly. We were given suggestions to try and offered info on the drinks menu. We've definitely found our go-to spot when we're craving something sweet... Knead Donuts! Highly recommend :) read more

The vibe was chill and the presentation of the donuts spoke to my soul. I went with the Red Velvet and Tiramisu, I have no regrets. They were amazing and will definitely be back. read more

The place was buzzing, but since our order was to-go, we were in and out without much of a wait. Big shoutout to Aron for being friendly, welcoming, and genuinely helpful.

That ceremonial-grade matcha delivered exactly what it should: bold, earthy, nutty, and gloriously green. No weak, sad matcha pretending to be something it's not. This was the real deal!!! Overall, a great experience and definitely a spot I'll keep coming back to whenever I'm in the area.

Both were excellent rich & creamy and served at the perfect drinking temperature. This is honestly one of the best Flat Whites I've had in years!! Will be going back soon to try some of there other drinks. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable of the drinks. There is also a large variety of beans available for sale. I was even able to find filters for my home pour-over setup! Its a smaller shop with a modern, welcoming vibe that makes you want to stay. There is limited seating inside and a couple of benches outside. Not the kind of space where you can sit down to work or study. But perfect for visiting with friends and enjoying the wonderful drinks. Ondo is located in a busy strip mall so parking can be tough. We actually parked in the strip mall next door LOL There is also some street parking in the area.

As for the drinks, the pour overs is lacking as of late. When I get pour overs I would like the staff to be attentive to my drink than being side-tracked. I'm paying almost $8.5+ for my pours mind you. I'll continue to come for the beans but I don't know about the drinks right now.

I tried the peel me a latte with oat milk which was so good and the foam tasted like real banana, not artificial. The only thing I wish is if it was a bit less sweet.

They used a drip machine that has "pour over features". I called this to the barista's attention but she said they use their pour over machine for their pour overs...

The place is small but cozy and they have a giant couch in the middle for lounging. The price is high compare to other places, with the exception of their daily special tea. Their tea is actually cheap. I love love the jasmine calamonsi tea, so refreshing for $3. The halo halo was overwhelmed with ice cream, need more of other ingredients. The monster oreo shake was delicious but it is not worth it for that price. The ube flan cupcake was just ube cupcake and flan stack on top. It kinds of lacking the cohesiveness. Overall, I would come back just for that tea.

Bakers & Baristas

I can't have them from anywhere else because these hit the spot so hard that no one can compete. I personally have not tried anything else, but my kids have enjoyed other treats from this place. They are located in Cerritos at a very busy shopping plaza and there's plenty of parking. I didn't expect the bakery to be an actual restaurant. There was a good crowd, sitting at tables and eating and drinking. They have about a dozen different flavors of macaroons. You can't go wrong with any of them, but my top favorite are the Birthday, Fruity Pebble, Horchata, Cappuccino and Ferrero Rocher. They make nice gifts too, as they can put it in a treat box in an ice brown paper bag. I definitely need to come back and try their drinks and something else from their menu.

Their drinks were decent…read morethough, and after eating teriyaki in Gardena, I was craving something sweet, so we decided to stop here again. I ordered a hot salted caramel latte. They charge an extra dollar to substitute oat milk, so I kept the regular milk. My son got the cappuccino cake, and I chose the ricotta pistachio cake. The pistachio cake was a little dry -- not terrible, but noticeable. However, my hot salted caramel latte was actually very good and paired really well with the dessert. The music and atmosphere were nice, and there were only a few patrons inside, which made it feel relaxed. However, there were a couple of dirty plates left sitting on tables while one employee seemed more focused on organizing napkins instead of clearing them. I also wasn't too sure how fresh the cakes were since they had been sitting in the display. Whether I come back really depends on the flavor and quality of the food and drinks next time around.

They had a "Brewed and Bold" offering as part of their seasonal menu so we decided to get the Black Sesame Cookies and Cream, Thai Tea Buttercrunch, Matchaberry Brownie, and their Hojicha Chip. The ice cream flavors were subtle but so delicious and refreshing. I can't wait to come back and try more of their flavors. Parking can be a bit tough depending on the time of day as it's in a busy plaza shared with other eateries, but thankfully we were able to snag a spot within a few minutes.

DO NOT COME HERE!!!! MANAGEMENT IS RUDE! SAVE YOUR MONEY GOING SOMEWHERE ELSE because this place is unsanitary, overpriced, and the MANAGER JENNY IS RUDE AND RACIST! She talks poorly and gossips about customers behind their backs making judgmental and racist remarks. She is bossy and super disrespectful. Treats her employees and customers like crap. Super unprofessional and the employees do not wear gloves while making your food. They also use food that has been dropped on the floor. The tongs are used for multiple donuts even the ones containing nuts. I do not recommend this place at all. read more

These are the tastiest donuts with the most wonderful flavors and exquisite, beautiful presentations! To say that they are "gourmet donuts" is an understament! And the owner is the nicest man! My family came to this location to actually get some Crumbl cookies next store, but it was closing time, and the owner of the donut shop offered us some free donuts. So glad he did because we enjoyed these even more than the cookies, and we definitely plan to come back! A+++ and 5 star review! read more
