Dubai

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!!

Donuts and sweet pastries
Millena P.

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.

Croissant

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

Lovely staff serving up delicious treats, both sweet and savory Their mini butters (small glazed Croissants) and donuts are amazing. And their breakfast sandwiches hit the spot so well! Looking forward to my next trip back already

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!

Tiramisu
Laurel T.

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 think I've found my new favorite coffee shop for this part of town and there are a lot of great…read morecoffee shops in this area! We had a Flat White & Cortado. 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.

Came back but it felt something is not the same. Just fyi, I dislike tipping culture but when you…read moreget a bag of beans and they ring you up for a drink, just make sure you calculate the tip because I forgot it included both the beans and drinks so the staff got a big tip from me. 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.

We were looking for afternoon coffee and came across this cafe…read more The menu looked amazing and we could not decide what we wanted to order. So we decided to go with Calamansi cooler and the Ube milk tea with oatmilk for the drink. They were delicious. We also ordered the Leche flan ube cheesecake and it was teally good. The staff was friendly and the service was quick. The decor is pretty. Pretty good space and seating. I think the price is fair as well. We will need to try other drinks and baked goods next time. Actually have to try their coffee or maybe the Milo milk tea. Very impressed with this cafe.

This is one week old review. It was on our list to try since I love halo halo. This place…read moreactually deserve 3.5 stars but since overall experience is positive, it round up to 4. 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.

This was my first time visiting Bakers & Baristas but not my first time trying there macaroons…read more My daughter has been treating me to macaroons on special occasions and I absolutely love them! 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.

I've been here before and honestly wasn't a fan of their breakfast. 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.
