    Stopped in for a glazed donut and I was delighted with the fluffy texture. Picked a few donut holes for later. Definitely making the Donut Center as my new goto.

    Ok i wanted to like this place because its down the street from my house and i like to support small business but come on quit being so damn cheap and put some filling in the ham n cheese croissant .. i just paid $6 bucks for a donut and a ham n cheese and got home warmed it up took one bite and was like here we go again no damn ham n cheese if your like me and u pay what fells like way too much for a donut these days then please put what i paid for in it HAM n CHEESE .. sad 1 lil slice of ham and one slice of cheese , plus had the chocolate bars and the underside of the donut was straight greasy ,, no bueno . Like i said trying to be cool but paying a premium for donuts and getting jipped is not cool

Whether we're picking up donuts for…read moreChristmas, school events, work events, or grabbing a quick breakfast before school, this is always our go-to spot. Parking: The shop is located in a large shared shopping-center lot, so parking is usually easy to find. Service & Ambience: The employees are always kind and friendly, and the shop is consistently clean. Even during the busy morning rush before school, the line moves quickly because they always have plenty of help. Food: We usually stick with the classics the glazed twists, maple bars, glazed rounds, and donut holes. We've also tried the pink sprinkle donuts, and everything is consistently fresh and delicious. The shop is open 24 hours, and I love that the donuts are made throughout the day. Even when I've stopped by later, they've still tasted fresh! Their ham and cheese croissant sandwich is also really good and makes a great quick breakfast. Overall: This is a reliable neighborhood donut shop that has become part of so many family memories. We'll definitely continue coming back!

    Made a special trip to this shop after seeing reviews about their delicious apple fritters,…read moreespecially since they're known for making them extra large. I was picking up donuts for a birthday, and this just seemed like the best choice. The donuts I picked out for the birthday person were a bit hit-or-miss since they're pretty particular about donuts. They loved the apple fritters, but not so much the cake donuts or the cronut. They prefer a denser cake donut, though they still said these were good. I tried everything myself and thought they were all great, so it really comes down to personal preference. I got a few cake donuts: the blueberry, pink frosted with sprinkles, and a chocolate cake donut. All the cake donuts were super moist, soft, and cake-like without being overly dense. It reminded me of a cupcake in a donut form. If you prefer a denser cake donut, these may not be for you. Out of the three, the blueberry was by far my favorite. The apple fritters were also delicious. You could actually taste the apples throughout, which I really appreciated. The outside had a nice crispness while the inside stayed soft and tender. I will say they were quite sweet, so I couldn't eat too much of one at a time. The glazed donut was a solid classic. It was lightly glazed, soft, and pillowy. The glazed cronut, however, wasn't quite as impressive. It wasn't the best cronut I've had, but it wasn't the worst either. It was just a bit too doughy and lacked the crisp, flaky texture I was hoping for. Overall, the donuts were very good and reasonably priced. I'll definitely be coming back for the blueberry cake donut and the apple fritters!

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.

They have a huge selection of donuts, including specialty items like cronuts and mochi donuts. Everything looked so fresh and fluffy. I really wanted to try some, but I'm trying to cut back on sugar and was already drinking a latte, so I resisted. It took a lot of self-control not to get any! I ended up getting what I came for, a jalapeño ham and cheese croissant. The croissant was huge and kept me full for hours. It tasted freshly made and was soft yet still flaky, just how a croissant should be. Most donut shops nowadays don't seem to make their croissants as flaky. It was also generously filled with ham. Again, a lot of places I've been to lately are pretty stingy with the filling. The croissant was delicious, and I would definitely order it again. One day I'll have to come back and try the donuts. They also have tables inside if you'd like to dine in. The atmosphere was welcoming, and the customer service was good.

If you want a regular donut with nothing fancy, I recommend coming here. I've only been serviced by the owner I believe, and he's always respectful and polite. They also don't uppercut their prices compared to most places which is nice. I don't really get their croissants/food or drinks/coffee. I maybe got their food and blue slushee when I was younger and they were equally pretty good. But now, I prefer to just get their donuts since they stay consistent. They also open early and close relatively early as well so be aware. I've gone to their place a few times early morning and their glazed donut holes were sold out which was unfortunate but I'd say they always taste great.

One thing I tend to appreciate when visiting food spots is customer service that is offered, so this was something that impressed me. They have a large selection of donuts to choose from- I got a chocolate bar, sprinkle donut and a few donut holes. The cost was about $6 which is the average price in this area. The donuts were fresh and quite soft/fluffy. The one thing I enjoyed was that they weren't too sweet. One of the great benefits of this donut shop is that there's tons of parking spaces. It's located in a plaza where there is a Starbucks and LA Fitness. This makes the trip very convenient and easy. I was born and raised in North Long Beach so I was aware of this donut shop but hadn't gone until I saw the Tiktok. I will be visiting Winny's again in the future and hope that you take a chance to check them out too!
