    Half donut half bagels
    Monica R.

    Came by to grab some donut and bagels for my team. The employee there was very nice and welcoming. He boxed my donuts and bagels up which was nicer than just walking in to work with a bag. There was a variety of donuts and bagels. The bagels were very soft and light. The donuts were a little dense but not too bad.

    Maple bar

    Early Riser combo before 7am = Brew + Donut for $4, best deal out there! The maple bar was very good, and I'm always on the hunt for a good MB. Coffee is tasty and strong. Cute display of sweet treats and some tables inside to sip and talk. Glad we have a new donut shop in Gundo!

    A million points for opening at 5am and serving breakfast burritos near LAX. Extremely limited options at that time. Located in a small shopping center in El Segundo, I was thrilled to know that I wouldn't be stuck eating a frozen McDonald's or Starbucks sandwich. The place is clean and service is excellent. First thing that caught my eye was the fresh Apple Fritter & Bear Claw selection at pre-Covid prices. Breakfast burrito was on the smaller scale but it also is 3-4 dollars cheaper than nearby options. Cut in half and easy to eat with little to no bacon grease pouring out. In my opinion for a 5-7am breakfast burrito option in the area, theres no need to go elsewhere.

    Bear Claw. Yes!!

    I am a donut expert and aficionado. As soon as a donut is in my hand, I have a good idea if it's gonna' be good and if it's worth the calories. What you wanna' look for in a donut or any other donut like variation, such as an apple fritter, bear claw, fried cinnamon roll, etc, is the weight. If if feels heavy, that's generally not good, because it's too oily. The next thing you do is take just one bite and and keep it in your mouth for a bit before swallowing it to get a taste of the oil. If it's oily or stale, you are not getting your calorie/enjoyment ratio which equals to, not worth the calories. I can assure you, the donut creations here are worth the calories and there's no oily taste to be found! I had a bear claw, and it was packed to the gills with apple filling. Holy smokes, was it ever good! My friend had a breakfast sandwich that I had a hard time not stealing from her. It was awesome! They also have an espresso bar and plenty of other things to drink. The prices are on par with any donut shop, which was surprising, because this place is more premium. Parking is plentiful and free, and the staff is awesome! I'm writing this review in October 2025, and it's a soft opening. So far so good!

    The lax burrito
    Jason K.

    A great looking assortment of bagels, donuts, croissants, other baked goods, and breakfast items. Got the LAX burrito and was pretty satisfied with it. Not the most tasty or amazing burrito I've ever had, but certainly nothing to sneeze at. $14 seems like a reasonable price. Service inside was friendly and expedient. Lines can back up to the outside during peak times on weekends. Definitely worth a visit.

    Guava Glazed Donut
    Peter L.

    This Guava Glazed Donut was really dam good. The guava was not to sugary it was perfect. Definitely made in house. If you love glaze donuts please give this a try. The workers were attentive and helpful with any questions I had.

    A great new addition to town. This coffee shop offers a wide selection of donuts, bagels, and coffees, so there's something for everyone. The atmosphere is warm and inviting with some indoor and outdoor seating available. I tried their croissant, and it was absolutely amazing--perfectly buttery with just the right flaky texture. Friendly service and fresh offerings make this place well worth a visit. I'll definitely be coming back to try more from their menu!

    I discovered this place by accident while I was out on a walk and decided to stop in for a coffee. I'm so glad I did. Everyone working there was incredibly kind, welcoming, and friendly. It instantly felt like one of those neighborhood spots where people genuinely care about their customers. The coffee was excellent, smooth, fresh, and exactly what I needed on my walk. On top of that, the manager, Juan, went out of his way to show genuine hospitality, which truly made my day. Great coffee, great donuts, and even better customer service. I'll definitely be stopping by again and highly recommend checking this place out if you're nearby!

    Great service. They recommended the apple fritter. My husband said it was one of the best he's had and he's had a few! Pumpkin muffin was delicious. Can't wait to try the rest of the donuts tomorrow morning. Will update the review once we do.

    The glossiest frosting ever seen! Apple fritter, maple long John, chocolate old fashioned, Nutella and strawberry stuffed deliciousness!
    Lori T.

    The most charming bakery just opened a few months ago, with the glossiest frosted donuts I've ever had! Great coffee choices with many syrups to try, and can't wait to try the breakfast burritos! Definitely worth a visit.

    Picked up 4 dozens Dodgers-themed donuts to celebrate the World Series Champs!  The croissants and vanilla latte are yummy too!

    Manhattan Beach Creamery is an independent, local Manhattan Beach landmark worth a stop for anyone…read morevisiting the area - and multiple visits if they are to your taste. While I've been here a few times this is my first formal review. I came with my family one Sunday evening on a hot July day, bypassing several chains on the way, including the new(er) Salt and Straw across the street. The inside is packed to the brim with sweets, small toys, and people, much like a candy shop of old. After reaching the front of the winding line our family shared a Banana Split ($13) - three scoops of ice cream, a split banana, hot fudge, a single dry topping (we chose coconut), whipped cream, and a trio of cherries - about as classic as it comes. The ice cream was good but not exceptional. The chocolate and strawberry were fairly generic, but I liked the third scoop of banana foster ice cream which had a nice banana kick. I doubt this ice cream is home made. The complements and construction to the sundae were great, however, and the flavors came together well. As I would hope for a location like this, the staff are local youths who served with patience and passion. In cases throughout the store are several of their other specialties - ice cream cookie sandwiches, dipped frozen bananas, and more - inviting repeat visits. Prices are elevated but not crazy for such a trendy area, although I would say with the middling quality of the ice cream a couple dollars less would be fine. Overall, Manhattan Beach Creamery is a local landmark worth at least a single visit for anyone in the area. If you can get past the generic, if a little boring, ice cream flavor and rampant commodification of the interior, you'll find a classic ice cream parlor with great service and history. Is it worth a repeat visit? I leave that to you. Food: 4/5 Service: 4.5/5 Ambiance: 4/5 Value: 4/5

    I've been to this place many times -- every time I go to Manhattan Beach, I believe…read more Today, I tried the strawberry flavor. You can see the actual bird of strawberries in the ice cream scoop. And their scoops aren't tiny -- they are the full, overflowing scoop of ice cream. The staff is helpful and friendly. You can try some flavors before you decide what you want to get. Today, the inside was decorated for the World Cup 2026 fans, and there definitely were some global visitors, judging by the languages I overheard in the line while waiting for my turn.
