The reviews are spot on. Tasty donut. The filling has a nice distinct taste to it for the Boston creme.

Service is always good and the workers are so kind. They are very inviting and are patient when picking your donut. We always love to go here to see the whole new variety they have and the donuts are so good. The maple bacon is my favorite because it the perfect savory sweet combination. The store is very cute and is very clean.

Alex is the best! Always very welcoming, outstanding customer service. They are all great, Best donut in my humble opinion is maple bacon- it's St8!! I literally sat in my car and devoured it before going to work.The way the flavors melt together... Damn Gina! Shout out to Alex and his crew! I never leave disappointed!

This place has great Vietnamese Coffee! Not to mention they have wonderful selections of gourmet donuts. Even though it needs more guava jam, I specifically enjoy their guava and cream cheese kronut. It was flaky, not too sweet, and just the right size. I also enjoyed their kreme brûlée donut. It was good and the crunchy top was awesome. The staff was friendly, was in and out in no time. Be prepared to pay for $5-$6 per donut though! There's no seats inside, so no place to chill and enjoy your donuts and drinks. However, it's very clean and everything was organized. Parking is also limited so if you get in during peak times, you can park on the street.

I heard a lot of good things about this spot, and to boot, its a stone throw from where I live. This isn't a regular donut shop, its very much gourmet, because I spent about 40 bucks on six donuts. Its worth it in all honesty, but I wont be making this a daily visit place. We got seven specialty donuts and I'm gonna go through them one by one. Ill start with the creme brulee because I'm a stickler about it. They pumped it with the creme and the outside was a little crunchy, but spot on in taste. The strawberry cheesecake was good (according to my girlfriend) the slice of strawberry on top was a nice choice. The churro roll was good, it wasn't crunchy enough to be a churro but the taste was there The maple bacon was amazing, spilling its tastes of maple, icing and bacon. The raspberry cronut was interesting. It reminded me of a raspberry danish with its crumble and such. Very delightful. The cinnamon roll was good, much like ones that are made in patissieres The salted caramel was good too, much like the maple bacon. There are way more pastries to choose from, but these are the ones that I would repeat, during a special time of the year or perhaps a holiday.

Went there for Kronut, but there was not available that day. Ordered cream cheese strawberry donut, cream Bluree donut and another apple one. It was ok, but bit pricy. staff was very friendly and nice.

I walked in I wasn't sure what to expect, but I was so satisfied with my croussantwich the bacon was deliciously crispy. The croissant was buttery, and Alex was super sweet and nice I for sure will be coming back to try more of the menu items. I wish there was one in LA but because of how delicious it was, I know I'll be back in Long Beach.

Time for a review. I have been here a few times. The donuts are good, but I feel like, the quality is mostly in the toppings. Reasons for some stars deductions could be the price, kinda expensive. Some donuts seem more oily than others, I have had some donuts that tasted overcooked. Their blueberry cake donut is pretty good. Always friendly staff. I just feel like, when you excel in the basics, all the fancy-schmansy topics, doesn't really matter. And I have found, almost perfection at another place. Clean, and decent parking. But idk if I'll be back.

Price: there are no prices available online, you walk in and there are no prices for doughnuts anywhere. I could have asked how much for a dozen, but I figured it would be around $30. Why this assumption— Voodoo doughnuts at Universal is $30 for 13. Crumbl charges $40 for 12 cookies. Katella’s gourmet bakery charges less than $5 for a slice of layer cake, a cupcake, or any cookie or piece of pastry. At Knead I purchased two sugar glaze with buttercream topping, two boston, two guava kronoughts, a maple pecan, an old fashioned red velvet, an apple fritter, a banana cream pie filled, a Nutella filled, and a strawberry jam filled. $70!!!!! That is almost $6 per doughnut!!!!!!!!! Only the Donut Man at Grand Central Market charges more for one type of doughnut ($6.75) because they use whole seasonal fresh strawberries packed into a sugar glaze doughnut “taco shell”. When I looked at him dumbstruck and said that is expensive, he did give me a $5 discount, but at that price it still doesn’t justify at least a 130% increase compared to prices of competitors and substitutes.Flavor: ok, so it was stupid expensive, but did it knock your socks off; did flavor just punch you in the mouth? No :( the best doughnuts were the guava, banana, and maple/ caramel pecan. The filling for the banana, nutella, and strawberry was minimal 1/3 filling to 2/3 dough at least. The filling was just in a dollop in the middle basically.Texture and mouth feel: The dough left a film on the inside of our mouths from the fat they use and it has a particular greasy taste and feel that is not pleasant.My daughter loves doughnuts and if the dough tastes good she will eat the whole thing. She chose the sugar glazed with frosting and she didn’t eat the dough because she didn’t like the taste and texture, so $11 for a little frosting ?.I have had better doughnuts from many places for cheaper. I would not recommend this place for a casual doughnut run! It was a major disappointment because even their best tasting doughnuts were not worth the price based on flavor and texture. If they drop their prices and make their prices transparent I would be willing to give them a second try in the future.

Been here a few times now and what can i say besides it being great! The donuts not only look amazing but taste amazing too! Always fresh and pairs beautifully with their Vietnamese coffee. The coffee has 5 levels so theres a strength for everyone. I usually get level 4, their 2nd strongest. Also, i highly recommend their breakfast sandwiches since they are made to order and filling.Cant just say the food/drinks were good without stating how great the staff is. Always kind, friendly and welcoming to all that walk in.This place is definitely a must try if your in the area looking for some good coffee and food.Parking: Few spots in the lot and plenty to the side on the streetKid-friendliness: Staff here is genuinely kind and friendly.Wheelchair accessibility: ADA ramp
