Once we finally found it again, we were so happy, and we've been regulars ever since. These are honestly some of the best donuts I've ever had. They are light and airy without feeling empty, but still have enough substance to be satisfying. The sweetness is perfectly balanced, and they always taste fresh. A lot of donuts can be too dense, overly sweet, stale, or so airy that there is barely anything to them, but these are the perfect balance. The women who work here are always incredibly sweet and welcoming, and the atmosphere is warm and pleasant. We've been meaning to leave a review for a while because we genuinely love supporting this place. We are definitely loyal customers now!

I was out driving around here in Long Beach early this morning and saw this donut shop. I know my…read morecrew would really love me more if I brought them some fresh donuts this morning. I'm glad to see this is more of least a normal donut shop with real normal donuts. I'm tired of these new fancy donut shops specializing in "creative" donuts with all kind of crazy toppings like every sweet cereal you grew up with priced like at $5.00 a donut or something. I go in and can tell this is one of those Asian donut shops that opened all over down here in SoCal. I think they might be Cambodian, nothing against Asians making donuts, they're the ones that started using the pink boxes we all know. Asians make the best fried chicken, so why not donuts? I look at all the donuts in the cases and they seem like all the familiar ones. I order a dozen and just point to the ones I want. The even have bear claws. I got one of those just for me. There's croissant stuff too. Service is friendly and efficient. The interior is a little dated but I'm here for donuts, not a fancy date or something. I get the donuts and eat that bear claw on my way back to the hotel to meet up with my crew. Yes, they were surprised to have nice donuts, so nothing like a happy crew to make them get the work done.

The service is great, it is so inexpensive and it is busy on the weekends for sure. The ambience gives nostalgic vibes, and I am into that. Parking does suck, so be mindful of that. The matcha and maple are my favorite. Also, they have a great selection of vegan baked donuts. MUCH BETTER THAN GOOD TIME donuts for sure.

I got lucky- It was about a half hour before closing and there were no other customers. Cute little place! I was helped by Ilyas, the manager. What a stellar individual! I told him it was my first time, and my preferences (not big on frosting, but like interesting flavor combos) and he walked me through the different types. I was happily surprised to see that they carried some traditional donuts as well as the frosted themed ones! I found that this shop was related to Simones donuts which is a great business! They even do cookie tins and caramels. A couple of the special edition donuts looked so decadent and flavorful but more like a dessert that I commented. He then brought out for me one that was a brand new item and it sounded perfect- a sugar donut topped with strawberry mascarpone encircling a pandan center and I had to get it. He even let me have my themed matcha donut without the fancy little emblem for $1 less! So nice. Those, with a biscoff donut and a logo pin completed my purchase. The pandan topping was sweet but the mascarpone was reminiscent of a strawberry yogurt and the flavors blended perfectly. The other donuts were huge, fluffy and perfectly textured. I would have liked a stronger biscoff and matcha strawberry flavor in those crumbles but at least they were not sweet! Just delicious. The prices are fairly high but I will definitely stop by occasionally to see what delicious creations they are whipping up and get myself a treat!

After trying the doughnuts my husband and I got on Saturday, here is my review…read more I got the Studio Ghibli collab doughnut. Per the flavor sheet, it said the flavor was cookies and cream. The flavor WAS NOT cookies and cream. It was a regular doughnut with chocolate frosting and design on top. I thought there would be filing inside of cookies and cream or the frosting at least, but no. I think these doughnuts are just for the aesthetics. The only reason I'm giving 3 stars was because the apple fritter my husband got was good. I tried a few bites and it was very tasty. You get the taste of apple. And the crunch from the exterior with it being light and fluffy on the inside. I'm disappointed because I've been wanting to try this place out for the longest time and my doughnut did not exceed my expectations.

A very welcoming vibe upon entry, we were greeted by a friendly couple who answered our questions about popular drink flavors. We decided to go with a Hot Cinnamon Dulce Latte and an Iced Blueberry Lavender Latte. While waiting, there were plenty of chairs, tables, a comfy couch and even a bar area to sit and relax. Tons of board games, books and wonderfully mellow music helps make the experience feel comforting and inviting. Our drinks were prepared quickly and shouted at the coffee bar for pickup. The presentation was great, but the flavors, out of this world! The Cinnamon Dulce Latte was OUTSTANDING. So good, in fact, that my girlfriend stole it from me! Not to worry, her Blueberry Lavender Latte was also top-notch, with a smooth, not-to-sweet flavor combination. Friendly staff (which comes with occasional karaoke renditions from the Bluetooth speakers), a chill vibe and outstanding drinks make this a top spot in the area for hardcore coffee lovers. Check them out!

I had to wait in a short line upon arrival outside but it was well worth it. The interior was clean and tidy. A cute space . I had to try a variety of pastries, of course I've tried the cheese puff, fried mochi, strawberry pastry and cinnamon roll and they all tasted very fresh and not too sweet. I do have to say out of all of those the strawberry was my favorite. The prices were a little steep for me, but everything is gluten-free and vegan so I do like that

Located on Fourth Street, all parking is street parking, and for a Saturday afternoon, it sure was busy! I had to circle the surrounding neighborhoods a few times before finally lucking out and snagging the loading spot right by the bakery. There also was a line to get in. At first, I was confused because there were two lines, but turns out the longer line one was for the neighboring coffee shop, Reinne's Place. Since it was already 1:30pm, a lot of their pastries and breads were already sold out. I was hoping to get their ube pandesal but alas, no more! I ended up getting their Pandan Cinny Bun, Black Sesame Bun, and Ube Bun as well as their Ube Coffee Cake. The buns are gigantic! Not only were they huge, but they're also incredibly soft and delicious. I really loved how distinct the flavors were in each one . It's hard for me to pick which is my favorite out of the three because they were all so good! If I absolutely had to pick though, I really loved the Black Sesame one. The black sense and flavor on that one really came through and I loved pairing it with my coffee. The Ube Coffee Cake was also really enjoyable. It had a nice crumbly texture with a subtle sweetness. Overall, I really enjoyed all the sweet treats I tried here! I'd definitely go back to try more, although I will say the limited street parking can make the visit a little challenging, especially on a busy Saturday.
