Pretty nice spot for a quick donut and smoothie run. I only got a croissant, and it was kind of mid -- not bad, just nothing I'd go out of my way for. We also picked up donuts for the office, and everyone seemed to like them well enough, so no complaints there. We went while someone was being trained, and they apologized for it, but honestly... I couldn't even tell he was new lol. Everything still ran smoothly -- aside from him forgetting to charge us for a coffee, which the nice ladies made sure to remind him to add to our bill. Overall, a solid spot if you're looking for something quick and easy. read more

as a doughnut connoisseur it felt obligatory to try a new location. since finding out some shops you pre made half backed doughnuts i was a little bit leary of trying something new. Anyways circle doughnuts had some tasty well priced doughnuts that seemed to be fresh. They had multiple people taking orders. The store is small with minimal seating but they had lots of winning lotto tickets on their walls if that's up your alley. would go again read more

I can't comment on their donuts as I came in solely to purchase my weekly allotment of CA lottery scratchers; therefore, I am reviewing based on my experience. Parking is congested and very tight (I almost didn't stop due to this reason). Establishment is very small and probably only a table or two (I didn't notice). Looks like they had a good selection of donuts and other baked goods. Owner/employee who helped took my lottery order was very nice. read more

The best thing about being in a populated area is finding gems on every corner. Circle Donuts is nestled on Lakewood between Traffic Circle and the 405. The shop is very clean and the donuts are delicious. They also sell scratchers when you're feeling lucky. read more

This is an unexpected gem - you'll strike on your way to work, out of work, or on a break from it - but it could be a tiny destination of its own on a weekend morning. There are two or three tables and mainly people going in and out for takeout orders. Service is what it has to be: pleasant, relatively fast. The food is above the pay-grade: the donuts and the breakfast sandwiches are extraordinarily good. A nice surprise, tucked in a random corner of Long Beach. read more

Delicious Glaze Cronut and reasonably priced $2.95/each. Not too sweet and layers were fluffy on inside, definitely returning.

Delicious donuts and sandwiches plus awesome customer service is the perfect combination to keep coming back. This is your one stop shop, they offer a variety of drinks, breakfast and lunch options. It gets pretty crowded in the morning but they are very efficient in getting your items out in a timely manner. Plus, they have a large parking lot area that offers free parking so parking won't be an issue. Highly recommended! read more

This place does not seem like much from the outside but inside you'll find a giant menu of breakfast sandwiches, wraps and counters filled with delicious donuts galore. Very friendly service, lots of locals - you can also buy lottery tickets! Came on Sunday and there was a good mix of folks: kids getting a boba , older guys buying a ticket, coffee and donut, young family enjoying the outside seating. My croissant sandwich with egg, bacon, sausage was terrific! Perfectly toasted croissant, giant pieces of sausage, melted cheese. My husband was really happy with the avocado, egg and cheese breakfast burrito. It was after 10am on a Sunday and the donut cases were still packed full with a huge assortment of tasty baked treats. Our friendly server even threw in extra donut holes. So far I had the cronut and the cream filled chocolate topped donut. Both were so fresh and amazing! Highly recommend this spot, especially if you're picking someone up from the Long Beach airport who is hungry. read more

I highly enjoyed my bear claw. It was light and fluffy without being cloying and sugary. I was also surprised how fresh it tasted at 2pm. Normally, they are pretty stale by this time of day. I cannot emphasize enough how much attention to detail was placed into this bear claw. They filling was amazing, the texture was amazing, and the dough tasted amazing. Staff is very attentive and friendly. Bonus: You can buy everything from boba, to a ham sandwich, to lottery tickets here. read more

This is my go-to place for a quick and tasty pre-workout, since it's close to my gym. I usually get a fresh pastry and/ fruit. Then a fresh hit coffee with free flavored creamer of my choice. Lastly, I am able to get Lotto here. Support this small business read more

Friendliest man I've ever met at a donut shop! The crumb topping donut was the fluffiest softest donut ever and is now my few favorite. The Thai tea was also creamy and you can really taste the tea's flavors. Definitely will be coming back to support a small business! read more

Circle donut is a little better than your average donut shop. The day I went they had a few employees so even tho the store was packed, they handled everyone pretty well. They had a better selection of donuts than most donut shops I've been to. I purchased a dozen, which my gosh, has gotten expensive throughout the whole industry, but the donuts were very good and even tho it was more expensive they had specialty donuts like red velvet and blue berry cakes. Definitely recommend if I'm the area. read more

I've been coming here for a couple of years now and it's one of my fav donut shops in town.The girls are very friendly and helpful. They always make the food fresh. I personally like this over Krispy or dunkin, it never gets crazy packed. Yes you can buy lottery tickets and cigarettes here as well if that's your thing. Parking can be limited during rush hour but you'll always find a spot somewhere. They have tables outside as well. Will continue to come here for breakfast. read more

Just happened to pass by to grab coffee next door (Steel Cup) and the donut smell wafting from inside was too irresistible! And i'm glad i let my nose lead me inside - good variety and the donuts came out soft, fresh and warm (at 11am). My personal faves were the apple fritters and the boston creme for sure! read more

If I could give ZERO I totally would. VISITED: Friday, October 28, 2022 THE EXPERIENCE: This is my second time here and WILL BE MY LAST! They were rushing due to a line that had formed yet... I too had been in that very line. The guy overcharged me $18+ and the lady asked him why when the dozen was only $16.95 no tax (the lady yells to him) then the story changed to they charge for containers. So I had to pay $1.50 for x 3 small containers I asked for. I asked for a bag they placed the bag on top of my items for me to bag it myself. I have never seen such money hungry individuals ever in life. Rule of thumb: When folks want a product you're selling people will wait (just as I did) I understand wanting to get the line down because your business is small BUT that doesn't justify treating paying customers poorly. It's bad business to make people feel like you just want their money and they need to move along! It definitely did not make me feel good. MY ORDER: 1 dozen assorted donuts GO ANYWHERE ELSE BUT HERE. THEY ARE SO RUDE AND UNPROFESSIONAL. read more

Mary has the best donuts in town. Sofi makes a good sandwich, and you get what you pay for, The donuts are fresh. The coffee tastes like coffee instead of the watery taste you get at most places.

After an early morning surf fishing session in Long Beach... with only two hours of sleep the night before, I found myself needing another cup of coffee and maybe something sweet for a sugary blast of energy in the 710 north. As Waze directed me to the freeway, I noticed Circle Donuts just past the big roundabout off PCH, and quickly turned left into the lot. This is a fine donut shop! Even at 10:45 on a Sunday, they still had a great selection of fried dough fare in the case. Counter folks were efficient but courteous, even when I waffled first a few moments between a maple bar and my usual... I got my Chocolate old fashioned and a piping hot cup of fresh coffee, and I was rejuvenated for my 20 mile commute back to the foothills. Definitely putting Circle Donuts on the rotation when I'm heading down the Shoreline for a little beach walking/fishing. read more

4.5 stars for friendliness and creativity. Their light and fluffy creations with diverse toppings are quite extraordinary in texture. A bit too sweet, which drops at least half a star. That seems like an odd reaction, when the point is to have a totally bad-for-you fried dough treat. Still, sugar content can be overwhelming. They feature cronuts, which I've not tried before. Oh, wow! I've never had a donut creation as sky-high. Pretty impressive. I'm not a connoisseur of the newest donut stylings which are popular these days. (I've never been to Voodoo Donuts.) I may get a craving for the fried batter rings maybe once every 6 weeks or so. Still, I know enough that there was some finesse involved in creating such an airy confection. Dear Hubby and I each ate one of our choices there at the shop, as dessert after dinner. We took several more home and parceled them out for several days. High marks to the apple fritter, which wasn't overcooked, and had visible apple pieces. Not as impressed with the blueberry cake donut with lemon icing. Probably better fresh, though. The location is tricky, as the roads adjacent run at an odd angle to the strip mall. The outside vibe is lackluster. Inside, it's convenience store cachet. It's kept clean, though. You can pick up lottery tickets there, too. To satisfy a donut desire, this could be the place for you. read more

your typical no-frills donut shop with an amazing selection of donuts, cronuts, croissants, sandwiches, + more. we like this place as it's in our neighborhood + it's affordable. the people behind the counter are always friendly. their cake donuts are sublime. must venture out of my comfort zone next time + try their cronuts. the filled croissants are ok. they aren't domenique ansel, but they do the job if you need something on the go. $1 gets you 6 donut holes which i can't resist. there's never a line when i'm there which makes it easy for covid times. read more

I had a blueberry glazed donut and cinnamon crunch donut, they both are below par. Not glazed enough, dry, and well, just not the best. I need a perfect blueberry donut in Long Beach, anyone know of a place? read more

Donuts were extremely sweet, but lacked flavor. Two of the donuts were very stale. We threw most of them away. Yuck. Also, they charged a fee to process a credit card which is illegal in California. So petty, considering the margins on donuts, they could easily absorb the average 2.8% processing fee. read more

Their donuts are really good. Huge fan of the cronuts. The service is also amazing. The store is clean throughout and the people are very nice. Definitely my favorite donut place in LBC. read more

Croissant sandwich was perfect! Will be going back for sure. Doughnuts were great too.

It was National Library Week last week, so I decided on getting donuts from here, because I had picked up one the previous week and on the way out I spotted a tray of red velvet donuts. This place did not disappoint. I got a dozen red velvet with different typed of toppings, and a box of mixed. They were all gone and everyone asked where I got them. This is my local place to go now for donuts. Lovely ladies running the shop as well. read more

I got the ham and cheese croissant. They were going to reheat in the microwave and I asked for them to reheat in the open. It makes the sandwich a little crispier. The sandwich was only $3.25 and it had a nice portion of ham filling. The only downfall was the bottom of the croissant was not raised all the way it was a little doughy. read more

Went this morning on my way to the laundry mat and to buy $100 Powerball ticket! It was early and I was the only person there. A lady from the back said hello as she was getting the doughnuts ready. It gave me time to look but I ended up waiting for sometime. Finally the lady came from the back because other people started to come in. She asked what I wanted. I clearly said I'll have 1/2 doz. of the glaze doughnut holes. I know her English wasn't all that great but talking about rude! She screamed a glaze doughnut and held it up. I said no, the doughnut holes. Then she said, is that all? At this time everyone seemed to be wondering what the problem was. I told her I wanted a coconut doughnut as I pointed to it. She held up a glaze coconut and said this one as rude as she could be. Then I pointed again and said no, the one I've been pointed at. She screamed that's the cake doughnut not glaze! Smh... The second reason why I stopped. I was feeling lucky and wanted to buy a $100 Powerball ticket. Do I have to say more? read more
