Doly's Delectables is a must-visit if you're in Long Beach! I started with the avocado toast, which was seasoned to perfection! They're known for their croissants, and it's easy to see why: buttery, flaky, and absolutely delicious. The real highlight, though, was catching them on a day they made fresh cinnamon rolls. Warm, soft, and with the loveliest hint of lemon woven through the flavor. Honestly one of the best cinnamon rolls I've had. Can't wait to go back and try more of the menu!
Been wanting to try this precious little gem. Bought a breakfast burrito and it was so good. At 12 noon they have what they call "happy hour" for the pastries ! I'm in love with the architecture/vibes! The sunroom affect and of course an older building! Service.... So welcoming and friendly!
Just what I needed on a Wednesday morning. I finally got to try this place out while on a long walk w my doggos. Staff was so sweet to my rambunctiously vocal pups. I was craving a simple, delicious and filling breakfast sandwich and that's exactly what I got. I ordered the breakfast sandwich w no ham (I don't eat meat) and subbed tomatoes, on a croissant. It was perfect. The coffee looked good too. I'll def come back for another sando and I'll try a tea and or a matcha next time.
I decided it's about time that I finally visit DoLy's Delectables, and I'm so glad that I did! Pain au chocolat is one of my favorite breakfast pastries, and so I happily obliged in trying one at DoLy's. It is now one of my favorite pain au chocolat in Long Beach! The buttery, flakey layers are absolutely and insanely delicious. Well done! This is the type of pastry that dreams are made of. I'll come back to try the croissant and cinnamon twist!
I had no idea that this was here, until my wife forwarded me a recent article in the Long Beach Post about DoLy's celebrating 15 years. Stopped in during a morning walk, picking up some of my favorite pastries/desserts. They were good, worth including in our rotation of pastry/donut shops in Long Beach. A portmanteau of the husband/wife owner's last names, DoLy's Delectables is located in downtown Long Beach, on the first floor of an office building. The inside is surprisingly large, with uncramped seating. They serve a variety of hot and cold caffeinated beverages, allowing a leisurely coffee house atmosphere. Someone offered to help right away, letting me take my time. I did find what I was looking for (almond croissant for $5.75), and added a couple of other things on a whim: Chocolate Almond Croissant ($5.75) and mini single serving creme brulee ($3.50), torched when you order. Brought everything home, and took sample bites to confirm that they were as good as they looked. Mission accomplished! Also learned that during the last hour of being open (noon to 1 pm, M-Sa), all remaining pastries are 50% off. That would turn them into a great deal.
I came around lunch time to get a matcha latte that was priced reasonably. I got it the regular way with whole milk and two stevia. This was the worst matcha latte I have ever had. As you can see in the picture the matcha is not mixed well and for $5.25 it is not worth it. Even if you try and mix it doesn't work. The employees were not that friendly, they make you feel rushed. The inside is clean. I will probably not be back.
I was in the area for a convention, and was looking for a quick breakfast before heading over to the convention center. We found this location through a quick maps search and saw it was on the way so we decided to try out their food and coffee. It's a fairly small space with no frills, but there was plenty of seating inside, and it seems like most just take their orders to go anyways. The staff friendly enough, and aside from slightly slower service, I didn't find anything wrong with my experience. They have a decent case of baked goods, as well as breakfast sandwich options. While nothing was out of this world, their food was solid and a great value for the price! Their coffee wasn't anything special to me, but they had a few milk options and syrups for their lattes and it got the job done. I think that if you're looking for a quick, no fuss option for coffee and breakfast this would be a great spot. I noticed that they had many regulars, and if I lived in the area I would probably be one too. It's a great local spot, and if you're just looking for a decent start to your morning you can't really go wrong here.
Definitely more of a pastry spot than a coffee one. I wouldn't go back for the coffee since the cold brew tasted off, but the pastries looked great and there were plenty of options. They do 50% off near closing, which is the best time to visit. Staff were very friendly, and it's a nice place to stop by for a light snack. Service: Very friendly and welcoming Food: Great pastry selection, coffee needs improvement, 50% off near closing is a plus Ambiance: Cozy and casual, perfect for a quick visit 7/10 Go for the pastries and deals, skip the coffee
This is a small bakery cafe' I accidentally discovered in downtown Long Beach. It is located on Broadway, near the Promenade. They have half dozen tables to sit at, almost of the business I observed was takeout. They do have a steady clientele coming into the shop. We had coffee and elected to stay to visit a bit. The coffee is pretty ordinary...nothing special. The assortment of baked goods looks tempting. They seem to specialize in French Macrons. Parking is metered on the street. $1.50 p/hr. The lady who appears to be the owner was very nice.
Great people ! The owners are very nice and know you by name if you go there long enough Happy hour is from 12-1 half off their amazing pastries ,only thing is they sell out super fast I come here at least once a week if not everyday ! Try their homemade cookies ! Always fresh !

Our company just moved into an office building in Downtown LB and DoLy's just happens to be on the bottom floor of our building. My first day at the new office I walked into the lobby and the smell of food emanating from DoLy's was so enticing, I wanted to go right away. First chance I got, I was down at DoLy's Delectables to try out their sandwiches. While I was ordering, I peered into the pastry display case and was so excited to see FRENCH MACARONS! I know other yelpers have raved about the macarons so I won't be redundant except to say that today I had the salted caramel macaron and it was fabulous! YUM! I know I'll be having more of those next time I see them available. Seems that they have different flavors each day, not all flavors are available every day. I tried their cajun chicken sandwich and it was delicious! They will hot press any sandwich and make it panini style, which is awesome. And all sandwiches come with potato salad and some greens. An excellent deal for $6. The owners are so sweet and the service is excellent. I will definitely be frequenting DoLy's and can't wait to try more of their sandwiches and baked goods. read more
I simply went for the desserts since I'm big on desserts and this place seemed like I just had to go try it out. Since I'm a BIG Red Velvet fan, I got a cupcake and macaroon. Hmmmm... cupcake was eh and the macaroon was just too sweet. This was the first time me trying a macaroon, so I don't know if that's the way they are suppose to taste. Cupcake was just too dry the icing tasted too much like Philly Cream Cheese. I've definitely had way better cupcakes than this one. Now the question is.. Would I go back?... Maybe for the breakfast burrito, but I'm done with the pastries. read more

I found this place through yelp. I walked from the hilton hotel and it was very easy to find. The people that work here are extremely nice and welcoming. I ordered the breakfast sandwich and orange juice which was good. Price was $6. What really was amazing was the french maroons. (I posted photos) Lovely people, great place to have lunch and oh so good macaroons. read more
I only tried the macarons and some chocolate mousse cake. I felt like the macarons were a rip for the quality. They looked cute enough, but I wasn't a fan. Their chocolate mousse cake reminded me of the Hershey pie at Burger King. Not impressed. Probably won't be going back. read more
I've been craving macarons for the longestttt time, but I haven't found any good local Long Beach shops to fulfill my sweet tooth until...wait for it...... DoLy's Delectables! I've made several attempts to try to come to Downtown solely for my craving, but the only thing that's ALWAYS held me back was the fact that they close sooo early! 3pm? I either have work and get off too late or on my days off, I wake up around 1pm, get ready, and by the time I'm out the door, I'm already too late! SO, the one time I finally had the opportunity to make it with plenty of time left to spare, I really wanted to treat myself to something good. I do wish I could have grabbed a sandwich and eaten there especially because the place is so much bigger inside than how it appears on the outside, but I knew I had to have my macaron fix. I just HAD TO HAVE IT!! At $1.50 a piece for those bite-sized delights, my boyfriend really spoiled me and got.......$30 worth of macarons, 4 in every flavor. Talk about having dessert for daysss! I thought he was crazy for getting that many for the both of us, but really though, it makes up for all those times I attempted to come here, but never woke up in time to do so! My favorite flavor would have to be the salted caramel, but honestly, each of the macarons were delightful, delicious, and of course, DELECTABLE. You can imagine how fast those babies ran out! So the next time I have a crazy macaron craving, I'll know just where to go...if I make it in time. read more
It was my first visit to Doly's and I will definitely come back! The Blueberry Pinwheel is so delish! It's the perfect pastry...croissant (buttery,crispy and flaky), cheese, blueberries and powdered sugar, what more can u ask for? YUM! All of their pastries and baked goods are freshly made each morning, so get there early but please save the blueberry pinwheels for me! :) read more

Came in for a dozen macarons for $15 and opted for all the available flavors of the day except for coconut and blueberry. Our options consisted of: green tea, vanilla bean, lemon raspberry, strawberry, birthday cake, maple bacon, chocolate, salted caramel, vietnamese coffee, lavender, toasted almond, and red velvet. Standout flavors: lemon raspberry, birthday cake, salted caramel, and lavender. We had left these in the car throughout the blazing hot day, and while they did melt somewhat, they were still as good, if not better, the day after we'd purchased them. The cookies were still crisp on the outside, but the insides were still soft. Yum. I've had better and I've had worse, but these were tasty.. especially for the price! read more
Before I knew about about this place, I drive all the way to Pasadena from Long Beach, just to get Euro Pane's macaroons. This place is far closer to my house, about five minutes and I get my macaroon cravings in check. Different macaroons everyday. So many selection. I love the tiramisu, pomegranate, pistachio, red velvet, and vietnamese coffee and the blueberry!!! As for the coffee, I enjoyed the caramel macchiato. I love their breakfast croissant. I think it was baked fresh. That croissant itself was just as delicate as the macaroons. It orgasmically melted in my mouth. Wifi too. A good place to study... Too bad it closes early. It's alright though, I guess... Too much of a good thing is a bad thing? Le sigh~ Let me tell the guys that you'll score massive brownie points if you get the ladies some macaroons. So far, everything I get here is like deliciously orgasmic. So earn points--brownie points-- macaroon points! And eat your macaroons slowly. You will feel that tingly feeling around your tongue. Then joy.... to an almost post orgasm level as it melts in your mouth. read more

The macaroons are good ! I'm not even a big fan of macaroons but I still try them out. The macaroons were not too sweet! And they make a pretty good caramel macchiato! Definitely a place to stop by and give a chance! And the servers are sweet! read more

Nice little place, close too the court of Long Beach. A lot of the places around the area only take cash so I found one that took card. One of the bad things of this place is the Peking situation. I had to park at a lot in front of the location. And the lot that seems to belong too a hotel or some event place. This place is an intimate location that seems to have the essentials in coffee. European and American coffee. They also seem to have n array of lunch items such as sandwiches and other items. They have a plethora of pastries such as muffins, macaroons. Not a bad place to have a coffee. I had a Red Eye with their European Blend and 2 shots of espresso. read more

Best macarons ever!!! Ordered them for my wedding since 2015 and they've always been so consistent. I can totally eat this everyday. Love that I can do private orders for events if needed. They're really nice and accommodating. Not only are they fairly priced but they're also so delightful! Will definitely come back for more!! read more

My newest fav in Long Beach! I am so excited about this place that I HAD to Yelp it as soon as I got back to my computer! I love cute foods, sweets and great customer service and this place has all 3! This was my second visit, although I didn't buy anything on my first visit because I was on a break from work and decided to go for a walk in DT Long Beach with my friend MyLinh. Their advertisement for Passion Fruit Tea is what caught our eyes, so we vowed to return and I am so glad that we did! At $1.50 each macaroon, we decided to grab two small passion fruit ice teas and split some macaroons. Two macaroons and a small passion fruit ice tea cost me $5. We tried these flavors: 1) Tiramisu - my favorite (so far) 2) Vanilla Almond 3) Strawberry 4) Lemon Raspberry The nice thing about each of these is that they were true to their flavor description. There was no mistaking the hint of espresso flavor in the center of the Tiramisu one, and the Lemon Raspberry one made my cheeks (on my face!) tingle a bit. The crunchy exterior crumbled and gave way to the softer inside and filling which made these a wonderful treat for me. Looks, texture and taste! Win! On my next visit (maybe tomorrow!) I will definitely try some other macaroon flavors (see my pic with the list of flavors) and I'll even grab a croissant. The baker, and I assume co-owner, of this place said that he recommends their croissants and that they only make the macaroons because they're trendy for now. I'd better go back and grab some more before they're gone -- and you should too. UPDATE 5/20/11: So I went there again today (two days in a row!), but this time I brought my co-workers alond and we ordered some lunch. I had a pretty big breakfast, so I opted for a bowl of their Soup De Jour, which happened to be clam chowder and I had a butte croissant on the side. Both items were tasty and I have half of each for later since I couldn't finish it all. Of course, I could leave without furthering my macaroon exploration, but instead of grabbing two or four pieces, I asked for one of each (Blueberry, Tiramisu, Vanilla Almond, Strawberry, Lemon Raspberry, Salted Caramel, Pistachio, Vietnamese Coffee and Cocout) to take home and share with my BF this weekend. They have a deal, if you get 10 macaroons, you can pick two more for free, so I doubled up on the Tiramisu, Salted Caramel, and Vietnamese Coffee for a total of 12 macaroons. I'll update which flavors are my favorite next week! My co-workers ordered the cajun chicken sandwiches (one on sourdough and the other on a croissant) and the bacon, egg and cheese bagel with a hashbrown. The verdict - Bagel was A-OK, but could've been better with pepper jack cheese and less egg, while the cajun chicken sandwich should be order on a croissant, and not the sourdough bread. read more

I've literally been waiting to check out this spot for at least a couple of years. OMG, how can you pack so much deliciousness in a bagel? I choose the omelette bagel... the omelette is loaded and STILL fluffy! The bagel is the perfect texture- light with a good chew! Awesomeness all around. The Carmel macchiato? Sublime. I mean why go to Starbucks for pre-fabricated food when DoLy's exists? Did I mention the Carmel macchiato is sublime? Not too sweet; not bitter... sublime! The atmosphere is laid back and the staff is friendly. AND they cater! Whaaaaat? GTFO what don't they do? read more
Yummy macarons!!! The ones we got:lavender, bday cake, matcha green tea What we thought: Bday cake~this one was made the best (technically) as there weren't any air bubbles and the shell stayed a shell when you would bite into it, and I thought it tasted pretty good Lavender~now this one was my absolute FAV. It's almost like your eating a flower, (in a good way!), and I could've ate 20 of these in one sitting. Unfortunately, it wasn't made very well as there were two big air bubbles all throughout the cookie so frownie face. Matcha green tea~this one was alright. I mean all of the macarons were delish, but this one didn't really stand out as the green tea flavor was not prominent at all. Overall the least favorite Workers were patient and very polite, so we definitely want to come here again :) read more

Omg the best macaroons and croissants I've ever had. The macaroon flavor that I have tried that were great were strawberry salted caramel. These two are a must try. The croissant that I have tried and recommend are the chocolate and the custard. You really cannot go wrong with anything that you try here. I really cannot wait to go back and try the Vietnamese coffee macaroon and some other yummy goodness. Totally recommend this place to anyone that has not tried it. We sure as heck can't wait until we stuff our faces with these delicious baked goods. read more
I know the macaroons are becoming popular but not quite like the boba craze, which still has survived. After so many great reviews I finally was able to check this place out. Especially since it closes so early (3 pm). I know macaroons are usually small, but these macaroons are tiny. More like 1 bite necessary tiny. A tiny baked good for $1.50. Dough comes easy. Salted Caramel Macaroon: actual caramel filling but wasn't too sticky. so no caramel stuck in my teeth. The "buns" of the macaroon was okay. Somewhat crispy. However, I did like that there was a salted aftertaste which nicely satisfied the sweet and salty craving. Tiramisu: no tiramisu flavoring whatsoever. I wouldn't recommend this. Just eat the actual cake with the lady fingers and mascarpone cheese. Environment: DoLy's is somewhat hidden. It's located near the intersection of Broadway and Long Beach Blvd. The cafe was empty on Friday at 10am. The store has a stop and go kind of feeling. Although there are several tables to enjoy the food. In all, I wouldn't necessarily recommend this place. I didn't quite enjoy them. I know Bottega Louie is quite a drive but that's a better place for macaroons. Nicer presentation and more flavors. Maybe I'll give it another shot but maybe I'm being too harsh. You can judge for yourself. read more

Tried macarons today. They're small for $1.50 each, but they are delicious. I had the red velvet, tiramisu and Vietnamese coffee. The Vietnamese coffee was the best. I loved the condensed milk filling. Tiramisu came in second. The red velvet tasted standard. Next time I will try the other flavors, and their passion iced tea read more

Their selection of macarons here is so crazy! They have so many to choose from. This is a very late review but either way this place is fantastic. We came in once they opened so everything was pretty fresh. All we got was macarons and I thought it was a good price for 20 something macarons that I purchased. They're very helpful inside and they're patient. I remember standing in front of their options because it is overwhelming. Coming from Norcal and seeing all these options, of course I got flustered. Anyway, definitely come and try this place out for their macarons! So many choices of flavors and to top it off, it's delicious! read more

The most inexpensive macarons around! And they have a great selection: blueberry, matcha green tea, mocha madness, pb&j, lemon raspberry and more! Their drink selection is also really yummy! We only tried the vanilla macchiato and passion fruit iced tea but they were so good. The macchiato is not heavy whatsoever and the passion tea was the perfect amount of sweet. Parking can be tricky. We weren't sure if we could park in the lot right next to the shop because of the pay rate sign but street parking is plentiful! read more

My friend and I finally made it to DoLy's Delectables before they closed at 3pm. We wanted to try the french macaroons. I was happy that a place so near had them. They were good and I would go back for more but they weren't as good as I've had before. My favorite macaroons are from a place popular among other macaroon eaters. I tried to savor them as much as possible by eating ever so slowly. I ate my first selection salted caramel the sea salt was a very nice touch, brought out the caramel flavor-a nice compliment to the buttery sweetness. The next I tried was Vietnamese coffee, which was good but not my favorite and I couldn't distinguish how Vietnamese coffee flavor is different from regular coffee. The cream inside seemed like condensed milk. The last but not least was pistachio, the color was so pretty and the flavor was good. The shells were on chewy side, the "foot" on them a bit uneven and I would have loved a bit more cream but overall a good way to fill my macaroon craving when I can't get to L.A. Yay Long Beach! read more

Holly crap...the bread pudding slices!!!!!! WOW. It has my "Mmmm" factor seal of approval. The bread pudding gets a solid "A". They have Delicious slices of bread pudding about the size of a slice of bread but a bit thinker. They are absolutely wonderful in taste, not overly sweet, not a shitty bland taste, just right and fabulous with each bite for any bread pudding fan. I became a fan of the quiche as well. Oh how it was very flavorful and blended well. It gets a solid "B+". I came here about 9:30 AM to try the French style Macaroon's I read such good things about on Yelp, but they weren't made yet, so I came back the next day. I have never had a French Macaroon in my life and I did enjoy them very much at $1.50 each. There are about 8 different flavors so you might hit and miss. I loved the passion fruit orange colored one and the salted caramel one. They are picture perfect and the coffee was good too. I had a Tuna sandwich at lunch the next day...but it was dry and bland I'm sad to say. Looks like a real good well-made sandwich except for the bland tuna part. But even Oscar winners have bad movies from time to time. read more
