Here's a brief sum-up of my experience here at this oddly named place. We arrived here around 1pm on a Wednesday. PROS + Their known for their brightly-colored French macarons ($1.50 each). At the time I was there, they offered 4 flavors: orange chocolate (tasted like a giant Fruit Loop with chocolate filling), raspberry (flavored jam filling), coconut (coated in a white glaze; very sweet), and salted caramel (didn't try this one). The cookies have a good density to them that is crispy without being too hard, and just enough filling to be satisfying yet not overbearing. + The interior of the venue is actually quite pleasant, with plenty of seating, and would be a nice place to try out their wifi. + Since this part of town has dedicated bicycle lanes, you could bypass the parking issue by biking if you're a local. They have bike racks out front shaped as a coffee mug and cupcake. + Friendly service. Even asked for my input on what I'd like to see there. CONS - Parking: metered or paid lots. If you had the choice, probably go with street parking. Lesser of two evils. - I wished they had more selections, but this is probably more to do with the fact that we arrived here in the afternoon rather than early morning. Speaking of which... - Hours of operation: Monday thru Saturday 6am-3pm. Very sad that they're not open later. I assume they make custom cakes, as my companion pointed out a Hello Kitty cake sample on top of the front display counter. read more

I stopped here on the way home one morning and I was really happy with what I ordered! I got a caramel frap which was SO good. Way more caramel flavor than I've ever tasted when I've ordered from Starbucks, and it was only $3.80 for a medium-sized one. I also got a banana-nut muffin, which was honestly the best banana-nut muffin I've ever had. Not dry at all, and it was just the right amount of sweetness. Very cute place to study or get work done. Will definitely be back :) read more

I met up with a friend here for lunch, but I'm not going to lie... I only wanted to come here for their Red Velvet Cupcakes and their Macarons. I got a breakfast burrito which was really nothing to rave about... So I guess I'll just rave about their treats instead, I mean, after all that was the sole purpose of this trip. I got a Red Velvet Cupcake, and six different Macarons to-go. Their Red Velvet Cupcake was okay. I wasn't too crazy with the cream/frosting that they used for it, I've had better. However, I loved the Coconut, Almond, and Pistachio Macarons... Kind of wished I had some to munch on right now while I'm writing this review. I found the Raspberry and Blueberry Macarons to be too sweet for my taste and I honestly can't remember what the Green Tea taste like. Hmm, maybe they'll have my Red Velvet Macarons the second time around? read more

My family and I came here for breakfast a few days ago. We all ordered the breakfast croissant and some pastries. I got to try the breakfast croissant, bacon quiche, cinnamon roll, madeleines, and chocolate croissant. It was all delicious!! Service was very friendly. The only thing is that later that night we all had very upset stomachs.. My guess is that it was due to the breakfast croissants... So next time we are going to skip those and just stick with the pastries. read more

Pretty livid. 1) I ordered a NON-FAT blended caramel mocha and they completely ignored my request and added 2% and 1% reduced fat milk. I didn't realize it until I researched the milk they use there and the color labels representing the fat content of the milk. To people who watch their calorie intake closely, this is extremely important and I find it appalling that they aren't concerned at all about what their customers request. 2) We ordered macarons here and they are the worst we've had. They tasted stale, as if they reuse the ones they don't sell; so they're days old. We thought we'd give this place a shot because it's footsteps away from our condo, but we are never coming back. I suggest you do the same! PS - If you ask for fat-free milk and they use a milk carton with a blue or red label, flag them down and tell them to make your drink over again with the right type of milk. read more

Cute place. Good amount of seating. I came after 12:30 and most of the pastries were gone. That's a good sign I guess. I was really wanting a cookie but didn't see any so I went with a macaroon which has specific directions on it. Let it warm to room temperature. Wow. It was a bite of strawberry heaven!! I'll have to stop back in for a sandwich next time read more

I've only ever tried the macaroons here and they're delicious. Really nice set up, there's eiffel towers on the tables. All of the pastries look tempting and scrumptious. I've got to come try other things but for now I'm satisfied having tried those pretty patties. Don't pass on macaroons at Dolys read more

Loving to visit small business, I searched out macarons closest to where I spend a lot of time in Long Beach. Lo and behold, Yelp brought me here. Since I love coffee and macarons, I decided to give this place a try. I enjoyed my first visit, based off that, my review would've been five stars. The iced caramel macchiato I ordered was delicious, the milk espresso portions were perfect. The macarons I ordered were all really good. (I don't remember which ones I got because I had so many!) Unfortunately I must give this local business a 4 because the quality of their coffee has gone down. The taste isn't quite as delicious lately, but their macarons are still amazing and the flavors are creative! Salted caramel, birthday cake, and red velvet are my favorite so far! read more

The bakery is going to be on the left hand side when you are driving down Broadway. The bakery itself is a good size, it has a small inside dining area. The first time I came here, I picked up two butter croissants, two chocolate croissants, and one raspberry cheese croissant. All of the croissants here were good. It was flaky and buttery. I also ordered 4 vietnamese coffee macarons. Those were good as well. The total came out to be $16.75. The pastries are a bit expensive, but I think it is worth it. I will be coming back. Next time, I will try parking in the side lot. read more

Oh I'm conflicted!! I have an ongoing 'best croissant' list, and I keep flip-flopping between Doly's & Baguetier. Since my first review of Doly's, I have tried a bunch of additional items, and today I had possibly the best ham & cheese croissant from them. I put Doly's at #1 on the croissant list for the ham and cheese croissant, and Baguetier at #1 for the plain croissant. That may change tomorrow but that's where I stand today. Stopped in at Doly's at 8am today, and that is the time to go. Pastries were coming out of the oven, and I had a bunch of hot, fresh, amaaaazing choices to pick from. Went with the ham & cheese croissant and Oh Em Gee. Holy lord was I in heaven. It is flaky, salty, creamy, sweet - a little bit of everything that makes me happy. Based on today's experience, their ham & cheese croissant has jumped to #1 on my Doly's favorite things list too. Other favorites: Blueberry Pinwheel - Another holy lord moment. It's a croissant with a little bit of sweet cream cheese (unless I'm mistaken) and some sweet blueberries. Just enough crisp pastry and just the right sweetness. Wow. Blueberry muffin - THE fluffiest blueberry muffin I have EVER had. I was in amazement and giddy at how light and airy and soft and fluffy it was. Again, perfect sweetness. It's huge too! So good. Mini plain croissant - flaky, buttery, just the right size. Nice crisp base, fluffy inside. Oh my. Of course, all of their macarons are still the bomb (especially the brown ones - Vietnamese Coffee, PB&J, Salted Caramel, Tiramisu). Chocolate croissant is one of the best I've had anywhere. Next on my list will be the almond chocolate croissant (so I can compare it with Roqc Cafe's which I tried recently), bread pudding, & cupcakes. I seriously have not been disappointed with anything I've tried here. Shocking. Love this place SO much! Oh and they can also make macarons for special events. I bought them for a client's wedding, and they were gone in under 30m (and raved about by everyone). Win! read more

I don't know what's the hype all about but I wasn't impressed at all! I got the macaroons, almond croissant, lemon bar and the passion fruit iced tea. I justify this sweet overdose by telling myself I have to try a variety of things to give a good review *ahem* I never had these types of macaroons before but I took one bite and skipped it. I was so disappointed because after reading these reviews I just knew I would love them! I ordered a vanilla and a snookerdoodle, two of my favorite flavors, and didn't like them at all! I may just not like macaroons because I took them home to my family and everyone loved them! I took another bite of each to make sure and still didn't like them. Had to make sure! The almond croissant was very greasy and didn't have too much filling. I love love love almond croissants and this was the first one I've had that I didn't care for. The passion fruit iced tea wasn't good either, it was too watery. The lemon bar wasn't too bad but I wouldn't order it again. I don't know what happened but I like sweets and didn't find anything to come back for. The people were nice and the place was clean and decently sized but that won't make me come back. Plus it's hard to find being on a tiny street...I would just skip this place and go to Torrance Bakery! read more

Such a great Dirty Chai! Creamy and flavorful! Excellent prices too! Ditch the bux and support local, you won't be disappointed.

The kids and I decided to try this place out after we read over some of the reviews. Since we love French macaroons, we figured why not. We enjoyed all of the macaroons we ordered. Alll were flavorful, and the outside had just the right amount of chewiness. Our favorite was the salted caramel. We also tried the creme brûlée, it was okay, nothing to write home about. The staff was nice and polite, they were also very patient with us, being as though I had kids with me that couldn't make up their little minds on what kind of goodies they wanted to try. The only draw backs here is the parking and the fact that they close at 3:00pm read more

Still loving this place. I haven't been back for awhile since I was on a summer diet but this place is always making new flavors for me to try every time I come. This time I was able to try grape, lavender, birthday cake and pomegranate. Pom was absolutely delicious. I cut it in half and gave my Co worker the other half and all I could hear from him was mMmm, my thoughts exactly after I bit into it as well. Good thing I was able to snag the last one today. Birthday cake was also good. I'm not a fan of the other two purple ones. Their classics Cafe sua da and pistachio are still good as I remembered from a year ago. Consistently good. Gotta love it! read more

Delicious!!!! Bought every one of each flavor that was left on VDAY, but sadly dissappointed that didnt get a chance to try salted carmel and vietnamiese coffee macaroon. :T been wanting to try them both but oh well, guess nxt time. But will only come down here if I hve a sweet tooth craving. Personally, Ill stick with the refreshing macaroon like blueberry, passion fruit, pomagrante or any of the macaroon that has has different flavor. And all the macaroon that I bought really stick to their own flavors like red rasberry chocolate and pink lemonade those were dee bomb!!! But they are very filling, But I know I wont getting the coconut or sesame seed macaroon, it was alright but too much for my taste bud to handle lol. read more

They have a large selection of macaron flavors, and all of the ones I have tried have been delicious! Favorites include Passion Fruit, Lemon Raspberry, Vietnamese Coffee, and Rose. Each macaron is $1.50 and is sold individually, there is no deal currently for buying 6 or 12. The macarons are baked that morning and are a bit chewy and tough if you choose to eat them the day of purchase. However, the macarons are divine when eaten the following day. The extra day allows the macarons to take up moisture from the filling as well as the air and become wonderfully soft with a subtly chewy texture. It is hard to resist, but it really is worth the wait. read more

Almond cream cheese croissant, the best kind of croissant ever! this place is in the middle of downtown long beach, and parking would suck if you come at any time that is not very early. the food: i loved the almond cream croissant, super delicious! the french macaroons were awesome as well. i did think raspberry was particularly delightful. the grape was kind of funny tasting i thought it was like an actual grape in my mouth, not the artificial grape flavor stuff. the coconut was good, as well as all the other flavors. the only flavor i found to be weird was the orange chocolate. it was ok but i think i was just expecting more. the place: its got street parking, and you have to pay. the place is connected to a building. i have no idea what kind. the restaurant itself is very clean, and fairly quite. they make sandwhiches and bake in the back. you can see them make sandwhiches. this place is pretty is a nice place to have braekfast and lunch. it has tv's all around and it is nicely decorated, although kind of plain. it looks like a regular diner. but a nice one. would definitely come back for more croissants and macaroons. read more

Brought a dozen of their macarons and a dozen muffins/croissants to work and everything was gone within the hour. Everybody loved what they had and didnt stop raving about the macarons. I already got a request from a coworker for me to go back and pick something up for her birthday. I had the almond croissant for myself and it was the most amazing thing i've eaten in a long time. Even though it was covered in powdered sugar it was just the right amount of sweet and savory. Love this place and I'm sure my coworkers will make me go back to pick up breakfast again and again. read more

I was taken to DoLy's Delectable for brunch while visiting my cousins in LA. We ordered sandwiches, coffee, and 2 boxes full of their pastries. The sandwiches are good enough to make you want to come back, but I'm sure the main reason why you would come back is for the baked goods. As most of the reviews have already mentioned, their Macaroons are Amazing! Unfortunately for my cousins, I ended up snacking on half of the batch that we ordered. I was hungry and they were delicious =) Also, if you guys visit this place, you gotta try their almond croissants. Really wish we had something like this back in Davis for a night time snack when studying or writing up papers. The owners are just wonderful! Friendly and cheerful, these two really know how to make you feel welcome. We chatted for a bit about the pastries, and found out that they make their goods from scratch every morning. No surprise to me when I tasted their macaroons. Is it me, or do they remind anyone else of 'pretty patties'? Random thought- had to get it out there. I had a really pleasant experience here and hope that if anyone else is in the area to give it a try. read more

The kind lady owner gave me and my daughter free tiramisu macarons and they were OUT OF THIS WORLD good! I ended up buying a dozen of them and some other baked goodies:) I have a friend who had french macarons at Payard and Bouchon in Las Vegas but I think I'm good with Doly's:) I think you guys rock! Thanks again for the freebies:) Special mention to Chef:) read more

I went here with my friends around 10am (thank goodness it wasn't crowded or anything, they even said it was a bit slow that morning). Anyways, I went to try some of their french macarons and let me tell you, they were some of the best I've had. Luckily, they had their full spread of macarons! I've heard that they run out by noon, so coming here early was a plus. I got four flavors: almond, salted caramel, vietnamese coffee, and pistachio. I left them in my car for a while and they melted (sad face), this was quickly remedied when they were put into the refrigerator. The taste: amazing. For 1.50 a macaron, I was definitely surprised! I was satisfied after eating two and I was able to save the rest for later. I will definitely be coming back here! read more

Their macarons are to die for. I tried like 7 different flavors (sorry, forgot which ones), but my favorite were the Vietnamese coffee and the pumpkin flavors. I'm a little bit obsessed with macarons, and I don't know why, maybe it's because they're so delicate and pretty looking, yet surprise you with their pop of flavor, but for $1.50 a piece, you seriously can't go wrong even if you're not a macaron person. This place is definitely going to be my go to place for macarons. I'm not really a macaron connoisseur because I've only tried macarons from 'Lette and Bottega Louie, so I don't know the specifications to what makes a perfect macaron, but I can tell you that these are delicious. In my opinion, better than 'Lette. But I'm still going to choose DoLy's over Bottega Louie because the price makes it soo worth it. read more

I found this place through yelp and I was really excited to go, because I saw they had all kinds of macaroons!!!! Once I get there, I see no macaroons! Not one! I asked the worker and she said they only make them when they receive their special ingredient! I asked her when was the last time they received there shipment and she said a month ago!! I drove all the way to Long Beach just to be let down! I believe it's false advertisement and yelp should have a little side note telling potential customers to call before going over there and being sadly disappointed like I was. :( read more

DoLy's Delectables - What I ended up getting after I was sadly disappointed that they had NO MACAROONS !!! It was ok. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Long Beach, California

These are quite possibly the best macarons I have had anywhere, and I am amazed they are $1.50. Normally I pay $2-$2.50 for macarons that are much smaller so this was a great price. I have had macarons that had good flavor and macarons that have nice texture, but not many that have had both. These were not only delicious in flavor but the perfect consistency. The chocolate raspberry and salted caramel were both amazing. Not too sweet as macarons can sometimes be, the flavors were definitely present, and they melted in your mouth. Matcha was also very good. I also had a passion fruit iced tea which was great- lightly sweetened and very refreshing. Also tried a mini chocolate ganache tart, only 75 cents, and delicious, flaky, and choclatey. The staff was nice and very helpful. If I lived around here, I would probably be back often. read more

Easy 5 stars for this place. I am pretty sad to say that I used to live across the street from this place but recently moved out of the area... MY LOSS! Best croissants outside of Europe. Bold statement, but I'm definitely willing to back up my statement. I also get the assorted Macaron's too. My favorite is the PB&J or Pineapple. Owners are super nice and prices are great. I believe 12 macarons is $10. I stop by this place every time I'm in the area. read more

$1.50 per macaroon. $15 for a dozen. There is no sampling so if you've never tried it its a bit of a gamble. They were chewy but slightly either too sweet or too soft, depending on the flavor. Can't say these were the best. Some of the flavors did not really taste like what it was named. The texture was not consistent. Take the free shuttle to get around. Would not go back since there are plenty of better macaroons at other places. Not worth the drive. Not much customer service. Slightly snobby. read more

Stopped by here and they had NO macarons! The picture on yelp was deceiving. I ordered a mocha anyway and it was blah! This place can use a good cleaning and let's not mention about the bathroom! read more

I have been passing by this place since it opened, and now I am kicking myself for that. The food is great, the prices are right, the staff is friendly. It is much bigger on the inside than I thought it was from the outside. Haven't even tried their baked goods but I'm looking forward to sampling them in the future. read more

Macarons are cute and a little overpriced for their size (but what macaron isn't overpriced?) I recommend: rose, matcha, pistachio, blueberry, toasted coconut, and pomegranate. They do offer 12 macarons for the price of 10! read more

Plain exterior, relaxing and delicious inside. I especially love the almond croissants, and the muffins are amazing.

I was introduced to this place through a friend, who knew the owners. I will maintain a very objective review but let me tell you, my experience here was far from ordinary! First off, we had just come from the Cupcake Extravaganza and was craving something savory. Julie and Son quickly fixed up a couple cajun chicken sandwiches and they were amazing. For only $6 bucks, you get a HUGE sandwich (I still have half), a side of potato salad, and a side spinach salad. We also grabbed a couple fruit smoothies, which were very refreshing. During our visit, we got to taste their delicious French macarons. They seriously have this down and I would say that they are comparable to Bouchon's, no kidding! We also took home a couple of pastry boxes filled with their famous croissants and baked goods. Honestly, you HAVE to try their pain au chocolate, the almond croissant, and the cream cheese muffin. My mom does not have a sweet tooth at all but she couldn't stop eating. After one night, my family has almost finished the box of 10+ baked goods that I brought home and wants more!!! I was lucky enough to be given a personal baking lesson and special macaron tasting privileges but trust me, that did not sway my opinion about their baked goods. Their croissants speak for themselves and the message is loud and clear. DoLy's Delectables also does special occasion cakes, breakfast, and lunch. Well worth the visit and 50 minute drive to Long Beach. Thanks Julie and Son for a wonderful experience! read more

Ohh maa goo'nessss ohh ma goo'ness finally, a place for delicious deliciousness, pastries!.. in Long Beach. strawberry cheese croissant, buttery, flaky.. YES. you dont need to know when i went, what i was wearing, what the temperature outside was like.. just know that it will fulfill your pastry cravings. Thats it. read more

Macarons! Macarons! Macarons! Maybe once I calm down I will be able to form my thoughts better... For now, all I have to say is that I am love with French Macarons and I am so happy to have found a place so close to home! I have driven by this place a million times after work and never knew what was waiting for me inside. I am also a big fan of cute bakeries that feature breakfast, lunch, coffee and pastries - so I pretty much have hit the jackpot. This place is nicely designed inside and there is a lot of open area to view the chefs in action. I only wish you were open later, but I understand and will make the proper adjustments in my schedule to visit you often. Oh DoLy's! Im so glad I found you! xoxo read more

Doly's has the best butter croissant in Long Beach! And the fruit filled croissants are delicious too. Get there early for these baked goods because they will run out of some as lunch time approaches. Pleasant staff. The owners are lovely and hardworking and I thank them for making the best croissant! read more

DoLy's is a straightforward cafe, and a gem in the area. Good service, good food, and no pretense. I stumbled upon D0Ly's while walking around the area looking for lunch and ended up ordering a sandwich and coffee. The sandwich was fresh, a great portion size, with two small sides (potato salad and spinach salad). The iced coffee was simple and exactly what I was looking for. I'll plan to come back for the croissants soon! read more

While searching for the nearest Starbucks on yelp, Doly's popped up. After reading reviews and looking through photos I was convinced that it was finally time to try French macaroons. I went the next day knowing I wanted to try macaroons and the Cajun chicken sandwich. They were both great!! I think I found my new addiction. The only down side is their hours. They close at 3pm, so during the wk the only time I have to go is before class and work. I think I'll sacrifice my sleep early in the morning for a macaroon fix though :) read more

We stayed at the Hyatt Regency for a couple of days and wanted to spend our time walking and enjoying the local eateries. Came upon DoLy's thanks to Yelp, and we were so happy we did. We had the super delicious breakfast sandwich on the best croissant I've ever had. We also got a bbq chicken sandwich which was also very tasty with fresh ingredients. Finally we got the macaroons which I had never had before. My girlfriend fell in love with them. They were so amazing that the next day on our way out of town, we stopped by to get a couple dozen to take home to the family. This place is truly a gem. Oh by the way, don't make the mistake we did by trying to park in the lot next to the restaurant. A chihuahua of a man came out of his doghouse and started barking at us about how we weren't allowed to park there. Then when I said my bad and I was just going to drop my girlfriend off, he started mad dogging both of us like he wanted to fight. What a pathetic little man. Anyway, park on the street if you're driving here! read more

I love their food here and their macarons. I might be a little bias because it is my cousin's place but I know good food when I taste it. I recommend going here if you're in the downtown Long Beach area. The employees are such amazing people too. read more

I work in the building and thank god for DoLys! They also make vegetarian breakfast burritos if you ask (no meat and substitute spinach, tomato or onions) for us vegetarians!!! You can also park right in the lot for free if you are doing a quick pickup or just 1 dollar if you eat there (unless you are there for a long time). Yes the macaroons are awesome, but don't forget the quiche in the mornings. and don't forget about their super fresh sandwiches for lunch!!! 100 STARS FOR DOLYS!!!! read more

DO NOT go here to study.. I thought it would be the perfect place to study, since it was fairly empty.. However, this place is so loud! I'm not sure where the noise was coming from, but it sounded like water rushing through pipes above the ceiling the entire hour I was there... Other than that, the staff was very friendly and the caramel latte was delicious! read more
