Moved to LB 4 1/2 years ago and this review has been way over due. This little hidden gem is run by a husband and wife. Located in the heart of DTLB, this mom-and-pop shop bakery offers a variety of delicious and excellent quality pastries and baked goods that are baked on premises. They have a large variety of caffeinated drinks as well as smoothies. Check out their menu as they also offer quick breakfast and lunch options (sandwiches, burritos, bagels, etc.). The sweet, cheerful, caring, helpful ladies that run the front while the magical baking happens in the back, will assist you and give you positive energy as your order is completed. I usually take my order to go but in the rare occasion I have a free morning or have visitors, I treat myself to enjoying their cozy, warm and cute little cafe which is set up to make people feel welcomed and comfortable. This place is worth visiting and highest recommended. read more

I was only able to get here one time on this trip but I will definitely be back. Everything was fantastic. My large cafe mocha was hot and chocolatey. The chocolate croissant was flaky and perfect. The apple turnovers are equally outstanding. I probably should have taken pics but I ate everything too quickly. read more

Carbs are my weakness. Seriously, this place is legit. I came in to work this morning to a box of DoLy's pastries in the breakroom and I knew my day will start off right. Breakfast of champions, ya know? CHOCOLATE CROISSANT. This lovely piece is perfectly baked golden. You know how to tell quality croissants? Its flakiness. Tell me the last time you peeled away layers of delicious butteriness off a croissant. Reminiscent of a bakery I visited in Cannes, France. You won't find this quality from a donut shop croissant because theirs will come frozen, thawed, then baked. Greasy? No, it's butter. Basically the essence of a croissant. COFFEE CAKE MUFFIN. I like a soft, fluffy muffin, which is what I got. Bonus is the mildly crusted muffin top. On top of flavor, the muffin top is what sets this muffin apart. DoLy's muffins put the store bought muffins and donut shop muffins to shame. I discovered DoLy's years ago and used to drop by every once in a while and grab a dozen for my staff. Pandemic has not changed the quality of the pastries. Still a great deal for a decadent treat. read more

I just had a horrible experience there this morning both of the ladies MARIA and LISA were yelling at me right when I walked in for me to leave if I don't purchase anything as I was on the phone walking in. I think it was because I am African American the person before me who walked in and sat down they didn't say a word to. All they said was "people come here and just cause trouble and wonder around." I said do I look like I'm homeless and they said no words. just very disrespectful. My first time there and last time there horrible experience. read more

My experience here was good! Service was good - nothing special and the atmosphere inside is super cute and cozy which is a huge plus. There's a good amount of seating for how small the place is and lots of natural light. I ordered the bagel sandwich that comes with your choice of bagel, jalapeño, cheese, egg & meat to-go. It was delicious and I would order it again! Will be coming back here on morning commutes in the future. read more

This is the type of business deserves no grace or support. Do not come here. Visiting from out of town, walked past deciding to buy a few pastries to take back home. Entered at 11:55 on Monday, we were met by a woman with white blond hair in her mid 40s-50s and asked to see if they had a large box available to put orders in while we picked out items. Picked out items, went to the cashier at 11:57. They started ringing up our items. At that point we see right next to the cashier, Happy Hour is from 12-1pm weekdays (aka a clearance sale for the things they were unable to sell in the morning for the last hour before they close.) It was at 11:58 at this point and we realized on our own, we were 2 minutes from the Happy Hour time with no notification or help from the blonde woman cashier. She had finished ringing everything up at this point and we try to stop her and ask if she can apply the Happy Hour and she flat out says, no. She even checks the time herself and says 2 minutes off. read more

This place is great! I love their mocha frappe (so much tastier than the ones I've tried at Starbucks) and their chocolate mousse cupcakes are delicious. :) Their breakfast items are good too. I hope to continue going here in the future to support them! read more

I had just grabbed my coffee from around the corner and was looking for a pastry for breakfast. I grabbed a ham and cheese croissant ($5.50) and made my way back to the hotel. For whatever reason, perhaps the interior decorating, I had really low expectations. I expected the croissant to be soft and stale, but was pleasantly surprised when I took my first bite and hard that loud crackle. Wow, this is a really solid croissant! I disagree that it's better than you'll find in Paris, where the butter is just better than what we have here, but without a doubt, this is one of the better croissants I've had outside France. This will undoubtedly be a return stop for me next time I'm in town. read more

Delicious Turkey Club sandwich!! All the pastries looked wonderful too. I was staying at a big hotel nearby and wanted to support local businesses. Glad I did! They were so kind and attentive and the sandwich was yummy and fresh! Next time i am in town, I will be back! read more

I tried this place out after reading positive reviews about the bakery. The parking for pick up is free and right next to the shop. I preordered the cupcakes. They were ready on time. The cupcakes are the very BEST I have ever had! The cake was between regular cake and angel cake. The frostings were very good, AND there is a wonderful surprise in the center of the cupcake. I'll come here again...and again! read more

This place always makes me smile with wonder & delight. Best muffin I've ever had -moist af & melted in my mouth in all the right ways, (apple cinnamon). The croissant sandwich was the right amount of buttery crispiness~ I sincerely apologize for blasting your toilet a good while ago: I was reminded that I'm officially lactose-intolerant & no longer in denial, as I contemplated life on the toilet again. Welps I rather deal with that than running away from rifles/diff kind of bombing/etc & my relatively dark sense of humor on your porcelain throne. Cheers & stay blessed~! read more

I was craving some cake and regret not getting the lemon poppy seed muffin. Instead, I got a cinnamon twist (this wasn't too bad though a bit bland) and 2 flavors of macarons: the salted caramel and raspberry. I bit into the salted caramel and caramel spat out the other end. Luckily I was aiming into a bag. Never had any liquid or sauce leak out of macarons before, and I couldn't finish the macarons. The raspberry one just tasted artificial. Would have preferred the filling to be of raspberry jam but it's some type of cream. Texture was really chewy - maybe too much. Before any of you call me a macaron snob and that I don't know anything about them - I've had plenty in France. I felt like I wasted my calories and tastebuds for those macarons. If I decide to come back, it would be to try a muffin, but I'm pretty disappointed overall. read more

I wanted some kind of breakfast sandwich type of food, plus something sweet. This place came up in my search, so I decided to try them out. During my research, it showed that they had macarons, which I was excited about. But when I got there, they didn't have any macarons...so, I ordered their Cream Puff instead. Cream puff looked like an ordinary one, but it had a crazy amount of cream filling! It was really decadent and tasty, but not amazing though. I ordered Cajun Chicken Sandwich for my breakfast. I asked if the sandwich can be made on croissant, and they said yes. A staff brought it out to me in a paper bag once it was made. She realized I was eating in, so she brought it back on a plate for me. It was quite large in size, which was great. I somehow thought it will be on hot/warm toasted croissant but it was cold. Later I discovered that they can make their sandwiches in hot-pressed panini style upon request... Oh well. It had a generous amount of chicken, not really spicy but had a small kick to it. Veggies were very fresh with nice crunchy texture. Even though it was cold, it still was nice and buttery, very flaky and fluffy. I was full after having half of the sandwich, so I brought the rest with me and had it for lunch. I enjoyed the sandwich, very tasty, well crafted, good quality and very filling. The price here was super affordable and the portion was great. The staffs were friendly and polite. read more

A wonderful little bakery in the downtown Long Beach area. I've only tried their pastries and they're always really good! They also have a happy hour (1 hour before closing, currently runs from 11am to 12pm) where pastries are all 50% off! It's such a good deal! I mainly get their Coffee Cake muffin and it's pretty moist and very yummy. The coffee taste is strong and it's something I wish other places made! It's my favorite. Blueberry muffin is good too, but there are less actual blueberries in it than I would like. Definitely come here early if you want to see the full selection. They don't make a whole lot of each per day (Maybe like ~8 per pastry?) so if they run out it's gone for that day. read more

The best croissant in the world and I've traveled many places, this is IT! I also am fond of their macaroons.

I would say this place has a small "mom and pop" feel to it. They don't have air conditioning. It's not really a place that accommodates large groups. Most of the tables are for two, and the tables are small, so anything over that would be tight. They offer baked goods mostly, but you can get breakfast or lunch. Because they close at 3PM, they do not serve dinner. I ordered a sandwich combo which comes with a side potato salad and green salad. The staff are friendly. read more

Croissants and chocolate chip cookies were amazing. Staff is great as well. We've been searching for a really great croissant in the LA area, and this place definitely exceeded expectations. Been to a few "French" bakeries that tasted like it was mass produced, but the ones here are fresh, flaky, and buttery. The chocolate chip cookies are not lacking and incredibly moist. Def bookmarked and will be coming back again. read more

The food is delicious and the service perfect. We didn't wait very long for our food and everything tasted great. Highly recommend!

Best Croissants Ever!! My husband love the apple turnovers and freshly squeezed orange juice. read more

Hey guys, I just wanted to shout out this quaint little bakery. I found her on yelp because I wanted a good scone. Ran in for a scene and came out a fan! My kids and I love just about everything here. But, my recommendation is by far...the Blueberry Muffin OR THE LEMON POPPYSEED!! Omg. These fluffy, sweet, fresh muffins are by far the best muffins I have ever had. They also have chocolate chip, banana and coffee cake. Okay, so next on my list is the crescent with raspberry. Those little flakey bites are so sweet and soft. Finally, the scones are okay. Not the best I have had, but good. The owner is always there with a smile. read more

I don't know who makes the pastries onsite but they are magicians. Every pastry is perfection. I've never been a fan of muffins but your muffins are moist and has the perfect crumb every time. Even after 3 weeks in the freezer, it defrosts into a PERFECT muffin with no signs of change. I can't make it over there often, but when I do, I always stock up. Their croissants are absolutely HEAVENLY. I serve them for breakfast when guests come from out of town. Just lightly toasted in the oven. They are always surprised to find out that I took it out of the freezer. They are just THAT good. Don't miss your chance to experience magic if you're in the area. read more

Claudia and Claudia helped us this morning. Bought the last 5 almond croissants, several butter croissants, and 2 blueberry pin wheels. Took them to a birthday brunch and they were a hit. It really was the best Almond croissant I have ever tried. Worth every calorie. They are big and full of almond paste. The dough is perfection. Customer service was great! Worth the visit! read more

I like this place, often stop by after the gym for an almond croissant - they are amazing! Staff and friendly and the service is great! Will probably stop by next time I go to the gym haha! P&B sandwich with sour dough is great too according to my wife. Had their ham and cheese croissants too and would deffo get them again. Can't wait to try the other cakes and pastries they have on display soon. read more

I have been coming to Doly's for the last 10 years. enjoying the fresh made pastries and an excellent coffee. But what I enjoy most is the friendliness of the people, from the chef Son to the rest of the employees, Claudia(2), Rubí, and the owner Julie. I cannot understand the negative reviews posted it certainly is not my everyday experience at Doly's!! read more

Good coffee, breakfast sandwich and a friendly staff, wish they had a better pastry selection. Will definitely go back

*****Do re mi and fa-so- la- ti- Do-Ly!***** Yup, that's where their name comes from. I know it because the "Sound of Music" is what I hear when I walk in this place! Everytime! Their dozen or so flavors of macarons and ice coffee are the sound of music to me! These guys are getting it and their macarons and croissants are some of the best I have had! Work with me..imagine the music playing as you sing .. Do-re-mi-fa-so-la-ti do Doe, a deer, a female deer Ray, a delicious macaron of golden sun Me, a name I call myself Far, yes it's far so I run So, so what I eat all their macarons purple,yellow, green, and red La, a note to follow so Tea, I drink with their croissants and bread That will bring us back to do...Do-Ly's!

Great food great staff best place in Long Beach. They are very welcoming I come in all the time and every time they remember my order and it always the best read more

Monday afternoon must be the wrong time to come here. While they had plenty of muffins in the display case they only had a few macarons, all the same flavor (green tea) which I'm not crazy about. So I guess no macarons for me even though this was the reason I stopped in. They had 4 flavors of cupcakes so, not wanting my trip to be a total bust, I decided to get one each of three flavors. My interaction went something like this: I'd like to get three cupcakes, please. One chocolate mousse, one vanilla bean and one lemon-rapsberry. (she grabs a container) One chocolate? Yes. One chocolate mousse and a vanilla bean and a lemon-raspberry. (she puts a chocolate one into the container) And what? A vanilla bean and a lemon-raspberry. Vanilla? Yes. (she puts a vanilla into the container) And which one? A lemon-raspberry. (points) This one? (sigh) Yes. Short attention span I guess. I also got an iced latte which was very strong and very bitter. I didn't care for the flavor of the coffee at all and only drank half of it. The cupcakes were all moist which should be commended. The lemon-raspberry cupcake was far and away the best of the bunch - very lemony flavor with a hint of raspberry. The chocolate was okay but the flavor faint. The vanilla was blah; the cream filling in the center and lack of flavor likened it to a twinkie. I obviously missed out on what everyone saw worthy of high ratings. I just felt the yelp app steered me wrong on this one. read more

Love Between Two Cookies Oh, those melt in your mouth cookie-like shells and delicious filling!! My heart races from fructose overload and the sheer thought of downing a whole box within 10 minutes of purchase. ::Enter...Doly's Delectables:: && The Gluttony Continues... Parking can be confusing for first timers (like myself) but the pay lot right next to Doly's is $1 per 30 minute unless you can get the parking guy to let you in for 5 minutes for free. Anywho, back to my macaron experience. I give it a good 3.5 but my overall Doly's visit was a 5!!! I cruised on over to quickly grab some goodies and go. My stay was a bit lengthy since the couple in front of me were picking out some macarons as well (I swear I stood there for 15 minutes as they took their precious time- a lot attendant shift change happened while I was in there). When I finally had a chance to order I asked a few questions, bought a passion iced tea & macarons, got directions (life savers), and headed out. Here's a short rundown: Salted Caramel- Nice & flavorful but not my thing Pistachio- Good but the pistachio flave isn't my fave here (&& I love pistachio macarons btw) Strawberry- One of my favorites; has a light strawberry essence Pomegranate - Same color as strawberry (come on now); with similar features as the strawberry with a little hint of tang Grape- Wasn't a big fan of this; I'm a little bit of an anti-grape flavored person because they don't taste ANYTHING like the real deal Passion fruit- Booo, I usually love passion fruit but the filling had an "egg-y" flavor Tea- MmMm...refreshing! The cookies were the fabulous chewy type, though I grew a bit found of the crisp shelled smooshy centered ones. Each cookie was consistent and delicious but I really didn't like the filling to any of them. It's more on the runny side. I let my batch sit for 5 minutes before indulging to enjoy them the way they should be but the centers melted. With that said, they're still good and I plan on coming back to feed this monstrous macaron craving. FYI- their about the size of a half dollar. I'm use to them being a little bit bigger but it's all good! Sorry new attendant dude... I swear I didn't have a slip! The guy before you said he'd give me 5 minutes to go into Doly's!! read more

I came across Doly's after searching on Yelp. The pictures of the macarons looked delicious so I knew I had to try it out. The macarons are delicious and I tried 12 out of 13 flavors. A dozen was $15. Not too bad at all. Service: The staff was very nice and patient. It was kind of hard to decide what flavors to choose from with the selection that they have. Top flavors: Tiramisu, Vietnamese coffee, blueberry, key lime, strawberry. Other flavors: Lemon raspberry, passion fruit, pistachio, toasted almond, PB&J, pomegranate, mocha madness, salted caramel. If you've never had a macaron it's quite hard to describe. It's light and airy, yet dense with a little bit of chew, then it's also creamy and has a slight crunch at first. Basically, these were some of the best macarons that I've had! *Suggestion: Get a little sampler like I did of all the macarons and try them all to find out your favorite flavors! Enjoy! read more

"I was the first woman to burn my bra - it took the fire dept. four days to put it out." - Dolly Parton Location: Downtown, Long Beach, CA. I'm really not sure who DoLy is... I think it's the older lady with granny glasses, maybe it's the dyed blonde Latina, maybe it's named after Dolly Parton or Dolly Madison with a moderne swag "L". Who knows! What I do know is DoLy's Delectables rocks! I came here on a whim, while in Long Beach in search of decent coffee. Yelp app to the rescue as I peruse the dozen choices. DoLy's Delectables looked like a win... I mean c'mon the play with the "L" in DoLy is already a win in my book. After walking a couple humid blocks I arrive in the more industrial part of town. The metro train is just outside and a couple of construction projects going up - that's the view! Yet, I have learned it's not what's outside, it's what's inside that matters most. Hey, like life itself! I enter to a very warm greeting, of course I'm assuming she's DoLy, but I didn't ask because my eyes were on her breasts, jo-king, joking, eh I couldn't resist the Dolly Parton joke. Anyways, I look at the menu and order the house coffee and a toasted bagel omelet. I later add a cream cheese muffin. Um did I really bite into a jalapeño in that omelet? I'm not a jalapeño fan, so picked out the remaining. Haha oh well all that matters was everything was fresh, very affordable, and most important... delicious! All wins! In the end, I highly recommend DoLy's Delectables, but since they have short hours 6am - 3pm, just note the bakery goods are way more plentiful in the mornings. I read a couple reviews regarding lack of service and I'm perplexed with their experience. Since my first visit, I've been back for a Strawberry Smoothie and Chocolate Chip Cookie. A relaxed spot to cool down from the humid Long Beach walks. DoLy's actually has outlets for your cell and a gender neutral bathroom if you must! Yes, it's at a rather odd location, and who knows who DoLy really is, but she's certainly worth the near 5-Stars even without a bra or a Jenner! read more

Found this hidden gem. The croissant breakfast sandwich was delicious. I saw they were making the croissant from scratch. It was very buttery, flavorful and flakey. I also had a vanilla latte which was very good. The price was extremely reasonable. The service was friendly and helpful. Since it was my first time there the lady described all the pastries and the menu breakdown. The inside was clean. I will definitely go back. read more
