Wow, I posted my earlier review too soon. Came back today for the second of what I hoped would be many visits and, completely different experience... First off, I could tell staff was distracted. It was obvious one person working there was still eating; I have to wonder why he bothered wearing gloves, when said gloves likely were touching his mouth moments earlier. Then, the ham & cheese croissant I purchased was rather basic. You could tell the croissant itself was store-bought, rather than made there. Wasn't toasted at all, and the cheese wasn't melted. (I was likely impressed last week due to other factors of my experience.) Finally, and I didn't know this last week, they tack on a surcharge for credit card use - a big negative in my book. Sooooo... the search for a favorite donut shop continues. read more

Have been coming here for two decades and the donuts here are the real deal--fresh and affordable! The donut holes are my favorite, they will sell out / have less options when they are near closing. The owners are super friendly too, classic mom and pop shop. If I'm in the area I will always stop buy. read more

Goody's Donuts - Outside - Donuts Near Me - Cerritos, California

I came here on a whim because I was next-door at the coffee shop and they were out of pastries. And I had swore I had heard talk of Goody's before. I was going to order a Boston cream but decided to ask the staff what was popular or recommended here. To my luck, she had said that a tiger tail tray had just come out of the oven so I decided to go with that. Boy, was I lucky that I listened to her! That tiger tail was warm, fluffy on the inside, just a tiny crisp of sugar on the outside, and it was the best donut I have ever had, melting in my mouth. The place was a pretty decent size and the selection I thought was pretty good as well. The staff is super friendly and smiled throughout the transaction. The place was also very clean and I can't really find anything bad to say about this place. Check it out! read more

Whenever I visit my parents in Cerritos, I always try to make a trip to Goody's Donuts. They have the best tasting and freshest donuts in the area. I remember going here over 15 years ago during high school and undergrad when I used to pull late night study sessions, and they'd be open by 3am. I'd go and get a little pick me up of donuts and coffee. It's still the same family working there and their quality has stayed consistent all these years. They have some of the best service and have regulars that have been going there for decades. I'd be a regular as well if I was still in the area. If you're craving some of the best donuts in town, be sure to give Goody's a try! read more

Was traveling through the area in the early morning and had promised my son some doughnuts. None are good in my area, so thought I would try this place. Definitely a simple mom/pop shop. Looking at the doughnuts I was a little worried as they were not the best looking doughnuts, but thought I would try them nonetheless. Well what they lacked perfect appearance they made up for it in taste. The bread was delicious and slightly crisp but with a nice slight chew to it without somehow losing its fluffiness to it! The maple icing one the maple bar was great. It wasn't too maple(yes totally a thing). The glaze on the glaze doughnuts were layered thin with just enough sweetness to them. And of course the chocolate was perfect for any chocolate lover! The product was great and the service also was just as high. They didn't treat us just like a random customer. He spoke to us and wished my daughter the best on her dance adventures! I appreciated that. I am sure if you are a regular there he knows you and your family. I will for sure be recommending this doughnut place to Amy one in the area! read more

This is a late post. I visited the area a few months ago and dropped by this donut shop. I ordered 2 sugar twists, one for my husband & one for me. They were delicious! Fresh, soft, and just the right amount of sugar. One of the best sugar twists I've tasted. The female employee working there was very friendly & kind. The decor was simple & the place very clean. It was later in the morning and ordered a bottle of water to go. Will definitely go back there whenever I visit the area. read more

A bit of my fault but I came in a little late (around 11 on a Saturday) and a lot of the donuts were sold out including their famous tigertails. Purchased a dozen anyway, but doughnut seemed over proofed since they were really dense and were smaller than donuts Ive had. Icing for all donuts were crackling. Staff (two women) were very friendly however. read more

Goody's Donuts is a family owned and operated business that's been there for decades. Both husband and wife were working the morning I came in, with some Long John's coming out of the fryer. I was interested in trying both the Thai Tea custard filled donuts and a Tiger Tail without glaze, but they were not available that day. Instead I got an Old Fashioned without glaze, and they threw in a twist without glaze on the house. The batter they use is not inherently sweet, so the non-glazed Old Fashioned was barely sweet. Thus next time I would get a glaze on the Old Fashioned. Yet the non-glazed twist was appropriate for an Asian palate. read more

I love this donut shop. Donuts are fresh. You see them make them as you walk into the shop the morning. The people that work there are so nice. I wish they lived near my area. But whenever I drive by, I try to stop by. I highly recommend. read more

Literally the best donuts I've ever had. Every single kind we get tastes better than any other donut shop. The quality is amazing! Plus the owner is so kind to my son and so welcoming every time we come in. We love Goody's Donuts! The best! read more

Heard great things about the tiger tail donut. Unfortunately I got there at 8:30 am this morning and it was a 20 min wait. I decided to try some on the display. They were good. I also asked if they had ham and cheese croissants and she said yes but I didn't see any on display. Price per donut is kind of pricey but for once in a while its good. I did get really disappointed that the ham and cheese croissant was store bought with a slice of American cheese and ham microwaved. Lady helping me wasn't too welcoming. read more

Best donuts in the area....yeah yeah everyone says they know the best donuts, but these are very good. Family owned, go early they do sometimes run out and close around 2 pm. read more

Firstly, I love supporting family owned businesses especially when they serve awesome food! I've actually had apple fritters from Goody's a few times when my coworker would bring them into them into the office. Decided to finally stop by since I was heading down to our Irvine office for a meeting. It was slightly before 6 when I pulled into the strip mall and still dark outside. The staff was still working hard to fill the display cabinet and sadly the apple fritters hadn't been made yet. Picked out an assorted dozen to take down for the meeting and told the owner that I would be back later that morning and requested to put aside 5 apple fritters for me. I was paying when the tiger tails had just been fried. There are few things better than freshly fried donuts. Went back to the car and devoured that tiger tail. Came back a few hours later and once again saw an empty display cabinet! The owner reiterated that it was a good thing I asked to put aside the apple fritters as they were sold out! I'd have to say the apple fritters here rank in the top 3 I've ever had. I will definitely be back in the near future!! read more

I got the custard filled donut. It was crispy on the outside and custardy on the inside. It wasn't too sweet and filled with the right amount of custard. I also got a sugar donut. It was still good and crispy at the next day. Service was fast and friendly. The store had a big selection and everything smelled like it was freshly baked. It's very old fashion looking store, no decorations or anything. But the donuts were amazing even the next day. read more

Always great and fresh donuts. Soft and delicious. Friendly staff. Great vibes. My daughter dropped her donut once and they gave her another one without hesitation. read more

I like how you can see them making donuts. They have two tables if you wanted to enjoy your donut and coffee there. They take cash or card.

My family has been coming here for generations. My grandparents would come here, my mom grew up coming here, and so did I! It's family owned and I am always welcomed here. It's a great feeling knowing that my grandparents old hang out spot is still here to this day and is something I can enjoy. The donuts here are made fresh every morning from scratch. They literally don't get better than this place. I'd take donuts from here than any other speciality or popular place. It's such a good feeling biting into the donuts and getting a nostalgic magical feeling!!! I will always continue coming here and HIGHLY recommend this place. My fav order is an iced coffee and a classic glazed donut! Best to ever do it. read more

Always fresh donuts when the craving hits! The crème and jelly filled are top-notch! One of my favorites is the tiger tail donut. If you need a quick fix, there are some drinks, bottled beverages, and decent drip coffee. But this shop mainly specializes in donuts, occasionally offering a few unique flavors. However, Goody's doesn't offer breakfast sandwiches, bagels, burritos, etc. Just donuts. I've been coming here for years to grab a treat or two, and the service is chill and friendly. The interior has minimal decor to look at other than the mouth-watering donuts. Prices are average compared to what you'll find at other local donut shops. Inflation sucks, and it affects everyone. I don't blame this hard-working shop for the increased costs over the years. They accept cash and card payments and still have an old-school register that's a fun sight every time. I'm happy to support local! read more

My husband and I were in the area and looked up the nearest donut shop to us and Goodys donut shop popped up first. Glad it did because their donut taste so good! Especially the tiger tail. My husband had the glaze twist and said it was perfect. We will definitely be back. read more

How good can donuts get? You know this place is good when a customer in front of you orders a box and asks to get it wrapped because he's bringing it with him on a plane ride to Korea. I've been here a handful of times and they never disappoint. I always bring back a box to work and they compliment how good it is compared to other donut shops. My faves are the tiger tails, cinnamon sugar twist, and the custard filled one. The filled ones are actually sliced open and filled with a good amount, not like those donuts that are filled with two bites of filling through a little hole. The donuts stay pretty crispy and fresh too. Definitely one of my top faves for donut shops! read more

Really delicious! Reminded me of my local donut shop I grew up with. The tiger tail was extremely good and I loved the donut holes we got. Not greasy and perfect amount of glaze. read more

Great service and co workers love the donuts freshly made everyday bring cash or get a .50 charge on card

It is the oldest school donut shop I've ever seen. There are some things I'd say they do better than others. The Tiger Tail is their most famous item and for good reason. If I could change one thing it's how early they close and that they aren't open on Sundays. I'd be there so much more if that were the case! read more

I decided to come here since its close to my job. The ham and cheese croissant was really disappointing like another reviewer said they use Kraft Cheese on their croissants like I could've just made this at home but the main reason I'm writing this review is because I ordered an iced coffee from here as well and a few mins later I realized the creamer looked liked this. This is disgusting and shouldn't be served to people. I will definitely NEVER be returning. read more
