Horrible attitude.

Very rude and disrespectful to customers.. First off I walked no one was around so I politely said "Hello" didn't hear response I saw the bell and tapped it once and a man comes around the corner annoyed and yells " I HEARD YOU THE FIRST TIME THERE IS NO NEED TO CALL OUT AND RING THE BELL!!!!" And I told him I didn't hear him acknowledge me and i guess he didn't believe my response so he follows up and says that I can go find another donut shop since I'm so impatient and I said gladly. Maybe get automatic doorbell so customers know or not if their presence is being acknowledged.

Taro blended

Looooove this place! The donuts are so fluffy, they taste clean! Like they don't taste like old oil or anything. The establishment itself is super clean inside. The hospitality is also top notch! So friendly and welcoming, I feel really happy when I go here. The drinks are delicious as well! I haven't had the chance to get a sandwich but I'm sure they're delicious too. This time I went I got a taro blended drink and I love it! Tastes like fruity pebbles lol my husband got a regular iced Thai tea. He said it hit the spot lol thank you for your service! I am for sure going to be a regular here. This place was here before but was closed during the whole pandemic! It is now under new management and im glad because it's so close to my house!

The best Donut Shop in Bellflower/Long Beach. Sonny is so nice and he cares about his customers. This place is so clean and everything is fresh and the ice coffee is the bomb.

4 coffee

Best coffee de Hoya you will ever have they are very nice and treat you good they have donuts from breakfast to sodas and juices one stop shop

Average size not enough filling

The journey continues for the ultimate Bear Claw... Good taste, not to sweet, but barely enough filling. Would buy it again if in the neighborhood. Like many Donut shops this is a Mom & Pop Place. Like service stations almost one on every or near an intersection.

I got a plain croissant and the bread is nice and thick on the outside and super soft in the inside. Super yum!

I was on my way to Habitat for Humanity and stopped by this place for a quick breakfast. Super sweet lady and yummy bites. Definitely satisfied with my quick turn, last minute choice lol

Signage out front :)

Donuts and coffee. Pastries and a cappuccino. Sandwich and a smoothie or boba drink? Ham and cheese croissant? Sure, Sam's has that! They also open nice and early so I can pop in and grab my order before jumping on the freeway to head off to work. Long Beach, Artesia and Lakewood have a TON of mom & pop donut shops and Sam's is my current fave. Located on the corner of Artesia & Clark, directly across from the Chevron in a tiny strip plaza next to the laundry mat. The shop is nice and open, and always clean. Within moments of the bell tinkling, you're greeted with a warm hello from the elderly lady who owns it with her husband. I don't typically do doughnuts in the morning because the overkill of sugary goodness is sometimes way to much for me and I'm bouncing off the walls haha. Anyhow, the shop is bright, light, and happy. Their displays were clean and no buggies of any sort inside. I've been to two different Granny's around the area and both had bats in the display. Gross! The selection of doughnuts, pastries, sandwiches and croissants is plentiful, for being such a small shop. I'm a big fan of their ham and cheese croissant but also on a bagel! So yummy when it's cold in the morning because the bagel or croissant is toasted/warmed so the cheese is all melty and ooey-gooey! Mm!! I've had just about 80% of their doughnut options and I'll be starting on their sandwiches and the rest of their croissants soon. I appreciate that they have a half dozen deal ($4.25/6) because sometimes, I don't want a full dozen but I also don't want just one or two. So on my semi-porky days, I grab a half dozen to go and get my sugar fix and my breakfast of champions in one stop haha. I love their maple bars, some of the better ones I've tasted. Doughnut holes are legit and not dry, all of their doughnuts are soft and moist. Never dry or stale, which you find at other doughnut shops after so many hours, yucky. Sandwiches I'm all about the #12. BLT, so yummy. They put onions on theirs, so I ask for without or take them off later, no biggie. But the bacon is soo nice and crispy and the tomatoes are ripe and definitely fresh. For a corner doughnut shop, they have pretty yummy ingredients on hand (^_^) Honestly, I come here cuz they have fresh, warm doughnuts, yummy croissants and I love the warm reception from the owners. For as long as I keep taking this particular route to work, I will continue to stop by Sam's on the mornings I'm not running behind haha, cuz their doughnuts and sammies are yumm-o!! If you're in the area, check out this cute little shop. And try one of their delicious options! Your tummy won't be disappointed.

Third time there was a huge black hair in my breakfast sandwich. Didn't go back for a long time because I was grossed out. Went back twice recently and was overcharged BOTH times. Didn't want to fuss over a few dollars the first time, but after today, I won't be back. Way too many decent donut shops around to go to an already-expensive one and then continually be overcharged. So two stars for first two experiences being fine. Here's a comprehensive breakdown of my visit today: Ordered: $2.90+$2.90+$6.25+$10=$22.05 SHOULD HAVE BEEN MY TOTAL 2 medium coffees+1 breakfast sandwich+1/2 dozen of small donuts Paid $31.30-$6.25 overcharged for an extra breakfast sandwich-.70 overcharged for coffees=$24.35 what I actually ended up being charged Overcharged by $2.30 STILL in the end After making several mistakes because apparently the girl was new and delaying me getting to work, I was still overcharged. I just don't like that. Nearly $3 for a black coffee when it costs a quarter to make and $6.25 for the most basic breakfast sandwich, which I actually hated, is expensive enough. I don't appreciate being overcharged when their prices are high enough already. That's simply not fair.

The croissant sandwiche was warm and fresh. They serve donuts, ice cream, and sandwiches (breakfast and lunch). They also have coffee, boba drinks, teas (bags) and smoothies. Looks like they make small batches so not to waste food. Service: friendly and quick. It was busy before and after I arrived so they must be doing something right. The line was out the door a few times. Seems as the women working may be mother daughter or sisters. Super friendly and always moving about with cooking and taking orders. Replenishing and replacing. And always always confirms your order so there's no mistakes. They have plenty of fruit in their fridge displayed. Ambiance: small but just enough space to sit and eat. They're open from 5am - 5:30pm so there's plenty of time to come. And if you're inclined, they have lotto scratches to buy while you wait for your sandwiches to finish.

When I asked for my two cronuts, he tried to bump me up to a 4 pack. My buddy Will-power stepped up and said no, two is enough. Like I said it had been a while since I've come here, but I think I got a little sticker shocked when he said $10.00. I'm glad I did not say yes to the four pack. It might be a while again before I go back and I hope the price doesn't double next time I go back.

Knead Donuts, located in the bustling Cerritos Promenade, has been serving artisan donuts in the city for several years, now. I'm not a big donut guy, saving them for a rare treat or when they're offered at an event. Alas, sometimes, you just gotta satisfy that sweet tooth. Strawberry Crunch- Highly enjoyable, topped with a slice of fresh strawberry, the Strawberry Crunch didn't feel as guilty as a double chocolate covered everything donut. The crumbs sprinkled on top providing texture to the fluffy donut, and I was quite happy with my pick. My initial visit was a 2 years ago. On my more recent occasion, I stopped by to see what's new. Knead closes at 1pm on weekdays (Monday closed, till 9pm Sat & Sun), and being approximately 30 minutes to close, two boxes of assorted donuts were left to choose from. Knead's Dubai Chocolate donut was a whopping $8! I tried to haggle the price down, both individually or with another donut, to no avail. No way was I planning to buy a whole box, either. Prices vary around $6-$8. Aware prices have gone up everywhere, that's still too much, in my summation, for donuts. In addition, not being a big donut guy, I don't foresee being a frequent customer. Knead Donuts does sell beautifully crafted donuts, which would satisfy even the most critical sugar junkie, but with premium pricing attached to each donut, can't justify the money spent, for my needs.

I inquired about tasing some of the Jenni ice cream flavors that they had on their menu and she mentioned that they don't have them anymore? For future, hopefully they will put a sign over the menu to let patrons know if they are out of something. Definitely not my last time here; will be coming back again!
