Fruity pebble, blueberry with lemon glaze, passion fruit, and blueberry crumble
Andrew S.

The first time I came this place was closed, but I saw the open sign and finally was able to try it. The donuts are delicious and there is a good amount of variety. My favorite so far is the blueberry crumble. I also like chocolate on chocolate but they didn't have any when I went. The lady working was very sweet and said she'd mention that I liked them to the owner and see if they can do them more often. I came in the try 1 donut and ended up getting 4 because I knew my wife would want to try some like the passion fruit. The place is also quite nice and inviting inside. You could come here and get a coffee and work (not sure if there is free WiFi).

Long Beach never ceases to amaze me. There are surprises everywhere. I drove by this afternoon on my way to run an errand. I was hoping to stop by 7/11 or a big chain coffee shop to get an iced coffee and I saw a donut shop in the corner of a small shopping center. When I walked it I immediately felt a positive energy. The wall on the right is a beautiful bright yellow with art and there were tables and plants hanging around. I ordered the Sea Salt Ice Coffee and it was so good. It's on the sweeter side but an easy fix if you don't like it too sweet. I also had a dozen donut holes for $2. It was a lovely experience with delicious coffee and donuts. I'll be coming back again soon to try all the other goodies.

Strawberry glazed donut
Maya N.

Freshest tastiest donuts in the area. My favorites are all the blueberry and strawberry options. The green tea banana smoothie was delicious and not too sweet. They have other milk options like oat milk and almond milk. The vegan donuts are great too. Best service thanks to Jessica! We're always happy to run into her.

Vegan Blueberry Apple Fritter‼
Stephanie S.

Sweet Retreat has, BY FAR, the best vegan blueberry apple fritter on the planet! Don't sleep on this one....it's only available on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays...and they sell out fast! Oh, and forgot to mention... I'm not even vegan...

Strawberry  Hibiscus  with chia

2nd time here & definitely returning Best vegan donuts in town and drinks first time I ordered matcha this time I ordered strawberry Hibiscus the best

Vegan donuts (maple, vanilla fruity pebbles and sprinkles and lemon)
Y R.

I love this places. Our son has a dairy allergy and we've been on the hunt for dairy-free/vegan treats and found the perfect place. The lemon flavor had to be our favorite! They primarily have non-vegan options but we were told they have more vegan flavors on the weekend. We will definitely be back!

Wowwwww, this is what a donut shop should be like. Sweet Retreats has raised the bar in so many ways. The cleanliness, quality, customer service, organization & variety. The attention to detail is amazing. I will definitely return.

Awesome donuts! I'm not vegan, but if you are they have a great vegan selection. I ended up going with the Halloween ones. I got the coco one which was pistachio glazed and a red velvet cake ghost one. The person that helped me at the counter was extremely friendly and helpful! I'd definitely come back again. The decor was really cute, the place was really clean and they have little areas for you to sit and eat your donuts if you don't want to take them to go

Flaming hot Cheeto donut
Valerie G.

Such great service. The lady acknowledged me and was so friendly. I ordered the flaming hot Cheeto donut. It was surprisingly delicious I even had to share it with my friend so she can experience the flavors. She was also so surprised and had to tell her friends. It's a nice place to drink and eat and relax.

Apple Fritter

We are visiting from Texas and took a chance on this donut spot. No regrets! These were delicious and the service was great also.

Sweet Retreat Donuts is a Long Beach gem. My husband and I mainly came here for the vegan donut selection and we were not disappointed. So many options to choose from! We shared the vegan tiger tail, vegan chocolate raised donut, and 6 donut holes. Often times vegan alternatives don't have the same taste and texture as the original, but we didn't notice any difference as we unapologetically scarfed them down. The vegan tiger tail was our absolute favorite - a glazed twisted donut with a chocolate and cinnamon swirl. The chocolate raised donut was simply perfect. As far as the vegan donut holes go - I could eat 1 million of those and still be craving them. We also thoroughly enjoyed our iced Vietnamese coffee and iced mocha. The service was great and quick and the interior seating was cute and cozy for a little morning date. I am from out of town but I will purposefully put myself in the Long Beach area to be able to enjoy THE BEST vegan donuts again!

1. The donut was comforting, and the coffee was refreshing! 2. The spot has a fun yellow art wall with plant aesthetics around! 3. The staff were very friendly and offered to make a fresh sprinkle donut for a kid! Note: There is very limited parking, so I parked on MLK Ave (Restrictions on the Weekdays)!

Visited this place for the first time to celebrate my birthday this past weekend and it was such a…read morewonderful experience. Firstly, since it's all plant-based, I was able to eat literally anything off the menu, which is always delightful. Started the meal with a Tricolore Salad and the Pizza Montanara for appetizers. The Salad was good, best when you can get a bit of every ingredient in each bite. The Pizza Montanara was hotter than magma when we received it, but once it cooled and we were able to tear it into pieces, it was very, very good. These two items themselves would be a great light meal. We had glasses of red wine with the main course, which paired well with the pastas we chose. One Vesuvio, which was really tasty with a little chili heat (not so much so that it made eating it a rough job,) and another pasta dish that I can't recall the name of that was very lemony and cooling. We both shared these dishes and the alternating between the two very different flavor profiles was really fun. The online menu doesn't have these pastas listed in the "Dinner" section, but the in-store menu did. The only thing that was kind of a bummer was that they were out of things like meatballs, olives, and a couple other items, but we were still able to choose dishes that were delicious. The restaurant's vibe is very laidback and like, elevated casual, if that makes sense. They have great little water glasses and everything has a modern feel, from the green decor accents to the fancy pasta forks, which are the first of their kind I've ever seen. The bathroom had a bidet, which was my first experience with the same, and it was cool and fun. Thorough! I laughed at the sticker on the bidet saying it WILL spray you in the face. All in all, this was a fantastic experience. Definitely be patient with finding parking, as we all know how 4th Street is. This will likely become a favorite celebration meal destination.

VEGAN REVIEW OMG,…read moreso good! I'd argue that this spot rivals Pura Vita for amazing vegan Italian. Hubby & I shared a caesar salad, meat lovers pizza, sausage pasta & lemon blueberry pound cake. Everything was absolutely delicious-- fresh ingredients & amazing flavors. Lovely ambiance, nice indoor/outdoor seating. Friendly service. Everything is made from scratch to order, so enjoy a leisurely meal.

1st timers today, and will def not be our last visit…read more Shout-out to the Yelp reviews lead us to this Amazing Smash burger joint. Our order: -Onion rings (the right batter to sliced onion ratio & delicious seasoning); -the french fries- crispy and the right amount of salt seasoning *dipped into their Jalapeno ranch, and you will be left smiling!* -the Works: What a burger! I love Portabello mushrooms, caramelized onions, and Persian cucumbers, so when I read that on the menu, I knew I had to order this, and I am not disappointed! This hit the spot. The smash patty topped with my favorites made for a perfect burger filling party. -the Don Chendo burger- the salsa Don Chendo on a jalapeño-Cheddar bun - culinary innovation at its finest! For non-spicy eaters like myself, you can eat this. This is definitely tolerable spice with a delicious flavor that overrules any "heat". The buttery, softness of the bun with the cheddar and jalapenos melted into it compliment the flavors of the patty, red onions and Chendo sauce. Having a burger is a rare craving for us, and thankfully our taste buds led us here this time that we did, because we were left, not only satisfied, but can safely say that this is one of the fewest Exceptional burgers we have tried thus far. Burgers are huge too! You def get more bang for your buck here. Staff was very welcoming, friendly and attentive toward us. We truly appreciated the warm greeting and them making sure we felt comfortable with their product deliveries coming in/out of the restaurant while we ate. Not too big & not too small of a place. Ample seating booths make for a comfy social occasion. We highly recommend to All! & will return again!

Refried beans; crispy tots; vegan cheese; avocado; mushrooms -- hearty; filling; and layered properly. But what really makes this burrito stand out are the house-made sauces. The salsa has the perfect heat; and their vegan dipping sauce elevates the entire experience. You can taste the intention. Now let's talk about the burger. The vegan burger is not an afterthought here. It's juicy; well-seasoned; and balanced. The texture is on point; the toppings are fresh; and it holds its structure without falling apart. You can tell they care about execution. Between the house-made sauces; the fusion flavor profile; and the consistency across both items; Sideburns earns its spot. If you're in Long Beach and want vegan comfort food done right; this is absolutely worth pulling up to.

Celebrated a Birthday dinner here tonight! Even though the restaurant was super busy, the service…read morewas still amazing. Our waiter Karn stayed friendly, attentive, and made sure we were taken care of the entire time, which honestly made the experience even better. We ordered the Thai Iced Tea, Calamari S&P, Crab Rangoon, Seafood Medley (medium spice), Orange Chicken, Pad See Ew with chicken, and Spicy Fried Rice with chicken (medium spice). Every dish came out hot, fresh, and full of flavor. The Calamari S&P was crispy and seasoned perfectly, the Crab Rangoon had a great crunch with a creamy filling, and the Seafood Medley was packed with seafood and had just the right level of spice and leftover sauce for the white rice on the side. The Orange Chicken was crispy with a flavorful sauce, the Pad See Ew was rich, and the Spicy Fried Rice had amazing flavor with a nice kick. The food, atmosphere, and especially the service made this such a great experience. You can tell the team works hard to keep everything running smoothly even during a rush. Definitely looking forward to coming back!

Every dish we've tried has been full of flavor and genuinely worth ordering. Surprisingly, compared to other Thai spots, it's usually not overly packed and honestly I'm almost scared to say that because I don't want it to change. The service has always been great, the food comes out quickly, and the portions/prices feel reasonable. So far, our favorites have been the pad see ew, tom yum soup (medium spice), egg fried rice, fried calamari and the beef BBQ which was so good we immediately ordered a second plate. The mango sticky rice is also really good, but the portion is on the smaller side, so we ended up getting two orders since one plate is hard to share with more than 2-3 people. Parking has been easy for us so far since there's both a parking lot and nearby street parking. Definitely one of our favorite restaurants that's officially in our regular rotation.
