Knead Donuts & Tea #2

Delicious cronus of every type. We had strawberry whipped cream. Gourmet donuts at its finest.

I’ve gone to there 3 locations 2 in Long Beach and third in Cerritos all 3 have excellent service and great delicious donuts very different and unique in there own special way…my ultimate favorite is the Cream Cheese Guava Cronut Yes Yes and Hell Yes!! Thanks again for your unique Donuts!

The reviews are spot on. Tasty donut. The filling has a nice distinct taste to it for the Boston creme.

Awesome and tasty pretty and yummy these aren’t just any average donut —— These are Designer Doughnuts

Love this place! Probably the best lychee drink I’ve ever had and the donuts are AMAZING. Really nice staff, I recommend coming here and supporting this business.

Price: there are no prices available online, you walk in and there are no prices for doughnuts anywhere. I could have asked how much for a dozen, but I figured it would be around $30. Why this assumption— Voodoo doughnuts at Universal is $30 for 13. Crumbl charges $40 for 12 cookies. Katella’s gourmet bakery charges less than $5 for a slice of layer cake, a cupcake, or any cookie or piece of pastry. At Knead I purchased two sugar glaze with buttercream topping, two boston, two guava kronoughts, a maple pecan, an old fashioned red velvet, an apple fritter, a banana cream pie filled, a Nutella filled, and a strawberry jam filled. $70!!!!! That is almost $6 per doughnut!!!!!!!!! Only the Donut Man at Grand Central Market charges more for one type of doughnut ($6.75) because they use whole seasonal fresh strawberries packed into a sugar glaze doughnut “taco shell”. When I looked at him dumbstruck and said that is expensive, he did give me a $5 discount, but at that price it still doesn’t justify at least a 130% increase compared to prices of competitors and substitutes. Flavor: ok, so it was stupid expensive, but did it knock your socks off; did flavor just punch you in the mouth? No :( the best doughnuts were the guava, banana, and maple/ caramel pecan. The filling for the banana, nutella, and strawberry was minimal 1/3 filling to 2/3 dough at least. The filling was just in a dollop in the middle basically. Texture and mouth feel: The dough left a film on the inside of our mouths from the fat they use and it has a particular greasy taste and feel that is not pleasant. My daughter loves doughnuts and if the dough tastes good she will eat the whole thing. She chose the sugar glazed with frosting and she didn’t eat the dough because she didn’t like the taste and texture, so $11 for a little frosting . I have had better doughnuts from many places for cheaper. I would not recommend this place for a casual doughnut run! It was a major disappointment because even their best tasting doughnuts were not worth the price based on flavor and texture. If they drop their prices and make their prices transparent I would be willing to give them a second try in the future.

Been here a few times now and what can i say besides it being great! The donuts not only look amazing but taste amazing too! Always fresh and pairs beautifully with their Vietnamese coffee. The coffee has 5 levels so theres a strength for everyone. I usually get level 4, their 2nd strongest. Also, i highly recommend their breakfast sandwiches since they are made to order and filling. Cant just say the food/drinks were good without stating how great the staff is. Always kind, friendly and welcoming to all that walk in. This place is definitely a must try if your in the area looking for some good coffee and food. Parking: Few spots in the lot and plenty to the side on the street Kid-friendliness: Staff here is genuinely kind and friendly. Wheelchair accessibility: ADA ramp
