Knead Donuts & Tea

OMG-good donuts! This is why I gave up sugar, for cheat-meals like Knead!

Update 1/24/24 Came back to this place to try it again and it's still just as good. Great service, great coffee and donuts. Really hoping to see this shop to expand to other states. Definitely need something like it on the east coast!!! Old review. Finally, some good freaking donuts! Been traveling around Cali and missing my donut spot back at home. So I dragged my parents in, who are very hesitant about trying anything new. (Dunkin fans amirite?!) We all ordered croissant sandwiches. I got the turkey one, Mom got 'the works' , Dad got egg, cheese, and onions. All were very delicious!! Good quality meats and very fresh eggs. The sandwiches are made to order and the eggs are over easy. The croissant are soft and flakey but with that nice crunch to bite into. Next are the donuts. Parents got Tiger Tails and I ordered the Guava Cream Cronut. The Tiger Tails were are nice and soft, probably the closest to a basic donut anyone would be used to but Kneads twist is still above a normal glaze twist. The Guava Cream Cronut has the cream layered ontop of the cronut but plenty of the cream you can lick off to go with each bite. Very tasty. We also got a strawberry cheesecake one. Which is almost too pretty to eat. Fresh berries on top with a cube of strawberry cheesecake. Soft, sweet and very delicious. Would definitely eat it again. Lasty, I did try the Vietnamese coffee. I got the regular since it was my first time here. Not too sweet but a nice strength. A bit too much ice for me but still overall a nice cup. The presentation is top notch. You can tell the people or family who work here care about what they are serving to their customers. Even the branding on their boxes is very professional. The storefront was clean. There was plenty of parking outside. Staff are very friendly and greets everyone who comes in. Happy I came across this place. I'm not in Long Beach often but it was a nice morning treat and best of all I got to break my parents out of their comfort zone. Mom and dad are definitely going back!!

NOW —that’s a real Donut ABSOLUTELY WITHOUT A DOUBT DELICIOUS THOUGHTFULLY-DESIGNED CREATED TASTIEST DONUTS IVE EVER HAD. People are great super nice love it to pieces

Specialty donuts that ruin every other donut joint. Once you go Knead you just can't go back to ordinary donuts. One of the best Vietnamese coffees I've ever tried...damn you knead for making me love you...I cant quit you! Vegetarian options: Many Parking: Many spots right in front

They were very kind and helpful. Great Vietnamese coffee and donuts. The croissants are good and the jalapeño dog too.

We ended throwing away the $4 donut. It was not fresh, more like just a bite of stiff oil bite. Coffee was OK. But not 8$ worth. I did not like the fact that I asked for one donut, and the man kept saying make it two. Let's make it three. I told him only one the first time.
