The Donut Place
5476 E Del Amo Blvd, Long Beach, CA
Crema's Take
“This beloved Long Beach institution has mastered the art of the fresh donut, baking their pastries to order so every bite stays crispy and never soggy—a detail that keeps regulars coming back for birthdays and daily coffee runs alike. The whole family behind the counter moves with practiced warmth, keeping lines flowing while genuinely greeting customers by name, creating that rare coffee shop feeling where you're not just grabbing a pastry but reconnecting with friends who happen to work there. Whether you're ducking in before work or settling in for a meeting, you'll find yourself loyal to their traditional drinks, excellent croissants, and the kind of consistent quality and kindness that turns a donut shop into a neighborhood gathering spot.”

Very good donuts and croissants. Quick and very friendly service! A free donut every time. New favorite donut shop! Thank you ❤️
Got a chocolate bar with custard. Best is that they dont fit it until you order it and it was so good and not soggy like most! Definitely coming back
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Such a great experience this morning! Even though it was raining and I was in a bit of a rush, the whole family working there was incredibly kind and helpful. Everyone jumped in to help, answered questions patiently, and made the process smooth. They even helped with change for a large bill and offered alternative payment options, which I really appreciated. The donuts are delicious, and they warmed up the croissant without me even asking — a nice touch. Everything tasted fresh and comforting, exactly what I needed before a busy workday. You can really feel the care they put into their service. I’ll definitely be back and highly recommend this spot!
Owners wife is always very professional and up beat in the morning when I've gone on. She keeps the line moving so if there is a wait, you won't be in there for long. I know they have been in business a long time and have very loyal customers.
(12/16/20) Can't have my wife's Birthday without these donuts! Always good to comeback to a friendly place, with a friendly face ;) It's been too long, but the quality and freshness haven't changed! Oh my, the butterfly is SO FLAKY and soft inside! You owe yourself to try one (chocolate chip glazed scone too), but only after I've gotten mine :oO (A year ago) Service with a smile AND quality fresh donuts! Thank you Silvia for your kindness today and generosity... I look forward to coming back soon... BTW, good memory recognizing Logan has been here before ;) The 2nd picture of the French something was so fresh, flaky, light and delicious!
