Sweet Retreat Donuts
924 E Pacific Coast Hwy, Long Beach, CA
Crema's Take
“Sweet Retreat Retreat captures that rare neighborhood magic where the owners genuinely make you feel like family, serving up not just exceptional donuts but crave-worthy surprises like their crispy Cambodian dirt wings alongside thoughtfully crafted drinks that span traditional favorites to creative matcha creations. The early-morning ritual of watching donuts slide into the case and the welcoming energy of regulars lingering over coffee makes this spot feel less like a quick grab and more like the living room of Long Beach, especially if you're seeking high-quality vegan options or craving something made exactly the way you request it.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit, quick-grab spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu. Family friendly.
