Donuts & Sandwiches
2821 E 7th St, Long Beach, CA
Crema's Take
“This Long Beach institution has earned its devoted following over more than a decade by nailing the fundamentals with genuine care—their buttermilk and apple fritter donuts are standouts, and their Vietnamese and Thai coffees are velvety and generous, made with traditional techniques that keep regulars coming back for their weekly fix. Beyond the stellar pastries, the full breakfast menu and thoughtful light food options give you reason to linger, all backed by a consistently warm and helpful staff who actually remember you. It's the rare donut shop that competes on quality and pricing while making you feel like a regular from day one, which explains why people bypass closer alternatives to get here.”

We've been coming here for over 10 years. I live near other donut shops but come here because the quality is better, pricing is better, the staff is friendly and helpful and the other food on their menu is really good. I've had their tacos before and they compared to restaurant street tacos. I drive out of my way to come here.
Come here all the time throughout the week/weekend and always get the BEST service. Super nice and friendly and good food + boba/drinks. We also get a box of donuts for $5.99 with the TooGoodToGo app and they always give 12-14 donuts+ham and cheese!
Amazing donuts. The buttermilk is incredible, as well as the apple fritter (which just tastes amazing and doesn't really tastes like Apple) as well as the old fashioned. Friendly staff and also have other food options, like breakfast burritos and coffee Thai tea etc
updated: my weekly #1 donut stop, i always get a drink and apple fritter, usually the vietnamese coffee and thai or thai frappe—the drinks are velvet smooth, generously portioned, and very traditionally flavoured! they're decadently sweet but not flat-sweet, i love love love the bold-musky flavours as a sweet treat [honestly trying all their drinks one by one 😭]. it's best to come earlier for the donuts: i'm plagued by their fritter's consistently solid apple flavour and plush-doughy center—not much spice but still lovely. the yeast donuts are alright, not much to it, and the coffee-based frappes are meh in richness, but the thai frappe is a hit. lovely staff with quality sweet treats, highly recommended.
This place is one of my favorite donuts place to have a good coffee with a donut or a ham and cheese! But the breakfast burrito is great and the taste is fresh and delicious. My favorites are number 9 , 1 , 2 , 7 ! But the Vietnamese coffee is great ! Customer service 10/10 very friendly and polite ! Clean 10/10 Fresh 10/10
