“Best donuts in the South Bay!! All of the staff are wonderful! The coffee is ALWAYS HOT and FRESH! It is a great place to pick up fluffy, flavorful, and fantastic donuts! The "old fashioned" are my favorite and unlike other donut shops these OF donuts WON'T give you heartburn. If you want to be ruined forever and never be able to enjoy a donut from another shop, go to JAX donuts! I have been going there for over 25 years!“

“Its a cool little donut shop open late when i needed him to be i start work at 4 am and its on the way the owner let me pick a donut which i payed for then he picked one for me and boy what a pick and no charge on that one. Not a lot of talk just a good feeling the rest of the way to work.“

“This Donut shop is definitely by far the best in town. GREAT costumer service and very delicious food and donuts. The burritos that are served here in this Donut shop are the best burritos that I have ever tasted in all of California . The donuts and croissant’s are also very good and taste great . I definitely recommend this Donut shop to anyone who is looking for good tasty donuts , burritos and croissants. Julian and Jennifer are the owners of this Donut shop , and they are extremely nice people and they care about their costumers.“

“donuts are always Fresh n good“

“delicious 😋 clean well done“

“The owner (I think) is always there bright and early every morning, with an enthusiastic attitude, always smiling, genuinely nice and outgoing. She is eager to please & has even gone back to the kitchen and made whatever custom variety we describe to her! I'm pretty sure that's partly bc it's so early in the morning (typically at 5:30am) and the rush crowd's alarml hasn't even gone off yet so they're still asleep!!BEST DONUTS, SERVICE AND EXPERIENCE IN SO CAL IN OUR OPINION!!“

“Mochi donuts are amazing here! Fair variety, fast service, the display is high so it's easy to browse without squatting or bending over (a huge plus for me)!
Parking can be rediculous as it's mall parking, best to NOT park where Google tells you to (in front of the main entrance to PF Chang's and Lazy Dog) and go over to the side of the building by the entrance to the Mitsuwa Food Court for easiest access!
My family was so excited to try mochi donuts as they'd never had them! These did not disappoint!!!!“

“Niko’s Donuts has been a longtime favorite, and it’s incredible to see it still thriving after Niko’s tragic passing from cancer. His warmth and dedication live on in every detail—from the friendly service to the consistently great donuts. The classic glazed and old-fashioned are always spot on. It’s clear the family is honoring his legacy, and it makes supporting this place all the more meaningful.“

“If you’re looking for a great, easy classic American breakfast or a great smoothie - this is the spot. Clean and smells divine, everything is very fresh and the donuts are delicious art ? I like that the donuts are sweet and fluffy but not overwhelmingly sugary.

I got the glazed donut holes (probably the best I’ve ever had) and the fruity pebble donut and turkey egg and cheese croissant. All delicious and fresh 10/10 recommend.

Came back for coconut smoothie and tried a few other items from delivery - loving everything I got so far. Love the coconut smoothie. Still very sweet even when I ordered it less sweet so I would suggest less sweet unless you like very sugary.

Turkey egg and cheese croissant is perfect!! And very large. Next time I’ll ask to have cut in half so I can share or save for later.

The man behind the counter is super nice and was explaining to me how many places make their donuts in a cheaper / faster way and why he doesn’t. Says it is less likely to cause belly aches.

I think this place would be ideal to stop by if you were bringing a dessert to a party or house warming or school function. They taste amazing, look so aesthetic and are only 1.50 each.

Vegetarian options: It’s almost all vegetarian

Parking: Street parking is easily available but their is also parking in the back

Kid-friendliness: Kids would go nuts for this place

Wheelchair accessibility: Ground level business on the corner where there is wheelchair ramp from street to sidewalk“

“What a beautiful experience at sweet retreat! They have the best donuts both vegan and non-vegan in the whole of Long Beach“

“My wife loves this place. She's been going here since she was a child. Omg it's so expensive here, but I understand why so many people go to this place. The food and donuts are so good. I remember one guy got his leg amputated after not taking care of his diabetes and hopped all the way from the hospital on his good leg just to get a maple bar donut. SMH. Oh well. Being healthy is so overrated.“

“Mannas the Shittt No Cappers“

“MY Best friend went to get himself a turkey sandwich. And two ham sandwich for my daughter and I. He told me all 3 worker's treated him really kind especially the older guy. He said the older gentleman told him to sit down while he prepared his meal and gave him coffee. He said the staff was very kind. Their sandwiches are very good. The best we ever had. So on behalf of my Best friend and myself. Thank you.“

“I found this place back in 08 when I lived on Ocean/Cerritos, I love that they have EVERY SINGLE flavor creamer there is available! My favorite donut from here is the old fashioned, O-M-G to die for really! I love it, the crunchy little edges, and the moist (yes, I said it MOIST) inside, it's amazing really! I'm back in the neighborhood, close enough to walk again so I can't wait to visit soon,.I'm looking forward to it!“

“The pastries are very delicious. The donuts are very very good. The atmosphere is very classic and the customer service you cannot beat every time I come in they have a smile on their face and they are very attentive. Their suggestions are very good as well.

Parking: Parking is located right in front of the store quick and easy access in and out the door“

“i havent been here in awhile, and oddly enough i always come for the food… always made with love, the girls they have working there are always so lovely and sweet. just tried the pastrami sandwich on a whim today, i wasnt terribly hungry and wanted something for later. i saw the girl loading my sandwich up with everything that is good and by the time i got home the sandwich was defeated in less than five minutes. the bread was delicious and fresh, crunch and soft, and the mark of goodness was the sprinkle of salt and pepper on top. this food reminds me of the food my grandmother used to make me in the best way. 10/10 stars will be back asap!!“

“I absolutely love this place good coffee in the morning freshly made donuts every morning and the breakfast sandwiches are very good and the lady's are very friendly and helpful they do have a very good variety of every thing including water and drinks but I just got to say that the atmosphere and the people makes the place and the food by the way I love there ice-cream I go almost every day for a one scupe of strawberry ice-cream on a cone this place is a must try I really like ti's place and the people.“

“This is a mom and pop donut shop on 7th street. Stopped by a few weeks ago to grab some donuts. They tasted like any other sugary goodness that contributes to diabetes. I also got their crossiant which I was a fan of. It was reasonably priced, cheaper than my local coffee shop and bigger. I don't each donuts all the time, but I'd recommend checking them out. Prices are reasonable and staff was nice.“

“Good service n great food“

“My spouse and I come here at least once a week. We really enjoy the sandwiches and the iced coffee (strong and sweet, just how I like it). They stuff the sandwiches with lots of ingredients but will leave off any ingredient that you want and even give you pickled peppers on the side. We don't understand why anyone would even go to the Dunkin down the way when you can go to this place. The donuts are big and fresh here. They have such a variety of food and drinks (like fresh juices) that I'm amazed every time. If you think you won't find something you'll like, go in and at least see the menus on the wall.“

“Best coffee, and good prices. Love the food there.“

“Doughnuts are top notch but very pricey. $4 and up for an artisan doughnut is way too much.“

“Was looking for some fresh donuts came across Long Beach donuts best Decision I ever made. Can't go wrong they have everything you could possibly want and then some“

“This is a pretty standard donut shop, with pretty much every kind of donut you'd expect, plus a few delux varieties. The staff are quite polite. If you can get here just after opening in the wee hours of the morning, the fritters are especially fresh, but it's hard to predict exactly when they will open. If I'm on my way to work, then I need a backup plan for breakfast.“

“Yes Donuts is bar far the best doughnut shop you will ever stop in at again and again... This is no exaggeration... I don't know what makes their doughnuts, pastries, sandwiches so good but the amount of customers daily should be proof enough... The best,,, hands down.“

“Yummy doughnuts , seasonal flavors“

“Omg, I come home from working nightshift in Santa Monica. I've had some stupid expensive donuts from super fluffed up donut places.This place doesn't disappoint at all.I absolutely love the quality, taste, selections, and price. I am a huge fan of Christy's. My favorites are the raspberry jelly donuts and apple fritters.I'll be bye very soon for my weekly dose of donuts goodness.“

“Absolutely LOVED stopping here before driving back to Vegas. We ordered a variety of glazed donuts and they were all pillowy soft and melted in your mouth. I have such respect and admiration for a donut shop like this that has clearly been in an ever-changing neighborhood for years.

Thank you to all 3 ladies who helped out our small family today from Minnesota ❤️❤️“

“Wow. I had a long wait picking up someone from LAX so wanted boba. Gps led me to this nondescript place. Got the green Thai bob milk tea. Wow! Great flavor! Super subtle flower note, not so sweet, very light. Bob was warm and soft in the middle. This drink hits the boba spot and competes with the best of them in taste and in price.

Edit: Watch the ice! They give loads like 3/4 cup.“

“Been coming here for years and has been my go to for breakfast sandwiches and of course donuts. Ray and Monica always greet you with a smile and their donuts are always fresh. I know that when ever I make a stop here, I won’t be disappointed. If you’re looking for pretentious trend donuts look elsewhere. This is a local mom and pops traditional donut shop that also serves up sandwiches.“

“The drive thru is so convenient in the early mornings. Be prepared to wait in line past 7am. The basic glaze they use for everything is tinged with lemon and is scrumptious. I recommend newbies try the mini glazed. Awesome old-fashioned vibe inside with ample seating. No restroom, no radio, no TV but lots of San Pedro history.“

“Sorry picture was a dozen but kids couldn't wait! So I've been coming here since I was like 2 years old with my grandmother. Fast forward 27 years later, it is still the same owner behind the counter! The memory she has is remarkable! As there was a period of time that I didn't live in long beach and it was years before I came back here! That first time coming back, her tone was just that, like a family member who hasn't seen you in a long time! Remembered who I was, asked about my grandmother, mother and brother, and now that I have kids of my own, she has met my 2 daughters as well! It's crazy to think someone you only really know as the donut lady can see so life and growth in people! I'm sure I'm not the only child who grew up and had this experience. Donuts are A1! Love her coffee and cappuccino! My favorite is her ham and cheese crossaints! Support local business owners like her! She's one of a kind!“

“I came here a few weeks ago to get coffee and donuts before picking up someone from the airport. Wow! These donuts are soo good! Prices are really good for the quality of donut you are getting. I highly recommend all the donuts except the cream filled, save that for me ? enjoy!!“

“I came here for the first time at 3:30am after having some donut cravings. I've been eyeing this place for sometime and figured hey I'm up at an odd time and there won't be any traffic so why not give this place a shot? My other option would have been another spot that would've taken another 15 minutes or so to drive to.

At any rate, got a box of a dozen and the guy at the counter tossed in an extra one on the house. i did pay by card so maybe that was the reason (read other people receiving similar service) but i ain't gonna complain. The two i had (sprinkled, cinnamon) were very fresh and tasty. can't wait to try the others!

My only concern is mostly the oddballs you'd see hanging around PCPH (intentionally written). Luckily, there was only one other person who was friendly and helpful. Otherwise, gotta love a 24/7 donut shop!“

“I highly recommend it here. The donuts are great. They have thrifty ice cream. Their sandwiches are delicious. Speedy service even when they are booking with business. I highly recommend their juices. Carrot juice or the orange juice are my favorite fresh made.“

“I was here last week: April 18 to April 26, 2022..and I kid you not we order 1 or 2 dozen boxes of donuts at 10 times. These are the best donuts I ever ate in my life. I love the fact it is open 24 hours. We even order 1 dozen as a carry on our flight back home. We are from West Jordan, Utah. I came out here to visit my son..One of our happiest moments in our little vacay..Thank you winchells donuts..Great customer service too? we will definitely come back to visit again next year❤❤❤“

“I was a little skeptical after reading some reviews… Not to mention usually when custom donuts, cookies, etc. Look as cute as these usually they don’t taste that great however, in this situation, it was a complete opposite… I found Donut master while doing a search online and reading reviews…I Had the most amazing experience with the owner as far as communication and the work that was put into these donuts… They were so cute just the perfect touch… But the best part out of all of this is that the donuts are literally the best donuts I have ever had…cooked to perfection! I will definitely be returning time and time again and will be referring them as well.“

“Great family ran place with very kind friendly owners! Very respectful to us even though we were somewhat unwealthy they still happily to help us accomplish our requests which included helping me find a open electric outlet to plug in my cell phone and let it gain some charge.

10 stars even if it was out of 5 stars 🌟 🤩 ✨️ 💛

Definitely will go back and Definitely a place that sticks in your memory even years after my visit.“

“I don’t understand the negative reviews. I walked to this place after a hospital visit on 5/13 in the morning and it was a very pleasant experience. They have plenty of drinks and a variety of sandwiches and chips to choose from. I also had a donut and it was fresh and delicious. All of the donuts they have looked delicious but unfortunately I should only have ONE! Come by and get something to eat or a sweet treat. The server was polite and friendly. I will definitely Come back.“

“Another hidden gem in Long Beach with the softest, freshest, donuts! My daughter got a mango smoothie drink, it was huge, delicious, and perfectly creamy. Everything is affordable and they have so much to choose from! They have everything you need! My daughter said the donut holes just melted in her mouth. They are so soft, they really do. The flavor of the dough is really good too. Some places taste off or the icing is thin and bland but here, everything tastes perfect, fresh, and flavorful.“

“Very friendly staff, the lady usually working there is super nice and remembers her frequent visitors (said my name and asked how my cat was).I usually come for their croissants and horchata shake, both are delicious. I know they also sell a variety of donuts, sandwiches (breakfast and lunch kind), ice cream and teas.They open very early (around 4-5am) which is convenient for the munchies.I hope they continue to grow and flourish.“

“The best place to get your donuts. You can expect to wait a little bit in the morning during the rush but it's well worth it as an the ladies who work are absolutely nice and extremely quick. My daughter and I would go here and grab some donuts, sometimes in the afternoon just so I could make conversation with the beautiful woman who works behind the counter, I think it's time we go back. Say tomorrow 🙏

“Today was my first time here. I bought a turkey croissant AND IT WAS BIG and fire ?'m coming back. I would have given it 5 stars ? but the girl didn't explain, and the actual picture doesn't look like the sandwich... came back on 8/30/23 Jose made my sandwich perfect“

“This is a shop that has the best donuts within a ten mile radius.Try their glaze donuts, they r the bomb. Their sandwiches are great also. The service is top quality and are always courteous. Become a patron, you'll won't regret it....Shirley Coopwood“
