Wow! This place is amazing! Donuts are creative, tasty, & there is a lot of variety. Individually or buying a couple, it is cheap. But a dozen would be around $55 so can get pricy quick. Great coffee

Donuts are king here! They also have a great choice of coffees and teas. Vietnamese coffee is the bomb!

Just came in and had a mind blowing experience with Hughie! He was extremely friendly in the best way, very knowledgeable and proud of what they do here. These donuts are so much more than your neighborhood shop. My wife and I walked in wanting a donut apiece and left with 3 each and a drink because we just couldn't walk away without them. Don't sleep on Knead Donuts! We will be back

Worst donut shop ever! When a donut shop doesn't know what a maple bar is than its not a donut shop at all. Unless you like bougie wads of dough with a bunch of cereal on top don't waste your time or money.And the owner is a total a#*hole..thanks for ruining what was once a real donut shop.

The donuts are pretty delicious and the coffee packs a pleasant caffeinated punch, but the service has been really hit or miss. The couple times I've gone in have mostly been pleasant but the dude literally folded my tiger tails in half to get them to fit in a small box which I thought was kind of bizarre, like why would you destroy someone's food to fit it in a small container without telling them (or giving options first if an appropriate sized container wasn't available)? Wouldn't be a huge deal but I was taking donuts to someone else. He offered to replace them when I told him I wish he hadn't mutilated the donuts, but I didn't want to be wasteful....it was a super awkward, makes-me-regret-my-$15-spent interaction.

Serving Long Beach since 2017, the former owners of Siem Reap Restaurant taking over a previous shop at the corner of 7th Street and Redondo Avenue, Knead Donuts & Tea is said to make some of the best fried Dough south of Los Angeles despite its unremarkable exterior. Owned by the father-daughter team of Huey and Amy Behuynh, the elder on-site greeting guests Saturday morning, guests can expect a warm welcome from masked staff who are happy to explain a diverse selection of choices ranging from simple Yeast rings to Croissant Donuts tallying more than $5. Selling six for $26 while Huey happily suggests a dozen to get one free, prices not dissimilar from Sidecar or Blue Star, first bites of Knead’s Fritter suggest serious issues as each bite seeped with oil, the Cruller sliced around Whip expectedly a lot lighter though in terms of flavor losing any sense of egginess to the Cream. Hoping for better from “Kronuts,” the lamination on point but raw Granny Smith’s and near-liquid Caramel creating a sloppy bite as Apples ejected on all sides, Guava-Cheese thankfully fared better though the $5 cost for something no better than Randy’s or Spudnuts should be noted. Better to be simple, a $5 Old Fashioned with Caramel and Sea Salt exactly as one would hope, Knead’s Blueberry Donut is admittedly a work of art thanks to lots of Fruit and unexpected lightness in the crumb plus natural tasting Glaze on top.

Extremely clean organized business. They have variety of Donuts and drink options. Very helpful and friendly customer service. They offer a few alternative options for milk drinks if you're lactose intolerant. I give it 11 out of 10!!

Did not have a good experience here today and won’t be back. Owner is like a car salesman, trying to upsell you on everything from more toppings for your sandwich to more donuts to their iced coffee. The food is decent, but expensive compared to other local donut shops and not worth the extra cost. I was also annoyed that I asked for a regular size coffee, but was given and charged for a large one. Almost $23 for a croissant, donut and coffee, and then was expected to tip on top of that.

I’m so glad these guys are in Long Beach. Great quality donuts and coffee. We usually go to donuttery in Huntington Beach. Only please consider making gluten free donuts! My wife has celiacs disease and can’t have regular donuts.

ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS! STAFF SUPER NICE, COFFEE DELICIOUS! Went in and was super surprised about how it wasn’t busy seen how incredible and tasty their food is, especially their breakfast sandwiches! Must try spot in park estates.
