Customer Reviews

It's very clean well organized. If you like or love the ham and cheese With jalape?os this is the spot to get one especially if you like seeing and tasting jalape?os in every bite you take.

The workers were very nice and respectful. The lady even gave us free donut holes. I loved how clean everything was, and they make the food fresh.

I thought this place was the best, until I found out they charge a regular customer $1 for a cup of ice when I was purchasing 2 bottles of Coke which their cooler didn?t cool

The turkey croissant sandwich... OMG, was it good! The ham and cheese croissant... AMAZING!

My favorite our their cake donuts and my son loves the glazed donuts. Always quick service with a big smile to start our day. And lots of selection to choose from.

I absolutely love this place, the pastrami sandwich was on point, I recommend this place for breakfast and lunch. If I'm in the area, I will definitely stop by again.

Love the donuts and breakfast sandwiches. Been going there going on 5yrs now. Owner is so sweet and friendly. She knows me and my daughter. She always give extra donuts holes when my daughter goes to get my buttermilk donuts and she tells her to say hi to me.

Very aggressive lady with over priced items...there was an Arizona can of tea labeled $0.99 and she charged me nearly double for it. Not to mention the milk is more expensive if its chocolate vs regular. She hated giving the price variations. I dislike the old fashioned fought it tasted sour. ???? Its always people from here culture that have this nonchalant attitude as if it doesn't matter if people shop with them and its sad to have such a mind set. Not to mention the koolaid pouches are $1.00????. Im not

I was surprised I never tried this place before since it's so close to my offoxe, but now that I have, I'll continue to come here. The donuts are made well and just perfectly sweet and crunchy, satisfies my sweet tooth. They threw in some donut holes since I bought a dozen so that really sweetens the deal, literally.

OMg, the best Donuts EVER.. Every flavor Donut actually is made different. Old fashioned buttermilk tastes like buttermilk.. the Bavarian cream are my flavorite.. crunchy on the edges.Cya im going to get some RIGHT NOW!!

The best apple fritters I have found. Sunday mornings I drive the 2 blocks to get fritters. They think it is funny I wear my pajamas and slippers to get out Sunday morning to get my fritter fix.

On three different occasions now, I have driven to Allison?s to satisfy my donut fix and, although both their website and their posted door signs state that they are OPEN, the door is locked and there is NO sign of life! VERY disappointing and frustrating!!

Great traditional donuts and nice people, was exactly what we were after.

Best customer service, the owner remembers you after just a few visits. Food is great, i always get a croissant sandwich, donut, and bobba tea. Awesome value.

Friendly and quick working staff. I come here once a week and get the same thing which is a delicious flakey breakfast croissant sandwich aka the #3. Been coming here for years and will never stop.

I just grabbed a bite from the Blueberry doughnuts and it was literally an uncooked dough! I am not sure if it's clear from the picture but I already ate the part and my stomach.. first time never again

A bit pricey and make sure to take cash because they charge extra for card. The donuts were not that good. Low quality

Bad attitude towards customers

A classic Long Beach pink box donut shop. Cozy neighborhood spot with really good ham and cheese croissants.

Super yummy! They have cronuts here ??

Good donuts and the owners are nice but they have the annoying door alarm thing that really gets on my nerves.

Excellent service, good prices and yummy donuts! The ladies gave us free donut holes :)
