Customer Reviews

Broadway Donuts is an amazing local shop with great service! It is cash only, and I didn?t realize it until after I had placed a large order. The owners were so understanding and generous, and took care of me, couldn?t speak high enough about this place! Will return when I?m in town! Donuts and croissant were amazing, and the coffee was delicious!

I tried some sugar donuts from Broadway Donuts, and they were really good! They were soft and fluffy inside, with a crispy outside. The sugar coating was perfect. They weren't too sweet, so I could taste the dough. If you like donuts, you should try Broadway Donuts. *****CASH ONLY

I stopped by this Donut shop this past Saturday. Ibeen here a few times. As usual, the staff were kind and friendly. Unfortunately, I had to address something minor. The staff showed no signs of rudeness or defensiveness. They kindly solved the minor issue and went above and beyond. These people are genuinely kindhearted! They're donuts are delicious! They have so many creamer flavors you can choose from, for your coffee, as well as other pastries. Please support this business! They deserve it. Don't forge

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!

10/04/2021 I was looking at several places to go to for coffee in the area and I am so glad I picked this place! There are many flavor options of coffee and a huge selection of creamers. They do have pastries and breakfast sandwiches. My small hot coffee was only $2. I purchased and old fashioned donut for $1.25 and it tasted so fresh! The staff were pleasant and FAST! Cash only. No dine in area or outdoors seating. No restroom.

CASH ONLY!! we were so happy this location was open and available 24 hours because we stopped by before going to LAX at around 3am the jalapeno turkey sandwich was a surprise and a highlight of the visit. the classic glazed donut tasted as though they just made them. the quality is great and fresh tasting. i hope to return and try some more flavors of their donuts.

Fresh, soft, delicious donuts served up by friendly owners!

I used to live in the neighborhood and stopped in here 2-3 times per week for croissants. I was in town this week and had a ham and jalape?o for the first time in 3-4 years. Mind blown. Still so, so, so good, and somehow the memory I had (which was very good) didn't do it justice. Highly recommend

Literally **THE** BEST Donuts in the WORLD!!! Back in SoCal for 1st time in 5 years, HAD to stop here! The coffee is pretty good too. AND the owners are the nicest.

First time visiting this place and I have to say. This is my new favorite morning coffee spot. I get why so many people go there. I walk in and theres 30+ different types of coffees to choose from along with a large selection of creamers( both dairy based and plant based). You fill your selection and then pay up front. The woman at the register was very nice and just a great little spot in general. Donuts were decent and they had these huge croissants that i definitely want to try next time I go. *It is a s

Cash only. Friendly quiet and clean, slow paced and mellow vibe. Would be a relaxing place to go regularly for coffee if you?re not particularly in a rush. They definitely take their time and make things with care :) Bagel is quite decent esp for $3, closer to an east coast bagel in cheweyness

High quality donuts and coffee . Nice people and welcoming !

Wow! Great coffee & fun selection of creamers! Get an egg & cheese sandwich on croissant. Open early early :) also cash only & please tip (folks will remember if you do!)

Nothing better then waking up early and being greeted by a friendly face offering delicious donuts and coffee. Start the day off right by going to broadway donuts and enjoying a coffee from their crazy collection of flavors and creamers.

It's a really good place for breakfast or coffee stop the only bad thing about it I'd that is cash only

Went there this morning and they had no variety or ham and cheese croissant, so I got a bokple of donuts and they tasted old, I will not be back, sunrise donuts on 7th St is ?? bc it's fresh and better service

My wife and I vacation to Longbeach from the UK every year and the Broadway Donut shop is our breakfast go to every morning, the huge range of coffee, donuts and bagels and especially the apple fritters are amazing and the staff are very friendly and remember us which is a nice personal touch, we 100% recommend. Thanks guys ????

Friendly staff, affordable prices, delicious food! My go-to quick breakfast place!

The most amazing spot with the most delicious donuts run by the nicest people ?? My first time, I didn?t realize it was cash only until I?d already ordered and the total was around $15. I went out to get cash from the 7/11 across the street but the owner stopped me and told me to just bring the money next time. She was so so sweet and completely turned around my day. This is exactly my favorite kind of business and will be returning many more times.

I go there for the 2.50 coffee. Always fresh. Kim and Seng are friendly and always quick. Don't really do donuts but the decaf or organic dark roast are my favorites. Clean spot and they have sandwiches and tea too.

Amazing donuts. I wish I could give it more stars. I have been searching for an unpretentious donut shop that sells good donuts for a normal price and I finally found it. We also tried the croissants and coffee and both were great. Highly highly recommend this place. So good!

They are amazing and adorable very welcoming ??

Freshly made doughnuts! Was pleasantly surprised to find that they had made their own croissants and stuffed it with meats and cheese. I had ordered the croissant with the ham cheese and jalapenos. It was delicious. As for the donuts they had a nice selection of variety. Most other donut shops around in the area only make one type of donut and their toppings just change with frosting and other add-ins but this place has a nice variety of different donut doughs. Owners are super nice and friendly.

Great selection of coffees, donuts are average but very funny hours , great customers service.....

Whenever I go to the donut shop in the morunning by welcome you in there is a different varieties of coffee creamers fresh donuts good customer service. There's even times where I go and I get a free. Donut for my baby's love love coming here. They're super patient with you

The donuts looked fantastic. I can't give five stars because they only take cash and I didn't have any. I'm sure that makes taxes easier, but it didn't help me get a donut. I could use the steps so it wasn't a complete loss.

Cute little neighborhood donut shop that also sells some market items. They carry a good variety of some hard to find creamers of all kind (almond, oat, reg, etc.). They carry a small amount of vegan donuts that are delicious!!! The croissant sandwiches are down right dangerous they are so good! The service is quick and friendly. Keep in mind they are cash only though. Love it here so its become a staple during the week. Def recommend

This place is a gem! The couple who owns it are super friendly and I always feel welcome here. They are above and beyond conscience about their patrons safety and it is always clean. Their selection of creamers and coffees is EXTENSIVE. If you?re ever in the neighborhood around 4am, the sweet smell of freshly cooked donuts wafting through the air is mouthwatering.

Delectable donuts, delicious variety of coffee, filling breakfast sandwiches and wonderful customer service! I was treated so kindly. The staff/owners are very professional and kind. Happy to see they are able to operate safely during this pandemic, too!

Good selection of your basic donuts. HUGE delicious croissants and croissant sandwiches. Love their cheese and raspberry filled danishes. The owners are simply the kindest and friendliest people around.

I have been to the fanciest shmanciest hipsteriest donut places and never have I had a glazed donut as good as this little hole in the wall. It's super light, fluffy, and melts in your mouth. Also it's really affordable. Cash only if you don't have cash the 7/11 across the street has an ATM. The owners are great!

Amazing! I visited Broadway Donuts early in the morning around 4:20 am not knowing what to expect. The donuts and croissants were fresh and you could smell the shop from down the street. Best traditional cake donuts I've had in Los Angeles county, hands down. I tried the orange glaze, which I've never seen anywhere else, and it was delicious. The candy orange flavor similar to marmalade was refreshing and the donut had a nice crispy outer layer. The croissants were awesome and I'm sure that my next visit wi

Husband would frequent Broadway Donuts when he was working in DT Long Beach for years. But since his office move in 2019, he finally made it back today with me! Yay. He always raved about the coffee. And he was right! Today I had the Hawaiian Hazelnut, and he had the Cinnamon Hazelnut. wow, it IS good! we both had it with half and half. Just the right amount and this paired well with the Turkey cheese croissant and donut. Blueberry donut. sweet. and perfect with my coffee. The plain donut, husba

Good place for a classic cheap donut. They have vegan options as well. Way too many coffee selections, the coffee I got seemed like a second brew; tasted really watered down. All in all I will still keep supporting this place. They try to have a lot of options for customers such as oatmilk, vegan, and raw sugar. Love their ham and cheese as well.

My morning routine! Such good donuts and pastries, awesome coffee selection. The owners are always willing to make you something fresh and are just delightful. They make some of the best cake donuts ever and I indulge in them often. Cash only so come prepared.

This is my absolute favorite donut shop in Long Beach! Everything is fresh and the donuts don't have that greasy taste or look like a lot of other places around town. Also, if you are a big coffee drinker and like choices or just like to switch it up, they have the biggest coffee and creamer selection you will ever see!

Family owned business that produces the best donuts I've ever eaten! I love being there when they open. I always get warm donuts and cold milk. Very large variety of fresh coffee too.

We love your coffee assortment and donuts. We are happy we went to long Beach for our vacation and you were within walking distance

I love this place. They are so sweet and friendly. Truely service with a smile. The donut were the best I have ever had. The softest fluffiest not overly sweet donuts. I also tried a croissant sandwich and was so happy for it. I am not local but plan to go again next time I am in town.

Broadway Donuts is Our Community. I start my first round of coffee there everyday. The owners are hard working people and the salt of the earth. Love my Breakfast Blend. My day isn't the same without it. Love you Kim & Seng. Sorry, Starbucks. This shop has soul.

No nonsense great donuts! Coffee... there's a selection... of coffee. Very good glazed donut. If you like alkali cocoa like Abuelita or Yoohoo or German chocolate cake- get the chocolate cake donut. That's the hidden gem!

Absolutely love coming to this mom and pop donut shop for the Guatemalan fresh coffee. The store clerks are the best they take cash only and I was short .50 cents today and decided to settle for a croissant instead of the ham and cheese with jalapenos. He said no, let me get you what you want I want to see you happy lol they are the best made my morning :)

This spot is amazing, they have a large selection of coffee and I strongly recommend the blueberry. The turkey and jalape?o croissant was definitely one of the best croissants I?ve ever had. Definitely heading back soon.

I didn't know it was a cash-only shop, so I came in with only my card. The cashier give me the donut for free and said to bring cash next time. I appreciated this gesture so much I walked to the 7-Eleven to withdraw some cash, paid for the donut and bought a coffee.

After moving here, I tried every donut place in a 5 mile radius. Luckily, the best one is also the closest to me! The donuts here are so fresh, the coffee is good, it's cheap, and the owners are nice.

The donuts are so good. The owners are always the ones helping you they care about their customers. They offer about 20 or 30 Creamers and prices are very Good

Swindlers work here. "Your total is $4.25" -- I proceed to pay with a $5 bill, and receive .50? in return with the lady saying, "Is that ok?" Really??? No one likes feeling being taken advantage of or disingenuously swindled. I won't be returning here.

GREAT DONUTS!!! Amazing donuts and coffee!! literally just visited here and they were great!! visiting from Canada and this lil gem is a few minute walk from our place so we thought we'd check it out!! donuts are $1 each and coffee was 2.50?m i think? ive tried tons of donuts but nothing will compare!! so yummy- tims better watch out :) plus im not a coffee drinker either but decided to try the gutamalen coffee and wow!! so smooth! great place:) must try!

The best donut i ever had !!! I flew all the way from south Florida for another taste of these donuts. Eggs sandwiches were also delicious. Loved their giant coffee and creamer selection !

I have always thought that "coffee is coffee!" Right? Sure, there's a slight difference from one brand to another along with the various "coffee beans" and creamers but basically, it's still...coffee! If you tend to agree with me, then I suggest you try, "Broadway Donuts" in Long Beach. "Why...???" Simple, they have at least...30 different coffee's and about as many Creamers...!!! I tried the "Old Havana Espresso" (or was it "Cappucino"???) with something like French Vanilla cream. "O M G ! ! !" It was

My new source for apple friters. Their whole donut selection really brings flavor back to what has become stale, bland, and generic at most other donut shops. The old fashioned donuts have a light lemon flavor that complements the donut as a whole. If you like "old fashioned" coffee (ie drip) then these guys have a selection for you as well. A whole wall devoted to the worship of the coffee bean will keep you busy trying new options for the near future. Definately going to be here every weekend, and maybe

If you love coffee and often find yourself wanting to try a different Coffee Mate or International Delights creamer, come here. They put out every. flavor. ??????And the donut holes were amazing too!

We were on vacation and still trying to adjust to the time zone. I found this place on google maps so the kids, wife and I walked just over a mile to try it out. These donuts were the "pot-o-gold" at the end of the rainbow. These were by far the BEST donuts I have ever had. They were flavorful, not toooo soft, not toooo chewy...but juuust right. They also had a great selection of coffee but we didn't get any. The next time I'm in the LA area, I will be stopping back for another donut...or a dozen.

Omg one of the best places in Long Beach to get donuts! If you ask any old timer in Long Beach and I don't mean old person, but any by this been in Long Beach for more than 2 years and they know about this place! The donuts are always fresh which is the big draw. The drawback? They usually are out of donuts by 10-11 o'clock and they close at 1:00 p.m. Not their fault they're just that good! So Donuts always go fast due to the high demand for them

As much as I?d want to support a small business, I won?t be coming back here. On multiple occasions the cashiers have flat out been rude for no reason. Basic customer service is not that difficult. The donuts are definitely overpriced compared to any other corner donut shop you?ll find in Long Beach.

Best Boston Cream donut I?ve ever eaten. Donut is the perfect (almost savory) flavor, well balanced with the chocolate icing, and the custard is more dense than at a chain. Almost as if filled with cr?me br?l?e.

This place brings me so many great memories ?? they?re the sweetest people they always remember everyone coming in. I loved the schedule, nothing beats the endless options of creamers and doughnuts! This is what I look fwd to when I visit CA ??

This place is amazing! they have probably 15 creamers at least 10 different types of coffee some of them organic. They have donuts and a large refrigerated section. The service was good too.

great selection of coffee and cream flavors! Blueberry coffee? sure why not! not a place to lounge for hours tho. more of an in and out coffee shop. seating extremely limited. keep in mind they close early (1 pm or sth like that)

Great little mom and pop donut shop with a wide variety of coffee, tea, and dozens of different creamers. You can also buy bottled soda, water, juice, etc. CASH ONLY, so be prepared. There is a Chase ATM at the 7/11 across the street. Check hours because they're open early and close early.

i lived down the street on from 2009 to 2011 and this was the best donut shop in town. between the incredible donuts and the incredible coffee & coffee creamer selection, my mornings were always great.

I have been coming here for 15 years because of the freshest coffee and donuts. The owners are part of the community and I tell my friends and colleagues about this great place. Friendly, fast and efficient service.

Amazing croissants, fresh donuts, wide variety of coffee and creamer flavors and amazing people! Best donuts in Long Beach!

nothing beats their glazed donuts' texture and taste! love their chocolate croissant as well

My husband and I love this place. The owners are so amazing, not to mention the great variety of coffee and everything from their doughnuts to all their baked goods are over the top delicious. FIRST CLASS

If you are looking for coffee you will find your flavoured coffee here. Donuts are good, but not the customer service. Theu are nice to the regulars not so much to the new ones who have questions.

on my visit to california i went there a couple of times. good coffee, good food and super friendly owners. greetings (the austrian)

Easily one of the best regular glazed in LB.. not a huge selection but than again I always come late. The coffee bar with the seemingly endless options is fun and different and worth it.

Wonderfull little place with quite a surprising amount of coffee roasts and an enormous amount of creamers to choose from nice selection of donuts which I might add were apparently awarded best in by acreddited longbeach review they even have a choice of vegan doughnuts the staff is always cheery and much more awake than I no matter the time speaking of they open quite early around 4 am if I remember correctly set in a decent side of long beach nestled on a corner seems to have a quite abundant of regula

Fresh hot coffee, so many choices! And all sorts of baked goods. Prices reasonable. Owners friendly. Cash only though.

family owned and spectacular quality, amongst the best I have ever had and I'm old! lol Some fool complained about the parking. Park on the street and walk a little, work off the 6 donuts you are going to want to eat!

I started coming here a few months back when I moved to the area. Took them a while to warm up to me but they are the friendliest people, the best coffee selection (20+ coffees) and the BEST DONUTS in the area.

This place has the best ham and cheese croissants. The coffee is strong and they have all the coffee fix em ups you'll ever need.

On the morning of Dec 7th, Sunday I went to buy a dozen doughnuts & some Arizona Teas for my friends & I who was participating in the Wilmington Xmas parade.. As I stood in line, ready to pay, I over heard, they only take "CASH" I froze bc I didnt have cash!!! I only had "card" I apologized to the lady that had my order boxed up.. The lady told me "YOU TAKE, COME BACK TOMORROW & PAY" I was like.... really?? It was $14.75 but I felt kinda weird walking out with out paying. Again she said "COME BACK TOMOR

Good place to go for a coffee!! They have many many different flavors I really liked it and defenetly recommend this place Not a big variety of douts but many flavors of coffee Good spot

The donuts are fresh and the owners very friendly... it's one of my favorite places to go for a treat and good conversation!??????????

They have a huge selection of donuts so many flavors hard to choose and about 2 dozen different kinds of coffee a must go if you love a variety of flavors come here great prices nice staff

Love this place! I had the vegan donuts. They have many kinds of coffee and creamers. Skip Starbucks and come here!

Small but powerful donut shop. Excellent selection, great coffee and friendly service. Who could ask for anything more?!

It?s one of those places you hope will be around forever. The heavy hitters on the menu are the croissants, the classic glazed, buttermilk, and blueberry donuts.

I love this donut shop. The food is fresh, their friendly and reasonably priced. Signed your favor neighbor!

Love this place. Great donuts and pastries. The coffee and creamer selection is awesome! The staff is friendly.

Very friendly staff, huge selection of coffee, and every type of creamer you could imagine. They ran out of hawaiin hazlenut and immediately noticed that it was empty and refilled it. Image not related.

Cash only. Really good glazed donut. Small selection (but all the essentials are there). No seating. 5/5 will go again.

Best cake donut I've ever had! Vanilla sprinkle was pretty fantastic as well. Heads up though, they only take cash

Great customer service, convenient location and my daughter loves their donuts.

This place is great! A wall of flavored coffee and creamers greet you every morning with excellent pastries and donuts.

Excellent coffee. Got to try their red eye on the house. Am I'm hooked. One of Long Beach's gem's. A must try. ????
