Customer Reviews

Knead donuts are freshly made everyday, and they have a large variety of unique donuts. (They will close early if they sale out) There donuts are delicious from the classic s?more to the croissant guava. They have a donut for every persons taste buds. The boba is okay nothing special. The customer service is amazing, I?ve never had a bad experience with Knead donuts.

The presentation and the way that the donuts are decorated absolutely beautiful, but I can?t say that the taste match the look if that makes sense now they?re not bad. It?s not the worst donut I?ve ever had, but it?s not close to the best either but they are absolutely beautiful and fun.

I ordered via Doordash to spoil my coworkers for Valentine's day and the donuts exceeded my expectations. It was a rare occasion where them appeared better than the photo description. They even added two roses on the top for the holiday. Would definitely reccommend!

I love this place. They have delicious and fresh donuts. I usually get the cinnamon twist but today I got the Dubai donut and it was yummy. If they don't have what you want in the display they will always try to make it for you. The workers there are always such a pleasure to interact with. See you soon.

I don?t eat donuts?except if they?re from Knead Donuts. Not only is the hot glazed donut the best donut I?ve ever had, the Vietnamese coffee is amazing. (Secret menu item: The Beast Vietnamese Coffee, it?s the strongest coffee I?ve ever had).

Dear Knead Donuts, great job on having IKA as part of your team!!! She provided us with some good recommendations on the donuts (Dubai Cronut and Strawberry Shortcake Donut, plus some Vietnamese coffee) as it was our first time here and provided excellent service. Plus we saw how well she takes care of customers that can came while we were there.

We came to this place for the first time. The owner/workers were very nice and friendly, gave us a tiny bit of sample to try. The donuts & cronuts are SO good!!!! Highly recommend!!!

It's probably best you go here at a time when it's busier. The donuts looked good but were stale. It has been sitting out. I don't like that there's no enclosure over the donuts so bugs can't land on them but tried them anyway, they looked so good! And yep, stale. But A for presentation and effort. Will update if I get a fresh one another time.

I am beyond happy that they opened up a location in Cerritos! They have the best, most freshest croissants. Their breakfast sandwiches are made fresh to order and the eggs aren't microwaved. They make them properly. The staff is always so friendly and the variety of gourmet donuts that they offer is great and always adding new ones depending on the season and holiday.

First time trying this donut shop and was very impressed. This is definitely not your average donut, I was pleasantly surprised by the quality and sophistication behind each item they serve. I would consider this a top of the line dessert place for even the most sophisticated donut connoisseurs. You really can't go wrong with anything you choose and if you're like me you'll get a box of everything. I personally enjoyed the creme brulee and fancy donut with cream and strawberries. The price was a little high

I arrived a little late they were out of plain glazed donuts. I was offered the glazed croissant instead and unfortunately they melted way to fast in my mouth. Favorable and not sugary like K. K.

What an awesome little donut shop. The inside was nice and clean. All the donuts were absolutely drool worthy. Best of all the staff was inviting and personable. We had a little treat while we were there and grabbed a tiger tail and maple bacon donut to go. We will definitely be back for more.

Great donuts with tasty flavors and creative designs. Some donuts are definitely worth the money and some are overpriced. I'll keep coming back though.

Donuts tasted weird. Presentation wise, they?ve done a good job, but taste wise they need to work on it. They?re not the best for what it?s worth. Save your money and go to your local donut shop.

There staff is on point with there service and there food products that being said there prices are a little bit on the high side but the quality of the treats are great. Kudos to Ika who gave great recommendations and such great service as well.

Donuts are delicious & Workers are so sweet. Today while getting donuts for the fire station the lady (I think owner?) noticed I had my hands full with all of my kids and helped me to my car. Very thoughtful and will definitely return! Good customer service is hard to come by these days :)

Holy smokes! I was just in there and haven?t made it home yet. Had the most amazing glazed croissant in the car. Can?t wait to try the donuts, except I?m scared about what it?s going to do to my waistline.

5+ stars. Terrific service and great atmosphere. Beautiful donuts. Perfect stop on way home to Temecula.

Best donut around here. The price range is $4 ~ $6 per donut, but it's worth the price. The super friendly owner will heartily welcome you.

Delicious donuts and amazing customer service. Donuts are between 4$ and 6$

1. What kind of donut shop doesn?t have an enclosure for the donuts??? Plz invest some money to have the donuts inside an enclosure so bugs/dust/spit doesn?t land on them. That?s incredibly unhygienic :( 2. But? very cute and creative donuts! They have many flavors that other donut shops don?t usually sell, and the presentation is beautiful :)

Service was outstanding, the young lady in the front really knows how to up sale. Donuts were not the best lacks taste, super sugary and stale. Your better off going to your local neighborhood donut shop promise you that better Quality and much cheaper $25 for 4 donuts. The hype is not it.

Donuts taste amazing and there?s a variety to choose from. Very clean establishment and the customer service is excellent. Felt very welcoming

If you?re watching your weight skip this place . Everything is fresh and delicious. And the location in Cerritos is amazing. Location is clean and the staff are very welcoming. The sit-ups are going to be brutal but worth it ??.Thank you KNEAD

Great selection! Great taste! Fun Donuts! Will be back again. Friendly staff.

First time being here, I was already given fresh Samples of their freshly baked croissant and lightly gazed, which tasted so delicious!! ?? I recommend anyone who love donuts and croissant

Fantastic service, and the most amazing donuts I?ve had in a very long time! I love that it?s a family owned business as well. You?ll come in, and you won?t be able to decide which ones to get, so just get them all! Delicious!

Super nice and friendly, very tasty Their knead it all day coffee is definitely strong and delicious

Delicous Gourmet donuts. I want to come back and try more. I Knead more donuts!

Deliciousness ?? a must try if you're in the area.. or even if not !!

I'm happy to see this place is finally open for business. I stopped in this morning. They have a great selection of craft donuts, sandwiches, and drinks. The staff was also very friendly and welcoming. I'll be coming by again for sure.

Worth every penny! I love getting a full box of my favorites and the mini croissants are big with my family. I love!!

Was visiting from Arizona and had to try out some donuts. I had the tiger tail and crassiont and they were so good! If I?m back in town definitely will stop by.

The donuts are too much sugar and frosting I like regular donuts not fruit on top with whipped cream and bananas and strawberries not tasty at all

AMAZING customer service as soon as u walk in !! the croissants were very tasty just made to perfection !! Definitely recommend stopping by !! ??

Love this place First time at this location and it's just as good as the original

Great service and amazing coffee

These donuts are too expensive. At this price, I would expect them to be freshly made, not sitting on a shelf.

There Donuts are so pretty, decorated, DELICIOUSNESS overall. Great Customer Service

Definitely a new twist to something old fashion, super excited

If you are a coffee lover I recommend the coffee they have here it was super good and super strong it had me all jittery. Owners are also super friendly. ??

The owners are super friendly. The pastries are delicious. And obviously go there for the Vietnamese coffee!!!

Consider myself a donut connoisseur. My fave donut spot in Orange County !!

Very overpriced donut $6.00 for 1 German chocolate donut !

They could be more stale.. we couldn't eat them . Disgusted ??

Excellent found what a kronut is and I love it , boozy was the best too

Too sweet taste like Winchels Coffee is way to sweet I?m sticking with Donutman

Great breakfast sandwich, donut, coffee and friendly service.

Nasty donuts it is not worth $5.00

I am satisfied with the service and food definitely would recommend

First Time tried and loved it

Best cronut in my lifetime.
