Circle Donuts

They no longer charge a credit card fee… BUT they try to impose a minimum charge to use the card, which is a violation of the credit card agreement.
BUT the donuts are some of the best darn I have ever had, and I’m kind of a professional doughnut eater…

I’ll give it a 4-​star review. This place was just ok. It would have been nice if they had more places to sit down and eat. It’s a great place to go if you like to eat donuts and smoke cigarettes too! They have a huge selection of cigarettes at very good prices.

I’ve been here several times based on reviews and I’ve never been disappointed. The folks behind the counter are extremely nice and helpful. The donuts are fresh and flavorful and the selection is great. You can get all the usual donuts, plus they have fancier ones like cronuts. I have to admit, I can’t get out of this place without having a cronut, they hit the sweet spot that sent me here in the first place!

Just stopped in here this morning for the first time ever to pick up 2 dozen of mixed donuts. I’ll be coming back here. I just ate a blueberry donut and it was the best thing EVER.
The ladies who helped me this morning were very sweet. The price is right, and the donuts are super tasty.

My kids told me about this spot. It doesn’t look like much but it packs a punch. First there are really good donuts but also has other awesome pastries. Also best smoothies and breakfast sandwiches. You can’t go wrong.

The donuts here are always fresh. They make yummy sandwiches any way you want it. The owner is such a nice lady.

You can get donuts anywhere, but the it’s the friendly customer service that puts this place over the top. I’ve only been here once before, but the owner remembered me and she even apologized (last time, her infant daughter had been crying)! Great, fresh food. Family owned. Warm smiles. Definitely coming back.

I haven’t stopped by this part of the LB in awhile but on a Sunday morning we were in for some breakfast to be made quick!
So we found what suited our crave as we half circled around here at Circle Donuts.
What was ordered was a Sausage, Ham and Cheese Croissant. The portion was big enough for my wife and I to share.
After taking bites and bites of this Croissant we were satisfied how it tastes.
The meats inside were tender but most importantly it was made fresh and enjoyable to eat without a mess. I can’t forget the mayo inside it, was an icing on the cake.
When inside they have pictures on the wall on what they offer on their menu like, croissants, sandwiches and iced blended drinks.
The staff that helped us out were very friendly. Also, if your looking for smokes they sell cigarettes. I would definitely comeback to try out their coffee and donuts, when Im in this part of the hood.

Ive been here a few time. They have good quality donuts. When you have donuts holes, you can notice a good shop or not. Thats what i believe in. Lol. Their donuts are good, but also their services are good too. It may be i was lucky. I got extra donuts holes. Even though the donut isnt expensive unlike DD or KK, they still have been doing better business here. I also noticed that many ppl order sandwiches instead of donuts when i went there during lunch time. I need to try it someday.

Sometimes, the donut cravings get so real that I’d go out of my way just to find a really good donut shop (big bonus if they had blueberry or other unique flavors). Circle Donuts did not disappoint!
Located in a small plaza down Lakewood Blvd, Circle Donuts is a straight shot down from my gym (haha) and just past Long Beach airport. Parking lot is a little cramped and hectic, but no major problem.
I picked and chose my way around the donuts and got three donuts for myself (blueberry cake, red velvet and plain glazed cronut) and then a dozen to bring to work. The woman that helped me was so upbeat and friendly, and she even threw in an extra maple donut!
Now for some actual donut reviews:
Blueberry Cake Donut: YUMMY and my favorite so far! It taste just as good, if not BETTER than M&M’s blueberry donuts (yes, I just went there). I ate this one day later and it wasn’t stale!
Plain glazed cronut: I haven’t really had a cronuts, except from Paris Baguette (which I love). This cronut is massive and airy inside. It’s pretty like your regular glazed donut, but with a crispier outer texture. Not too bad.
Red Velvet: I had high hopes for this, as it was my first time with a red velvet donut. Unfortunately, this was my least favorite. I couldn’t really taste the cream cheese frosting (at least I think it’s cream cheese) and the donut itself didn’t have a lot of flavor.
Overall, I love that the donuts aren’t extremely sweet and my coworkers seemed to love the ones I brought to them. I’ll be coming back for more cronuts and bluerry donuts!

for top line service and great quality prices, this place it number 1 on my book. The donuts are great and if you like something special, like maple frosting on top, ask. If they are not too busy they will make it happen. Their special smoothies are wonderful with great pricing. Don’t miss on their sandwiches or you will miss out. All in all, you can’t miss with Circle donuts.

I’ve seen Circle Donuts for years, but it was about a year ago that I first gave it a try. I’ve regretted it ever since — their donuts are ridiculously good, and served with a sweet cheerful eagerness that guarantees i’ll need a box (and perhaps a spotter) to haul my order to the car. They’ll often throw in extras for free — donut holes, or a new flavor they know you haven’t tried yet. That’s how they get you.
Some favorites; the red velvet, blueberry, and orange cake donuts; the maple bacon bar; the fritter; the bear claw; and the too-​wicked-​for-​words stuffed cronut. They also make breakfast croissants with various combinations of breakfast items like egg, ham, gooey cheese, and jalapeño (don’t judge me!). The offerings are all substantial, rich, slightly crispy on the outside that seal in the moist deliciousness on the inside. The donuts are well priced, and though the icings can be good (lemon on the blueberry), the cake donuts are just as tasty unadorned. You can also get cookies, monster cupcakes and muffins, brownies, and other sinful baked goods.
I also see boba teas on the menu, which I usually forget until I’m leaving. Coolers offer various sodas, juices, waters, and energy drinks, and I’ve even seen a salad or two on offer. There’s a diverse selection of gum on offer as well — Stride, 5, Bubbleicious. There’s an ATM machine.
A dangerous place, in a triangular strip mall shared by a pizza joint and a UPS store and a bar and a realtor. From the street, it doesn’t look like much. But it’s tough to drive past once you’ve had your first taste.

So tasty, fresh and great value. Employees are happy to serve you and the donuts are made with love

I’ve passed Circle Donuts for the past several years to and from the gym. I’m not a big donut fan. However, if it comes to donuts, my favorite is the french crullers. I noticed all the great reviews on Unilocal,and there was a work friend’s Birthday, so I decided to pick up donuts for the office.
My fellow Unilocalers sure did not disappoint. Early on a weekday morning, the guy working behind the counter was welcoming and friendly. Since most of the reviews mentioned the awesome blueberry donuts, I went with a half dozen of those, and a half dozen of an assortment of french crullers.
My co-​workers and I loved the donuts. They were fresh and delicious. Loved the blueberry donuts. And the french crullers was on point. When I get a donut craving, I know I’ll be going back to Circle Donuts… that is after my workout!

Parking is easy (private lot).
Prices are just right … We ordered six donuts for $ 4.95 and two fancy donuts ! They sell sandwiches, lotto tix and boba drinks as well.
Service is excellent… we were greeted right away by the employees. They are really friendly and able to answer any questions we had.
Inside the shop they have a small seating area & a television. Great place to stop off for a quick bite ! I would definitely come here again on my next LB visit.

I went to circle donut yesterday it’s so busy and I tried their donuts are so good especially glaze, blueberry, chocolate cake… I have been tried the donuts shops in long beach but only the circle donuts is the best donuts in town and sellers are friendly, love them

Just stopped here for the first time this morning to pick up a dozen for the office. The donuts are amazing, honestly the best I have had– very light and creamy at the same time. I got a dozen mixed donuts and tried the glazed with coconut flakes on top, but my coworkers said the others were delicious too including red velvet cake and blueberry cake.

Stopped here for the first time. Even though I’ve driven by many times, I had never stopped in here. Parking was a little crowded but I managed to find a spot without too much waiting. They did not seem to have all of the fun donuts I’ve seen on other reviews, but had a standard selection like other donut shops. I just got one old fashioned and a blended Thai tea drink. The shop itself was kind of hot and stuffy, but I was there on a warm afternoon. It took quite awhile for my drink to be done even though I was the only customer… but it did come out pretty delicious. I don’t know if I’d go out of my way to this shop, but it was okay. No complaints, just a standard donut shop.

Where were the novelty donuts?!
Per the Unilocal reviews they had novelty donuts. What a bummer
Either way, I walked into the store disappointed by the fact the donuts were pretty much the same donuts you can get everywhere else
The quality of the donuts here were very good
I had the glazed blueberry donut, which at other places can be very dense. But the one here was full of blueberry flavor and light and soft. Even the old fashioned donut was very light and airy. Delicious!

It was National Library Week last week, so I decided on getting donuts from here, because I had picked up one the previous week and on the way out I spotted a tray of red velvet donuts. This place did not disappoint. I got a dozen red velvet with different typed of toppings, and a box of mixed. They were all gone and everyone asked where I got them. This is my local place to go now for donuts.
Lovely ladies running the shop as well.
