Simone's Donuts

So neighborhood, so wonderfully old school... been here a long time. Great doughnuts, decent coffee and all kinds of snacks and sandwiches... and an atmosphere hard to come by in this ever more corporate world. Had the apple fritter and it was perfect. This little strip mall has a bunch of local gems...

edited: the cronuts are the way to go—crispy, buttery, and delicately sweet, just wasn't giving anything new to me. the thai green tea was a cup of aggressively-sweet milk, with the signature earthy tea note taking a backseat. the apple fritter i revisited this spot for was just tragic, it was fresh out the back so i was thrilled, but it was so so so oily, grease bursting with every bite. i mean the glaze was fresh and yum [they do sugar glazes consistently well here] but the pastry was burnt, greasy, and brittle as hell 😔

Best donuts in long beach! Stephanie is one of the nicest people. Love seeing her smile when we walk in. We come here weekly because its so good!

Came here one morning just before 6am to get some donuts for work. They had a great selection and everyone at worked really liked the donuts, many people asked me where I got them. I paid $15 for a dozen. Says they are open 24hrs which is awesome for those late night cravings! I will definitely be back again!

If you’re in Long Beach YOU GOTTA TRY THIS DONUT SPOT. Really good, really fresh! Many options, fan favorites and new options. We got green tea donut, maple bar, twist, cronut (croissants donut), and donut holes. ALL tasty. They have Thrifty Ice Cream (THE BEST!). There are also Vegan options! Definitely recommend.

I had this place bookmarked for a while. Finally stopped by to try the cronuts. I like to try new donuts spots often and rate and unfortunately this is not a spot I will return to. The cashier had standard customer service. I grabbed a cronut & a tiger tail. I couldn't finish the tiger tail, letting it go to waste (which I hate doing). Both were too sweet and not fresh enough. I will stick to my Mr. Donut Man instead since the donuts don't compare to anything I've tried in LA. And Pinkbox in Vegas still beats them all by a mile. I will continue my search for a good donut spot in the LBC. Also, there was this other lady by the door just staring me up and down, giving bad vibes when I was grabbing some napkins and leaving the store. Turns out, she works there. Why? Why would she be acting like that. I figured she was upset I grabbed napkins. Def not returning.

Came to this place because it was the only thing opened late, the place is a little on the dirty side, the Donuts did not taste fresh and they didn’t taste good, i tasted like a medicine flavor, i get sick after i ate them as well. The positive is that they open 24hrs and they accept debut and zelle

Amazing Apple Fritter. Wonderful Spinach and Kale croissant. Delicious Bacon Maple Bar…even have Vegan donuts. Staff always friendly…24/7
