Granny’s Donuts

I had the glazed old fashion and it was gross. All you could taste was the oil it was fried in

I had BIGGEST and best apple fritter I have ever had! And believe me, I know my apple fritters!

Always come to granny’s always love their donuts when I’m in town. This time I got charged almost twice as much for tax then the legal standard so I just kind of want to talk about how I got stroked by granny’s today. On a $ 4.70 bill I was charged $ 5.60 that is 20% tax. I love the donuts I come every time I’m in town but I think it’s ridiculous that the small businesses like liquor stores and Donunt shops in Long Beach Are just stroking people extra money on taxes. I guess the question would be does that money go in the pocket of the person excepting it or is that money going to run the business. Either way is unacceptable and ridiculous. what ever happened to customer service and satisfaction.

Granny’s is located on the corner of 4^th and Redondo in a small strip mall.
I drive by it every morning, nothing special-​except that the red light always catches me there. I try to look at the bike shop across the street, but the thought of a sweet jelly donut… makes me drool! Apple fritters are pretty good too-​especially if they are still warm.
Good prices-​but cash only!

Do yourself a favor a go to the donut shop down on 2^nd st or go up to some of the ones on 7^th.
This place is nothing special.
I give it such a low rating because it just looks like the owner is cheap as hell and doesn’t care. Everything inside looks old as hell. Almost like it is granny’s. Hahahaha.
It is even kinda dark inside like the owner is too cheap to even turn on the lights.
Congrats lady, u saved $ 5 on your electric bill this month, but u just assured me that u r a cheapass.
And I am sure u prolly make your donuts with the cheapest ingredients there are…
I know it isn’t like I am trying to take a date here, but still I don’t want to buy food from a super cheapass

Almost. Almost, one of the best in the area. A good value for the money. You have to get here when they’re fresh hot!
You won’t regret it!

I feel like I’m back in high school with their great prices. They are priced just the way a business like this should be. Great donuts, I love the hot ham n cheeses! They really make some very yummy donuts! The owner’s are the nicest people.

Soooo good. Best apple fritter ever. Also tried a cake donut with sprinkles– really yummy! The prices are fantastic!

Stopped here for my first time today & was very happy I did! Picked up 2 Doz Donuts, got a nice variety to take to my sons class. Everyone loved the donuts and the most common comment was how fresh they were! My Fav was the glazed twist, it melted in my mouth. I will absolutely come here again. Also the owner was nice & offered to carry my donuts to the car for me since I had a 2 year old in my arms. Very thoughtful & not the norm.

Good local donut shop!

Craved some good maple bars, read some reviews and had to try some, they are great! Would be five stars, but the selection was limited.

Love California donuts they are so light and fluffy.

My regular doughnut place was closed so I decided to try out this place. I was very impressed with it.
I ordered 2 ham and cheese croissants and they were both flaky, savory and delicious. I also grabbed a dozen donuts and was very impressed with them as well. All of them were quite hefty, but without getting too heavy or dense.
The service was excellent as well. A young guy was very friendly, and I had a few good laughs with him. All in all an excellent doughnut place, and I will be coming back.

Came here around 11am on a Sunday after we put our names on the ridiculous waiting list for Coffee Cup Café. Parking was easy as it’s in a strip mall with a small lot.
Place was empty. I can’t remember the last time I went into donut shop so I have no idea if the prices were good but they’re all under $ 1.00 a donut. I got a maple bar and my husband got a glazed old fashioned and we ordered 2 coffees. Both tasted soft, fresh and tasty but again, I’m no donut connoisseur.
The girl at the counter was really nice and asked us our plans for the day and we chatted a bit as we ate our donuts inside. She ended up giving me a chocolate bar instead of a maple bar and when I brought it to her attention, she apologized, told me to keep the chocolate (because she couldn’t sell it) and also gave me my correct donut. Very pleased — some take the incorrect item knowing that they’re just going to throw it away so I appreciate her thoughtfulness.
Overall, I’m happy with this spot — it’s not much to look at but service is great and donuts are spot on.

I came here to grab some coffee before my open house not too far away from this place.
I didn’t get any donuts or anything to eat. Nice little coffee shop, coffee was great!

Best donuts I’ve had in a long time, they were fresh and delicious. I’ll definetly be back for more

I actually know the owners here and they are nice. They do not sell day old donuts. The donuts are made every morning and the left over donuts are donated or sold. When i forget to bring cash, the lady let me pay later until the next time i came there. The donuts are pretty good. if you come on the right day, and if the baker makes it justtt right, the donut melts in your mouth as soon as you bite it. The donuts arent as greasy as other donuts from other shops.
When the coffee is just made, it tastes delicious. (in my opinion, better than starbucks) They have vanilla/​hazelnut creamer. All you have to do is ask for it, but it will have to cost you an extra 25cents.
Cash only! :)

CASH ONLY MOTHER FUCKERS… and don’t mess with Granny. She’ll crack an awkward joke right as you’re waiting for your change… so you have to oddly chuckle while she slowly picks dollar bills and loose change from the till. Then, then I say high-​tail it out of there and slam a donut in your car.
Ya heard?

I am not really a donut eater, but I brought some to school as a prize for one of my classes, and when I stopped in at 6:30 am they were all warm and just out of the oven, and actually smelled so good that it made me want to eat one (I didn’t).
Here comes the 2 star part. Because they were so warm, I asked the guy cramming all 36 of them into the box if the chocolate would melt and they would stick together. Now, this is obviously a fellow that knows his donuts, and he told me, «Not at all. The chocolate is already set.»
Wrong! It was a mess trying to get them out of the box, which he obviously knew would happen, but didn’t want to a) have to give me more than 2 boxes for my 3 dozen donuts and b) answer in the affirmative on the off chance that I would decide against purchasing said donuts. Not that I bring in donuts very often, but I wouldn’t come back here if it came up again. That, and a more weathered donut eater than I am told me that they weren’t particularly fabulous.

So I know the owners and the family– and I just wanted to correct a few assumptions made by other posters.
First, the doughnuts that sit uncovered after the shop closed do not get sold the next day– they sit there until they owner makes new batches fresh in the morning– the day old doughnuts and othe pastries actually get packed and sent over to the Long Beach Rescue Mission.
Second, their banana walnut muffins are made with real bananas. I just wanted to put that out there. It is DELICIOUS!
*Based on customer service, price, location, and taste, I think this place deserves 5 stars. What else do you expect from a doughnut shop? They have the cheapest priced croissants that I know of.
