What a place! Both donuts and drinks were right on with really enjoyable flavors and styles. Our favorite donuts place in greater LA

This is the best place to go for your every sweet tooth need. It is a family owned business and deserves more than 5 stars. I only wish there was a way to give them more stars. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This is a family owned donut shop. They make gourmet donuts for a very reasonable price. They have also made letter donuts for me and do amazing job! Love them! Recommend you order at least 4 days prior for custom orders.Happy Chomping

Absolutely love this place, I had them cater for my daughters birthday and everyone really enjoyed the donuts. The hibiscus was the star of the show but my personal favorite has to be the blueberry with lemon glaze!

They have really good vegan raised donuts (the cake are just ok) and I was excited to get some on a Sunday morning. When I arrived all that was there were cake donuts and the teen worker rudely told me they weren’t making any more vegan donuts. Why offer raised donuts on the weekends if you don’t even have any ready and only make a certain amount before stopping? I will not be coming here for donuts again.

The baked goods are great. The coffee is amazing. The employees are sometimes rude and miss simple instructions like cutting a bagel in half (on multiple occasions). If Im paying for it I want it the way I want it. Peace.

I like Sweet Retreat because they got sweets to eat. 🍞 🍩 🍰

Very cute shop!! it has amazing donuts and great customer service!!! Loved it!

The workers are super nice! Doughnuts are delicious and so are the drinks! I come here when I sneak out to scavenge for food. I’m planning to come here every day after summer school :D I love this place!

Fast professional service. First time there, got a bit crowded. I still asked a couple of questions, the girl still answered my questions and was moving quick. I got a red eye, which is a coffee with a shot of espresso (I didnt know what it was) and a cream cheese croissant. Both delicious. Definitely need to go back and try some of their fancier stuff.

Nice clean place

Their vegan donuts are delicious and very reasonably priced! Really pretty, too ✨

VEGAN DONUT HEAVEN! Their Tiger’s Tail may be better than any dairy-made donut I’ve ever had. The atmosphere is contemporary compared to its surroundings, and the staff is very friendly. I’d recommend the Tiger’s Tail, the Apple Fritter (not vegan), and the Oreo Chocolate Peanut Butter😆

Shout out to Jennifer, thank you for your help amazing customer service will be coming back! Plus they got vegan doughnuts wahhhhhat?

Was so excited to have a vegan option! I learned last year I had an egg allergy, and I’ve been so sad to learn how much carries egg in it! Pastries are hard to come by without egg (it basically has to be a vegan type of pastry). This place has such an assortment for vegan donuts!! Soooooo goooood.

Vegan vietnamese coffee and donuts! Great service. Very nice staff and the best taro coconut donuts ever!

Ive missed those cake donuts since going vegan, so when I found out that this place had vegan donut options, I immediately made a trip there. Donuts are delicious! And they have a ton of options along their regular donuts. They also serve coffee and smoothies!

Cost effective. Warm softest donut and she even tossed some ice in the coffee.

Better than Randys Donuts! not greasy or dry just perfect, this is my go-to Donut Spot and they also have ice cream best Donuts everrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr ...sorry I just love Donuts

Amazing coffee and super fresh donuts with icing made out of fresh fruit..

Cute shop, fantastic donuts!

Fresh doughnuts; good coffee; what more is there? Well, Sweet Retreat is just that. An oasis off PCH serving well pulled espresso and fresh pastries in a very cozy little spot.

I had a Thai iced tea and tried the redvelvet donut & theyre definitely delicious will come again

They special-made some vegan raised donuts for me (they were out of a few flavors but they still had plenty of choices) and they threw in a rose cake donut for free (also vegan). The donuts were all delicious. I’ll definitely be back.

My husband and I are donut addicts, that when we wrote our wedding vows, we both mentioned donuts without each other knowing it. With that said this place has the BEST VEGAN DONUTS! I thought I found the best donuts till I came across this place. Its soo fresh, that it melts in your mouth. They have a huge variety of vegan donuts from raised, apple fritter, bear claw, cinnamon roll, cake, different topping, that its hard to just pick 1 or 2. Basically I just want to eat every flavor. Not only the vegans are great, but the owner is amazing, the staff are great, overall a friendly experience. The place is just soo cute inside. Whats awesome is they do customized donuts for parties, so I am soo excited to use them for my daughters first birthday party, Donut grow up Theme haha.

Clean, delicious, fresh and amazing staff.

Best donuts I ever had, this spot is way better than any other spot I ever been in my life!!!

I really like this donut shop, they have very good quality donuts and many varieties to choose from.

This place is amazing! They were still setting up shop and only had a few doughnuts in front but could take orders. I ordered 6 vegan “cake” doughnuts. When they came out the doughnuts were piping hot! Freshest vegan doughnuts I have ever eaten. Super unique flavors! Beautiful presentation!. PLUS discount for complete vegan orders!

Green Matcha w/Oatmilk

I love the environment of the place don’t get me wrong but, the line took around 10 minutes when there was only one person in front of me, I understand that there was only one worker present but, they should have more staff. I also ordered a ham and cheese and could only eat the bread portion because the cheese and ham were very rancid, and I ordered two apple fritters which were greasy and had no APPLE!(one of them had a hair) my friend had ordered iced coffee but, we had soon discovered the coffee was very bitter, Rancid, and burnt. Which was not very pleasing. But overall, very friendly, polite, and respectful staff. I am just leaving this comment for an honest review. I hope they find room for improvement.

The quality and taste of these donuts are immaculate. I haven’t tasted anything vegan that’s just as good as these donuts were. I recently had to switch to vegan for health reasons and Hands down I’m going to gain like 50 pounds by the amount of time I plan on spending here because I’m in love.

Sweet Retreat offers great vegan donuts in a clean, open location staffed by friendly people. The donuts are a little pricey, but so it goes. Normalize vegan donuts 😋

Amazing vegan donut selection - friendly and enthusiastic service.

Amazing selection of vegan donuts. Get there early or they may be sold out!

Great donuts and a great selection. The owners are really friendly

Great spot for gourmet donuts (including vegan options) and a great selection of coffees. Highly recommend the blueberry crumb donuts!

Not that Im a vegan but their vegan donuts are delicious. Must try the hibiscus one.

Sweet Retreat offered a good variety of vegan fried cake donuts. The vegan cake donuts were really lite and fluffy. I bought the vegan passion fruit glaze, chocolate with coconut, sugared, berry, raspberry and fruity pebbles. All of the flavor options were amazing. The customer service was also phenomenal.

Super delicious Gourmet Donuts, reasonably priced and friendly staff!

VEGAN DONUT PARADISE! So tasty and super friendly.

Absolutely the best donuts in Cali!🍩🍩💗💗

Love the ham & cheese crossonts.. donuts are awesome...

Best, most friendly, staff, great variety of donuts all super and top quality, vegan and custom donuts, best donut shop in the LBC

I didnt like the coffee, but there are some nice peoples, doughnuts are great

Vegan donuts are great. I think only available on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

This place was glorious.. at first the place looked like any other lil donuts shop .. but nope the treats that come out of here are the most delicious in long beach.. so far.. we had the maple bacon bar and the strawberry and cream (both made upon request).. too good for words.. mm mmm mmmm.. we also tried a lemon drop and an hibiscus cake donut.. both vegan and both the best cake donut Ive ever had in my life.. they were both moist/soft and packed with flavor.. we also had two slushie.. one with boba one without.. both were very refreshing and delicious.. I doubt you could go wrong here.. and the lady that helped us was so nice and the atmosphere very inviting.. loved out first experience .. will definitely be going again..

THIS PLACE IS FANTASTIC!!! As foodie with a major sweet tooth, I am super picky, especially regarding things being homemade and using REAL ingredients, not artificial, cheap garbage. Most donut places, even expensive gourmet ones, use fake whipped cream as you would find at Krispy Kreme (or in a Twinkie). This is the ONLY PLACE Ive ever found that actually uses REAL WHIPPED CREAM--and its HOMEMADE!. HUGE taste difference. Their passion fruit glaze is the real deal--fresh, tangy, delicious balance of tangy&sweet, not cloying. Plus, where else can you get passion fruit donuts? Hibiscus is another winner--beautiful rich ruby-purple color with flavor to match, even topped with REAL (dried) ibiscus flowers! Taro, matcha, and pineapple are other unique flavors not found anywhere else. And, LOW PRICES. They charge under $2 for what other gourmet shops charge $3+. (Same general area, too; its not as if one is in an upscale neighborhood.) At another gourmet shop, I have paid $4.5 for a donut with fake cream whereas SWEET RETREAT charged me only $3.50 for a large chocolate-glazed donut filled with REAL, HOMEMADE whipped cream and FRESH STRAWBERRIES! Their SMORES donut is one of the BEST THINGS IVE EVER EATEN. It didnt just have marshmallows on top, it had a large TOASTED marshmallow--like a real smore-- on top of crushed graham crackers and gooey chocolate. HEAVENLY!

Love it. Owner is really nice and wonderful

What a great little place that from the outside looks very unassuming. This is not your basic little shopping plaza donut store. These are clearly homemade with pride and DELICIOUS! The interior is funky with an artsy vibe and the owner works making donuts and helping the customers. Awesome donuts!

I love the uniqueness of there donuts. They have fruit toppings on them. Their regular donut are also really good.

1st time there. Friendly service. Went there because theyve got a vegan selection as well as non. Really really tasty.

This is the best Donut shop ever!!!! Everything so delicious and fresh! I Always recommend it to everybody 100% for the best donuts, bagels, smoothies and coffee!, They also have other fresh tasty beverages!, The customer service is also top notch!, I see them as family honestly😀. Long beach In the house!!🍩🍩🍦

Everything in this cafe is delicious!! You could get a different thing every day with guaranteed satisfaction. Not to mention the incredible staff. They’re so kind and they really know their customers.

They were very friendly and did a wonderful job with my custom order

Really friendly and welcoming space. Ordered am a rose almond milk tea - delicious. Will definitely go back.

THE MOST AMAZING DOUGHNUTS I HAVE HAD IN YEAR!They also have outstandingly amazing vegan doughnuts which is so hard to find. 10/10 recommending this place if your anywhere near!

Omg, I had the banana cake donut with chocolate and it was goooooood! I also got the pineapple glaze and it was unbelievably moist, the best donut Ive ever eaten. I wouldnt expect this kind of donut shop to be in this location. The lady who helped me was extremely friendly and helpful. Cant wait to go back to try them all.

Everytime I am in here it feels relaxing and exciting even if I am in a rush. The staff is cool and the donuts just hype you up. Their vegan donuts are awesome even though Im not a vegan but Ill buy them from time to time for me or friends who are. They cant believe how good it tastes compared to pricier vegan donuts elsewhere. The service is great because every member has a favorite item in most categories that theyll talk about and offer suggestions. There are some wacky donuts that look good too.Because Ive been here enough, most of the good stuff becomes low in quantity around late morning or no more until they can make more; Ive experienced it sometimes but theres no harm in being flexible.The iced vegan chai latte is the one.

Fun donut shop, donuts are a bit on the heavy side. Vegan donuts are surprisingly very good. Perhaps better than their regular counterparts at this shop. The coffee is always very good.

The owners are the nicest most patient people. There is a chalk board anyone can contribute to. Their art wall is hilarious. And best of all, their donuts are always soft and spongy.

We love this place for regular awesome donuts and special occasions. They will make your favorites to request. Make sure you give enough time and you wont be disappointed.

Cute oasis - made for a very welcome retreat from traffic and chains.Tasty donuts (blueberry cake crumb), smoothies, and espresso. I also saw they have flavored milk teas l.

Super sweet & friendly.delish kona mocha iced blended.yummy chocolate bar donut & they gave me a couple donut hole samples.nice decor.Much nicer than most local donut shops.at the end of a shopping center and you could almost miss it.Vegan donuts as well although I havent had those yet.

Delicious but they ALWAYS run out of donuts. I have called ahead several times and I always get the same story. Running out is a good thing but not when I dont get mine 😭

My 5 year old son and I have come to Sweet Retreat twice and we are obsessed! He asked to come here for the second time. For him.to special request this spot specifically is maje!Such a cute location with AMAZING choices in donuts ranging from basic, to gourmet, to vegan. Also this spot is VERY INSTAGRAM WORTHY and so is the food. Delicious. Unique. Coffee was great too! Check it out for sure!

The most delicious donuts in town, especially the vegan donuts. The have very unique flavors, but all of them are delicious.

Very tasty gourmet donuts. We love all the delicious vegan options!

This place just opened up in August of 2015, and boy, are they fantastic! Some things you do need to special order (which means they make it there, its not pre-made), like donut-ice cream sandwiches. I had a cinnamon roll/twist thing with apples and raisins in it, and it was absolutely fantastic! If youre in West LB and youre craving a donut, go here!

This donut shop has some of the best donuts and Im addicted to their Thai tea 🍹

What an amazing place excellent service so nice . The donuts are the best I have ever had so delicious and fresh . I love this place we need more store like this . That really care about their customers and satisfaction . Take pride in good service .

Yummy, reasonable priced donuts. Interesting flavors and the coffee is great too. Staff is friendly and helpful.

New favorite donut spot. Not even a huge donut person, but this place is great. Their passion fruit vegan donut is the bomb. Been in the area for years. Cant believe I just found this jem. Super delicious coffee too!! Awsome staff aswell! Cheers

This place is so cute and everyone is so sweet. The prices are super cheap too!! I will be coming here often

I enjoy the friendly smile that welcomes me and she always remember how I like my ice coffee.... Great place to stop in at any time of day

I dont like they charge 50 cents charge to card usage.

This place makes the best mochas. The crossaints are always fresh and warm. Fast and friendly service.

Incredible vegan raised and cake doughnuts! I can morally only give four stars because it’s not all vegan, but their vegan doughnuts are a 10!! I seriously can’t say enough good things about them!Cake ones are available every day, and raised ones that taste like a mixture of heaven and the best thing in earth are available Friday through Sunday.

Great donuts and great owners! Been coming here since their soft opening and I have never had a problem and always leave satisfied!
