Dey’s Doughnuts & Croissants

this place is a hidden gem!
the best iced coffee better than starbucks or lees. vietnamese style coffee has strong taste. the lady in this bakery is nice too!

The owner is Jenny and she is fabulous. We have been going there for 6 years. She know my kids on a name basis and they give her hugs. She is so kind and friendly. My husband goes there every day before work for a special blend of coffee she grids and mixes. He is addicted to it. Her husband Sam is just as wonderful. Great people and great service! And don’t forget to order a tasty croissant glazed with honey.

This is by far my fave donut spot in our area. Lots of folks head over to Stearns to another place that’s pretty good… But seriously Deys is always better. Ultra friendly service. Try the mini croissant! Yummy honey glaze on top is perfect.
This is your basic donut shop. No fancy coffee, no crazy flavor selections… Good basic donuts.

I visited this location one more time, a while ago, but for some reason Unilocal took my review off, saying it lacked firsthand experience. Not sure why, when I was there, firsthand. In any case, to uphold my integrity in rating using Unilocal,I’m attempting to repost my review of my repeat visit here. Thus, this review.
I tried the coffee again, and it was not to my liking. I think it’s low quality, and poorly made. Also, they use styrofoam cups, which are horrible for the environment, all for just one little cup of (bad) coffee.
I’m not going back here.

I can’t comment on the food here because I don’t eat donuts. But I did come in to use the lottery service, it was 7;15 am and I wanted to Cash my scratcher. It was a ten dollar winner and the lady said she would not cash it because they don’t have ten dollars change. So I said well I have a 100 dollar bill I need to break it can I buy something to break my bill? The cashier said yes. What I don’t understand is how can you have 97.60 to give me in change from my hundred but not ten dollars to cash my scratcher? I also didn’t get to break the 100 because apparently a banana and a water isn’t worth breaking my 100 dollar bill, sorry I’m trying to eat healthy?! I’m so irritated I only needed ten dollars to give my family member for camp. So whatever system you have going keeping your lottery and register money separate is BS! Or maybe you just have a idiot working your morning shift. And now I’ll never be back not to try a darn thing.

The BEST ham and cheese croissants period! Owners are really nice and the location is very convenient. I’ve been to other doughnut shops and the quality if the doughnuts and croissants are no where near as good as these. For the price and quality, I would recommend this place at any given day!

2.5 stars! I’m honestly not quite sure how to feel about this place. My super sweet co-​worker brought in some donuts from here.
Immediately, I noticed the donuts were more pale colored, which she noted was a good thing because it means they change their oil out often before they fry a new batch. However, the donuts themselves tasted kind of different from the norm I’m used to — an unfamiliar and unaccustomed taste, that I’m still not sure if I’m fond of or not.
I can definitely taste a difference, but again, I still have yet to decide whether or not I like this difference. I will say this… the donuts do seem lighter and less dense than your average donuts, but I still feel like they may lack enough flavor. It seems like there’s still something missing from them, but I can’t quite put my finger on it!

FRAUDULENT COMPANY, DO NOT BUY LOTTERY TICKETS AND SCRATCHERS FROM THEM!!! My mom would walk to this donut shop all the time and purchase scratchers. When she finally won 12 free scratchers, she went to the register to claim her scratchers and the woman told her she didn’t win and threw the scratcher in the trash. I’m pretty sure if we would have reported her she would have lost her business license. VERY unprofessional and careless. way to think things through.

The croissants are mediocre at best. They don’t use real croissant dough. However there is a good variety of flavors. Ham and cheese, Turkey and cheese, sausage and cheese. Didn’t try the doughnuts and scared to try the coffee based on previous posts!
Had it again today because its so close to CSULB and it wasnt even close to being all the way cooked through. Im going to pass going forward.

Pros:
Pretty good food, cheap prices, safe location and great cuestiones service
Cons:
Freshness
Food Experience:
This place is lowkey a hole in the wall. It has the look with small little tablas and the first people you see are the owners and they’re so nice. The only thing is that they have to reheat my ham and cheese everytime I come on Sunday mornings every so often. It’s only $ 2.50 for a jalapeño ham and cheese.
Conclusion:
I would recommend it if you’re in the area and want a quick snack or bite.

I’ve been going to Dey’s Donuts for over 15 years. I always stop in on weekends before 6am on the way to El Dorado Golf Course for a few of their great donuts. The bear claws are one of my favorites. Their selection is very good and always fresh. I also appreciate their great service and competitive prices.
It’s amazing how some people can only rate this place with a single star. Maybe they thought they were at an AA meeting or the Rescue Mission. They should probably download Google Maps to help them get to their intended destination the next time around.

WOW! Best Croissant I have ever had. I ordered the Sausage and cheese croissant, and BF ordered the Turkey and cheese. Both were amazing!
Only down side is, they don’t take card… but they do have an ATM inside (with a fee of course).

This is my local doughnut shop. They always have a good selection, even late in the day. They make traditional-​style doughnuts, not the overly-​glazed Krispy-​Kreme style.

Amazing quality, selection and LOW prices!

This is the place to go for donuts – and more. Wherever you are it is well worth the drive. I have a State Farm Insurance Agency on Bellflower in Long Beach. For our business State Farm clients, I prefer to take pastries. Even if the client is in the opposite direction, I will gladly go the extra miles to pick up Dey’s donuts for my clients and for my State Farm team. The problem I have is not eating Dey’s donuts myself before I get to see my client. It is a challenge driving next a box of fresh Dey’s donuts. The aroma is phenomenal.
Today, based on a prior Unilocal,I tried the Thai Ice Tea. Best I have ever had! Woooow! I had the pleasure of meeting, Sem, the owner. What a kind, gentleman. He took time to explain to me and my team member his specialties. His ham and Cheese Jalapeño Croissant was top of his list. He warned me if you want one I need to get there close to 10:00 – wow what does that tell you?
Better get there early. He told my we could order things the night before. I am going to surprise my team the Friday with those the cheese jalapeño croissant… I’ll call in the order Thursday afternoon. I’ll update this review and let you know, but I have no doubt on a scale of 1 –10 it will be an 11.
Master baker Sem and I this morning. I wisely – as Sem advised – had Sophia from our office pre-​order last night. There went the surprise. Sem smiled and said «it was you good you ordered last night there are already all gone.» Leslie and I got the Jalapeño Croissant, Sophia got the mini croissant. Of course we all got the legendary Dey’s Thai Tea. It was fantastic. Dey’s is where I pick up my pastries for office events and to take to clients. He is a great State Farm Client, baker, and friend.
Dey’s Doughnuts is our State Farm office Business of the month for this July 2011. We posted his photos on our Facebook pages at Jon Wiedenman State Farm. Check them out! Even got a photo of his super Croissant.
His ATM made it easy to get cash, and I really like the fact. He also has a lottery ticket too. Sem’s menu included several exotic fountain drinks and this is great. I just don’t know how I will get past the Thai Ice Tea… spoiled forever.
8÷14÷2011 Update:
My son and I stopped by for a couple of drinks. This was Ian first visit and I was lucky to have bot Jenny – Mrs Dey’s donuts, and Sem the Master baker. Ian got the «Orange-​sicle» and I got Dey’s freshly brewed ice tea. Ian loved it, I tasted it too. Eyes closed it was a liquid version of the Popsicle i relished as a kid. Will post a few new photos of this fantastic bakery!

My wife is addicted to the jalapeño ham and cheese croissants. They make em themselves, thick slices of ham and fresh, spicy jalapenos. If you like generic donut shop ham cheese croissants, you’ll love theirs. The only reason they don’t get 5 stars is because they often run out of the Jalapeño’s. As for the donuts, I am a raised glaze lover and these are as good as any I’ve had.

Good, inexpensive donuts and the people who work there are nice. Lots of parking space as well. They also sell ice blended mochas and smoothies, but I haven’t tried them (yet).

I guess I don’t get there early enough to get super fresh warm donuts, but they’re still pretty good. Big donuts, decent variety. They do charge extra for the boston crème or any filled donuts. Most donut shops include those donuts with the others when buying a dozen. People there are friendly and service is fast. I will go again for the convenience and the quality.

THAI ICED TEA! FOR $ 2! THE BEST I’VE EVER HAD!
plus the melt in your mouth doughnut… mmmmmm
Why are no one coming here??? Fine! I’ll keep it all to myself.
Muhahahahaaaa…

4 stars because the donuts ARE good but they close at 2pm and when they run out of a type of donut they don’t make more. But the chocolate old fashioned made my day. Get their early!
