Country Donuts

I don’t know why I even try with this place. They have a muffin that I really enjoy. Three times I’ve tried to go back for it and every time I am forced to wait while the staff cashes in lotto tickets for people. Each time I have walked out. Go here for lotto apparently, NOT for donuts.

I live nearby so I’ve been here a handful of times ever since they opened a few years back. I dropped by last weekend for the first time in probably a year and man has quality gone down. First off I’m not an early bird by any means so me having to wake up at the buttcrack of dawn on a Saturday to drop the bro off for a field trip means I’m totally rewarding myself with donuts.
I got there around 7:45am and the place was pretty busy. Not surprising because the regulars want their coffee and lotto tickets lol. Being that it was still relatively early I was eager for freshly made (hopefully wishing still warm) donuts. I also grabbed a couple of ham and cheese croissants because I forgot how theirs compared to other places.
As soon as I got home less than 5 minutes I opened that pink box ready for some glazed fluffy heaven dough. I noticed at first glance that the bottom halves of the donuts (parts not covered in glaze or icing) looked a little dark — kind of a tan caramel color. They also failed to look soft and well donut-​like, reminded me more of some kind of bread crust.
First bite was okay, tasted like how an original glaze should taste — sweet but not teeth numbingly sweet. Took a couple more bites thinking «yay. this donut is alright and yummy» then after swallowing I realized how wrong everything was. My tongue felt coated; it left a strange powdery, drying feeling on my tongue. After another couple of bites I realized it felt like the donut was fried is super old, reused, going bad oil :(. This explained that drying feeling that bad oil can sometimes leave on the tongue. It wasn’t fluffy and soft at all — just tasted like a weird fried bread covered with glaze. Needless to say I was super disappointed and really upset that I ended up getting a whole dozen to share with the family.
Moving on to the ham & cheese croissant I was trying to be optimistic. And thankfully it was pretty good. Basically on par with all your other typical h&c croissants. The only downside is the lack of ham. It was a REALLY thin amount — maybe just two small slices? And for some reason the way they put it in the envelope (maybe with tongs? I wasn’t looking) made it SUPER flat. So basically it was more like just a cheese croissant with a hint of ham. Nothing hearty or filling.
Basically this place is cheap but not worth that little money anyway. Scrounge up the extra few cents and dollars and go to a better donut shop that will actually make your Saturday mornings happy.

I don’t see how this place stays in business. It it wasn’t for the «regulars» buying their not so good donuts. Coffee n lottery tickets. Business wouldn’t do good. Cause the Employees attitudes STINK… They are NOT friendly AT ALL!.. Speaking from going there 3xs. They struck out for me. F this place. Two thumbs dwn. I will Not Patrionize a NON FRIENDLY CUSTOMER SERVICE Business. You guys Suck!

I got donuts and a croissant sandwich from this place today, and I was pleasantly surprised! The donut holes were a hole in one – a true grand slam. I wish I got more donuts! This place also is like a convenience store kinda thing and has thrifty’s ice cream, so they have it all basically. I will have to get both donuts and ice cream next time I go!

I wasn’t blown away by Country donuts. They were just A-​OK. Had the ham and cheese croissant (with jalapenos) and that was awesome. The donuts aren’t bad, just nothing spectacular. Ill go back.

PROS: The croissants are good. The donuts are standard.
CONS: The employees suck. Not friendly at all. The coffee stand is always dirty. Lots of homeless people asking for money outside. They’re cash only — this is 2013.
Given the time, would much rather go elsewhere for a quick breakfast.

I’m on a hunt for tasty apple fritter. This place was busy, kinda famous from a Mega million winner yet I hated it.
The girl wasn’t nice and the fritter was dry or over cooked …
I guess I need to keep eating donuts until I find my mate
Apple frittier to crispy too sweet not fluffy

So close to winning the mega million jackpot. Of all the donut shops in California, you had to be the one. I guess it wasn’t my time. *tear*
Anywho I like their croissants and breakfast croissants. I prefer the plain over the breakfast one. They give you the option of warming up your croissant but I prefer to keep my crunchy croissant as such and never really get it warmed up unless its the breakfast one. The outer crust is buttery and flaky.
This please is a great place to stop in and grab a quick coffee, cold beverage or ICE CREAM (Thirfty’s Ice Cream). I haven’t been here in a while because its been crowded ever since the mega million jackpot was purchased here but I still like to swing by sometimes for a lotto ticket and ice cream.

Sometimes I just randomly crave milkshakes so I went on the Unilocal app looking for a milkshake place near my work one day. I didn’t have cash on me, so the next time I had a hankering for a milkshake and I was with cash, I went here during my lunch break.
Wow! Walking in, there are seriously a lot of lottery stuff. this would be a lottery fan’s dream. There is a good variety of donuts, and it looks like after 1pm they have a good deal (2 donuts for $ 1 I believe? check other reviews lol). Anyways in the back of the donut shop, there is there ice cream section… which is pretty big for a donut shop in my opinion. The selection is as big as Rite Aid I would say. They have many flavors, including watermelon and green tea! When it comes to ice cream you can have it served to you in a regular cup or cone, or you can have it as a milkshake, or banana split, or even a smoothie with boba. I got a strawberry banana smoothie with boba… I originally wanted strawberry and banana ice cream blended together as a milkshake but the lady said no and did it as a smoothie with milk, fruit and powder and all. I was like okay. just force me to choose a smoothie why don’t you… then I added boba for the hell of it. It was good for a smoothie but not amazing. Even though they added real fruit, there was an aftertaste I didn’t like.
The ladies behind the counter aren’t really friendly, but whatever. It’s also in the sketchy part of town (along Anaheim street), so expect a hobo around like when I went. So overall, 3 stars! Maybe after I try a real milkshake and maybe a donut I will give it an extra star. 2 more stars if I win the lottery from here!

Went here because today is national Sundae day, info courtesy of da Google. This was the closest and best reviewed ice cream eatery near by. In that case, the enormity of the amount of ice cream given was well worth the $ 2.50. I shared one sundae with my bf, and we asked how many scoops and she said 2. It turned out to be a good 4 scoops amount. Whipped cream, chocolate sauce, and rainbow sprinkles topped it off. I wish a cherry was on top and it was hot fudge instead of just chocolate syrup, because then it would have been my ideal kind of sundae. All and all good ice cream and it satisfied our craving.
To prove how much of a fatty I am, I wanted try their donuts, so I got 2 for $ 1 since it was after 2pm (You can’t bargain for 1 for .50, I tried). I don’t eat out at many donut places, but these were some goodddd donuts. Super fluffy.

I was soooo excited to check this place out and eat a great sundae. However I was very, very disappointed. I ordered a large (2) scoop ice cream sundae (scoops of my choice), and the girl behind the counter handed just the 2 scoops in a styrofoam cup ONLY. When I asked her for the whip cream, she really didn’t understand what I meant, and I also had to request the nuts. No fudge, chocolate or strawberry toppings and definitely no cheeries to top it off. So needless to say, don’t rush out to this place and have ice cream. The cost was great — they serve Thrifty Ice Cream so you may as well get yourself over to a Rite-​Aid store.

oh oh and if you need some whole cream to wash down your donut try the european iced coffee mmmmmmmmm!

This is the place to take your gf/​wife when she is cranky. She’ll walk out with a smile holding a cold milkshake. The customers there were friendly and chatty. I didn’t get any donuts there so I can’t comment on the donuts. This review is strictly based on its milkshake.
The milkshake here is better than In-​N-​Out milkshake IMO. I got strawberry banana milkshake and I enjoyed every drop of it. It is not too thick like In-​N-​Out strawberry shake so you don’t have to suck really hard on the straw and be disappointed because you have to wait for it to melt a little more. It is not as sweet as In-​N-​Out too… it’s just perfect.
The milkshake here is yummylicious and yes I will go back there.

This is byfar the best donut place I’ve been to in Long Beach (just to be fair, I haven’t been to that many).
There is always someone cleaning or sweeping whenever I’m there… that goes to show that they really care about the place and you feel safe knowing that they probably take care of the kitchen in the back just as much, if not more.
The workers are always so friendly and it seems like there are always usuals there who are comfortable hanging out there for awhile, which is fine because its welcoming. I first fell in love with a jalapeño croissant sandwich here and often times have cravings for it. One time, I didn’t see it in the display and almost ordered an alternative until the lady told me that she can make me one… no problem. REALLY? You’d do that for ME!?!
FABULOUS!
I haven’t tried anything else here, but definitely give the jalapeño croissant sandwich a go!
:D

This place is hard. Cigs in the window by the register to go with your doughnut, sir??? So rad. The doughnuts are great, fluffy, soft, and healthy for you. Thrifty ice cream? More rad. And probably supplied from the Rite Aid just a few doors down. Quite the eclectic bunch in here so be on your toes.

***DONUTS, «THRIFTY» ICE CREAM & BANANA SPLITS ***
~OMG.Great Donuts and Thrifty Ice Cream. I am in Heaven! ~
Donuts and Ice Cream. A heavenly combination. Romance! They go together like Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire, Cheek to Cheek. Every time I come here I feel like I am in Heaven.
This place also has the absolutely best milk shakes (non dairy avail.) and fantastically strong French style ice coffees.
~Donuts– 4 Stars
I have only tried a few so far that were all YUM. My favorite is the chocolate. The chocolate any kind. There is something about their chocolate. Have them warm it with a scoop of ice cream… OMG!!!
P. S. They are «healthier» donuts so eat a few:)
~Ice Cream– 4 Stars!
They have the award winning «Thrifty» brand. I think they have about 8 – 12 flavors. It is $ 1.00 for a cup! $ 1.00!!! They offer a variety of ice cream specialties including sundaes and banana splits. Oh. The Banana Splits! Ice Cream, Chocolate, Caramel and Strawberry toppings, nuts, and sprinkles all swimming in a deliciously rich whip cream! $ 4 bucks!

~Milkshakes-​5 Stars
They can make any type of milkshake you want. My favorite is the nondairy specials. I am particularly partial to the strawberry banana and the watermelon. Oh the watermelon. One of the customers referred to it as «Liquid Candy.» I cannot even describe these shakes. You have to, YOU MUST, order a shake.
~Coffee– 4 Stars
They have a very strong ice coffee that is blended to perfection. One order of this coffee will have you flying high all day.
~Atmosphere 4 Stars!
The owner/​family and the employees make this place cool. It is a typical donut place but a bit larger. They have both indoor and outdoor seating. They keep it clean and airy. THIS PLACE HAS LOTTO FEVER! Every time I come in, regardless of the time, it is bustling. People are constantly buying donuts and milkshakes. Others are eating donuts and playing Lotto like crazy! Makes me feel like I am in the center of the action.
Tip 1:
This place is on the edge of Little Cambodia. My first tip is to grab a light and spicy lunch and come here after. The sweetness of this place’s sweets will give you a balanced meal!
Tip 2:
The earlier you come the busier it is. but the donuts are more fresh.
I prefer the afternoon. I absolutely love the milkshakes and banana split, especially when it is hot. Or, do what I did the other day. Come in early and get the STRONG Ice Coffee and a donut and then return in the afternoon for the milkshake or banana split!
Tip 3!!! Don’t be shy. create whatever you want. THEY WILL MAKE WHAT YOU WANT! They even gave us free fresh mango. Just ask. Or, ask what they think is the best. This is the place to be creative even if it’s not on the menu!
BONUS: This place has free wifi! This place also boasts a selection of croissants/​sandwiches and even hot dogs.

Really tasty donuts here. Got here 15 mins before they closed and the donuts were still very moist and fresh. Shop is nicely lit and the display case has a large assortment of donuts. Employees were nice and friendly, bought 2 donuts and they gave me one free.

Bring a gun but this place has great donuts. Their chocolate covered old-​fashioned are yum. Standard Anaheim Blvd. crackheads sprinkled about but I know kung-​fu and carry assorted weapons. So even though I’m doing the occassional combat roll to my car and managing not to spill my dozen, it’s worth risking your life. Viva la Country-​Crack Donuts!

I buy 2 dozen donuts here to take to work every Friday morning. Better than average donuts — they just raised their prices to $ 6.75 a dozen. Oh and if you are into the California Lottery this place ahould be heaven for you!
