Goody’s Donuts

I have been coming here since it opened in the 1970s. The donuts are good and the staff is nice. I only wish they stayed open later than 12:30.

I never get tired of donuts! They are one of my comfort foods! Have passed by Goody’s many times, but have only tried them once.
So is Goody’s good? Well, what I tried was pretty darn tasty. Bought me a powdered covered custard filled donut for 80 cents. Don’t know if that is the real name of that treat, but I’ll go with it. Great value for this yummy sweet!
Won’t be my last time here. I’ll be trying more of their goods in the future. Good job Goody’s!

I had a mad craving for a ham n cheese croissant and decided to call up a few donut deli’s nearby on Christmas Day. This was the only place open to 12pm.
My husband and I rushed to the deli and to our surprise everyone had the same idea. The donut trays in the display case was mostly empty. Either they were ransacked prior to arrival or they just didn’t anticipate such a large crowd in Christmas Day.
There were a few ham n cheeses, donut holes, chocolate/​glaze twist, regular sprinkle donuts and some plain ones sitting in the display. Fresh maple bars were being made behind the counter. We ended up getting one maple bar, one ham n cheese, one Choco/​maple glaze, 12 donuts holes. Price $ 6.05.
Store interior is clean and well kept. Owners are nice.
Ham n cheese: Nothing special. It is wrapped in a plastic sandwich bags which after hearing, made it taste like plastic (not ideal).
Fresh maple bar:” Fresh, perfectly glazed with maple and melt in your mouth goodness.”-per the husband
Choco/​glaze twist: Same as other donut places.
Donut holes: I normally a few for free with my regular donut shop so I felt the price was a bit steep.
It was an overall good experience, however, there was nothing besides the fresh maple bar that tasted outstanding.
In the end, I was just grateful that this donut deli was open on Christmas Day.

My co-​worker brought some of these donuts in and while the fritter was excellent, the combination glazed/​devils food twist has me wanting to head over there myself, even in the rain!!!

Yo. This place dope.
But okay really. The donuts are big and warm, there’s a good variety, and it’s not overpriced. Definitely recommended.

This donut shop has the best tiger tails. Been coming here since I was a young boy my uncle used To make the donuts here back in 89 – 94 I remember he will bring donuts to our house almost every day after work the owner Pete very nice person. I believe one of the original workers is still there. Shout out to Beto.

The people are very very nice here. The donuts are mighty tasty too. I really love the glazed twist. I probably can eat only one doughnut so I can’t comment on the other ones. however they look beautiful. I can’t wait to get home to my girls.

This donut shop has been around for as long as I can remember. I have fond memories of coming here early in the morning to grab a freshly made donut and orange juice before High School. Well, it’s been more than a few years since then and this place hasn’t changed a bit. It looks like the same Asian family is running it (but now with the adult son at the helm… though I do still see the elderly parents there sometimes). The store could really use some updating, but 70’s era décor aside, the place still turns out some good donuts.
In particular, I’m a fan of their tiger tails. For those of you who don’t know, a tiger tail is a yeast donut shaped into a long twist, with a delicious chocolate ribbon woven into the center. If you get there in the mornings, they are usually fresh and hot out of the fryer. Mmmmm… fried foods…
The don’t have the biggest selection of donuts, but it’ll do. For donuts only, they get 3.5 stars. The added half star is for friendly service.

I came into this shop this morning to buy 3 dozen donuts for my office. I seldom buy donuts so I didn’t know where to go. I came to this place based on the number of stars it has. Before the lady working behind the counter started boxing my purchase, she told me it was cash only. I was confused because there is a sign that says credit and debit cards have a $.50 charge, so I questioned her on it. She told me no, it’s cash only. The man making the donuts said they don’t have a card reader so I took my business elsewhere.

I thought the glazed donuts were good. Sprinkle donut was ok. I’m kind of a snob when it comes to sprinkle donuts though.
Impressed that they take credit/​debit. I think $.75 charge.
I was more impressed at how friendly the owner was and how much pride he took in his business. I love to see that! Hopefully, I can convince my grandfather to try out this place; he lives in the area and frequently goes to the donut shop.

If you say you’re going to be open at 3am you should be open at 3am. Keep to your word. Expected them to be open with fresh donuts but much to my dismay nope they weren’t. It was around 3:30am and I could see the man frantically making donuts. The donuts today will probably won’t be as good as the other days since he’s so hectic and chaotic. Maybe I’ll come back during a decent hour. I suppose 3:30am is way too early for them.

Wow. Just wow. This donut spot makes donuts the way they used to be made. Their commitment to quality, and their freshness is a real breath of fresh air in an industry that has been corrupted by mixes and bad products. My only lament is the chocolate they use isn’t the best. The flavor is a little bland, but this is a SMALL gripe. The Tiger tale, and the crumb donuts are beyond exceptional. In a world of below average donuts, Goody’s really stands out.

This donut shop has been here since I could even remember! Growing up in Cerritos, every store in this plaza has been replaced except this donut shop. They don’t stay open all day, but if u come here early enough they r known for those bomb ass tiger tails! Too addicting! I’m not a donut feen or a donut lover, but when I think of donuts this place comes to mind. This donut is long in its size and delicious as they come. My hubby’s family use to own a donut shop and my hubby was sick of donuts but when he tried the tiger tails, he had nothing but good compliments and head nods! lol. Try them you won’t regret it!

Stopped by this morning on my way to my moms house. Went by the good review and oh my they deserve more than 5 stars! These donuts are great to die for. Super soft and sweet but not overly sweat, milk chocolate bars taste so good, the chocolate tastes so legit not artificial like other places. Great quality of donuts and glazes. First time I see a donut shop exhibiting how the they make the donuts
Employees have great customer

TIGER“S TAILS AND BIG FOOT
To actually visit the Tiger’s Tail and Big Foot in person in Cerritos is a perfect way to conclude our eating expedition. Of course we took a few of them with us back to our hotel and eventually shared them with friends in Fullerton. This morning we ate a powder covered custard filled cake donut which was truly a heavenly delight in every sense of the word.
Thanks Dawn F for the wonderful suggestion.

Hands down BEST donuts I’ve ever had ANYWHERE. Period. Chewy fluffy goodness. Melt in your mouth insanely delicious. Freshly made every morning.
The owner is also very sweet.

We love this place! We just happened to be driving back from Knott’s Berryfarm and we were looking for a quick snack… we Unilocaled and found this AMAZING place! From the outside it doesn’t look like much. It is in a strip mall, with plenty of parking. We walked in and the place is definitely older, but that gives it so much character! There are old lamps hanging from the ceiling and an assortment of mismatched chairs at old tables. We were immediately smiling when we saw what we walked into, lol. They even used an old cash register with the keys that come up like a typewriter, and then spits out a never ending receipt listing all orders for the day :)
The SERVICE and the DONUTS are MIND BLOWING! The guy behind the counter, and I wish I had gotten his name, was so friendly! When he found out it was our first time, he gave us the infamous Tiger Tail dounut to try. It was excellent. We also got a few other donuts and they were amazing as well!
I highly recommend this place and because of the service we received and the amazing quality of the donuts we ate. The donuts were fresh and the employees was so happy to provide such a happy experience for us. You just become happy when you are here, lol. This place will always hold a spot in our minds as one of the best donut shops we’ve ever been too. We will be back!

Two words… TIGER TAILS!
I live within walking distance, if you are ever in the area around 3am, I highly recommend going, you won’t be disappointed.

Unilocalers let me down on this one. We love getting donuts in Cali. Went here only because Unilocal gave it a high rating. First off when we went in the guy was sleeping on counter. The other guy tried to wake him up but he didn’t budge. Thought it was funny but someone else might have been offended. The donuts didn’t look as fresh or as fluffy as we usually see. The kids didn’t like there’s, although my wife said she liked the long john.

Their donuts aren’t basic. They taste fresh and full of love. Try a tiger tail. Be careful you might get hooked. I’m a donut person and their tiger tails are my all time favorite donut. I’ve been eating their donuts since I was younger because it’s a family favorite. I remember the day of my high school senior prom the only thing I ate all day before actual prom night was half a tiger tail that my parents had brought home.
The owners of Goody’s are kind and hardworking. Some mornings you can see them making the donuts right over the counter. One afternoon I walked in and bought 1 donut and it must have been right before closing time because the man let me pick a donut to take home on the house. It just sucks that their hours are limited to super early in the morning and before the afternoon. I guess we can’t have it all.
