Local Business Highlight: Moonbridge Doughnuts

by Sally Lee

Introducing Moonbridge Doughnut Studio, a delightful new addition to Long Beach's culinary scene where indulgence meets healing. Named after the reflection a bridge casts on the water during a moonlit night, Moonbridge visually becomes a full circle. Not only does this take on the playful shape of a doughnut, but for co-owners Anabelle Brown and Kim Gros, the moonbridge symbolizes closure and new beginnings. After experiencing heartbreaking loss in both of their families, this venture represents a journey from grief to hope, making every doughnut baked and served a symbol of remembrance and renewal.

Stepping into Moonbridge Doughnut Studio is like entering a whimsical dreamland where every detail is carefully crafted to bring out joy and wonder. With Anabele's artistic vision and the expertise of Clay Co, the interior design blends sophistication with playfulness, reminiscent of a scene from a Wes Anderson film. It's a space where customers can escape the mundane and embrace the preciousness of life, surrounded by vibrant colors and delightful treats.

But Moonbridge Doughnut Studio isn't just about satisfying your sweet tooth in a warmhearted environment; it's also a space where innovation thrives. The coffee program, steered by Steven Ramon, offers elevated beverages made with craft coffee sourced from Stereoscope. Each sip tells a story of creative playfulness, from certain flavor combinations to thoughtful garnishes. And with menu items like the Campfire Pancake Doughnut, the team pushes the boundaries of a traditional doughnut, inviting customers to embark on a journey where every bite is a delightful surprise. Moonbridge Doughnut Studio doesn't simply churn out pastries; it shines as a light of hope, creativity, and community spirit in Long Beach.
