23 Best Donuts near Dana Point

“It’s rare to find a place that makes good yeast and cake donuts, but they were both delicious here. I knew when I picked up the glazed donut—lighter than I expected, and it did not disappoint! The orange glazed cake donut was bright and citrusy, and the blueberry was tender and flavorful. We also ordered a burrito and the Denver omelet. Burrito was quite large, although the sausage was breakfast links, not crumbled.“

“Nikki's has the best machaca burritos around. I get them all the time. They are HUGE and so delicious!“

“I’m from SC. I wanted to surf fish while here and brought a rod/reel with me on the plane. I’m here for 5 days total. On day 1 I wanted to try a local doughnut. I saw they had gluten free. I don’t need it but my kids do. I bought some from a dude in a flannel shirt. I thought it weird, but it’s California so whatever. I got them back to the place we were staying and we all sampled about six different doughnuts. 🤯 OH MY GOODNESS!!!!! I’m a Krispy Kreme lifer but DANG THESE ARE GOOD. Today I went back and bought 6 more. These are expensive so there went my fishing budget but it’s worth it because my kids and enlaws loved it. My father enlaw said the maple bacon should be illegal it’s so good. Listen there are a lot of choices here but if you are going to try just 1 or several this should be your first stop and if like me it will be the only one you need. I’m not big on California, sorry, but the only thing better than the weather and scenery are these incredible doughnuts. 🤯“

“By far the most welcoming staff out of any restaurant I have gone to. I've only been going for about a week now and my favorite guy up front already remembers little personal details that I tell him. The coffee and food is great as well, I recommend the ultimate breakfast sandwich on a croissant. I am genuinely upset that it took so long for me to start coming here.“

“Amazing donuts as well as the woman who served me. Getting to know San Clemente I came across this great place close to the beach. I like areas better when they have places like this with such nice, friendly customer service as well as totally delicious donuts; now I like San Clemente even more!“

“Great customer service! Great location! Yummy donuts!“

“This is one of THE BEST bakery and donut places I’ve ever been to in my life. The ingredients actually taste REAL, and the sizes of everything is a great value for the cost. Usually I can eat a lot, but just the number 4 croissant sandwich had me filled for the whole day! We got a total of 3 sandwiches, 3 donuts and 2 croissants and none of us could finish them. They were all delicious and I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“A very interesting combination of doughnuts and burgers, but it works.

The burgers and fries are delicious.

If there is a compliant it's that the fries don't come salt-free.

But otherwise, it was a great meal that I would highly recommend.“

“The best restaurant in Mission Viejo and don’t forget all the yummy donuts. Everything is delicious and excellent menu. Staff is very friendly.“

“Great donuts and kind employees. When I go here, it's usually at 5am right when they open and I pick up a dozen donuts, some muffins, and often a ham and cheese croissant. The donuts are always fresh and still coming out, and the croissants are fresh and hot. Their old fashion glaze, old fashion maple, and powdered cake donuts are my favorites 👍. Also really like the fat free bran muffin😄!“

“Stopped in to this shop and everything was delicious! Great variety of donuts, burritos were delicious! Staff was kind and helpful. 5 Stars definitely recommend this place.“

“Pleasant and welcoming atmosphere. The owner was kind enough to come outside and take a photo for me and a business associate. I would go there again and highly recommend it.“

“I don't know if it is just me, but the donuts could have been a little more moist throughout. I don't know if that's freshness (I saw they had some that were seemingly made looking like they were taken off the cooking oven) or what should be done to make it so, but that was my experience.“

“Please come here and try the Salvadoran food. Service was great and the donuts were good but the real reason to come here is the other food items available.
We tried the jalapeno and cheese and the mixed meat pupusa's and they were fantastic. We also had the fried plantains with beans and sour cream which was delicious. Had fries and a Salvadoran pork tamale as well.
Highly recommend this gem.“

“Workers (owners?) are so sweet and i’ve never had any issues with anything i’ve gotten here. Baked goods always taste good and the fresh orange juice is soooo good definitely a great local place especially after the bakery by the winery and deli closed a while back“

“waited about 10 mins for a donut which felt a bit long but the moment I bit into the glazed one I knew it was worth it. its light and airy and not too sweet, just perfect. teh maple bacon one is also really good if you like that salty sweet combo. definately going back next weekend“

“I went in this morning and ordered the signature burrito with no ham, cashier was friendly. It was ready quickly and tasted fresh and delicious with a side of green salsa I will return here soon, for another breakfast burrito. They have a very wide selection of donuts and drinks to choose from.“

“I’ve been going to Kelly’s for 20 years now, always good food, coffee and service.

Parking: Free parking in shopping center and directly in front of Kelly’s.

Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly

Wheelchair accessibility: Wheel chair accessible“

“Some of the best donuts in OC! I’m very particular about the dough used in donuts and personally their donuts are delicious and have an indescribable and unique texture! You definitely get your $ worth with the size of the donuts. The atmosphere is great if you want to chill and relax, and the staff are all attentive and friendly.“

“It’s my daughter’s birthday today. Thank you for the birthday treat - free dozen of donuts. She is super excited! She loves Krispy Kreme!“

“I got a sausage egg and cheese croissant with avacado and it was probably the BEST I have had in my life! I got a choco and a glazed donut as well. Pretty good but nothing special. The lady working was very nice and engaged in convo. I’ll be back!“

“This place is all about getting your dopamine going. Bright colors, lots of sugar. Service is quick, and the $6 meal deal includes a small breakfast taco, some hash brown nuggets, and a coffee. Portions are small and left me a bit unsatisfied. Wifi and outlets at every table is a bonus.“
