“Absolutely love Parlor Doughnuts! Everything tastes incredibly fresh, like it’s truly made daily. The icing is perfect—not overly sweet, just the right balance. You can tell a lot of care goes into every bite. On top of that, the people there are always so friendly and welcoming. Definitely a go-to spot for amazing doughnuts! Oh be sure to download their app!“

“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. 🤯“

“This is a true gem in San Clemente. Staff is so friendly, amazing coffee drinks and the pastries are to die for! Fluffy, sweet donuts with toppings like bacon and cereal. Even a donut the size of your head, if you're feeling adventurous😁They have the best breakfast sandwiches I've ever had. Fresh ingredients. Definitely my favorite breakfast stop, I highly recommend🩷“

“Royal Donuts in Mission Viejo is one of those classic local donut shops that reminds you why small neighborhood spots still beat the big chains. From the moment you walk in, the smell of fresh donuts hits you and you can tell right away that things are being made properly, not just shipped in frozen and reheated like some of the larger franchise places.

The selection is excellent. You have all the classics you expect like glazed, chocolate frosted, maple bars, old fashioned, and jelly filled, but everything tastes noticeably fresher than the average donut shop. The glazed donuts have that perfect light texture where the outside has just enough sweetness without being overwhelming, and the inside stays soft and fluffy. The maple bars are especially good and are generously sized. One donut can honestly hold you over for quite a while.

Another thing I noticed is the consistency. A lot of donut shops are good early in the morning but fall off later in the day. Royal Donuts seems to keep a solid rotation going so you are not getting something that has been sitting around for hours. The donuts still taste fresh even later in the morning.

The staff has always been friendly and quick, even when there is a small line. They move people through efficiently without making you feel rushed. The shop itself is clean, simple, and exactly what you want from a neighborhood donut place. Nothing fancy, just good donuts done right.

Prices are also very reasonable compared to a lot of places now charging premium prices for basic donuts. Here you still feel like you are getting great value for what you pay.

If you live anywhere around Mission Viejo, this is definitely one of those local spots worth supporting. Great donuts, friendly service, and consistently fresh quality. Exactly what a neighborhood donut shop should be.“

“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 pastries. Sometimes they run out of certain selections later in the day. And can be fairly warm inside, especially during the summers. They have done special requests for birthday donuts, they never let down and I was very impressed. Nice family owned place. Thank you oum and ming.“

“This is the BEST donut store around!
The people here are very friendly & welcoming. All the donuts they make are SO DELICIOUS.
We have been to many donut places in SoCal but, this one is our favorite.
The chocolate covered old fashioned, the jelly, the Boston cream, the glazed, are delightful any time of day!“

“Omg! Their breakfast burrito is amazing. Came to kaiser for a doc app and was looking for donuts. Well, I now found my new breakfast burrito place. First bite melted in my mouth. The eggs are fluffy and have a great flavor. The tortilla is soft. Im not one for cheese on my food. But the cheese they use is also soft and melts right into the burrito. The salsa is a must to add onto before a bit. My new spot when I’m in the area 😍“

“Very delicious donuts!
We were craving donuts and ended up stopping here right before closing. I used to come here as a kid and the donuts have always been delicious!
The owner was soooo kind and gave us a few extra donuts. We ate a lot of them in the car because they were so tasty. Definitely recommend! We will come back the next time we are in the US! Thank you!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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😄!“

“Pastrami fries were so darn good.“

“The Lox bagel sandwich is so good 😋💕 and the blueberry donuts are amazing! Also service is always 102038829191% amazing.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“So sad today was their last day, the owners retired and I'm not sure if there will be new management or not, but ever since moving into a home nearby in 2023, my daughter and I have have become a big fan!

Their donuts have the best soft texture, their vietnamese coffee is Lee's sandwiches concentrate which is my favorite as well, and their brewed drip hot coffee is always fresh. The owners are very nice and always greet you when you walk in. I've visited them at least once a week every other week. Wishing them the best in their retirement!(:“

“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.“

“The Viejo bagel is one of my favorites! Good donuts! The blended mocha is excellent!“

“Chinese food not bad. Orange chicken was ok, fried rice good, and chow mein not good. I think at certain times of the day the food is good, and sometimes meh. Over all give it a try. Good place for chips, gum, and energy drinks, and doughnuts..“

“I went there to get a donut for my son's bday. The lady over there gave me hole donuts free. I didn't expect that but just doing little thing makes you feel more welcoming and comfortable. I love their donuts and the warm atmosphere that they have. Highly recommended“

“Donuts are good. The staff is super friendly and nice. They have tamales and champurrado which I have tried and must say is pretty good. Have been here several times and will keep coming as long as the service stays the same. Happy customer.“

“This is DEFINITELY the hidden South Orange County gem that the true locals around here know all about! Very friendly service. Donuts are great but their sandwiches are EXCELLENT. My tip: Always go with their longest length sandwich. I go with either pastrami, egg, or veggie sandwich -depending on the mood and always with everything on it. You get to choose a donut -I always go with plain, maple bar, chocolate cake, or chocolate frosted donut. Lastly you get a drink -I recommend the unsweetened ice tea. Why? Bc the dessert was the donut... No need to sugar your way up with anything moreGo here: Trust me you won't be disappointed“

“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!“

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

“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!“

“A great place with amazing food that never disappoints! Their service is outstanding, they do whatever it takes to make sure me and my guests get the best breakfast burritos in town. It is the unofficial Sunday burrito provider for our Angels entertainment team!“

“Omg! Their breakfast burrito is amazing. Came to kaiser for a doc app and was looking for donuts. Well, I now found my new breakfast burrito place. First bite melted in my mouth.

“The best breakfast burrito and sandwich of my life. Linda’s knows how to be generous with their portions and make a hearty breakfast. I love this place, ever since I discovered it I’ve been telling all my friends and family. Their doughnuts are always so fresh and taste better than anywhere else and they have cute designs and variety of flavors. Their orange juice is actually hand squeezed unlike other places that say it is but really isn’t. I couldn’t rave about this place more really.“

“I got a 3 leches cake this past Saturday (9/13) and let me tell you the flavor was amazing. I haven’t had a delicious and moist 3 leches cake in a long time. We would usually buy it from el Molino across the street but the past years their cakes have been super dry! It has nothing of 3 leches,
I was at the plaza where Efren’s bakery is and saw on a facebook group recommending this bakery so decided to try it out, didn’t disappoint! Our guests loved the cake as well! We devoured it!
Will definitely be coming back for more cake and try also their pan dulce!!“

“Love this Dunkin' location! Picked up coffee and munchkins for the office this morning and the $8 meal deal for me. Everything was delicious and my coffee was filled right to the top. The gentleman working the walk-up window was very kind and put a smile on my face!“

“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.“

“The staff was extremely friendly, and the food was great for the price. The breakfast sandwich in particular (sausage, egg, and cheese croissant) was hot and filling. Come earlier in the morning (I came before 8:00a) to avoid lines, as the lines for this shop expand massively as people start to visit before work and/or class.“
