I had the exact experience of Mike on here. She just added donuts we didnt buy to our transaction. I felt it was intentional. When I asked for my receipt she immediately said “oh here’s a free donut for you.” My family enjoyed the donuts but I don’t ever appreciate being charged for something sneakily we didn’t buy. My husband left a tip too. So we paid $32 for 5 donuts/croissant and a coke. Not cool to me!

Niguel Bakery & Donuts isn’t just a donut shop — it’s a neighborhood living room with coffee.
Right away, I have to say this: the Boar’s Head deli meats here are the real sleeper hit. I recently had their Boar’s Head ham and cheese on sourdough with lettuce, tomato, and pickles, and I honestly can’t describe how soft and perfectly balanced that sandwich was. Simple, fresh, and done right — exactly what a great neighborhood deli should be.
And yes, the donuts absolutely hold their own. The chocolate cronut is dangerously good, the glazed old fashioned is a classic, and their cake donuts are consistently on point. My wife’s go-to is the American Mexi-Cal breakfast burrito — huge portion, buttery crispy potatoes, soft chewy tortilla, and an incredible value for the size.
But what truly sets this place apart is the people.
Our kids have practically grown up here. Dave and Dani have known them from the womb, to infants, to toddlers, and now as regulars at 2 and 7 years old. This is the kind of place where locals sit for hours talking, laughing, and catching up over coffee like the old days.
I grew up in a small town on the East Coast in my mom’s deli, where community happened over coffee and conversation. Living on the West Coast without family nearby, this place gives me that same feeling of home. Dave and Dani treat everyone like family — and Dave especially has a soft spot for kids, often surprising mine with little toys like the big kid he is.
This is a true mom-and-pop bakery and deli that supports the community, shows up for local nonprofits, and genuinely cares. If you’re looking for more than just good food — if you want warmth, generosity, and a place that feels like home — this is it.

Amazing service, amazing food, and AMAZING vibes!! As if the food isnt already a huge reason to go here, the staff themselves are sooooo sweet - especially Tina ! <3 She is such a sweetheart and makes you feel like the shop is a second home. The doughnut holes are so fluffy and yummy, the shop decorations are adorable, and you can always expect a smile :]

If you're in Laguna Niguel and craving the perfect doughnut, this hidden gem is where you need to be.
Their doughnuts are always incredibly fresh, perfectly doughy. Whether you're in the mood for a classic chocolate glazed or something new, every bite is pure bliss. Also their freshly brewed coffee is my favorite - rich, smooth, and pairs perfectly with your doughnut.
They’re also well-known for their catering, making them the ideal choice for events, meetings, or parties. If you want to impress your guests with the best doughnuts and coffee in town, this is the place to call.
Start your weekend morning here, you won’t be disappointed.

Awesome donut spot! Super friendly and delicious donuts. I needed a certain style of donut for a party and they were able to make it happen on the spot. Thank you!
