Wow, such a friendly service, amazing selection of baked goods, treats and drinks. This is the place to go if you are waiting for the Catalina Flyer ferry as the ferry is right in front of the shop. We enjoyed the egg 🥐 and 🍩

Good place for a great coffee and delicious doughnuts, ice cream and other treats! All the baking is done in-house, daily. Lots of beverage options, including juices and such. They even have a variety of other convenience/drugstore items.

Staff are very friendly and keep the place well. There are a number of tables to eat in, unless you want to enjoy a nice stroll along the water.

We'll be very happy to visit again.

Nothing but syrup addings, Coffee is nasty, crescents taste wired or maybe just chip ingredients and Fly's flying and sitting on Donats, that is disgusting. I wouldn't recommend this place.

I asked for a caramel frappe that didn't taste anything caramel, just coffee and there was no caramel on top of whip cream like the picture. I asked for more caramel and they said that they already put caramel, and so I repeated that it didn't tasted like caramel. In result, they put more caramel in top but it didn't taste the best in the end.

Food was good, but, geeze, the price! two drinks and two breakfast items somehow came out to ~$50 all told after tip. You could say 15% tip is inappropriate in a donut place, and you might be right, but they have the machine prompting it, so ?‍♂️.

Dietary restrictions: they did dairy/gluten free solid.

Parking: there's a few lots. Seems like it varies by season and time of day.

Kid-friendliness: they had kid's gambling games and sweets

Wheelchair accessibility: looked good

Went on a busy Friday night (12/15) for a snack before getting in a boat tour. Ordered onion rings, French fries and a Thai Ice tea. The order took ~ 20 min and when asked for more ketchup, the person said "you already have some' there were two packets in the bag and we wanted more. When asked again, the person again said 'you have some'. No napkins were in the bag. And instead of getting a Thai iced tea, we were given a Chai iced tea. The food was hot and tasted ok, and the tea was good, but not what we ordered. The service was unbelievable- especially at such a popular location. Hopefully just a bad night. However, we will not be returning.

5 stars all the way, as a frequent visitor to Huntington Beach and the surrounding area, this is my favorite spot to grab breakfast by the beach and Whale watching tours. Egg and Cheese Croissants are my go to but the vast amount of variety and flavor here is nothing to pass up. Make it a destination during your next visit to Cali.

They have everything!So many options and everything is fresh! We made sure to come by this location multiple times while we were walking the boardwalk.

Expected better tasting and fuller filled donuts. Do better for the price, or knock down a buck
