28 Best Donuts near Rancho Santa Margarita

“Good, simple pastries and drinks. Open early, respectful service. The place reminds me of the kind of doughnut shop I have fond childhood memories of. No frills, clean, and consistent. The kind of shop that makes a community feel personal. No superficial smiles or trend pandering, just good business.

Kid-friendliness: Plenty of kid-oriented doughnut options“

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

“Whoever the young man is with curly hair and wears a hat is….. he made my visit special. His customer service is the best in the area hands down. He is so young but his passion towards a customer at a simple donut shop is insane. I’ll come back here just because of the service he gave me and thats it. I make my own coffee at home and dont care to come out and eat a donut probably once every 3 months but because of him I wont feel bad to stop by. Great employees the owner should be proud!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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😄!“

“Wonderfully delicious and giant donuts for a cheap price. Nice employees. BUT, I don't like that they at least once went with the trend of more expensive and smaller. For example, there was an absolutely amazing cinnamon roll for $1, and it was literally the size of my head, but they made it half the size and 2-3x more expensive... This is the biggest example of what I said. Also, the shop closes way before 3:00 and you have to wake up really early or you can't make it before it closes...“

“I have been on a kick to go out of my way to support small businesses. I’ve driven by Royal Donuts and Burger when I drive my teenage daughter to/fro work on the weekends, but have never stopped by. Today, I decided to take her and my two other kids there to lunch after I picked her up from work.

It was easy to find a parking spot. I noticed two other cars in their drive thru while we walked up to the store. We ordered the Royal Burger pound burger with all of the fixings (lettuce, tomato, onion, mayo or ketchup), french fries, a 16 oz drink and your choice of either a cake or glazed donut. You can also make it a cheeseburger or a double cheeseburger. I got mine with cheese, one kid got one with ketchup only, and another kid chose a double cheeseburger with Swiss cheese and mayo and ketchup only. I asked if they could grill the onions for my burger and they said yes. We were there later in the afternoon, so we chose 2 glazed donuts and 1 chocolate cake donut from what was available. We ordered two Cokes from the fountain dispenser, an iced coffee (for an up charge with the combo) and also grabbed two chocolate milks from the self serve beverage coolers.

I was really impressed with the variety in the beverage cooler! I took a picture to post with my review.

We waited a short amount of time for our food. Maybe 5-10 minutes? It was really quick. And very delicious! The hamburgers are in sesame seed buns and remind you what a 1/4 pound burger should look like. The French fries were steak cut and perfectly salted and hot! For the price you pay, the combo was definitely worth it! The donuts were tasty, and a great dessert after the meal.

I’m definitely coming back to try their other products. They accept cash and card. I think there is a minimum of $6 to use a card, but no additional surcharge like other places.“

“Update: Yep the pupusas still rock here! Had to stop in for a quick fix.

Hidden gem! This is a great place to grab donuts or papusas. Absolutely fantastic. I can get my fill of authentic pupusas while the kids can get really good donuts. Plus the service here is really good. Always so nice and friendly. Oh and if haven't tried pupusas you should. Personally I like the queso y revueltas. Cover them with cortido (it's not coleslaw) and salsa.“

“Pastrami fries were so darn good.“

“Great donuts at understandable prices. We went on a busy Friday morning, and the person behind the counter was fast, friendly, and efficient. I did have to go back inside because I didn't get any napkins, and they aren't out on the counter to just grab, but she handed me a nice handful. The donuts look and taste amazing. And they have a decent selection of beverages available. In my pictures, you can see the current menu prices (as of February 2022).“

“Absolutely love Royal Pastries & Doughnuts! Every item I’ve tried has been fresh, delicious, and beautifully made. The doughnuts are perfectly soft and not overly sweet, and the pastries taste like they’re straight out of a European bakery. The staff is always warm and welcoming, and the whole place has a charming, cozy vibe. This has quickly become my go-to spot for a sweet treat and coffee. Highly recommended!“

“Excellent donuts! Went to 4 donut places trying to find a perfect maple donut for my wife. Donut World was the best quality, taste, and fluffiness even compared to the "gourmet" donut places that charge 5 times more for lesser quality.“

“The best thing about this place is that it opens super early before anything else is available, before 7am. There is a big donut selection, and also a decent selection of savory breakfast items. Food was fine. Service was fine. There is plenty of parking in the morning.“

“I work walking distance and I have been waiting to check this place out. Thought the price was a bit pricey but the burrito was delicious! I didn't know it came with the tomato breakfast salsa (idk what you call it). I usually hate it but this was the best ine I have ever had. #17 no hash browns****“

“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“

“My husband brought up really wishing he had a croissant this morning. His thought became my thought and I found this place near my office. I got a HUGE croissant and some donut holes. The donut holes were soft and pillows, melt in your mouth. So good. And the croissant hit the spot perfectly with my cup of coffee. I'll be back.“

“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!“

“Pastrami fries were so darn good.“

“Had a pretty large order for my daughter’s wedding. They were very helpful and friendly when ordering. Customer service is A+. Bakery items were delicious and fresh and a very large variety to choose from. They sent us home with the most delicious bread, and when I returned to pay the remainder of the bill they sent me off with cookies. I highly recommend using this bakery, you don’t experience this kind of service these days.“

“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 took my special needs daughter to Linda’s for a daddy daughter breakfast date and I was blown away. They embraced my daughter as if she was their own. It was an amazing experience. The sausage egg and cheese breakfast sandwich was amazing and the donuts were great. Thank you to leeka and the rest of the ladies working. You ladies made our day. For an autism Dad a little kindness goes a long way.“

“Great time.......especially for 5:00 am. I couldn't miss your Grand Opening! Amazing Pumpkin Swirl Coffee & Lattes too! Pumpkin Muffins, Donuts & Carmel Apple Croissant Donuts were a big hit at home!! See you soon!“

“5 stars service from Hailey! I stopped by Dunkin’ planning to just grab a coffee, but when I opened the mobile app, I noticed a $3 medium refresher offer. I wasn’t sure how to use the coupon on the app, but Hailey was so kind and patient in explaining the app interface and even helped me complete the order at the counter. Such warm and helpful service really made my day—thank you, Hailey!“

“This Dunkin location is amazing!! Their weekday morning crew is so friendly when taking drive-thru orders, and the food/drinks always come our really fast.Side note: their fall seasonal Apple Crisp refresher with green tea was the most amazing drink of all time, I hope they make it a regular refresher flavor.“
