29 Best Donuts near Rancho Santa Margarita

“What an amazing place that opened so early as the night owl myself, it's much really appreciated. It means a lot to get coffee and donuts at a time that I enjoy. And such great people who listen Thank You mister young
You guys are the best.“

“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😄!“

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

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

“I cannot say enough great things about this bakery. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with a warm, welcoming atmosphere that immediately sets it apart. The shop is always clean, inviting, and filled with the irresistible aroma of freshly made donuts and baked goods.
What truly makes this place exceptional, however, is the ownership. The owners are consistently kind, polite, and genuinely dedicated to their customers. They go above and beyond to ensure that everything is fresh, perfectly prepared, and presented with care. You can tell they take great pride in what they do, and it shows in every detail.
Every visit has been a fantastic experience, and the quality never disappoints. Whether you’re stopping by for a quick treat or bringing something special home, you can always count on top-tier products and outstanding service.
This bakery has easily become my number one go-to spot, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for delicious donuts and a truly welcoming experience. It’s an absolute must-try.“

“Came here a few weeks ago with my little one, was purchasing a couple of donuts, a bottle of milk and a can of Coke. I didn’t realize they didn’t accept Discover cards, only Visa and Mastercard if I’m not mistaken. Long story short, my card declined and a sweet, older woman working that morning said I could leave my name and number and take my items, so long as I came back and paid what I owed. Of course I went back during my lunch break that very same day to get some cash and headed straight to the donut shop to pay my total. The kind lady didn’t have to do that, she could’ve just said “sorry, come back next time”, but she saw my babygirl with me and said she couldn’t let us leave without our treats ❤‍🩹 thank you so much for your trust and generosity. I so wish I would’ve asked for her name. Everyone and anyone in the Mission Viejo area, do yourself a favor and support this amazing local business 💕 Will keep coming back every week 🫶🏼“

“Small cafe with a few table but crowded to place your order next to the donut case. Donuts were fresh and flavorful. The staff were friendly and accommodating however the breakfast burrito was not the best - lack of egg and needing a crispy element. The breakfast taco was really good though - potato and bacon (crispy) instead of egg.“

“
A must-visit spot with a great variety of donuts and croissants. Everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. The Ham and cheese croissant reminds me of seaside’s version without the crazy wait!

Relaxing and comfortable for a quick sit-down, whether you’re grabbing a treat or taking a short break.“

“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!“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“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!“

“Bought my mum a voucher for here last Christmas and she's redeemed it three times since. She raves about it every time. Says the staff are kind, the food is proper, and the prices are fair. That's basically a five-star review from her. We're going together next month. Lovely place clearly.“

“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!“

“Hidden gem! The staff at Forest Cafe was so kind, attentive, and accommodating. I have a pork allergy and they went out of their way to make sure my meal was safe, which I really appreciated.

I had the enchiladas and was honestly pleasantly surprised. I’m super picky with Mexican food because I can make it at home, but every single bite was delicious and full of flavor! My friend ordered the huevos rancheros and said they were exceptional as well.

It’s a clean, small family-owned place with such a welcoming atmosphere. You can really tell they care about their customers and the quality of their food. Definitely going back!“

“I bought a box of filled crossiants - chocolate, strawberry and cream cheese, blueberry and cream cheese, and cream cheese as an early morning treat for my moving men. They were fantastic and everybody raved about how good they were. Wish I lived closer to this shop as I'd buy these again and again!“

“Pastrami fries were so darn good.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“
