31 Best Donuts near San Juan Capistrano

“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. 🤯“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“The sweetest donut shop, with the hardest working employees. It's my favorite place to grab my donuts. Every event I bring them to, everybody asks me where I got them. The owner is so personable and remembers me every time. I've never left disappointed. Also, their ham and cheese and turkey and cheese croissants are a MUST. Absolutely love this place, cannot reccomend it enough.“

“Once you get donuts… or a breakfast sandwich… or a fritter… or…. Well you get the point…. You will be ruined to ever enjoy any other shop like it, it is that good. I don’t live in the area but visit multiple times a year, and I literally can’t wait to get to Rose’s every time I arrive. I truly love this place and would pay millions, if I had it, to move it to where I live! My kids have actually said, when are we going back to San Clemente so we can go to Rose’s???“

“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!“

“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.“

“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...“

“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).“

“The best restaurant in Mission Viejo and don’t forget all the yummy donuts. Everything is delicious and excellent menu. Staff is very friendly.“

“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.“

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

“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****“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“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!“

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

“Pastrami fries were so darn good.“

“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!“

“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.“
