Other Best Donuts on Beach Blvd
Mark M.

This review covers two donut shops, Best Donuts in Stanton, and Best Donuts in Stanton. The main one I want to address is Best Donuts (https://bit.ly/3cOo6bg), located at 8504 Chapman Ave, near the intersection of Chapman and Dale. This location is family-owned and has been around for more than 13 years. The second Best Donuts (https://bit.ly/3g5AFAS) is located at 12505 Beach Blvd, near the intersection of Beach Blvd and Lampson. This second store is owned by a different owner, looks newer, and has been around at least 12 years. Why do I mention all this? That's because the Yelp entry for the Beach Blvd location has had no reviews since Dec 2017, while the Chapman Ave location (the one you're reading right now) contains lots of reviews from both places. Reviews for the Chapman Ave location should be contained at: https://www.yelp.com/biz/best-donuts-stanton-3 Reviews for the Beach Blvd location should be contained at: https://www.yelp.com/biz/best-donuts-stanton-2 (Note: As I write this, the Beach Blvd location has no reviews since Dec 2017.) The Best Donuts, at Chapman and Dale, is small and looks like its been there a lot of years. Inside, there is a donut counter with a decent number of fresh-looking donut types (https://bit.ly/2LIgLxV). Menus offer croissant and bagel sandwiches (https://bit.ly/3cNKP7n), as well as tamales (https://bit.ly/2ZiBq3K). I ordered a Croissant with Ham, Egg, and Cheese (https://bit.ly/3cMARTP). I was offered additional toppings of jalapeño, lettuce, tomato, onions, and mayonnaise. A nice morning sandwich. For later consumption, I also got a Bear Claw (https://bit.ly/2ymZOpW) and Apple Fritter. Both excellent. They do an excellent job here with virus protection measures. There is a full-length plastic barrier across the back of the store, and both ladies working here were wearing masks as well as plastic face shields. The ladies are very friendly, and other customers seemed to have a nice personal relationship with them. Now onto the second Best Donuts, at Beach Blvd and Lampson. It's a newer store, with slightly more display space. The Croissant with Ham, Egg, and Cheese I had here was good, I would probably order it again. Virus protection efforts at the Beach Blvd location were rather casual. There is only a short sneeze guard near the cash register, and the gal working here wasn't wearing a mask (contrary to current OC safety requirements). ADDENDUM: I discovered that the other Best Donuts on Beach Blvd was listed as "Closed", and consequently didn't show up on Yelp searches. I have requested the Yelp admins to list the other one as "Open". I don't why someone, sometime in the past, reported it as closed, but that was probably the source of confusion between the two stores. (As of 5/21/2020, both stores now appear in a Yelp search.)

Colombian/French roast, and creamer.
Dan J.

Looking for a near by place that had coffee, they had several roasts to choose from, plenty of creamers. Very friendly and welcoming staff, made sure I was taken care of. The coffee was just the right amount of favor, tried the Colombian and French roast, none of it tasted watered down like some places. If I need a cup of coffee, I will definitely come back.

I stopped to have donuts and coffee at Best Donuts in Stanton. It was becoming a nice sunny day and I needed a little snack. The cashier was nice and friendly. She was very helpful explaining the breakfast type of donuts they had. I ordered and paid on the front counter. Then they called my name when my order was ready. I has; Breakfast egg, cheese and bacon croissant; It was a large, hot and very tasty meal. I had ordered a large coffee in which I added cream & sugar. Delish! For my desert: Raspberry Roll; Two long raspberry rolls that I enjoyed with my hot coffee. I thanked them for allowing me to take some photos. Then I drove off to find my next review. Robert H.

Great place!! Lovely lady who runs the place, real neighborhood feel and great prices! They make some other items besides donuts and they are all really good! I was lucky enough to try some hot wings that were made there and they were magnificent I don't know why yelp wants to take more than this but I guess I love this place. No cap!

Danielle S.

I had to pick up some donuts to take to work for a coworker's birthday, so I stopped by here since it was on my way to work. It was early so there were lot's of parking spots and the shop was nearly empty. The cashier was ready to help me when I came in, and when I asked her for a dozen donuts she gave me the option to have her pick them. I let her pick the donuts, which turned out to be a bit of a mistake because she didn't provide me with much variety, but that is my only complaint. Place was clean, donuts were good, and the place took debit/credit card (for an additional 50 cent charge)! I'll come back if I'm picking up donuts for work again, but I will choose the dozen myself.

Mmmm... Apple fritter
John J.

Apple fritter was amazing as was the ham and cheese croissant. Friendly service. Clean inside with a pretty good variety

Pork tamale - bomb
Christine L.

I work close by here but never thought to get some breakfast here. The place itself is pretty small with a few seats inside. It was nice and warm inside on a rainy day. I ordered a ham and cheese croissant and a medium vanilla cappuccino. To my surprise, they also have tamales! I'm a sucker for a good tamale so of course I got one of each. They have a shredded pork with red salsa and a shredded chicken with green salsa. Let me tell you, these tamales are heavenly. They're not dry at all. The pork one is definitely the front runner. It was so flavorful, I didn't even need more salsa. I did add a dollop of sour cream when I got home, and that completely made it better. The ham and cheese was average. The cappuccino was sweet and delicious.

We ordered the Banana Coffee, Ube Latte, and House Coffee, and all three were delicious. I'm not usually an iced coffee person, but these drinks completely changed my mind. They were smooth, flavorful, and incredibly refreshing. The Banana Coffee was unique and surprisingly enjoyable, while the Ube Latte had a rich, comforting flavor. Even the House Coffee stood out with its well-balanced taste. The line may look intimidating, but it's definitely worth the wait. This is another spot that's earned a place on my list of favorites, and I'll definitely be back to try more of their menu.

There was a line out the door when I arrived, but don't let that scare you away. The team kept things moving quickly and efficiently. I ordered the Matcha Pandan with less sweet, and it was absolutely delicious! The pandan flavor pairs well with the earthy notes of the matcha. Honestly, I cannot even imagine how sweet it would be without modifying the sweetness level. As someone who prefers non dairy drinks, I was happy to hear from the girl taking my order that it's made with oat milk. That creamy oat milk combined with the matcha and pandan made the drink smooth. This one is definitely going to be my new go to order!

The location has plenty of parking and plenty of seating. There is an outdoor patio, and inside there is a first floor seating area, and a second floor seating area. The interior had high ceilings and modern practical decor. Staff will take your order at the cashier, but they also have a kiosk if you want to avoid human interaction. I was here for a few hours, so I started off with a hot beverage since I saw that they have mug service. I had the hot Churro Latte ($8.15/large) and I was warned it's a bit sweet so staff suggested that I get it less sweet. I appreciated the gesture but maybe that's why I didn't taste too much of the churro flavor. It tasted like a good regular latte but maybe they held back on the caramel and cinnamon to the point I couldn't detect it. Seating is first come first serve. It was actually really busy and difficult to find an ideal spot. Since I was alone I sat at a high top ledge, strategically near an outlet. From what I saw, they had a really good amount of outlets in the indoor seating area. Later on I went back and ordered an iced Blueberry Lavender Matcha with Cold Foam ($9.25/large) and a Deluxe Avocado Toast ($15) which comes with egg, bacon, and herb oil. I like that this location serves the avocado toast with a knife and fork cause it was much needed. It was a bit on the wet side. Maybe I should ask for light herb oil next time. For how much this avocado toast cost, I would have liked more avocado. The avocado was more of a spread, not whole slices of avocado. Still good, just an observation. The blueberry lavender matcha was okay. I could taste the lavender but it was overpowering the matcha and the blueberry was hard to detect at all. Honestly the location and plentiful seatings is what stood out most from this experience. I would consider coming back since I know their products are good from trying their other locations but I wouldn't get the drinks I ordered this time. For how expensive coming here was, I wish I was a little more satisfied.

Full sweetness (agave) was delightful and did not feel overly sweet. Seemed like they use 3 or 4 g of matcha, but not sure (was at least more than 2g). Oat milk is only 50 cents extra, but I got regular milk (I think they use 2%). Interior was clean, forest green and had luxurious leafy vibes with 4 or so tables of 3. There is a bathroom, oddly with a bidet. Located in an older strip mall with varied food offerings. Plenty or parking on a weekday midday. BEWARE: google maps takes you to an alley in back, so just go around the block to the other side. I see why this place was on a reel for top iced matchas in OC. Would recommend, and would like to come back to try the mango matcha latte or even just for this cherry matcha again!

I saw that they recently switched to a new powder so I wanted to try. They claim to be using Rocky's matcha, but I used Rocky's matcha at home and it tastes nothing like this! My double matcha tasted like pure grass and was very gritty. I'm not even sure what made it a double matcha because there was no matcha cream or anything on top. So I paid $8 for a bland grassy cup of milk. Cuptopia PLEASE go back to your old matcha ***Edit because that response from the owner is wild hahaha I guess the customer service isn't that great. I did not make a single rude comment about your shop or anything even remotely close to ruin anyone's reputation. All I said was that the matcha blend has downgraded because it has. Yelp is here to share honest opinions and that was mine. And obviously I don't know what was said or ordered because I WAS NOT THERE. He just dropped it off and made no mention of matcha cream not being available, either way $8 is way too expensive for a matcha this quality. I never once said I want to do a collab with your shop he was probably just trying to support me and my page because I enjoy making content and run a fun little matcha page. I have actually made a video/post in the past expressing how much I enjoyed your shop and matcha and it's still accessible on my page but probably not after this interaction. Very odd and rude response for a simple review:/ all I said was the old matcha was better....sorry that struck a nerve.

However, I had errands to run after work and this was the only coffee shop in the area that was open before 7:30 AM which was perfect for me since I get off work at 7 AM. I got to Arc a little after 7:15 AM and they were slammed with orders (mostly online/phone). I ordered the following: **Goth Latte: Opted to get oat milk but I forgot to adjust my sweetness level. That nutty vanilla flavor with the activated charcoal was amazing. One of the most flavorful lattes I've had by far that isn't too complex. (5/5) **Iced Americano: Solid Americano. It had the perfect balance of acidity which is hard to find these days. (5/5) One thing I'm not a big fan of is how huge the ice cubes are. Also, this place is not ideal for studying because the music is really loud. Parking is quite small but you shouldn't have a problem if you come early in the morning.

I wasn't asked if I wanted my latte hot or iced (partly my fault for not clarifying), but I ended up with a drink that was mostly ice. With tip included, it was almost a $10 drink, and after just a few sips I honestly didn't feel like it was worth the price. I appreciate supporting local coffee shops, but I think the overall experience matters just as much as the drink itself. I'd probably choose Starbucks next time, where I know I'll get a consistent latte and feel welcomed when I walk in.

It should be permanent. The staff are so nice. It was my first time and they asked if I had the taro affogato before. They wanted to make sure I truly liked the drink before I walked away.

The employees here are seriously so impressive and other places should take note. Parking is free in the lot behind the building. Lots of cute stores.
