I already loved Donut City, but now that they have breakfast sandwiches and espresso drinks, I'm planning to move into the parking lot. The bacon egg and cheese tastes like your grandma made it for you so you'd be ready to go out and play all day, and the white maple latte confers instant hot girl energy with the first sip. That happy donut mural is smiling with the confidence of a mascot who knows your day will get better because you walked in to this business. read more

BEST DONUTS IN SOCAL!!! 10/10 service every time I do and the store is kept very clean.

I had the Vienna drink I think it's called and it was not too sweet, perfect and a glazed twist. I came in around 10am, very friendly and the donut was so fresh. Thank you! read more

I have been craving a donut and talking to my client about donuts yesterday, so while charging my car, I decided to hop into pavilions and see what they had not realizing of the donut shop nearby. I've driven by the shop so many times I never thought much of it. Today, I had a bit of a wait, I figured I'd swing by and check it out. There wasn't much of a selection since I came two hours prior to closing. BUT THEY HAD BLUEBERRY DONUTS. I bought two of the three available +3 donut holes. The lady helping me saw that I was trying to see the menu, so she told me how much everything was. I paid with cash but they do take card. Lucky for me, my blueberry donut craving was resolved with $1.50. read more

Amazing owners and donuts! Arrive early for the apple fritters. Breakfast sandwiches are a must.

Very good donut spot. We got there later in the day when the selection was restricted. First off this place is very dated and for me that's part of its charm. It's small with a handful of tables but appeared clean. We're not from the area so whenever I see a donut spot I get excited. We entered and were greeted by a little, lady lady. As I stated previously, selection wasn't all that great. I asked her "what's good?", she said "all of them!". My wife took an old fashioned which she said was a bit greasy. I took a buttermilk glazed which was fresh, sweet and wonderful. read more

Donut City - a donut shop on a street corner - Bakeries Near Me - Seal Beach, California

Good donuts and quick service. A sugar donut even tasted yummier when it was one day old. That was a first. Service was quick. Limited lot parking...and a few spots on the road in front. read more

Love the donuts here. The couple who own this donut shop are super nice and hard working too. Can't go wrong with a sprinkle donut or chocolate bar when the donut craving hits. read more

They just remodeled. They don't have the bakers dozen so you only get 12. The owners are very nice and donuts are fresh. They close early though. read more

... I really really really wanted a shave ice, but thought ok... lemme get a Slurpee cuz I was in the wrong area for Hula Girls. So, I actually went 1.6 miles out of my way to hit up a 7-11. Out of 6 flavors, 2 were working. I hate cherry and didn't want my mouth to be blue, so I walked out... right into the donut store next door. So, because of that, let me give a shout out to Donut City. The hard working couple that had a rather sad story awhile back where the wife was sick and the husband worked alone for months only to go to her side while she needed his care. I saw her sweeping today, and she looks great, so I just nodded and said "hi". I know they are humble, hard working people from the articles I read, so I had a gut feeling not to bring up the story right now... but now I'm regretting saying "Glad to see you're feeling better"... Shout out: This donut is SUPER FRESH and it's 11 a.m. I always "try" out a plain glazed when I'm at a new shop, cuz if they can do a bomb glazed, then they go down as a mental note as a "good" donut shop. A+ here. read more

Donut City - A+ on this glazed donut. It's 11 a.m. and STILL super fresh!! Delicious!! - Bakeries Near Me - Seal Beach, California

I don't know why I didn't think to stop by Donut City until today. Well, I'm glad that I did coz I found another donut shop to frequent whenever the craving hits. Upon entering the store, we were greeted by the owners. The store was clean so that's another good sign. Since my only reason for today's visit is to buy donuts, I placed my order for 3 of my faves -- glazed, sugar raised, and blueberry cake. The total came out to $4.10 so prices were comparable to others. Both yeast donuts were soft and pillowy. They tasted fresh and not oily. The blueberry cake delish as well; the fruit flavor wasn't lost in the donut batter. Of the three, the glazed was the best, then sugar, and then blueberry. Their glazed is almost the same as my favorite donut shop in FV. Donut City satisfied my donut craving and gets top stars for flavor, price, customer service, and convenient location. I definitely recommend them to anyone who wants or needs a donut or three. Now I have a local go-to donut place instead of driving to FV just for donuts. read more

Best donuts in California!! We live in Northern California and make a point to get our favorite donuts from there every time we go anywhere near there! read more

Quality of donuts was very good. I especially liked that the apple fritter was the size of normal round donut which makes the outer crust ratio better imo. The couple who served me were very nice. The ambiance is simple/traditional old-school donut shop. Located in a small corner plaza so not many parking spots. Definitely would return when visiting Seal Beach. read more

Donut City - buttermilk maple, cake donut with sprinkles and the apple fritter :) - Bakeries Near Me - Seal Beach, California

The hype is real...classic, fluffy donuts! Not as easy to find as you'd think, but these were 10/10.

Amazing strawberry donut! Incredibly fluffy and delicious! Sweet elderly lady running the shop was so sweet! Would come again!

I visited this donut place because of all the great reviews. Staff was friendly. The donuts were fresh but they were average. I had seen all the great reviews for the blueberry donut and it was just okay. I have had them at other places where the blueberry flavor is way more prominent. The apple fritter was good comparable to other donut places. There was plenty of parking and it sounds like getting here early is important as they were out of the large apple fritter when I arrived late morning. read more

All time favorite donut place in Oc. Been going here since I was little always fresh and tasty!!

Considering the cost of this in CA this place is a bargain. The buttermilk donut with maple icing is very good. The coffee is marginal but at gas station prices what was expected. read more

Donut City - My favorite sugar donut - Bakeries Near Me - Seal Beach, California

Very friendly owner. It was my first time and I asked about his wife. She is doing much better. I am so touched hearing how customers bought out the daily inventory repeatedly so the owner could close shop and be with his wife. I wish I had tried a croissant. They seem to be popular. The Blueberry donut and Apple Fritter were my favorites. I liked the Glazed Buttermilk - so simple yet sublime. The Boston Creme and French Cruller were good but I've had better. I tried a cup of coffee. Good, smooth taste but I like it stronger. Cheap prices, too! Wasn't busy when I came on a Saturday morning and the parking spots are only for Donut City and 7-11. Will definitely return and try a croissant! No holding back next time! read more

Or family has been enjoying their donuts for 30+ years. I just had a couple and they are freshest every!!! So tasty. Thank you.

We also stopped at Donut City this morning for breakfast and some small prayers at the beach. I had not been here in a while, we had a good morning breakfast. I would come have donuts or bagels here when I lived in Cypress and Los Alimitos. Purchased a couple bagels and donuts for everyone. Coffee is really good here too. Nice spot near the water and all. My go to spot. read more

I read about this donut shop, so I came be early on a Saturday morning. It wasn't busy at this time and I was able to get in and out fast. The store owner helped me with picking my order and he was helpful. The store was close and the display cases were full. The parking lot is not very big but I was there early so parking wasn't a problem. read more

Donut City - Great donuts - Bakeries Near Me - Seal Beach, California

Good donuts and friendly service. Lots of options to choose from. Tasted better than Dunkin' and Krispy Kreme.

This is a great little family run donut shop in Seal Beach. They have a great selection of wonderfully made donuts. Personally I love apple fritters. Theirs are wonderful and they make smaller ones which you can't find at most places. Sadly enough, this just tends to mean that I eat 2 of them rather than 1 but I do appreciate it none the less. You'll get service with a smile and it is obvious that it is a good place when there are some customers who are obviously regulars and are greeted by their first name. read more

My donut shop of choice when on PCH and traveling through the Seal Beach/Sunset Beach area. Excellent quality and great prices.

Hands down the most consistent BEST ham and cheese croissant (with or without jalapeño- recommend with) anywhere! Plus the owners are amazing and the donuts are dynamite as well. read more

Fresh, delicious donuts, great selection, efficient service and great pricing. This is my new favorite donut shop.

Wonderful and charming old school donut shop! Super friendly staff. Great prices. Easy parking. The donuts are legit old school donuts! We got the sprinkles cake donut and raised donut with chocolate icing and they hit the spot! The ham and cheese croissants here was also great! We had to get a little something for later ;). Would highly recommend for a craving! read more

The best donuts in town, hands down. Family run business that's been there forever. No frills, just very fresh donuts. They close early so hurry up! read more

Great croissants and donuts, friendly service! John even heated up our huge ham and cheese croissant to go, and it was delicious and better than expected. Heard about this place on the news, and his wife was there hard at work cleaning - glad she's recovered! read more

amazing donuts ! The owners here are very nice and hear warming. The place is very nice.

Loved this place since I was a little kid. I've eaten at countless donut shops over the years and besides Sesame Donuts in Portland; Donut City is the best. I usually get a couple chocolate sprinkled cake donuts, or one of their incredible cream cheese pastries. The cinnamon twists are great too. Owners are the kindest people ever. read more

Trying to place a large order and they're not answering the phone. It rings over and over with no voicemail. Update: stopped in this morning to pick the team up some donuts. Very quick, in and out and the case was full. Donut holes, chocolate bar, blueberry, crumb, cinnamon, glaze. read more

The best donuts ever, a family owned and very friendly the price is very great too definitely recommend

Really amazing little spot, heard about this place from some colleagues and had to try it, once i was there i heard about the owners and had to get 3 dozen donuts and take them to the office. They were all very nice and amazing, very friendly. The donuts were fresh and great, i even had some colleagues tell me how amazing they were, and of course i told them where to go and to get them. Thank you so much for the amazing fresh donuts i will Definitely be back soon. God Bless you, and your amazing family. read more

The donuts are a perfect early-morning pick-me-up and the owners are always a kind face to see.

Quintessential mom and pop donut shop in a prime location on PCH. I have driven by Donut City a million times and am so glad we finally stopped in to give them a try. The interior is minimal and charmingly dated, yet immaculately clean. At 9am on a Saturday the case was brimming with every classic flavor you could hope to find. The young guy working was super friendly and helped me choose 12 different varieties to try. One dozen donuts, a coffee, and a milk came to just $16. The coffee was fantastic-a nice nutty medium roast. My favorite of the donuts I tried was the Old Fashioned, which was delicate and moist on the inside, with a crisp, sweet exterior. The Buttermilk was equally impressive for the same reasons. Their raised donuts were also excellent, with a vanilla scented airy dough and icings/toppings that provided the perfect amount of sweetness. They accept all credit cards. Highly recommended. read more
