Store front
Alvin H.

This donut shop was always situated in front of the church (St. Bonaventure Catholic Church), which I've always attended when I was little, yet I never once walked over here in the 24 years that I've been going to church. I've been going to church daily and one day, I decided to drop by because I was in the mood for some donut holes. I've also read on Yelp that they have freshly squeezed orange juice. The store seems very popular as you can always see people going in and out, even having a lottery machine. I decided to buy an orange juice and donut holes. The store worker instantly grabbed a fresh orange juice from the fridge that was already sealed. The orange juice, though freshly squeezed, still had a lot of pulp in it. I would give it a 4/5 yelp stars. You might ask, why I would give this establishment a 5 yelp stars despite the orange juice? Well, the DONUT HOLES more than made up for it. It is perfectly glazed, fresh, and is sold for 3 dollars a bag. As I am watching my sugar and calories, I asked for 2 dollars' worth of donut holes. They were the most delicious thing I have ever tasted, even beating local donut shops or even chain donut shops. From this point on, I am a lifelong fan. Other donut shops have stale donuts, but these are fresh because on the weekend, you can see how they bring a mountain of them on a pan, set on top of the counter, as it seems to be the #1 seller. I will now stop by this donut shop after mass from time to time, as they just earned a new fan. The local store deserves recognition by the Yelp community for the donut holes alone.

1. The donut was fluffy, the smoothie had a good texture with the blend, and the sandwich was comforting! 2. The spot has fast-casual vibes! 3. There are only a few single tables inside! 4. The staff were friendly and timely with my order! 5. Parking lot is small, but it doesn't get busy! Note: There is no customer restroom!

There are one million donut places in Huntington Beach. This is not a true statement. There are a lot of donut places in Huntington Beach. Each one has a different personality, menu and pricing. This spot has great fresh donuts, the usual reheatable ham and cheese croissants and freshly made breakfast croissant sandwiches made to order. They also have bagels - the bagel guy was delivering a couple of fresh bags while I was there. Very friendly staff - mom and teenage daughter when I went Monday. Ordered the #5 for myself - 3 meat breakfast croissant with eggs, cheese, add avocado because I'm a goddam pig. $7.99 For my husband, a dainty sausage, egg and cheese croissant $6.49. Honestly we're like Jack Sprat and the wife. My husband is a buttermilk bar afficianado and this place passed with flying colors. He loved the flavor and texture. $1.50 each. I love any filled donut - raspberry filled, lemon filled, custard filled... and this place did not disappoint. $1.75 each. The only bad thing while I was there, a richy rich mom with 3 bratty out-of-control children. Doors left open on their SUV outside meant they took up 3 parking spaces. The "cute" 3 year old girl helping herself to drinks out of the cooler while the owner's daughter told her "those cost money." All 3 "angels" were SO LOUD. I locked eyes with another patron and we shared a WTF look. But this had nothing to do with the delicious food, service and pricing. I'll definitely be returning.

Went here 11 minutes before closing and it was closed. I love donuts in the evening. So sad. Is this common?

Hello thanks for inquiring! On some odd days, we do sell out a bit before closing time, so we will close early. Feel free to give us a ring to check first. Hope to see you soon!…

I took my bride here for our anniversary last night and it was wonderful. Located next to the…read moreBungalow in Pacific City, it was our first visit here. Easy to park in their lot and it was free with validation. Six or so tables along the glass on the patio, and another 4-6 in the dining room, make this a wonderful pace for dinner, apps or drinks while watching a sunset. Mia at the front desk made sure we had a great seat. Phil was our waiter and he took great care of us all evening. A delicious paloma martini got us started and we loved the spicy tuna tartare tacos. The short ribs with pineapple cheesy risotto was yummy and my wife loved the salmon and mashed potatoes. Huge portions and the price was not crazy. Pretty quiet on the patio aside from a few loud motorcycles along PCH. The dining room was a bit louder with the piped in music but too loud in there. We will definitely be back. Solid dinner house with great ocean views.

I'm really disappointed to have to update my review after our latest experience at The Brant…read more Unfortunately, the lack of hospitality we experienced this time was incredibly disappointing from the moment we arrived. We brought my stepdad, who was in a wheelchair, and when we entered, there were two young women working at the front. Despite clearly seeing us trying to navigate the entrance with his wheelchair, neither offered to help with the door. We literally had to ask them to assist us. Something as simple as holding the door for a guest in a wheelchair should be basic hospitality and common courtesy. Unfortunately, the experience did not improve once we sat down at the bar. Our bartender, Viviana/Vidiana, essentially ignored us. My stepdad ordered a glass of Chardonnay, and she clearly heard his order. Rather than acknowledging him or getting his drink, she continued talking to another couple at the bar about how she couldn't wait to be off work. She then walked away, said something quietly to the bartender coming on shift about my stepdad wanting a Chardonnay, grabbed her purse, and left. There was no "Someone else will be taking care of you," no acknowledgment of his order, no goodbye -- nothing. It honestly came across as incredibly rude and dismissive. What bothered me most wasn't having to wait for a glass of wine; it was the complete lack of warmth, attentiveness, and basic hospitality throughout the experience. When you are bringing a family member who uses a wheelchair somewhere, you already have additional things to navigate. Having staff make you feel like an inconvenience rather than welcomed guests makes the experience that much worse. We have enjoyed The Brant before, which is why this visit was especially disappointing. Hospitality is about making people feel welcome and cared for, and unfortunately, that was completely missing during our latest visit.

Came here on a Monday and realized it was Happy Hour, what a happy surprise! I was especially…read moreexcited to see the wings on the Happy Hour menu because that's usually what I come here for, along with a drink. The wings were sweet and spicy with a subtle ginger undertone and SO yummy. I also tried the michelada and chimichanga. The michelada was just okay for me, but the chimichanga was crisp and packed with flavor. I loved all the fresh toppings that came with it, gave it a nice, refreshed taste that balanced everything out. I also ordered the chicken taco paired with buttered peas from the kids' menu for my son. He wasn't a fan of the lettuce that came with it , but I actually appreciated that it came with veggies. He loved the peas. Service was also great. I'll definitely continue coming back. I also love the location being right in the shopping center. It makes it such a convenient spot to grab a bite and a drink!
