    Donuts
    Brenda L.

    Yes and yes! This is a must. The donuts are vegan or plant based. Super soft! Real fruit jams and glazed. The bread is like biting a cloud! So soft and flavorful. We came early, like 8am early so parking was easy and donuts were warm. My favorite: the s'mores!! Its a must! The strawberry heavy whipped cream reminds me of malasadas. Extremely delicious! The gentleman at the counter was super friendly too. I will definitely be back

    First off, this location is part of the cutest space. So many great spots to visit and also just sit to enjoy your food. WiFi is also strong! The shop itself is small but Jo a problem. Very community oriented with the take a bag, leave a bag offering. Oreo donut was okay. I felt like it was a thick donut for all the Oreo to only be on the top but it was still very tasty. The crème brûlée donut was AHHMAZING! The custard, the fruit, the sugar top. No complaints at all

    Chomp!

    This place got a lot of colorful treats with magic put into it I swear it looks like a candy factory and I'm getting a good calorie count just looking at the goodness this place makes to get my sweet tooth craving started. I like the staff friendliness and the place is packed with cool decor and memories of the past days.

    All the donuts I mention :)

    The shop is a cute little spot in a shopping/eating/lounging center. There is so much to look at in there, a lot going on (that's a good thing!). The service was swift, not much to say there. But the donuts??? TO DIE FOR. The crème brûlée donut was my favorite (not vegan.. sad but eating it was worth it). The coconut one was very flavorful, not too sweet- just right. The berry one was tart but balanced. Earl Grey donut was good, just a bit too buttery, texture wise (it was the filling ahh). Vanilla and sprinkles donuts were just classics, nothing crazy but nothing bad. Great spot for a sweet treat :)

Line & Service Was Attentive!! Will Return To Try The Earl Grey & Matcha Donuts!! ThankU

    Limited edition- Earl Grey ($6) and my favorite Triple Berry donut ($6). 7/6/2025

    It has been a little while since I last visited Good Town Doughnuts and I'm glad their quality hasn't changed. My all time favorite is Triple Berry ($6). It has a really nice sweet and tart flavor to it and the doughnut has a really nice texture and taste despite being vegan. I also love their Double Chocolate ($5), with just the right amount of chocolate flavor. Their doughnuts do not leave you feeling gross and greasy afterwards. Service is always friendly. They have such a cool vibe here to go with the rest of The Lab aesthetics. This is a place worth checking out whether you are vegan or not because their doughnuts are really good!

    Everything about this mom and pop shop is amazing, from the service to the overall vibe. The staff are incredibly kind and welcoming, which makes the experience even better. I especially love the berry donut, and the matcha lattes are always a hit with high quality ingredients. You can really tell they care about what they're serving. Definitely worth checking out! Tip: Skip the line at Nook and come here instead

    starting at the top left: lemon poppyseed, simple glazed, coconut, earl grey, raspberry pistachio, triple berry.

    FOLKS. Do NOT sleep on the Earl Grey Vegan Donut!!! HOLY MOLY I thought the cream they added before handing it to me was just going to be like a whipped cream. NO. IT was NOT normal whipped cream! It was CLOTTED CREAM (or a variation of it anyway). Y'all it has been SO LONG since I have had clotted cream. Legit I took a bit and it brought me all the way back to my study abroad in England (before I was vegan), when I ate clotted cream and drank early grey daily for a month straight. Brilliant! Of COURSE your topping for an earl grey donut should be clotted cream! Simple, delicious, not too sweet. I can't rave about this enough. The rest of the vegan donuts I tried (simple glazed, coconut, lemon poppy seed, triple berry, and raspberry pistachio) were also delicious. Triple berry glaze really tasted like it had been made with real berries (not just berry flavoring). The lemon poppyseed was probably my least favorite (not because it wasn't good, but because it tasted so much like lemon poppyseed bread, but I missed the dense, heavy texture of the actual thing). Coconut was quite yummy, just what I wanted it to be. Simple Glazed hit the spot. Overall. Cannot recommend this place enough--for anyone really, I don't think you'd need to be vegan to fall in love with these flavors. BUT especially for anyone looking for artisan donuts, this is the place!! Also service was fast and efficient, and there's a lot of nice seating right outside because it's inside The Lab.

    Stopped into Good Town Donuts in Costa Mesa for a last minute birthday celebration and grabbed the variety pack. Cut everything in half and shared with friends which was perfect because you get to try a little bit of everything without committing to just one flavor. Overall the donuts were good, definitely presentable, and the lady who helped us made the experience really enjoyable. The shop itself is super cute and has a fun vibe, but nothing that totally blew me away. They do have non-vegan options which is nice, but honestly it felt more like a one time stop for me. I liked it, my friends liked it, but it's not the kind of spot I'd go out of my way to visit again. Still, if you're in the area and want something sweet and Instagram-worthy, it's worth a try.

    Super cool local spot that has an amazing hot or cold matcha and the vegan donut assortment is to die for. Plus, they have a mouth watering avocado toast that is very filling. The team is fast and friendly. They work to make sure you are completely satisfied. The shop overall is small with seating both indoor and outdoor. The shop is located in outdoor shopping/dining uniquely designed strip mall area.

    Crème brûlée, triple berry, earl grey, pistachio
    Ashley Y.

    SOOOOO GOOD! I'm not gluten free, vegan, vegetarian etc anything that would require a specialty donut shop but this place is amazing and would 100% come back Ordered crème brûlée, triple berry, earl grey, pistachio My favorites are berry and earl grey. Berry was nice and tart and good balance of sweet and sour, was refreshing for a hot day. Earl grey smelled SO fragrant and had a nice filling. Not too sweet too!!!! Crème brûlée and pistachio were fine (not mad at it, just not as impressive, still really good) Will be back to try other flavors! They have a buy 5 get 1 free and can ask them to put in boxes of 2 & 4 if you want to split an order with a friend.

    Vegan mini box
    Christine A.

    Whenever I pass by this place they're always closed because they've sold out, but I finally saw it open on a rainy day!!! The lady in front is SO nice and friendly. I got a vegan mini box so that I could try their most popular flavors. I also got a cashewmilk smoothie. Everything was tasty and thoughtfully packaged!

The food was amazing. The ham and cheese was warm, creamy, and perfectly balanced, exactly what we needed. And the old fashioned donuts were so good; crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and not overly sweet. Everything tasted fresh. The ambiance was so cute and nice, made me feel like home with the lighting and cleanliness. Honestly, the service is what makes this place special. The kindness alone would make me come back, but the donuts being that good just seals it. If you want great donuts and even better people, this is the spot.

Got to the window, workers were just moving at their own pace and didn't acknowledge us for about 5 minutes. When someone finally came over we asked again about swapping the donut and she said "oh I heard you before." So she heard us at the speaker and just... didn't respond. That's not a small thing. Donuts were ok, nothing special. The small black coffee kept leaking out the side... lid was on tight, coffee wasn't filled to the top, so something is off with the lids. Overall the service made it hard to enjoy anything about the visit.

From past experience, the best ham & cheese croissants came from good ol' mom-&-pop donut shops and it had been quite a long time since I'd had one. To my surprise and excitement I realized this place is not just a donut shop but a hidden gem for savory breakfast "pastries" and sandwiches as well. Their ham and cheese croissants are quite large pillows-of-buttery heavy (yet delicate if that makes sense) dough soft on the inside, and beautifully crisp on the outside. It has that unmistakable, old-school donut shop magic--warmed gooey melted cheese, savory deli ham in a buttery & flaky croissant that sheds flakes into the bottom of the old school bag, and satisfying enough to carry you for hours. I ate half on the way home and was excited to eat the 2nd half the next morning. My advice...SKIP THE COMMERCIAL CHAINS AND SUPPORT THIS LOCAL SPOT if you desire a nostalgic legendary ham & cheese croissant - Perfection!

My normal order is a maple bar or glaze twist with a large coffee (comes out for less than $6 and it's cheaper if you pay in cash). It's basically cheaper or as cheap than Starbucks but you get to support a local business, the ladies who run the store are very kind and sweet, and the quality absolutely dunks on any other donut shop or Starbucks that I've tried.

When I searched on Google for ice cream near me- chocolate shoppe ice cream popped up then upon looking further I realized it was sold within duck donuts. Still ventured to try it Two guys working, one said he was new, and didn't know where all the flavors were / allowed us to try some b4 we ordered but was a pain bc the flavors were spread between two freezers in front of store and whatever was in the back. Placed an order for 3 double scoop cups (all they had) and took a really long time to make them having to figure out where the flavors were between the front and back of store. Then. They didn't have lids to cover them or a bag to put them in - so we literally covered each cup with another cup and put in a box I had from Costco in my trunk to get them home without dripping everywhere in my car. And I say dripping everywhere bc by the time he finished the last cup/. The others were melted from taking so long. They should probably just stick to donuts if they can't fully support the ice cream products. If I knew now/ I wouldn't have chosen to try there for ice cream. Very unfortunate, bc we probably would have loved the ice cream - but the experience clearly trumped the product.
