    Chomp!
    Cristian B.

    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 :)

    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!

    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.

    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.

    Crème brûlée, triple berry, earl grey, pistachio

    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.

    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!

    Holy crap...these are the best vegan doughnuts I've ever had. I thought Seattle had them but I changed my mind. The coconut one was just...perfection. Strawberry: mind-blowing. I know the maple one is going to kill me. I love this place so much. Thank you for existing.

    First time at Good Town Doughnuts! Staff was very friendly! The donuts were designed beautifully and the kids loved them! Morning is the best time to go if you have kids so they can run around without disturbing grown up conversations! The price was a little steep if purchasing for kiddos to just scarf down but nonetheless they enjoyed it, so choose your picks wisely! There are tons of seating all around the Lab so you don't have to worry about where to sit. :)

    Ally U.

    Best vegan doughnuts I have ever tasted in my entire life. We went for the buy 5 get 1 free promo and chose: Boston Cream, Matcha, Maple Walnut, Mango Coconut, Earl Grey MT, and Butter Almond. Our favorites were Maple walnut and matcha but all were so yummy and not too sweet. You couldn't even tell they were vegan and tastes way better than regular doughnuts. There is so many flavors and textures done so well that we devoured the box within minutes. Service was friendly and quick. Inside is decorated with many items and its more of a to-go place.

    Do you happen to do birthday donuts donuts with letters?

It was 10 min before closing & idk if the girls were just rushing to close down but one girl in particular had an attitude. There was a miscommunication / misunderstanding with the girl who took my coffee order (I had assumed the seasonal banana latte came with the foam as pictured & because she didn't ask if I wanted the foam, I didn't ask for it more-so bc she asked if I wanted the brittle on top). When they handed me my drink it was a plain banana latte with no foam or brittle. I was ignored when I tried calling for the barista until another girl followed up - however this girl had an attitude. She told me that I must not have ordered it since they ask at the register if I want foam with brittle. Explained they didn't ask. Instead she just said "sorry I'll let them know for next time". And walked away leaving me with my drink as is. Didn't offer any sort of resolution. I walked in and asked they could charge me extra for the foam. The same girl with the attitude remade my drink and handed it to me. No thank you, no sorry, nothing. First time experiencing this kind of service. Not sure if the girl is new but saw someone else share a similar experience couple days ago. Wish I would have asked for her name!

The orange flavor was phenomenal and I have no notes. We also got the strawberry donut and hot chocolate with almond milk, both obviously very good as well. It was my first time getting the hot chocolate and I was honestly surprised with how yummy it was. It was not too chocolatey and not too milky. It was the perfect balance and the perfect pairing with the donuts.

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.
