    I was very pleasantly surprised I ordered the roast beef croissanwich it was absolutely delicious you didn't even take five minutes to get there. I found the environment welcoming I'll have to come back and try the donuts they keep it simple but the service is very good and my sandwich was super delicious!

    Small location tucked away in a strip mall but dang they were good! I got three dozen for just over $50 which was a steal!! We got a huge selection but I personally tried the jelly filled and a sugar donut. Both were great! Highly suggest! Great value and quality

    Great donut selection, 24 hour service and quick service! Kind of in the middle of nowhere but when you need it, get it here

If you get here early morning, all of their donuts are hot/warm, which makes them extra special! My favorite flavors are still the Blueberry Lemon ($4.75) and Buttermilk Old Fashioned ($4.50). The people who work here are just amazing, they are super friendly and helpful! Parking is never an issue, but there could be a line depending on the time of day. I continue to be a fan of JD Flannel Donuts and highly recommend this place!

We stopped by on a Friday morning to grab a few donuts, and the experience was great from the start. The workers were fun, energetic, and super helpful. Nice clean and modern shop with a wall of donuts We couldn't decide what to order, but another customer told us we *had* to try the apple fritter and wow, they were right. That apple fritter was SO good, fresh, warm, perfectly soft, and not overly sweet. Honestly, perfection. We grabbed a few other donuts too, and while most were great, one tasted like it may have been sitting out a bit longer and wasn't nearly as good. So my advice: go early and get them fresh because that's when these donuts really shine. If you're in the area and craving fresh donuts, definitely check them out!

The seasoning is just right and the bagel is subtly yeasty and slightly sweet with just the right amount of crispness without giving up the traditional dense, semi-chewy interior.

    Niguel Bakery & Donuts isn't just a place we eat -- it's where our kids grew up…read more Let me get the obvious out of the way first: yes, the donuts are legit. Our go-to favorites are the chocolate cronut (dangerous), the glazed old fashioned, and their cake donuts -- the kind that remind you why donuts were invented in the first place. But here's what most people don't realize... The deli is a hidden gem. My wife's favorite is their American Mexi-Cal style breakfast burrito -- and for good reason. Huge, insanely good value, big crispy buttery potatoes, soft chewy tortillas, and a portion size that laughs at inflation. I recently had their Boar's Head deli-sliced ham and cheese on sourdough with lettuce, tomatoes, and pickles, and I genuinely don't have the vocabulary to describe how soft and perfect that sandwich was. It's not "good for a donut shop." It's just really good. But honestly? The food is only part of why this place matters to us. Our kids practically grew up here. Dave and Dani have known our family since before our kids were even born. They've seen both of our children grow -- literally from in the womb, to infants, to toddlers, and now our kids are 2 and 7 years old. We'll be posting photos through the years because... yeah, this place is part of our family history. That's not something you can fake. This is one of those rare neighborhood spots where you sit for hours in the morning, coffee in hand, talking with locals, laughing, and catching up. It's where the community actually feels like a community. The owners, Dave and Dani, are some of the kindest, most genuine people you'll ever meet. Dave is basically a big kid himself (especially when it comes to cars) and somehow always finds ways to surprise my kids with random little toys -- the kind of moments kids remember forever. I grew up in a small town in Virginia, out of my own mom's deli and convenience store -- where locals gathered over coffee, the Washington Post (and yes... cigarettes back then ). Living on the West Coast without family nearby, Niguel Bakery & Donuts gives me that same feeling of home. This is a place where kids can still feel safe like the old days -- riding bikes with friends, scraping together change for a snack... and if they're a little short and have been on their best behavior, Dave and Dani might just take care of them anyway. That kind of generosity can't be taught -- it's who they are. It's an East Coast bodega-style bakery/deli, right here in Laguna Niguel, and they don't just talk about community -- they show it through the countless non-profit events, food donations, and local causes they support. If you're looking for more than just donuts -- if you want great food, real people, and a place that feels like home -- this is it. We'll be here tomorrow morning. And the next day. And probably for years to come.
