    Classic Assorted Dozen

    Got that Snoopy Christmas donut! I was so excited for the Snoopy donuts. Those are gone now. They had Snoopy for the holidays, which was very cute. The Snoopy donut was enjoyed by my nephew. I gave him that one and he loved it. I also got some original glaze donuts. Krispy Kreme is the cream of the crop when it's comes to donuts. You won't find a better glazed donut anywhere else! Service is always great!

    I only visit supply chain donut shops when there's a promotion or coupon. They usually offer promotions toward their dozen of original glazed donuts. Parking: This spot is located outside of the Outlets at Orange. They have their own parking lot, but it fills up quick. There's usually a long line at the drive thru when they have a promotion. Thankfully the line is organized. Service: Majority of their workers are young, so don't expect much. Every time I've visited, the workers are simply quick and efficient. They get the job done. Ambiance/Environment: If you've ever been to a Krispy Kreme, then you'll know it's the same layout. It's fun watching the donuts being made and glazed. Donuts & coffee: I always get their original glazed donut. Sometimes I'll try their seasonal donuts, but it's extremely sweet. Their coffee is okay. Their lattes are excessively sweet, so I recommend adjusting the sweetness level. Pricing: Highly recommend downloading their rewards app to receive points, promotions/coupons, and a free box of three original glazed donuts on your birthday.

    Happy St. Patrick's Day!! Enjoy your favorite donuts today. Try the new shooting Shamrock donut with gorgeous green glazed and that distinctive light and fluffy texture inside. So soft warm and tender. Just perfect for any happy occasion this beautiful week. They make everything fresh and tasty every hour by hand and old school machine style. No Robots allowed here. A beautiful place for real human beings to enjoy a true delight of the wonders of mankind. Make it a Krispy Kreme fresh handmade donut today. We love your smile.

    Craving donuts this morning while at a UCI appointment across the street. Using the App, I placed the order for ASAP pick-up and ordered when I left the parking lot. Donut order was ready when I picked and the two coffe drinks (one hot and one cold) were made fresh when I arrived. Service was very friendly! Donut selection. It's been a while since I have been to a Krispy Kreme. They have so many Novelty Donuts (Snoopy, X-mas) and the others are very basic. We ordered a 6-pack, some filled (Chocolate Custard, Cinnamon Apple, Raspberry) and two basic (glazed and chocolate frosted). In general not much of a selection vs a local donut shop. The filled donuts were just okay, not very flavorful and didn't hit the spot. I was craving a Boston Cream, and the Chocolate Custard filled was not even close! Their best Donut is still the glazed, best one to order. Coffee Drinks. Huge selection of iced and hot drinks I ordered an Iced Caramel Coffee with Milk and my husband loved it. I ordered a hot Mocha Latte, free with App reward points, it was just okay, needed more Chocolate. Note the iced beverage was made manually and the hot latte was made by an automatic machine! App. It needed an update, which I did before I put in the order. When I entered the order, I needed to wait on my husband's iced drink order. The App logged me out and when I.logged back in, the order was gone! I had also added my debit card into my profile as the default payment (prior login) but when I went to order and pay only Google Pay was available! Alson.adding an additional item to the order after viewing the cart order waa difficult. Definitely user unfriendly!.The App is the worse I have ever used to place a food order! Next time I am skipping the App! Certainly this isn't on this store but management should know as it is part of the customer experience. Apps ate usually easy and convenient for the customer and efficient for the staff. If customers don't use the App, defeats having one.

    Seeing the donuts being made is always so much fun - we love taking our kids here because of that reason. AND on ST PATRICKS DAY they dye all of their original glazed donuts green and handout free donuts for their guests who're wearing green too. It's a fun family outing and always delicious and MADE FRESH! Pricing is pretty great & affordable- they also have a rewards program! Only downside to the shop is that they don't have any "CAKE DONUTS" or a lot of the classic donuts that you'd typically find at another donut shop. BUT their donuts are always tasty and are good when warmed up - but once they're cold, they're not as enjoyable.

    Located at The Block, it's one of the stores on the outskirts and not with all the other stores. There is a drive through so you don't have to get out of your car. Service was quick, you can see them making fresh donuts. The workers gave us a free donut while we were in line since it was a little busy. It was nice and warm!

    It's been forever since I've been here. I came because the Hot Light was on. Their signature glazed doughnuts were being made fresh. You can watch them being made. I went with a three pack. I got chocolate fudge brownie, chocolate iced, and chocolate iced Kreme filled. They give you a glazed doughnut fresh from the line when the Hot Light is on. I had to ask for one since Angela didn't offer me one. The other girl was passing them out. The glazed was the best. The others were nothing special. I would rather get them from a mom and pop shop.

    Anyone that says this Krispy Kreme's location suck has not gone to other Krispy Kreme's especially in the central coast lol. You're spoiled here! Fresher donuts, no flies or smells of chlorine and no old donuts and no weird designs and no misplaced eyes or decorations. You can see the small doughs in the queue and actually see them rise and then get fried and go down to the side to get glazed.

    I was heading out of town for the weekend, but wanted to stop by Krispy Kreme for a coffee and a donut for the road ahead. This Krispy Kreme in Orange is located in the Outlets at Orange. It's on the east side of the outdoor mall on the northwest corner of City Drive S and Justice Center Way. They have a drive thru that circumnavigates the donut shop, and I'm pretty sure I would have been serviced faster there than inside the shop. I like going inside to see the donut making process behind the display case of donuts. When I came in on Friday morning, there were a couple of customers waiting to order, and it took almost 10 minutes to finally get rung up for my order! There didn't seem to be that many employees working at the time, but they kept preparing boxes of Original Glazed donuts for either pickup orders on the counter or at the drive thru. But they unfortunately didn't pay too much attention to customers waiting at the register. I had a reward to use on my Krispy Kreme account: a free Passport to Italy donut with any purchase. It was set to expire that day, but the first employee I spoke to interpreted that as a Buy One Get One Free. Well, not quite. I wanted my "any purchase" to be a brewed coffee instead of a second donut. It didn't really matter though because she went off to fill more boxes of donuts and pretty much forgot about me. Even though I was annoyed with the extended wait, it did give me ample time to decide which of the Passport to Italy donuts to choose. They had three to choose from: Cannoli Inspired, Tiramisu Inspired, and Limone Delight. I probably would have gone for the Limone Delight since it appeared the least sweet, but I chose the Cannoli Inspired instead. When in Rome I guess? lol After the other two customers were serviced, a different employee, Geraldo, was ready to take my order. There was already a Krispy Kreme takeout bag with the Cannoli Inspired donut on the counter, which I assumed was mine since I told him I wanted that donut. I also told him I wanted the Classic Brewed Coffee. He asked if I wanted Medium, which is the only size listed on their menu, so it confused me at first. I was intent on getting a Medium because I didn't want *that* much coffee, but I wish they would also specify that Large is available as well. I forgot to ask how much of an upcharge it was, but I believe at Krispy Kreme, it's a nominal 20 cents. It took a while to pay because it was difficult to get the register to scan my rewards barcode. Geraldo was a little crude in his demeanor, saying "straight" when he really meant "portrait as opposed to landscape". I mean, my phone was straight, but he didn't mention anything about orientation, so service could use some improvement there. He also wasn't too appreciative of my business, but did get my coffee ready about 30 seconds after I paid at the register. There are a handful of tables inside for you to enjoy your sweet treat(s). I don't know why, but about half the tables had one or two Krispy Kreme hats on them, presumably to greet dine-in customers. I sat at a table with a hat, which I'm keeping just for keepsakes lol. The Cannoli Inspired donut looked pretty sweet at first glance, but it didn't taste as sweet as it looked. I enjoyed the donut and was glad I got it for free with purchase of the coffee. However, is it really worth $3.19? Hmm tough question. I thought it could have used a little more cannoli flavor, so if I'm presented with this offer again, I'd probably think the Tiramisu Inspired donut would be a better choice. The Classic Brewed Coffee was your traditional brewed coffee that you could get at any other coffee shop. Geraldo did ask me if I wanted cream & sugar for my coffee, and I simply said two creams. I thought he'd add it in for me, but he added the little creamers in another Krispy Kreme bag, identical to the one that held my Cannoli Inspired donut. He also included a coffee stirrer in the bag, which I somehow missed and went to get one at the rear counter close to the order kiosks. And speaking of order kiosks, there are two of them in the rear of the shop. One has a sign for credit/contactless payments only, but the other doesn't. I don't know if that means that other kiosk can take cash, but just be prepared to pay by credit card if you prefer to order via kiosk. I didn't see the kiosks until after I ordered, but I would have been willing to give either kiosk a try had I known beforehand. I paid for a Medium coffee, but thought the cup was a little larger than a Medium. Did they actually give me a Large instead? If so, pleasant surprise! Even if not, just know that the Medium coffee is a reasonable size for the price point. Overall, it wasn't too bad of a visit to this Krispy Kreme, but the extended wait and the indifferent service left much to be desired. It's not a bad option for sweet treats in the Outlets at Orange, but I'm sure there are better options in the actual outlet mall itself.

    Got a dozen of the original glazed here. Did this through the drive through and the staff was quite efficient with getting my order out quickly. Nothing beats the original glazed I gotta say. The dough is light and fluffy and you get the right amount of sweetness with rhe glaze. Will definitely come back!

    1. The donut was simple and comforting! I do like the strawberry filling! 2. The spot has fun casual vibes with a spacious interior! 3. The staff was friendly and timely with my order! It was ready right away! 4. There are indoor and outdoor areas! There are good number of tables! 5. Parking is easy! Spots are double-lined and not compact! Note: There is a drive-thru option!

    This month they were featuring Peanuts themed donuts and of course we had to get some! They were super cute and actually tasted great! We have tried filled donuts from Krispy Kreme before and had not cared for them because the glazed are definitely where it's at, but these were good. Highly recommend for a cute surprise for the office or family. Service was good and they were super busy!

Still, I decided to give this place a second chance (no angry neighbor this time), and I was glad I did! PARKING: There's street parking around the neighborhood - I parked on Almond Ave so I wasn't in front of a house. The spots right outside the shop were 30 minute only. If you can't find parking there's probably tons as you go east if you're willing to walk. WHAT I ORDERED: Pistachio cream cold brew THE DRINK: Amazing. I've had my share of acidic or bitter cold brews, and this was not one of them. The cream was perfectly sweetened and flavored . SERVICE: Exceeded my expectations. The baristas when I came in were very bubbly and answered my questions and gave me suggestions, and were funny too! I wish I got their names, but they were working on Monday early afternoon - I hope they get some recognition. We also got some samples of the food items (which may have swayed me to get the turkey panini next time I come in). Even with the experience I had above a while back ago, I remember going in to let the baristas know and they were very understanding and apologetic, which I really appreciated. VIBES: Probably one of the top coffee shops to get work done in OC. Here's my work-from-coffee-shop checklist: * OUTLETS: So many. Not at the tables downstairs but in the private rooms and at a lot of the seating upstairs. * WIFI/INTERNET: Yes, good speed * BATHROOMS: Yes, clean * WATER: You can ask for free water * VOLUME: Music was a little bit loud but not terrible * SEATING AVAILABILITY: Lotsssss of seats when I came on a Monday late morning-afternoon. Very cool that there were private rooms (which can be reserved two hours in advance if you call them), tables, bar-style seating upstairs, and most importantly, comfy couches!! * LAPTOP FRIENDLINESS: No restrictions BOTTOM LINE: I can't believe I almost missed out on this gem. I'll be back soon!

I believe their espresso leans toward a lighter roast, coming through bright and expressive, while the milk drinks are dialed in with that smooth, silky texture that makes you want to savor. That said, the drinks don't always scratch the itch for me in the way I might expect but it might just be that their speciality drinks aren't quite what I typically look for. Nonetheless I do still think they have a strong coffee program and a team that clearly cares about craft.

    Stopped by on a weekday morning around 10:30 am and the experience was smoother than expected for a…read morepopular spot. There were about 3 people ahead of me in line and a few waiting for drinks, but I was able to order and get my drink in around 10 minutes. Staff was very friendly and checked in with us while waiting in line! I ordered the Matcha Two, which comes as a matcha latte topped with salted matcha vanilla cream foam. The foam was velvety and creamy. The matcha had a smooth, earthy flavor with subtle sweetness. Oatmilk was the default choice, and while I usually think oatmilk can overpower matcha, it worked well in this drink. It is a little pricey for 1 drink, but that also seems to be the norm these days for specialty drinks. This is more of a grab-and-go spot than a place to hang out. There's no seating, just a bench inside, and everyone waited outside since the interior is on the smaller side. Parking was easy when I went. Overall, a pleasant experience for a yummy matcha drink, and I'd definitely come back to try more of their matcha menu!

I ordered the Matcha Two (less sweet + oat milk) and also purchased a 40 gram tin of their matcha. Once you're finished paying, you stand outside until they call you with your order. They called my name fairly quick and my drink was BEAUTIFUL. The color was a perfect shade of green. I have no notes (I'm a picky person when it comes to my matcha). 10/10!

    Philz coffee is my favorite coffee spot in OC! I can't rave enough about it. Their coffees always…read moreget me wired and locked in. The coffee is delicious when served sweet and creamy and the staff is always nice to adjust your drink if you don't like it. I typically order the Iced Mint Mojito as its fresh, sweet, delicious and comes with fresh mint! This time I opted for the new seasonal Cashew Cocoa. This drink was also delicious, but a little too sweet for me, and if you don't like cashew milk I would opt for a different beverage. The pastries are on the sweeter side, so keep that in mind if you order the almond croissant or cinnamon roll, but the flavor is there. The blueberry muffin was probably my favorite as it was so moist and paired well with my coffee. This Orange establishment is nice and offers games (like most Philz') so you and your friends/family can play, while enjoying a coffee or pastry. The company even offers used coffee ground to take home for your garden - a full recycle moment! The staff is always pleasant and friendly, and each barista usually has a name tag in front of their station. If the place is busy (and it can be busy) you can also order online for a quick grab and go! The coffee, staff, and atmosphere keep me visiting the delicious Philz Coffee. Thank you!

    I've given Philz Coffee multiple chances, but at this point it's just frustrating and…read moredisappointing. The biggest issue is the customer service. Every time I come in, there are 5 to 6 employees behind the counter, but more than half of them are just standing around talking and laughing. It creates a distracting environment for the few people who are actually trying to work, and it shows in how slow and disorganized everything feels. What really pushed me to write this review is how often the app is completely inaccurate. I'll get a notification saying my drink is ready, only to show up and find that it hasn't even been started yet. Meanwhile, the person who is supposed to be making drinks is busy chatting with coworkers instead of focusing on orders. This isn't a one-time thing either. It's become a pattern, and nothing seems to improve. Long waits, lack of urgency, and poor communication make the whole experience frustrating, especially when you're paying premium prices for coffee. I used to enjoy coming here, but the repeated lack of professionalism and attention to customers has really turned me off. Hopefully management steps in and addresses this, because right now it feels like customers are not a priority at all.
