    This is my third time here in 2 weeks. Came to get another taste of goodness, try something different, and support local. The peanut butter cup was delicious and decadent, cookies and cream, maple pecan and strawberry shortcake were all fabulous. I really enjoyed the vegan/gluten free chocolate base with Reese's peanut butter drizzle. A bit more dense and cake like, but really amazing! Lots of sweetness and indulgence. The staff is kind and helpful. Cute interior. Seating inside and some bench spots outside.

    I just realized that this is a chain! Still, a cute donut and coffee shop. At a time when food prices are rising and quality often declines, this place delivers friendly service and good donuts. I often stop by for a donut and a cup of coffee and enjoy the cozy, unpretentious décor.

    I was hungry when I got here. Its a steep walk up the hill from the pier. I ordered the Bostonone creme, and a chocolate chocolate along with a Cappuccino. These are some of the best doughnuts around. They are messy so don't forget napkins. Customer service is amazing. I never knew about the rewards program before coming here. This location is tiny compared to others but it's still the best doughnut shop around.

    So cute, love the vibe of this little donut shop. The girl at the register was very friendly as well. We stopped to 'try' a donut before dinner, yikes. But I don't regret it. I'm gluten free so I really can't tell you what the regular donuts tasted like, but from what my family said, they were pretty good and they didn't last long. Mine, it was a gluten free blueberry with a white cake. It was good but a little crumbly, and I think the powdered sugar on top was a bit too much. Some people though like that so I'm not knocking it. I'd recommend this place, would love to see the succeed here in San Clemente ;)

    My family & I love a good donut, granted we are very picky! These are fantastic! The texture is kinda between a donut and croissant, super yummy and chewy! We tried the French toast and it was fantastic! The ambience is super cute and the staff is very helpful and friendly. Cole was great! plenty of seating inside and outside. Highly recommend!

    These donuts are delicious! I had the blueberry, and my husband tried the french toast. Both were incredibly fresh, soft, and not greasy at all.

    Super cute doughnut shop! Friendly staff and honestly some of the best doughnuts I've had! I got the sandy beach and it was so good!!

    Not sure who greeted us at the door, but she was very informative and sold us on trying the donuts. We tried the churro donut, and the cookie dough donut and both were delicious. My preference would be the cookie dough one, since I'm not a huge fan of cinnamon. But again, both were super tasty. These donuts are different than the usual ones, and I believe are more like cronuts (layers of pastry). If you're in the area, I would definitely give this location a visit.

    WOW!!! Parlor donuts is without a doubt going to become a new San Clemente staple! The staff is friendly, the vibes are good, and the donuts are SPECTACULAR! I love that they market "Fresh" and deliver on the fresh! I got their best seller --Sandy Beach Donut-- and oh my wordddd! It's revolutionary! Cole at the check out as great and informed me about the it app! He also told me how it was their big grand opening which is so fun!! Seemed like a great turn out and for how busy it was, the staff made turn around time quick! All things considered, I'm veryyy excited to make this place one of my new go to Donut shops in San Clemente!

    Got here 8:30am and the employee informed us they hadn't placed all the doughnuts out yet.

    I had a parent gift me some of these donuts before so I was thrilled to see a new location down the street from me. Yes these are fancy donuts and a bit pricier than most but they are so unbelievable good! The peanut butter & churro ones were delicious! Can't wait to try more of their selections.

    I got a vanilla steamer and it is delicious! So happy that they opened one in San Clemente, as I've only ever been to the Oceanside location. Would recommend both locations!

EVERYTHING BAGEL W/ CREAM CHEESE (5 star) Not a revolutionary menu item, but excellent none the less. The cream cheese is whipped so it's easy to eat and they spread it generously. 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.
