Friends and I came around 11 AM, unfortunately all the pastries were sold out so we decided to try the crepes. I shared a mushroom crepe and also got mimosa. Mushroom crepe was large portion, good enough for two people to share as a large snack. Filling to crepe ratio was good, although a sauce would have been nice. We tried our friends smoked salmon crepe and we liked that better. Overall solid vibe with not too heavy food. Would love to try the pastries my next visit.

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.

We always order the chorizo breakfast burritos, and they are absolutely incredible. Every ingredient is perfectly balanced- just the right amount of chorizo, eggs, cheese, potatoes, and everything else. Nothing overpowers the other flavors, and every bite is just perfect. And I have to mention the orange juice... it's fresh-squeezed and SO good. You can immediately taste the difference, and it pairs perfectly with breakfast. If you're looking for the best breakfast spot in the area, stop searching. This is the place! Not to mention- their waffle sandwiches are also absolutely incredible!!! We'll definitely be coming back again and again! Amazing service every time!

There's plenty of seating and parking is spacious so really not hard to find. We ended up ordering the veggie omelet with two proteins, it really filled me up and I appreciated how generous they are with their portions. Of course we had to order some waffles, mine was filled with every fruit imaginable and saved it for later which was a great snack. It's quaint inside and you really can come here anytime when craving a sweet or savory treat. My coworkers enjoyed their meal as well and we left pretty satisfied. Cute place worth checking out.

Haven't been here in months and there were many changes. The prices are ridiculous. Even if I can…read moreafford to pay, it's still the principle. We should have walked out. The quality and taste of the bagels have gone down or maybe I expected the quality and taste to go up with the prices. The ingredients didn't appear fresh at all and they did not include cream cheese spread on our sandwiches like the previous staff used to do. Everything tasted bland and... just "yuck" as my kids put it. No bueno. The store was also dirty with crumbs all over the seats and trash on the floor. They apparently don't wipe anything down anymore. We couldn't find one clean table to sit at and they weren't even busy! The previous staff was no longer there. Now, we see very young staff members who aren't as polite and patient. It was as if we were wasting their time. Why do they even bother working at a place like this if they hate human interaction? That was the impression I got when the cashier boy kept walking away to do other things as I was in the middle of ordering like he was annoyed that I didn't have my order ready to give him all in one shot. It wasn't like I was just ordering for myself. I was ordering for two other people. I don't know if this bagel shop is under new management but whoever is running this store needs to re-train their current staff on what "customer service" is. They also took forever to complete our order. This will definitely be our last visit. We spent over 50 bucks for a few bagel sandwiches and a coffee! That's insane. Food sucks, prices suck, and even the new staff sucks. No thank you. I'd rather take my business elsewhere to Laguna Niguel or San Juan when we're craving bagels again. Audios.

I've seen this place every time I stop at Starbucks to get my coffee and always thought, "You know…read morewhat, let's try it today." WOW. Absolutely wow! For a second, I felt like we had been transported to Europe. The pastries here are incredible, and the service was magnificent. We had such a nice gentleman helping us, and he recommended the guava Danish. I'm SO glad he did. It was amazing! We also tried the jalapeño croissant and the banana crème Danish, and everything was delicious. Needless to say, we'll definitely be coming back!
