    A cold, sad, POS, disgusting sandwich .  smd
    Pablo R.

    You can improve the SHITTY sandwiches you make. Those sad, overly priced, cold, sandwiches for $8.75 - Absolutely disgrace to your business. All my life ive been to a donut shop and never ONCE where the sandwiches poor. This place is a disrespect to the donut shops everywhere. Makes sense 3/5 stars should be 1 STAR and close down. Generation dishonor to your whole family blood line

    Hello, this is your standard donut shop although the donuts are very good and I appreciated that they let us know when they had fresh ham and cheese croissants out the oven. It was pretty bustling on a Sunday morning. The coffee is not fancy and they don't carry any sugar-free syrup or sweet and low/sugar substitute but all in all you go here for a doughnut and you'll get a great one.

    Ham & Cheese Croissant - Dry croissant, old ham. Below average.

    Rating strictly for their Ham & Cheese Croissant. $5.95 + tax. Saw the mixed reviews but they were the closest donut shop and was short on time. The croissant was visibly dark on top and sure enough was hard. The ham inside was dry too and overall didnt taste fresh like it was made the night before or overcooked. Overall disappointed. 2 stars at best.

    Plain and Swiss cheese Croissant

    Got a Swiss cheese and plan croissant and the croissant was hard on some parts and warm on others it also came folded up as well. I also got Donut holes that were warm and kinda to sweet.

    I love this old school donut shop in San Clemente. Nothing like a long-standing community family business. Every time I go in there the donuts are well-stocked, fresh and delicious. My go to is the crumb doughnut, vanilla cake and a ham and cheese croissants. I've had other things like the breakfast toast sandwiches and croissant sandwiches. I've also had a few of the milk tea and Boba drinks. My only complaint is when I ask for less or half sweet for those beverages, it never comes that way. The milk tea is very sweet. I love that they've been taking credit cards now for a while. There is parking right out in front. Reasonably priced.

(Eggs, American cheese, add ham and cream cheese on an everything bagel. It's got everything needed for a tasty breakfast that you can go work off later. 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.
