    Crumb
    Steph G.

    Coming here for decades. And usually never on a weekend especially during summer but today we happen to be in the area and popped in for an nostalgic doughnut. I kind of blacked out and didn't take any interior photos, but I took one of the small line out front which curves around the building. It moves quickly, so bring your patience and be nice to people. I think the donuts always taste really good. Not too sweet. Good selection always well stopped especially at 10:30 in the morning. They have a good assortment of coffee drinks as well as cold beverages. Their steps from Newport Beach and the pier. Parking can be very challenging on the weekends, but there are some municipal lot. I like the crumb doughnut and I also love to give you two little donut holes just a really nice family.

    While walking along the sidewalk in Newport Beach, California, my daughter and I caught the irresistible smell of fresh donuts. We looked at each other and instantly knew we had to stop and get some! When we walked into the shop, we were greeted with a warm welcome and a friendly, "How may I help you?" They had a wonderful variety of donuts, but we already knew exactly which flavor we wanted. When my daughter placed our order, they asked if we wanted a dozen. Of course! We couldn't resist taking home a dozen of our favorite. The service was friendly, the shop was super cute, and the donuts were absolutely delicious. If you're in Newport Beach and catch that amazing aroma, do yourself a favor and stop in you won't regret it!

    Seaside Donuts never disappoints! Definitely a must try when you're in Newport! I love the blueberry old fashioned donut

    The Strawberry Smoothie ($7.00) was HUGE. The Green Thai Tea ($4.50) was highly recommended, but it was too sweet. The Ham & Cheese Croissant ($4.50) was delicious! It was warmed up and the cheese was very melty. My Apple Fritter ($3.00) was burnt. Overall, this place has great prices with relatively good food. We arrived around 8:30pm--total wait time of ~20 minutes for all food/drinks!!

    Donuts are mid. Green Thai tea is really good though. Great spot to enjoy the food on the beach! Always the go-to for late nights, and it never disappoints.

    This spot is a staple of OC. I've been coming for the past 10 years whether it's during the day or at 2am. It's 24 hours which is great. Almost all the time, there will be a line out the door. It's a small shop located in front of the beach. The workers are friendly and work quickly. I love their green Thai tea and ham and cheese with jalepeno croissant. The green Thai tea will definitely keep you awake if you're caffeine sensitive. An awesome spot to come with friends for a bite at the beach or late night snack.

    Cam here super late at night on a Saturday and it was surprisingly not as fisted as it could be. Probably because it was Coachella weekend and the usual crowd is there instead (just a hypothesis, don't shoot the messenger). We had around 10+ people ahead of us, but the line moved super fast and most of those people were just a cluster of people in the same group/party who didn't want to get separated. Workers were super efficient and they have the system down to a tee to handle the larger crowds. Went in to order and left with everything in around 5 minutes tops. Pretty polite and friendly with the limited interaction as well. We got 4 donuts and 2 drinks and this was under $20, I believe, not too bad considering there's more egregious donut places out there. We got their green/regular Thai tea and the green/regular Thai tea donuts. Donuts were not too sticky had the strong green and regular Thai tea taste to them. Still had a nice texture the next day, but even without it being too cold, the icing stuck to the paper and mostly peeled off, so my brother had to use his teeth to scrape it off, but still good. Just an FYI so you can take them out and put them in a different container if you want to avoid this. The drinks were standard green Thai tea and Thai tea drinks, a bit sweet, but that means you can just take it home and dilute it out later. Location is great for being around the beach and near so many things to do, so they draw in a crowd. Being 24/7 is a huge plus too. Though these things are standard with some other donut places, which makes me think that this is an overall standard donut place too. No fancy bells or whistles, except the Thai tea flavors and I guess the cronuts. We were able to find free street parking and just walk there which wasn't too bad. Can't imagine how fisted it is during a more busier time though. Good to try at least once in your life.

    Definitely not what it used to be. We came in late morning on Saturday. There was a small line which is much better than nighttime. We ordered 3 croissants, cream and jalapeño, Turkey and cheese, Turkey and cheese jalapeño, and a green Thai tea. All the croissants felt like there was too much bread and not enough filling. I had to eat more than half of the bread to find very little cream cheese inside. The bread on this croissant is better than the one for the Turkey and cheese though. Green Thai tea was good but I the regular is much better. Green Thai tea has a more floral taste, kinda reminds me of pandan-ish.

    Seaside Donuts Bakery is a reliable 24-hour spot in a prime Newport Beach location. The donuts were pretty standard, but the jalapeño ham and cheese croissant was our favorite. It was nice that the staff offered to warm it up. The main draws are its affordability, convenience, and grab-and-go setup. No seating, and parking is paid unless you're lucky to find space in the nearby neighborhoods. Bring cash for the 4% discount.

    Stopped by Seaside Donuts Bakery while visiting the beach, and it did not disappoint! The donuts were fresh, soft, and full of flavor. Everything tasted like it had just been made, and the quality really stood out. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and provided quick service even though it was busy. The location is perfect for grabbing breakfast or a sweet treat before or after a walk along the ocean. If you're in the area, I definitely recommend stopping by. I'll be back the next time I'm in town!

    Hellllll yeah! I love a donut place that is simple and not complicated. I don't need a ton of crap on top of my donut. I just want a simple, chocolate glazed donut, which is what they have! This is a grab and go place and their prices are so good. It wasn't expensive at all like I thought it would be due to the location. I got a chocolate glazed donut with sprinkles and a banana. They also have muffins and croissants as well. They're also SO fast. The staff was really nice and just go straight to the point, which I appreciated. Even when we were in a longer line, it went sooo fast because everything is really grab and go. Again, no where to sit inside, but hey, grab that donut and take it down to the beach or pier. That's all you really need. We came back two days in a row because it was so tasty.

    Kim R.

    Stopped in for an afternoon donut last weekend. My husband got a cronut and I got a glazed old fashioned. I had a bit of the cronut and WOW it was phenomenal. *drool* We both said that it is better than our current, now previous, #1 cronut that is/was at a donut shop by our house. The old fashioned was also tasty.

    Marlene P.

    If you're by Newport Pier you have to stop by and get a donut. This is a very nostalgic spot that has been around ever since I can remember and their prices are definitely reasonable. The service is good, they're quick and efficient.

    Zack deserves a raise just for surviving my friend's donut decision…read more My friend stood there for what felt like an entire season of a TV show trying to decide which keto donut to get. Zack never rushed him once--he was patient, friendly, and had a great attitude the whole time. The funniest part? My friend works out like crazy, counts every macro, and analyzes every bite... only to spend all that time deciding before finally saying, "I'll take all three." Double Dark Chocolate, Vanilla, and Chocolate changed his mind went OUTSIDE got more money for 3 more. Thanks for hooking us up & much for narrowing it down! Huge shoutout to Zack for the exceptional customer service and for making us laugh. Great employee, great energy, and amazing patience. We'll definitely be back!

Parking: we went at night when the other businesses were closed, but I can see it being a problem during the day if the other businesses are just as busy. Service: service was quick. Unfortunately the girl behind the counter was not having a great day- not welcoming or very helpful. Ambiance: busy busy busy! Ordered seven donuts for $21.78. Tried four of them. My personal review: *Raised crumb- 2/5 it wasn't really crumb, more like sugar. *Chocolate glazed- 4/5 Chocolate was rich *Chocolate cake donut with sprinkles- 4/5 donut itself was yummy but the sprinkles were a bit too crunchy *plain glazed-5/5 probably my favorite. The glaze had a nutty/ coffee flavor to it- yummo In all this place wasnt bad, but it wasn't the greatest. Plus side are the hours this establishment has.

There are benches across the window so you can kind of hang out there or walk up/down the fun little street while enjoying your treats which are served in separate paper boats for easy handling. Service was great. You can either order from the window or order inside but that's probably more for ice cream. Service was quick. I ordered from the window and they made your banana right in front of you. Then you pay. Easy peasy. Although both places I tried were excellent, I prefer Dad's because: 1. Banana came in different sizes. 2. The banana was more ripe and sweet. 3. They had a better variety of toppings/coatings like almond, granola, and coconut. But the butter brickle topping that was so yummy! We don't have anything like this in the SF Bay Area so I was in heaven! I would come back here next time!

They've got all sorts of different options for the frozen banana, including Oreo, toffee, chocolate chips, sprinkles, or a combination of a whole bunch of stuff. This is one of two banana places, but in my opinion, this place is superior. Everyone's going to have an opinion about that of course. But it's a classic environment and you can also get ice cream there. Overall, five stars and unnecessary stop on any trip to Balboa Island.

    Shoutout to Gary and the Duck Donuts team!…read more I usually order Duck Donuts for team meetings on EZ Cater, maybe 3 dozen max at a time with 1-2 coffee buckets. I recently had a very large order and did 45 dozen (540 pieces!!) directly with the store. Gary was very quick to respond and helpful with the flavor reccs/modifications. We did: glazed, french toast, chocolate with chocolate sprinkles, chocolate covered strawberry, strawberry w rainbow sprinkles, and vanilla chocolate swirl. Day of, Gary was on time with the delivery (even with my last minute time change due to another delivery). Everything was accurate, fresh and carefully packaged. Duck donuts was such a hit! My favorite flavor is the French toast. Highly recommend!!

I ordered the coffee cake donut expecting a coffee cake flavor, but it was covered with a white powder and powdered sugar that didn't resemble what was advertised at all. The chocolate donut wasn't any better. It tasted like it was made with cheap, overly sweet ingredients, almost like high-fructose corn syrup. Neither donut tasted good or of high quality. To make matters worse, I ended up with a slightly upset stomach afterward. Overall, this was a very disappointing experience, especially considering the price. I won't be coming back.

The donuts are all so beautifully made, colorful, and fun. I chose one of the seasonal flavors, Lime Pistachio. It's nutty, a little crunchy, tart, and sweet with a good balance of flavors. The donut is soft, chewy, and fluffy in the best way. I had no idea the donuts were vegan and I'm not vegan myself but they were so decadent. A very kind Japanese family owns the place. Service is very welcoming and friendly. The shop is a little hidden away by Red & blue vintage and Seabirds. Definitely treat yourself to one of their gourmet donuts next time you're out shopping here.

    When I told my husband I wanted to try this "Vegan" doughnut place in Costa Mesa, he scowled and…read moresaid he didn't want any "Vegan" doughnuts. But he humored me and we headed to the Lab to try out these Instagram worthy vegan doughnuts. We got the Minibox which is a great value at around $12 for a sampler of six mini doughnuts, and we also got 2 Regular sized Glazed doughnuts, a White Chocolate Sprinkle doughnut, and a Cinnamon Roll. Every single doughnut was pure bliss in every bite. Even my husband who HATES anything vegan devoured two of the full sized doughnuts and ate half of each of the mini doughnuts. He said they tasted better than most other doughnuts he has ever had and would never have known these were vegan if I had not told him. I, also, am not a vegan and tend to avoid anything labeled vegan, but I also loved every single bite of these doughnuts and will definitely be back for more. Here are my favorites: Glazed Doughnut: Perfectly soft and slightly chewy texture. Not too sweet. 5/5 Cinnamon Roll: Perfectly soft yet chewy texture. Great cinnamon flavor. Not too sweet. 5/5 Lemon Poppy Seed mini: Real Lemon flavor, not too sweet and not too tart. Perfect texture. 5/5 Triple Berry mini and Pistachio Berry mini: Both tasted like real fruit jam. First bite was not too sweet but second bite was a bit too sweet for me. The mini size is perfect as I think any more than two bites of each would have been sweet for me. Chocolate: Not too sweet, not too rich, not too much of anything. Very good. 5/5 Matcha: I can't really remember this one probably because I'm not a fan of all things matcha. It wasn't bad because I loved everything I tasted, but not really memorable like the others. Will definitely get the cinnamon roll and Minibox sampler again next time... and the Glazed... and I want to try some of their other doughnuts too.
