One of the only two places that makes Thai Tea that reminds me of Vietnam. Run by a small team, they keep this place open 24/7, which is crazy. I make 3 AM runs from Fullerton down to Newport just for their Thai Tea with my boyfriend or by myself when I get stressed from school. Because they are located right by the beach, I can get pastries and just sit by the shore for hours listening to music and watching the sun rise. It's such a vibe! Please support them and tip whenever you can! 10/10 Vietnamese nostalgia approved! read more

Seaside Donuts Bakery - Bakeries Near Me - Newport Beach, California

Location is perfect, although I was lucky to have come on a day with extraordinarily light traffic. The prices were very reasonable, especially in comparison to some other bakeries I've seen. I had the raspberry jelly-filled doughnut and green thai tea, but I found both to be just barely too sweet-- but then again, that's coming from the person whose ideal dessert is "not too sweet." Overall love this place!! read more

Simply a great local donut shop with casual vibes near the pier and beach. I love that it's open 24 hrs. No matter what time I'm in the area, I can count on Seaside to satisfy a sweet tooth or coffee needs. The prices are hard to beat, too! One of my favorite items is the jalapeño, ham, and cheese croissant. They warm it up nicely when you order it, so it's flaky, and the cheese is warm inside. You can't go wrong with any of the classic or specialty donuts as well. They always taste fresh and pair well with hot coffee or hot chocolate. What a way to start a morning. They also offer blended coffees, smoothies, a few bagels, Thai and flavored teas, milk teas, and bottled beverages. They don't, however, offer breakfast sandwiches or other sandwiches. The staff is kind and attentive. This place gets busy in the morning and surprisingly late at night. There's parking in front of the sidewalk and a few lots around. Paid/metered parking begins at 8 am. read more

The jalapeño ham cheese croissant is very good! So soft and flavorful filling inside. I like how the workers toast it up for you. Everything is very reasonably priced and service is quick even with a long line! The workers are very nice as well. I love the unique flavors for the donuts such as the Thai tea one. The frosting on top was really good! I would skip out on the iced green Thai tea though as that was way too sweet for me. Overall a great place to grab something quick! read more

A must visit everytime i'm in irvine/oc area! their green thai tea and their donuts just don't compare to other bakeries and boba shops. The lines get so ridiculously long, but honestly, the workers hustle and they get us to the front in no time. You're not permitted to hang out around the shop unless you're waiting to be helped, so no standing around after you get your order. This shop is small, but very mighty. i love coming here everytime. read more

Seaside Donuts Bakery - green thai tea - Bakeries Near Me - Newport Beach, California

We all know Seaside Donuts Bakery offers delicious pastries, and has for years. Recently they have become known for the local spot to get Thai Green Tea, Boba and ramen in a cup. There is usually a crowd out the door, but don't let that stop you from coming. The line moves fast. read more

We did indeed come here at 1pm instead of 1am, but wow the green thai tea did live up to the hype LOL lt was like $4 for a small, but the small size was a pretty big cup. Where else are you gonna find that in this economy!! It was reallyyy sweet though, but I feel like if you're coming here you should be craving a pretty sweet treat! The fruity pebbles chocolate donut was solid too! I also tried the ham & cheese croissant and it was sooo tasty but it was definitely a little soggier than ideal after they warmed it up. I wish the croissant was crispy. But it did balance out all the sweet treats haha. Service was so quick and workers are so sweet! read more

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! read more

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!! read more

There's so many donuts, pastries, and drinks to choose from, which was really nice but also a little overwhelming. Even though many people like their iced thai green tea, I did not enjoy it since it tasted like medicine and was super sweet. However, their ham and cheese Crossiant and donuts, specifically the sugar twist were very good. There was a line that didn't take too long around lunch on a weekday. The place is very small, so there's no seating inside or outside. Service was okay, since the cashier wasn't very polite or welcoming, but it was quick to get my croissant heated up and to get my drink. It's very close to the main beach area, so parking is very limited and expensive. read more

Seaside Donuts Bakery - Iced Thai Green Tea - Bakeries Near Me - Newport Beach, California

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. read more

A classic SoCal staple for many years now. I've heard this place for so long but never got to check it out till now. Located on Newport Beach. Parking was a pain for Labor Day weekend. We had to park pretty far because they blocked off the parking lot near this bakery. We came here on Saturday night and there was a line outside. We waited maybe 10-15 mins until we ordered. The place is very small and when you're inside it felt very crowded. They have 3-4 workers running the counter. They had a huge selection of donuts on the display. They also have pastries, snacks, drinks like coffee and tea and instant ramen. Open 24/7 so I can see why they are so busy. I got the green Thai tea donut ($2.25) and my friend got the chocolate croissant ($3.25). When you get the food you can tell it's fresh because it was warm to touch in the bag. Hopefully, I can try their other items on the menu next time. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Seaside Donuts Bakery - Crumb - Bakeries Near Me - Newport Beach, California

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. read more

Turkey, cheese & jalapeño croissant warmed up = taste of heaven. It's been a hot minute since I've had one... probably over 15 years. Tastes as good as the first time I tried it with an old, old love. Had a tiny moment of sweet nostalgia this morning. I also ordered the strawberry cream cheese croissant to try to balance out the savory/spice. I think next time I'll try to come with a friend or family member to split the sweet croissant in half. Had no idea Newport had a farmers market on Sunday morning. Got to enjoy looking thru all the vendors this am. read more

Came here around 9am on a Sunday and it wasn't very crowded but we still had to wait in line. The donuts are more affordable than I expected which was a pleasant surprise. I ordered the Thai tea donut which was so flabbergastingly amazing it made the 40 min drive worth it. I also ordered the ham and cheese croissant and green Thai tea. Both items made my entire year because it is that good and flavorful. They are all pretty sweet though and I have a huge sweet tooth so it was perfect. The location is right next to the beach and the Sunday farmers market. The sidewalk is nice for a stroll. I parked in a parking lot a few blocks away closer to the street which was only $2 an hour. But it fills up super duper fast and it was almost full even at 9am. read more

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. read more

Came here to see what the hype was all about. It was later in the evening so there was no line. Walked right in and placed our order. Just a typical donut store with glass shelves to see the donuts. Not the most friendly staff. No line behind us or in front of us but we felt like we were being rushed to hurry up and decide what to order. We purchased 6 donuts some of which were chocolate. We also bought one ham and cheese jalapeño croissant. He warmed it up and put it in the same plastic bag with our chocolate donuts!! Who does this?!? Apparently the shop worker did. Needless to say our chocolate donuts were ruined and I had some upset kids! Taste of everything was ruined due to the experience. I will not be returning. read more

When people talk about iconic donut shops in Orange County, Seaside always pop ups. A staple of Newport Beach since the 80s, it's always been a popular late night hang out spot for local college kids or elder millennials up past their bedtime after a show at the local club. We went here recently after a show at about 2 AM and stood in line for 30 minutes for two donuts and a drink. The donuts are continuously made from scratch and there were never shortages. The thai tea matcha donut was quite tasty and the custard donut (Boston creme analog) always slaps. Parking is easy at night, but during the day can be limited with parking. read more

Stopped by to check out this popular donut spot! It was good, but nothing really blew our minds. We got the cronut, blueberry donut, maple cake donut, chocolate donut, and chocolate croissant. Cronut: I was most excited to try this one and ate it immediately as we left the store. It was too doughy and not enough croissant texture. Disappointing :( Blueberry donut: It was good, but I've had better (M&Ms in Anaheim) Maple cake donut and chocolate donut: both were pretty good and standard. You can't go wrong with these classics! Chocolate croissant: Saved this one for the next day to toast in our air fryer. It was good, but again.. nothing too special. It could have been from anywhere. Seaside Donuts is located in a nice beachfront location that elevates the donut eating experience. There's paid parking around the area. Also, there's a 4% charge to use credit card here too! read more

Seaside Donuts is a Newport Beach institution. Open 24 hours, it's popular with locals and UCI students. I came in the morning and found no line, but have heard that it's more popular at night. My daughter said the must order items are the green Thai iced tea and the ham and cheese croissant. Their croissants are pretty reasonable - $4.50 for the ham and cheese. Definitely have them heat it up if you're eating there. My husband got the turkey, cheese and jalapeño ($4.75) and enjoyed it at the beach. I don't know what kind of cheese they use, but it's got the perfect melt. I got a spinach and cheese croissant ($3.25), which paled in comparison. I can see why Seaside is so famous! Free parking in the lot after 6pm. read more
