SERVICE - located in a big shopping complex…read more- plenty of parking available in lot - good amount of seating indoors and outdoors at at tables for up to four people - need to order at counter and then they call out your name when your order is ready - staff are very friendly and welcoming - depending on the time the order can take a few minutes to be made - ambiance good for a casual meal or snack MENU - smoothies, juices, and other refreshing treats - all vegan/vegetarian - average price FOOD - launch bowl (6/10): banana date coffee base topped with chia pudding, berries, granola, and cacao nibs. This one sounds like a decadent chocolatey treat with mocha flavors. I am not a huge coffee fan but wanted to try the mushroom blend and the chocolate protein that comes in this one. The coffee flavor is quite strong and there is a significant punch of caffeine so if you need something to wake you up the get this. My favorite part was the chocolate drizzle on top. The smoothie itself was very icy. I got multiple chunks of ice as I was scooping through the bowl. I am not sure if that is a one off occurrence or because of the nature of the ingredients. WOULD I GO BACK? Yes but I would get one of the fruitier bowls rather than this one.

i came in around 4:30 and ordered an açaí bowl, the atmosphere is good, the service was concise…read morewelcoming and friendly, not only that but my bowl was great even with special requests and given out fast. my only gripe was that those were only because of the girl working tonight who seemed to be doing a lot of the legwork. when i walked in she was the only one in the middle of doing any work and when i walked out it was the same story, the guy working with her wasn't doing anything and just standing around not even looking for things to do (which were plentiful from what i saw, he could've been cleaning or stocking or prepping something). instead he stood around the register and i wanted to make sure that the manager knows that if they don't! i've had jobs before where working with my coworkers is the hardest part of my job and i'd hate to stop seeing such a nice diligent worker in the future. do your best to keep that girl on board bc she is a star and knows what she's doing!

It's a very small space next to Avillas Mexican. Lots of things to choose from…read more I went specifically for the cinnamon roll as I heard good things. I love custard so ordered 2 custard rolls. I'm used to the French versions so I have to say, do not expect the same. The dough is the same for everything here, it's a light slightly sweet sponge cake. Not chewy not dry. The custard was warm and I was not expecting that, I was expecting chilled. Not rich and not pudding but a different type of custard. The cinnamon roll same dough they just added the cinnamon and wound ot up instead of filled with custard. Topped with a little bit of icing, not frosting and not drizzle but icing. The service are just young kids and typical mumbles who don't look at you and since this was my first time here it was very difficult to get them to explain the items they just wanted your order and process the payment!!! All in all, not what I expected at all, but it's a Japanese bakery so was open to try. It's clean and cute and pretty tasty not too sweet! I would like to try the strawberry delights next!

We ordered the Kobo Kuma (of course), the Bacon, Japanini, and the Cheesy Jalapeño Panini. All the breads were delicious and so soft ! My only complaint would be having to wait when they're out of certain items but would love to come back and try their other breads !

I was going to go with a classic açaí, until I saw the blue spirulina coconut pineapple base. The worker even asked if we wanted a sample and then I was officially convinced. You can do a make your own bowl or choose from a couple options on the menu. I just did that base with bananas (super simple) and my friend went with The Tidal Wave (on the menu). One thing that really surprised me was that whole my bowl had many less ingredients, it was over a dollar more...? Not too sure why. The prices would be my only negative here, but everything else was fantastic! Great service and delicious ingredients!

The base was thick and not too sweet, which I liked and the fruit tasted fresh…read more Portion size was generous for the price. Service was friendly/a bit slow and the place was clean and chill.

Today I ordered the macro bowl with brown rice and no sweet potatoes, and I received lettuce instead of brown rice and a bunch of sweet potatoes. The last two times, my request for no sweet potatoes were ignored, but I've been ordering it that way for almost 2 years. I did get a refund this time, but now that it's been three times in a row, I wanted to leave a review. I stopped ordering for a few months and was hoping the first couple of times were just a busy season or a fluke. The order isn't cheap (around $30 for a bowl all said and done on DoorDash) so hoping this brings some attention to the issue because I don't want to stop ordering from here since the food is so good when it's correct!

While I haven't tried any of the drinks yet, which seem pretty healthy too, I did get to enjoy their Classic Toast - which is basically avocados, microgreens, crushed black pepper, and a balsamic reduction on a slice of long-fermented sourdough bread, for $11.50 - outside at one of the tables nearby, and it was a great experience for my physical and, by extension, mental health, due to the former directly affecting the latter. The staff were very attentive, courteous, professional, and inviting, which I appreciated since good food tastes better when it's presented by nice people. The vibe was almost cult-like in the sense that there were a lot of people there that seemed like they're always there and the establishment is a big part of their daily lives. They also had a nicely curated selection of foods like chocolate bars, dried mangoes, olive oil, etc., for people to purchase for their households, which was pretty neat. Overall, a nice spot in Dana Point for a dose of healthy goodness!

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.

The staff member also acted like we were inconveniencing her by ordering food here. Then she chastised my husband for asking for a bag for an order of 3 BOWLS. I'm sorry, what?? How else would like him to transport 3 bowls home? Just let them spill all over the car on the ride home? Seems like the type of person who is offended by EVERYTHING. Get better employees. Go to Açaí Republic instead! You'll get a ton of fruit and granola there. It's just up the street.
