My go to donut spot! I frequent this place at least twice a week and never have I been disappointed in the quality. The couple that runs the shop are extremely polite and they know what I usually order. My go to donut, the chocolate bar! Crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, the chocolate is not overpowering and just plain perfect. Did I mention that its only a buck and some change, unlike other fancy donut joints. read more

I wanted to love this place! We were looking for a new donut shop in Costa Mesa and this has a very high rating. When we walked in, the woman behind the counter wasn't wearing a mask. I said, "No mask?" She said, "I got mask," and looked toward the kitchen. We're seniors and used to go for donuts once a week and now haven't gone in months because of the coronavirus. The State regulations call for masks in public and have very definite regulations for places serving food. We won't patronize any business unless the staff are wearing masks. Who wants someone coughing on their food in these times? read more

Was terribly craving a donut, and not just any donut but an apple fritter. I don't eat donuts often. A quick search and decided to try this place. Is a small mom and pop donut shop. Reviews look particularly good so headed over to get my apple fritter. I was disappointed. Was a bit over cooked and had barely any apple or spice. It was huge and looked double frosted, but I really wanted a spicy apple filled treat. Everything else looked about the same. Probably not bad for your typical donuts as most of these reviews are raving about them, but for me I don't eat them enough to eat a marginal donut. read more

I don't like leaving anything less than 4 stars - however, sometimes you come across an establishment that earns the dreaded 1 star. In this case, "Any Old Time Donuts" earned a 1 Star today. *******Warning******* CASH ONLY!!! It's a big deal these days- I mean, companies have accepted various forms of payment for a long time lol. If you're like me, I don't carry cash often- rarely really. I have Apple Pay, too many cards etc... but they only take cash here. Unfortunate because I would've spent $6 in donuts, instead I spent $2. That's all!!! read more

For years my husband brought home the most delicious donuts. Yummy little pink boxes simply appeared filled with delicious assortments; though I never knew from where. We are talking years. One day I got my nails done next door to Old Time, and ran in to take him home a treat. I was driving his car, and the shop owner recognized it! Holy cow. Apparently this was THE source of all those delicious filled little pink boxes we'd been enjoying forever. The shop certainly doesn't look special, but looks can be deceiving, and they are, because those folks KNOW THEIR DOUGHNUTS. We've probably sampled nearly everything in her cases over the years, and all I can offer is: Fresh fresh fresh and always superb. Sure it's gluten and fat, calories and carbs; and if we're gonna go down that particular road of indulgence, then it should be worth it: Their doughnuts make it worth it. read more

I have been frequenting this mom and pop donut place for 10ish years and it is always consistently good. I especially like their cinnamon rolls which have different topping options. I love the maple and the traditional they are cooked well slightly crispy outside NEVER wet undercooked on the inside. Same with the Old Fashioned. They have good prices too! I am writing this review because I drove through the place on Newport and the donuts were gross made me realize how I take this place for granted. The décor and strip-mall is old and tired but not dodgy ( I secretly want to rename this place Donuthole in the Wall haha). Service is pleasant and there is often a group of Old Timers sitting out front. Right now (Covid) outdoor eating only. Proprietor was wearing a mask. A big name chain is coming close by -probably scary for them. Please help support small business! read more

These donuts are really delicious. Problem is there are always fruit flies in the case. Also, they are never open. There are no posted hours so you just have to try and see if they're open.

I usually prefer yeast doughnuts over cake doughnuts, but these doughnuts were not dry or heavy at all. I ended up ordering the Butter & Salt doughnut and an Americano with brown sugar sweetener and huckleberry cold foam, while my husband ordered a plain cold brew. We waited outside by the pick-up window after ordering. Service was fast for the doughnut and my coffee, but they seemed to forget about my husband's cold brew, so I had to ask about it after a few minutes of waiting. Not a big deal, just was surprised it took so long when it was such an easy order! We both enjoyed the buttery/salty doughnut, and my coffee was delightful! However, my husband said the cold brew was just okay and it was packed with ice to the point you couldn't stick the straw in the lid. Overall, our first experience at this location was good, and we'll definitely be back to try more of Sidecar's delicious doughnuts! Might pass on the cold brew though!

Maybe they've been overhyped on social media to care about the customer experience..

I was in the area and wanted to grab a cup of coffee, and since this café was the closest one, I decided to give it a try. Very clean and cozy, great place to come read a book/study. When I arrived, the café was pretty full, with only one table left! The staff were incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. You can tell they genuinely know their coffee and care about what they serve. The vanilla latte completely exceeded my expectations and is honestly one of the best coffees I've had in a long time. I'll definitely be coming back!Highly recommend if you're in the Costa Mesa area.

I got the honey matcha latte as is. I liked that the honey part was drinkable, but the matcha was not coming through much. All of us felt the drinks were watery. Probably just needed more matcha/espresso? Luxurious ?vinyl green booths line the walls, with light wood and bright interior. The greenery was a lovely touch. Seems like a pretty place to work or study. Cat shirt merch was very cute. I probably would get the green shirt if it had a small design on the front left and maybe bigger design on back rather than a large design with words om the front. Hopefully, the drinks will improve as they are open longer. Hope to come back and try again!

It's also small and cozy- a nice chitchat spot! The staff is also friendly and outgoing. Service is quick as well. My friend got the double matcha, while I had gotten the ube matcha. The ube matcha was good. It was very creamy and had a prominent ube flavor. My friend said her double matcha was good, but a bit pricey! With the substitution of oat milk, her total came out to $9! We concluded that if we're in the area and arent sure what cafe to hit up, we'd probably visit this spot again for some matcha!

The matcha was incredibly smooth, earthy, and had the perfect milk-to-matcha ratio. It actually tasted like matcha instead of being diluted by a giant cup of ice. I tried both the regular iced matcha with blueberry and the special iced matcha with matcha cold foam, and both were absolutely delicious. The only downside is that the parking lot is a bit small, but that's a minor issue. This location is located behind the Wahoo's Fish Taco Overall, I really loved this place and will definitely be coming back to try their other drinks

this place is AWESOME! i have been going here for years and the owners are super duper nice and helpful! the donuts here are so sweet and yummy and the dough is just mhmmmmm. (that's the sound you make when you eat their donuts). i really enjoy their low prices and their donut holes. it is so ingenious to sell donut holes because they're literally the holes of the donut. like how did i just RECENTLY learn that. i love that the donut holes are the perfect size for swallowing them in a single bite! i got a dozen for a reunion that i went to and they were the highlight of the party. i also LOVEEEE their cream cheese croissants but they sell out fast some days so you should come early to try them! their pineapple and cheese croissants were interesting and tasty as well but i love the OG. it was a bit too sweet for me so i would recommend just the regular cream cheese ones! i'll also glaze their glazed donuts. they are the love of my life, my one and only, the awesome, original, glazed donuts. boy oh boy where do i even begin??? these donuts...honey, my sweet treats. i have loved you ever since i first laid eyes on you at any old time donuts. the way you glisten under the glaze and strike a craving into your admirers' hearts. your soft, airy interior, and that delectable icing. i would do anything for you. i wish it were possible to have an endless supply of you so i would never have to experience the disappointment of being without you until the next day when i step foot into this donut shop. you, my glazed king, have given me so much joy and satisfaction over the years. i remember when i first tasted your sweet, glazed goodness, and it was like my taste buds found their true love. not only have you changed my donut game forever, but you've eternally changed my world. i love you, my glorious glazed donuts. it's so simple yet they just nail it on the head. well obviously, they should, given that they have been in business for THIRTY PLUS years!!! omfg that's older than me. 5 FREAKING STARS! read more

I probably wouldn't have tried Old Time Donuts if I hadn't seen it pop up online, but I'm really glad I did. It's one of those spots that's easy to miss, tucked away and no-frills, but it's the real deal. The maple glazed donut was excellent: simple, fresh, and exactly what you want it to be. No gimmicks, just done right. This is the kind of place that reminds you why classic donut shops still matter. Definitely worth stopping by if you're in the area. read more

This place is the best place to get donuts. They are so good and my kids love to go here way too much! I really enjoy their donut holes and whenever I bring them with me, the owners always throw in a few extra for the little ones. It is very cheap and the best place to go in the OC! read more

They are able to accommodate a few different diets and there is signage indicating what has dairy and what's plant-based.

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.

I ordered the Californian on an Asiago cheese bagel (egg, avocado, tomato, red onion, cheddar, and your choice of meat). Service was quick, which I appreciated. The only thing that threw me off was the cream cheese. My husband and I didn't want a plain bagel, so we asked to add cream cheese and were charged an extra $2 each. I guess I just assumed cream cheese would come standard with a bagel and not be an add-on. Anywho, the Californian was good, and I'd order it again.

I've been coming here forever, and I've never had a bad experience. Their lox bagels are just to die for! They definitely don't skimp on the lox either. They load it up with plenty of smoked salmon, a nice amount of cream cheese, fresh tomato, red onion, and I always love having that pickle on the side. The jalapeño and cheese bagel itself was toasted perfectly, with that nice crunch on the outside while still being soft inside. Everything together was so good, especially with the amount of lox they put on there. I've been coming to for years, and there's a reason I keep coming back.
