Really amazing little spot, heard about this place from some colleagues and had to try it, once i was there i heard about the owners and had to get 3 dozen donuts and take them to the office. They were all very nice and amazing, very friendly. The donuts were fresh and great, i even had some colleagues tell me how amazing they were, and of course i told them where to go and to get them. Thank you so much for the amazing fresh donuts i will Definitely be back soon. God Bless you, and your amazing family. read more

The best donuts ever, a family owned and very friendly the price is very great too definitely recommend

The donuts are a perfect early-morning pick-me-up and the owners are always a kind face to see.

Quintessential mom and pop donut shop in a prime location on PCH. I have driven by Donut City a million times and am so glad we finally stopped in to give them a try. The interior is minimal and charmingly dated, yet immaculately clean. At 9am on a Saturday the case was brimming with every classic flavor you could hope to find. The young guy working was super friendly and helped me choose 12 different varieties to try. One dozen donuts, a coffee, and a milk came to just $16. The coffee was fantastic-a nice nutty medium roast. My favorite of the donuts I tried was the Old Fashioned, which was delicate and moist on the inside, with a crisp, sweet exterior. The Buttermilk was equally impressive for the same reasons. Their raised donuts were also excellent, with a vanilla scented airy dough and icings/toppings that provided the perfect amount of sweetness. They accept all credit cards. Highly recommended. read more

Folks, I think something happened to these owners. This morning by 630 everything had been sold. News crew galore...whatever it is my prayers to your family. The support from this community is tremendous. I went to the VA just passing by decided to stop by. To my surprise this happened. I am just speechless and in these election days that the country is more divided this is proof that there is more good people than not. To all thank you and my thoughts and well been to the family. read more

Great old fashion and twists. Very soft and delicious! Better come early or you will miss out.

This is the only place in Southern California you should be buying donuts! Donut City just made national headlines when Seal Beach rallied around its owners after finding out that the wife of the duo had suffered a brain aneurysm and he was running the place by himself. Decades this place has served SB with love and its coming full circle! Good aim Karma! Oh and Yes the donuts are excellent but the energy is even better. Stop by, grab a sweetie (or 12!) and enjoy your day! read more

Great neighborhood mom and pop donut shop that has been around for years. I've been driving by forever and wondering and the wondering is now over! Great donuts fair prices and friendly service. I always try the basics to judge a donut shop. Like trying a pizza, I like to start with cheese only to judge the vote basics. I had a glazed, glazed old fashion, glazed jelly and small Apple fritter. All staples of any donut shop worth its salt. Well they were all delish and the glaze was perfect. Just the right amount of glaze (full coverage) and very fresh. Ample jelly in the jelly donut even though I'm not a fan of seeds of which there were very few. The Apple fritter was great as I usually don't get them anymore since they are huge but a small one was just perfect. I think they are getting thru the pandemic but it sure isn't helping so if you are hankering for a donut give this place a shot. Worth a drive to check out. read more

Been to a lot of donut places, this is one of the best nationally for all around fresh good classic donuts. They don't offer any of the artesan, fancy stuff. Just the classics made the absolute best and the most important, at a fair value. Went to one of the yahoo best of the best spots, donut was 9 bucks, was a good donut, but left a bad taste when I realized did the value test. The donuts here are simple, well made, and my wife and I get two donuts each, coffee, and out for less than 5 bucks....amazing. They are really nice people, open early, and have a lot of regulars. The only negative to this location is if you aren't there by 9/10a their choices are limited since they close at 1. read more

Great place. I am so grateful to the wonderful owners and really appreciate them being in town. Good food.

The freshest donuts I've ever had, thin crispy outside and soft fluffy inside with an appettizing glaze on the top

We stumbled upon this little donut shop on Yelp. It doesn't look like much but man it was busy. Donuts were awesome and fresh. Our friends that live in Seal Beach never been but they will be regulars now. We tried 5 different types; apple fritter, chocolate raised, maple dip and old fashion glazed. We got two croissants jalapeño ham and cheese and ham and cheese. They were fantastic. Sorry forgot to take a pic of the donuts so here is half of the jalapeño croissant. read more

We are longtime customers of Donut City. Love their donuts and friendly customer service.
