I just finished enjoying a burrito at Alejandro's and saw that this shop was still open, now it was time for some dessert. I went in and saw a good looking cinnamon roll and bought that to eat in the morning with my coffee. That didn't last long as I started picking at it and finished it before getting home, yes it was that yummy. read more

Some friends brought donuts over a while back. And one of the donuts was blue. My kid has been asking for a blue donut ever since. So on Saturday morning i schlepped to this spot with my kid only to walk in and discover (gasp) no blue donuts. The kind woman there didn't bat an eye and said she'd make me some. She did and because the icing was still wet for the transport home she gave my kid another donut (white with sprinkles). i can't rave enough for the service. Three cheers for famous donuts. read more

Fresh/delicious donuts and great service. They also have a water filling business next door.

Good place for donuts. It's in a nondescript strip mall but the donuts were fresh and delicious. Friendly too. Will return!

The donuts were piled on top of each other and the place is a dump! It was dirty and looked like cockroaches take over at night.

Great place, very homey if you're from the area. Hidden gem with great donuts and the employees are great people. Don't listen to the people who leave bad reviews because they're from out of town and don't know how the place works. 12/10 donut shop, super affordable and great quality. read more

My first visit. The donut selection had my favorites. Nice folks that greet you with a smile. I will definitely get donuts here again. read more

Famous Donuts - a box of doughnuts - Donuts Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

election is very very limited... says 24 hours but nothing after 10:00 pm. Why are they even open if they aren't going to have good selections? Also, I went and the door was closed I figured the window next to the street but a fellow patron had to tell me, the man inside saw me but completely ignored me and let me stand outside while I was looking inside. Kind of rude that a customer had to explain the window on the side to order instead of the worker inside, doing whatever he could to avoid me looking inside. read more

I liked the place very friendly people. I have an idea for you guys. Do something with Peanut butter. Every Donut shop makes the same thing... Take a chocolate bar, fill with peanut butter and do the same chocolate on top, Wallah a New business idea.. Try it and let me know.. Mike read more

What's so Famous about these Donuts?....... I don't know either! just another Asian owned Donut shop with an average selection of the basic dounts.... that's all you get!. I will say I did hit this place up mid-day and donut was fresh, selection was limited so I grabbed an Apple Fritter....

My boyfriend and I stumbled across Famous Donuts while we were in the area. Location isn't great and the store seemed really empty :( We decided to peek in and a nice little lady helped us choose some donuts. Not going to lie, the interior of the store doesn't look that clean but the lady helping us was really sweet. Taste-wise, it was okay... Granted, it was probably 6 or 7pm but if you open a donut shop, you should always have fresh donuts. Might come back if I'm in the area. read more

Standard donut spot, so so donuts, good selection and nice staff. The donuts were fluffy and not overly fried but they didn't go big on taste or flavors. The apple fritter had all the I ingredients for yummy but they didn't come together quite right. The chocolate sprinkled was tasty but again just a fluffy donut, not rich with chocolate flavor? If you live close or are driving by it is worth a stop but nothing to go out of your way for. read more

Their donuts all taste like a deep frier. Honestly worst I've had. This place is close to where I live so I was really hopeful I had a good walkable donut place, but this just ain't it. read more

This place has the BEST donut holes. The glaze, sweetness, and dough is perfect! Melts in your mouth, fresh and soft. I love donut holes and have tried them at different donut places in OC, this one wins! I need moooore! read more

I haven't tried anything else but their croissants. My favorite chocolate croissants in all of OC... can't say in the world since you could find an amazing croissant anywhere in Paris! =P Like everyone said - it's a mom and pop shop and cash only. So don't expect hipster customer service. You would think at this point people would stop getting offended or shocked when an old asian dude doesn't greet you. More than likely weren't born here and just trying to make a living. For what they provide I think they do a great job and I'll continue to come here when I want a good croissant! read more

Hidden spot with the best croissants and big variety of donuts.... Get the ham & cheese

Service here is always friendly and welcoming, it shows in their donuts. Come early because the donut holes here which are so delicious runs out quickly. I'm a big fan of their ham and cheese over some pier side donut shop nearby. Their bacon croissants are pretty good too. This is my go to shop when I have a few minutes to spare and get my coworkers a lil something before work always a good way to start out the day and earning a donut after a workout! read more

Great little donut shop! Always fast service when you need to get in and out. The owners is So sweet and always greets you with a smile. The donuts are delicious and the croissants are the Best! (You Must try the Ham and Jalepeno) It's definitely your neighborhood family owned donut shop. Lots of "regulars" come and sometimes a line out the door! It's a hidden secret for the east side of Costa Mesa! Worth checking out! read more

Very friendly and nice people at the shop. Their donuts are soft and fresh. It will be my favorite store!

I always come here for there hard boil eggs, coffee, and donuts. I live right next door. But yesterday night was the last time I'll ever set foot in this crappy place. There are good people who work here during the day and morning But. The Old guy who makes all the doe in the night I came over to grab some donuts and a hard boiled eggs. I was very polite to the old guy but he was a complete A-Hole to me! As I told him what I wanted he just walked away and continued to do what he was doing like he didn't even care. I asked again for help with what I wanted and he had turned around again and told me to F-Off! Like wtf what kind of place is this I can't believe they would turn me down a regular customer who lives next door who comes everyday. Can't believe it. That's the LAST TIME I GO HERE AGAIN!! read more

Used to work here. It was fun while it lasted. Donuts, sandwiches, ice cream, sigh so much things to choose from.

Saw the great reviews on this place and had to go and try the donut holes.. they are bomb!!! And the owner was so sweet to me. Highly recommend! read more

Went in around 2pm. Donuts are well priced. I'd say a dollar and some change for a donut. (Most donuts are $1). Glazed donut was really good. Definitely fresh and tasty. Really good!! Going back for more later this evening. read more

The donuts are good here. Sometimes they're out of the donut holes which sucks cause that's what I really like him sometimes or donuts or a little dry but other than that it's really close to my house and great price they also do like a half dozen only five bucks so that's not bad. read more

Yummy donuts and love the extra donut holes when we occasionally get them. Great family-owned business.

5 stars for service! Ordered a coffee and a jelly donut; when I got home I looked in the bag and found two bonus donut holes! Thanks!

This is the best place for a ham and cheese croissant! Been here about 50 times in the last year haha

This place is trash. Cashier handles my money then goes and spreads cream cheese all over my bagel with no gloves. Dirty little guy behind the counter too so who the F knows where your hands been. Ewww. On top of that coffee was cold. Avoid this shit hole read more
