    Says it's open but it closed
    Mayra G.

    Dude, the sign said it's open and I got extremely excited especially by the potent smell of the place that I ran over to order a few dozen but to my disappointment, it was closed. WtF! Sad times .

    Blue donuts? Yes please!
    Isabel T.

    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.

    10/10 service. The doubts are so tasty and they the perfect dessert for a late night snack. I will def be going back for more

    Really good donuts!

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

    Amazing donuts and the employees are the sweetest. The box the dozen comes with is so cute. Thank you :)

    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.... Apple Fritter - http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/famous-donuts-costa-mesa?filter_by_userid=True&select=LMRgP01XEqbjELJfcw8rIg&userid=mXl8GMozjLoraG7PyFHWkg#LMRgP01XEqbjELJfcw8rIg a bit overly sweet though as mentioned it was fresh http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/famous-donuts-costa-mesa?filter_by_userid=True&select=LMRgP01XEqbjELJfcw8rIg&userid=mXl8GMozjLoraG7PyFHWkg#0Ewn7M9Na7faFBqKS1mDhA Not so Famous Donuts is A-OK... bring your CASH, as with MOST indy donut shops it's CASH ONLY

    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.

    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.

    One of my favorite sandwich places in the world. Little Pickle subs are served on steamed sub rolls…read morethat are just perfection. And their pickles, I don't know what kind of witchcraft or magic they use, but they're just phenomenal. The Natural Sub is my go to, which comes on a wheat roll with avocado spread lettuce, tomato cheese, and turkey. Yum. Just the absolute best. This is not a fancy place at all, just a sandwich shop which has been around since the 1960s. Just good old-fashioned plain deliciousness.

    I gave this place two chances over the past two years. The first time I dined in. The second time,…read moreI chose takeout because the atmosphere felt so tense and unwelcoming that it was like walking on eggshells. Customers should not feel like they're intruding simply by placing an order. Both times, I received the same cold, dismissive service from the same employee -- a short woman with short black hair working the counter. The attitude was consistently unfriendly, bordering on hostile. The sandwiches are fine, but they're not good enough to compensate for feeling unwelcome. I'd rather go to Jimmy John's and at least be treated with basic courtesy. To top it off, I was charged for two sides that were never included in my bag. That's careless and unacceptable. After two identical experiences, I won't be returning.

First of all, the SHAKA SPUDS is like crack because not me buying one bag first and coming right back in for two more for the road. Ya'll this place is worth the drive (I'm coming from end the end of Orange County, near Camp Pendleton) the sandwich was perfect, hit the spot on what I was craving for and it SLAPS! I got the Greatfella Sandwich without the agrula and sauce on the side (I don't like my sandwich to be soggy) originally I ordered to go but the moment I open the bag and got a whift of that sandwich, I had to find a table to eat. With the addiciting SPUDS and this sandwich, I was in heaven and the combination of flavors *chef kisses* The Greatfella was so damn good, I ended up finished the whole sandwich in one seating and a whole bag of the spuds that I came back inside to order two more for the road and now it's on my list to come back when I'm in the area. The spuds were so crispy and fresh, and the perfect amount of thickness of a chip for their secret sauce (the star of it) and as I'm typing this review out, I'm eating the other bag and wishing I got more it. Will be coming back and getting a whole big of it, heck I'll bring my gallon ziploc. The services was amazing, I have to find my receipt to get the name of the lady who was working the front register, she was super duper awesome on taking my order. Thank you so much for recommending the spuds with my sandwich.
