    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!

    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.

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

    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....

    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.

    These guys have the fluffiest, lightest, loveliest donuts I've had in SoCal, and great customer service!

    Deli Nerds -- your new Costa Mesa foodie find!…read more Comfort food, but with a cleaner twist!

Such a cute spot to hang out, eat, and enjoy the neighborhood vibe!

    First time here, and I've been wanting to try this place ever since I saw it on Instagram! The…read moreplace itself is super cool, and the sliders on a sword are definitely a fun concept. But unfortunately, the experience didn't live up to the hype. We waited an hour and a half for two sliders and macaroni salad, which, in my opinion, was definitely not worth the wait or the time. The kitchen got backed up, and they even had to stop taking orders/refuse service because they were so overwhelmed. What really surprised me was that they didn't offer anything to the people who had been waiting over 1 1/2 hours--not even a pastry or small courtesy item. Since they were getting ready to close, I would think offering some of the pastries that might otherwise go to waste would have been a nice gesture and would've gone a long way with the customers who had been waiting so long. Overall, I'm glad I finally tried it, but I'm not sure I'd go back for the food alone. Maybe I'd give it another shot if I was there for drinks and the vibe!
