    Store front
    Alvin H.

    This donut shop was always situated in front of the church (St. Bonaventure Catholic Church), which I've always attended when I was little, yet I never once walked over here in the 24 years that I've been going to church. I've been going to church daily and one day, I decided to drop by because I was in the mood for some donut holes. I've also read on Yelp that they have freshly squeezed orange juice. The store seems very popular as you can always see people going in and out, even having a lottery machine. I decided to buy an orange juice and donut holes. The store worker instantly grabbed a fresh orange juice from the fridge that was already sealed. The orange juice, though freshly squeezed, still had a lot of pulp in it. I would give it a 4/5 yelp stars. You might ask, why I would give this establishment a 5 yelp stars despite the orange juice? Well, the DONUT HOLES more than made up for it. It is perfectly glazed, fresh, and is sold for 3 dollars a bag. As I am watching my sugar and calories, I asked for 2 dollars' worth of donut holes. They were the most delicious thing I have ever tasted, even beating local donut shops or even chain donut shops. From this point on, I am a lifelong fan. Other donut shops have stale donuts, but these are fresh because on the weekend, you can see how they bring a mountain of them on a pan, set on top of the counter, as it seems to be the #1 seller. I will now stop by this donut shop after mass from time to time, as they just earned a new fan. The local store deserves recognition by the Yelp community for the donut holes alone.

    1. The donut was fluffy, the smoothie had a good texture with the blend, and the sandwich was comforting! 2. The spot has fast-casual vibes! 3. There are only a few single tables inside! 4. The staff were friendly and timely with my order! 5. Parking lot is small, but it doesn't get busy! Note: There is no customer restroom!

    There are one million donut places in Huntington Beach. This is not a true statement. There are a lot of donut places in Huntington Beach. Each one has a different personality, menu and pricing. This spot has great fresh donuts, the usual reheatable ham and cheese croissants and freshly made breakfast croissant sandwiches made to order. They also have bagels - the bagel guy was delivering a couple of fresh bags while I was there. Very friendly staff - mom and teenage daughter when I went Monday. Ordered the #5 for myself - 3 meat breakfast croissant with eggs, cheese, add avocado because I'm a goddam pig. $7.99 For my husband, a dainty sausage, egg and cheese croissant $6.49. Honestly we're like Jack Sprat and the wife. My husband is a buttermilk bar afficianado and this place passed with flying colors. He loved the flavor and texture. $1.50 each. I love any filled donut - raspberry filled, lemon filled, custard filled... and this place did not disappoint. $1.75 each. The only bad thing while I was there, a richy rich mom with 3 bratty out-of-control children. Doors left open on their SUV outside meant they took up 3 parking spaces. The "cute" 3 year old girl helping herself to drinks out of the cooler while the owner's daughter told her "those cost money." All 3 "angels" were SO LOUD. I locked eyes with another patron and we shared a WTF look. But this had nothing to do with the delicious food, service and pricing. I'll definitely be returning.

    Donuts are fluffy and delicious! Not overly sweet or oily. Lots of variety. Quick service. Easy parking. Friendly.

    Turkey crosssiant sandwich from Gavin donuts.  Can you see the 1 slice of turkey.

    Went here 11 minutes before closing and it was closed. I love donuts in the evening. So sad. Is this common?

    Hello thanks for inquiring! On some odd days, we do sell out a bit before closing time, so we will close early. Feel free to give us a ring to check first. Hope to see you soon!…

Our waiter was incredibly kind, attentive, and made sure everyone at our table was taken care of. I have food allergies, and he took them very seriously. He double-checked with the kitchen to make sure my meal was safe, removed anything I couldn't have, and even gave me some great recommendations. That level of care meant a lot to me. We were a pretty large party, and somehow every single order came out exactly as requested. There were no mix-ups, nothing was forgotten, and our waters were constantly being refilled without us even having to ask. Our waiter was truly on top of everything. The food was absolutely delicious! I ordered the steak cooked medium rare, and it was cooked perfectly with amazing flavor. One of my friends let me try a bite of her salmon, and oh my goodness...it was so good! I already know that's what I'll be ordering the next time I come back. The mocktails were also fantastic and paired really well with the meal. The restaurant itself was spotless, including the restrooms, and the atmosphere was beautiful. The ocean views made the experience even more special and were the perfect backdrop for celebrating my birthday. I would absolutely come back for the incredible food, amazing service, beautiful views, and overall great atmosphere. Thank you for making my birthday celebration such a memorable one!

    From the moment these cocktails hit the table, I knew Jolie wasn't messing around. They were…read moreabsolutely gorgeous and tasted even better than they looked. The purple cocktail was one of the most unique drinks I've had in a long time--light, refreshing, perfectly balanced, and not overly sweet. The presentation with the charred pineapple was such a cool touch that made it feel like they really care about every detail. The second cocktail was just as impressive, with bright citrus flavors that were incredibly refreshing and perfect for a warm Huntington Beach evening. The atmosphere at Jolie deserves just as much praise as the drinks. Sitting outside during golden hour with the ocean just down the street made for the perfect setting. Whether you're on a date, catching up with friends, or just looking to unwind after work, this place has an amazing vibe. The staff made us feel welcomed from the moment we walked in, and you can tell they genuinely want everyone to have a great experience. Jolie has officially become one of my favorite spots in Huntington Beach. It's rare to find a place that nails the drinks, the atmosphere, and the service all at the same time, but they absolutely delivered. I already can't wait to come back and work my way through the rest of the cocktail menu because if these two drinks are any indication, I'm in for a treat. Huge shoutout to the entire team--you've earned a customer for life!

    Jolie has a beautiful setting with a great ocean view. We sat at the inside bar, which wasn't busy…read more The bartender was friendly enough, but not very attentive. We also checked out the rooftop afterward. It's mostly tables and lounge seating, but the ocean view from up there is definitely worth seeing. I ordered the lobster roll ($32.50). Unfortunately, there wasn't much lobster for the price. Looking at it without the lettuce (and even next to my sunglasses for perspective), it felt pretty skimpy. The lobster itself was tender, and the toasted roll was good, but I expected a lot more filling for what it cost. The fries were crispy, and the herb dipping sauce was a nice addition. We also shared the Spicy Tuna Stack. It wasn't really spicy unless you happened to get a piece of red Thai chili in your bite. There was more mayo than needed, which made the dish a bit bland overall. The sweet pickles underneath added an unexpected sweetness that actually worked well, and the crispy rice was my favorite part. Still, it wasn't something I could eat much of because the flavors became a little too rich and one-dimensional. The Goat Cheese Artichoke Blossoms were good, though a bit bland. They were crispy and enjoyable but could have used a little more seasoning to make them stand out. Overall, Jolie is a nice place to grab a drink and enjoy the views, but the food didn't quite live up to the prices. If I'd come back it would be for the atmosphere, but I'd probably order something different next time.
