When a good friend of mine claimed that Heidi's Donuts' Ham and Cheese Croissants were superior to Seaside Bakery, I was skeptical, but more than excited. Once I trekked over and ate one, I drove to my friends house (25 miles away) and slammed the half eaten croissant sandwich on her table and said: "ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME?!" Yes, that actually happened. But no...these croissant sandwiches weren't terrible. I just feel anyone making that proclamation should be roasted. Lol Sorry Sherry J. At $2.50, you can receive a pretty well-sized croissant that has minimal amount of ham and cheese. The jalapeno is integrated inside the ham too. The main difference between Heidi's and Seaside? Almost everything. At Seaside, the cheese is overflowing and the ham are thinly sliced but bountifully packed inside. The croissant is doughy and fluffy too. Heidi's does a respectable job, but pales in comparison to the infamous bakery in Newport. ----- Conclusion: In a time crunch and if in the area, I wouldn't mind eating it again and trying the donuts. Located in the Ice Palace plaza and next to Posse Bar, this spot closes daily at 8pm, except on Sundays when they close at 6pm. Extra Notes: -Accepts credit card -Decor could be changed to make it more inviting and lively -Tables were visibly dirty -Owners/employees were a little pushy, but accommodating -Parking isn't a problem -Restroom available upon request read more

Heidi's Donuts is the kind of place that defines the Sunday morning Donut Run. (You know, that's when you dash off to pick up a few donuts when you realize you'd woken up too late, and you're out of buttermilk anyway. Sorry babe, no pancakes for you!) "Hole-in-the-wall" is a perfect summary of the interior appearance, bringing to mind all the little dives that have somehow managed to hang on for a matter of decades, despite a general lack of decor, ambiance, or any kind of advertising; it's how you know that the food must be pretty good -- or at least, good enough for the price. Yes, Heidi's donuts are that. I would compare a Heidi's experience to the Donuttery in terms of store dinginess. As far as quality of donuts, Heidi's is a notch less outstanding. . Recommended: the cream cheese squares and the croissants that are filled with cheese and deli meats -- they keep those warm and toasty. Now THAT's comfort food! Also, their custard-filled donuts appear to have decent custard inside. Otherwise, the donuts are fresh and good but not particularly noteworthy -- just worthy enough for that last-minute dash to get breakfast goods, and better than anything else that Westminster has to offer at an early hour. I like the lady at the counter (one of the owners?). Good service, nice attitude. I hope God continues to bless this little family-run operation. read more

She is very rude and I ask for certain ways to make my drink and she flat out refuses to make it to my liking. I even met her know I am very willing to pay the extra topping like whipped cream and she flat out says no. She is also very slow in serving each customer that comes in to purchase and she has never said that you for your patience like if she is doing us a favor in selling us stuff from her place I ask for a box for my donut hole and mind you I tell her I will pay for the box as well and she refuses to sell me one. Her blended drinks are horrible!!! I go to Starbucks and they always make it to my request as well as Baskin Robbins I'm Santa Ana on 17th and Main St. they are the BEST EVER!!!! Don't purchase they are rude at Heidi's donuts!! read more

Pros: 1. Super cheap! I got a bagel sandwich with cheese, eggs, jalapenos and ham, a dozen donut holes and another caramel glazed donut all for under $6. 2. Fast and friendly service. 3. Bagel sandwich was super good! Loved that the crust of the bagel was crispy. Cons: 1. I saw a little fly buzzing around one section of donuts. Eesh. OVERALL: Loved the service, loved the bagel. I will come back for more donut holes and try out the croissant next time! read more

The ham and cheese croissants here are amazing. Always fresh and consistently great! Every other donut store I have tried in the area gives you one slice of ham and very little cheese, I feel like I am eating a plain croissant. Not at Heidi's! I can't go anywhere else when I am craving them. read more

My family have been going to Heidi's for years. Our favorite is the bacon and egg breakfast bagel. We've never been disappointed! The croissants are amazing as well. Customer service is always so nice and friendly.We definitely will go out of our way to stop by. read more

No gimmicks or frills just BOMB ham & cheese jalapeño croissants. Always devoured in the car ride home. I can never resist.

My brother and I have been hitting up donut shops from Seal Beach Blvd down to goldenwest on the east side of the 405 for some time trying to find the perfect apple fritter. Some had good size but were burnt or to too sweet, others were good tasting but have horrible size and so forth. I drive by this place daily but have never stopped. I Tried this place today and I must that their fritters are the best that I have ever soberly tasted for little ma and pa donut shops. Owner and his gf were also super nice! read more

Sweetest owners! Delicious not to sweet fresh baked goods, favorite local donut place!

Okay wow! The lady was so so so incredibly sweet & smiley, it made me feel so happy to be here. I originally only came to get one ham & cheese croissant, but they were FRESH out the oven when I got there so I had to get more. The pastries looked so fresh & pretty in the display so I also got some danishes. I really enjoyed the pastry to filling ratio & overall, everything here tasted so homemade & delicious! read more

Every is baked fresh and the staff is friendly. Kids got donuts and I tried the turkey, egg, cheese and jalapeño croissant. They served it panini style. Yummy read more

Standard doughnut place. Not terrible but not great. Would come back to grab a quick donut if in the area.

This place sucks!! They charge $1.10 for 1 single chocolate bar and 1 dozen is more than $11 bucks! Ha what a joke! Will not be going there again read more

The owner is definitely not a good person, they put on a show for customers, but they are greedy. maybe 10 or so years ago, I sent my then 8 year old son to get both of us 2 croissants while I was waiting for dry cleaning (there used to be a dry cleaners in the same plaza down a few shops) the price of a croissant was 2.50, i gave him 5 dollars. When he came back from the shop, he only had 1 croissant, I asked where the other one was, and my son said that the croissant was 5 DOLLARS. The OWNER, had overcharged my son for one croissant sandwich, I was so disgusted that they would take advantage of a young child just for 2 extra dollars. DISGUSTING practice, I hope they go out of business for taking advantage of a young child like that. This had only happened once, but who knows how many other young children walked into that donut shop and had their money stolen from them by an adult who should know better, it felt so predatory. read more

I finally found a great bagel. They offer both plain and onion bagels. Owner made a fresh pot of coffee for me. The bagel was great and toasted to perfection. Way out of my way, but I will return. I bought a second bagel for eating later at home - can't eat just one. FYI, each bagel is hand made and rolled. I have a ceramic plate toaster and the one I made at home tasted even better, if that is possible. Calories here I come. read more

Heidi's is your classic neighborhood breakfast stop. The lady there remembers every face that walks in. A lot of items sell out here, so there is usually fresh one being put out regularly. They have a lot of breakfast options, & croissants are definitely something to go out of your way for. Also, of all the shops in the area, they have the best coffee available. If you're passing through, or have some time you need to occupy, I would suggest popping in & grabbing yourself a morning/mid-day snack. read more

Just moved down the street and the hubby wouldn't stop talking about the donut shop he used to go to as a kid. Soooo, I finally stopped by this past week when I needed donuts for a work potluck and I was pleasantly surprised. The place looks like a normal mom and pop style donut shop, but the service is awesome (they knew all their regulars' orders when I was in) and their donuts and croissants are by far the best I've had. I had the jalapeño ham and cheese and was in HEAVEN! Even their vanilla iced coffee was exceptional. If you're in the area, definitely make the effort to swing by and treat yourself! read more

Loved this place. The little tiny lady behind the counter was very informative, friendly, and patient with me. I came for a turkey and cheese croissant, based on the reviews... whoever said it rivals Seaside on the Peninsula was false! Maybe I just got it at a bad time, but it was nowhere near the perfection of Seaside. Now you're probably wondering why I gave it 5 stars, it's a donut shop, not a croissant place, so the perfect score is based on the 8 donuts I ordered. There was a good selection, I ended up with 2 french (chocolate and creme), a maple claw looking thing, chocolate sprinkle, orange, classic twist glazed, cinnamon, and at her recommendation a cream cheese pastry. They were all great. My brother is a maple bar fiend, he said the maple claw thing was better than a maple bar, it had a bit of a crunch to it and all the amazing flavor. The cream cheese pastry... she wasn't kidding when she said it was their specialty! I loved it. Wasn't too sweet and it wasn't too flakey. It was just the right consistency and taste. Melted in my mouth, took every thing I had not to eat the whole thing. I'll definitely be back for that. The rest were very good as well, but those were my two recommendations. read more

I have two donut shops right by my house. Both suck. Not all donuts are created equal. This place is so good! Their maple is amazing and they have maple donuts that look different that the others. They are slightly thicker but not cake donut thick and the outside is crunchier. AMAZING!! And they have this square cheese thing. Try it!! read more

Great donut shop! I took my daughter here after turning to yelp reviews. It wasn't too far from our home and worth trying. LOCATION: Right off Springdale next to the large Ice Rink. Plenty of parking and right on the corner. Clean and well laid out. STAFF: Very friendly and helpful. The lady working was very patient as we attempted to pick out a random dozen. FOOD: Very fresh food. The donuts were softer then any I have tried. We got a dozen donuts and a small chocolate milk for $10.50 Great place and we will go back for our donuts here. read more

Such a great and friendly staff, food is always fresh and donuts are always stocked with loads of options to choose from! Love this place!

Great donuts. Big size. Great flavor. Was able to just taste a couple. Friendly staff. Donuts are about 1.00 each. Coffee was fresh.

Maple bar was good. Fried perfectly and the maple wasn't overpowering like Dunkin makes theirs. However the orange icing on their one donut was so-so. It was interesting...I'll give it that...but just so so. The breading was good though. My wife got a glazed cruller. The inside was still pretty doughy and a little raw. The flavor was good...but like I said, raw. 3 stars because of the maple bar alone. read more

Wife's cheese Danish raspberry croissant was excellent, UNFORTUNATELY.....my donut on 2nd bite had a 3 inch hair baked into the donut. Needless to say, i lost my appetite. read more
