This little donut shop is a special spot for me almost every morning on my way to work. As I leave my home I call ahead to order a small mocha latte and a 1/2 dozen donuts to take to my work for my co-workers to enjoy. The mocha latte is absolutely good. The donuts are very fresh and so so delicious. They also have breakfast items. I love their ham/egg croissant . Great yummy quick breakfast place. . . read more

Service was good, donuts were soft and also good. The place wasn't clean, counters, floors and windows. $$$ priced high... 3 donuts and medium coffee $15.38 eek! read more

Well, I had my coffee but nothing to go with it. Looking around on Yelp for bakeries, Kelly's Donuts came up. Most of the bakeries opened later and I was up at 6. It was also a bit farther away near the Capistrano beach area and not in walking distance. The drive to it was nice though. Took El Camino to it and the freeway back to San Clemente. Friendly greeting when I was next. They have a number of donuts to choose from but also some baked goods as well. I ordered a chocolate croissant? danish?, let's say pastry, an almond pastry or was it a bear claw?, a flaky cinnamon twist, and a chocolate old fashion. I had to try the donuts too! LOL! Everything was very tasty! Great way to start the morning! They also serve breakfast items such as plates, sandwiches, and burritos. Nice that there's options available if you want something more. Definitely worth checking out! read more

Kelly's is a great little local donut shop and they do breakfast and lunch sammiches as well. My wife loves their tiger tails, and I go for the apple fritters. The ultimate works breakfast sammich is da bomb. Bacon, sausage, ham (or turkey), egg and cheese on a croissant... So good! You can change up the bread also. If you are a local, or just passing through, stop in and give 'em a try. They will do you right! read more

Best donuts in San Clemente. Always have my phone orders accurate and on time. And a huge selection.

Got a plain donut and a maple bar for four dollars. Taste fresh and not overly sweet at a fair price. Random find but I'm a fan!

Small location tucked away in a strip mall but dang they were good! I got three dozen for just over $50 which was a steal!! We got a huge selection but I personally tried the jelly filled and a sugar donut. Both were great! Highly suggest! Great value and quality read more

The donuts were ok. The service was ok. Not much byway if ambiance. I'll try somewhere else next time I'm in town.

Bagels are excellent. I come here once a week for my morning breakfast. It is delicious and I highly recommend

Your website says open til 3:30 today, however i was by at 3pm and you were closed. This is the second time this has happened where i was there during your posted hours but you were closed. I tried to call you, but the phone just kept ringing so I was no able to leave a message to this effect. Please change your website or stay open to the hours you state otherwise I won't visit you anymore. I walked 1/2 mile to go there so I was very disappointed, hence this comment. Kirk read more

Do you ever wake up confused, finding yourself indecisive where and what to eat for breakfast? Nearly 4 days a week, I consciously blackout and find myself in the parking lot of the golden masterpiece that Capistrano Beach has to offer, which is, Kelly's Donuts. If you're all about getting a breakfast sandwich, burrito or even just a BLT in the late afternoon, this is the spot to head to without question. While you're there, make sure you grab yourself a donut, or better yet a dozen, because these donuts aren't like those "Kripsy Krapp" ones, these are OG old-fashion style donuts. You know what I mean. If you don't, you should go find out for yourself. Wherever you find yourself on a hungry morning, make your way to Kelly's and you won't be disappointed. The ladies over there will take care of you, especially Nikki and Jasmine. This place is so good I don't even have to tell them what I want to eat anymore, they just make it happen (this is either an addiction I have yet to accept within myself or because Kelly's really is that good). If I could give this review 10 stars instead of just 5, I would still give them 11. #4 burrito add avocado, salsa on the side for the ultimate breakfast win. -Cory read more

We wanted some lunch and funny enough we tried two other restaurants before coming here and they were both closed. One of the restaurants was by Kelly's and someone out front recommend Kelly's for lunch. I just assumed it was only donuts and was surprised to see it wasn't just that. We all ordered some type of sandwich, some got breakfast. It was all very good! Thank you for being open and serving us delicious food! read more

Donuts are very fresh and their breakfast burritos are delicious! Service is great too!

Less than positive experience on last and final experience. My 2 friends waited approx. 15 minutes for there bagels with cream cheese. Reason from what I could tell is when we showed up & ordered there was just us & maybe 1 or 2 other people in store. After we ordered & stood there waiting a crowd showed up. Instead of giving my friends there order they were to busy grabbing the money of the new peeps. My friends finally said "this is getting kinda ridiculous"! So I ask the younger of the ladies what the hold up was? She didn't even reply to my question. Finally there order showed up. Oh I forgot The one guys coffee was barely 60% filled. When asked if they could put a little more in...yep you guessed it ATTITUDE !! Anyway there's a new place opening up across the way on Saturday called Dunkin Donuts. I'm gonna read more

Kelly's Donuts - Donuts Near Me - San Clemente, California

The food is fantastic but there is one employee (the one who wears the car apron) who is rude and a liar. She blames customers for her mistakes. Example- I asked for a glazed twist and received a chocolate. When I went in to get it exchanged she said I requested chocolate, which was not true, because it was for my son who doesn't eat chocolate and I know I asked for glazed. Additional example- their card reader had a communication error and timed out (which it had just done with the customer in front of me) and she told me it was my fault for entering the wrong pin, which I didn't and wasn't the error. I don't need to be gaslit over small customer service issues while I'm getting donuts and the fact that it's now happened twice really bothers me as it proves telling lies to cover mistakes is part of her character. Very disappointed. read more

My favorite donut shop around! They also make the best sandwiches. The owners are the nicest people.

This place was great they made an amazing sandwich with high-quality ingredients. And the service was on point also. The french fries were made fresh and they were hot and crispy absolute perfection thank you. But the one thing I will say is the doughnut that I had was mediocre. read more

I don't want to share too much because the lines keep getting longer and longer, but they have the best breakfast burrito in South Orange County. Their bacon is crisp, hash browns inside are crunchy and ratio of eggs to cheese is perfect. You can add salsa and jalapeños inside, too. My son likes to grab donut holes while waiting. read more

Q: Why the one star rating? A: Seeing a fly and several gnats in the pastry case after eating at any establishment will do it every time. (Bottomline: Dirty) That's NOT a f*k'n raisin with wings! - https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/kellys-donuts-san-clemente?select=rLmtpNsq7Lzx_TKzqSHE-A Small coffee - Free refills, mild blend ($1.50) Mocha double ($3.25) Ham, egg, and cheese croissant ($3.99) Polish sausage, egg, and cheese burrito ($5.49) Chocolate bar ($1.25) My yelp*views are usually longer in length and more detailed but there's no point in talking about the food, service, or anything else when a business has bigger issues with sanitation. - "Friends don't let friends eat @ nasty @ss, dirty establishments with fly sh*t on their bagels." Food: 3 Ambiance: 3 Service: 3 Value: 3 Bonus category - "Fly in the pastry case": -12 I don't care how good the food is, if you've got a fly and gnats in your pastry case where no one @ the shop notices, "You're goddamn dirty, period."

How does this place get 5 stars? No way. Maybe employees trying to seed yelp with 5 stars....sad. Walked in to somebody that stated they were a new employee. The digital menu kept moving around. Was hard to order an item from the beginning. Ordered a simple grilled cheese sandwich. How does a restaurant fail at that? Literally someone put two pieces of toast in the toaster and added sliced cheese after they came out. I showed the employee what was wrong and she offered to fix it. Fix it????? The so-called chef in back doesn't even know how to make a grilled cheese sandwich....do I need to go to the back and actually show them?!?! YOU COOK IT ON THE GRILL for starters.... Whatever happened to serving food hot?!? The rest of the order was not worth it. Fries barely warm if not cold. Never going back there ever again. Besides the fact that she gave me attitude. Wouldn't even bother with one star.....sad. Waste of money and waste of my time..... Need to get back to work... read more

My dad makes the best donuts here !! so yummy , you won't be disappointed. If you're looking for an amazing morning fix. Kelly donuts is the place to go! read more

Yummy donuts! Stop in for some fresh donuts and a great variety at that. The maple is delicious.

Always been a big fan of Kelly's! Been going here for about 8 years now and I can't believe I haven't posted a good review yet. This is your everyday typical doughnut shop look. The food and service however, has always been consistent, mainly because it's run by the same two people (they're a couple I assume) and they have always done a great job running this place. I love their sandwiches and blended mochas the most. However there are so many other things to enjoy, all made with fresh ingredients. I have not ordered anything I don't like here so far. Fair prices as well. It's always good to support your local small businesses & Kelly's out of all places truly deserves it. Yum! read more
