Niguel Bakery & Donuts isn't just a place we eat -- it's where our kids grew up Let me get the obvious out of the way first: yes, the donuts are legit. Our go-to favorites are the chocolate cronut (dangerous), the glazed old fashioned, and their cake donuts -- the kind that remind you why donuts were invented in the first place. But here's what most people don't realize... The deli is a hidden gem. My wife's favorite is their American Mexi-Cal style breakfast burrito -- and for good reason. Huge, insanely good value, big crispy buttery potatoes, soft chewy tortillas, and a portion size that laughs at inflation. I recently had their Boar's Head deli-sliced ham and cheese on sourdough with lettuce, tomatoes, and pickles, and I genuinely don't have the vocabulary to describe how soft and perfect that sandwich was. It's not "good for a donut shop." It's just really good. But honestly? The food is only part of why this place matters to us. Our kids practically grew up here. Dave and Dani have known our family since before our kids were even born. They've seen both of our children grow -- literally from in the womb, to infants, to toddlers, and now our kids are 2 and 7 years old. We'll be posting photos through the years because... yeah, this place is part of our family history. That's not something you can fake. This is one of those rare neighborhood spots where you sit for hours in the morning, coffee in hand, talking with locals, laughing, and catching up. It's where the community actually feels like a community. The owners, Dave and Dani, are some of the kindest, most genuine people you'll ever meet. Dave is basically a big kid himself (especially when it comes to cars) and somehow always finds ways to surprise my kids with random little toys -- the kind of moments kids remember forever. I grew up in a small town in Virginia, out of my own mom's deli and convenience store -- where locals gathered over coffee, the Washington Post (and yes... cigarettes back then ). Living on the West Coast without family nearby, Niguel Bakery & Donuts gives me that same feeling of home. This is a place where kids can still feel safe like the old days -- riding bikes with friends, scraping together change for a snack... and if they're a little short and have been on their best behavior, Dave and Dani might just take care of them anyway. That kind of generosity can't be taught -- it's who they are. It's an East Coast bodega-style bakery/deli, right here in Laguna Niguel, and they don't just talk about community -- they show it through the countless non-profit events, food donations, and local causes they support. If you're looking for more than just donuts -- if you want great food, real people, and a place that feels like home -- this is it. We'll be here tomorrow morning. And the next day. And probably for years to come. read more

They have a great Ham & Cheese. The one I got was made to order and was served in a large fresh croissant that was cut open for ham and cheese. $6.60 out the door. I will have to come back to try their pre-made ham & cheese as well. Service could be friendlier. read more

Just tried this place out because I was craving a glaze donut and it's hard to find a good donut place. So many have a bad after taste and I'm not sure why. However, this place was perfect! It was great so I will definitely be back as I only live 10 minutes away and there are no good donut places near me. The lady who helped me was super friendly and great to chat with. If you haven't tied this place, you're missing out! read more

The service was amazing. We come here about once a month and love the fact that we get greeted upon entering. The food is delicious the kids love the fancy donuts and I love ordering their sandwiches. So good. read more

Delish wonderful donuts and muffins. Owner is a real gem, will return again for our family's donut fix.

This is not just a simple donut shop - their bakery items are stellar! We were very impressed when we tried it for the first time today. Service is warm, friendly and accommodating. (Tina, we love you!) Can't wait to go back for a proper meal; however, the bakery treats are incredible. read more

Haven't been here for a while. So wonderful to see the lovely owner still there, Ms. Dannie. She is always so nice and welcoming and always a smile on her face. I needed a coffee and got a fresh made Americano which hit the spot perfectly. I ordered the best Vietnamese coffee to go. Whilst I was there I couldn't resist the new Tiramisu cake and let me tell you OMG, it was absolutely DIVINE! It was so thick and creamy. It was made with mascarpone cream and I will go back there for this alone. My son loves these donuts and the the ham and cheese croissant. I took him home his favorites, the ham and cheese croissant and the apple danish donut and well, quite a few more. You really need to try the new cakes they offer. I love this place. Can't rave about it enough to be honest. Such a friendly environment.. lots of seating. Has everything you need. Love it. And love Ms. Dannie. read more

Great shop for a wide variety of donuts and sugar-loaded goodies. When I arrived mid-morning, a lot of the popular goodies were already snatched up. As with most donut shops, I'd highly recommend going early if you want to get your pick of the lot and choose from the freshest options. Thankfully there were still some basic sugar glazed donuts, cake donuts, filled donuts, bear claws, and fancier sprinkle donuts. In terms of service.. While the lady running the shop was nice, she was also a bit pushy trying to get me to purchase the cronuts on display (also pricier). I had to decline multiple times as I wasn't in a cronut mood. I caved to my inner glutton and ended up getting some of the bougie sprinkle donuts. They indeed are beautifully crafted - edible art. That's what drew me in. Didn't realize they were so much more expensive than the other donuts (I think they were close to $4-5 each vs the usual under a buck donut), so that was my bad. My bad also in purchasing those sugary sprinkle donuts because they are jacked up with SO MUCH SUGAR. After my first bite, I could feel the diabetus setting in. You immediately get an overwhelming, artery-clogging sugar rush. And not in a good way. I would be very careful giving kids a whole sprinkle donut. That would be very dangerous, so please proceed with caution. Many of the sphere sprinkles were also extremely hard, so be careful to not chip your teeth! The yeast and cake donuts themselves were good. Soft, good texture. Exactly what I hope for when I get a bakery fresh donut. I would consider coming back for the basic cake and yeast donuts, but would definitely skip the sprinkle donuts to prevent my life-expectancy from drastically dropping a few years per bite :-) read more

Cambodian lady works here. I tried 5.99 doughnut four dozen and I pick up this morning. She said these are all made from yesterday not today. They should explained before pay off. Anyway bring home And I opened it. Oh my God this was all trash. And I count that has only 10 items. Not dozen donut inside. I cannot eat at all. No fresh. Already looks bad. Not recommended here. All trash. We throw away whole bags into trash. It looks not fresh at all. Not eatable foods. Don't buy here.!! read more

Good doughnuts very nice people I think that this place is worth visiting would recommend

People were nice, but please do not order anything other than a doughnut. Worst food I've ever had in my entire life. Unless you wanna pay $40 for a bagel and a microwave croissant the microwave egg microwave, bacon, and cold cheese. read more

Really bad experience - the lady doesn't understand "no caffeine or no coffee"!! Spiked up my kids drink with coffee and then denied it. Donuts are not nice either... looks like a lot of FAKE reviews are being put for this business... and it's dirty!! read more

We love this donut shop! We visit after our weekly ballet class at Tutu School, my girls look forward to the friendly service, and delicious and yummy offerings (their favorites include the giant cinnamon rolls, donut holes, maple bars and my personal favorite is their muffins). We usually opt for milk, chocolate milk, Martinelli's apple cider, or coconut water to go along with our donuts - but they have a plethora of beverage options and before pregnancy, I used to love their coffees (they're delicious). Also, the shop is very clean and beautifully decorated (lovely floors and I always enjoy their orchids). And there's a large selection of custom shakes/smoothies and handcrafted sandwiches - the pictures look incredible, but we haven't tried them yet as the donuts/muffins always win us over, haha. read more

Great shop for treats in Laguna. Everything looked really fresh and delicious. I stopped in for a weekend morning treat. I forgot her name but the lady working was so personable. She was chatting with everyone there. Although I stopped in for donuts I will be back to try their different sandwiches and drinks. The donuts were great. Super light and fluffy and great flavor. They do have seating for inside and outside.it's located in a nice hilly area so view is great. I'm definitely looking forward to coming back and enjoying some snacks outside now that summer is starting. read more

I always thought the donuts here were good and stop by for donuts and coffee. She made coffee from taster's choice instant. It was awful.

The lady behind the counter was sweet. While I was there, she microwaved the donuts. I realize that she did this to warm them up. However, when I got home and took the donuts out of the bag, a lot of the frosting was stuck to the inside of the bag. Also, when I tasted the donuts they were hard. Donuts should be soft and these weren't. read more

The best donuts I ever had! The lady was so sweet and kind. She offered me to try her ice Vietnamese coffee. It was good. Not too sweet and not too milky which I really like. read more

I really hesitated to write this review as I know it's tough for restaurants and take-outs now. I also hesitated to write this review as the apple fritter donut I got was excellent -- crispy, nice balance of apple taste with the fried dough - and my wife's chocolate donut was also excellent. The reason for the one star review was because the server did not wear a face mask and gloves. At a time when restaurants and take outs need to give people confidence to purchase their products it's more important than ever for them to have servers who wear face masks and gloves. That shows that they have concern for their customers' health as well as that of their servers. When I return to this shop and if the person is wearing gloves and a face mask I'm sure my score will be high. I really hope this donut shop reads this review and prioritizes their customers' and their servers' well being by having the servers wear gloves and a face mask. read more

Nicest lady always has the best donuts and coffee every morning. Always has a clean shop as well

This should be your regular donut shop. I grew up in Laguna Niguel and I returned with my family for the holidays. All of the donut shops I went to as a kid had either closed for good or were closed for the holidays. So I decided to try Niguel Donuts. And they did not disappoint! Price: The price was completely reasonable. Averaging around $1 a donut for high quality flavors. Flavor: These donuts had flavor! Around my house in Vegas, the donuts are very "Instagram worthy" but the flavor is terrible. These were just yummy donuts. My mom always craves lemon filled and rarely finds it. She loved hers! I tried the chocolate cinnamon twist and it was AMAZING! We got a wide variety and they were a huge hit with the family. Service: The woman at the counter was so nice and personable. She called us by name. She interacted with my 7 month old daughter. Honestly, I would grab my breakfast and coffee here everyday because interacting with such a nice, cool person in the morning would really start my day right. Location: Great location. Right off Niguel if you are heading to the coast. Also it is next to Sancho's Tacos which is one of our favorite places for lunch. We grabbed donuts and tacos and headed to the beach. read more

I got an old fashioned donut & it wasn't very good. But my daughter shared her toasted everything bagel with me & it tasted great! Then the nice lady gave me 4 donut holes for free. They tasted great & im totally happy! read more
