Absolute OC essential. Theyre open 24 hours, all of their donuts are awesome but I personally really love their apple fritters. The staff working are super quick and keep the lines moving. GET THE GREEN THAI TEA liquid gold read more

While walking along the sidewalk in Newport Beach, California, my daughter and I caught the irresistible smell of fresh donuts. We looked at each other and instantly knew we had to stop and get some! When we walked into the shop, we were greeted with a warm welcome and a friendly, "How may I help you?" They had a wonderful variety of donuts, but we already knew exactly which flavor we wanted. When my daughter placed our order, they asked if we wanted a dozen. Of course! We couldn't resist taking home a dozen of our favorite. The service was friendly, the shop was super cute, and the donuts were absolutely delicious. If you're in Newport Beach and catch that amazing aroma, do yourself a favor and stop in you won't regret it! read more

Came here to see what the hype was all about. It was later in the evening so there was no line. Walked right in and placed our order. Just a typical donut store with glass shelves to see the donuts. Not the most friendly staff. No line behind us or in front of us but we felt like we were being rushed to hurry up and decide what to order. We purchased 6 donuts some of which were chocolate. We also bought one ham and cheese jalapeño croissant. He warmed it up and put it in the same plastic bag with our chocolate donuts!! Who does this?!? Apparently the shop worker did. Needless to say our chocolate donuts were ruined and I had some upset kids! Taste of everything was ruined due to the experience. I will not be returning. read more

The Strawberry Smoothie ($7.00) was HUGE. The Green Thai Tea ($4.50) was highly recommended, but it was too sweet. The Ham & Cheese Croissant ($4.50) was delicious! It was warmed up and the cheese was very melty. My Apple Fritter ($3.00) was burnt. Overall, this place has great prices with relatively good food. We arrived around 8:30pm--total wait time of ~20 minutes for all food/drinks!! read more

Seaside Donuts Bakery is a reliable 24-hour spot in a prime Newport Beach location. The donuts were pretty standard, but the jalapeño ham and cheese croissant was our favorite. It was nice that the staff offered to warm it up. The main draws are its affordability, convenience, and grab-and-go setup. No seating, and parking is paid unless you're lucky to find space in the nearby neighborhoods. Bring cash for the 4% discount. read more

This spot is a staple of OC. I've been coming for the past 10 years whether it's during the day or at 2am. It's 24 hours which is great. Almost all the time, there will be a line out the door. It's a small shop located in front of the beach. The workers are friendly and work quickly. I love their green Thai tea and ham and cheese with jalepeno croissant. The green Thai tea will definitely keep you awake if you're caffeine sensitive. An awesome spot to come with friends for a bite at the beach or late night snack. read more

Stopped in for an afternoon donut last weekend. My husband got a cronut and I got a glazed old fashioned. I had a bit of the cronut and WOW it was phenomenal. *drool* We both said that it is better than our current, now previous, #1 cronut that is/was at a donut shop by our house. The old fashioned was also tasty. read more

Cam here super late at night on a Saturday and it was surprisingly not as fisted as it could be. Probably because it was Coachella weekend and the usual crowd is there instead (just a hypothesis, don't shoot the messenger). We had around 10+ people ahead of us, but the line moved super fast and most of those people were just a cluster of people in the same group/party who didn't want to get separated. Workers were super efficient and they have the system down to a tee to handle the larger crowds. Went in to order and left with everything in around 5 minutes tops. Pretty polite and friendly with the limited interaction as well. We got 4 donuts and 2 drinks and this was under $20, I believe, not too bad considering there's more egregious donut places out there. We got their green/regular Thai tea and the green/regular Thai tea donuts. Donuts were not too sticky had the strong green and regular Thai tea taste to them. Still had a nice texture the next day, but even without it being too cold, the icing stuck to the paper and mostly peeled off, so my brother had to use his teeth to scrape it off, but still good. Just an FYI so you can take them out and put them in a different container if you want to avoid this. The drinks were standard green Thai tea and Thai tea drinks, a bit sweet, but that means you can just take it home and dilute it out later. Location is great for being around the beach and near so many things to do, so they draw in a crowd. Being 24/7 is a huge plus too. Though these things are standard with some other donut places, which makes me think that this is an overall standard donut place too. No fancy bells or whistles, except the Thai tea flavors and I guess the cronuts. We were able to find free street parking and just walk there which wasn't too bad. Can't imagine how fisted it is during a more busier time though. Good to try at least once in your life. read more

Definitely not what it used to be. We came in late morning on Saturday. There was a small line which is much better than nighttime. We ordered 3 croissants, cream and jalapeño, Turkey and cheese, Turkey and cheese jalapeño, and a green Thai tea. All the croissants felt like there was too much bread and not enough filling. I had to eat more than half of the bread to find very little cream cheese inside. The bread on this croissant is better than the one for the Turkey and cheese though. Green Thai tea was good but I the regular is much better. Green Thai tea has a more floral taste, kinda reminds me of pandan-ish. read more

Hellllll yeah! I love a donut place that is simple and not complicated. I don't need a ton of crap on top of my donut. I just want a simple, chocolate glazed donut, which is what they have! This is a grab and go place and their prices are so good. It wasn't expensive at all like I thought it would be due to the location. I got a chocolate glazed donut with sprinkles and a banana. They also have muffins and croissants as well. They're also SO fast. The staff was really nice and just go straight to the point, which I appreciated. Even when we were in a longer line, it went sooo fast because everything is really grab and go. Again, no where to sit inside, but hey, grab that donut and take it down to the beach or pier. That's all you really need. We came back two days in a row because it was so tasty. read more

Turkey, cheese & jalapeño croissant warmed up = taste of heaven. It's been a hot minute since I've had one... probably over 15 years. Tastes as good as the first time I tried it with an old, old love. Had a tiny moment of sweet nostalgia this morning. I also ordered the strawberry cream cheese croissant to try to balance out the savory/spice. I think next time I'll try to come with a friend or family member to split the sweet croissant in half. Had no idea Newport had a farmers market on Sunday morning. Got to enjoy looking thru all the vendors this am. read more

I came here on a Friday afternoon and there was still a great selection of donuts to choose from. I got the maple cake donut, and my husband got the fruity pebbles glaze donut. Both were excellent and tasted very fresh. Service was friendly and helpful. They were very patient as I found it to be a very hard decision lol. The shop is small but easy to get in and out and it was nice and clean. read more

Seaside Donuts Bakery - Ate my donut at the nearby coffee shop - Bakeries Near Me - Newport Beach, California

Came here around 9am on a Sunday and it wasn't very crowded but we still had to wait in line. The donuts are more affordable than I expected which was a pleasant surprise. I ordered the Thai tea donut which was so flabbergastingly amazing it made the 40 min drive worth it. I also ordered the ham and cheese croissant and green Thai tea. Both items made my entire year because it is that good and flavorful. They are all pretty sweet though and I have a huge sweet tooth so it was perfect. The location is right next to the beach and the Sunday farmers market. The sidewalk is nice for a stroll. I parked in a parking lot a few blocks away closer to the street which was only $2 an hour. But it fills up super duper fast and it was almost full even at 9am. read more

A SoCal classic that I was excited to try for the first time! We came on a Thursday night and it wasn't busy at all. We got the green Thai tea donut, Thai tea donut and a cronut.

When people talk about iconic donut shops in Orange County, Seaside always pop ups. A staple of Newport Beach since the 80s, it's always been a popular late night hang out spot for local college kids or elder millennials up past their bedtime after a show at the local club. We went here recently after a show at about 2 AM and stood in line for 30 minutes for two donuts and a drink. The donuts are continuously made from scratch and there were never shortages. The thai tea matcha donut was quite tasty and the custard donut (Boston creme analog) always slaps. Parking is easy at night, but during the day can be limited with parking. read more

Clean location and friendly service. Stopped by to pick up a couple of donuts and they were all pretty good. Their blueberry donut was really sweet, but tasty. I really liked their jalapeno, cheese, and ham croissant warmed up and their sugar cronut. They had lots of options like green Thai tea donuts to raspberry jelly and custard chocolate. read more

Stopped by to check out this popular donut spot! It was good, but nothing really blew our minds. We got the cronut, blueberry donut, maple cake donut, chocolate donut, and chocolate croissant. Cronut: I was most excited to try this one and ate it immediately as we left the store. It was too doughy and not enough croissant texture. Disappointing :( Blueberry donut: It was good, but I've had better (M&Ms in Anaheim) Maple cake donut and chocolate donut: both were pretty good and standard. You can't go wrong with these classics! Chocolate croissant: Saved this one for the next day to toast in our air fryer. It was good, but again.. nothing too special. It could have been from anywhere. Seaside Donuts is located in a nice beachfront location that elevates the donut eating experience. There's paid parking around the area. Also, there's a 4% charge to use credit card here too! read more

Seaside Donuts is a Newport Beach institution. Open 24 hours, it's popular with locals and UCI students. I came in the morning and found no line, but have heard that it's more popular at night. My daughter said the must order items are the green Thai iced tea and the ham and cheese croissant. Their croissants are pretty reasonable - $4.50 for the ham and cheese. Definitely have them heat it up if you're eating there. My husband got the turkey, cheese and jalapeño ($4.75) and enjoyed it at the beach. I don't know what kind of cheese they use, but it's got the perfect melt. I got a spinach and cheese croissant ($3.25), which paled in comparison. I can see why Seaside is so famous! Free parking in the lot after 6pm. read more

Seaside Donuts Bakery - Storefront - Bakeries Near Me - Newport Beach, California

1 Star This was one of the most disappointing customer service experiences I've had in a long time. My husband and I are regular customers and come here nearly every week for maple donuts and Thai tea. We know exactly how their donuts normally taste, which is why today's experience stood out immediately. The two maple donuts we purchased were clearly not up to the quality we've come to expect. They were dense, dry, lacked the usual fluffy texture, and had barely any glaze on top. Both donuts tasted exactly the same, so this wasn't just one bad donut. The bigger issue was how the situation was handled. I went back inside politely to explain the problem and was met with an immediate dismissal. Before asking a single question or even looking into the concern, the employee laughed and said, "No, our donuts are always fresh." That was the entire response. No apology, no attempt to understand the issue, no offer to replace the donuts, and no effort to make things right. It's shocking to be treated that way as a loyal customer. Businesses make mistakes, and customers understand that. What customers don't appreciate is being told that their experience didn't happen. Being completely dismissed and brushed off was more disappointing than the stale donuts themselves. If this is how customer concerns are handled, then management seriously needs to reevaluate their standards for customer service. After years of supporting this business, I left feeling disrespected, ignored, and regretting that I spent my money there today. read more

I visited this donut shop on a Saturday noon and it wasn't too busy compared to the crowds it draws at night. For donuts I ordered the Thai Tea and the Green Thai Tea donuts and they were both pretty solid. The donuts were fluffy, light, and airy. There was a lot of frosting on top, but it wasn't too overpowering. Both of the flavors were good, but I liked the Thai Tea one the best. I also ordered a medium iced Thai Green Tea and it was good! The flavor was good and for the price of $4.50, they give you a lot of drink. Would recommend. Overall, a pleasant experience here. A good option to grab a snack or pick me up while you enjoy the beach. read more

Haven't been back here in ages. Was hanging around the Newport Pier on a Saturday morning with my mom so I decided to take my mom here. There were only a couple of people in line. I got a ham, cheese and jalapeño croissant and my mom got a coconut glazed donut. I think they gave me a ham and cheese croissant instead. I didn't taste any jalapeños but it tasted as good as I remembered. I tried mom's donut and it was also delicious because it was fresh and soft. Mom enjoyed it too. read more

Definitely a nostalgic place. I used to come here all the time when I was a student, usually in the evenings after midterms and finals. The jalapeño, ham, and cheese croissants were always my go-to. Then, once cronuts became a thing, I started getting those too. Now, whenever I'm in the area and missing Seaside, I stop by. I recommend visiting in the evenings, , since parking and getting into the plaza is much easier. I've made the mistake (many times) of trying to visit during the day and always regretted it. The lines are long whenever I go, no matter the day. read more

I can see why Seaside Donuts Bakery is so popular! They offer a wide variety of donuts to satisfy any craving, at low prices, and they're conveniently located right next to Newport Beach. Even on a Monday evening, there was a short line out the door, but the wait wasn't too bad. I tried the Chocolate Bar donut, which was $2. It wasn't anything extraordinary, but it was a solid donut. Soft, fluffy, and the chocolate wasn't too sweet. Takeout only. read more

Demolished the most delicious Cronut here yesterday. So good and the perfect treat after a walk on the pier. The vibe is very local and loved, but also super clean. The staff is super friendly and helpful. I went on a Monday at 12pm-ish in the off season, but I suspect this place has a tendency to get busy during peak season and hours. Absolutely scrumptious donuts in Newport! read more
