    Hope this business relocates smoothly, I just tried them for the first time recently and really like their donuts, especially the cake donuts. Really nice staff to Sad to hear they're having their lease ended abruptly but they have a Go Fund Me page: https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-jorge-rebuild-sunny-side-up-doughnuts

    Chorizo burrito
    J B.

    Small cafe with a few table but crowded to place your order next to the donut case. Donuts were fresh and flavorful. The staff were friendly and accommodating however the breakfast burrito was not the best - lack of egg and needing a crispy element. The breakfast taco was really good though - potato and bacon (crispy) instead of egg.

    Perfectly made donuts. Boxes have a nice logo so nice to gift. Fresh and perfect consistency. Tried bear claw, chocolate, maple, apple fritters so far. All were sweet, addicting and just how they should be.

    This spot is more than just a donut shop. They also serve a full breakfast, and it's fantastic. I ordered the chorizo burrito, and it was absolutely delicious. Their house salsa is made fresh on site, and you can really taste the difference. So good! A big shout out to Jose, who helped me. He was kind, polite, and clearly very hardworking. It's rare to see that kind of work ethic and passion for the job these days, and it truly made the experience even better. 10 star service and an overall wonderful visit. Highly recommend!

    Sunny Side Up Breakfast Burrito.

    This was our second trip to Sunny Side up and it was fabulous. They had a car show in the parking lot sponsored by SSUD. The place was booming and the service was still quick and courteous. Jorge the manager had everything running like a clock. We ordered the Sunny Side breakfast burrito and the Chorizo breakfast burrito. Both burritos were made fresh to order and very delicious. Generous portions of meat, eggs, potatoes, and avocado. The house red salsa was a great compliment to the overall flavor. To top everything off we also ordered the old fashioned glazed donut and 2 apple fritters. Possibly the best fritter on the planet. I highly recommend stopping by when in Laguna Niguel for the cold brewed coffee and the delicious food. Not just for breakfast. The seating area is clean and comfortable and enjoyable for everyone.

    Cronut holes apple fritters

    I ordered six cronut holes and an apple fritter. No photos on website. I received six very very small, so hard we could not bite into because they were so burnt and covered in hard chocolate. Apple fritter was also burnt which I did not think was possible. Also ordered plain cake and devils food which also were very small but tasty. Raised (twist and bar were good and regular size. bagels and cream cheese were good. I did receive two what looked like bear claws but had apple inside which I did not order but seemed much more fresh than the other donuts which I don't know if they were put in to offset the condition of the others or ???

    Everyone here is amazing and they always have a smile on their face. Plus they have amazing food other than just donut!!! Hands down the best place for breakfast. Don't let the name fool you!! The pancake breakfast is amazing specially with the organic Canadian maple syrup.

    What a fun breakfast/brunch spot. They have plenty of parking as well as outdoor seating. The ambiance inside is approachable and low key. It's a place full of regulars with everyone knowing one another. The owner is attentive and friendly. The staff is friendly, thoughtful and attentive as well. The food was amazing. I should've taken a picture but I ate it all too quickly. I shared a maple donut with a friend, ordered a breakfast croissant sandwich, another time ordered a breakfast burrito with their salsa which was not spicy at all but tasted lovely. Price is fair. All in all it's a great experience and I would definitely bring friends next time.

    We went here for the first time over the weekend and absolutely loved the food , people , service and ease of ordering. We came back this morning to order again and try the made to order homemade sausage in our breakfast sandwich. A++++. We met the owner and his parents they are wonderful people and happy they were there when we went over the weekend . The decorations for Halloween were all fun and we took lots of photos. Thankyou for being part of the community

    Sunny Side Up Doughnuts has so much more than delicious hot fresh donuts & bagels. Their breakfast & lunch make you feel like you're in a little cafe where everyone knows your name & provides First Class service.I love that they are accommodating if you have special needs with your food, like no bread but lettuce wrapped around your tuna sandwich with cucumbers instead of tomato:) Love the fresh squeezed OJ varieties of fresh coffee, tea, ect...lots of variety. The vibe & energy is very relaxed & great to have a conversation or two with someone & meet a new friend.Very laid back vibe. Seating inside, tables & chairs as well as bar seating & outside seating too. Great location in a center that is very busy & parking is easy to find.What I love most about this little spot is whatever holiday it is they always have the place decorated & I also love that they support different artist with their art work on their walls & it's for sale.Great way to give back to & support the community along with delicious food & treats!

    Very good donuts and very friendly staff!! I love the environment and the high top bar they have. They also have wifi and plenty of tables to sit and study!

    Santa Fe Sandwich??
    Victoria C.

    Ordered two breakfast sandwiches one everything bagel sandwich was burnt so the garlic was totally bitter. The other was supposed to be a "Santa fe" sandwich with Swiss, egg, tomato, bell peppers etc. Had none of that. Just weird house made sausage flat egg and a bit of cheddar on floppy white bread.

I can't emphasize that part enough because I can order donuts for DoorDash in the middle of the night and it still tastes really fresh and delicious. Not many places can pull that off!

It's a longer…read moredrive from Irvine than it looks on a map, but it's a beautiful one, and this shop made the trip feel completely worthwhile. One thing I appreciate about Southern California is that we have different tiers of doughnut shops, and they all have their place. If I'm grabbing a random dozen for coworkers, I'm probably stopping at a neighborhood classic like Donut Star. It delivers exactly what people expect from a traditional pink box of doughnuts. Parlor Doughnuts isn't trying to be that. This is closer to a bakery where the doughnut becomes the main event. We ordered the French Toast, Campfire, and a raspberry powdered sugar mini. The French Toast was my favorite, with warm maple and cinnamon flavors that never became overly sweet. The Campfire balanced chocolate and marshmallow with flaky, croissant-like layers. It's a bite with a satisfying fresh-from-the-oven chew you'd expect from warm, handcrafted bread. Even the powdered sugar mini packed a bright burst of raspberry flavor that was delicious and not overwhelming The shop is clean, modern, and inviting. The breakfast sandwiches also looked worth coming back for. For about $15, we got a milk, two full sized doughnuts, and a mini, which felt fair for something this thoughtfully made. Different doughnut shops serve different purposes, and I'm glad places like Parlor exist. It's absolutely worth the drive.
