    Visited for brunch to try both their hot food as well as their donuts. Incredibly friendly and helpful staff and a warm and welcoming atmosphere that I wanted to love. They are known for their breakfast burritos and I went for shrimp and added avocado. The eggs were a bit dry and it needed a carb and some fat to help balance out all the protein. The salsa was flavorful, but overall it felt more like a high protein breakfast burrito. The tuna melt had a huge portion of tuna salad and a couple of pieces of cheese on top. It looked to be warmed in a panini press which wasn't able to actually melt the cheese and warm the interior. Felt closer to a tuna salad sandwich with cheese rather than a tuna melt. We also got an assortment of sweet treats with somewhat mixed results. The muffin we got was our favorite out of the sweet treats. The cinnamon roll was also good, although not the best we've had in the area. The cronut was tasty, but the internal layers melted together and lost the flaky internal structure. We were disappointed with both flavors of the strudel pastry we got with them being a bit doughy and not very flavorful. The donuts are on the denser side, but the standard donuts don't disappoint.

    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.

    Chorizo Breakfast Burritos

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Donuts are fantastic! My family gobbled them all up! There were two employees in the establishment that were friendly and helpful. It's in a cute little shopping center with plenty of parking.I want to come again to try the breakfast menu!

I was so upset by the way he spoke to me I almost left without the coffee and the bagel I ordered.

Never again will I give them my business.

It's a small shop with some counter seating and several tables outside the front door. They had around a dozen types on display. Sadly, they were out of old fashioned donuts (my favorite). But on the happy side of things, right when I walked in, they were putting out some brown butter donuts, fresh out of the fryer. I immediately pointed and asked for one of those. I also chose a maple raised and a maple bacon. The woman helping me was quite perky with a great smile. I'm certain the thought of why this guy was buying three huge donuts to eat all by himself never crossed her mind. I ate them throughout the afternoon...the warm brown butter one as soon as I got into the car. The cake of the donut was so soft and warm. If it were larger, I would have cuddled up next to it and taken a nap. The brown butter glaze was topped with a Maldon sea salt brittle. Sweet and salty. This was my favorite, probably because it was so darn fresh. The other two donuts had thick, soft cakes but not as soft as the fresh one. The maple donut was great. You could really tell they use quality maple syrup in the glaze. The maple bacon was similar with the addition of bacon on top. It was messy as some of the crumbled bacon fell off with each bite. They provide individual boxes for each donut so keep it under your chin to catch the crumbles! The bacon is seasoned with black pepper and cayenne. These are high-quality, delicious donuts. I think they're some of the best out there.
