The lattes hit the spot since the drive up made me sleepy. We sat on the back patio. They used to have these tables streetside, but they are gone.

Rose Cafe & Donuts has probably got the best breakfast sandwiches in San Clemente, although, I have to admit, this was really the first time I had ever "checked out" San Clemente longer than a pit stop for gas. As my mom and I were "passing through" taking this l-o-n-g-e-r rest stop from driving on the 5 (we were on our way to San Diego), we decided to get something more substantial to eat. Anyway, you have to go here. Rose Cafe's food seemed quite popular, considering there was a constant stream of customers ordering, and everyone noticeably ordered something different. I really liked the outdoor tables and chairs, located right outside the eatery. It definitely allowed us to enjoy the cool ocean breeze, even though you can't see the water. All in all, Rose Cafe rocks. We were glad to have found this cute place, tucked into a shopping center, no less. Overall, the food was awesome, and the location was super-convenient.

I have NEVER had a bagel like this one. It was fluffy, fresh, and had a perfectly crispy shell. I normally eat half because I feel heavy after eating bagels, but not this one. Everything was cooked perfectly. Luckily I got it to go because the inside is small and they have a small patio, but it was super cute! Definitely coming back!

Sadly, I wish they'd open more locations in Orange County closer to me so I can visit more often. :) Donuts here have great texture and tastes amazing. My top three are Blueberry Lemon ($4.75), Buttermilk Old Fashioned ($4.50), and Maple Bacon ($5.75). Service is always friendly and upbeat - which you can always count on when you're here.

There was a short line (~10 min) and while we waited in line, one of the owners offered us shots of coffee and stickers for the kids, which was so nice and awesome! We got 6 donuts and the raised donuts were literally the fluffiest donuts I've ever had and the cake donuts were amazing too! Friendly service and we ate right outside before getting back in the car. Would 1000% come back again and I like it better than Sidecar (I said what I said) :)

It's perfection! Then I tried the ham, cheese and jalapeño croissant and could not believe how delicious that is! The owner is so kind and service is excellent!

Recently, when my friend and I met for a Dana Point/ San Juan Capistrano day trip I suggested visiting Donut Hut for a glaze of nostalgia. Chris, the person behind the counter, was extremely friendly and courteous. He engaged with me as I reminisced about my Donut Hut glory days. Apparently, the establishment has changed hands at least once in the last 10 years. The service was awesome and the donuts were excellent. It seemed as though Donut Hut had been newly refurbished. It was clean and tastefully adorned. I firmly believe that Donut Hut is on solid ground to meet your donut cravings for the next millennia and beyond!

No big deal though, this happens all the time so I just went inside and told them. Instead of admitting their mistake, the lady said that I didn't ask for no cheese and she remembered everything. Could not admit her fault at all and called me a liar, so I asked for a refund. Took them 10 minutes to find it and I just walked out without getting one. Moral of the story: don't come here, the service is terrible and they microwave their bacon. Will never be back.

Niguel Bakery & Donuts isn't just a place we eat -- it's where our kids grew up…read more 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.
