OK, I know that everyone RAVES about this place, but I work across the street, and sadly, they get my order wrong 50% of the time. I tell myself, "Don't go there anymore." However, as I stated, I work across the street, so every other month, I give them another chance. UGH, this EAST COAST girl is NOT HAPPY! They do have a large selection of cold drinks. There are a lot of donuts, specialty donuts, bagels, etc. However, how hard is it to get an everything bagel with veggie cream cheese (not chive) or a white chocolate mocha (not a chocolate mocha). I've asked for bagels with sausage and cheese, with no egg, and received an egg. LISTEN UP PEOPLE ... this is not that hard. Write it down ... don't yell it across the room. Show your customers that you understand what their order is and care that it's right. It's not cheap! As with most customers, I put my items in my bag and leave, unknowing that my order is wrong until I get to my desk ... TOO LATE. My hope is that the management reads this and take it to heart. I'm not the only one to complain. If you just walk in for a donut, you should be fine. However, if you are ordering off the breakfast/lunch menu, please ask them to repeat your order ... and then check it before leaving the store. Wendi's ... I want to like you, but please get it together! read more

Wendis is a small chain, they cook their bagels and donuts on site and they are AWESOME. Donuts- I can't personally comment on the donut experience (everyone says they are awesome), as I am a bagel man. I will say they are very popular and the selection of gut busting sugar filled / topped / stuffed/ slathered dough rings is impressive. Bagels- Their bagels are cooked fresh every day, very slightly doughy, large sized, and fantastic. Myself and co-workers choose Wendis over every other bagel shop, including Bruegers any day. Their prices are excellent and the selection of flavors is superb........Spinach Parmesean....YUM YUM! Bonus- they don't skimp on the cream cheese! Downside- they only serve plain cream cheese! WTF? Coffee- They offer a broad selection of fresh brewed, serve yourself coffees including numerous Deitrich choices. All sorts of creamers are available at the coffee counter, including non-dairy. Of course you can also order your lattes, caps, espressos, and double ding dong upside down mocha bean frappa chiller with whipped cream and a caramel drizzle. In General- I believe the business is Vietnamese owned and run, ok maybe Korean, no Vietnamese........sorry. The store is not fancy or well organized but it's clean and non-offensive. I think they stock and will sell just about anything you can imagine. Need a vase or a pot, aspirin, cigarettes, gatorade, red bull, fresh juice, need an ATM, they might even sell dvds out the back. It's a sort of convience store disguised as a donut / bagel shop. No offense to Wendis but they are not very chatty or personable, just take the order and get it out.....which is great for breakfast on the run! They have always been nice and I have never been disapponted. They are in the business to make money but thank goodness they decided to do it by making superior products! Wendi's- You sell eveything for crying out loud......buy some flavored cream cheese!!!!!! Popular sister location at the corner of Oso and Antonio. read more

Wendi's, I curse the day that I found you. You have forever ruined other donuts for me. I can't bring myself to spend precious calories on inferior donuts. Ill sheepishly admit we had come for Cloud 9. I rarely eat sweets, I even more rarely eat gluten, but now that I've been cured of my intolerances and chronic disease I can indulge from time to time. Because it is truly an indulgence I guard these gastronomic experiences. I didn't even think I liked donuts, ESP. Cake donuts as they are usually dry and flavorless. But I'm a purist and the plain chocolate glazed cake donut was SO GOOD. It was so good I haven't been able to stop thinking about it for two weeks. So I broke down and found a local donut shop, It was highly reviewed on yelp, people set their alarms on weekends just to get in before they sell out. I was so disappointed I only took two small bites... It just didnt hold a candle to Wendi's. My husband had their Nutella Cronut and he too feels it is the best donut he has ever eaten. I guess I'm going to be stuck driving from Carlsbad to San Juan Capistrano now for a donut. Which is good, because if they were any closer it would be dangerous. read more

Not much of a donut person but they have good muffins and good sandwich is kind of hidden A way in there location

First time here, brought my interest with the local app and a free glazed donut. Wow! Iv been to a few donut stores but here, they had it all. Well stocked with bagels, muffins, croissants and donuts. Not to mention 4 standing coolers of every type of drink, fruit salad, and dessert you could enjoy. The tables were granite and chairs in good condition. Lots of staff behind the counter to help morning customers. I was actually amazed how well this place looked. You could tell they took pride in their business. The coffee condiments were tidier than a Starbucks and I was helped quickly. My ham n cheese crossiant was delicious and my cinnamon roll was perfect! I will be back for sure! read more

I ordered 8 dozen donuts for a 6:30am pickup on Saturday and Wendi's Donuts came through with some amazing donuts! They were ready at 6:10-6:15am when I arrived and they were packed into four boxes for easy transport. Inside the boxes were a variety of delicious donuts that were gobbled up by the staff and volunteers at my event! Eight dozen donuts gone by 10:00am! We will be back to grab a couple just for us! read more

Needed some sort of light dessert... So I just happened to be in the area and walked in to this family run business....I asked them about "cronuts" and they had one left. I wanted to eat something that I was more familiar with, so I opted for the apple turnover. Yummy - you will not regret it. It had just the right amount of sweetness. It was flaky, it was crunchy, it was perfect. I will definitely return to try some of those cronuts! read more

Great local spot for some gourmet donuts. Very well stocked drink fridge and plenty of options for bagels and sandwiches. Chicken salad hit the spot for a quick lunch. Definitely recommend the blueberry donut! read more

Ordered an egg whites only breakfast burrito! Don't know why I ordered it from a donut shop, but I did and it was runny and tasteless. Staff is always keeping you either waiting, or asking what else you want just as you ordered. I usually give good reviews, as iam easy going. But this one gets the dunk tank. I won't be going back! read more

The donuts are good but the service is the worst. The older woman whom I'm assuming is the owner is very nice, but out of the all the times I've been to the store I've only had the privilege of her service a few times. Usually the guy with the bad attitude who's always on his phone assists me. He has an I don't care expression on his face. You have to double check your order because every time he grabs the wrong donut. Not sure why it's so difficult for him. I personally have stopped going here because of him. My husband hasn't though. Can't wait for the new specialty donut shop to open down the street. read more

Great food, but they don't display the prices, even though they probably weren't, it kind of felt like they were just making up a price when I came in. read more

Watch your wallet. I've never seen so much creative financing involved in getting donuts in my life. Horrific

It's a nice local donut shop with friendly staff. I've been going there for years. They have a nice selection of donuts and tons of drinks and snacks choices. The place is usually packed with students and teachers from the nearby schools. read more

My husband and I love to come here for smoothies, doughnuts, bagels and breakfast burritos. The food is great and employees always welcoming and friendly. Support your local business! read more

Wow. Everything they turn out is fantastic. The Donuts are delicious and they have a huge variety. Love the bagel breakfast sandwiches and all the smoothies are some of the best around. I've also had lunch and it was really good although not at this particular location. This is a hidden gem. Enjoy! read more

The breakfast sandwiches and donuts are great! Call ahead and it will be ready for you! Excellent service too!

Great place to visit, friendly family crew. The freshest donuts and even better soy milk hot cocoa! Better than that Starbucks.....well enjoy and keep building up those points. Cheers CT read more

If I want a good cup of coffee without spending $4 and a quick breakfast sandwich, this is where I go. Try the warm Nutella Cronut first thing in the morning, OMG! Delicious!!.... Fresh, friendly and yummy every time. read more

Get the breakfast burritos! They are delicious! Donuts are great too. All in all, Wendi's is a solid choice to grab a quick breakfast bite. They never disappoint. read more

Wendi's Donuts - We love Wendi's! From their donuts and coffee to their delicious burritos, this little cafe keeps us coming back! - Donuts Near Me - San Juan Capistrano, California

I miss wendi the owner! they never have what you ask for. they always make substitutions. if u ask for sourdough you get white bread. they say they put lemon pper on but they don't. they never have the specialty bagels you ask for. this has been on going issue. i know it sounds like a rant but i never gae a bad review in my life for i feel this is a true problem and longtime coming. go to the other wendi's on oso!! much better service! read more

Was road tripping down Southern Cali several years ago, after a long flight from Boston with a friend, when we discovered this gem. Starving, we wanted to stop for lunch but were strangers to the area. We also weren't looking for any place in particular, so we stopped at Wendi's on a whim. The sandwiches we ordered hit the spot, but it was the donuts that hooked us in. Since then, I've made it a point to stop by Wendi's any time I'm traveling down the 5. Looking forward to Wendi's donuts on the next Southern Cali road trip! read more

Great customer service, friendly staff, clean environment, and great coffee! I typically do not buy coffee from a donut shop because it always has a funky taste, but I bought one here and it was a good coffee. read more

What is NOT good is their service. Ever since employing more employees to serve clients, the service has been sub-par. This morning I had ordered a plain bagel and cream-cheese. The one Hispanic employee put my bagel I ordered through the toaster and went to unload some bagels into the case in the front. He COMPLETELY FORGOT putting my bagel through the toaster! Took an average of 7-8 minutes to get my bagel to me and at that point, the bagel was cold and I had to rush to work I will NOT be returning, due to this unfortunate event. If an employee forgets to due his job and provide the customer with what he ordered , then I'm sorry, but he should not be working in the food business. Update: On 06/26, I came in to grab a quick plain bagel with cream-cheese. I received my order promptly, but I noticed the bagel was 2x smaller than average (the bagel I received the day before) and was still charged the same price. I do not like to get ripped off or told that all the bagels in thr case are the same size (when clearly I saw that some bagels were bigger than average). Wendi's Donuts: Learn some honest and true business practices and people will like you and return to your store. I KNOW that after today, I won't be returning for good. I'm sorry... I rather go hungry and not get ripped off than pay some honest $$$ to only get ripped off. read more

I mean first of all, it's a doughnut shop. It's pretty hard to screw up a doughnut shop. But nevertheless, this place is decent. There's nothing special really that makes them really stick out with the loads of other bakeries nearby, but then again there isn't THAT much to complain about. Service here is kind of friendly, dependent on who you order with, but usually it's fine. Wendi's also has a pretty wide selection too, specializing in the namesake doughnuts, but also having actually quite delicious bagels and smoothies. And I swear to god, the apple fritter gets them a whole extra star. I mean, If you're coming in you a meal, go ahead, knock yourself out. You probably won't be disappointed, but then again you won't be going, "Wow! That was great!" However, if you're going in for something like a quick snack, then this place will probably be for you. Better to get something small here like a bagel or doughnut than a full on sandwich when there are plenty of restaurant's nearby anyways for the same price. The only problem with this place is that it's kind of overpriced. Nothing to obscene, but you'll have moments thinking to yourself, "Really?". Any place that sells Arizona Ice tea that is clearly marked for 99 cents for $1.75 gets on my nerves personally. But i digress. This place is decent in my opinion, but who knows? You may fall in love with something nevertheless. read more

This is one of the worst donut shops I've ever been to. I politely asked a simple question about their donuts and the guy behind the counter was completely aloof. Not only did he know nothing about their Donuts but he told me that he couldn't find out anything and that there wasnt anybody who works there including the manager or owner who could answer any questions about their Donuts. I will happily take my business elsewhere and I suggest you do the same. .... You've missed my point entirely. It's perfectly acceptable not to know the answer to a question. But attitude is everything. If you expect to retain your customers business beyond that of the convenience of your location I suggest you hire employees that don't demonstrate a cavalier dismissive attitude towards your customers inquiries. He didn't show the least bit of interest in even wanting to help me with my needs. Didn't take down my number or make any effort whatsoever. He may as well have been asleep! There was a time young people didn't conduct themselves that way. People young and old alike used to try really hard at their jobs no matter what they were because they actually cared! It's unbelievable what has happened to people's attitudes. A sharp business owner ensures that every customer who walks through their door is treated like a VIP. if you haven't even learned that yet then you need to go back to school. read more

It was not busy and the lady behind the counter was just horrid. She literally threw the donuts on the counter. I handed her my card to pay, so she threw that back at me along with the pen and receipt at me. No thank you or have a nice day, just cold heartedness. If I could give zero stars, I would. This place made me angry. read more

I've lived in Ladera Ranch / San Juan for the last 11 years and can't believe I've never been here before! Cute little spot with sandwiches and donuts. Had the turkey avocado. Fresh ingredients, great for a quick weekend snack or a relatively healthy "fast food" option. Finished with an iced coffee and chocolate donut (it's national donut day today so I couldn't resist)! I will definitely be back here. Glad I ran into this place on my way home, thank you :) read more

Wendi's delivers where it matters. The donuts are not overly oily or heavy, the number of drink choices outpaces any gas station on the 15 to Vegas, the sandwiches are surprisingly good, and the service is excellent. Because this place is so popular, they tend to get swamped during mealtimes so if you see lines out the door, don't expect to swoop and get get anything quickly (although their staff powers through orders without compromising on quality). As a small, family-run business, they do an exceptional job. read more

My jalapeno cheese bagel and maple donuts were both completely lacking flavor. Head to Donut Hut on the other side of the freeway - amazing donuts. And if you are looking for a bagel - it doesn't get better than the Bagel Shack. This place is right by my stables, so I wish the food was decent, but I would never return again. read more

This place used to be a five star little local get away. But I went in today and was treater badly, charged a high transaction fee for using my debit card even though they have a sign that emphasize they only charge a fee with CREDIT CARDS. Brought it up, the woman working behind the counter became hostile and just started ignoring me. Sounded like she was saying stuff under her breath. Anyways - NOT HOW YOU TREAT SOMEONR WHO HAD BEEN COMING HERE FOR OVER 5 YEARS. I'll let my friends know. read more

Yummy donuts for the kids with clean seating facilities. Staff is chill. They let me get a last minute donut for my kids before they closed.

The food is good and the service is relatively fast, but one of the younger girls who works there (I think she is part owner) is very rude and unprofessional . read more

Donuts and bagels are fresh. The lines and parking are a bit tough to deal with when St. Margarets school students are in/out of school. The service is good, and the selection is also good. read more

We've tried so many different donut places in the area and Wendi's has the best tasting donuts by far! We come here with the kids almost every weekend. Pricing is very competitive and the staff is great! Just get there quick so your favorite donut doesn't sell out :) read more

Everything is delicious! Breakfast bagel sandwiches, Nutella muffin!, cronuts! It's all bomb!

Amazeballs!!! Sooo yummy! I've been searching food good doughnuts and/or bakery since I'm from Jersey. FOUND IT!! I go here at least once a week. Freshest doughnuts and a good selection too. They have other baked items like danishes and muffins too! =) read more

Great selection of donuts and bagels. My favorite things are on their breakfast menu. Great selection of omelets, burritos and other items all at really inexpensive prices. Service is fast and friendly. read more

They have the best raspberry jelly-filled donuts that I ever had. Raspberry jellies are my second favorite donut, behind the crumb bearclaw (apple filling). The raspberry filling is tart and has a seedy texture. read more

so good and always so accommodating! We've catered with them for some of our business breakfast meetings. Food is fresh and always so good!

Friendly service and great donuts. I've been coming here for years! Consistent with both quality and service
