Aliso Coffee and Donut

I’ve been going to this donut shop since my daughter was a first grader at St Mary’s & All Angels school just up the street. I’ve watched them grow from offering doughnuts, coffee and drinks to wonderful breakfast creations made to order. Everything is delicious and the doughnuts haven’t changed except going from better to best. Not a better doughnut in all surrounding cities. Also glad they serve Diedrichs coffee. Always favored it over those other coffee place on every corner. Owners are great people who have worked hard and deserve the success they have achieved. Actually I will be leaving in a little bit to be there at 5:00 AM. Need to have a glazed French crueller and an apple fritter. My dad’s go to doughnut was a simple powdered cake doughnut. Typical NY order, doughnut and a regular coffee. These people deliver. Just as delicious.

Best apple fritters I’ve ever had! They are crispy on the outside, soft on the inside and giant! I’ve only visited twice, but they are very friendly and provide great service with a smile. I’ll definitely continue to visit!

If you’re looking for fresh breakfast made to order this is the spot for you. The breakfast burritos and breakfast sandwiches are always piping hot and delicious. Note that if you do order one of these items you will have to wait a few minutes because they don’t start making it until you order it.
The donuts are also good. They don’t have the largest donut selection but they do have all the classics.
On the plus side the family that runs the place is super sweet.

I love that this place is across the street from my work. Whenever I’m craving a breakfast burrito or need a sugar fix with an old-​fashioned donut, I always come here. The owners are husband and wife and they are really nice and are efficient and fast when serving customers.

This is my go to place for awesome cinnamon rolls and donuts. Super friendly service and family owned. I really love this place!

If you’re looking for a great donut, search no farther. This place is fantastic! My boyfriend and I walked down from the apartments which was just a 5 min walk which was really convenient. I got a glazed round donut and he got a chocolate twist. The dough was very soft and sweet and the frosting was just right. It wasn’t overly powering. For two donuts our total was 3.50. Make sure to bring cash! Purchases under $ 5 get an extra 50¢ charge if using a card.

Giving this place one star is generous. Where do I even begin? I brought my younger brother here for donuts. Initially I noticed they were overpriced but that wasn’t a big deal. I bring back the donuts home and notice that the donuts were extremely old and stale tasting. One of the donuts was supposed to have peanut butter in it. I bite into it to see that it feels hard as a rock. I call the place and spoke to one of the owners (husband). I explained to him the situation and said I would give them another chance next weekend. He agrees and takes down my information. Five minutes later I receive a call from his wife. She starts yelling at me telling me there’s something wrong with my tastebuds. She tells me if I want a refund (which I never asked for) that I would need to come down immediately. I explain to her that the remnants of the donut were in my garbage disposal. She tells me to bring it down anyway. Mind you she’s literally yelling so loud my mom can hear her from the other side of the room. I try to get a word in and click she hangs up.
I grab the rest of the donuts and bring it down to speak to the husband in which the wife starts yelling at me again (in a room full of customers). I am so disgusted. As a business owner myself I do not know how they even make a dime.
I was willing to give them another chance but after being treated like that I will NEVER return. Im all for supporting local businesses but after my experience here I will make sure none of my friends or family contribute to this business.

Bacon, egg, cheese and potato breakfast burrito. The best! People there are friendly and the donuts smell amazing.

Probably the best donuts I have ever had. The maple bars are a home favorite. Appears to be owned by a married couple. Husband is very friendly. Wife not so much. If you order a dozen mixed she might put bars etc… in your box to up sell you.
Vigilance is the price of peace and the right donuts.

Great breakfast burritos! I had an SCSI smoothie as well that was pretty good. Friendly staff. Pastries looked delicious

Machaca plate is amazing! Beast breakfast I’ve had in a long line time. See you every Sunday!!!

I came here over this past weekend and the crack of dark early… to grab a snack and some coffee for a drive down to San Diego.
I ordered a breakfast sandwich with egg, cheese and ham on a bagel. This was the best breakfast sandwich I have ever had. The bagel was so soft and fluffy — and SO easy to eat. It was incredible. The coffee was good too. I also got a chocolate donut, because you sort of have to at a donut shop… and it was delicious when I finally ate it about 8 hours later. It was not stale or hard… it was still just as fresh as when I got it that morning.
Ran into a friend from high school in the parking lot which was awesome… I was so glad they were open so early — as a lot of places in South Orange County are not. It hit the spot and I will be back! The woman working was very friendly to us… everything was great!

This is a great donut shop a mile from my shop. I’ve been here a couple times now early in the morning for breakfast.
They have a great variety of fresh donuts and are delicious! I try to come back every time I get a chance.
Stop by here whenever you’re in town — they won’t disappoint!

Great local donut and quick coffee shop. The owners are always on-​site working and are very nice. They have a great selection of donuts and other tasty pastries. On top of that they have breakfast burritos, breakfast sandwiches and Acai bowls.
They have Diedrich’s drip coffee and one of those machines that makes cappuccinos, mochas, hot chocolate, etc. So it’s not the real espresso type drinks like you get at Starbucks. But they’re good nonetheless.

I’m usually not a big fan of stores or restaurants where you can tell no one has done much there lately if they have fade out hand written notes on the walls from some 3 years ago and stuff like that. But the coffee I got and the service were outstanding so it kind of made me change my mind. I wish they would take a day off an bring this place up to date, because I want to come back and enjoy some of the many breakfast and donuts options they have.

Angel went up the hill to
Fetch the Beast some breakfast
Angel came down
Lost her money
And the beast tummy was happy.
Aliso Viejo sat on a wall
Aliso Viejo had a great fall
All the donut makers
Stuffed him into a Crossiant
Added some bacon
And put it together for me.
Big round tortilla
Full of eggs, bacon, cheese, potatoe
Eat me, eat me
We are all full now.
Little Aliso Viejo sat in a corner
Drinking her morning brew
Added a shot, added some cream
And said, what a good girl am I.
Oh do you know the Cronut man
The Cronut man
The Cronut man
Do you know the Cronut man
Who lives on Aliso Creek.
Aliso Viejo had a bakery
E-​I-​E-​IO
And that shop it had some donut holes
E-​I-​E-​I-​O
With a hole in my tummy
Another one down
Im so full
E-​I-​E-​I-​O
There we have it, in a nutshell. Breakast crossiants, burritos and sammies. Washed down with Dedrich coffee, mochas, smoothies, juices, waters and a display cooler packed with your favorites. Your sweet tooth will be satisfied with gourmet donuts, cronuts, muffins, ect. But its not cheap. Crossiant sammies about $ 5.25ish. But has freshly cooked egg, crispy bacon on a toasted crossiant with melted white cheddar cheese. Pretty tastey. Breakfast for 2 just under $ 20.00
Pretty good place to grab breakfast while advoiding fast food. IM a fan of the stuff other than the donuts here.

I’ve been here a few times and they were pretty good. I first went here because my friend told me they have her favorite acai bowls — which I was surprised since it is a coffee and donut place. Well, I had it and it was pretty good.
I also ate some of the glazed donuts and those were good as well — just plain glazed donuts are hard to mess up anyway — to me at least.
There is a much bigger menu than what I ate — breakfast burrito, sandwiches, smoothies, juices, coffee, etc. To me. if you are nearby or live nearby check it out!

Update: 2÷24÷15
OK, I’m officially over this place. Visited this morning for the 3^rd time and the lady at the counter was seriously unfriendly. I mentioned that she short changed me a donut on my last visit, and her response was «ME?!?» and then nothing. She pretty much didn’t believe me and didn’t even try to offer my missing donut on this visit. So I ordered my 2 dozen and then asked for 2 donut holes for my son. She said we only sell them in 6 or 12. I said, oh come on, just sell me two. She finally agreed to sell me 3. After I already paid, I said, I know I paid for 3 but just give me 2, I only want 2. To which she replies, no I will give you 3, you give 2 to your son and you eat the last one. That was the end of that.
Next time, I’m headed to Aliso Donuts and Bakery, same distance, same price. Let’s see if I have better luck there.

1^st time I visited, I unknowingly and excitedly ordered all different kinds of donuts — apple fritter, blueberry fritter, maple bar, cinnamon twist, everything looked great, the owner also happily recommended their most expensive donuts. With no labels, I didn’t realize my mistake until it was time to pay, and boy, this box of a dozen donuts cost over $ 25! My bad, I should have asked.
2^nd time around, I ordered 6 glazed & 6 chocolate glazed (1 dozen special), this time the price was more reasonable, $ 11. However, when I got home, I found that they only gave me 11 donuts! That was super annoying.
Both visits, customer service could have been better. It was pretty much — what do you want? You pay and are sent on your way. Even at 5:30a when almost no one was around.
A word of advice: In the future, always ask about the prices & always count your donuts before you leave!
Note to owners: there are a lot of donut shops around, if you serve your customers well, they will stick with you. For me, 2 visits, issues both times, no way I will be a loyal repeat customer.
P. S. When I bought my donuts @ 5:30a, they were still warm and super fresh! Primo!
