Newport Donut

Just picked up a dozen of the most stale donuts I’ve ever seen. They’re like a rock. You’d think 7 am on a Wednesday morning would be kind of fresh. Nope! Won’t go there again!!!

Nice clean donut shop. Sweet girl behind the counter. Great plain chocolate donut. No frosting and delicious. I go out of my way for this donut!

This place is the best. Hot coffee, fresh donuts. Great breakfast sandwiches. I have been coming here for years. Highly recommended.

I bought a dozen donuts on Christmas Eve for the staff at one of the offices that I visit frequently for work. Not too much fuss, good efficient service, classic donuts in all varieties, and only $ 9.95 for a dozen. Not much more I could ask for. I really don’t know why ratings are so low.

Have been going here for years and my last experience was my final. The donuts are usually ok. The lady helping me had a runny nose and was wiping it with her shirt and hands. The coffee was bland and the coffee bar was a mess. The maple bar icing was so thin it was flaking off.

I don’t know why this place has such low ratings, I’ve never had any issues with the ladies that work there or their food. The gals that work there are quite nice and treat me well.
I just discovered today that they sell cronuts and conchas (mexican bread)! I usually buy a few donuts and some donut holes and its never over $ 5 so their prices are very good. Things are fresh also so I’ve never gotten anything stale from them.

I’m not sure why this place has only 3 stars. My kids like donuts and we have never had a problem. I’ve been here at least 25 times and they are always nice. Good service, good coffee and best of all good donuts.

Wasnt treated poorly as others have said. But the donuts are subpar and I did get an expired chocolate milk. Id rather drive a little to Oh Those Donuts.

The donuts are okay, but not the best. I asked the lady to fill up my water bottle, she said she could only fill it up half way :))) and my bottle is only 18 ounces not 1 gallon .
Bad customer service. Not going back there again.

I decided to stop by on a Saturday morning around 7:30 AM before work and was «greeted» by 4 angry Asian ladies who run around behind the counter like chickens with their heads cut off. The one who was helping me was clearly becoming inpatient since I couldn’t make up my mind even though there was no line behind me.
In the end, I got an apple fritter, maple bar, chocolate on chocolate sprinkle, chocolate on chocolate with coconut, and iced coffee for under $ 7. It really is a shame how poor the service is here because the donuts are very fresh and delicious. They have a large selection of donuts and croissant based goodies.

It’s really sad, this place use to be such a gem. The new owners just don’t care. Especially the night shift lady. Been coming for 7 years, not anymore. I tried many times but it’s just not worth the time.
There are other donuts shops near the area. Costumer service means a lot to me. Food is ok but the energy is just sad…

When someone gives you a foul attitude it really leaves a bad taste in your mouth. Especially when this happens at the beginning of your day. At first I was really enjoying the store. I had to ask the clerk this morning, «What? What? What?» She was mumbling at such a low volume and not speaking very loudly. When she asked me for payment I tried to clarify what she said… «4.65?» And she responds «I SAID…4SIXTY FIVE». I said I was sorry it was hard to hear her. Then she lets out a loud breath completely walks away from my transaction and offers to help a guest that just walked in. I let her know that I really enjoyed the store until I caught her attitude and she responded, «ok thank youuuuu» as she was walking away. What. A. Bitch. And I said ok thank you for your attitude I’ll be sure to mention that on the review. So here we are folks! I hope if you visit this location, you won’t be curious to ask any questions, because rather than speaking more clearly these people would prefer to just be a complete bitch to you. End rant.

A very good place for coffee and a donut, I had the chocolate éclair, I asked the help what she liked, so I bought it.

The second time I came here was a lot different than the first. It was the same lady who had helped me the first time, but this time she was really nice! Although the don’t this time wasn’t the best, I appreciate the change in attitude from the last time. I most likely caught her at a bad time and/​or a bad day, but I would highly recommend this joint (:

Staff is friendly, cinnamon twist donut is great, coffee is good and they «never close!» All pluses in my book!

No one was in front when I walked in. Waited not to long, a girl came out to help. Bought 2 donuts. Cream donut and blueberry. Came out to $ 1.90. Asked for the blueberry one to be nuked for 10 seconds. The girl was hesitant and didn’t want to. Asked a 2^nd time and she did it very rudely. This place got a 3 star for having a wide selection of donut on a Sunday night. Donut was okay.

Everything what I expect from a donut store — quick help, big donuts, mostly fresh (I rarely get one that feels like has been sitting there for a while) and cheap (chocolate glaze $ 0.80). For anyone that is looking for an exotic looking donuts — this is not your place. They are very normal but very decent for what they have.
They also have a variety of drinks (milks, juices, coffee, all that jazz) and DELICIOUS breakfast croissants that are HUGE!
My husband loves their bagels. They buy them at a very popular bagel place around the corner…
I’ve been going there for 4 years now few times a week! All my surfing buddies go here all the time as well.

I’ve been here twice, and both times were god awful. Thier coffee tastes like burnt grinds off of an old bbq… I never expect much of coffee from donut shops butbi almost spit this out. I had a donut last time and it was ok. This time I had a warm (microwaved) bacon, egg, and cheese croissant. It wasnt the worst thing in the world, but i would have been 10x happier at jack in the box… so I guess that’s saying something. I do give them one star for being fast and also for surprising me with a free donut hole in the bag! There’s a ton of donut shops in the area, so I suggest you skip over this one.

My bf lives walking distance from this donut shop which was a good thing during a night of drinking with friends. We all stumble over to this shop for some sweets. It was honestly not even midnight yet and we weren’t being rude or obnoxious drunks. Yet, the lady at the counter was so incredibly rude to us from the moment we arrived! After literally a minute of getting into the store, she goes «can you hurry up??» in which we responded, «oh, I’m sorry are you guys closing soon?» Her response, «no, but I have other things to do.» SHEESH!
We then each hurried it up a little, telling her which donuts we wanted, to which she kept rolling her eyes and looking more and more annoyed. It even got to the point where she put the wrong donut in the bag, but I didn’t even want to let her know because I was scared of her reaction.
My friend asked her for a warm sandwich and her response was: «no warm sandwiches right now!»
My friend: Ok, can I just get one of the pre-​made ham and cheese croissants in the display?“
Mean lady: NO WARM SANDWICHES.
My friend: *points to the croissant* Can I just get that one?
Mean lady: HAM AND CHEESE ONE?

I get that she probably gets frustrated staying open late, but it was not even midnight & we were all well-​behaved (especially after having to deal with her attitude)!! Ugh, even thinking about it makes me mad, but I will say, the donuts were pretty good that night.

Holding the line against the general decline in donut quality is this hot little spot in Costa Mesa. I often grab some for the office and a number of people have asked where they’re from and commented on how tasty and fresh they were. Service is quick and everyone is efficient. A couple of the employees are particularly nice. A real favorite of mine over the last couple of years.
Update: wow, what happened? I was a huge fan but the last few visits have been really disappointing. The donuts aren’t as fresh, light, and wonderful as they used to be. Just another donut shop now.
