Yes, the donuts here are amazing, But I'm not here for that. If you haven't already tried the deli department I suggest you do before you stop at subway. This place has the best bagel and croissant sandwiches around. Also, I must say, make sure Ella! makes it! and I promise you won't be disappointed. She makes it to perfection. Picture perfect every time. I can't stress this enough. You have to try them.Again thank you!

The BEST. Period.We first found The Donuttery on our road trip from Minneapolis to Irvine, CA in 2014. We were on a mission to find a proper Cronut as they were new at the time. We did our Google research and found out that The Donuttery had what we wanted.We ordered two cronuts and found they offered them filled with pastry cream and/or fresh berries. My wife got the pastry cream-filled and I had the pastry cream and fresh strawberry-filled. They were a gift from the heavens. The outside was lightly glazed and crisp, yet the insides were flaky and fluffy. Prepare yourself as they are very sweet and you will probably want a coffee or milk to offset the sweetness.We returned for road trips in 2015 and 2017 and found the flavor and quality to be outstanding... just as we remembered it. We introduced several friends to our "hidden gem" and they were blown away.Fast forward to 2024. We had moved from MN to NV and were travelling to Costa Mesa for an appointment. I saw an opportunity to reacquaint myself with these wonderful cronuts after a long 7 years. I looked on their website and I saw mention of Mochi donuts but no sign of cronuts. I was shocked! I e-mailed their general inbox to ask if they still had cronuts. I explained our previous trips and how we got the cronuts with the custard.Alyssa responded promptly to let me know they still do make cronuts regularly, they are just not highlighted on the menu. When I asked about the custard, she said they don't normally serve them with custard any more, but after hearing my story she would try to make it happen for us. She really went above and beyond.I asked her for two custard-filled and two with custard on the side to take home. I told her the exact day we were coming. She e-mailed us the day before and let us know she would have them ready for us and who we should talk to when we got there.We got there on the day of our appointment and the gentleman at the counter was waiting for us with a box of our cronuts and custard. We snatched them up and had to open them in the car before we even left the parking lot. That first bite. It took us back 10 years to our first time. Just as soft. Just as sweet. Just as perfect.We will now be travelling to Huntington Beach regularly so we will be able to indulge more often. If you want some of the best donuts (and cronuts) around, give The Donuttery a try. But do not do yourself a disservice and leave without trying one of their perfect cronuts!

Donuts are incredible. It's a hit or miss with service. This time it was a total miss. Hard to find places these days with teenagers happy with their $18 an hour job. At least pretend to be happy... please. Or pretend to care about people in general.

Speaking for the Donuttery truck specifically - the fellow who runs it is always so sweet and generous. Throwing in extra donuts. Everything is delicious. Vegan options are amazing. Pricing is fair.

I love the vegan options available here! The apple fritter and blueberry cake donuts are my favorites. The apple fritters are always fresh and you taste the apples in every bite! The staff is always friendly and helpful. It's just a good thing that I don't have a Donuttery near me or I'd have some extra pounds on me.
Best doughnuts I ever had! Peanut butter and jelly, apple fritter, and Nutella and jelly

I don't know the official name for the donut I got, but it has what seems like whipped cream in the middle. It was initially not covered in chocolate, but they were kind enough to dip it for me. I would say this is a shareable donut... a good size, and perfect to hit that sweet tooth for two. They definitely don't skimp on the filling either. I'd say it's more filling than donut, which is totally fine with me. 5 stars is owed. The chocolate chip cookie however... was not very good. I know. I went to a donut shop and bought a cookie... what was I expecting? Sadly, this cookie drops the rating for me a little. Do yourself a favor and skip the cookie... just get a donut.
