Food was good, but, geeze, the price! two drinks and two breakfast items somehow came out to ~$50 all told after tip. You could say 15% tip is inappropriate in a donut place, and you might be right, but they have the machine prompting it, so ?‍♂️.Dietary restrictions: they did dairy/gluten free solid.Parking: there's a few lots. Seems like it varies by season and time of day.Kid-friendliness: they had kid's gambling games and sweetsWheelchair accessibility: looked good

Tons of options. Ordered donuts: tiger tail, boston creme, jelly filled. All very fresh and tasty. Sticky bun is also good.

Came on Christmas Day for the christmas lights boat ride! There was plenty of parking in the lot about a 5 minute walk away that you can pay through the phone too. It was a long line at first and wait was long to get our drinks too. The hot chocolate was okay but not enough whipped cream. It was also on the expensive side. Pictured is a small size. They also sold other things such as fraps, muffins, donuts, etc.

Went on a busy Friday night (12/15) for a snack before getting in a boat tour. Ordered onion rings, French fries and a Thai Ice tea. The order took ~ 20 min and when asked for more ketchup, the person said "you already have some' there were two packets in the bag and we wanted more. When asked again, the person again said 'you have some'. No napkins were in the bag. And instead of getting a Thai iced tea, we were given a Chai iced tea. The food was hot and tasted ok, and the tea was good, but not what we ordered. The service was unbelievable- especially at such a popular location. Hopefully just a bad night. However, we will not be returning.

Went out for the boat parade and thought it'll be cute to get the kids some ice cream, donuts, etc. turns out this shop ran my Card for $1,000. if you ever come here PLEASE HAVE CASH! this isn't the first incident, my uncle also got scammed there as well except they took $2,000. Please be careful out there. They're horrible people in the world who will do anything for money except actually earn it. Hope this helps and stay safe.

5 stars all the way, as a frequent visitor to Huntington Beach and the surrounding area, this is my favorite spot to grab breakfast by the beach and Whale watching tours. Egg and Cheese Croissants are my go to but the vast amount of variety and flavor here is nothing to pass up. Make it a destination during your next visit to Cali.

They have everything!So many options and everything is fresh! We made sure to come by this location multiple times while we were walking the boardwalk.

Expected better tasting and fuller filled donuts. Do better for the price, or knock down a buck

Great Apple fritter, but I'm not sure what I paid for. The receipt was enigmatic. We stopped in after our whale watching boat ride in Newport Beach. It was something to do while looking around at shops and waiting for the Uber driver to find us.

8/1/2023Need a cost effective, tasty, but bad for you treat? You'll like this place. Corn dog and donuts for us, yummy.

This place is terrible, chaotic, and gross. NEVER order the chocolate shake it is chocolate milk. this place is outrageous the shake cost $9 and it was litterly chocolate milk. (it's was even bubbling/foaming) Please save your money and go somewhere with real food!

Marcus C.

Meh. As a donut connoisseur I cannot recommend. Poor taste, oil taste donuts. Pass. This place survives on location alone.
