Customer Reviews

Fresh, fluffy brioche donuts. Great selection to choose from. The tiramisu was incredible, with the raspberry pistachio coming in second. The seasonal Earl Grey tea was so mild I could barely taste the flavor. I highly recommend Good Town. I knocked off one star due to price. Almost $6/donut is quite steep.

Right next to Seabird?s Kitchen - vegan donuts are clearly labeled and priced. They even have a cute mini donut sample box of the vegan donuts. Staff was very nice.

Good Town Doughnuts might be my favorite doughnut ever! They?re so soft and fluffy, not overly sweet like other donut places, have a good variety of flavors, and have high quality ingredients that you can really taste. I love both their vegan and regular donuts. The ONLY concern I have is the price. At about $6/donut, this is the most expensive joint I?ve seen (possibly ever). They have a buy 5 get one free (half dozen), which comes to about $30. But even that price is tough for me to justify, especially af

Overall 10/10 I love the concept !! They have variety of donuts to choice. I got the mini donuts box (very cuteee). Donuts taste amazing. Friendly staff. Will come back !!

Fantastic vegan donuts! The flavors were incredible and authentic! My favorite was the mango coconut, really terrific mango flavor. The donut base is yeast/fluffy, but a little more dense than your average donut. The 6 mini donut sampler is great, although I wish you could pick the flavors (they are prepacked and one has nuts sprinkled on top). Would also love if they had a website with ingredients/additional details... the store staff members were friendly but it was a bit difficult to ask about specif

Brilliant idea, concept, place, owner and donuts! If you are Vegan this is the only doughnut shop to consider in SoCal. If you're not Vegan, hush yo mouth. You don't know what you're talking about. ;) I bought three dozen doughnuts to take to a business meeting and 30 of them were eaten and not one person knew they were Vegan or questioned them. In fact everyone said they tasted amazing, looked beautiful and were some of the best doughnuts they've ever had. I wish Phoenix had a spot like this. I'd be

Visited on a late Saturday afternoon, and unlike most places that serve stale donuts at this hour, the donuts here were still incredibly soft and moist in the middle. I ordered the strawberry cookie crumble and matcha and both were absolutely delicious! I'll have to try their other flavors next time.

The whole atmosphere and d?cor setting really makes the place feel fun and welcoming with different artwork, signage, and furniture. Not sure if you?ve tried designer donuts before if not stop by they have tons of options and varieties that have real flavors and quality. Don?t worry if you need them to be vegan they have a bunch to pick from as well. My favorite is the 6 minis or the 3 berry donut.

Overall, it deserved 10/10 stars! Food always be super fresh and seasoned Perfectly! And Avocado toast always be my ?? chief is so creative combined the chili powder on it, surprisingly it?s yummy ?? definitely they had the best donuts in the town, love it ??

Hands down the best vegan donuts I?ve ever had! Perfectly doughy, soft, and indistinguishable from non-vegan donuts?absolutely divine. The flavors are incredible, and the texture is spot on. Whether you?re vegan or not, these are a must-try (they also offer plenty of non-vegan options). Can?t wait to come back!

We visit Newport Beach every year and the trip is never complete without a stop in at Good Town Doughnuts! We specifically go here because of the plant based options, but all of their selections are works of art. There is so much creativity that goes into the style and creation of these doughnuts that you *almost* don't want to eat them (but trust me, you really want to eat them!) Everyone had a different favorite, but I will say the strawberry shortcake was my personal pick for a showstopper. Maybe not an

Best donuts I?ve ever had!!! As someone with a dairy allergy, it?s very hard to find good donuts that have no dairy/ are vegan. 100% would recommend their donuts. Even my non allergy parents love their vegan and non vegan donuts. I?m not a big sweets person so these were perfect and not overwhelming. I live on the east coast and anytime I?m in Cali, I make it a must to visit here! I love the raspberry pistachio and toasted coconut donut!

The first and potentially only doughnut spot you need to visit in OC (controversial, we know). But in all seriousness, Good Town was a breath of fresh air for us. Fresh tasting dough (with vegan options) and a vibrant assortment of delicious flavors are nestled in this hidden gem at the Anti-Mall. The staff is usually a one-man show but they're very nice and proud of their work. A perfect recipe for loyal and hungry customers.

Such cute place to walk around! Can?t find it? Keep walking towards the back! It?s a corner spot so you cannot find it till you?re close enough. Their donuts are made with brioche dough! Which makes it so bouncy and delicious! They have so many flavors to pick from. I couldn?t pick so ended up doing there but 5 and get 1 free. Pricing: it is pricy but try it once at least. Parking: terrible. You?d probably have to wait a good 15-20 min to locate a spot. To get the spot is a different story. Hope you have

If you're looking for a really good Vegan doughnut come to Good Town at The Lab. They're located next to Seabirds. They have an amazing variety of Vegan doughnuts. I went simple and got a glazed and a double chocolate doughnut. These were better than any doughnut with animal product. I can't wait to try them all. The lady working there was very helpful too.

Worth the stop. Located in the lab anti mall. Vegan donuts made of brioche dough. The blueberry coconut was delicious, as well as the strawberry cheesecake.

I ordered some doughnuts through Doordash, so I cannot comment on the shop or it?s staff. But, the doughnuts were amazing. I ordered three different ones, but only two of them made the pictures lol. I saw the doughnuts and started munching on them, then I remembered about Yelp lol. Doughnuts tasted fresh, still nice and warm. Short review, great doughnuts, highly recommended! Now, I will have to actually go and order in person very soon.

I had there 12 mini vegan doughnuts, strawberries and cream doughnuts, and peanut butter banana toast every thing was amazing!!! Delicious!! You can tell there doughnuts are made with love and pay attention to detail?.

Very friendly and helpful with selecting your choice of flavor. The vegan doughnuts are the best combo of fluffy and crispy. I just tried their gluten free doughnuts and they are superb. A sweet cake like texture. Highly recommend!

I love their vegan donuts; favorites are definitely their matcha and triple berry. Def worth the trip if you?re in the area! Fluffy donut and not too sweet! Well balanced, they also don?t double glaze their donuts <33

Love the Vegan, brioche doughnuts and oat milk ice cream! The doughnuts are very fresh, creative & tasty! The shop is located in a cool, outdoor Anti-mall! ??? Free parking lot

Gluten free donuts to die for ! My first experience ever and well worth it . I make lots of gluten and sugar free treats but hands down these are of the chart wonderful .

In the spectrum of doughnuts these are next level. The doughnut itself is fluffy and uniquely doughnut. The toppings and flavorings are high quality. You pay a premium, but so worth it!

I have been going to good town doughnuts for years and it always has the kindest staff and best donuts. Amazing quality and always delicious. The matcha donut is my favorite!

Actually I haven't tried their doughnuts yet. But the avocado toast is one of the best in town. Chunk of diced fresh avocados well seasoned with a hint of lime on top of a perfect toasted homemade vegan bread. ????

This place needs to explode with donut lovers coming to eat their wonderfully tasty products. The couple who run this establishmentare are a joy. Come in and try the lemon poppy seed. It is awesome. They have vegan options and great coffee. Come in and spread the word that Good Town Donuts is in Costa Masa.

The vegan maple walnut donut was fluffy and delicious. The strawberry gluten free vegan donut had a good flavor but was a little disappointing - dense and a bit soggy. Worth a visit for the vegan donuts, though.

One of the best donut places in OC! They have super unique flavors that I haven't seen at other donut places and plus they have gluten free options! I think the poppy seed is definitely a must try (if you like poppy seed)

Best fresh vegan doughnuts I?ve had in a while! Ordered mini assorted doughnut pack. Highly recommend this place!?? ??They do sell regular doughnuts as well??

The cutest mini doughnuts! Great for trying a variety of flavors. My favorite of the bunch was the matcha. Not sure if my batch was sitting out for a while, but I think the minis are a little more on the dry side. Wish I had a microwave handy to heat them up.

Highly recommend this place for some good big donuts. The prices are around 5-6$ each, which sounds pricey but comparatively to the quality, I think it's worth. If you compared it to other special donuts, ie mochi nuts, which are $3 each, I feel these are easily worth more than two of those.

A cute Little donut shop located in the very trendy "Lab". The donuts are delicious! I highly recommend the vegan double chocolate and Japanese cherry blossom when available. The staff are always super nice. One time my son went back to get a glass of water but they had closed already. The lady working the counter came out apologizing profusely. Them she handed us two free bags of donut holes. It was sweet of her, as she didn't do anything wrong.

I just wanted to thank the folks at Good Town Donuts! I work for a nonprofit and have a few students who are vegans and one had a specialized diet due to several allergies. They made the best vegan donuts and even custom made a donut for our one student, ensuring it was prepared in a safe area. The student is in high school and had his first donut, being able to eat donuts along with his peers. The smile on his face said it all! Thank you so much! His parents are already planning to get an order from you

We?ll, it looks like it just might be me. I took my family here, there are four of us total, and none of us had a good experience with the donuts. They had a lot of creative and interesting flavors but none of them paid off for any of us. If I pay close to five dollars per donut I want to make sure that I get five dollars worth of taste and experience, and they did not deliver. I see all the other reviews that are positive which is why we chose to try it. But in our experience it was not worth it. I tried t

This donut place is in the middle of the LAB in Costa Mesa. They offer vegan and regular donut options but no gluten free options. Their regular sized donuts go for $4 and I got a 1/2 dozen mini donuts for $12. The vegan donuts are very tasty and offer great flavors with a touch of fruits with not too much sugar. You can actually enjoy the donut taste and natural flavors without being overwhelmed by the amount of sugar. I will review again and give them 5 stars when they offer gluten free versions for som

These were some of the best donuts I've ever had. It was tough to choose with so many options. We went with the triple berry and the smores, a solid 10/10

Oh, my son surprised me with a half-dozen delicious doughnuts from Good Town Doughnuts! ???? ????? (4.0 stars) I got to pick out the flavors, so we ended up with a Classic Glazed, Cinnamon Roll, Smile Mango, Boston Cream, Double Chocolate, and Lemon Poppy Seed. Here's the lowdown: Texture: The doughnuts were a tad doughy for my liking. I thought the Classic Glazed might have been slightly undercooked, but maybe that's just how they make them. It tasted fantastic after a quick toast in the toaster oven t

I had the vegan donuts. They had plenty of different choices. My favorite ones were the triple berry, smores, poppy seed and the mango one was good too. I also got the glazed, strawberry and cinnamon roll donuts to go. I haven't tried them yet but I can't wait till tomorrow!

We stumbled across this vegan doughnut place by accident! There was a tiny sign ?vegan? on the glass. Sooooo glad I walked in! The entire selection was mostly vegan. My only goal now it to make it home with these before I eat them! We got original glazed, lemon poppy, walnut maple and double chocolate. I?m in love!

The mini donuts were amazing , well decorated, and it was delicious.

The range of flavors is impressive, both vegan and non-vegan donuts! It made it very difficult to choose. I ended up picking the passionfruit with cocoa nibs donut ($3.80) and LOVED it. Not overly sweet and a pure, yet not overpowering, flavor of passionfruit. The actual shop is in the Lab and is a bright space with a lovely display. There isn't seating inside, but there's seating right outside in the Lab so it works perfectly. The service is phenomenal. The man serving us was very kind and answered all of

One of the best donut places around Costa Mesa! We?ve tried different flavours and the quality is always top notch! Highly recommend any matcha flavours for green tea lovers!

Cool donut shop tucked inside the LAB. Love the variety of nicely decorated vegan & non-vegan donuts. Stopped in on National Donut Day. Tried the raspberry glazed w/ pistacios & was given free mango flavoured mini donuts. Both were a treat & delish! Super friendly cashier.

These are the best doughnuts ever! I went to the shop in Harajuku often when I lived in Tokyo and was excited to find out there was a location in Costa Mesa. Parking can be difficult so try to go earlier in the day. There area a lot of flavors to choose from, including plenty of vegan options. I had the toasted coconut and nutella doughnuts. The coconut is one of my favorites! The texture of the doughnuts is on the chewy side which I love. They are expensive but worth every penny.

The best donuts! Love that it has a wide delightful vegan selection.

Best vegan donuts available near Newport Beach!! I highly recommend the mini vegan donuts so you can try them all!! ?? - Brad Bethell Founder @Vtravelmag

Mmmmmm the vegan donuts were amazing ! I want to try all the flavors . The Dough is so fresh and soft . Had the matcha and mango coconut , both were amazing !

Family owned. Donuts are all made in house. Vegan friendly.

I personally really liked the raspberry pistachio vegan donut. My kids tried the smile mango, matcha, and Nutella and they only liked the Nutella one, claiming that others were too sour. They seem fresh and not overly sweet so I guess for an older palate. Great variety is worth trying more flavors so I'll be back and see if I can change my kid's minds.

Tried their strawberry cheesecake. It did not disappoint. The strawberry acidity helps bring out the flavor of the cream. A perfect dessert after some pizza

I've missed this place so much after moving away. It's good enough to make me want to move back. The vegan lemon poppyseed donut is pure magic

Some of the best donuts you?ll find. However, one donut can be as much as $6 which is honestly the priciest I?ve seen. Even compared to sidecar which also has premium gourmet donuts, it?s quite a bit more. Personally like their matcha vegan donut ??

Amazing place with yummiest donuts! Will always buy it here-fresh, sweet, and such incredible presentation!!!

That was one of the best doughnuts I?ve had. Most doughnut shops sell only doughnuts that have eggs. So, I can really appreciate how fluffy the tiramisu cream filled donut was and it didn?t have eggs as an ingredient. The owner was nice to agree to let me leave some palm cards for a meditation event I?m helping promote. Will come back again upon my next donut craving!

Wayyyyy over priced and they just taste like $0.89 donut from Safeway I used to have in college.

OMG! I just had the Boston Cream Vegan Donut and it was absolutely incredible. It hit a spot and I didn?t even know I had! It was so fulfilling and rich! It was big enough to share with another person and still have had enough :) not too sweet or two heavy? just right! They have a ton of options and boxes with small donuts too. I wish we had this place down in San Diego!

Delicious every time. Creative and fun vegan options! Friendly staff.

Delicious and not overly priced for boujey vegan/plant based donuts. I recommend the mini box.

I had 2 donuts, one s'mores and one maple and walnut topping. They are very tasty and big.

Amazing raised doughnuts with a great vegan selection. The blood orange was tasty and sweet without any after pucker. Yum!

This place served me the best donut I've ever had. The flavor of the topping was balanced with the flavor of the dough. These donuts are excellent, and the dough absolutely stands on its own as more than a vehicle for toppings and other flavors.

So good! We got the matcha, nutella, smores, lemon poppyseed, and mango coconut.

Absolutely the best donuts I've ever had! So light and fluffy, and full of flavor. Plus they're huge! Iced coffee was excellent too. Will definitely be back!

I've heard so many good things about here so I paid a visit and let me tell you, I was not disappointed. My favorite has got to be the triple berry. Highly recommend!

While I am grateful they have vegan doughnuts, they just aren't like a donut should be - they're more like bread with frosting on top. I wish they would play with their recipe to make them more light & airy instead of dense. The choc strawberry is not good - no chocolate taste whatsoever & it literally tastes like a slice of brown, doughy bread. Unfortunately, not worth the cost.

Best thing since sliced bread!!! Closest vegan donut I?ve had that rivals Krispy Kreme. Well worth every penny and very friendly staff. Thank you

Godly donuts, coming from someone that doesn?t even like sweets that much. Great variety and a lot of plant based options

Such a wonderful place with delicious donuts and only the nicest staff. The quality of the ingredients are wonderful and they always have a great selection!

These are some of the best vegan donuts I've had. I first heard about them when they partnered with a local vegan restaurant where I live (Palm Springs) and purchased some through there. When I found out they were down the street from our hotel, we stopped by and were NOT DISAPPOINTED! We bought the mini box so we could try more flavors and also bought the Apple Cider and Maple Walnut. SOOOOO delicious! And the service was great as well! She was super helpful and knowledgeable about the products. I will def

Visited from out of town and I still think about the avocado toast. Avocado toast shouldn't be this memorable but it is here!! The bread is perfect, not too tough or dry, and the sauce they add is delicious. Homemade ginger drink is very tasty too.

Amazing vegan donut options! We tried the Valentine?s Day donuts (strawberry cereal, triple berry, raspberry pistachio, and vanilla sprinkle). My favorites were strawberry cereal and triple berry. I can?t wait to come back and check out their other vegan options!

The best vegan donuts! The cinnamon roll is amazing tastes better than any I've had vegan or not. Everything is made with such high quality even the drinks. They also sell beautiful dried flowers

The dough of the doughnut is a combination of fluffy and chunky.

This place sells the quintessential donut. I had never tasted donuts this good and they are worth every penny. Vegan cuisine has just been getting better and better exponentially and this is a perfect example. The texture/taste is indistinguishable from any other donut you might?ve had, except that it?s first class. Its light and fluffy, not cakey, they?re PERFECT. We got these vegan flavors: Apple Ginger, Triple Berry (blew my mind, my favorite), Classic glazed, Maple Walnut, Chocolate Espresso/Cocoa nibs,

Amazing vegan donuts, fluffy, doughy and simply delicious ?? !

Fantastic donuts with a really good variety. Even half of them were vegan! I had the raspberry pistachio one and it was very fluffy and the raspberry flavor was so bright and intense, it was amazing. Also had an iced coffee that was really smooth and tasty. Would definitely go again!

These are the best vegan donuts and regular donuts my family and I (and anyone I've shared them with) have ever had in our lives. My daughter said she'll never eat a regular donut again!! They're soooooo good. Seriously, you've gotta try them -- and even in this pandemic, they are staying safe and conscious of keeping others safe. Take out only!! Do yourself a favor -- go get one (or a dozen) this morning!!

Had the Lemon Poppy Seed vegan doughnut and it was sublime!!! Melted in my mouth and had excellent flavor. Took 6 home for friends and they loved theirs too (chocolate/vegan) - though they?re not vegans. Seriously - TRY the vegan donuts - they?re yummy and you don?t harm any living beings - you?ll be a better human for it. ??

The best vegan donuts ?? Glaze, cinnamon, matcha, berry, apple cider- perfect for Fall, & toasted coconut

wow! Best donuts I had in OC and I am super picky when it comes to anything sweet. Totally worth stopping by, just a heads up they are $$$

I had one after lunch and it was still fresh strawberry lemonade and my daughter had a raspberry one it was vegan

I love this place! Almost every time I am in their town, I make a stop and get 2 donuts or that cute mini box donuts. Being vegan, I have missed donuts so much and finding this place as been a dream! They are best to eat the same day or the next. And the glaze on each on has great flavor. Wish there was more places like this.

Chocolate Oreo Donut is sooo goood. One of my favorite donuts I?ve had!

If you're looking for vegan doughnuts, this place has a large assortment -- and they're ah-mazing! Most doughnut shops have one vegan doughnut if you're lucky. This place has an incredible assortment. So glad I don't live closer or I'd be buying doughnuts every day and weigh 300 lbs!

4 Stars feels too low, 5 too high. We got the berry vegan donut and it was great, but just a bit too sweet. Their drip coffee was excellent, but parking here is always a nightmare. Come early if you want a space, and I?d say it?s a 5 star experience if you get the right donut coffee combo

My husband is very happy with his vegan Boston cream birthday donut!! The owner was also very sweet!! Thanks for reserving it!!!

Just love my classic treats. Whether take-out or for dine.

The best donut place I?ve ever eaten at! Amazingly delicious donuts. It is worth every penny. I?ve never had a doughnut like this. It literally melts in your mouth.
