Customer Reviews

Was up in Rancho Santa Margarita and decided to give this little donut place a try. Enjoyed the smoothie and Mocha drinks. Also had a toasted everything bagel and a couple donuts. Great quality and taste.

This place is under new management and customer service is way better than before. From Salads, sandwiches to bagels, coffee and boba drinks. The food at Scott's Donuts & Bagels is great.

Best quick to go place especially on peoples work/lunch break it?s amazing!!! Must recommend been going here for 13 years

Under new ownership, and although I do miss the old owners, everything is amazing! Especially love the breakfast burritos and variety of fresh donuts. Service is quick and sincere and prices are very fair.

Edit... total garbage. Out of donuts by 9am on a Sunday... What a waste. Way too expensive. A breakfast burrito, no larger than a bean and cheese you'd get from Taco Bell or Del Taco, cost $12 after tax... For $12 it should be a large burrito. I miss the old Vietnamese couple and their children that ran the place. They brought personality to Scott's. If it's B?nh m? or Vietnamese coffee you're after, I recommend skipping Scott's and heading over to Pho O-Oh Tasty.

This sweet little shop was recommended by a friend. I was having a meeting to get our office back on track and the breakfast and lunch items were "GREAT". I was quite surprised how this mom and pop shop was able to handle my large order as well as the number of people walking in the door. I have been there several times since, they have great service despite it being a family business. They do make mistakes some times not often, but who is perfect and with the number of people that enjoy the food they p

I?ve been coming here for over 20 years. I decided I?m going to make sure everybody knows that when it comes to donuts, breakfast sandwiches, and in particular their turkey bacon club sandwich, you can do no wrong. The cost is always right. Everything always taste great. I?ve come to know Jenny and admire her and her husbands work ethic. Good people. Good business. Good product.

This place is indeed more than just donuts. The sandwiches are incredible! Fresh ingredients and fresh bread are the key, and they are made with care. Seems to always be pretty busy at lunch time, which is what made me go in there the first time. I wanted to see why the line was out the door. I ordered the Vietnamese BBQ pork sandwich, and the flavors are unreal. You can't really find a sandwich like this in RSM anywhere else. The other sandwiches look amazing as well, but I haven't been able to NOT get the

I visited this shop today. It had the most delicious and fresh donuts I've ever had. The staff was incredibly friendly, making the whole experience even better. Highly recommended!

First time coming to this place today. The staff was super kind and helpful. The smoothies are really good!

If I could give negative stars I would. I've been to this location for coffee and bagel sandwich twice. Both times I was rushed and pushed by the person taking my order. She literally said "come on, come on, what else?" Then got mad at me for asking for mayo after she had given me my sandwich. She said "give it here, you're taking too long, next time tell me when you placed your order." First of all I would have assumed it came with it and second of all I already paid for this sandwich the decency of you pu

Scotts Donuts and Bagels offers so much more than Donuts and Bagels. I go here often because the Sandwiches are amazing ( French Baguette bread) and the Salads are Large and very tasty! They make things the way you want them. Jenny and Tony will take care of you and they really do a great job considering the amount of traffic always running in and out. It is not upscale but the place is friendly and has really good quick meals. I always enjoy stopping in here.

Horrible customer service. Employees don't wear masks, gloves while touching food. And talk on their cell phone for personal calls with friends instead of caring about customers. I had to wait 5 minutes to place and order because employee was having a conversation with a friend about bitcoin. I came hoping for good Vietnamese coffee and food with decent service. I wouldn't even come back if it was free.

The B.B.Q. pork sandwich was the bomb, so much meat and the seasoning was perfect! The owners are very sweet and friendly. Was my first time but will definitely be back again soon.

Probably the best donut shop in RSM. My family, including me, loves coming here for ham, egg, and cheese croissant sandwiches. Oh yeah, plus a donut. Which they are always fresh and tasty. In addition, they have plenty of different flavored coffees to choose from, along with traditional regular coffee.

Besides Donuts, they sell Vietnamese sandwiches (Banh Mi) which is a small part of their menu. I highly recommend BBQ Pork or Chicken sandwiches and their Special Sandwich is cold cuts and home made Chicken Pate. What make their sandwiches stand out is their crusty baguette not too heavy on the dough. Love this place. The wait can be long because it's family owned runs by husband and wife.

I moved away from California and still crave their bbq beef sandwich. No other vietnamese place has gotten their bahn mi to meet the same level as here. I highly suggest it.

They charged me 3 times for a single transaction. I called them explaining what happened. They say how do we know you didn't buy the same thing 3 times... so they call their processor, see 3 transactions in a 2 minute span. Tell me they will refund my card but never do. Screw this place. Selection always sucks too and over priced

Sad little donut shop. Their croissants look like they were doggy bagged from an airline. Not much passion going on.

Food is great. Customer service experience sucks. Lady infront always in a hurry. Guy helping out was rude. I know you guys are busy. But it doesn't mean you can be rude. Even on slow hours it's the same. Geez. You can't handle the pressure. Go hire someone

Every Sunday, My husband buy's 1 dozen of Donuts for our church family in "Living Water Community Church. The owner never fails to give us a big discount Everytime! May God continue to prosper them for their kindness to us!

I tried the Italian Trio sandwich on the baguette and it was delicious! The bread is so fresh! Note: if you don't like peppercinis, remember to ask them to leave them off.

Never going back. Had several bad experiences with the rude Lady there. My last visit I ordered a Meal with a drink and she argued that I didn't order a meal when I clearly said and point at the meal and the she said ok a number 1 and I said yes, and the picture has a drink and I paid the amount that the meal cost.

Been going here for 25+ years. Kids love it. Wife loves it. I love it. Jenny is the greatest. And above all! The donuts are delicious. The best around!

The donuts are fresh and have great flavor. The people working at the counter were super friendly and nice to be around.

This is the best place around. Food is great. The service is a little slow sometimes but the husband and wife that work there are on their game.

Fish oil (Pam) on the eggs, made what would have been a good croissant sandwich not as yummy. The apple fritter was tasty though.

Great place for breakfast. My go to spot for a great breakfast croissant sandwich. Good coffee at the ready and fast friendly service.

Stopped here to get some donuts for work. They didn't look fresh and the store itself didn't look like it had been cleaned up for awhile. After waiting for 10 minutes, I thought better of it and went somewhere else.

Just horrible... wont make something she doesnt wanna make because the item takes to long..but it's on the menu.. and theres only me and 1 other person...took 9 min to get a donut had to wait for two workers to make one other person's bagel..just horrible...

I love Jenny and her family! They work so hard and I love their food. They have been supplying our church with donuts for years.

New ownership has jacked the prices up with bad quality food and smaller portions. Doesn?t make sense won?t be returning. Jenny kept this place alive

I love this place, it'super close to home, and breakfast sandwiches are a delish. Plus watching the owners argue is real life Tele-novela??

Shoutout to the owner.gave me 2extra donuts of my choice coz she said i was cute.lol but their donuts are really good and they have this buy2 get 1 donut of the same kind after 12pm.

The hours are displayed incorrectly outside of the store, and they don?t serve bagels until an hour after opening. I came back an hour later to below average bagels. I wont be back.

the food is awesome but the service is poor every time I go, I believe she's the owner. but she's always rude and unfriendly

I've been going for 20 years - Jenny is amazing! Fantastic sandwiches and bagels.

the food is good however its kinda of horrible customer service over the phone, we place orders every sunday for 15+ people you would think they would be willing to make a few of them with special requests.

Seriously love this place, the donuts are so good and a lot of them are huge

The donuts here are soo ?? good. Best donuts in the RSM area by far! Way way better than KD?s stale tasting ???? donuts

Come here a couple times a week because I their breakfast sandwiches are so good

Have been eating here for years and it's always good food. Sandwiches, donuts, bagels, etc

Not much to like about this place. Almost walked out while placing my order because the old broad behind the counter is flat out rude. Will never go back.

I grew up here in rsm and Scott's has been around a long time. Always loved it.

Donuts hot off the frier melt in your mouth at 500am They offer great food and friendly service

Good fast service. Very good quality fresh begets, croissant and donuts.

The lady owner is very rude and doesn?t care if you are there or not. Pointed out a cockroach to her and she didn?t care. Health department needs to be contacted.

Great coffee, fresh cooked bagel breakfast sandwiches, and incredible apple fritters!

Onion bagel had no trace of onion and no variations of plain cream cheese. What a disaster.

Delicious, affordable local donut sandwich shop. Recommended!

This place has changed ownership and the prices have shot up and quality deteriorated.
