S.C. Donuts — Restaurant in San Clemente

As a local I have lived in this area for 28 years. When I lived off of Camino Del Cerro their was nothing but the high school and Carrows and McDonalds. As always stores open and close but not SC Donuts that still remains. Thank god I thought. The owner Mike could not of been a nicer kind gentleman. Not only did he sell the best donuts he made us feel like family. I loved the apple fritters and Boston creams!

I have been craving their donuts for weeks. Yesterday I made my way over there. Walked into a empty store with one man working. I wanted to see if Mike was working. So I asked the man if the owner was in. He firmly told me he's the owner. I asked if he bought it from Mike. He was upset and didn't reply ODD!!!! I looked at what donuts they had and said "theirs no apple fritters to myself before the man had his back to me. He turned around and barked back saying THEY ONLY HAVE THEM IN THE MORNING! I said that's a bummer. I thought they had Boston creams So I said I'd like to order now. Remember he's back was to me the whole time. I said I would like to order now. I'll take one Boston cream. He barked at me, their only donuts with no cream. My reply to him was when did they stop making those? He replied they don't make them anymore?!

Here we go!!! So I order a cinnamon roll with maple glaze and in back of them was powdered sugar round donut that I asked about and he replied it has lemon in it. I said that's fine I'll take that one please. He said it has lemon in it. I replied I'll take one. I continued to look for one more (again not one customer in the store) He literally turned around and walks up to the sign and it says we will not serve anybody we don't want to or something he points at it and tells me to leave. I asked him why and he starts yelling at me telling me he will not sell the donuts to me and to leave I became a little verbal back and as I was walked out with disbelief. I stood there for a minute he screamed he was going to call the cops on me. I literally wanted to laugh like what has just happened in this crazy sore. The weird thing was when I asked him about the owner and I wanted his number he continued to say he's the owner. Fyi he's not the owner by the way he was freaking out yelling to get out.

Out of curiosity I called this morning and asked if the owner was in? The woman on the phone had a thick Asian voice. She said he was not in town and hung up on me. So I drove down there to get some donuts and figure out what happened yesterday. This very nice sweet girl blonde little San Clemente girl helped me order some stuff and they do have Boston creams. Completely confused so she puts my order together I walk up to pay and ask them where is the original owner that bought the place. She goes on to tell me that he is out of town and out of the country and comes in once a year and I thought that sounded weird but whatever I just wanted my donuts. I kind of explained what happen yesterday and that mean little man comes barreling out from the back who was wearing the same clothing Yesterday which I don't think that's very healthy comes out yelling at me grabs the box and throws my credit card at me. What the heck is going on with SC donuts?

I love so many other places. Susie's cake and the Blossom both Off the charts with food and service. Surfin Donuts and Albertsons by Walmart which has amazing muffins. Yelpers always lead me in the...

I stopped ay SC Donuts and it was really slow only one person ahead of me the lady at front started helping the person before me than her husband the baker come out and ask me what I needed it and tell hem and in a very rude tone of voice he said that’s it !!! I said yes than I try to pay with my card , I was was just about to touch the pin pad and the guy grave my card out of my hand and I go I got it and he goes next time no card !!! He was very rude !!! Than I sad if you gave the pin pad it’s because you take cards correct , and he said no card !! Also I saw the price of the donuts and they add a .50 cent pot transaction but they don’t tilde the costs yet ahead a time that they charged per using the card and there is no single anywhere to be found .Also my husband and I own a business in SC and we usually buy a lot for our meetings After today we will never go back they have lost our business !! And I wish I can give them 0 starts but 1 it’s the only option . I will not recommend this place yo anyone...

In my opinion SC Donuts has probably the best tasting donuts around. On the flip side of the coin the service can be hit and miss, it feels like half the time I go in there the service is really good and the other half the I feel like the service is not very inviting and friendly as mentioned in the review below. This shop has has potential for 5 stars but I am rating four stars due to the poor customer service I have received multiple times. The last few times I have been here, I have gotten home to realize that I did not get all the donuts that I paid for. It is a very good donut shop, they just need to tighten up on their...
