My go to donut spot, as my wife has celiacs and their gluten friendly, while not certified gluten free, has never caused any reaction over the last 5 years we have been eating their. Their rewards offset the pricy nature of the donuts somewhat. Not much seating outdoors only, and in an awkward place to park. My favorite donut when the have it is the basil eggs Benedict, the kids like huckleberry, my wife likes the butter and salt. Like to get coffee there, but they get overwhelmed on the coffee front pretty easily so be prepared to just leave with donuts and a drip coffee and not a latte or expresso

Very cute restaurant located at The Camp. Service was great with friendly waitstaff, and the food was yummy. I dined with a friend who is on a strict gluten free diet, and she was happy to find discover that Vitaly had tons of gluten free options on their menu! Looking forward to trying some gelato next time.

This place is great. It's a good place to get some work done. It's spacious with lots of places to sit inside and out. They have charging docs if you need to reup your tech juice. They have some specialty menu items. I personally love the bullet proof that has cacao or the turmeric latte. They have non-dairy milk alternatives which is great. I loooove their gluten free banana bread! They also have some pretty good jams playing in the background and the staff is super friendly.

Best poke place around. I live in Fullerton but whenever we are in Costa Mesa we make it a point to stop and get poke here. They have so many good toppings and for my wife even have gluten-free options. Would definitely recommend it for anybody who's looking for some good poke.
