Seaside Bakery - Newport Beach

Love the Jalapeño cheese and ham Croissant, it is huge

Visited the place after the count after New Year and oh my... there was a long line for Donut. So you know what that means. In principle, a delicious donut shop combines with some Asian favorite drinks. The green Thai iced tea is a must. I'll be back for more and more tea.

This place is an institution for one reason. They have been selling ham and cheese croissants, doughnuts, coffee and much more for decades. The staff is always friendly, the croissants are far and away the best you can get from a 24 hour space and the price is always right. Is there usually a line? Yes. It should be a witness why so many other companies have come and gone on the pier, but this place remains just what they know and do it well. Cheers, Seaside.

The cronuts are LIFE CHANGING. Why life changing you may ask? Well, it's my first time having cronuts, and I've been dying to try the ones from Dominique Ansel's bakery in New York. Since I have nothing to compare to, this is my virgin review on cronuts. The cronuts MELT IN YOUR MOUTH, it was crisp on the outside but when you get that whole bite in your mouth, it literally melts!! Could partially be all that butter a croissant normally contains, but honestly it's amazing. I'm giving it a 4 stars instead of a 5 plainly because I thought the glazed cronut was wayyy too sweet. The chocolate glaze wasn't as sweet, but overall can be less sweet imo. However, I grew up in a household not big on sugar so my review is slightly biased (I drink boba with 0% sugar for reference). The ice coffee is decent too. There were no dining area right outside the bakery, but it would have been something great to have since it's a 24 hour bakery.

Good night vibes. Their drinks are large portions. Perfect place to get Thai tea and donuts and just talk by the beach. Open 24/7. The lady working there is really nice and friendly :
