The prices here felt very reasonable, especially compared to some of the other bakeries near…read moredowntown that we found overpriced and underwhelming. For pastries, we tried the cinnamon roll, a fruit brioche/danish, and the Dubai strawberry bun. The cinnamon roll was amazing--easily the highlight among the pastries. The fruit brioche was fine, but probably something I would skip next time. The Dubai strawberry bun was nicely done and pleasantly balanced, not overly sweet. For savory items, we ordered the Pepp & Gather pizza and the Brekkie Sando. Definitely get the pizza. It was simple but incredibly satisfying. The Brekkie Sando was also very filling, and the egg was cooked perfectly. The only odd part was the wait. We arrived around lunchtime, and apparently the chef had stepped out, so we ended up waiting about 20 minutes for the food. It felt a little strange during such a busy hour, but thankfully the food made up for it. In short, one of the better bakery and café experiences we had in the area.

Road tripping and in the town of Templeton, CA. We passed by this two story barn looking building…read morewith signage... Templeton Donuts & Deli. They were open and we were feeling a bit peckish and can always make room for a donut or two. So we made a U turn and off we went. The shop is on a corner lot with its own parking lot. Plenty of street parking as well. As we walked in , I quickly saw the glass counter full of picture perfect, colorful donuts sitting pretty waiting for us. These donuts were beautiful. No crinkling and buckling in the frosting. Donut frosting is tricky to get smooth. So many different types of donuts making it hard to decide. We ordered a couple of cake donuts (vanilla with pink frosting and chocolate on chocolate) and a raised chocolate glaze. Mmm. The raised donut was light and airy with the prefect slight yeasty chew. The chocolate glaze was awesome. I've eaten a lot of donuts in my lifetime, these are 5 stars. Besides donuts they serve other pastries; scones, danishes, croissants, and cookies. Breakfast burritos and breakfast sandwiches $8.95. Quiche ( whole $29.95 or slice $6.95). Local Steins bagels $4 toasted with cream cheese. There is no seating indoors. There were a few tables out on the lawn.We sat at one of the outside tables under the big ole shade tree. Leisurely eating our donuts taking a slow down and soaking in life.

The locals came by to order: An old guy had an apple fritter. A couple kids biking to their first day at school had cinnamon bar and a Dr. Pepper, and a rainbow sprinkle and a Sprite. Another man had a dozen mixed. I had a chocolate peanut donut and a medium coffee for under 5 bucks. Templeton has a genuine small town feel: a sleepy Main Street (in another era Highway 101), a central park with a bandstand, quiet at night, and no streetlights. This shop is in a barn-like structure with 3 tables inside and some tables on the lawn outside, as opposed to a strip mall. (But there's a NRA sign on the lawn. Hmm. It is cowboy country.) A nice stop on the way home from a camping trip.

The drinks were fine and the food was presented beautifully however- the breakfast burrito was essentially just a flat egg wrap which sadly didn't have anything else inside of it. The chilaquiles looked amazing but they were so spicy!! Myself and my partner only took 2 bites of the chilaquiles and had to stop. The ambiance and atmosphere was beautiful and very cozy but I don't think it was worth the $70+ we paid. Would be willing to go back however!

At the register they have the weeks selection on display. You pick what you want and then they pull it from warmers in the back and add the toppings. Then they show you them, if they are to your liking. The customer service was good. We ordered 2 Lemon Cupcake Cookies and 2 Butter Cakes. The Lemon Cupcakes were soft, with toasted edges. The frosting was light and creamy, with a refreshing lemon cutting through the sugary sweet. The Butter Cakes were cold, had to heat them up. They were completely that yellow, buttery, sugary cake, that melted in your mouth. The whipped topping was liquefied when heated but did add a nice creamy taste, almost like melted vanilla ice cream. *Overall, good, but a little steep*

Worst experience ever. Went in last night with family and wanted to get the kids a free cookie…read morebeing it was free cookie day. We were celebrating a birthday. Young lady at the front stated she was stressed and didn't have enough for our group even though she showed up three trays. She then went in the back called her manager finally came back out and said she could sell out and didn't have enough. There was a man which was a friend of hers standing there visiting with her. He asked my family for a lighter to smoke the cigarette in his hand. It's now been 10 minutes and other people were coming in. She said she didn't have enough cookies when clearly she did because she showed us the trays twice. We asked again for cookies and we wanted to buy some too. She said we were stressing her out, she then went to the back and made another call leaving over ten people in the store waiting. She called the police and told us we were being passive aggressive and asked us to leave the property with no cookies given. This was the strangest interaction I've ever had at a place like this.

To be fair, we did order a latte, so that is partly expected. The breakfast sandwich was good but a little underseasoned and could have used a bit more flavor overall. The chicken pesto sandwich was the standout. The pesto was well balanced and did not overpower the rest of the ingredients, which made the sandwich really pleasant to eat. Overall, everything was solid, though slightly pricey for the portion sizes. The food was good, but nothing especially memorable. Still, it is a nice stop if you are in the area.
