We were on our way out of Watsonville for the weekend, and I heard the Doughnut Basket has fantastic breakfast burritos. We were not disappointed! Great selection of doughnuts, breakfast sandwiches, and burritos. They also offer a great selection of coffee at the self-serve coffee bar. Incredibly affordable prices, too. Decent seating inside. Great for us on a very hot morning. I loved the apple fritter. Not the best I have had but good. The burrito was large. Easy to split and share or to save half for later. Filled primarily with egg, but there was a fair bit of bacon as well. The service here truly shined. The gentleman who served us was kind and hospitable. He offered to cut the burrito in half when I asked for a knife. He also made sure to brew fresh coffee when the one I wanted was out, although there were other coffees available. The many 5-star reviews here are certainly well deserved. read more

Doughnut Basket - Matcha iced Number 5 w/ jalapeños - Donuts Near Me - Watsonville, California

This is the place to get not just your donuts, but your breakfast sandwiches and your lunch sandwiches. Made up on the spot and worth the few minutes to have them made to order. Great couple that owns this establishment. Always generous with fund raising events for our church. Our church prepares food for the Hungry every Monday afternoon. It is served at the Salvation Army in Watsonville. Michael, the owner donated 3 big boxes of donuts to serve to them. Stop in and say hello. read more

My family loves their bagel/croissant sandwiches! They have a wide assortment. And their donuts are delicious too.

Breakfast sandwich's are amazing there quick and have great matcha drinks. Perfect place for a quick run.

I always wondered about this place in town and now that I work near by I finally had a chance to stop in today. I am hooked! Great donuts I bought a box of assorted and all of them look tasty! I shared them with my co-workers and everyone loved them. Prices are reasonable for what you get, the donuts are fresh and delicious! The staff is gracious and attentive. I will definitely return. I'll pass any other donut shop in town. Thank you! :-) read more

My first time here and I'll be back. The breakfast sandwich was good and not a bad price. The service was fast and friendly. This was way better than Bagel Cafe! read more

We won't be back. My son decided he wanted to buy 3 dozen donuts for his friends at camp. He called in this morning to order the donuts. When we went to pick them up, whoever was manning the shop rudely informed us that "You just bought all my chocolate and glazed donuts, now I have nothing to sell. There are people who come in every day to buy those donuts and now I don't have any and it takes six hours to make more!" Last I checked, you're in business to sell donuts, but if that's an issue, we'll take our business to another donut shop that doesn't complain about selling their product. read more

I ordered the #5 breakfast sandwich. I like how they cook the eggs right there rather than having them pre made like some donut shops. Overall it was good for the price. You can't expect a lot from a donut shop. But I'll go back for something quick and easy. read more

Im an Uber driver and I travel a lot. Finding a good place to eat with variety that is reasonably priced is some times challenging but the Donut Basket did not disappoint. Whether you want a breakfast sandwich on a bagel or wrapped in a tortilla or a burger or a chef's sandwich for lunch. They have you covered...Oh and i forgot to mention fresh coffee or a smoothie and DONUTS...How could i forget donuts.. Thank you guys for your awesome hospitality.. You guys ROCK!!! Great spirit in this place. I felt like i was at home amongst family!!! read more

Owner was super attentive, our donuts were delicious! my go to place for donuts. I just noticed they offer Thai tea can't wait to order some! read more

The lady kept her back to me and did not acknowledge me for about 30-40 seconds. Then, she said, "It will be a second." I guess it was her husband came out from the back and helped me. The donuts were very good but I gave the four star score for the service. read more

We love the Donut Basket and it's small town charm. The owner Mike and his wife work day and night to keep their business thriving . They are here living out there American dream since they are both from Cambodia. The food is reasonable and I love their breakfast croissants and donuts of course . read more

Plus they have boba & coffee! Its my 2nd time going and Ill prob come again whenever I have the chance. Will post a picture next time! read more

Great tasting donuts and friendly staff. I had the Thai tea as well , it was not the best but still pretty good.

The food is great. The environment is near my home. The workers seem to understand what you want in a order but just alittle outdated features it has like the register and the interior of the cafe. But i always come back for the great breakfast sandwiches and donuts. Would recommend this place. Just don't get your high standards for the whole experience. It's a simple order, wait and be on your way. read more

I ordered a breakfast combo burrito......it was horrible smelled funny, bacon was raw, no sausage, way to much egg. Took 3 bites done. But I did get a glazed donut th hat was good deserves a few stars for that. Not the amigos I was expecting. read more

Got an old-fashioned, they make GREAT cake donuts. Not too dense like most places. Got a cream filled regular donut too and the dough is eggy and very fresh, the cream seemed like packaged vanilla pudding though. Also a nun was there at the same time so Jesus must be down with this place. Seriously, best cake donut I've had ever. read more

Best place to go to for a quick and delicious brunch! Their service and hospitality is great. They have some vegetarian options which is a plus! Doughnut Basket is family owned and the environment is extremely friendly and welcoming. Love love love this place!! read more

Old men around the table is always a good indication of a quality doughnut shop and I wasn't disappointed. I always go for the golden mean of doughnuts, which is an old fashion chocolate and chocolate glazed raised. Both are better than average doughnuts. If I had to do a doughnut crawl this would be one of my stops. read more

Let me start off by saying the staff is the sweetest The food is great! Quick and delicious! There's a wide selection of breakfast sandwiches and I must admit they have the best donuts in town, #5 is my favorite! I definitely recommend this spot :) read more

Early morning coffee and donut is optimum. Since sold the new owner never has donuts ready and the customer service is horrible. You'll be waiting in line very long just to pay for something while the other worker is making sandwiches. They need more help to perform better this saving money is hurting the customer base read more

I come here on my lunch break the coffee is so good not to strong just how I like it. The food is delicious. The people that work here are so nice and friendly. read more

Slight language barrier when ordering, but this place is great. My father comes here everyday always gets number 27 for him and his dog with a small cinnamon tea. When I come along my usual is number 24, if not then number 5. Either way everything I've ordered is delicious. I try really hard not to have donuts but they are so good. Hard to resist read more

Doughnut Basket - Thai iced tea is my favorite - Donuts Near Me - Watsonville, California

With the understanding of what this place is, it is important to note that you are not going to walk into a nice looking, fancy joint; yet, I am sure you will enjoy the food very much! This looks like your typical doughnut shop. A counter displaying an array of yummy doughnuts, a self-service coffee station on the corner and a picture-posted menu on the wall, which in my opinion is helpful in deciding what to order. I must agree with B H. regarding the friendlyness of the Staff; not great, but nice. By the way, the napkings are on the little basket by the register and by the coffee station for you to help yourself. I had the chorizo & egg croissant and it was amazing (and not too greasy!) The bottom line: If you are looking for a fancy seated breakfast place with fancy plates, coffee and prices, this is not your stop (though you will miss out on the great food). If you just want to grab a quick, tasty and reasonably priced breakfast sandwich, croissant, burrito or bagel, you better try this place. You'll be hooked! read more

This place will charge you to remove items from a menu item. Also the language barrier is so bad that it sounds as if they are screaming at you with little to no comprehension. Nob hill shopping center has a donut store that produces better donuts. read more

The Donuts here are always really fresh and great! Their breakfast burrito is the most affordable and best tasting in the area; and they have a vegetarian burrito option that is actually very delicious. They have a wide variety of drinks in their coolers, and even sell milk tea with boba! If they sold better quality coffee I might just give them five stars, but that's virtually my only complaint. read more

Maybe my expectations were too high, but I was definitely disappointed when leaving this place. First off, I ordered #27, which is a bagel with ham, egg, and cheese. It came with MAYO slathered on both sides of it; this is unusual, no other bagel place does this to their breakfast bagels and I really would have appreciated a warning. It was disgusting. But since I didn't want to seem like a b**** I just sucked it up and had to waste hella napkins trying to get all the mayo off. Second off, I ordered a hot tea. The tea bags are there for you to grab yourself, as are the cups as well as all the different types of coffee. I assumed I could get hot water to fill my cup on my own, but I was wrong so I had to ask her to get it for me. She said "oh yeah" and my first thought was, why didn't you automatically give me a cup with hot water if you clearly are the only one who can provide me with the hot water? This part isn't such a big deal but is now amplified because of the other disappointments! Thirdly, we were never asked whether we wanted our food "for here or to go". But of course every single customer after us was asked whether they wanted it "for here or to go". (I didn't notice about the people before us). That's just rude. Of course we just took our wrapped food out of the wasted paper bag they gave us and still ate it there. Lastly, it IS a donut shop. We didn't try the donuts but they looked great and honestly, how can you f*** up on making donuts though? (this is why I am giving 2 stars and not 1, I'm sure this place does a great job with donuts, but not with anything else including customer service) We just didn't want to drive all the way to Capitola to Main Street Bagels, which is my absolute favorite place for breakfast bagels/sandwiches. Needless to say I guess the drive is necessary since Donut Basket fails to deliver an appropriate breakfast bagel AND skimps on customer service. read more

The donuts and breakfast sandwiches here are really good and the place is very clean. But, the staff is kind of rude/short and they never give you a napkin... read more

imean come on,were just human right? slight language barrier yes,but who cares.the food is great,i wake up at 5 am every morning and go order a combo burrito,it comes with Sausage,Baccon,Halm,eggs,and potatoes,and for a few extra dollars wich is so worth it,you add avocado and extra baccon,dude,grab a straw berry kiwi snapple and your good to go, they say they open at 5:30 but there usually open by 5:15, the owner cooks all the food for you ,he works every day,you can really see the pride he takes in his buisness,the kitchen is clean and there donughts are ok, but there food is really good,its worth it,they have a secret mexican food menu too, order the Platos especiales or anything with asada, read more
