We stopped by on our way out of town and the donuts we got were delicious!!! Small batch and fresh!!

Great donuts if you can get some. Opens late and closes early. Today, none at all. Inconsistent to say the least. With an attitude of, you get what you get don't throw a fit. read more

We changed our plans just to get these donuts. We read you have to get here close to when they open or they sell out which was a bit inconvenient because we had to delay our hike. It's worth the logistical challenge though! My husband and I shared Passion Fruit, Chai Spice, and Strawberry donuts. I love passion fruit so that was hands down my favorite. All of the donuts were good though! read more

The service was amazing, the coffee & espresso were rich with flavor! Now the star of the show... the cinnamon sugar donut was perfectly coated, the bread was so pillowy and paired perfectly with our coffee! The atmosphere was calm, decor was interactive (not pictured, a world map with stickers to indicate where you're visiting from and your favorite beach) with picture books to look through! Booths for just you and yours, or a small group and they also had a section of barstools! read more

Every time I visit Fort Bragg I am at drop in donuts when they open at 7:30, when they open. With a traditional donut shop ambiance, the donuts are elevated! Unique flavors and great service. Someone we were traveling with went by at nine and they were already sold out so go early. Best treat in Fort Bragg! read more

Drop In Donuts was delicious! Right when you arrive, there was a line forming, so we knew it must be good. The ambiance was very cute and simple. We ordered some sugar donuts, chocolate and cinnamon rolls. The cinnamon rolls were so soft and amazing! We all enjoyed what we picked, and we will definitely be back! read more

Few things could have pleased me more when turning 60 than waking up to find that my husband snuck out at 7am on a Saturday morning to stand in line waiting for Drop In Donuts to open so he could surprise me with a half-dozen donuts, each representing a decade I've spent on this planet. Well, maybe beer would be a tie, but not at 7am... and besides, that would be a different review. But back to Drop In Donuts. Drop In Donuts is so popular in the Fort Bragg/Mendocino Coast area and their donuts so damned delicious that you need to wake up at ungodly hours while on holiday there just to get a taste before they sell out. And they always sell out fairly quickly! Yeah, they're that good. This small shop features raised donuts as well as cake and traditional cruller style donuts on their menu. And according to their menu, they also occasionally have malasadas available, and apple fritters (but only on Friday). Drop In Donuts also features a rotating seasonal selection of ingredients and flavors. This time of year (November) featured coffee glazed and pumpkin spice glazed risen donuts. They were both soft and sticky and utterly delicious. Apparently the husband said they had a guava glazed donut, but he decided on a few other flavors like passion fruit glazed, coconut flake glazed, Mexican hot chocolate cake donut, and cinnamon sugar cake donut. They even threw in a complimentary handful of sugar coated donut holes in the box. Nice touch! If I knew turning 60 would be this delicious, I would have celebrated sooner! Thanks Drop In Donuts for making my turning 6-decades-old a little less traumatic! read more

Drop In Donuts - So special to meet the doughnut maker and have her walk through with us everything she made that morning. A sweet treat! - Donuts Near Me - Fort Bragg, California

Stopped in here when on vacation. The donuts look super cute, great presentation. The shop is very cute. The lady that helped was very nice. As for the donuts they all tasted the same. It was the same dough for every donut. The only thing that was different was the icing colors & slight flavors that were added. But again the icing was also the same. The donuts are big but they are very overpriced. If they had a consistent shop that was open early morning to mid afternoon they would probably get more customers and not have to charge so much. I wish I had a different review to make. read more

This business was closed. I saw all the pictures and it said open online but when we arrived it was completely empty as if its been out of business. read more

The donuts were fresh and delicious. We got a maple old fashioned, a maple bar, and an apple fritter. All so good. The shop was really clean and the selection of donuts were good! We will definitely be back! read more

Finally got the chance to check this place out. Their Mexican hot chocolate cake donuts were delicious! I got a mixed dozen and everything was pretty good. They even threw in a couple donut holes, I was pleasantly surprised when I opened the box. Their orange hibiscus glaze was so interesting and surprisingly really good, I don't usually like orange/lemon flavors in sweets. The raise donuts were more dense than I'm used to but they had a good flavor. Service was great and there was plenty of seating! read more

Really wanted to love this place but average at best. We ordered everything for 2 straight days and nothing stood out...

So, I have to give Drop In Donuts based, not just our experience but the fact that this place has been discovered by others. We arrived at 9am on a Saturday and basically, almost all the donuts were sold. When they're gone, the store is closed. I had a Mexican chocolate donut and my wife had a cinnamon sugar donut - both excellent. The Mexican chocolate donut was very much like a Mexican hot chocolate - sweet with a little heat. Wonderful. Coffee was okay - not bad, but nothing fantastic. I asked the very nice guy behind the counter if this was normal and his reply was "today was pretty slow." Pretty slow? Almost sold out in less than 2 hours and that is slow? So, if you want max choices, you need to get there when they open - and that tells you a lot. read more

My 'day off' started early as I'm not a big sleeper. It must be becauseI am #HanSolo. I grabbed my phone to see what laundromat was open early. So it was off to Columbi's, who opened far earlier than anyone else, where I heard the dryers were fire. That meant I needed to get some nourishment leaving me with few options. I decided for sweets, something I don't normally do for breakfast, BUT I can say Drop In Donut might make me change my mind. The place is warm and welcoming where you are greeted warmly even if you aren't a local. As you can see the selection is very strong with great choices to fit every palette. I chose an old fashioned which I hungrily devoured. I chose a cinnamon roll as it's the favorite of my kids and boy is it an eye opener... it is ginormous and I'm not just saying that because I'm a guy. The picture does not do it justice and I'm a HUGE (is that a faux pas now that it's another election year ) fan. Lastly, but not least, was the fabulous cold brew they serve. Fort Bragg if you are ever up with the sun needing a pick me, wanna treat the family to something special or whatever, stop by Drop in Donut it will be worth it!

Best donut that I have EVER had!!!!! We had a Portuguese Malasada with Raspberry crème, a raised donut with pumpkin glaze and an old fashion donut with Meyer's lemon glaze. Delish!!! Well worth a stop if you are traveling along the California coast. read more

I've been coming to Fort Bragg 10 times per year and have spent summers here with my local folks for 25 years, so I know that Fort Bragg has needed a good donut shop for a long time; unfortunately, this is not the one. I bought 7 donuts and a cinnamon roll (no price listed for the cinnamon roll) for my family, and my total was $35.50. I found out later that the cinnamon roll was $7.50, but it was no different than the rest of the donuts. These donuts are CHEWY and tough. They all taste the same, and the flavors in the icing were difficult to detect. Also, the donuts were stacked on top of each other in the box, making a sticky mess out of all of the icing. Ugh! I'm all in for supporting small businesses; however, this one makes it too hard to do so. High price point and mediocre donuts at best. Good luck to you. read more

Amazing artisan donuts in Fort Bragg! This is not your maple bar or even maple bacon bar establishment, this is yummy, fresh, and interesting flavors. The owners were really friendly and we enjoyed a buttermilk cake, strawberry, vanilla bean, and Mexican hot coco donut. Along with strawberry fritter and donut holes. The flavor and textures were amazing. Enjoyed a delicious coffee and almond milk latte. Can't wait to come back for the hot chocolate donut, beware it does have a little kick to it but wow the flavor left me wanting more! read more

I cant help myself sometimes. I just saw the donut sign and walked in. I think I blacked out. The employees were so nice! They even let us come in with our big brute of a dog. They were so sweet. The locals hanging out were also so fun to chat with. We came in a little late. So the selection of donuts was minimal. It certainly didn't stop me from enjoying a Strawberry Donut. My man got the Chocolate with sprinkles. The Strawberry was very good. Chocolate was awesome! We took our food and walked around. It was great little morning walk about snack. Ill need to come in earlier to get some of the other flavors. read more

What a variety of donuts! All were pretty epic - both cake and raised. The Mexican Hot Chocolate and the Orange Blossom buttermilk donuts were spectacular. Not cheap - but a pretty amazing place for sleepy Fort Bragg. Staff was friendly and helpful. Nice basic table seating inside. Coffee and orange juice were good. read more

Well I must say if you're lookin for a homemade always different, no grease tasting donut. THIS I'd the pla e to go. They don't make the same ones everyday, which I love. I suggest you come in right when they open cuz they sell out fast, and of course with such great sweets, it's no doubt they're sold buy such sweet people! Thank you for the donuts with a smile. read more

Idk if this was just the bunch that me and my family got, but we were all kind of unimpressed by this place. I mean, it was ok but we can get WAY better donuts at like Krispy Kreme. read more

We loved the donuts from here! We accidentally discovered this place while driving through Fort Bragg. We stopped to see if we could try an apple fritter but the owner only makes them on Fridays so we were out of luck. But we tried a couple of other donuts - Meyer lemon and a cinnamon roll. They both were fantastic! Still warm from the oven, moist, flavorful, and absolutely delicious! The owner only makes about 8-10 different kinds of donuts each day so the selection is limited, but I'd rather have someone do something well and in limited selection than mediocre and a lot of it. I'm positive you can't go wrong with anything you choose at this place. We'll be driving back through Fort Bragg in a few days and we plan to stop again and this time it will be Friday so we'll try for that apple fritter AND we plan to try everything else as well. Definitely recommend stopping here if you're in Fort Bragg. Go early because when they sell out, that's it for the day. Loved it! read more

Yum... Fresh, delicious, not greasy. Nice large size. So YUM! Lovely atmosphere. Relaxing. Came a little late in the morning so pickings were slim, but they had what we wanted so YAY!

This is a cute little donut shop just off Hwy 1. Because of it's convenient location and great yelp rating, we decided to give it a try. The parking out front is loading/unloading, so you may have to drive a bit to find a spot. The employee was nice and was wearing a mask. My husband felt the donuts were a smidge pricey at $2.50 each, but to be fair, they are larger than an average donut. We tried Passion Fruit and you could really taste the passion fruit flavor. We also tried Blackberry which was just a plain donut with a little blackberry flavor in the frosting. The donuts themselves were chewy and a bit tough; not dry or super dense exactly, but we did not like feeling that we had to bite hard and really tear our donut to get a piece off. Between the price point, flavors offered and strange consistency of the product, this place is just not for us. We would not return but don't let that stop you from giving it a try. read more

These were some of the best donuts I've ever had! Highly recommend! The old fashioned donuts were absolutely delightful.

Really unique flavors, decent drip coffee. The donuts are huge! Which, since they are small batch that makes total sense. We showed up at 10:30am and the selection was still decent. I selected Guava because I'd never seen that flavor in the wild before. My wife got vanilla bean because the chocolate was chocolate rose and floral flavors are a no go for us. The dough is unlike anything we've had before. It has great vanilla flavor. It's airy but also really chewy. Definitely worth checking this place out. Also their logo/merch is cool! read more

TL;DR - Fun flavors and fair prices! A peek-a-boo shopfront right off Highway 1 in Fort Bragg offers affordable, fun donuts to fuel you for the next leg on your trip. Each donut is $2.50, and while they don't open late afternoon, they might run out of your favorite flavor if you don't get there in time! They also offer coffee and other hot beverages. Each time we visited, there was a line, so expect the same for your trip as well! We tried four flavors: - Blueberry - the BEST. It tasted so fresh and lovely. - Vanilla - good, but safe. - Coffee - had little broken coffee beans on top, really fun and subtle. - Peach - my second favorite, very sweet. The cake for the donut was a bit thick - don't expect it to be anything like Krispy Kreme. I honestly liked it that way! read more

Nice little donut shop tucked in a side street off highway 1. The staff were friendly. Smart covid-19 precautions are in place. The display cabinet in in the doorway allowing you to see the selections. They all look terrific. They were already out of the maple donuts but had lots of other selections. The beverage choices were simple, no espresso. I had a decaf with 1/2&1/2 and a chocolate sprinkle donut. Both tasted good. Glad we don't live closer or I'm sure we would be gaining weight from consuming them. read more

Their donut bread pudding is sooo good!! if you want something sweet and tasty, but don't want to get a traditional donut, the donut bread pudding is the one you need to get!! It's more dense and more moist than a regular donut, and so two people can share a piece! This place has good customer service as well. Very friendly staff! read more

This place was an amazing find. Fantastic donuts (the people who didn't like them in other reviews should just go to Safeway and buy a basic box and call it a day).
