    Apple fritter (minus one bite) & peach buttermilk (personal favorite!!!
    Kim R.

    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!

    So special to meet the doughnut maker and have her walk through with us everything she made that morning. A sweet treat!

    A very sweet treat to meet the doughnut maker and have the full experience! Excellent food and personalized service.

    Half a dozen amazing donuts and a sprinkling of donut holes!

    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!

    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!

    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!

    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!

    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!

    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.

    Digging in...

    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! Gal workin the counter was courteous & friendly. As an artist I was digging on the art hanging & as a music lover and huge fan...the dope Beastie Boys skateboard deck.

    Who doesn't love a donut? Jelly filled is my favourite, husband loves an apple fritter. We stopped…read morein here, based on Yelp ratings, and i always read them to ensure I'm going somewhere good. I selected my Jelly Filled, she picked it out, turned around and placed it on a machine, which pumped the jelly in, right in front of my eyes! I love that! Freshly filled, so it doesn't go stale. According to one reviewer, these donuts are "pre-made" Apparently, this reviewer did not visit the bathrooms during her visit, or she would have seen the mountain of GIANT sacks of Donut mix. This kind of leads me to believe that these donuts are not pre made, along with my jelly being piped into my donut in front of me. And indeed, upon tasting it, the freshness, light, fluffy, soft - it's everything you could want a donut to be. Husband raved about his apple fritter, as he could find multiple chunks of real apple, something he gets quite sad about in other apple fritters. The coffee was hot, tasted fresh and strong, and came from dispensers, (another thing the disgruntled reviewer doesn't like) but what i like is that they also had their milks/creams in the fridge, AND they had 2% milk, which is what i use. I do not have a problem with coffee dispensers, it's efficient, and when you have a high turnover of customers, and a very small staff (a husband and wife were the only staff we could see) it makes sense to not have to also offer barista services, that would take up more time that can be spent serving customers. The coffee was fine. They also have boba, but this was morning, and we'd gotten up real early, so i needed the java. I would 100% return here, that jelly donut was so good. It's a smallish space, serviceable rather than pretty, 2 big picture windows, which is great for people watching. It has a bathroom. It has great donuts, coffee and boba. What more could you want?

    Donuts, pastries, and sandwiches were pretty fresh and legit. They were delicious and homemade…read more Coffee was also homemade and nutritious. Quick service central location and friendly owner.

I noticed a queue outside of Franny's, so I just got into line and waited, not even knowing what I was waiting for! Let me tell you, this review is coming almost 2 years later because the baked good I discovered here was so delightful and so life changing that it has resulted in an insatiable obsession for me. I went up to the counter finally and, feeling overwhelmed by the selection and display case, asked the cashier what they would recommend. I ended up with a croissant, a cookie, and the cashier-recommended canneles. I didn't even eat the cannele until the following day, and it was pure bliss. Cute little pasty about 2in tall with a crispy, caramelized experiour and moist custardy 'cake' on the inside. I had never eaten anything like it. To this day, I search far and wide for canneles and will go to great lengths to secure them. They are a rare delight simply because of the artistry and precision and expensive tools/ingredients required to make them. Franny's has a special spot in my heart for introducing me to the magical little pastry, canneles. For that, Franny gets all the stars!

Here you get to return to simpler times where you call and speak to Franny herself to order a special occasion cake and payment is cash or check only. Everything from the cake, to the savory and sweet baked goods is made with love that I couldn't resist swinging by for the savory bread pudding and some sweet treats for my mom for Mother's Day so she can taste the love too.
