The indoor sitting is ok. Not super clean, but clean enough. They do not have milk with coffee, they only have powder coffee-mate, which could be a room for improvement. They don't provide service. It is a self serve setting. The staff are super nice. Very very recommended.

My sweet tooth loves the apple turnovers from Valley Donuts. When I lived in Gonzales a few years…read moreand a few pounds ago, I would buy two apple turnovers probably once or twice a week. Now that I moved out of town when I am in Gonzales I try to buy their apple turnovers, I call in or have a friend go in to check if they have any. Back in the day I remember they only made two a day. Today that is still the case So for me the place has become a hit or miss. I go just for the turnovers. All the other items they have are good too though. You guys should try the Apple turnovers. They are Good! $3.50 each But keep in mind they only make two a day! My other fave are the ham and cheese croissants.

The owner is a gem of a human (so was his dad RIP) and this is a gem of a donut shop. Memories of…read morechildhood and high school come flooding back as I step through the doors. The well cared for tables with attached seats, the sweet smell, the glass case, the bags of fresh donut holes on the counter, the nods from the regulars having their daily coffee, Alex's "hello" and soft smile as he walks around the corner from the kitchen...same as they ever were. This has got to be the most consistent business ran by a single person that I have seen in my life. The work ethic of this man is unrivaled, and I practically have to run out the door to get him to keep a tip. As Alex gets older, I get saddened to think about the day that this spot may no longer be here....when that day comes, there will be a hole in the heart of this town. Favorites are glazed raised, glazed twist, apple fritter, and the glazed buttermilk bar.

Great donuts! Went in to the shop on Saturday afternoon, and didn't have much of a wait - got a…read morenormal yeast glazed and then a chocolate covered donut (powdered cocoa). They made the donuts to order, but only took a few minutes. The normal glazed donut was crispy, chewy, and soft on the inside! The chocolate one had a really thick coating of cocoa powder though, which was a little messy and changed the texture. Would definitely recommend if you're fine with splurging $5 on a donut.

My daughter requested donuts and we came across this place. The donuts looked promising and it was…read morebusy, and luckily we made it about 30 minutes before closing time. We got the blueberry, cherry, and gluten free donuts. We had a short wait and then got our donuts warm. We had to let them cool and then my kids seemed to enjoy the cherry. When my son started eating the blueberry one though, he said it was like dough. I didn't think much of it until he opened it up and I realized it was raw/undercooked dough. This was really disappointing and I had to toss both blueberry donuts. The donuts looked a bit messy and rustic but it didn't bother me honestly. The undercooked donuts are a major issue though. I had the gluten free donut and it was very sweet and dense. It's almost like they added double glaze to hide the flavor and texture of the donut itself. I wanted to like this place but food safety is a huge priority for me and I don't think I would return sadly.

Kristys Donuts are very light and fluffy/flakey…read more It definitely tastes like they change and take care of the oil they're dunking their donuts into. Out of: glazed, cake with sprinkles, chocolate glaze, maple bar, maple donuts and creme filled chocolate here are my rankings in order of best to worst: 1. Glazed - I'm plain. I judge a donut by its base and I enjoy that nice pure taste of a fresh glazed donuts. It was flakey and fluffy, the glaze wasn't too sweet and wasn't sticky and gross. It was all a very good package. 2. Cake with Sprinkles - ok, first - I don't like cake donuts. I love cake, I love donuts - but they're two separate entities. However, this cake donut (chocolate or vanilla with sprinkles) blew my mind. It was still kinda hot, crispy on the outside and soft and taste on the inside. If you ever tried an Andagi this is EXACTLY what they taste like. This was a hard #2 3. Chocolate with filling - it was good, but I love frills and the custard filling was a grill. The donut was good and the filling wasn't too sweet. 4. Chocolate Glaze And then the maple bar and maple donut were too sweet for me. In any case I took one for the maple bar and then also because I think Salinas donut is giving them a run for their money. I enjoyed this donut but the location and taste will keep me Salinas donut loyal.

They also sell beverages, hot breakfast meals, salads and other items. Service was fast, employees are helpful, one woman has worked there since I was a kid, she's not the friendliest but gets the job done efficiently. They have tables for dine in. No bathrooms. The shop is located in a shopping area that is frankly a little ghetto but over the years I've never had a problem with anyone. Definitely lock your doors here. I will definitely be back next time I'm in town.
