This was the first that I tried in Santa Cruz. The bagels were small, dense, and dry. No real hole in the bagel either. It seemed to me that they don't understand that bagels need to be proofed twice. We tried two bagels, cheese/jalapeno and blueberry. The blueberry taste was ok, but the bagel was a chunk of lead. The cheese/jalapeno, my go-to, had zero cheese, as far as I could tell, and not much jalapeno. And, again, a chunk of lead. The coffee was very good, but why is the medium so small and they didn't fill it? It's definitely a NO!

I believe this yelp site is in desperate need of update as the business name does not reflect the…read moreproducts sold. To be clear, yes, they sell donuts, but no, they do not sell ice cream; and, furthermore, it feels as though the donuts only exist because of the lottery tickets and scratchers that they sell as those have a better selection than donuts. That said, I did purchase a donut from their meager selection in the afternoon. Not sure if that selection was limited by the time of day, or simply reflects all that they have but the donut was decent, I believe it was called a cinnamon crunch, but the remaining selection of donuts were a small collection of cake and old-fashioned. Still not sure why ice cream is listed in the name as the sign outside the business does not reflect that either. I went to purchase my donut only to learn that they only accept credit cards for purchases over three dollars. Good to know my donut was under three dollars, disappointing if you fail to bring cash they have a decent sized sitting area in the back behind the lottery section. Ironically, I feel as though it is more generous than the area used to sell their tickets and donuts, the attendant was neither nor cordial. Experience was less than memorable. The only reason I chose to do a review to help others avoid a similar disappointment. My final advice, walk across the street buy some box donuts from Grocery Outlet and you'll be similarly pleased.

That kind of customer service is almost extinct these days. Most places make you feel like you're inconveniencing them if you ask for a sample--looking at you, Baskin-Robbins. The donut itself was amazing. You could immediately tell it was made with better ingredients than what most places use. It was warm, fresh, rich, and actually tasted homemade instead of mass-produced. The chocolate flavor was spot on, and the texture was perfect. What really stood out, though, was the generosity. The owner was confident enough in his product to hand me a warm donut and say, "Here, try this." That simple gesture turned me from someone just walking by into a customer for life. Great donuts, great ingredients, and even better customer service. In a world where genuine hospitality is getting harder to find, this place is doing it right. Highly recommend.

We decided to stop in this location to get a sandwich when originally we were gonna stop at the bagel place, but we remembered how absolutely sweet she was at the counter The in-house made croissants were absolutely to die for the sandwiches were filling and plentiful, and the blueberry donuts were probably the best I've ever tried and I am sort of a blueberry donut connoisseur being that they're my favorite lol it is a very old-school Classic donut shop vibe - very clean very inviting with Space to sit. You're all set here. Don't be surprised if you go and you are so taken back by how unbelievably kind and sweet this young lady is, and I have to mention an incredibly hard worker.
