Im Done! I have for years told everybody this is the best donut shop in Monterey County. And as far as their donuts that is correct they are the best donut shop in Monterey County. However I'm reducing them to one star. The reason, THEY ARE ALWAYS CLOSED!!!! No matter when I go there, what day I go there, what time I go there. It is no use having great donuts if you're not there to sell them. Sorry guys I'm out. read more

Cashier ignore me would just stare at me didn't want to take my order. Will definitely not shop here any more

Whoa, best breakfast bagel sandwiches in Castroville. Freshly made and tasty. They also have a great breakfast burrito! Its doughts plus!

Been living in the area 40 years. This place has been a community staple for a long time. The owner is kind of a legend. One time when i was young he came out of the back and gave a friend of mine and me some fresh fried chicken. It was delicious! Little touches like that customers will never forget for years in a town like this. I rarely go here anymore. It seems like they never have anything I want when i come around 10am. The maple bars are gone and it's pretty akward going into a small shop with nothing there I want. I would love to come back more often but now I only go when I am at the tire shop! read more

Love their donuts, good customer service. Breakfast burritos are delicious. We love supporting a local business.

I was soooo bummed that other reviews were spot on and the hours listed for this donut shop are incorrect. I detoured out this way on a Friday around 3:00pm in search of donuts after a successful whale watching trip at Moss Landing. To my disappointment, they were closed. Nary an employee to be seen. But several Missing Hole Donut Shop vans in the parking lot. Sooooo... they make deliveries? Would've loved to come here. Might try again next time I'm in the area. read more

Im a regular here I come almost morning there bagels with cream cheese are AMAZING so simple but just perfect! Everyone is so nice and kind even the owner is extremely kind ! 10/10 i work in Santacruz , salinas and Watsonville this is the only bagels I like I've tried many many bagels and this one hits different! I get the sesame bagel with cream cheese read more

The Missing hole donuts are really good but over priced in my opinion. My favorite donut is the apple fritters and they run approximately $3.25. Could be higher now. The Service staff is welcoming. I enjoyed the fact that its previous owners were people we knew and the new owners seem to want to continue that tradition by getting to know their regulars. I rarely go there because of price. I'm selective on what my my funds spent. I'm retired and on a fixed budget, it takes nostalgia to pull me in to the shop for an apple fritter. read more

"Good" donuts and food, bagels are below average in all standards, cream cheese is always light layer and melts because of it. They need to make thicker bagels. Cake donuts are very good, good variety, glazed and chocolate is my favorite chocolate glaze out of all the local donut shops. Price per dozen in good. Coffee is good, always clutch. Workers have the least character/ no emotion, not rude but not sprite. Been going for 30 years, so I know it well. If they made everything like Marina's on res., I'd be there every single day. read more

Whenever I head out from Salinas to the coast, I would stop in Casttoville to grab a few donuts at my favorite donut shop. Always fresh and delicious. Add a cup of hot coffee and you have a perfect breakfast.. They carry a great variety of donuts too. Highly recommend. read more

Truly a hole in the wall find of absolutely delicious pastries. The owner makes you feel welcome and is extremely proud of his donut pastries - as he should be. The Almond paste Marzipan pastries is is exceptional. You do not find it very often. No trans fat, but like any great pastries, moderation is hard to do. Please try this place and say howdy. read more

Missing a hole is the morning happening place for fresh donuts- Bagels - coffee on the way to work - Staff are friendly- always greet you with a smile - and are quick if you need to be out and on the road - read more

The doughnuts were ok, tasted a little burnt and I thought going in early would have a better selection but not a lot to choose from. The ladies working there I think were in a hurry because when I asked if they had a certain doughnut she said yes and gave me something different. Felt like I was bothering her in taking a moment to decide on what to get. Would probably drive the extra 15 minutes to Monterey to get doughnuts next time. read more

I have fallen in love with this place. Everything is always fresh. The bagels, yes not just donuts, the bagels are very delish too. I love how they're light and airy and not all heavy like most bagels. Don't miss this place if you're passing through Castroville. Quick easy on n off the freeway too. read more

Best service and donuts. My kids make me stop every day on our way to school. Great prices.

Donuts are donuts and Dam's are always fresh tasty but his apple fritters is the best I've ever tasted.

I love stopping by here every now and then and getting donuts for the family. They also have really good bagel sandwiches you can customize. read more

Our group stopped by for lunch at Deliciosos Tacos. When we stepped out, we got a huge whiff of pastry goodness. Found out they close early on Saturday, but Dan Dan The Donut Man opened his doors and didn't turn us away. He gave us a box of donuts, some spinach muffins, and bags of bagels out of kindness. Donuts are delicious and not too sweet. Really hit spot since he has the only donut shop in a 5 mile radius. Have to come back when I'm around this area! read more

Much like a previous review, you need to update your hours online. You close at 1? Let people know. Was so excited to come after reading reviews but now don't even want to try coming back. Inconsistent hours without notice. Not a fan. read more

I hopped after getting some tacos next door - very reasonable prices and the owner (dan dan) was really friendly. I ordered a glazed old fashioned and he had some warm/fresh ones out back - he brought one out and it was delicious. I got a maple to go, it was good as well but I preferred the old fashioned. I'll definitely stop in for some energy whenever I'm biking through. :) read more

They used to deliver to our family business. Always had a good experience and customers really enjoyed their products. Now I stop in from time to time passing through castroville. This morning I was met with friendly staff. They had no more cream filled chocolate bars but the lady (maybe owner?) offered to add cream to one of the bars. Amazing!! I saw they have gotten creative with adding fun toppings. Not really my thing but I'm sure the kiddos love that stuff! Price was very good as well. This is just the type of locally owned business I like to support. read more

I won't give it a bad review, but I definitely wasn't impressed. The limited donuts were okay, but not much to choose from. I may go back at some point to try the fried chicken though... it looked good. read more

I've heard many great things about Missing Hole Donut Shop and had to check it out for myself. What I like about the shop is the hours of operation it has, which is a huge advantage when compared to other donut shops in the area and county. My first visit was a great experience, because I was greeted professionally and kindly by the staff. The best part about entering any donut shop is the smell of fresh baked donuts, and that's what I experienced when walking into Missing Hole Donut Shop. I will definitely be back to this shop because of the great service, amazing and tasty donuts, and hours of operation. I highly recommend checking out this donut shop! read more

The donut shop is very cheap great service and the employees were very friendly and nice I go again soon

I know I know that's what I get for going to a donut shop for fried chicken. Not sure why I expected good chicken from a bakery.. seemed like chicken was bought from another store ( Luckys or Foods Co) and refried which would explain the dryness and over done firmness of it. Thumbs down!! The one and only worker there needs a personality and customer service class. read more

Hello I don't review much but I've came here a few times and have not been satisfied with the bagels and donuts.... The bagels come in a plastic bag ( not fresh ) and donuts don't taste all that great.... If you want fresh warm donuts or even a home made freshly made bagel come to Prunedale Donuts read more

Horrible service, I was waiting in line and they skipped me because they wanted to serve their friend first. The cashier left from behind the counter to talk to her friend and take her order. Their maple donuts don't even look like maple. Their maple donuts are super pale. read more
