Everything I've tried here has been amazing! Absolutely love their bagels, with the 831 brunchwich is SO GOOD! I also really like the boba, my favorite is the passion orange freeze with jelly!! Service is always quick, and it's a cute vibe inside. read more

Monterey Donuts - 831 Brunchwich - Donuts Near Me - Monterey, California

Their strawberry slush with popping boba is refreshing and fun to drink. The fruity flavor is vibrant without being overly sweet. The seating area is a bit small, so it's best for takeout. read more

The matcha latte with boba here is perfection! Smooth, earthy, and just the right amount of sweetness. The drinks are beautifully presented, and the quality is consistent every time. Such a gem in the area! read more

This review is for things since the new ownership. My previous rating for the earlier owners would have been 5 stars. Meh. No extra donut holes for me on a $20+ order. Specifically said NO COCONUT on the order and the first thing I see when I open the box is a fat coconut-topped donut - the ONE donut I didn't want. Prepared as if no one was paying attention or GAF. Ingredients are cheap. The specialty coffees are made with water and taste like it. No napkins. It'd be really sad if new owners' neglect & cheapness brings down the rep of the original. Will start ordering elsewhere, frankly. read more

Thank you yelp for this gem. Absolutely delicious. Donuts are fantastic. Iced lavender latte and honeydew milk tea are both good. Ham and cheese croissant wasn't hot enough but staff was able to toast them longer. It was very busy for a Monday morning so come with time and patience. Staff was friendly. read more

Cute place with great service. The chai latte I had was great. My youngest enjoyed their coffee and pastry.

Extremely rude customer service and specialty bagels have almost no cream cheese or toppings, these people don't care about their jobs or how to run a business read more

Walked in a little before 8AM and fortunately there was no line! Several people came in while I was ordering, but service is quick, very friendly and patient as I made my selection from the donuts. I ordered a regular dozen and she included a few complimentary donut holes which was a sweet treat. I brought it to work and they loved it. Very fresh donuts with a good amount of selection! read more

Monterey Donuts - Regular dozen - Donuts Near Me - Monterey, California

Located in a strip mall off of the main street is this tiny donut shop you might overlook but you don't want to. Fast and moderately priced you'll find it easy to fall in love with their donuts. I'd buying in quantity, they have an option for regular or fancy donuts. Regular are the 2 top shelves and fancy are the bigger and what would be the exotic variety lol. They also have the novelty over sized donuts if you're into that kinda stuff. We bought half a dozen for the work crew and they were all surprised and impressed. One or 2 people even double checked the box to see if there were more for a second. I'll add that the staff is very friendly and I saw a poster inside mentioning they survived covid which warms me up knowing small businesses that deserve to be here didn't go under. That's why I yelp.. Anyway if you're in the area give this place a try, I promise you won't be let down read more

I went here on a cheat day hoping to enjoy some decadent donuts and a warm bagel but instead I got the opposite. These donuts were the worst donuts I've had, they were stale, dry, lacked flavor and clearly weren't made with love like donuts should be. Safeway clearance donuts that I got food poisoning from are on the same level as these. Not only were the donuts terrible but they didn't even have cream cheese for the bagels. What establishment has bagels and no cream cheese, that's like going to a hotdog stand that only has buns. The seed bagels also barely had any seeds on them. If you're looking to enjoy your food go to the bagel and donut shop in marina next to mountain mikes. This place clearly doesn't know how to please customers. Pathetic. read more

Used to be good, but has gone downhill since the new owners took over. The donuts aren't as good, and the selection is not as good.

We lived here for a year and decided to try this place. Why call it Monterey Doughnut's? There is a poor selection of doughnuts. Mostly all other stuff. We decided to try it 2 days ago. The only doughnuts that have filling are the bars. They fill them while you wait. You have 2 choices, cream and berry. No powder doughnuts just pure sugar on them. Their doughnuts are tasteless and easy to forget. We ordered 4 doughnuts. They had a weird taste and didn't enjoy them at all. We ended up getting deathly sick in the middle of the night and it lasted a full day and a half. My Daughter told me that when she came to see us with her boyfriend, they stopped there on the way home. They said the doughnuts tasted so bad that they threw them away. I will never go there again or recommend this place to anyone. They obviously never heard of flavor or variety. read more

4-4.5 stars but rounding up for one of the better donut shops I've been to in a while! Monterey Donuts is located in the strip mall right next to the Safeway plaza, and they have a separate parking lot. I stopped by a few months ago, and they weren't busy yet around 10am on a Tuesday. They still had a full selection of donuts available, and I really liked the variety they had. I ended up ordering a half dozen donuts + a Maple Bacon ($11.50 total) to share with friends. I tried: -Original Glazed (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=G8aP79F_ukMDzgfKue2KRg&userid=76vIFZcC7owykCBjMfGVXg): Delicious version of original glazed, and the donut was soft and fluffy but still had a little chew. The amount of glaze was perfect- recommended! -Maple Bacon (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=K16NU6EpW28dl5DQtEPZwA&userid=76vIFZcC7owykCBjMfGVXg): Great version of maple bacon! The bacon was still crispy, and the saltiness went well with the sweetness of the maple frosting- recommended! Their staff was really friendly and helpful, and I would come back for more donuts if in the area. All staff that I saw were wearing masks properly. Parking in this plaza was easy to find since they had plenty of spots. read more

Inside is clean and looks very trendy. The doughnuts taste good but nothing out of ordinary. They have more fun variety of flavors here but be prepared to pay $3-4 per doughnuts on special ones. At Red's doughnuts for same ones you only pay around $2. Honestly I will just stick to Red's doughnuts down the street. read more

Great service yalll and I do recommend it for anyone in Monterey Bay Area and also have more items and the ladies are super friendly and helpful read more

Donuts are not as good as they use to be! Very Overrated and OVERPRICED!!! I Use to Love This Place But Not Anymore

We try the donuts every where we go. On our way to our hotel before checking in, we got ourselves these yummy soft donuts! Definitely bringing home a dozen for the kids on our way home. Everyone was pleasant; place was clean ! So we came back the following day bought a box for my kids... and the guy who assisted us was just super nice. He even gave me an extra donut. Place is popular that they don't have the sprinkled chocolate donuts by the time we arrived. read more

The blueberry tastes were so obvious and the maple was fabulous...We topped it off with fresh coffee. Kay was the best, making suggestions and providing great service!! read more

I have no idea what the food or coffee is like because my dad and I were not served. We stopped in to grab some donuts to celebrate my brother's graduation and stood there while their only person worked on things around the back. I think they need either more people on the schedule or more attentive people on the schedule. We couldn't wait another 10 minutes so we left. Donuts are usually a quick stop and having to wait while there is not a line kind of defeats the purpose. Hire more people. As someone who works in the service industry, I would never take on three separate background tasks with a line, but again, hire more people. she knew we were there just didn't feel like selling us some donuts i guess. read more

Food was buns, the sausage patty in the sandwich was still frozen and the cheese wasn't even melted. Girl at the front had hella attitude. Unfortunate, if she wouldn't have been so rude I wouldn't have even been mad about the sandwich. read more

I could leave a really long, detailed review talking at length about the number of sprinkles or fast service but I'm not going to waste your time. These donuts are really, really good. Go get one. read more

This review is for the donut holes and the cinnamon sugar raised donut which were just okay. Also tried the strawberry matcha milk tea which was waaayyy too sweet. Just. So. Sweet. There must be a cup of sugar in this drink to make the matcha that sweet. I have a sweet tooth and this was way too sweet for me :( read more

Best donuts omg tried many locally and this is the best ! so fresh and fluffy on the inside like they just made it on the spot ! i tried this place years ago and did not like idk if it changed, but tried again and game changer this will be my go to spot from now on!! read more

Still trying to find a good apple fritter so we gave this place a try since we were in the area. It's a small shop, warm inside. I found their apple fritters to be deep fried until super crispy and hard. It was really crunchy to eat. Hardly any soft doughy parts I'd have to rate this at a 4 out of 10. Service was friendly. I did like that they had interesting varieties on their donuts like yam/taro, red velvet and green tea which they were out of but I'll come back to try those. read more

Came here to try the milk tea drinks. It was just not good. There is literally zero milk tea shops in this area it's so sad. The menu looked a tiny promising and was hoping to like it. It was extremely generically sweet. One of the drinks we got Tasted like powder. Will not recommend nor will come back to this establishment. read more

Great selection very tasty the problem is the guy stacked the filled custard donate on top of each donut so they got squished put the chocolate twist sideways under cinnamon roll next to donut holes in a small box what a mess don't think I'll be going back read more

Great fresh warm donuts, friendly service. Always a go to place when visiting the area.

The donuts were out of this world delicious! Very fresh! The employees were so friendly and they gave hot fresh donut holes to each person in the shop. This went above and beyond and added to the great service and clean environment of the shop. I would recommend this shop without hesitation. Thank you for an amazing experience read more

Honestly every donut I picked was 5 out of 5 stars except the Chocolate Buttermilk Bar which is pictured in the bottom middle. It was super dry and needed to be dunked in milk to be saved. 3 bonus donut holes added for free too! read more

Definitely a hole in the wall. It was a bit difficult to find even with navigation. It's located right beside Subway and a Mexican restaurant. We had a chocolate donut, donut holes, and the taro donut. Just as with any hole in the wall, the donuts really good. What I liked the best the taro. You can definitely taste the taro and it wasn't sweet at all. The chocolate donut was still fresh (11AM) but the donut holes were a little too sweet for me. Overall a good find. read more

Came here because back on December 2023, we really enjoyed the donuts. Came back today and it looks like a different place now.p we ordered 2 breakfast burritos, a donut, and a milk tea. We never got the milk tea and waited about 10 minutes for the burrito. Wasted money. The burrito was good though and that's why I gave the 3 stars. Also, the service was good too. Lots of people after we got there. read more

This place gets busy on the weekends, lucky for me I live within walking distance. Can't go wrong with a glazed doughnut and it always hits. They also give some 1-2 extra donut holes every-time you order. read more

Usually I never write reviews but this place is so amazing, I had too! I got a caramel iced coffee and it's truly one of the best coffee I've had. I also got a breakfast burrito and was amazing! A bit pricy but definitely worth it if you want to treat yourself! I'll be back read more

I saw the good reviews so I had to try it out! Stopped by and found it after a few miles and some u-turns. I came in at 11AM, way after the early AM rush. There was a good selection still. I got the glazed cruller ($1.30 with tax) due to a Yelp recommendation. It was soft, airey, light and fluffy inside. A good doughnut. I only got one because we were headed out of Monterey to visit Santa Cruz for lunch. The other doughnuts looked good. The guy who helped me/rang me up was nice enough while I debated my choice and asked him ?s. I would recommend this place if you need some of these sugar-laced treats. They also throw in doughnut holes gratis with purchase. Nice touch. This place is known for and makes some giant sized ones too. Check them out when in the area. Totally worth a stop! read more
