Chocolate raised glaze and old fashioned doughnuts are very good. Cooked just right. The raised glazed is soft and moist. Just the right amount of frosting so it doesn't overwhelm the doughnut. They even tossed in a couple of doughnuts holes, nice touch. read more

Pretty good spot! I was craving something sweet and thankfully this place was really close, and I'm glad I went. Came here right in time before closing time, but here's where I made a mistake! The selection of donuts was very limited and there won't a lot left by that time. I got a vanilla cake donut and a maple bacon bar. The cake donut was absolutely delicious, I loved it! I wish I got more, the sweetness and texture were perfect! The bar was pretty average, nothing too special about it. The staff was friendly here! One thing to note is that there is a $5 minimum for using a credit/debit card. I'd definitely come here again for the cake donuts! Cheers! read more

This place is awesome! We went right before closing and they still had a huge assortment of everything!! The maple bacon was perfectly crispy and sweet, the vanilla cake donut was moist and wasn't dry at all, and the cream filled chocolate was actually FILLED with cream... & the dough was amazing! Super soft, super chewy, and very addicting to eat. The donuts were big but didn't feel heavy thankfully! Regardless, very satiating. Definitely would recommend this place if you're a donut lover! read more

Great Customer Service great donuts a treat enjoy everything and take it in. The donuts are soft fresh and taste like heaven.

Monterey Donuts has become the #1 donut shop in all of Monterey County! Their donuts and pastries are always fresh and delicious. If you have never had a blueberry fritter, you have to try theirs. Their breakfast sandwiches are amazing too!!! read more

if you like your coffee lukewarm, your apple fritters burnt, and the most anemic coffee creamer station ever, then get your coffee and donuts here. this used to be my go to staple, now sadly, I only come in if I absolutely need to . Just stopped in for my visit today. Waited about eight minutes which is unusually long for a coffee shop. if I wanted to wait this long, I would've went to Starbucks ....just to pay for coffee? $5.50c is the minimum for Apple Pay or card so they forced me to buy the burnt apple fritter. read more

So a half dozen of twist donuts costs $14.00. They are good. But not like unique or amazing at all. The strawberry cream cheese croissant just wasn't good-burnt bottom, dried out filling & crust. Not inclined to return. read more

Delicious fresh donuts. Like friend of mine says, there is no such thing as diet donut. It should be big, lots of sugar and if raised, soft and chewy on 1st bite. I got to try chocolate covered crueler, twist, buttered and also donut holes. I lived every one of them. Too full to try other ones but definitely worth return visit. Coffee is excellent too! read more

The staff was extremely friendly and patient with us as we figured out what to order. The donuts were solid and they even surprised is with free donut holes! The milk tea was great and would strongly recommend trying it! read more

Customer service was amazing, they were so nice and the donuts were fresh coming in at 6AM. They even gave us a glazed donut right off a new batch as we were about to leave, and I melted with that donut. It was better than Krispy Kreme, and as a Krispy Kreme fanatic I do not that lightly- the dough was light and fluffy and it had that homemade magic that you only taste in small mom and pop shops. Absolutely would come here again read more

I have been getting donuts from this place since school started up in August. Every time the price is different. Always higher than the time before. Today I ordered 10 reg. Donuts, 1 maple bar and 10 donut holes. The guy before me ordered 2 dozen donut holes they charged him $2.50 . I ordered 10 donuts holes they charged me $2.50. My total was $25.55 . Their prices are higher than donuts in San Jose. I'm a retired senior . At this price I will never go back there. They charge you what they want depending on who you are. The donuts are good but not that great. read more

This is a must try place for donuts if you are in Monterrey area. After coming from land of donuts where we have voodoo, blue star etc this one just took us by surprise totally. Easily one of the best we had in a while. Melt in the mouth, super fluffy dough's. They are truly outstanding. Highly recommend and a must visit read more

I fell in love with their glazed donuts and I'm sad because I live on the east coast! Their glazed donut puts Krispy Kreme glazed to shame! Large, airy and not dense or too light it was an absolute joy to indulge. The old fashion plain donut was another hit! My kid loved it and it was perfection for me. I wish I'd gone back once more and gotten more glazed donuts. Friendly service and cute interior with seating. The mega donuts were intimidating even looking at them. If I'm ever back out here I'll come back and proudly inhale their donuts. read more

Best donuts in town. Go out of your way to find this place. I personally think they are head and shoulders better than Red's Donuts. The dough recipe used at Monterey donuts produces a much more satisfying texture. It's great! Go try it out!! read more

Decent donuts. I was in town for work and the locals recommended this place. It's a tiny store but all the donuts looked fresh in the case. The plain glazed was my favorite, classic and what you want in a yeast donut. If you're in the area, this is a quick, cheap, and classic donut shop. And, they gave us 2 free donut holes with our order - can't complain about that! read more

I think they changed owners :( Pros: - Donuts were the best I had a year ago. Cons: - In April 2020, they were the most mediocre donuts I've had. Heard they may have had a change in ownership. If so, the new owners need to get some help from the old owners ASAP. read more

I live in Marina & now I come here for my donut cravings! I used to go to Marina Donuts & Bagels, but since they changed owners.......the quality has gone down & the prices have gone UP. So sad. So thank you Monterey Donuts!! read more

This is undoubtedly the best doughnut place O have been to. Their doughnuts must be made differently because they have such an airy light delicious taste to them, however I was even more impressed by the delicious apple fritter that I ordered, absolutely unforgettable! The customer service is really fantastic too, with every doughnut purchase they give you a free little doughnut hole, and are super friendly they treat erryone like they're a regular there. If you haven't been I'd highly recommend it! read more

This place was cool before the pandemic but I would not go there now. One of the donut ha was refusing to wear a mask. Then the a security guard popped his head to ask about something also with no mask on! It is too bad people like that are living here. Update: They have upped there pandemic game since this review, make sure you observe the physical distancing when in line, just like everywhere else. read more

Wildly expensive, bad service. I was shocked at the price for a few regular donuts, about 10$. They were average. Will not go back.

Been looking for a good donut place and we think we have found it in Monterey Donuts. Just bought a couple donuts to try--sugar twist and French crueler --the latter is outstanding and the twist was good too. And thanks for the donut holes! Light and airy donuts. All so good! read more

Great breakfast sandwiches and old-fashioned doughnuts which are huge. Outstanding service.

Really great donuts. The size is incredible. Excellent service too. Definitely get donuts from here. read more

Our family tradition is that Sunday is donut day. And our family has traveled through 32 states over the years...bottom line, that's a lot of donut shops. These donuts, and my kids all concur, are top shelf. Light but excellent chew...very well balanced. I especially enjoyed the raspberry filled. For those interested in a challenge, they have a giant donut you can eat and get on the 'Mega Donut' Wall of Fame!. Plenty of inside seating. read more

I can't comment on the shop itself, because a friend brought me some donuts from this place, but having tasted them, I will definitely be heading there myself. We shared a GIANT box-filling maple donut. And by shared, I mean she took a few nibbles and I was a lot less delicate about the whole thing. Fresh-tasting, not greasy, with a standard-issue maple topping, to say nothing of its obscene size. She also brought a small bag of yeast donut holes, which were heavenly little bites of sweet fried air. Seriously, they were so light, I half expected them to float away. Melt in your mouth, yum! Just like tortilla chips at a Mexican restaurant, I could be stuffed full and yet still munch on them. read more

Just got their mega glazed donut with sprinkles. I have 2 young kids so we have tried a lot of huge donuts at several different places, but none have been very good. This one had a very good flavor and texture. Husband, kids and I thoroughly enjoyed it... definitely will get again after trying what else they offer. read more

So I'm not quite sure how you manage to make a simple donuts-for-money transaction simultaneously uncomfortable and maddening, but the folks at Monterey Donuts have nailed it. I've been here twice in the last two months at different times of day. Each time, the service was bad enough that I honestly couldn't tell if the poor service actually made the donuts taste bad, or if they're just bad donuts. (Having since tried Red's Donuts -- thank you, Yelpers! -- I can say Monterey Donuts just has bad donuts.) People make a big deal about the free donut holes, but ... an extra dollop of crap on a crap sandwich doesn't make the situation better: you're still eating crap. (Or in this case, oily, tasteless donuts.) Go to Red's Donuts instead. Consistently friendly service, and the donuts are OF THE GODS, ALL THE TIME. read more

Not a lot of donut options in the Monterey area. This is def our number one at this point. The lower rating is for a few reasons. Super pricey Raw apple fritter I could hear someone in the back coughing Still, will be back. read more

The customer service friendliness and donut quality is amazing here. A wide variety of donuts to choose from. The self serve coffee is a plus.

Great place for fresh donuts. We get them about every other week and have never been disappointed. Raised donuts are light and fluffy and cake donuts have always been moist. Great selection of classic flavors with none of them overly sweet. The only ding is that under new ownership there seems to be more of a push for sandwiches and boba (which slows things down a lot) and many of the specialty donuts are gone. I used to love their Green Tea and Ube donuts. The Red Velvet was pretty good. These were all amazing cake donuts. They do have a small selection of topped donuts each day. I have seen Maple bacon, cereal and Oreo topped ones, but never tried them. Way better than chain brands like Dunkin' (which sadly many locations no longer make their own donuts but have them delivered) and Krispy Kreme which as a mature adult I now find way too sweet with everything glazed before more toppings are added (KK glaze is just too thick and sweet for me now). read more

Unfortunately Monterey Donuts has a new owner. Not the same yet still better then Red's
