No lemon filling

I've given this shop two chances, about four months apart, and both times the donuts tasted like they were fried in old, greasy oil. Unfortunately, the quality was just as disappointing on my second visit as it was on the first. I ordered a lemon-filled twist and paid extra for it, but it was a complete disappointment. The lemon filling didn't taste good, there was barely any filling inside, and the twist had that same unpleasant, old-oil taste. For something that costs extra, I expected much better quality. I also tried the jalapeño ham and cheese croissant, which was equally disappointing. Instead of a light, flaky croissant, it was mostly bread with very little of the texture you would expect from a proper croissant. Although the shop has a nice, clean atmosphere, the food itself falls far short of expectations. The donuts taste greasy, the filling is disappointing, and the croissant lacks the flaky texture that makes it worth buying. After two visits with the same disappointing results, I can confidently say this place is not worth the money. I would not recommend this shop, and I won't be returning.

Finally made it out to Rolling Pin's Ventura location and they had a good selection of donuts ready (see my pic). I was craving the cake donut holes -although it's unfortunate that this location doesn't make them :( (so sad!). Settled on a cinnamon roll -which was great, heated up when I got home. Also ordered a dozen of regular donut holes -taste as expected. Service was good -we chatted about how it was the owner's decision to NOT sell the cake donut holes at this location, as supposedly they weren't selling well. Large, free parking lot, located with other retail establishments. Large interior with inside seating.

I have come to Rolling Pin many times. Anytime we are near by my little one recognizes it and wants to stop by. When I walk in, it's always nice that someone always greets us. Super nice employees all the time. Anytime I have gone, they always have a good selection of donuts. We always find some that we like. They have a drink menu. They offer a variety of different coffees, lattes, and other drinks. I have not had their drinks. They do sound good. They do take card but cash is preferred. There is a small fee to use card. They have outdoor and indoor seating just in case you want to enjoy your donut and drink. Also great lighting if you want to bring a book to read. Overall, love coming here and find it adorable that my little one knows this place and gets excited to grab some donuts.

This spot is a total "D'oh-not" miss! Beyond the fantastic treats, I loved the nods to The Simpsons--from the themed boxes to the iconic Homer donut. The shop itself is very clean, inviting, and surprisingly spacious with plenty of seating to sit back and enjoy your haul. The large selection of donuts and all beautifully displayed. While the donuts look incredible, I opted for the baked cinnamon roll, and it was very good . Top-tier service and stress-free parking make this an easy 5-star stop. Highly recommended! Buen provecho. D'oh.

COFFEE TO GO

The staff was super helpful going through each donut and answering questions regarding possible cross contamination with peanuts due to my little ones allergy. They could not guarantee anything but let us know the peanuts are kept in a separate container, glaze chocolate round donuts are made at a different time than those with peanuts, all donuts are transferred using gloves, etc. My kids peanut allergy has subsided to only if he ingests actual peanuts so we went with a chocolate with sprinkles which he ate without issue. He said it was really good and given the size of it he was full before he finished the donut. The Mrs Yelper got a mini apple fritter, which she ate some of and brought home given that she ate some of my blueberry round. I'd say their apple fritters are the best thing in the menu. The dining area had ample room and this is a great place for families to come for a donut, with donuts such as the Homer Simpson, and m&m donuts. They have little character statues for photo op, and have merchandise for those donut lovers like myself. That's this critic's review, until next time I'll be eating.

What a delicious assortment of donuts!! The restaurant is clean and the atmosphere is fun. My friend and I enjoyed a table outside. We were so impressed with the light fluffy dough and tasty toppings! We are excited to hear they may be coming to TO soon!! There was a steady stream of customers the entire time we sat here. Thanks!!

Cinnamon roll
Sara B.

I was in the area and had some time before an appointment to stop by for a sweet treat. I got the cinnamon roll. It's big, soft and fresh. The clerk asked me if I wanted it warmed up so naturally I said yes. It was delicious and although it looked like a lot of frosting it was just the right ratio.

I stg this place may have me becoming a donut person again. Incredible and fresh donuts, clean interior, and seriously some of the nicest people (shout out to Ronny for being so informative and kind!). Apparently this is a second location and they are basically cranking out fresh donuts for most of the day. Highly recommend getting a cafe de olla with you donut as it really rounds out the flavor

Luis S.

Who in their right mind would give this place a 1 star rating? Such an amazing donut shop to stop at during my lunch or even on the way home! Service is amazing and fast. I've never waited more than five minutes to get my donut. Place is bigger than most donut shops and the atmosphere is pleasant and relaxing. Not relaxing like steam is being shot out of a hose kind of relaxing, but like, there's not a lot of noise inside of donut shop kind of relaxing I definitely love their chocolate chip donut or anything with sprinkles! Honestly, all of it is yummy Their hot chocolate is THE BEST!!!! Especially with some creamer on it. All of their stuff is great. There has not been one disappointing product, and I don't think there ever will be. Huge shoutout to Taylor, Luis, Joyce, Naomi, and all of the morning staff I've come across. You're all the nicest staff I've met in the plaza.

I picked up some donuts to go, it was empty when I went in the afternoon. The donuts were fresh and soft. I love a chocolate chip roll with lots of chocolate chips on the inside & it's a good size too. The cake donuts are fluffy and sweet with the frosting on top. Apple fritter has chunks of cinnamon apples in there with a glaze on top. Parking- big parking lot shared with other businesses

This location is a "Bucket List" must for any hard core rolling pin fan! Food quality is Excellent! Service is amazing and everyone is kind and patient. Ambience was clean and very inviting! Many more selections beyond the Camarillo location! Try the Croissants, especially the and Ham/Cheese! Jakob is the cool Viking looking bearded guy, he's always making people smile and greets everyone as if they were family. Great crew there!!! Military / 1stResponder Discounts too!!

Apple Fritter
Nate E.

Apple fritter here is always good. Big size to share with someone else but brings the flavor no matter how you take it apart! Always ready and available at the counter, especially at this location. Ambiance is always fun whether you hang inside to eat, see the menu or are in and out here since service is quick, efficient and always helpful. Took my Apple fritter on the go and the flavor and texture was there, no problem with its presentation outside the bag. With the variety in their menu, will come back!

It's donuts. Average. I often get them in the afternoon for the boat the next day. Choices are usually minimal. Fresh they're pretty good

Mostly hype. Donuts are pretty but not fresh tasting. $12 in donuts and wouldn't give me a complimentary cup of water.

I always love supporting small businesses, and K D Donuts definitely deserves the love!…read more I first heard about this place through my coworkers. One person brought in donuts from Rolling Pin Donuts, while another brought donuts from K D Donuts. To my surprise, almost everyone reached for the K D Donuts first! Before work, I decided to pick up two dozen donuts for my team. Within 30 minutes, they were nearly all gone. That alone says a lot! These donuts honestly have a slight edge over Rolling Pin Donuts, which has always been one of my favorite donut shops. Even one of my coworkers, who normally doesn't eat donuts, ended up eating two! She pointed out that they didn't have that greasy taste or overly sweet aftertaste--and I completely agree. The donuts were fresh, light, flavorful, and clearly a hit with the entire team. K D Donuts is officially one of my new favorite spots, and I'll definitely be coming back. Highly recommended if you're in Ventura and looking for delicious donuts while supporting a great local business!

Donuts matter to me. I mean, like, a lot. Maybe too much. They're pretty much on my mind all the…read moretime. I don't really care about Politics. I care even less about Sports. What I care about is Donuts. And I'm here to tell you, these are the Best Donuts in Ventura. I've been a customer here for 24 years now. In that time I've sampled donuts from more than a dozen other places around town and I've never found any better than the donuts from KD Donuts. The donuts here are far superior to Rolling Pin. I'll die on that hill. And don't come at me with Krispy Kreme or any other corporate junk, because hell nah. This is a local, family owned and run business.. You can read all about it in my previous review. It's an interesting backstory. As to why I say these are the Best Donuts in Ventura: The benchmark I use for comparing donuts is a white cake donut with chocolate icing, topped with sprinkles. Whenever I hit up a new donut shop, that's the first thing I try. The one they sell here reigns Supreme! Other highly recommended donuts here are the Apple Fritters, the Buttermilk Bars and the Old Fashioned (Chocolate, Glazed or Plain). I like that the donuts here are traditional donuts. The kind you can take a dozen of to work with you and you can be sure everyone will love. None of that $5/donut ridiculousness over here. Most here are $1.75, including Small Apple Fritters and Small Cinnamon Rolls. The large size of the fritters and cinnamon rolls, along with the Blueberry Fritter, Bear Claws and Filled Donuts will set you back $2.75 each. That's fair! So, if you are looking for some really great donuts and love to support a great little local owned business, I highly recommend you hit up KD Donuts! Mikey C says: Best Donuts in Ventura!
