I've been going to the San Luis location of SloDoCo for a while and I noticed that they had a…read morelocation here in Atascadero. I travel up here for work on occasion and it was a great place for me to purchase fresh donuts instead of the ones down in SLO specially if I wasn't down there already. Overall, The vibe here is more cozy but it is also in a busier location because of the location of the movie theater. I've driven by here hundreds of times but never realize that it was hiding in plain sight. All of my usual favorites are here. There's always a lot of the fancy looking donuts and my personal favorites are the creampuffs. These are probably one of the best creampuffs I've ever had. They're almost like larger donut holes with cream in there. They're just wonderful. I've always wanted to try some of the drinks that they have here but I've always only purchased the donuts and creampuffs here. The last time I was here, the team was very friendly and helpful and they were able to get me in and out of there in a matter of minutes. There is tons of parking here and it's plaza. if you get lucky, there are spots right outside on the street for easy access.

I needed roughly 5-10 mins to look over all of the options before making my selections. There is a front case with all of the specialty donuts and a whole back wall with the classics donuts. To say I was overwhelmed would be an understatement. As a group of 4 we decided to order several donuts to share. We ordered the blueberry cake, pecan pie raised, mashed potato raised, lavender with sprinkles raised, pumpkin cheesecake, espresso filled, pumpkin brûlée bites, and a jalapeño ham and cheese croissant. The donuts are very beautifully decorated and the time that was spent decorating them shows. The customer service was patient, kind and very helpful. Some of the funky donuts such as the mashed potato raised donut is actually vanilla flavored and thankfully the person helping us was patient enough to tell us all of the flavors. All of the donuts were delicious. No complaints what so ever. As for the prices, they were listed above and everything is a fair price for speciality donuts. Additionally, they offered a very generous 25% discount for military. Inside there were seating options surrounding a fire place, bar style seating, and some options outdoors.

We're locals and are cheering on Surf Rat Donuts as they get established and wish them much…read moresuccess, especially as a locally-owned business in a small tourist town. Here's some information to supplement some of the comments in prior reviews: - The cake-style donuts are made to order, and they are dunked in the glaze you pick out right after they are removed from the deep fryer, so the glaze takes some time to dry if you don't want to get your fingers sticky (which, personally, I don't mind if it means that the warm donut melts in my mouth). - Yes, the donuts aren't cheap...but, these donuts aren't mass produced and this is a tourist town so what else do you expect? Plus, the prices are clearly marked so no one should be surprised. - The taste is great...if someone feels that more vanilla or something else is needed to make their "perfect" donut, then they should probably bake their own at home. - The shop has limited hours, but maintaining a business is hard in Cayucos especially off-season so it's understandable. And, the hours may not be listed correctly on Google or other pages. Bottom line: Nice addition to our wonderful vacation wonderland...we hope Surf Rat Donuts is around for a long time to come.

"I can die happy" - my mom after eating Surf Rat's gluten free donut…read more These are frankly the best donuts we have ever had. Both with and without gluten. The texture of these donuts is the lightest fluff with a substantial and thick volume. It was like biting into cloud. I can't stress how astonishing that is for gluten free baking. My brother has been gluten free for 20 years and he couldn't believe a donut could be that soft. And the coating flavors pack a punch. Maple bacon for myself and sprinkle and glazed for my mom and brother. We are thrilled these guys opened in our little beach town so we can treat ourselves regularly. 11/10.

Maybe it is because we are watching "Yellowstone" on TV, but I was craving the flavor of the Old West, which can still be found in many places around SLO. We returned to Pig Iron Restaurant in Templeton, where we had dined about three years ago when they very first opened up! it was kind of bare and spacious our first time there. It was great to see how they have added to the space and now have room for multiple functions! There's a huge outdoor dining patio with a coffee pick up bar. There's a an indoor dining area where you order your food at a counter. There's also the Club Car Bar with its own separate room. I remembered that Pig Iron sando was good. My husband ordered the Pig Iron. I went for two smoked chicken, Cowboy Tacos, and our friend got a burger. We topped it all off with onion rings. It's the kind of place that you order at a counter in the Merchandise room, then take a buzzer to your table. We commandeered a large booth in the fairly small dining room. It has maybe eight or 10 tables. There is are a couple lounge chairs by the fireplace, which is very cozy on a cool day. By the time our food was ready, the dining room was full. That Pig Iron pulled pork sando is worth the trip! The meat is super tender, and the sauce is piquant and not too spicy. Topped with cole slaw, it is a perfect lunchtime meal. Burger was also nicely done kind of a smashed burger. The tacos were aptly named Cowboy Tacos, as I felt that they were gringo tacos. They were bland, since they didn't have sauce on them and the chicken was in tiny chunks and not shredded. The onion rings were crispy and fun to dunk in the Ranch dressing. We hunkered down cowboy style and enjoyed our meal, talking about about outer space and the moon trip while enjoying our food in the cozy ambience of an evocative historic setting!

Today, we did not check and found out that the chips were stale and they did not include the verde sauce. On top of that, no chicken in the chicken bowls.
