    This was our second visit here and the cookie dough is delicious. We ordered the Oreo and Birthday Cake flavors. The Birthday Cake was our favorite - it was rich and flavorful. The Oreo was good, but surprisingly didn't taste very much like Oreo.

    Such a fun idea and very yummy. You can definitely overdo it if you're not careful, and that's coming from a sweet tooth!! Would go!! We stepped outside and ate at the bench while watching otters. So cute!

    The location is absolutely gorgeous, but I can't recommend this place. The cookie dough was gummy and very sweet, and the staff was cold and didn't greet or thank me which I know isnt a big deal, but it just felt weird. I would probably try it again, but my expectations are low.

    What an adorable little shop! We walked in because something smelled really good - it was a little cookie dough shop! They have edible cookie dough and ice cream. A variety of flavors, they also have cooked cookies too. Right by the water, it was a cute little place. I got birthday cake cookie dough and rainbow sherbet, soooooo good! Everyone should go check out this place!

    I had a great time at Dough Creations. The ice cream was tasty - we tried vanilla, strawberry, and cookies and cream. It's a perfect choice for a hot day!

    5 stars for this lovely little dessert shop serving cookie dough and Icecream. The lady behind the counter was super nice and even packed the cookie dough nicely for my 4 hour drive. I got the Rocky Road cookie dough with the Janice Almond Icecream (in a cone) and it was the best combination ever. Birthday Cake and Classic Chocolate chip for home. The dough traveled well.

    Almost walked right past this place because we usually stop at Crills to grab a cinnamon roll, but they were closed. I just happened to look up and see the sign for the dough connection, and we all decided to give it a try. The first thing you should know is that they are located in the far back corner of a main hall that you can easily miss. So now that you have found them, you now can enjoy great ice cream, cookies, other desserts, ready to eat cookie dough, and more. My kids all got a scoop of ice cream which they all said was some of the best they have had and my wife got a scoop of cookie dough and ice cream together which she said was a really nice combination. I'm pleased to have found the dough connection and hope they are here to stay.

    Cookie dough you can eat!! There are no eggs in the cookie dough. The staff was so helpful and friendly. They explained to us what the dough was and how they serve it. They let us sample flavors. They sell cookie dough cups, you can mix it with ice cream and they also sell cookie dough paired up with baked brownies. Such a unique dessert and soo good. I ended up getting the brownie cherry dough with a scoop of strawberry ice cream. We got 2 cups and it came out to $10 which I felt was very reasonable. Definitely will have to come back next visit.

    Original Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough and Cake Batter Cookie Dough with Brownie crumbled on top. Yummy!!

    On our first visit to Morrow Bay the Dough Connection caught our eye from the street as we parked. My boyfriend and I are both avid cookie dough lovers and instantly knew we had to try it. We were greeted immediately by the owner April as we walked in. She was so incredibly sweet and welcoming and made the experience even better. She let us sample the cookie dough flavors and explained all about the other goodies they had. To our surprise she said they just opened the prior week (new location) and we are so glad they did! Definitely recommend this awesome sweet spot to anyone who is in the area

    So I did the Elite Perk at the Dough Connection pick up at Liquid Gravity Brewing. It was a Bomb. They had lots of great looking stuff. The dough pie I got was Stupendous. Can't wait for their Moro Bay location to open. See you their

I purchased the pain au levain, in lieu of a baguette, for $12. The price is pretty steep for a loaf, but seems to be the going rate for these smaller boutique bake shops. The bread itself was warm when I purchased it, which was awesome. Enjoyed it with my coffee, but did find it to be a little doughy on the inside. Good flavor, but not something I would come back for. I'd rate it a solid 3.5. I also purchased the chocolate chip cookies. I think I completely went brain dead when I bought these, because I did read they were gluten-free and vegan, but still bought the pack of 6. Man, they looked like chocolate chip cookies, but didn't taste like chocolate to me, at all. For a regular chocolate chip cookie lover, it's a 1 star. For someone looking for a gluten-free and vegan cookie, this could be a winner. Maybe.

I ended up ordering a basic breakfast: eggs, bacon, potatoes, english muffin. Can't go wrong with that, right? I ordered my eggs "broken over-hard" but they came out over-hard. I order this way to have the yolk spread out into the white. The english muffin was grilled, so not hard on the outside, but it was still good. The eggs were rubbery. The potatoes were a bit too spicy, I needed ketchup to eat them. Bacon was OK. Thin napkins, needed more. Plate was chipped. Had to use the restroom before leaving, it is now a gender neutral bathroom and Burt Reynolds is still presented in all his glory!! I must have a totally different sense of humor. Won't be back here, nothing on their menu appeals to me. Sorry.

While some of us were already enjoying our drinks and food, the owner personally came out to thank our group for stopping by. That level of hospitality really stood out.
