    Half dozen donuts
    Lora B.

    I'm 100% in love with this place now. Staff and food was all ready before their scheduled open time, so definitely makes me believe they're a great team and ready to serve their local community. The guy who helped us was very informative and nice. I did mention it was our first time in so we were checking out the menu a bit, but mostly wanted donuts for breakfast. I'm not even a fan of regular donuts, but these ones are AMAZING. I didn't have the greasy turnoff from them, they were sweeter than I expected (without overdoing it), felt more filling than a regular donuts, and didn't make me feel guilty for eating 2. They offer different foods to go, or dine inside as well so I'll be trying out more of what they have and will continue telling others about this spot.

    Went today for the first time just have two protein donuts. Super yummy and 12 grams of protein. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We will be back and try their meal prep soon.

    These are the best health donuts, with my wife being diabetic the lower in sugar a plus at about 3.5g sugar per donut and 12g protein per donut, come on! It doesn't get any better! The texture of these are similar to a croissant donut. Give them a try, you probably won't go back to a regular donut.

    This has to be some of the best donuts I've ever had. I came here right after a workout. I got one of each and ate two back to back. The donut was super flavorful, fluffy, and delicious. I couldn't even tell it was a protein donut. I will definitely come back! I didn't have to feel as guilty eating two donuts back to back. These donuts are amazing!

    Earlier this year, being 18 months postpartum with my second and last baby, I decided it was time for me to make a big change and focus on me and my health. After several months at the gym, I was feeling discouraged because though the people close to me noticed change, I wasn't seeing it and the scale was not budging. My husband and I the decided to really focus on what we were putting into our bodies and start a meal prep, and chose protein bar to help guide us on this new journey! Now here I am a few months into incorporating The Protein Bar as a main part of our diet (along with counting macros and staying in a calorie deficit), and I am feeling better in my skin than I have in years! I am actually seeing changes in my body and my mental state, and I am happier and more confident than ever! The protein bar has given us so much ease in our evenings with simple healthy meals that we enjoy, as do our kids, and we do not have to give anything up like a sweet night cap with their incredible protein donuts. This is one of the best choices we have made for our health and I look forward to getting to taste all the new goodies they keep coming out with. Thank you The Protein Bar!! Pics and my husband and I almost exactly 1 year apart! PS the donuts are the best!

    The donuts were amazing. Definitely recommend this place. The service is phenomenal. The drink I did like it but it had a small after taste. I usually don't like aftertastes but I didn't mind this one. Overall I will give this a 4.9 out of 5. Go get them protein donuts!

    I stumbled across an article mentioning The Protein Bar and it got me curious. A couple of weeks ago my mother stopped in to purchase some of the protein donuts for the family.She picked the strawberry for our first Protein Bar experience.She mentioned that they also have drinks available, meal prep that is ready to go or you can place an order. The strawberry donut was yummy! No aftertaste and certainly no guilt because it is packed with protein. This week I stopped in to try another donut.I decided on the blueberry with fresh blueberries on top for the whole family.This donut was also really good! Apparently their donuts are popular because I dropped in around 3:30 P.M. in the afternoon and they were low on donuts.I spoke with Jorge and he said that the S'more donut is the best seller.Now I know which donut to try next time. It may be helpful to place an order ahead of time if there is a specific flavor that you want since the donuts are popular.The Protein Bar offers healthy meal prep meals for sale.You can also place an order.They offer a variety of healthy dishes. A few worth mentioning are- The Brisket Protein Mac & Cheese, Pulled Pork With Jasmine Rice Berry,Coconut Curry Chicken Loaded Baked Potato, Brisket Taco and many other protein packed meals.If you visit their website you will see how delicious the food looks. https://www.theproteinbardonuts.com/ The atmosphere is nice and casual.A great place to grab a protein packed donut or meal for a snack,lunch or dinner. Convenient for those with a busy lifestyle looking for a healthy meal or snack before/after a workout. I haven't tried the food yet,but I will be sure to place an order for food next time and hopefully get a S'more donut. Stop in and give this a try!

    Perfect post workout snack! Thank you to the protein bar for a great meal and macros!

    Great post workout snack and macros! Thank you for these great options and having macros posted to all the containers. Yall are great!

    Matcha protein donut

    One of the best places to stop by in the city to get good quality meal preps and the protein donuts are the best when you're craving a treat, I promise you'll leave full and satisfied. The staff is always friendly and helpful it's definitely worth stopping by and trying them out.

    The best protein donuts on the market! I'm gluten sensitive and I eat these with no regret my system feels fine but I 10/10 recommend I've been buying from them for 9 months already and the owners and staff are really welcoming and open to talk.

    Half dozen

    This place is awesome. I picked up the half dozen of assorted protein donuts. A little bit expensive but worth it for a lower calorie protein dessert. I tried the vanilla one and it was really good. This place looks good if you have health and fitness goals that you are trying to achieve. I'd rather come here and grab a sweet treat to satisfy my cravings versus going to other places that have bad ingredients. Worth it to check it out

    Food: 5 Service: 5…read moreAmbiance: 5 Hidden gem alert! Tucked into an unassuming strip mall, you would never guess such a sexy, sophisticated spot is sitting right in the middle of it all. From the moment we walked into Fugghedabout, we were stunned. The space is dark, sultry, lightly dimmed, and incredibly chic, something you'd never expect here. It has a very grown up, intimate vibe (21+ only), perfect for date night or a night out with friends. We were lucky enough to visit on a night with live music (they have it Tuesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays), and it completely set the mood. Even though it wasn't very busy, the energy was wonderful and the music was excellent. Service was top notch. Meghan was fantastic, friendly, attentive, accommodating, and so helpful throughout the meal. Faith, the owner, also stopped by several times to check on us, which earned major points. Such a sweet touch and much appreciated. Now the food... wow. We started with the seared scallop special topped with caviar, and it was outstanding, perfectly cooked, with the caviar adding just the right touch of saltiness. Honestly, we wanted to order more. The hot goat cheese with hot honey appetizer was delicious and so comforting. Definitely get extra bread, you'll want it. Since it was Taco Tuesday, we tried the taco trio with chicken, steak, and shrimp. The steak and shrimp were standouts. The chicken was slightly dry, but overall we really enjoyed them. And the biggest surprise of the night was the shrimp and sausage skillet. Absolutely incredible. So flavorful and rich, and again we needed more bread to soak up every bit of that delicious sauce. We also ordered the crème brûlée for dessert, which was good. The sugar topping was slightly thick, and I'll admit I'm a bit of a dessert snob, so while we enjoyed it, the meal itself was really the shining star of the night. I'm already dreaming about my next visit. I was genuinely impressed by everything, service, ambiance, food, and live music. This place is a whole vibe. Five stars all the way. Highly recommend for anyone looking for amazing food in a sultry, intimate setting. I've already recommended it to several friends. Thank you Meghan and Faith for such a great night. We'll definitely be back!

    Fuhgeddaboudit! But my visit was so memorable that I will never forget about it!…read more Faith (owner) really has something special in Windomar, CA., just off of the Clinton Keith exit of Interstate 15. Imagine an elegant Wine Bar with dim lighting, an Old Skool atmosphere, and a wine list and menu of entrees and appetizers that will challenge any palate, compliments of Chef Orquedea. It was our first visit, arriving just as they opened, and having the whole romantic, classy speakeasy all to ourselves, our server Megan, made us feel right at home. Ensuring we received a little history about the establishment, the day's specials, and what some of their customers' favorites. To begin the experience, we received complimentary glasses of sparkling wine in celebration of their one-year anniversary, which was a nice touch. After a brief moment, we settled on sausage and three-cheese skillet appetizers with a house baguette. The two dishes arrived piping hot, gooey, and enticing! Amazingly delicious to say the least! Kudos to their place settings, glassware, and cloth napkins. Our selected wine was excellent as well, and the selection is very worldly and admirable. THIS is my favorite date place in the area!!! Chill, fashionable, comfortable seating, gorgeous bar, soft music in the background allowing for conversation, and the restroom provides a pleasant surprise as well. Hours of operation hover around Happy Hour and dinner, closing at 9 PM on weekdays and 10 pm on Friday and Saturday. Looking forward to enjoying their live entertainment and themed events in the future, at which time I will follow up on this review. Thank you, Faith, Megan & Orquedea for a wonderful time.--

Right off the bat, here's what I loved about this day: Big parking lot Dog friendly Live music A small‑business market Food We came on a weekend in October, so definitely check their website to see what events are happening when you go. Admission is free, but you do pay for parking. You can easily spend a whole day here, so I recommend bringing comfortable shoes, a hat, sunscreen, water, and even a blanket or chair. We arrived during a live band set, but seating was limited -- still such a fun vibe. You can also go in and out if you need to grab something from your car. They were grilling up backyard‑style burgers with sides, and it honestly felt like being at a neighborhood BBQ -- grab your drink from the cooler, pick your chips, add your toppings, and enjoy. I loved it. The pumpkin patch is huge and has every type of pumpkin you can imagine. I'd never seen white or black gourds before, but they had them here. There's a lot to walk around and explore, and make sure to stop by the farm shop for packaged nuts, seasonings, honey, and other goodies to take home. My pup Enzo had the best time -- enjoy these pics of him living his best fall life.

I should have purchased the Beurre d'Isigny butter here rather than going to Paris, buying Bordier butter vacuum sealed butter, having the hotel freeze it, then paying extra for check in luggage since it's a colder storage area. Cuisenery didn't have Bordier butter but when I was doing my online research, I found that both of the brands I mentioned are pretty good. I actually liked my Beurre d'Isigny butter better, but that's more likely due to it being unsalted versus the salted version I bought in Paris (apparently, you MUST use salted on your bread per the Parisians). They also had a bunch of other frozen foods and condiments, including frozen escargot in puff pastry, frozen baguettes, mustards, and jams.

Partly because I was gonna be out all day and didn't want the food sitting in my car. But definitely if I plan better next time I'm in San Diego I wanna buy stuff to bring back home.
