Raised Custard Filled... Yum!
Dave A.

FRESH & DELICIOUS DONUTS HERE!! We have such solid options for donuts in the 805 that Dunkin' Donuts really has no chance of taking over the scene here, especially when their donuts are not even made on site! Thompson Donuts, in Ventura, is one of those Mom & Pop shops that make incredibly delicious fresh donuts, and their customer service makes you feel like part of their family! There are other options for eats (like REALLY YUMMY croissant breakfast sandwiches, but that's for another review ;) ) however, it's their donuts that I feel should take point for all the uninitiated! APPLE FRITTER: For most of my life, I LOVED these things! Didn't matter how it was made, what was inside, they were just my "Go-To!" But as my tastes have become more finicky in my current state, it seams i have more of a preference for: not so doughy, LOTS of apple chunks, crisp edges but moist inside, and not too sweet of an outer shell. Their version here is delightful! CUSTARD FILLED RAISED: Thompson's "raised" donuts are well crafted, so you cannot go wrong with any of the versions that are available for sampling. But their Custard?!? LEGIT!!! Smooth, not too sweet, doesn't taste artificial, and a generous serving inside so you can have a lil bit with every bite! Yum! SPECIALTY THEMED DONUTS: EVERY holiday season they create fun themed donuts for people to enjoy! Or how about gigantor sized donuts? Yup! They hook that up too, on the daily! Festive joy in a "thinking outside the box" kinda way! VERY EASY RECOMMENDATION! If we are looking for donuts in the Oxnard/Ventura/Camarillo area, this is our jam! Enjoy!!! ;)

An array of donuts. Did you spot the large chocolate donut

Dozen variety

Man was so sweet to give us a free donut. Local donut shop w a great breakfast menu. Looked like a place where the regulars always come to hang out to have their daily dose of coffee & donuts.

This place has variety! The donuts were super fluffy but also packed a punch of flavor. The staff and customers all were very nice, must have been pay day! lol Bonus that they sell lottery there! Must try place!

Large Fritter
Brad E.

We came here yesterday and are back again today. Best donut holes we've ever had. We also had crullers yesterday and a twist and fritter today. If we weren't leaving today, we would be back tomorrow. Excellent coffee as well.

Maple bar and donut holes...pillowy soft and perfectly iced/glazed.

So I'm a pretty picky donut eater- but their dough is fabulous. Try the Lucky Charm with milk frosting.

Best ham, cheese, and jalapeño croissant in town! They've expanded their menus as well. You can get bagel sandwiches now.

What a great first experience that we had here! We didn't know what we wanted but the worked at the…read moreregister was so patient and despite there being a few people in line behind us, she carefully and thoroughly gave us a brief summary of all the items on the menu. Her name was Melissa and she alone gets 5 stars! We didn't want anything incredibly sweet, but she kindly let us know that we can always opt for 1/4 sweet. There was also a list of drinks next to the register that were sugar free drink options. Win! I did want to try the Maui Milk that is unique to Makenna Koffee, so I didn't get an americano this time - but maybe next time! We got one or the yummy cold brews and I got one of the supreme drinks extra hot. Both tasty and we will certainly be back! The kind, positive vibes alone at this location were enough reason to come back. And the merch was cute too! Lots of open seating and a comfy area to hang and meet with people. Will definitely be back! 5 stars all around!

Did I miss something?? This chain is growing momentum and after my experience I'm left unimpressed…read more The menu - jack of all trades, master of none. I drink coffee for two things - the taste and of course the caffeine. So trying to find something that isn't artificially flavored or sugar loaded wasn't easy. I landed on the oat milk cream cold brew. They were out of the foam, even better. However, it's odd when there's only two ingredients: coffee and oat milk, it barely tasted like coffee. And no caffeine boost whatsoever. So here's my take, if you are a beginner coffee drinker or want a coffee drink without a bunch of coffee this will be your jam. No judgement, I began my relationship with coffee with mocha frappuccinos and cappuccinos. If you are a coffee lover I'd look elsewhere.
