Kristys Donuts are very light and fluffy/flakey…read more It definitely tastes like they change and take care of the oil they're dunking their donuts into. Out of: glazed, cake with sprinkles, chocolate glaze, maple bar, maple donuts and creme filled chocolate here are my rankings in order of best to worst: 1. Glazed - I'm plain. I judge a donut by its base and I enjoy that nice pure taste of a fresh glazed donuts. It was flakey and fluffy, the glaze wasn't too sweet and wasn't sticky and gross. It was all a very good package. 2. Cake with Sprinkles - ok, first - I don't like cake donuts. I love cake, I love donuts - but they're two separate entities. However, this cake donut (chocolate or vanilla with sprinkles) blew my mind. It was still kinda hot, crispy on the outside and soft and taste on the inside. If you ever tried an Andagi this is EXACTLY what they taste like. This was a hard #2 3. Chocolate with filling - it was good, but I love frills and the custard filling was a grill. The donut was good and the filling wasn't too sweet. 4. Chocolate Glaze And then the maple bar and maple donut were too sweet for me. In any case I took one for the maple bar and then also because I think Salinas donut is giving them a run for their money. I enjoyed this donut but the location and taste will keep me Salinas donut loyal.

I believe this yelp site is in desperate need of update as the business name does not reflect the…read moreproducts sold. To be clear, yes, they sell donuts, but no, they do not sell ice cream; and, furthermore, it feels as though the donuts only exist because of the lottery tickets and scratchers that they sell as those have a better selection than donuts. That said, I did purchase a donut from their meager selection in the afternoon. Not sure if that selection was limited by the time of day, or simply reflects all that they have but the donut was decent, I believe it was called a cinnamon crunch, but the remaining selection of donuts were a small collection of cake and old-fashioned. Still not sure why ice cream is listed in the name as the sign outside the business does not reflect that either. I went to purchase my donut only to learn that they only accept credit cards for purchases over three dollars. Good to know my donut was under three dollars, disappointing if you fail to bring cash they have a decent sized sitting area in the back behind the lottery section. Ironically, I feel as though it is more generous than the area used to sell their tickets and donuts, the attendant was neither nor cordial. Experience was less than memorable. The only reason I chose to do a review to help others avoid a similar disappointment. My final advice, walk across the street buy some box donuts from Grocery Outlet and you'll be similarly pleased.

That kind of customer service is almost extinct these days. Most places make you feel like you're inconveniencing them if you ask for a sample--looking at you, Baskin-Robbins. The donut itself was amazing. You could immediately tell it was made with better ingredients than what most places use. It was warm, fresh, rich, and actually tasted homemade instead of mass-produced. The chocolate flavor was spot on, and the texture was perfect. What really stood out, though, was the generosity. The owner was confident enough in his product to hand me a warm donut and say, "Here, try this." That simple gesture turned me from someone just walking by into a customer for life. Great donuts, great ingredients, and even better customer service. In a world where genuine hospitality is getting harder to find, this place is doing it right. Highly recommend.

All the pastries are from local favorites, can't go wrong with a chocolate croissant from Otto's Bakery in my opinion. The quiches from Paris Bakery are a more savory option, but you really can't go wrong. The little ones love the "pop tarts from Lupitas Bakery. As for the coffee, hubby loves the lattes. I hear everyone order the lavender vanilla but we haven't jumped on the floral coffee bandwagon just yet. I love they offer unsweetened matcha and use good grade matcha. Only small irk was the cold foam was half my cup, delicious? Yes. However, I will skip the foam route and keep my full 20 ounces for matcha. The "vibe" as the kids say is fun, inside seating is very limited but plenty of outdoor dog friendly space on the patio. Parking is complicated being right off the highway and next to a popular breakfast spot, so be cautious, but definitely give it a try.

First of the cafeteria has a wide range of lunch option that are all delicious! I normally get the burritos or tortas but my partner has also tried some of the salads they offer and everyone has been amazing. But the baked goods are really where this place shines. I'm always impressed with the large variety of options that the bakery has. And while I haven't tried them all, every single one that I have had has been absolutely amazing! I would have to say that my top pick however would be their Tres Leches cups. It is absolutely divine and is hands down the best Tres Leches I have ever had no contest. They also do wedding cakes. I had my wedding this year in Monterey and they were able to provide an absolutely beautiful two layered cake with a perfectly spiced carrot cake as the bottom layer and a wonderfully moist Tres Leches cake as the top layer. Absolutely everyone was raving about how good the cake was!
