Stopped here on our way out of Carmel for brekky. It's located in Carmel Plaza so your best bet is probably street parking. We were the first people here when they opened so the 5 donuts we ordered were ready super fast and were hot and fresh. I was a little disappointed not to see more of the experimental flavors on the menu today, we ordered: vanilla bean, cinnamon sugar, carrot cake, blood orange, and coconut lime. I was a little bummed not to see the almond horchata, kumquat, or miso caramel, but I guess you just have to time it right. The carrot cake was such a yummy flavor but the frosting was lightly bordering on that "too much powdered sugar" flavor where all you can taste is the sugar and not the flavor of the frosting. I think I preferred the flavors without the thick frosting for this reason: the cinnamon sugar and vanilla glaze were our favorites for sure. The blood orange was really good too! I would agree with some other reviews that these are a bit overpriced, $5 for one donut is a little much. I wish they had deals for dozens or half dozens.
The donuts are tasty. I ordered a strawberry Italian Soda and it was yummy. It was busy but the cashier was nice and fast. The place is clean and nicely organized.,
Donuts are made to order and come out fresh! Line can get long but moves fast. We got the vanilla, orange, and butter pecan. Tasty treat!
THE BEST DONUTS. We came upon this donut store while walking around Carmel. The donuts are made fresh to order and you can see them make it right then and there. We ordered the beignets + vanilla bean glaze. The beignets were light and fluffy topped with powdered sugar, reminded me of Disneyland beignets. The vanilla bean glaze was also freshly made and steaming hot but was so GOOD. I was so shocked how good the donuts were that I came back the next morning for more!
Hot and fresh and made to order!! Try the vanilla, the chocolate and the maple bacon. So good !!!!0
These donuts are worth stopping by for. As a casual donut enjoyer I can say that these donuts are amazing. They are served hot and fresh, which is my preferred way to eat donuts. The donuts themselves have a more similar texture to a funnel cake. And the flavors are interesting. I personally got the miso caramel and the lime sumac donuts. Would 100% recommend them both, I preferred the lime one
These donuts are so delicious. They are fluffy and warm when they come out. The miso caramel glaze is unreal. The star of the show, the sesame almond cinnamon donut was just delicious, crispy, and mouth watering. Only thing about it is the poor atmosphere. Very stale and uninviting.
Insanely good donuts! I didn't even realize donuts like this existed in California. They're made-to-order, and the flavors are insanely good. We got two donuts, an amazing a miso caramel donut, but the best was definitely the tangerine-cardamom. There for some reason wasn't a big line, but my partner and I were sincerely blown away by the quality here. Will for sure be back!
