We love Danny's! They always have fresh and various varieties of unique donuts everyday. We got to try fresh donuts straight out of the fryer, incredible! What a treat! Same owners as Monterey donuts in Prunedale and Monterey. They're still developing their menu and are taking suggestions and trying new things. We asked them for Ube donuts and they gladly made them, they're so good! I also asked for a whipped cream filled donut as those are my favorite. Which he made for me right on the spot! They also have cronuts which are my friends favorite. There's always something new in the case. They have recently added Boba drinks which I haven't tried yet. read more

I've already been here 3x in the last week! The selection seems limited but I don't mind, the doughnuts taste fresh and delicious. I believe they are just selling them as fast as they are making them which is great! They have "free coffee with a doughnut purchase" which is nice too. (Or you can hit up the Starbucks next door) Next time I'm going savory and trying the ham and cheese croissants. They also have Boba drinks and breakfast sandwiches on the menu. Another little thing that makes me happy here is the little sticker box they have by the register. Just little fun stickers for free. I will be by to drop off some stickers and add to the fun. read more

Came in around 2:20pm and there was a sign out front that said "hot and fresh batch at 2pm" but the selection was minimal, I don't know if it's because there was a rush or if I misunderstood but yeah. The service was attentive and quick. I wish I had asked more questions. I think what they could do to improve is to either specifically place "regular", "deluxe", and "fancy" in certain spots OR/AND make cute little signages for each donut explaining the name, type, and maybe allergens. I was gonna go with a deluxe dozen but they didn't have too many options so I went with regular for today. read more

This place SUCKS!!! when they first opened, the place was immaculate! The donuts were plentiful, the people were pleasant. Now the staff changes almost daily. The donuts are always half empty. You can buy a coffee but half the time it's too strong. The coolers are broken if you're looking for any type of artificial sweeteners, creamers or anything like that... Good luck! Sometimes I'll have a carton of milk in the cooler next to the front door. The communal milk carton that everyone gets to use. This place is horrible. It has gone so far downhill it wouldn't surprise me if someone else bought the franchise because it is night and day from how it was when it opened. read more

I've have donuts from all over Monterey county but these are the best, not heavy and greasy like other places. there maple and chocolate bars are my favorite. My only gripe is sometimes they shove to many donuts in a box and the they get ruined. The chocolate stuck to the botttom of the maple bar and the maple stuck to the box and wouldn't come off.... That kinda ruined my experience lately, and it's always my door dash orders. read more

When I asked for no boba at all, they still charged the higher price and sent the cups only partially filled. The taro flavor was also very off--not sweet and tasted like mixed cereal.

What a joy to discover a new, non-chain donut shop in our neighborhood. I drove by the sign on the way home from the gym (so didn't stop in, because I'm a good boy) and so I stopped in at the first opportunity. It is a surprisingly spacious place nestled next to the Starbucks, with outdoor seating and a couple of glass cases full of baked delights. We got the Glazed, Chocolate Glazed, Maple and Chocolate Twist, Apple Fritter, and a Twisted Braided Blueberry something. All were fluffy, tasty and, best of all, not so sweet that our teeth hurt after eating them, which is a problem with some chain-store donuts. Good place, welcome to the neighborhood. Go visit. read more

The five is for the guava filled, powder sugared donut. It was like a cloud. Yum! The young woman behind the counter was helpful, answered questions and made us smoothies. The smoothies were good but looked nothing like the pictures so be aware. The place is a typical donut shop, slightly in the small side. The place has a couple of tables. The only suggestion o have after going a couple of times is to check the stock of napkins and other items on the counter. Ensure that customers have the items to clean themselves up or hold the donuts without getting their fingers all sticky. The other donuts are well done. Beyond the guava filled, try the churro donut and the blueberry fritters! I hope you all enjoy! read more

Man, I don't know what happened here in such a short amount of time this place went from great to not so great. I live 5 minutes down the street and come get donuts often. Either for work or for my family. I was so excited to have such a great donut spot nearby but the quality and consistency has declined fast. Also, the customer service is just not welcoming, at least when I've been there. The young staff always looks annoyed or upset that you walked in. Tbh, I don't care too much about that because the donuts were good. Lately though, the flavor is lacking, they are tasting very greasy/oily and inconsistent. Also, there is no organization. I've ordered blueberry fritters to get home and have apple fritter or get an ube one to get a mixed flavor in my box. There should be signs infront of each donut instead of me having to ask the already annoyed staff what flavor this is if it's a unique one. Also, the ube and chocolate donuts used to be very flavorful but I got some the other day and they were poorly mixed and lacking flavor. I don't know what's happening but I hope it gets better so I don't have to drive 15 minutes to Marinas donut spot. Side note, the place could use some light cleaning i.e. doors are dirty, floors, etc. Staff should be keeping the place tidy when its slow so the owner doesn't have so much on his plate. I will keep supporting to see if it gets back it's spark but time will tell. read more

I used to like coming here when they first opened but after a few months, service hasn't been good. Their employees are not friendly and they don't seem happy to be there. A month ago, I ordered 2 dozen donuts and expected them to be ready when I came in. The employee at the counter didn't know what I was talking about and looked confused. I told him I talked to someone and ordered them over the phone. After a few mins., he finally found the "yellow sticky note" with my order and of course it wasn't ready. It took him 30 mins. to prepare my order. It was very frustrating. They're only donuts. It's not like he has to cook them. Their donuts are still good but when I came in today at 1000, there were only approx. a dozen donuts left. I asked their employee if they're going to make any more donuts like they claim they do in the afternoon, and she said they're not. How can you expect customers to come back when you have poor customer service and you don't have the product to sell? I hope they'll make things better. read more

Being back in town, I had to give it a try after 15+ years being away. What a let down honestly. We were seated right away which was appreciated. It was about 10am on a Wednesday and we arrived just before the big rush it seemed. To drink, we ordered waters and orange juice and coffee. A whole coffee carafe was left on our table which was a bit of a surprise and the orange juice as advertised tasted freshly squeezed. Before ordering our food, my husband began asking the waiter about gluten free pancakes or waffles (since such was advertised online in a review from 11yrs ago) and before he could even finish the question the waiter cut him off to explain all the pancake and waffle options. My husband kindly asked again and was told they didn't have any specific gluten free options. That's ok, he ordered their Bacado omelette and instead of toast on the side he asked for a side of fruit. I ordered their Cinnamon Bread French Toast and a side of 1 scrambled egg and 1 sausage. I was told the sausage only comes in 2 or 4, and so I chose 2. When the food arrived, I immediately thought this all looks ok. And the taste was just the same. The omelette was not fluffy like you'd expect a highly rated restaurant omelette to be. The side of fruit came in a condiment cup and had 1 grape as well as 3 pieces of other fruit. The hash browns were sad looking, pretty pale and absolutely no crunch. My husband even added salt which was sad and rare to watch him do. My French toast was ok, kind of soggy and didn't have any caramelization or crunch on the outside whatsoever. It's definitely cinnamon toast vs a cinnamon roll French toast and was nothing special. The sausage was the best part which says a lot. I wouldn't come back here because there's infinitely better options minutes away.

I stopped by Portabello's for a Sunday brunch and overall, I had a very nice experience. We were…read moreseated right away and provided menus promptly, which is always a good start. We ordered avocado toast, French toast, banana pecan pancake, house potatoes, and an Aperol spritzer. My avocado toast was served on a single very thick piece of bread, which had a very generous amount of avocado smash and was topped off with this delightful and fresh arugula salad. I added an over easy egg for an extra charge that was the perfect balance. The house salad was simple with butter lettuce, cherry tomatoes, radish, cucumber, with a light lemon house dressing that brought the salad together. It was refreshing. The French toast is pretty standard. Nothing that particularly stood out. The banana pecan pancake was delicious and shared with everyone at the table. The house potatoes were extra crispy on the outside but soft on the inside, which I found particularly satisfying. Overall, we had a pleasant experience and found Portabello's to be a good brunch spot in Salinas. The service was fast, the food portions were big, the food tasted fresh, and it was a nice ambiance. I would definitely return for the avocado toast and potatoes. Side note - I noticed Caesar Salad was misspelled on the menu as "Caeser"
