    Holy mother of donuts!!! I have this coupon app and it says after a certain time they have a deal is a few places in Danny's donuts is one! I said one day I'm gonna try it. I just happen to be at Starbucks and I noticed it was right next-door so I ordered my coffee. Just walked over to see what they had.! when I first opened the door there was a family leaving and the gentleman said we will definitely be back. This is an amazing place so that was one point there as I was looking through the donuts. The gentleman gave me the warmest welcome!! I made my selection and he handed me this freshly made WARM chocolate bar, and I couldn't even walk out without trying it and let me tell you there's no place in Monterey County that holds a candle to this place.

    First time trying Danny's Donut Shop today Great price, service was good Donuts: Light, soft and yummy Churro donut holes: They were light and tastes good warm! Blueberry Cake Donut: I'm not a fan of the glazed part but I loved the soft texture and flavor inside Glazed Cronut: My first time having a Cronut (I'll have to try the sugar covered Cronut since I'm not a fan of glazed lol) Honorable Mention - Guava filled donut My Favorite, thus far! No glaze or sugar on the outside and you definitely won't miss it!

    Limited selection, donuts don't look anything special I would be fine with that but what was a disappointment was the service , staff isn't friendly they don't greet you as you walk win , they almost seem upset to have customers And the donuts are way over priced Winchells still wins

    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.

    Nice and fluffy as usual and those new Malasada donuts are so good I gotta try every flavor!

    As soon as my daughter and I walked in from the cold rainy day we were greeted by employees and even patrons at Daany's Donut Shop located next to Starbucks.

    Sticker box was unexpected but oh so cute.

    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.

    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.

I ordered the tuna melt and he got the chicken Caesar salad. The tuna melt was honestly really good. The sourdough bread was toasted nicely and I loved that crispy layer of cheese on the outside because that is a special tray and my favorite part of any melt sandwich. The tuna salad itself was flavorful. It came with potatoes that unfortunately were probably the only miss for me. They seemed like they were not reheated all the way, so they had that slightly cold, rubbery texture. They also serve this little cucumber and tomato salad on the side that was absolutely delicious and honestly such a nice fresh side to my sandwich. My son wasn't too impressed with the Caesar salad because he said the dressing tasted watery, but other than that everything else he liked - the chicken was flavorful and nicely cooked, the salad was fresh and crunchy. Service and atmosphere were nice. Overall, I would definitely come back for lunch again. Breakfast is also great here, so I would recommend both.

    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"

The restaurant has modern feel in the courtyard area is usually the best place for an outdoor brunch.
