I got there at 7:30, and they were already out of raised glazed and raised chocolate. The lady behind the counter was so sweet, and she gave me a run down of everything they had. Everything sounded so good! Some of them were still warm and freshly glazed! I definitely needed to try their whipped cream filled long John because of the tiktok ad. It did not disappoint. The donut looks so overwhelming, but it's really light and not too sweet. I enjoyed it a lot! I got a mixed dozen to enjoy for the next couple of days.

We made the forty-five-minute drive to try their viral whipped cream long johns. Available in chocolate and maple, we grabbed both. These heavy gut-busters are packed with homemade whipped cream--it honestly feels like they sliced a donut open and emptied an entire tub of Cool Whip inside. I ate one and now feel like a whole tub myself. It is worth the trip for the novelty, the experience, and the photo. We also sampled a few other items. The blueberry-filled bear claw was a standout. The buttermilk donut featured a subtle hint of coconut, though it leaned a bit dry, and the old-fashioned (available in maple, chocolate, plain, and glazed) was standard. The cinnamon roll donut came topped with maple and nuts, while the apple fritter offered a crispier texture than most, though it was otherwise just fine. The fritters might be crispy, but the owners are genuinely wonderful!

Viral. Thanks, Fauci!

Cute little bakery in Watsonville, CA…read more Stopped in for some afternoon treats. Pleasantly greeted with a chic space and lots of indoor seating. We picked up several items to go. A lemon bar, chocolate chip cookie, macaron, rice krispie, and Biscoff cheesecake. The only disappointment of the bunch was the rice krispie. Just wasn't what you want from a Rice Krispie. Overly chewy. Lemon bar just ok. No notes on the macron. It was fine. The chocolate chip cookie was phenomenal. Perfect cookie. The Biscoff cheesecake was dreamy. 10/10 would buy again. We didn't try any drinks or anything else on the menu, so can't speak to that. There aren't many boutique bakeries in Watsonville. You'll find primarily Hispanic bakeries that may not have the type of desserts you'll find at Craft Bakeshop. So if this is the type of bakery you're looking for, it's a good stop.
