Although I had been to Drover's in the past, I didn't want to leave a review until I got to try a cup of coffee! Now it's safe to say I definitely have enjoyed each experience I've had at Drover's. The staff has always been helpful when I inquire for some direction with selecting a donut. I always lean towards the chocolate flavors and have been satisfied every time! I even brought a donut to my boss since he admitted to never having tried one from Drover's. He said it was very delicious. Their donuts are definitely more cakey than others I've tried but I enjoy the texture. They have the more gourmet style flavors but also have the classic ones (ie glazed) which makes for an inclusive donut experience. For the coffee I had opted for a simple latte. It did the trick with giving me a caffeinated boost for my day. Overall, each visit I've had has been what I've needed to have a sweet, caffeinated start! read more

I really had some high hopes for this place, but the doughnuts did seem like they were not fresh. The glaze and maple bacon doughnuts were both dense and dry. However, the apple fritter did taste really good. I will probably try this place again. Maybe they had an off day. read more

I lived in Nipomo , it's worth the drive, I have never had better donuts Best donuts ever, I recommend Drover's Donuts. Service was amazing,

Doughnuts are good but we spent over $35.00 on them all for the guy behind the counter to put them in a bag. The jelly filled got all over everything and not very share-friendly with coworkers. Online shows they come in a box. read more

Had the most delicious and creative donuts I have ever had. The maple bacon was to die for! Each of the staff were so friendly and gave tons of suggestions on what to try. The decor felt like what a donut stores have needed to look like forever. And the little friendly reading book with multiple board games was such a nice spot to have a couple of donuts and a coffee read more

Best maple bacon doughnut I've ever had!! Weekends tend to be busy and they sell out of certain doughnuts. Their other doughnuts are great but the maple bacon is just delicious!! read more

I stop over in Buellton from time to time and a couple of days ago I was craving donuts. Problem is I'm a gluten free kinda gal. Not many places offer GF options let alone good GF bakery items. I wanted to first say Thank you Drover Donuts for including GF donuts. Second...WELL DONE! The GF donuts were delicious! I know I'll be stopping by again!!! read more

They are the best secret in the valley. They have the best drip coffee (GroundWork roasters) and the best fresh doughnuts. Okay, so they are an occasional treat. They sell to many of the markets and shops in the area, so you maybe enjoying them already and not know it. read more

The donut recipe needs remastered. They are so average and what, $3.50? Even the basic glazed is terrible. Go next door to Albertsons. Their donuts are better and only a buck 49. For amazing donuts go to Lompoc Donuts. Obviously workers, owners and friends of friends leaving those 5 star reviews because....well, no way. read more

Delicious fresh donuts just off the highway. The cannoli flavor was unique and tasty. The raspberry was moist and tender. The custard filled chocolate was very good as well. Great coffee!! read more

Oh how we wish you would make your fritters more crispy. You know, the kind that are made up of all these delectable crunchy nuggets! Otherwise, they are just...dough-ey.... I mean, doesn't fritter mean FRIED in some lovely language? Fosters in Lompoc, off H St. by Comcast are done right. But everything else is better in B town. Please, please reconsider your fritter! Thank you! read more

Drover’s Doughnuts - From Fosters Lompoc. Please? - Donuts Near Me - Buellton, California

I came to see for myself how awesome the donuts are. They look fantastic, BUT I decided to try some donut holes & they were dry with no flavor. I asked one of the gals working if their donuts were as good as Lompoc donuts? She said, "better". Sorry,but NOPE! Lompoc donuts are the best throughout the state. read more

This donut shop is the literal BEST donut shop I've ever been to! I don't even like donuts but I went with my donut loving family anyway because they also have breakfast sandwiches. They make a savory everything donut for their sandwiches and they are fantastic!! I did try a strawberry matcha donut because my son wanted me to, and I loved it!! Excellent customer service, very clean, there's nothing bad about this place!!! If you're ever in Solvang GO TO DROVERS DOUGHNUTS!!! read more

It's behind Jack in the Box in what seems more like an office park (see my photo). NOT in the bigger Albertsons shopping center. There, I just saved you 5 minutes that you can enjoy eating donuts. Upscale, higher quality, espresso machine on premises I'd like to see more "unusual" creative donuts, I'm not expecting Voodo because Buellton is not Portland, but is down the street from the greatest pastries in the land, so Drovers should be commended for competing with that. Friendly service, ample parking, inside seating. read more

Obviously day-old donuts (at 8am). Server through in an extra donut, which I thought was nice until I realized that he charged me for it. Black coffee was solid. read more

Time to EAT the donuts -- at Drovers! Great selection of unique, freshly make round bundles of joy await you here. We tried two of the "cake" donuts -- pumpkin and blueberry -- both went great with our morning coffee. Looking forward to trying the maple bacon one next time. Being from New York City and the son of the original "Dunkin Donut Man" -- I know my donuts! read more

I've been here for donuts twice now and am always so impressed! Their options are so unique and the donuts are always really fresh. They have beautiful decor inside and parking is really easy. The staff are always super friendly and I feel like the prices are very comparable for such fancy donuts. My nieces always find donuts they love, so it's definitely kid approved! I highly recommend getting one of every kind just to be able to try a variety! read more

For our trip we stayed locally at the Sideways Inn, part of the complimentary delivered to your door breakfast was Drover's Donuts. I wasn't sure how well a continental breakfast that would make but our first night stay let me know they were fantastic! The donuts were large, with a lighter cake and a delicious and flavorful chocolate frosting. We loved the donuts so much we checked out their Instagram page and found out their shop was quite close. So we opted at the end of our vacation to grab some to take home. They have the standard options you'd find and most any donut shop in America glazed, chocolate frosted, maple frosted, iced with sprinkled, and apple fritters. We opted for their current seasonal favorites and got an assortment with Maple Bacon, Raspberry Pistachio, Triple Berry Hibiscus, White Chocolate Macadamia, Caramel Latte, and a blueberry fritter. The young lady working was so nice and helpful with me picking out what to get. She made sure we got fresh donuts for the road and they were as gorgeous as they were delicious! The shop was small but clean and well designed, it had a home feel to it while looking classic with a touch of modern. Each if the donuts we tried were so yummy, the raspberry pistachio was my fave and so flavorful I wish I lived closer! All I'm all I can't wait to go back to Solvang again, and see what Drover's has going on next time. read more

The donuts were pretty good but not the best I've had. They weren't as soft as I'd like but we did buy them at around 10am. Hoping next time we go earlier they will be fresher. The key lime pie was really good but the glazed was just okay. I would be willing to give this place one more try. read more

We were staying at the Sideways Inn and had Drover's Doughnuts delivered as part of their complimentary breakfast. They were delicious and not like any doughnut I'd had before. Great job! read more

Loved this donut place! The prices were great and the flavors were phenomenal! I got a dozen and enjoyed the original glazed, crumb, animal cracker, cereal, raspberry cheesecake and chocolate malt. The honey lavender was so-so; very strong lavender flavor. I really appreciated that the donut part was actually good. I typically find this part lacking but not here. No wonder this place is so popular! read more

From the moment I stepped in I knew I was in for a treat. So many yummy options for donuts and there was a line of anxious customers. I wanted to try so many, but I opted for 3: dulce de leche, chocolate and blueberry. All 3 donuts were so delicious and not severely sweet. I also ordered a latte that was good but unfortunately barely warm, which is likely due to the milk being warmed prior to the espresso being placed in the container for brewing and I also watched the barista slowly make my coffee and chat w a co-worker in between steps.... anyway display of donuts was clean and neat, great selection and donut service great. Sorry no photos because I opened the bag and started eating as soon as I got in the car! read more

All the way from Redlands, CA to try this doughnut shop and it did not disappoint! Friendly staff and a great selection of classic and fun seasonal flavors. Dough was the perfect texture. Literally the best jelly-filled doughnut I've ever eaten- they were definitely not stingy with the filling. The Apple fritter was softer than most other shops, which i liked. Flavors were very distinct and my only regret was not getting a full dozen because I should have tried them all. read more

The donuts are great. Every month the "seasonal" flavors are updated (usually at least 3 flavors). Along with the gourmet versions there are regular cake and raised donuts. The crumb donut is simple but an amazing favorite in our household. I recommend it read more

This donut shop is hands down the BEST! Donuts were still warm and gooey from the oven. Melt in your mouth treats! My kids got donut holes and the strawberry sprinkle donut. Both great choices. My husband and I split the Crumbl and maple bacon. Crumbl was my favorite of them. We were visiting and stayin at the Flying Fkags RV park. This was a quick drive down the road and definitely a shop you want to stop in and grab a treat!! read more

Yass to DONUTS!! Love the many different flavors of their donuts so creative!! So fancy!! Their raised donuts are fluffy just like a typical raised donuts I haven't tasted their cake or old fashion donuts but I'm sure it's just as good. If your in solvang come check this place out!! read more

The ham n cheese croissant is probably the best I have ever had. The donuts here are light and fluffy and way better than your average strip mall donut shop. I especially enjoy their old fashioned donuts. I highly recommend stopping by if you are ever in Buellton. read more

A decent $2.00 donut but if one goes in store and there is more than one person ahead of you, it's faster to make your own donuts. I have given up multiple times. read more

Best donuts in Buellton! Made to order everyday. Delicious and soft! We got several flavors to try and the maple bacon donut was the best! Key lime was delicious too. Cute place! read more

If you're passing by Buellton or live in Santa Ynez Valley stop by this new modern donut shop. Donut prices range from an old fashion at $1.25 to apple fritters at $2.75. I enjoyed the simpler side of things with a beautifully executed cake donut dusted in cinnamon sugar or glazed with some sprinkles. They also offer gorgeous crowd-pleasers like a fruit loop, glazed donut covered in crumbs, and ready for their closeups. But a donut's only as good as its base, and luckily even the standard glazed here is great. If you're unable to find parking in front of the building you can park in the next parking lot over or park by the Coffee Cabin parking lot and walk over. read more

Fantastic donuts! The maple bacon donut is always good here, and their other specialty flavors are often inventive. I absolutely loved the lavender honeycomb donut they had in August. I can't wait to see what flavors this September will bring! The donuts themselves aren't too heavy or sugary, thankfully, and the flavors really stand out because the donuts aren't too sweet. If you're in Buellton, definitely stop in for some donuts. Just note, the shop can be a little hard to find as it's sandwiched in a spot in a row of a couple of similar buildings. read more

I would not recommend this place to anyone ever. Did a donut themed birthday party for our son & we talked to the owner about doing various shades of green & blues & decorative. I received all blue, & out of the 60 I ordered for the party about 12 had sprinkles. In 2 of the boxes the frosting completely stuck to the box & couldn't even be used.That's not even the worst part...the #1...I'll let you be the judge of what you think that is, but it's definitely not a #1. They at least had the decency to refund me after ruining my sons 1st bday party. read more

Have tired on multiple occasions. I think they are more after aesthetics rather than fresh. Doughnuts tasted OLD & DRY. I would much rather have a fresh regular doughnut that cost $1.50 MAX than a "fancy" $3.50 doughnut that is dry & hard. I would focus on freshness & not aesthetics! read more

Amazing! My kids ask for these donuts each time we are in the area. Wonderful fun and fresh! Great staff and sooooo tasty read more
