The donuts themselves are phenomenal, but they also make really solid breakfast options if you're not in the mood for something sweet. Their breakfast croissant sandwiches and bagel sandwiches are both great and worth trying. That said, the real standout here is their Vietnamese iced coffee. It's honestly the best I've had anywhere. I've tried Vietnamese iced coffee in different places across the U.S., and nothing has come close to DK's. Whatever they're doing, they've clearly figured it out, and it's a big reason I keep coming back. Parking is easy, and the inside is exactly what you'd expect from a classic donut shop. The staff is friendly and easy to work with, whether you're ordering something quick or picking out a larger order. They also offer a great variety of themed donuts for events like birthdays, holidays, work parties, or kids' celebrations, in addition to their regular selection. On top of that, they're available on delivery apps like DoorDash and Grubhub, which makes it even easier to get their coffee, donuts, and breakfast sandwiches when you don't feel like going out. Out of all the donut shops out there, DK's definitely stands out. If you're in Arroyo Grande, it's absolutely worth stopping by.

The shop is very cute and the option to watch the rolls get cut, needed, and shaped through the transparent dividers offered a fun experience while we warmed our buns in their customer-accessible microwave. As with any Pismo Beach business in the downtown area, your experience with crowds will vary depending on if you go on a weekday or weekend. The shop will be notably bustle-filled with lines if you go during the hot days of Friday through Sunday.

More like room temperature but absolutely satisfying. More on the bread side rather than cake like. Reasonable for the value at five dollars each. There were three tables out front and a bench at their side parking lot as far as seating. Known for the long lines but non-existent for me on a week day. Appreciate how different in comparison to others. Would certainly make a return.

I loved that there were plenty of seating options, including comfortable couches, regular tables and chairs, and high-top seating, so it's easy to find a spot that fits what you're looking for. The only downside is the parking. There isn't a dedicated parking lot, so you'll need to find street parking, which can be a little challenging depending on how busy the area is. Other than that, I had a wonderful experience and would definitely come back the next time I'm in Pismo Beach!

Bought one of the triple berry pies and apple crisps to try and they were delicious! The filling for the berry pie was really good slightly tart and sweet. If you like pie crust, the crust was well done too- flaky and crisp. The apple crisp was soooo good- the topping was really tasty and the filling was delicious. I'd go back to try their other pies and hand pies. Feeding the sheep, cow, goats and llamas $3 a head lettuce was so fun! The animals loooove eating the lettuce and it's an enjoyable experience for kids and adults alike. The fields with bales of hay to climb and pose on and also the flower fields to walk around in was also nice too! There was a hay ride, but we were not able to make it-- maybe next time. The food was just mediocre. The pulled pork sandwich had too much sauce on it and it was hard to eat because the bread just fell apart. I wish there were a little more coleslaw on top because it cut the sweetness of the sauce. Would not order again. The tritip sandwich was just okay- lots of thinly sliced meat, but flavor was just alright. Would not order again. The plain hotdog was actually pretty good- it was a big hotdog. Would probably order again for my kid haha. The highlight of the meal was the Brussels sprouts (no pecans and subbed Parmesan for the bleu cheese)! Nicely roasted and seasoned. Definitely would order again! The strawberry lemonade and the oallaberry lemonade were really good- not too sweet and very fruity. Definitely would order again Would definitely come back to spend a couple of hours here!

I highly recommend Fosters Donuts! Their donuts are always fresh and fluffy, and they're open late, perfect for that afternoon sweet treat. While the donuts are what bring you in, it's the warmth and kindness of the owners that will make your day. They always greet you with smiles and ask how you're doing. Such a sweet couple! read more
