We always stop here in when we are in town. It's nothing fancy, but the donuts are tasty and the service is friendly and fast. I love organizing stuff, and every time we go here I want to spend a day just cleaning up the place. It's not dirty; it's just kind of unorganized. It needs some TLC. read more

I have been going here for year and love the donuts here. I just wish they were a little fluffier but that could be personal preference. I love their round chocolate donuts. I wish their chocolate bars were a little thicker but taste wise they are great and not greasy at all. read more

Golden Donut - Bakeries Near Me - Pismo Beach, California

My family's old go to when we lived in AG. When you enter, you are welcomed. They had many donuts to choose from, especially for a Wednesday at 11:30am. Still thick glazed, filled to the max and very fluffy. The place, itself, hasn't changed one bit, since the 90's. Ambiance is still that old donut shop. My daughter loved her pink sprinkled and I loved my Jelly and Custard. My daughter thought that it was so cool that I used to go there as a kid and now she got to go. It was great to share it with her and make our memories. read more

Had a old tasting donut glazed up like a mofo. Disgusting. Gave the place another try since business have bad days. Nope. This guy uses old dough/ingredients. Then he smothers the things with glaze up the wazu to drown out the old nasty taste. Dont fall for it read more

Way too expensive and the old man looks creepy.. also he doesn't fill up the coffee cup! And ask for a tip ! Smh

Our favorite donut shop of all time. Awesome donuts! The owners are great and we miss living just down the street!

Bought a dozendonuts, the Chocolate buttermilk Bar was under cooked and oily, Maple Bar was meh Chocolate donut dry, way expensive for bad doughnuts. Definitely won't be back and will make the drive to SLO to Slodoco Doughnuts read more

Solid little shop. No frills decor but the service was polite and friendly. The donuts my kids tried were fluffy and fresh. $3.75 for 2 glazed. read more

I've never thrown a donut away until today! The worst I've ever had paid over 3 bucks for an Apple fritter that was dry and over fried with no apple! The staff didn't even say hello or the total very disappointed. read more

The lady at the counter was very nice. We got 2 raspberry filled donuts and she filled them up on the spot! Very full and delicious! The bacon maple bar wasn't as expected. We didn't finish that one. The honeydew boba was sweet and good. There wasn't much boba, and the taste and texture of the boba was okay. Overall, a good experience with 2 yummy donuts! read more

Great donuts - fresh and not greasy. Like the ham and cheese croissants as well. Donut holes are particularly good

Stopped in for a donut treat and craving got satisfied! I like that their maple bar is not overly frosted, just the way I like it. I hate sticky fingers. They are nice and courteous there and the location is in the same shopping center as Ross! read more

Golden Donut - Bakeries Near Me - Pismo Beach, California

This is another favorite donut shop that I occasionally like to come by and visit because it's off the freeway of 101. Normally I'll just get like one donut or a croissant always something small. The customer service here is always excellent they tend to please all the customers that frequent their shop. The donuts here are pretty much tasty but I still have my other favorite donut shops along my route while driving on 101. I wish that they had more of a variety but like I said it's off the freeway and I'm just happy that there is a shop that I can go to while I'm on my way to work. And that's my take of this fine little donut shop. read more

Awesome bobas and great donuts too!

The Best Donuts in SLO County! These are donut craftsmen and women (Christine), artisans really. If you go there and they are out of Maple Old Fashioned, it's because I bought them all. Sorry! Get there earlier next time. Say Hi to Kevin. read more

So delicious. I'd say it's my favorite donut shop in the county for sure. Donuts are fresh, people are very kind. They have it set up very clean and safe right now with the COVID situation. And they have some incredible Thai Ice Tea! It's extremely good and worth trying if you like Thai tea!!!! Thanks Golden Donut! :) read more

I've been coming to this location for over twenty years. As the center around it changes, the one constant has been this shop, and for good reason. They know their products and execute them well. One couldn't think fried dough and sugar could require great technique. Whatever it is, this place has it. Shop isn't fancy, it's there to sell donuts. You'll find no hipster wall decor or comfy leather chairs. In fact, I sometimes think the wall decor was posted before I was born. But, you know what, that's okay. I want fried dough done right, not atmosphere and ambience (as long as it's kept clean)! Their prices are fair for the product. I'm sure there are cheaper stores elsewhere, but in my experience it isn't worth it. The variety is pretty good, although Sunshine Donuts (another great shop) in SLO has a more diverse selection. My favorites are always bear claw, maple bar, old fashioned, blueberry (more like freeze-dried blueberry candies inside, but that's okay) and glazed. Also, more often than not, donut holes are tossed into a box free of charge (I know, they probably want to ensure they get rid of them, too, but still appreciated.) Not a regular donut buyer, but I know at least one shop at the AG/Pismo divide that does it well. A solid staple for sweet satisfaction. read more

Came here to buy some donut holes and I found a couple dead ants on them. They were sitting there all day in a bag. I'm so disgusted. read more

Golden Donut - YUK - Bakeries Near Me - Pismo Beach, California

This donut place was good. The donuts are fresh and the service was good. The reason for the 4 Star is the price of a dozen donuts was 16.50 Which I thought was a little high. Most of the donuts were regular ones and I only got a couple specialty donuts. The sign didn't state that different donuts would change the price of the dozen. I still bought them, it just bothered me a little on the price thats all! read more

I been coming to this place for serval years and their service has always been great and they have the best donuts ever, my favorite is the bacon maple bar. They have a donut run every Saturday morning is like a car show with many cool cars from exotics, to hot rods, and original classics, very nice. I highly recommend this place. read more

Came here based on the reviews and star rating. To my surprise it was horrible! I'm an equal opportunity when it comes to donuts. I looked at all the donuts trying to figure what one had the most toppings. Each donut barely had anything on top. I picked the chocolate with sprinkles. It cost me $1.59 for a dry donut. I should have just left. read more

Loved this donut shop. The owner is very sweet and let me stay there and wait for a friend that was in a business meeting. I loved the coffee and the donuts. Fresh and delicious not oily at all. . read more

A friendly local donut shop who makes great typical donuts. While this is a typical donut shop in a typical strip mall, the quality and friendly service can't be beat. I'm always happy to pass on by and grab a few donuts on my way when heading down 101 (The 101 if your from LA) This is not some fancy donut chain, but they do have a few unique donuts which are fun for everyone. So next time your in Pismo area, drop on by to get your donut fix! read more

The employees are so nice here and doughnuts are always fresh. If they don't have a doughnut with the filling you want if they have time they make it for you always go here after a shopping trip to Ross read more

Best French curllers In the area. The staff is absolutely amazing and friendly. But better wake up in order to get them as your chances are slim past noon for French curllers read more

Best donuts in SLO county hands down. The donuts are delicious and soft and they always have something fresh. They're a little pricey, but everything on the central coast is a little pricey. read more

I love this donut shop! I live near by and they are always very friendly and have donuts in stalk. I have come several times already because they make it a supper quick errand for me. read more

Actually, my rating is closer to 2.5 stars because of the small menu. The donuts taste just right...not too sweet or too oily. And they go great with hot coffee or milk. Enough said. read more

Donuts! The same family has been running it since I was a kid. Courteous service, they're always in stock of what I like (Plain cake donuts and buttermilk bars). Donuts haven't been stale ever, but I always go early. read more

Very good. Had the glazed and old fashioned. Delicious. Clean And sunny interior. Polite service.

Golden Donut. What a gem. Great selection of almost always fresh donuts. They keep it simple and nothing too fancy but they do venture out once in awhile. Personally I stick with old standards since they don't try to be anything more than a corner spot strip mall Donut shop. Solid Maple Bars and glazed. Every Saturday morning you can grab a couple, cruise the lot and see the Donut derelicts cars. Not pretentious, just fun. Sunday's is pretty quiet and donuts aren't as fresh because friends aren't there. M - Sat are great. Personally I think best donuts in AG area even though technically in Pismo. read more

Super cute and yummy spot for a bacon maple donut. Tried a few others too - yum! Would definitely go back when I am in town!

Really good, not too oily, not too sweet. A very enjoyable donut and nice friendly staff at the counter. I would recommend this if you were going to Pizmo beach for the off-highway vehicle area. read more

These guys are legit! Best donuts in AG, my favorite has to be the glazed old fashioned and next up would be a glazed buttermilk bar and then a raspberry filled and powdered pillow of yummyness. I only wish they would make their apple fritters thicker, but if you like your fritter crispy from edge to edge you'll be stoked. read more

Okay coffee. Donuts usually fresh, not too sweet or blah-3 stars For motorheads there is usually an unofficial gathering of classic cars around 800am saturday mornings-1star. Nice to stroll eyeballing some nice cars & enjoy some coffee and donuts. read more

I've been a fan for years. The owners / operators are very friendly and aim to please. It's always clean and the donuts croissants are awesome. I walk here with the kids on the weekend and they always look forward to it. I highly recommend the ham and cheese croissant and the jalapeño ham and cheese croissant. read more

I'm so glad I found this place! They make REAL FRENCH doughnuts!! Very different from so many that are so-called French. They are moist and melt-in-your mouth inside and crispy on the outside, just as they are supposed to be. I haven't had one since decades ago when one shop in Sacramento had them. read more
