Absolute perfection, crispy on the outside with that caramelized, slightly charred sugar, and packed with soft apple pieces inside. The texture balance was unreal: crunchy edges with a soft, sweet center. The ube donut was good too, definitely on the sweeter side. If you love sweet treats, you'll enjoy it, but I personally wished the ube flavor came through a bit more to balance it out. The blueberry donut was another standout. Super soft and muffin-like with plenty of blueberry flavor throughout, plus a nice outer layer for texture. Honestly way better than a typical chain version. Donut holes were solid as well, simple, fresh, and satisfying. Overall, everything tasted fresh and high quality. Service was fast, and the baker was super friendly, hooked it up with extra donuts, which made the experience even better. The vibe was welcoming, and it's definitely a spot worth checking out. I'll be back for sure.

2 stars Just ate an…read morealmond croissant made by Lupita at a marina coffee shop. It is nothing like a traditional almond paste croissant that you can expect to find in Paris. Everything about it was wrong. The dryness of the bread, the apparent lack of butter, the use of powdered milk, the overly sugariness of the almond paste itself. The marina coffee shop used to carry an almond croissant from another bakery, which I was really looking forward to. So when I bit into this one, I was immensely disappointed. Taste is subjective so I can't say that it's terrible, but I really wanted to throw out the remainder of what I was eating.

I love pan dulce.. As soon as we opened the door I was in Pan Dulce heaven. We selected a few, enough for the evening and for the morning with coffee. Conchas were amazing, not dry at all. We also had blueberry muffins for the morning and those were moist and tasty. We ended up going the next evening for a refill as we were headed back to the Bay Area the following morning. Welp, it was sooooo good we went again in the morning. We had to share with our family. We went three days in a row!! I look forward to my next trip out there!

The lady working was playing lotto and made an audibly annoyed huff and moved her things even though there was more than enough space. My husband apologized and asked if we weren't allowed to eat there. She said she had to charge extra tax to eat there, but mind you, she did not ask if we were dining in nor mentioned that policy when we ordered. We will not visit this establishment again.

We ordered the iced Dirty Chai Latte ($5.45), a hot Mocha ($5.75), and a vanilla glazed donut…read more($5.50). The drinks were solid! Nothing to write home about, but they came out quickly and definitely hit the spot. The highlight was the vanilla glazed donut! It took a couple of minutes since it was made to order, but it was absolutely worth the wait. It came out piping hot with a perfectly crunchy, sweet glaze. The donut itself had a crisp exterior and a light, pillowy interior. Easily one of the best donuts I've ever had! The service was great as well. The person who took our order was kind, attentive, and enthusiastic. There was also plenty of seating, making it a great place to relax with a drink and a snack. The space was clean, bright, and filled with cute decor. Overall, Dutch Door Donuts is a great spot to satisfy your sweet tooth and grab a pick-me-up if you're visiting the area. The donuts are an absolute must-try!

I guarantee you if these donuts were served room temperature- they would be inedible. This place is gimmicky- they aren't real donuts . They taste like a 9 year old used their new Easy-Bake oven they got for Christmas. The donuts are irregular in shape with icing dripping all over the place. They are warm , messy and not that good to be honest. The next day they are awful. I paid almost 17.00 for three donuts. Not at all worth the money in my opinion.

We left with a bitter taste in our mouth because the lady with curly gray hair rudely asked us to…read morewait outside even though my husband was looking at their products which he was considering purchasing. He put it back because she told us to wait outside. If you want customers to wait outside, maybe you should put your products elsewhere? Only a few minutes later, another customer waited exactly where we were standing and they didn't say anything to her. The barista taking our order was friendly and welcoming. The pourover was good. It was a true light roast from Costa Rica with fruity bright notes. The espresso was a typical medium-dark roast, nothing to write home about. The milk texture was overly frothy with big bubbles. If you are looking for a third-wave experience or more specialty forward coffee, you're better off looking elsewhere (like Counterpoint).

Very cool and hip cafe in old town Monterey. I think it is in a historic building as it totally…read morelooks like a Spanish Mission era type of building. Super open and airy, there's a separate room off to the side with some haphazardly laid out tables and seats. The main retail area is pretty busy with people lined up placing orders/waiting for an order, or people fixing up their coffee drinks. Now even though I took my goods to-go I had to go out to their patio to find a restroom. That outdoor area is totally cool, totally out in the open but you're like in a square inside a fort, surrounded by walls, so you can't see any street action. But you're totally open to roam in here from the street. Next time I'm in this area, I'm definitely gonna make time to chill on that patio. Cold Brew ($6.50/5*) Perfect to my taste, smooth and mellow on the roast. Pricey for a small cup but this is a touristy area. Banana Bread Slice ($5.25/4*) Very thick slice. Super soft yet moist in the center but firmer and more well done on the edges. Pretty dark in color, maybe some cocoa powder went in but there were also tiny hits of dark chocolate throughout. Mild natural banana flavor, wished it were stronger but that's me. Blue Corn Cookie ($5/5*) Never had a cookie like this before but I was pretty impressed. Kinda like a cornbread but made into the texture of a good cookie, so it was crisp and buttery on the bottom and moist and chewy in the center. All whilst having a pronounced corn meal flavor and texture. Major props for exposing me to something new that I enjoyed immensely. Went great with sips of black cold brew. Most other things in their pastry case seemed a tad fancier than most other regular coffee shops. I'm just glad I was able to run into and choose a more special cafe to end my beautiful trip out in the central coast.
