    Bar area, lounge with a Nintendo Switch set up (Mario Kart with several pro controllers)
    Oliver O.

    To start, majority of their donuts are actually croissant donuts, cro-nuts, which actually has some really great taste and texture. We got lucky with parking and got up front and were greeted with a delightful lineup of cro-nuts. The guy at the counter was extremely friendly and patient while we stared at the menu. After ordering, it felt like the drinks and sandwiches came really fast. Eating cro-nuts is definitely not the cleanest activity (or eating any specialty donut for that matter) so either bring hand sanitizer or hopefully the bathroom is available to wash your hands right before. Cool thing about this place, they do have a lounge area with a whole Nintendo switch set up, and they actually have pro controllers available so you're not stuck with the tiny switch remote. For the food, it's a bit pricey. Feels like you're paying more for the lounge and hang out. The sandwich we had as well, we asked if the kitchen could cut it in half. They were not able to, but the guy who took our order quickly provided us with a knife and fork to cut it ourselves. Great service, great place to hang out, would recommend if you like cro-nuts, though it's a tad bit pricey.

    Quirky, delicious, and, elevated is the three best words to describe this donut shop. When you step in, the counter is right there. Showcasing their donuts in all their glory. At least 18 choices! But it doesn't stop there. They offer breakfast sandwiches too, including avocado toast. Coffee drinks and bar drinks available too. Once you decided on a donut, breakfast sandwich or one of each, the seating area is plentiful. Including a little living room with plush pink couches AND video games for your enjoyment. I ordered the Bandito breakfast sandwich. A flaky bun, egg, hash brown, chorizo patty, green peppers, cheese, and, crema. It has no business being that delicious!! 10/10 would order again. If you want simple, The Standard is for you. Flaky bun, bacon or ham, egg, hash brown, and, cheese. Basic but delicious. Service was great! Very hospitable. Nice young man with a sense of humor. Felt welcomed. But before we could we leave, we had to get a donut. I tried the Happy Camper. A s'more donut! Another banger if I say so myself!

    Tried this place a few weeks back when I was in the area and wow I don't typically like donuts and these were amazing. The shop was a cool little place with a cute lounge area to hangout and watch tv and place game. The offered donuts and breakfast sandwiches which had me very tempted but had to stick with donuts! I got a 4 count of sprinkles, s'mores, beignet, and fruit pebbles! The donuts are more of cronuts which are my absolute favorite and so so good. The bread is so moist and crisp on the outside. I will say you cannot leave these donuts to eat for later or the next day. They are donuts you do need to eat sooner than later! All around though very good and unique!! The guy working there really loved what we was doing and was very friendly and happy to help us out!

    Well, I didn't realize this was a CRONUT shop, and honestly I don't know if this a good new realization, because they're even better than I imagined, but I may be getting them way more often than I need to. The staff was so sweet and helpful and they were extra sweet to my pup whom they gave some whipped cream too. So cool there's a full bar here too and a super cute patio right in the heart of downtown Mesa. Everything I had was delicious: chai tea latte, churrito?, and the monkey one (Nutella/banana). The crunchy outside and buttery flaky middle makes these insanely delicious. I highly recommend!

    Outcast sells what they call layered donuts which seems to be their version of the cronut. The base is a croissant donut with various toppings you can choose. (They have about fifteen flavors to pick from.) The donuts are not cheap but seem to be about the same price as a pastry might cost you - just more expensive than traditional donuts. I liked the Happy Camper (chocolate frosted, graham sprinkles, toasted marshmallow and Hershey bar) but would have liked a little more graham flavor. The It's Wicked Creamy (their take on Boston Cream) was good too. The All Hail Churrito was simple, but a basic cinnamon sugar delight. The Maple, Eh? was too cloyingly sweet for me. The guy who helped us both times is very friendly and helpful. I may come back on a rare occasion but the higher price point here also might keep me away.

    The perfect place if you're craving something sweet! Got a cappuccino to balance the sweetness. They're basically fancy croissants! It is street parking, but we didn't have a problem on a Saturday afternoon. They also had video games so it is a good place to hangout. There was a red head who helped us, she had the best customer service, didn't get her name. Had the most welcoming attitude.

    I went to Outcast on Sunday and got a Cheeky monkey (Nutella and banana) and a Boston cream (I don't remember their name for it) both donuts were excellent. I also got a campfire but I didn't eat it yet (froze it for later). Their donuts are cronuts (croissant donuts). Around $4 a donut but a little cheaper if you buy buy 4 at a time ( you will want 4)! They have many choices and all are great. This was my second trip to Outcast. The staff was very attentive (to be fair I was the only one in line) but they were very friendly and helpful. The shop is very colorful and energetic.

    First off, this is not your regular donut shop, this is a cronut which for my family and I enjoyed very much, we have had cronuts before and weren't a fan of as it's dry. They did an amazing job making them fun and delicious! Super friendly staff, very helpful and patient with us as we were all over the menu trying not to order everything. Definitely get breakfast sandwich to go with a cronut to enjoy as dessert and definitely get a latte to enjoy it with, their coffee is really good, you can taste the espresso and not just syrup and milk. Definitely will be our to go special treat!

    Hands down the best donuts in the valley. I've tried all the big names out there, and I don't think anyone comes close. Highly recommend!

    Hands Down, the BEST Donut Spot in the Valley! I don't say this lightly--this donut shop absolutely crushes the competition. Whether you're into the classics or the crazy, over-the-top creations, they've got it all dialed in. If you're in the Valley and not stopping here, you're seriously missing out. 10/10. Would eat again (and again... and again).

    Great atmosphere. Cool vibes and out of this world donuts can't miss with the mimosa donut flight

    Outcast doughnuts is such a fun place to spend time, whether it's with the family, or some girl friends. We had a great time picking out of all of the awesome doughnut options and loved all of them! The mimosa flight and mini doughnuts were fabulous and I can't get over how great the coffee was! Chelsea was so helpful and I've been back twice since! Check out my photos, everything is DELICIOUS! Can't wait to go back to try the rest of the breakfast sandwiches!

    Doughnuts are definitely a difference here - more abnormal variety with ability to challenge your taste buds in a good way . Brother and i came late in the day and doughnuts definitely have been sitting - tasted fine but not as fresh ? The half dozen is 8 doughbuts for them so just fyi . Very friendly staff, and patient .came here to check it out after we ordered some Gus' Chicken down the street . Laid back atmosphere and they seemed to have lot to offer but we only did doughnuts .

    We went here since it was right in front of Mesa's NYE event that we were hanging out at. The place is spacious with seats inside and some tables outside. Outcast doughnuts sells fancy layered donuts with fun names at gourmet prices, so if you are looking for simple, look elsewhere. They also sell coffee, cones, cocktails, and breakfast sandwiches but didn't try any. Unfortunately it was slim pickings when we got in line around 11am. With a lot of people coming in and out from the event I wasn't surprised. We were not greeted when we walked in and the girl who took our order wasn't very friendly and you could tell didn't want to be there. We managed to find a table table inside for 3 adults and 6 kids. We ordered the Birthday Cake and Most Dope. The birthday cake was dry and the Most Dope was a bit oily so after a few bites, my kids and I lost interest. My friends said theirs was oily too. Also kind of small for almost $4. Honestly I was going to give this place a 2 but bumped my rating to 3 stars since it was so busy and they prob weren't prepared for the crowd. And bc I'm nice and it's my first review for 2025 :) But I wouldn't go back...

    Ask the Community - Outcast Doughnuts

    Are the "doughnuts" used as bread for the bfast or lunch sandwiches sweet? I'm trying to understand how a Reuben works on a doughnut etc.?

    It's a croissant based donut...I didn't find the actual donut sweet and just the glaze and filling which to me made it balanced. I haven't tried the sandwiches yet but they sound amazing.

    Love this place! Went here on a whim because I needed someplace relaxing to study, and this place…read morewas exactly that. The staff were super friendly and welcoming, and the service was quick. Now, onto my order- a bagel and iced tea. The iced tea was great, no comments, and the bagel was absolutely delicious! You can tell they make it here. I was also pleasantly surprised to see that this place is also a grocery store of sorts, with really good prices. They also have board games, so if you're coming with friends, you won't be bored. I will be coming here again. A very lovely experience!

    4/6/26 First visit…read more Parking 5/5 Arrived ~ 10 am this morning after Court. At this time Friday there was plenty of street parking in front of or nearby. There is also a nice parking garage accessible via the alleyway between buildings under the apartments (see photo). Atmosphere 5/5 This is a One-off small business cute cafe rating. There is season appropriate seating curbside in front on Main Street. Today we enjoyed our takeout dessert in front it was such a neat overcast day. On the inside there are item for sale on small wall shelves in the dining room and freezer refrigerators giving it a small town vibe. There are approximately 6-8 tables for eat in service. As the summer temperatures arrive these tables will become even more in demand. This is a quaint Gluten Free eatery with a nice selection offered in menu. Service 5/5 This is a take menu to table, decided then return to counter to order. Orders are delivered to your table. Helping us today was Paula. She was the ambassador to the restaurant who welcomed us immediately. She asked if we've been in before and once we responded no, she thoughtfully walked us through everything including the Gluten Free information. Food 5/5 Both of us were hungry for breakfast and we were ready for this new experience. Coffee was severed in large and individually unique cups. Coffee was nice. 4-Eats we ordered for inside service; a powdered sugar Waffle and I ordered their biscuits and sausage gravy. Sides were two eggs over easy and two sausage patties for additional protein. Desert were two oatmeal cookie pies the we enjoyed curbside in front. Our breakfast choices were fantastic. For mine I ordered too much because the sausage in the gravy would have been sufficient due to their generous serving size. I will order the same thing less the two Patties. Desert 5/5 Our picks were delicious and will require another extra 30 minutes in the gym! $67.90 includes generous tip for excellent service! If you're in the Downtown Mesa area put "Against the Grain" on your list of places to eat. Eat well my friends-SYOY!

The breading was sopping wet and made eating it so unpleasant. The worst part was I paid 18$ for it, with a side of chips(fries would have been more). I was very disappointed. Their whole menu is honestly overpriced. Kind of disappointing what's become of this place. Edit: wasn't sure how to reply to the owner's comment, but I did eat it there, and the very first bite the sandwich fell apart. Honestly, I couldn't taste the fish at all, the flavor from the oil overwhelmed everything else. And you're right I have no problem paying more for quality, but at least for this sandwich it wasn't there.

Upon entering he asked if I was there for the pickup and I advised I wanted to place an order for to go. He was kind enough to take my order and direct me to their menu. I opted for a gyro sandwich thinking it would be a simple request. He not only took my order, but went to back to gather the ingredients to prepare on the grill. Once he compiled my order he even gave me an unexpected bonus (extra bread that was freshly heated up). The sandwich was amazing. Whatever the veggie combo is and dressing along with the ample, well seasoned gyro meat is...awesome. You won't go away hungry, I'm fact, I only ate 1/2, and saved the other for lunch the next day. It's a small to med size business and clean counter area. I would highly recommend this place, I know I will be back for more!

I get there's a labor shortage, but there was one person behind the counter who was new and seemed to be the only person there. She was so new that she couldn't answer questions about the menu items. She was also left to do all of the cooking by herself. We were the only two people in the restaurant, and it took 30 minutes to get food that wasn't good. The meat was dry, and the fried cauliflower was soggy and seemed old. The online menu indicated choices for the plates, but we weren't asked about choices of salad or rice. In fact, the online menu was more informative than anything they had in store. Speaking of the menu...as you can see in the photo for this Yelp page, the prices on the displayed menu were covered up. With inflation, I'm sure they had to raise prices, but at least put the new ones up. We asked for a menu with prices, but the person had to search for one, explaining again that she was new. I initially gave this restaurant two stars because we did eventually get food that was passably edible, but then, I remembered the prices. My passably edible shwarma combo was $15.
