    Two large coffees, part of a blueberry donut, part of the coffee cake donut, and regular raised glazed donut

    DH came here to pick up a few donuts and coffee for us. There is a back parking lot with more spaces. He said this place definitely had a diner vibe. It is not bougie. This is where the regular people get their breakfast items. It took a while to get the order filled, as one worker was occupied making bagel sandwiches. DH wished there were labels on the donuts. Employees were nice and friendly. The blueberry donut was the best one of the bunch. It is not available every day, but it is a "special" quite often. Popular too, as they were nearly sold out around 8 AM. Very delicate texture, packed with blueberry flavor, topped with glaze, it was the crowd favorite. Ohhhhh...we wished we got more! The plain glazed was a good size, super soft and fluffy, without any stale oil aftertaste. Excellent! The coffee cake donut was good, packed with strong cinnamon flavor, perfect with their coffee. Coffee is strong and hearty. Nothin' fancy, but had enough caffeine to keep us goin' all morning long. Pretty good deal for 3 donuts and 2 large coffees for less $10. Next time, we will get more blueberry donuts and maybe try the bagel sandwiches!

    Donuts are good and I can see the authenticity being open since 1950, but the service was not good!! Lady was rude about us asking questions about the menu and scoffed when we decided to add more donuts to our order... but like isn't that what we came for?! She also charged us wrong too and was just rude. Made the experience subpar.

    I've heard rave reviews about reds donuts and had to try for myself. I went with the classic glazed donut. It was delicious! It tasted fresh and had the perfect amount of flaking/cracking. My husband got the glazed old fashion- another classic. Prices were very reasonable and service was quick and friendly. There is a cute "diner" vibe on the side of the donut counter that I'm assuming has a different menu? Overall, I'd love to come back and recommend to anyone in the area.

    Excellent donuts! The cinamon rolls and apple fritters are some of my favorites. The donuts are always fresh and are good priced.

    Open bright and early. Good, fast, and friendly service. Best donuts in the Monterey area, and a nice cozy environment!

    First time I stopped by was in August 2024 to bring my bb…read moregirl to the Monterey Bay Aquarium. I was craving boba & was happy to find something in this area particularly on my way to the hotel. I mean home made boba with quality ingredients? Say lesss... I loved it so much I came back a second time before heading home that trip AND came back a third time this year with my extended family cus I knew it would hit the spot. Honestly, you cannot go wrong with any drink. You can customize the sweetness level and pick from a variety of flavors. I did the giant lemonade for the aunties in the car and it was GIANT lol, it was enough for all 3 of them and my daughter to share. I was honestly surprised to read a few negative reviews because WHAT? The first time I ordered some egg rolls I mentioned to the staff that I think it might have been a bad batch because my daughter and I thought it tasted spoiled maybe? And she immediately addressed the situation and apologized and was truly worried. She told me I got you, the next time I come back but I told her I was from the Bay and she mentioned they moved from the 209. She also ensured us that they make it fresh in house and surprised me and gave me a FRESH new order even though I initially declined. This is a family owned business and they let me feel like family too. I tried the pandan cake on my second trip on the way home and ughhh sooo good. I wasn't gonna do it but I heard another customer come in saying she comes in just for that and I knew I had to try it. It has the perfect sweetness, a little dense but still soft and fluffy. The icing wasn't overly sweet. I'd take a whole cake for my birthday lol. I think I also read another review talking about the donuts being raw? Idk, but it sounds like this person has never had a MOCHI donut lol. Anyways, can't wait to come back for more drinks, more snacks, and that cake!

    This is likely my third or fourth review of the same location which is a bit unusual for me. I…read morerecently heard they were serving Fish N Chips, and as I am forever on the hunt for the best fare of this persuasion I just had to try the newest offering at Cong N Go. I actually was not that hungry but after discussion of the dish with the owners I just had to sample it right then. I ordered it to go but not even kidding I almost ate all three pieces it was that good. Oh my goodness, hands down some of the very best Fish N Chips I ever ate. Nice plateful with three good size pieces. The batter is flavorful with just the right amount of crunch. The vinegrette sauce with aioli mayo and a mix of spices makes the fishes flavors blend very nicely. Cambodian crunchy slaw is a very tasty pairing. Maybe just a tad on the salty side but otherwise perfect. A good helping of narrow fries as well. Definitely enough food to be shareable if you are able to or even want to. I will be looking forward to returning for the light flavorful Alaskan cod at Cong N Go as long as they continue to serve it. Thanks so much for an excellent and very enjoyable afternoon meal. The food here overall is amazing and all of you looking for a change of pace have to stop by and sample the menu.
