    Vietnamese Coffee
    Sambat C.

    I could make a better vietnamese coffee in the dining halls. The coffee is pre-made, and isn't strong like viet coffee from authentic spots.

    Bagel Breakfast Sandwich

    Grabbed some breakfast for my friends and I during the hectic moveout season. We got the bagel sandwich and croissant sandwich, both of which were amazing! The portion size was great- one sandwich filled me up for several hours. A hidden gem for breakfast sandwiches at a low price! Bagel sandwich was my favorite- we got the jalapeño bagel willed with egg, sausage, cheese, and bacon bits. I believe the croissant sandwich had the same fillings. Will come back!

    Cinnamon Twist

    A lot of people really like Spudnuts, but this is the second time I have visited and the second time the donut tastes dry. I can't tell if its because I went in the afternoon (2 PM) or if the donut is just naturally dry from the potato base. Besides the dryness, the cinnamon twist has good flavor though.

    The right number of donuts for 2.

    Spudnuts are pretty frickin good donuts. We got a delivery of... too many donuts as part of our quarantine grocery selection. I am thrilled this is an essential business :D I love the potato flour - makes for a fine fluffy donut with a nice little chew to it. The really amazing donuts here are the cinnamon doughssants - the same concept as a cronut. The raised donuts and apple fritters are absolutely to die for as well. In the past I've bought donuts and coffee here for events at work, which works okay. 4 stars not 5 because I've had some world-class donuts in my life and these just don't compete. But they might be the best in town.

    I used to cringe at the idea of going to Isla Vista for anything but once I put my biases aside I really really started to enjoy the shops here. Spud nuts in IV is better than the Hollister location! Why? More likely to have something you want. For me, that is jelly-filled. I cannot function without the jelly-filled. I live for the jelly-filled. It's usually on point. I wouldn't say the doughnuts are going to blow you away or anything but this is Goleta/IV/SantaBarbara good.

    Solid donut shop. I ordered the donut holes and they were pretty good, and what you would expect. The cream cheese in the bagel was also delicious.

    Someone ate one before I could shoot a photo. $12.99 for an assorted dozen!

    I've got no problems with Spudnuts -- I tend to stop by to pick up a box for work, or a meeting, and their donuts are generally on point. The price point is average once you factor in what donuts normally cost and how much it costs to have a shop in I.V. A dozen assorted donuts (meaning that you can pick anything off of the bottom three shelves) costs $12.99, which isn't a bad deal. This includes things like the classic sugar twist, maple glazed, and even a cake donut with the iconic pink frosting and sprinkles found on the Simpsons. If you want one of their specialty donuts/pastries, such as their cronut knockoff or my personal favorite, the cinnamon bun, you'll have to pay extra. The donut holes are roughly $2.50 for a dozen, and they're kinda dry and unevenly glazed, so I recommend skipping them. If you're a smoothie or boba enthusiast, they do sell theirs cheaper than Ice Milk Company/Fire & Ice down the road, and at roughly the same price as Wake Cup. All drinks are made with powder. There's a fee for credit card use, no minimum, so bring cash if you want to avoid that.

    Donuts. Some of my housemates are children. Sometimes they get donuts. And guess what? I suddenly want a donut too. So, I drive over into IV (early so I don't have to deal with anyone). I have ordered: Regular glazed donut-$1-dense, but not too dense. I liked it. A "meaty" donut. Red Velvet-$1- smaller size, more cake-like, basically in between a chocolate and regular cake donut, with red food coloring. It was OK. But not the best. Old fashioned-$1- soggy interior, good glaze, but frankly it turned me off. And it was pretty scrawny. Who wants a skinny donut? (not me). Donut holes $0.20/each or $2/dozen- these are pleasant. Good texture and glaze. I would be interested if they had different flavored donut holes. Seriously. They have a fair amount of options. Bar donuts, cake donuts, all the usual Winchells options. But they have croissant-donut/cro-nuts, which are alright too. Not the best, but it's the closest donut shop around... (Besides 7-11 and UCSB apparently)

    I enjoy frequenting this Spudnuts best. For a donut shop, the interior is very nice and polished. It has a nice jade toad statue and a bar. This one also has the greatest variety and amount of donuts compared to the other Spudnuts, in my experience. I called the Fairview location once asking for a particular type, and they said that an employee delivered most all of their donuts to the IV location. I also like the employees at this location best. I am guessing that a Chinese family owns Spudnuts, and I find the family members who work at this one are friendlier. A number of students work here as well.

    Ask the Community - Spudnuts Donuts

    Do you have any gluten free donuts?

    Although their donuts are made of "select Idaho potatoes, specially blended flour, pure vegetable shortening," I believe they do have some flour in them. I would call to make sure.

    The bagels at Yetz's are super delicious and fluffy. My friend from Brooklyn swears by them being…read more"real New York bagels". They are toasted perfectly and come out warm. The cream cheese schmear is delightfully thick and generous. The vibe inside is very cool and there is a good amount of seating on picnic tables both indoor and outdoor. Love the wave cam they have on screen in the corner, really adds to the surfer / skater vibe. Staff seem upbeat and happy, and everything is ready quickly. I don't think I can recommend the make your own if you only want to add 1-2 toppings (it will cost $4-9 more for a very small amount of topping). However it might be worth paying up for the bagel sandwich, they look pretty epic!! Will have to try that next.

    My visit today was a let down. They didn't slice the bagel I took to go even though it was listed…read morein my order. Both bagels were baked too long and were tough. The jalapeño and cheddar had a tough exterior , tasty interior, and an inedible bottom (see attached photo). This was the bagel that they forgot to slice. I also ordered a buttered plain bagel with egg. The egg was nicely cooked though it had the taste of a grill that wasn't cleaned properly. Yetz's bagels are the best quality in the area. I hope that this was just an off day. I am looking forward to the opening of the new Goleta location.
