    three different types of donuts
    tiffany t.

    We were debating between this donut shop and the one on main st in Ojai and we're so glad we came here! Soooooooo delicious! These donuts were the fluffiest, airy donuts I've had in over a year. So glad to find this little donut shop in the Ojai area. We ordered the glazed old fashion, regular glaze, chocolate, and a sugar donut. Every single one was delicious! And so so soft. The proprietor was nice and friendly and service was quick and smooth. We went at 6am on a Saturday morning - fully stocked with fresh donuts. I think they also take card now- we saw a square sticker. Definitely recommend if you're in the area and craving pink box style donuts. Ps. It was for sure the right choice! We drove by the other donut shop on the way back and it wasn't open (it actually looked like it might have gone out of business).

    This place has been a go-to for donuts forever. The staff have been great. Can't wait to go again.

Every single thing they serve is quality. The chef and founder's got a cool story -- you can look up a short doc on YouTube. It's Bermese food mixed with American. The Biryani, Crispy Rice Salad, Potatoes, Breakfast Plate, Granola, Congee, and Spicy Chicken & Waffle are all great. Ask if you can have a side of their chili oil -- I believe it's made in-house and they even sell it to take home. I would've gotten a bottle but they were sold out! Their cafe is also awesome. We got their chocolate chip cookie, croissant, danish (forgot which one), and sourdough and they were all good. Drip coffee is good + their caffeinated black tea (also forgot the name)! Lastly, the customer service was top notch. Your server will check up on you every 10ish mins or so. Always very accommodating and very friendly, too. Best believe we'll be back sooner rather than later! Thanks The Dutchess Crew!

Orders are placed at the register and pastries are given to you right away, and you'll receive a table tent so they can bring your coffee out. The pastries were really good, with a nice variety to choose from. The only thing that would have made them even better is if the savory pastries were heated. The coffee, however, took quite a while to arrive. We had already finished our pastries and our table was cleared before it finally came out. I went back to grab a few more pastries, and while I was away, a gnat flew into my coffee. I brought it back to the register, and they graciously replaced it without any issue. The second cup came out quickly and was noticeably hotter than the first. It seems like Saturdays can get pretty busy, so it might be a better experience to visit during the week if you can. There are several public parking lots nearby, along with street parking

They were also nice to me the last few times as well. Which is probably why I don't mind coming back if I'm in the area. They seem to have some new menu items. Savory and or sweet is always a plus... I've also been able to pick up some good to go orders as well. Which is definitely something good :)

We're actually from San Diego and were just visiting Ventura, and it's a bit of a tradition for our family to try a local donut shop whenever we're in a new town. I also grew up in a donut shop for over 30 years, so I'm very particular when it comes to donuts--and Thompson's absolutely blew us away. The service alone deserves a shoutout--everyone was incredibly kind and welcoming, which just made the whole experience even better. And the donuts? So fresh, soft, and perfectly moist. Every bite was flavorful without being overly sweet, which is honestly hard to find. You can tell they really care about what they're making here. This is exactly the kind of spot you hope to stumble upon when traveling--and then wish you had back home. We'll 100% be back next time we're in Ventura. Highly, highly recommend!

When you walk in you feel welcomed. The vibe is relaxed with wonderful music. All this comes together with the most incredible team. You talk with strangers while sitting on the bench.

    BEST matcha bake shop in Santa Barbara!…read more The line out the door speaks volumes, it's absolutely worth the wait. My friends and I wanted a little pick-me-up on a Sunday afternoon, and I'm so glad we drove 20 minutes out to give this place a try! Not only was the matcha delightful, but they also gifted us a complimentary donut for my bachelorette weekend. It was perfectly sweet, which I loved because I'm not a fan of overly dense or super sweet treats. The service was incredibly kind. Even while dealing with so many customers in one day, they greeted everyone with a smile and such a welcoming attitude. The place is also really clean and well-kept. This spot will definitely be added to my go-to list whenever I'm in Santa Barbara!

What I care about is Donuts. And I'm here to tell you, these are the Best Donuts in Ventura. I've been a customer here for 24 years now. In that time I've sampled donuts from more than a dozen other places around town and I've never found any better than the donuts from KD Donuts. The donuts here are far superior to Rolling Pin. I'll die on that hill. And don't come at me with Krispy Kreme or any other corporate junk, because hell nah. This is a local, family owned and run business.. You can read all about it in my previous review. It's an interesting backstory. As to why I say these are the Best Donuts in Ventura: The benchmark I use for comparing donuts is a white cake donut with chocolate icing, topped with sprinkles. Whenever I hit up a new donut shop, that's the first thing I try. The one they sell here reigns Supreme! Other highly recommended donuts here are the Apple Fritters, the Buttermilk Bars and the Old Fashioned (Chocolate, Glazed or Plain). I like that the donuts here are traditional donuts. The kind you can take a dozen of to work with you and you can be sure everyone will love. None of that $5/donut ridiculousness over here. Most here are $1.75, including Small Apple Fritters and Small Cinnamon Rolls. The large size of the fritters and cinnamon rolls, along with the Blueberry Fritter, Bear Claws and Filled Donuts will set you back $2.75 each. That's fair! So, if you are looking for some really great donuts and love to support a great little local owned business, I highly recommend you hit up KD Donuts! Mikey C says: Best Donuts in Ventura!
