This was our second visit here and the cookie dough is delicious. We ordered the Oreo and Birthday Cake flavors. The Birthday Cake was our favorite - it was rich and flavorful. The Oreo was good, but surprisingly didn't taste very much like Oreo.

Such a fun idea and very yummy. You can definitely overdo it if you're not careful, and that's coming from a sweet tooth!! Would go!! We stepped outside and ate at the bench while watching otters. So cute!

The location is absolutely gorgeous, but I can't recommend this place. The cookie dough was gummy and very sweet, and the staff was cold and didn't greet or thank me which I know isnt a big deal, but it just felt weird. I would probably try it again, but my expectations are low.

What an adorable little shop! We walked in because something smelled really good - it was a little cookie dough shop! They have edible cookie dough and ice cream. A variety of flavors, they also have cooked cookies too. Right by the water, it was a cute little place. I got birthday cake cookie dough and rainbow sherbet, soooooo good! Everyone should go check out this place!

I had a great time at Dough Creations. The ice cream was tasty - we tried vanilla, strawberry, and cookies and cream. It's a perfect choice for a hot day!

5 stars for this lovely little dessert shop serving cookie dough and Icecream. The lady behind the counter was super nice and even packed the cookie dough nicely for my 4 hour drive. I got the Rocky Road cookie dough with the Janice Almond Icecream (in a cone) and it was the best combination ever. Birthday Cake and Classic Chocolate chip for home. The dough traveled well.

Almost walked right past this place because we usually stop at Crills to grab a cinnamon roll, but they were closed. I just happened to look up and see the sign for the dough connection, and we all decided to give it a try. The first thing you should know is that they are located in the far back corner of a main hall that you can easily miss. So now that you have found them, you now can enjoy great ice cream, cookies, other desserts, ready to eat cookie dough, and more. My kids all got a scoop of ice cream which they all said was some of the best they have had and my wife got a scoop of cookie dough and ice cream together which she said was a really nice combination. I'm pleased to have found the dough connection and hope they are here to stay.

Cookie dough you can eat!! There are no eggs in the cookie dough. The staff was so helpful and friendly. They explained to us what the dough was and how they serve it. They let us sample flavors. They sell cookie dough cups, you can mix it with ice cream and they also sell cookie dough paired up with baked brownies. Such a unique dessert and soo good. I ended up getting the brownie cherry dough with a scoop of strawberry ice cream. We got 2 cups and it came out to $10 which I felt was very reasonable. Definitely will have to come back next visit.

Original Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough and Cake Batter Cookie Dough with Brownie crumbled on top. Yummy!!

On our first visit to Morrow Bay the Dough Connection caught our eye from the street as we parked. My boyfriend and I are both avid cookie dough lovers and instantly knew we had to try it. We were greeted immediately by the owner April as we walked in. She was so incredibly sweet and welcoming and made the experience even better. She let us sample the cookie dough flavors and explained all about the other goodies they had. To our surprise she said they just opened the prior week (new location) and we are so glad they did! Definitely recommend this awesome sweet spot to anyone who is in the area

So I did the Elite Perk at the Dough Connection pick up at Liquid Gravity Brewing. It was a Bomb. They had lots of great looking stuff. The dough pie I got was Stupendous. Can't wait for their Moro Bay location to open. See you their

Assistance+ Balance+…read moreCleanliness+ Deliciousness+ Environment+ Suns and Buns has been a family owned establishment since before I was born. They've always CONSISTENTLY been amazing. Whether you're here for a pastry, a sweet treat, a healthy dog treat, a coffee, or anything else, they've always treated everyone like family. No one is just a customer. I will always cherish my memories of the first cinnamon crisp when I was barely old enough to walk. All these years later, they still impress me with fresh baked goods and the best ice cream! If you find yourself in Morro Bay, you owe to yourself to stop in, say hi, and try the espresso chip icecream.

I've been here before, back when the older woman--who I assume is the owner--was working. She was…read morefantastic. She treated my family wonderfully and took the time to explain all the treats, which made the experience genuinely enjoyable. This time, however, things were different. When I came back, there was a very short 4 ft man wearing a hairnet and another woman behind the counter. The woman glanced at me and immediately turned away, while the man gave me a hollow, thousand-yard Gen Z stare. To make matters worse, they didn't heat up my scrumptious snuggle treat--it was served cold. If those two hadn't been more focused on flirting with each other, this visit might have been a good experience too.

So I went into the Smoothies place to check it out, oh and write a review as I wait. Cozy as it gets with the friendly staff, actually looked like they enjoy the job and human interactions. I asked for a Mango something smoothie but no pineapple, be creative. The place has a good variety of drinks and edibles, sandwiches, salads, avocado toast, and on and on. If you don't see it they would probably make it for you. Now granted I was the only order being made at this moment and my smoothie was delivered to me as I sat at the bistro table out front. I was surprised how flavorful the smoothie was, I don't know why I thought that but it did taste good, a bit pricy. I'm good with pricy and this was backed up with quality ingredients and stellar service. Ah...yes and supporting local business is good for everyone Thanks, I'll see you again! Foodguy-Martin

Sorry to say this place is as many have said, a tourist trap. The halibut batter lacked seasoning it was practically tasteless. It's freshly fried however. Fries upgrade helped the fries only. The entire basket didn't taste much like anything and the tartar didn't help. The clam chowder was very salty. And I mean, very. It barely had clams in it and didn't taste rich and mostly had big cubes of potato. It was disappointing. The lines can get very long very fast. They have a good spot with greats views or Morro Rock. Parking is free everywhere to my knowledge.

If you enjoy fried, flavorful food and generous portions, this is definitely your kind of place…read more The setting is casual with both indoor and outdoor seating, and the service was fast and efficient. I ordered the calamari tacos, and the portion was huge. The plate came loaded -- tacos with melted cheese, a fresh salad, and a side of unique "spaghetti-style" fries. The calamari itself was lightly breaded and very tasty, and I really enjoyed the salad (super fresh and flavorful). The fries weren't my favorite, though, and overall the portion was so big that I ended up leaving quite a bit -- which felt a bit wasteful. My husband had the Alaskan cod tacos, and I actually loved that they were not breaded -- that's my personal preference. The fish tasted fresh, light, and really well prepared. Our daughter ordered the kids chicken taco, and honestly, it was excellent -- loaded with chicken, very flavorful, and clearly made fresh. We also tried the tres leches cake. The slice was large but for me it was a bit too sweet, especially with the caramel on top and the thick whipped cream layer. I know there are many variations of tres leches, and this one just wasn't my favorite. We also had a crab cake -- fried on the outside, soft and delicious inside. Overall, a solid spot with big portions, fast service, and lots of flavor. Just come hungry!

Every once and again a Fosters will appear on our radar and be the perfect solution to a hungry question. Instantly we can recall the first time we saw a Fosters employee take a soft serve vanilla cone, turn in upside down and plunge it in to a vat of melted chocolate before presenting you with your first "chocolate dipped cone". Magic! We now see another sort of magic happening as these long held traditional burger joints start fading away. Each Fosters tries to bring its own personality into the mix and it can turn into something special, as it has with this Morro Bay location. We arrived, parked at the curb outside and immediately noticed the sidewalk chalk art. Arrows individually drawn with Fosters treats and playful characters in bright colors, directing customers to the order window and a hopscotch for playing whilst you await your treats! The dining room also looks newer compared to other Fosters we've seen, and its cleanliness was very inviting. Hubs ordered 2 hot dogs and a small Pepsi. Simple. $11.77 TL. While, that made the small(aka baby sized 6oz, maybe?) Pepsi a whopping $3, it was a cheap, simple and delicious enough meal for him to be satisfied. In Morro Bay, along the Embarcadero, we later noticed a walk up window charging $7 for a single hot dog. While eating, we noticed a dad & daughter sit down with their food. Shortly after, she knocked over her Dr. Pepper. Dad jumped to ask for paper towels to clean, but staff came out promptly, cleaned it up and replaced her drink. Noice! Note: no refills on sodas is offered, but that's no reason to punish a kid that already feels bad. Well done, staff! Everyone worked fast and efficiently and the place had personality! Lots of options for eats and treats if you enjoy convenience foods. Even some swag to purchase I understand that are well known for their burgers and fries but, thanks to another Yelper's photo, I juuust may come back and try their limited time offering of Triple Berry Cheesecake Twister. There may not be one single real berry in the dessert, but all that delicious sugar sure looks tempting! LOL Cheers! "CC"

I purchased the pain au levain, in lieu of a baguette, for $12. The price is pretty steep for a loaf, but seems to be the going rate for these smaller boutique bake shops. The bread itself was warm when I purchased it, which was awesome. Enjoyed it with my coffee, but did find it to be a little doughy on the inside. Good flavor, but not something I would come back for. I'd rate it a solid 3.5. I also purchased the chocolate chip cookies. I think I completely went brain dead when I bought these, because I did read they were gluten-free and vegan, but still bought the pack of 6. Man, they looked like chocolate chip cookies, but didn't taste like chocolate to me, at all. For a regular chocolate chip cookie lover, it's a 1 star.
