    Ice cream and dough flavors
    Carlie B.

    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

Theres also a really good restaurant there, Frankies n' Lolas. See my review. Anyways I'm waiting to pick up a ride, she bumped me to a later pick up time, twice...err. 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

They are so sweet! We visited Morro Bay for the first time and I was so pleased with the food, we went back 3 more times!!! Everything is super fresh and the flavors were great! Coffee was delicious!! I highly recommend and I will tell you, now we have a regular place to go when we visit because WE WILL BE BACK!! We had the breakfast croissant sandwiches, the lattes, the fresh homemade soups (wow) with the fresh baguette!! So delicious! I literally took a dozen little red velvet cake pops and little cakes home with me... just delicious!! It gets packed in there but the service is great and well worth it!

We were lucky enough to snag the last almond croissant, and what a treat it was. The exterior had a sweet, delicate crunch, and with each bite, rich almond filling oozed out for the perfect balance of texture and flavor. It wasn't overloaded with powdered sugar, and the sweetness was just right--indulgent without being overwhelming. I also tried a slice of the salmon and leek quiche. It was light and fluffy while still feeling substantial and satisfying. The combination of savory salmon and sweet leek worked beautifully together. Whether you're starting your morning or looking for a midday pick-me-up, the quiche is a must-try. I was excited to try the house made mango-infused black iced tea, but unfortunately, there was nothing mango flavored about it That said, this bakery is still well worth a visit. Between the pastries and quiche, it is an easy stop to recommend when you're in Morro Bay.

    Came in on the weekend and barely missed the growing line. Cute little house store-front and small…read moreshop inside. Tables and seating outside if you wanted to enjoy your baked goods there. 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. For someone looking for a gluten-free and vegan cookie, this could be a winner. Maybe.

    Hello! You had me at absolutely charming!…read more First of all, I've never been to Morro Bay and it was probably the only torrential rainy day in a Century. Being from Seattle, I'm nothing but used to the rain. But this little visit to the bakery warmed my heart. As we drove to the bakery we stopped at Morro Rock, , so I could actually see the amazing 23 million year old monolith. So fun to see the surfers out there! As we started driving into a neighborhood to get to the basket, I was like, "What? Am I going to Gramma's house?" And then, we pull into the freaking cutest little beach house with a garden that made the bleakest day make you feel like sunshine and rainbows. Upon entry, the baked spices and smells blow your olfactories! Yummm! We felt the young lady was very overwhelmed with all the baking!! And maybe our dumbfoundedness was overwhelming. Or maybe I was overwhelmed with so many amazing options and goodies!! She had just pulled something out of the oven. We ordered lemon curd and raspberry tarts, brownies, curry croissants, ham and cheese croissant, french onion soup croissant and some other cookie that someone snuck in on the sly. Sadly, there was no seating there, so we had to take everything to go. Luckily we were only 10 min away. Everything was epically delicious. Especially the flaky curry croissants!!!! They really know how to do it!!! If we had more time we would try their bread. I can't imagine what this place is like when it's peak season but it must be crazy! It is a must visit!!!

    A seafood shop by the Morro Bay seaside…read more Fish & Chips 5-piece: Unlike British fish and chips, the batter is only a thin layer, and it's not fried as hot, so you can really taste the tender fish - very satisfying. Oysters on the 1/2 Shell: The oysters were fresh but rather small, nothing special on their own. However, the cocktail sauce was a perfect balance of sour, sweet, and spicy, so I kept dipping the chips in it... Eating fish and chips while enjoying the sea view and listening to a blues band playing - if you're not in a rush, it's truly a delightful experience.

Live music compliments from a man with his guitar on a sunny sunsetting Friday afternoon and since they are dockside, you get to see the fishermen at work close by and it really provides the environment of a seaside town without it being overpriced and pretentious. We originally ordered a set of 4 grilled oysters, clam chowder, and as recommended by the cashier, a couple of the smoked shrimp tacos. The oysters were grilled to perfection with butter and garlic. Not dry at all and still juicy. The oysters were well shucked (no pieces of the shell ended up on the oyster) and it was already detached for easy eating. The smoked shrimp tacos were a great recommendation. I think the seasoning wasn't too complicated; salt, pepper, and a paprika to really let the shrimp do most of the talking. As for the clam chowder, I think it was okay. Came there only for the oysters anyways. As mentioned, we initially got a set of 4 grilled oysters but they were so good that we ended up coming back 30 minutes later to get 6 more after getting our last few pictures of the sunset next to Morro Rock. As for service, this is a take-out only joint, so besides the cashier taking your order, the bussers making sure the outside tables are clean to keep the seabirds away, and you picking up your own order, there is nothing more than that. Will be dreaming about those grilled oysters until we come back.
