    Donuts
    Candace C.

    Long line but moves quickly, they have indoor seating and coffee and matcha options. The shop is cute and there are gluten free options too. Located in downtown Carlsbad with street parking.

    There was a long line to order but it moved fairly quickly. They have a great looking selection of donuts and I would like to go back to try them. I ordered a mocha (iced). Service was very friendly. Small wait for the drink to be ready. They have indoor and outdoor seating.

    Everytime I go to the farmers market in Carlsbad I have to stop by The Goods for my donuts and coffee. They are excellent and great quality, flavor and freshness. It is very pleasant to be there with the flowers and nice people who are not attached to the phones but just enjoying good conversations. You can also get some nice cards and merch for last minute gifts. I likw the color palette of the coffee shop and the comfortable green seating area as well as the tables. All is clean and I like the bathroom floor, check it out, made with coins!

    Definitely deserving of the name! This place has The Goods!!! The donuts were delicious and still warm. Tried the seasonal lemon berry. The inside lemon filling was tart and sweet. And the berry topping was divine! The apple fritter was perfectly cooked with sweet chunky apple filling. Only warning is it's very sweet - as a donut should be. Almost ordered another but glad we didn't as 1.5 sweet treats was perfect - filling and sugary. The staff was friendly and helpful. Was pleasant to sit inside and enjoy the sweet treats. Was a nice flow of customers, never busy or noisy. Highly recommend for those with a sweet tooth!

    North County Donut Tour - Stop 1: As someone who lives in SD proper, I almost never have a reason to go far, far away up to N County. But I've had my eye on some donut shops up there for a while so decided "will travel for donuts," and visited the farthest one away first. The Goods has a unique selection of flavors and many overall options. The key lime pie filled donut caught my eye since I rarely see this flavor, and am a sucker for a meringue topping. Got the passionfruit guava per employee recommendation and the brown butter sea salt. The toasted meringue on the key lime pie donut was scrumptious and I enjoyed the tartness of the curd filling. However it definitely tasted like quality lemon curd, not key lime. The guava passionfruit was a miss because there was so little filling and I didn't taste any assertive passionfruit note. I did like the cream cheese fruity frosting on top but there was just too much plain doughnut left over so this one didn't deliver for me. But the overall winner was definitely the much humbler looking brown butter sea salt. The crumb was extra moist, and the flavor notes were harmonious.

    The farmer's market is just outside the entrance but the noise is not obtrusive.

    Whenever we travel to Carlsbad, we spend Wednesday afternoon at the Farmers' Market in Carlsbad Village. On our second lap of the booths, we visit The Goods for coffee and a doughnut and a short rest at one of their tables. The waitstaff is helpful, pleasant, and attentive even though they are very busy with customers and restocking doughnuts. One goes to the counter for order, payment, and pickup as in many coffee shops. It just feels local and we enjoyed the nostalgia and the respite. It is easy to find but on Wednesdays you will likely have to park two blocks away.

    Such a fun addition to Carlsbad Village! The shop is adorable, the donuts are creative and beautifully made, and everything felt fresh. Cute atmosphere, staff was fine, they remade my coffee for me which was nice. It's a tiny bit precious but I've had wayyyyy worse. I recommend as a perfect place to grab a treat for a gift. We will definitely be back to try more flavors!

    Bottom left clockwise: apple fritter, cruller, chocolate eclair thingy , berry, maple bacon and the one filled with a Nutella foam/creme.

    Nice people, very clean, good donuts. We selected 6 donuts and 3 out of the six were bangers. For the most part the donuts were light and airy. The bangers were the chocolate eclair type one, the Nutella foam filled and maple bacon donuts. $32 for 6 donuts makes a me a bit picky, but I probably wouldn't get the French cruller or seasonal berry donuts again. I definitely wouldn't get the apple fritter a second time.

    Matcha Latte - oat milk sub (+ $0.50), add vanilla (+ $1.00)
    Angelica L.

    GLAZE AND GRIND (some words of wisdom on their wall) The Goods was very cutesy and vibrant, the type of coffee shop/donut place that fits in with the carlsbad boutiques! they had a variety of donuts (even gluten free, vegan ones!). I went in to get a fun drink. I ordered an oat milk matcha latte with vanilla, and when i asked for it to be a little sweeter, the staff accommodated. there are tables inside and outside, making it a fun place to lounge. i will def being coming back!

    Apple Fritter
    Zaid D.

    I am a die hard SideCar fan, so I had high expectations coming in...especially with the reviews. The Goods is waking distance from the massage spa we come down to Carlsbad for. I dropped my wife off and decided to take a quick 5 minute stroll with my toddler to donut shop. I was impressed with the variety of donuts and type of donuts they offered. We decided to go with what seemed to be their largest donut (at least from my POV), a good ol Apple Fritter ($6). It was nice and warm when they handed us the fritter. I was again impressed by the size of it. It was well worth the price. Plenty of seating both inside and outside. I kept seeing people constantly coming in and out, and not only for their donuts but for some coffee as well. I plan on venturing out next time and trying one of their other flavorful donuts.

    Delicious. Kind service. Fun Art Deco kind of vibe. A must try at least once. Highly recommend the jalapeño croissant and anything seasonal. Not cheap, but a fun one time experience or treat.

    Ask the Community - The Goods

    Do they have a creme brûlée donut?

    I have not seen that one, but they're website does list what they usually have. They might switch out flavors but not totally sure when.

    Do you have Vegan donuts?

    Yes, they did offer at least one Vegan option during our visit.

    I see there are gluten-free donuts but are there donuts that are gluten-free and dairy-free? Or is it just one or the other?

    They have both! Like 4-5 GF options and maybe 1-2 GF/vegan

    Do they do online orders?

    My wife searched for an online order system and didn't find one. However, you can pre-order a pickup by phone. It's the best way to beat those weekend lines if you want more than a doughnut or two.

    Does this business sell the donuts as a dozen?

    Yes; what's on hand, or, the secret: Order your special flavor(s) ahead of time by phone & avoid the lines!

    Do they offer low carb donut?

    Not that I saw. They have gluten free and vegan, but low carb is a tough one! There would be a lot of money for someone who invented a good tasting low carb donut :-)

    Hello, Do you accept credit cards?

    Yes they do.

    Do they have gluten free daily?

    yes they do:))

    Do you have vegan donuts daily?

    Hello Melissa, yes we do daily until sold out. However if you do call ahead early enough we can either hold some for a short period time or calling in advance you can get a special order…

    Call and order them they make them fresh each day

    Great! How can I find your menu?

    It's a donut shop so you chose from whatever is ready behind the glass. Not all options are available at all times, since they run out.… 

    Hi, Do you take orders ahead of time?

    Katrina We do! If called in ahead of time we’ve done up to 30 dozen… 

    Hi! I love your donuts, I have a friend who is gluten and dairy free, are there any donuts that she can eat? Or can we make a special order perhaps?

    Hi Jenny, At the moment we have gluten free on Tuesdays and Thursdays and vegan Wednesdays and Saturdays we are working to get vegan every day,… 

    Hi! Do you have any vegan donuts?? <3

    Hi Heather, Saturdays & Wednesdays Thanks for asking & please feel free to call ahead to confirm…

On nice days, we enjoy taking our donuts outside to eat, and it's become a fun little tradition for our family. Even our toddler looks forward to our donut stop here every time we're in town! The quality, freshness, and friendly service keep us coming back again and again. If you're in Encinitas and craving a great donut, this place is definitely worth a visit. Highly recommend!

If you walk past The Melt, which is right down the street from Sidecar, there are plenty of shopping options, grocery stores, and other places to explore. I've always been around this plaza and have wanted to try Sidecar, but unfortunately my experience wasn't the best. The staff wasn't the friendliest, and I felt like you had to know exactly what you wanted right away. It was also a little confusing figuring out where the line started because there were so many people gathered around the donut display, and there wasn't really a clear line. They do have samples available, but it's somewhat hidden on the far left side near the kitchen counter. I'm not sure why they don't have it more visible for guests, but I was able to try their blueberry donut, which I thought was really good. The texture was amazing and the donut itself was super soft, but I did feel like it was a little too sweet with the amount of sugar and icing. Overall, I think the donuts are good, but I'm not sure I would come back. At around $5 to $6 per donut, it's definitely on the pricier side. It's a nice treat if you're already in the area and want to stop by, but I would hope that my next experience would be better with the staff and that the layout of the shop would feel a little more organized.

    "Boy what you looking for? You know where them cookies are…read moreYeah, I caught yo' ass red-handed in that cookie jar" (Doja Cat) It's a tough call to decide what was better. The incredibly sweet woman behind the counter who helped us with a dessert order for a family dinner for twelve, the sheer beauty and variety of the baked goods in her store, or the 20 amazing cookies we ended up buying. The Carlsbad Bakery has been around for 40+ years specializing in Danish and French pastries, quiche, cupcakes, cakes, and too many eye-popping things to list. We walked over on a Friday and after talking to the proprietor decided that a variety of cookies would be the way to go. What wasn't easy was deciding what type of cookie, because their big chocolate chip, pistachio, almond, cherry, and peanut butter cookies all looked beyond amazing. We decided on a box of 20 mixed cookies ($52.90) and returned the next day to pick them up. My Sweet Lord, the box was as heavy as a bowling ball and was warm with freshly baked cookies. The intoxicating aroma penetrated the carton and filled our hotel room. When they were served at dinner, people's eyes popped out of their heads because they were so gorgeous. I managed to restrain myself and limited my dessert to one pistachio cookie that was fantastic. Of course, all of my cousins wanted to know where we found these amazing cookies. Thank you, Carlsbad Bakery, for such a fantastic customer experience. Your store is beautiful, and your product is extraordinary.
