    A little pricey, but "the goods" were worth it. Lol... Definitely a place to get your sweet tooth fix.

    Cinnamon roll & cinnamon sugar cruller
    Amy N.

    Had really high expectations for this place given its glowing reviews & the amount of people in line on a Friday at noon. The bakery itself is very clean & all the pastries look beautiful in the bakery case, but my experience and the food here was overall mediocre. cinnamon roll (4/10): $10. It was massive but even after microwaving it for 30 seconds, it was very dry & lacked the traditional cinnamon flavor. The frosting lacked flavor as well. Cinnamon sugar cruller (3/10): didn't seem very fresh. Not crispy & had a pretty strong oily aftertaste. Service was ok -- wasn't greeted and the girl helping me with my order wasn't very nice. I probably wouldn't go back as there are many better bakeries out there!

    Loved seeing The Goods grow throughout all these years in Carlsbad! Their donuts have always been delicious but I've recently started having more of their gluten free donuts and they truly are amazing. I will go out of my way to try any flavor because they are worth it. Probably the best gluten-free donuts I've ever had. Their regular donuts rock too and so does their coffee bar! Always pretty packed on the weekends but usually you can get lucky enough to find some seating. Nice place to work/study for a few hours during the weekdays too.

    These are the best donuts in Carlsbad and the seasonal specials are always so tasty and creative. There are also a few vegan and gluten free options available as well. I previously worked here and all of the staff were so kind and friendly. The owners are truly wonderful and make this spot such a great hidden gem in downtown Carlsbad. I highly recommend stopping by for a sweet treat!

    So this little cute shop is located in Carlsbad Village. We came on a Saturday morning at around 11am and it was pretty easy to find parking . There was a large lot maybe 1 block away that we parked at and then walked in from there. Inside, there was a line but it moved pretty fast. The donuts on display look so gooddd, we had to try one even though I was originally there for coffee. Person behind the donut area was really nice with great customer service! Cashier was the same! They have a little water stand you can get some water from too which was nice after chowing down on the donut. The donut itself was so good. Right amount of fluffiness and taste and crispiness. I'm still thinking about the donut and how good it was. I will come again one day.

    Mixed berry donut
    Sarah C.

    I've come twice in the past month, they always get me with their seasonal flavors. My favorite year round flavors are the mixed berry and Boston cream pie donuts. I really enjoyed the recent seasonal flavors, bourbon peach and coconut donuts. Years ago they had a seasonal pumpkin donut that was the best donut I ever had, hope to see it back this fall!

    Berry Donut and Iced Coconut Vanilla Lattes
    Tony O.

    Always a great stop in Carlsbad. The staff is genuinely friendly and helpful with providing recommendations when you have trouble deciding. The berry donut was excellent. You can really taste the quality. The café is spotless clean. As a serious coffee drinker, I have to recommend the iced coconut vanilla latte. Consistently hits the spot. Thanks to the Goods!

    Gluten-free maple donut, decaf caramel latte and an americano
    Maria L.

    Cute experience, I liked the variety of pastries offered and tried their gluten free maple donut, it was really tasty, almost like a fluffy buttery cake! Coffees are yummy and the place looks cute and clean. Service is nice and welcoming :) (They don't take long for your order either) If you visit on a Wednesday, you'll also have the Farmers Market right outside!

    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.

    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!

    Vegan donuts

    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.

    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!

    Gluten free donuts.

    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… 

    Hi! I tried contacting through phone but can't get through . Is there a menu up to date that I can access to ? I need to order donuts for Sunday please

    760-994-0458 If you still get no response between 7am-4pm leave a message & someone will get back… 

    What are the hours for this place? I can't find them anywhere!

    Hi R, Tuesday thru Sunday 7am til sold out (2 doz max per person unless ordered ahead)… 

    What time do they open?

    Hello John 7am Tuesday-Sunday Til sold out (approx 5-6pm:)

    Hi? Is it possible to order 50 donuts or more ? Or is it first come first serve . I need them for an…

    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…

    In search of cookies.... I did a quick stop here on my way back from walking... great chocolate…read morechip cookies.... Service was good... There is a parking lot ... But for me... I walk everywhere in Carlsbad Village... part of its charm...

    "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.
