    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!

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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!

    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!

    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!

    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!

    Guava passionfruit, key lime, brown butter, fritter

    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.

    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…

Totally unassuming spot and yet it has such a charming spirit and energy to it that is worth going out of your way to stop by and patronize.

This is the type of business that deserves to be supported and protected, I'll be spreading the word.

    Dreamwave really is a dream!…read more One of my fave matcha spots and it's such a hidden gem. DW is a great little shop/ roastery tucked in a corner of a shopping plaza with a large grocery store and some other small, local spots. DW has a fun, retro vibe to their decor and merch. The baristas are always SO kind and friendly! The owner, Mike, is also super outgoing and welcoming. Everyone is always willing to give me recommendations, which have all been yummy for me. I don't drink coffee/espresso (I know!), but it always smells and looks amazing. Mike roasts the coffee beans himself! What I can say is their matcha is top notch. They use a ceremonial grade powder that is smooth, creamy, and so so yummy in their lattes. The shop also has absolutely stellar syrups and flavors that are made in-house. The combination of such high quality ingredients lends itself to delicious drinks consistently. I've only had a few food items, but they've been really great too! Special shout out to the banana bread for sure. Overall, Dreamwave is consistently awesome! The baristas provide excellent service, food, and drinks. The shop itself has a great vibe and cool merch. I couldn't ask for more, which is why it's a fave for me that I share with all my friends!

My boyfriend and I got a bergamot latte and coffee soda as our coffees. We felt like the coffee was pretty good. It was maybe a tad bit sweeter than we typically prefer but still very enjoyable and definitely not sickeningly sweet. For breakfast we did their heirloom tomato bagel on an everything cheddar bagel and an everything bagel with the seasonal jam which is currently strawberry. We LOVED the heirloom tomato toast. It was fantastic!! So delicious and the tomato's were nice sweet and juicy. I loved the bagels a lot too and I'm not usually a huge bagel person. My boyfriend liked his bagel with jam but he enjoyed the tomato one more. I also loved the chill location and was happy to find a coffee spot where it isn't packed with a long line/wait. Overall great experience and I'll come back again soon!

Of all the things I've tried, their Salted Caramel Latte is king! I love a mixture of sweet and salty and this latte really delivers. The coffee is smooth and on the stronger side. As for matcha, I think Bound is miles ahead of any spots in the area. Matcha notes always shine through and it never tastes milky. Lastly, shoutout to their Breakfast Burrito! Every burrito is made to order and features tots, cheese, bacon, egg and a roasted Fresno Chile crema. It's served with TWO (red and green) salsas on the side. Could not be happier every time I order this!
