Came here for the vegan donuts on Friday and was not disappointed. The selection was good, four flavors, and the French Toast donut was delectable. I considered walking back just for another one.

If you’re in Pismo craving vegan donuts on Friday, check this spot out. Their brewed coffee is even pretty good and reasonably priced.

🌊☀️ The Perfect Morning Ritual in Pismo Beach Donuts, Coffee & Ocean Air 🍩☕️

There’s something special about starting the day the right way, and for me, that usually means a fresh donut, a good cup of coffee, and a walk by the ocean. Surfside Donuts and Coffee has become my go-to morning stop whenever I’m in Pismo Beach.

The routine is simple and perfect: grab a sweet donut, pair it with morning coffee, and head straight toward the beach and the wooden deck. From there, everything slows down in the best way possible. You can breathe in the salty ocean air, feel the gentle warmth of the sun, and just enjoy the moment. Seagulls flying overhead, surfers catching waves, and people strolling along the boardwalk it’s classic California coastal energy at its finest.

Every visit feels effortless and relaxed. The donuts are fresh and satisfying without being overcomplicated, exactly what you want in the morning. The coffee pairs perfectly with the sweetness, making it an ideal combo before a beach walk. This isn’t just about grabbing food it’s about creating a small morning ritual that sets the tone for the entire day.

Whenever I visit Pismo Beach, this is how I like to begin. A donut in hand, coffee nearby, ocean views all around, and no rush to be anywhere else. Simple pleasures, done right.

If you’re looking for a calm, feel-good way to start your day in Pismo, this spot delivers every single time. ✌🏽🌊🍩

Super yummy donuts. I was so excited about it I forgot to take a pic until I was half way done lol. I got the salted caramel and maple bacon. Both were so delicious. Cashier was super friendly. Lots of seating. This is my normal donut spot when I’m in Pismo.

They have raised vegan donuts on Fridays! We got vegan: Apple fritter, vanilla bean glazed, pink sprinkle, and salted caramel glazed. We liked them all but the pink sprinkle and salted caramel were my favorite. The pink frosting was fresh and soft and the salted caramel was so caramelly-tasting, but like real caramel, not artificial at all. Honestly they were the best donuts of my life and I will be back. I just wish I didn’t have to wait until next Friday 😥 I think they have at least a vegan gf donut every day but normal vegan donuts are only on Friday

Lovely little donut shop that actually serves fantastic gluten free donuts. Get there early as they sell out fast and when they do the doors will close!

These donuts are good, however not worth going right at open or waiting in a long line with hopes that they won’t run out of something you’re interested in. This almost feels like “generated scarcity” while only being open until 6-11 or when sold out which depending on what they are serving could be sooner.

I’m personally not a fan of stumptons coffee, I generally think it tastes awful but for some it is their preferred cup of joe so if you like it that’s a plus to go with your donuts.

The layout is way too small and the doors being open lets gnats in but it seems to be a problem in the general area which gets irritating.

If you are staying close by I’d say go for a treat. But if you’re passing by I wouldn’t go out of your way especially if it’s close to 11.

The maple bacon donut was so good and not greasy at all, and the chai had a lot of flavor. The best donuts I’ve had in a while

This is one of those gems you should probably stop by earlier, rather than near closing. They definitely sell out of many of the selections. The donuts all look amazing and taste just as good. Bonus: a very good selection of gluten free (friendly?) donuts too, but they do go quick. Everything pairs nice with a very nice Stumptown brew of coffee. Let's not forget the staff. Super friendly and engaging. Most certainly going back!
