“On a quiet morning in Salinas, we stumbled upon a little shop and…..Wow!
Never tasted donuts like this: soft, very fresh, freshly prepared and with a spectacular maple syrup glaze!
Very high quality/price!
The stop alone is worth the trip to start the day off great! ?

And inside there are also tables where you can eat.

“I was able to special order a Lemon Meringue pie and it was the best! It's hard to find a local bakery that makes lemon meringue pies. The crust was flaky, the lemon curd filling was not too tart, and the meringue was perfection! Everyone really enjoyed it! Thank you for doing special orders that are not listed on your regular menu.“

“Lovely place with amazing selection of coffee. You can have a nice warm cup of coffee inside this facility or if you rather enjoying the sun outside.

Coffee taste is great, not burnt, perfect to the palate, capuccino can be served with some sprinkled cinnamon or chocolate powder.

Portions are generous and prices are reasonable. Staff is kind and service is quite fast offering freshly brewed expresso based drinks.“

“This place is so underrated! Such variety of fresh and delicious pan dulce And cakes!

Additionally, there is a whole mini restaurant with tacos, burritos, plates, salads, and all made fresh to order.
Everything we had was so good, we stopped talking and simply ate, yum.

Finally, the staff is bilingual, friendly, and more than happy to assist in any manner/matter. The inside also is clean with plenty of seating and it's quiet too.

10/10 will be back on a regular basis.
Note: we went on a Saturday for lunch.“
