10 Best Donuts near Santa Barbara

“I was welcomed with smiles and kindness and so very friendly. The vast selection was SO fresh and well presented it made it hard to choose. So I got a BIG box and a breakfast croissant. Amazing fresh flavor and such nice people. We will be back again and again and again.“

“I love this donut shop. No pretensions, no cool hip setting, just donuts, dozens of them, in old-fashioned glass cases. The man who makes them is up at 2:30 every day, and is always in great humor. A real life lesson. And his donuts are delicious, sweet and old-fashioned as well, not a whiff of matcha.“

“the savory everything bagel brioche donut and the sweet and savory maple bacon are to die for!“

“Hands down, well unless you're sampling one of the delicious treats, the VERY BEST DONUTS in the area. Always fresh and perfectly glazed and sprinkled. The donut holes should be illegal, they're just that addicting! You wont be disappointed!“

“We made a weekend trip from Miami to Santa Barbara mostly just to visit Kin lol. I had seen them on socials and reddit and I'm a sucker for great food and an even better experience. Kin is such a special place. Yes, the line is long but it is oh so worth it. We literally visited every day, twice a day over the long weekend and tried almost every drink and baked treat on the menu LOL. Can't go wrong with anything. Everyday I had a new favorite, it's THAT GOOD. The coconut cloud matcha, and pandan matcha are the best I've ever had. The cookie butter cream top is also stellar. The donuts speak for themselves, but trust me, the flavors taste just as good as they sound reading them on a menu. So thankful we got to try Kin and thank you a million times over to the staff and the amazing owner. I don't know how they do it but they manage to still be warm and friendly even with how insanely busy they are non-stop. For anyone complaining about the lines or prices, this is prob not your vibe. Those of us who get it, 'get it.' I really hope to be able to come back and visit in the future. I wish sooooo much success for this team and hope Kin sticks around and expands (hopefully to Miami lol)“

“Ummy! Got a sausage, egg, and cheese croissant 🥐 with mayo :) Just how I like it. Flakey, crumbly, squished a lil, with a thick bite of creamy, savory, umami filling. Sammy was was $12.25 plus a $2 Diet Coke 💕
Next time I’ll try an mango ice cream shake thingy“

“...an absolute must culinary experience! Neptune Radio reporting. ...“

“This place is absolutely amazing! It’s our favorite spot for bagels. The bagels are perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, and they’re loaded with fresh, generous fillings. Every flavor we’ve tried is delicious—literally every single one. Our favorites are the Milano and the hummus-filled bagels. Honestly, I think these are the best bagels I’ve ever had in the country!

The staff is super friendly and always quick, which makes the experience even better. Everything is so fresh, and it’s clear why this place is so popular, there’s always a line! They also have donuts, and even though we haven’t tried them ourselves, I’ve seen so many people grabbing them. The prices are really good too—considering the quality, they could easily charge more. I just absolutely love this place“

“My favorite donuts in all the world ...My goodness!!!
Service was quick / very polite for every customer... outstanding...
Atmosphere let's say it's a very small business place. It can get very packed but once inside it makes up for that... I'm smiling! All the donuts smell so good and look so good and are so good ( well especially my fav's.. I'm not telling that's my secret.“

“Great Place to Visit ,)“
