The food here is incredible. It’s close the folks who own the place care about their product. The atmosphere is lively and charming. Absolutely a must visit.

We tried Hook & Press based on our hotel's recommendation. The bakery is very large with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. We got the brown butter and Grinch donuts (pistachio glaze and cardamom pastry cream) and an egg nog latte and peanut butter cup latte. Between the donuts, the Grinch was my favorite. The flavor in the brown butter was too subtle for me. Pistachio and cardamom really came through on the Grinch donut. The donuts were not as soft and fluffy as I would have expected but I wonder if that is due to us coming later in the day - around 12:30 pm. However, we both really enjoyed our lattes. I would come back for the peanut butter cup latte and give the donuts another shot if it was closer to opening time.

I came here thinking the donuts were the star of the show. I couldn't have expected the glamorous look of the donut to be overshadowed by the fact they had the same quality / texture / flavor of a Safeway donut.
What WAS in fact, worth the price, was the breakfast sandwich I had. It blew me away! The biscuit it was served on was the perfect texture. The egg wasn't dry as one would typically expect from a sandwich at that price. The goat cheese was melty, the bacon jam was flavorful, and the arugula was the neat little bow on top that tied it all together.
If you're bringing kids, the donuts are probably the way to go for them. If you want to enjoy your breakfast, skip the tantalizing aesthetic of the donut and go straight for their sandwiches. I'm already looking forward to my next visit.

If you love donuts, you need to try these unique flavors at Hook & Press. Very seasonal flavors right now! Delightful! 🍩

Good sandwiches, but it takes way too long to get. Over the last three times I’ve been here, it’s taken at least 30 mins to get my order. If you have time, be sure to come here. If you’re in a rush, you better getting just a donut or going somewhere else.
You can't go wrong with any donut you choose, but my favorite was the brown butter glazed donut.

Honestly the service here keeps getting worse and worse. The donuts are absolutely fine, but the atmosphere doesn't feel friendly or engaging. Today I walked over to get a coffee with my wife and they were closed 20 minutes before they should have been. There's enough nice coffee shops in town and at least 2 other donut shops if they don't want our business.
A+ vegan options!
