Danish and Donuts

We came here on a very hot day while vacationing in Sonoma because this donut shop was in walking distance of our hotel. Although we were looking forward to a nice big cup of iced coffee to go with donuts (it really was hot that day!), the iced coffee was a disappointment. I think it was brewed hot and then flash-​chilled with a bucketload of ice, because it tasted like coffee-​tinged water. The donuts were pretty good though.

The cake donuts were especially good. Blueberry cake was my favorite – not too sweet.

About as average as it gets…

Omg! The donuts are sooooo good! I love the cinnamon role is yummy, and my «go to», sometimes it’s even hot! I bank all of my treats just to have one of these. The owners are pleasant, and take good care of there regulars. The coffee is good too.

When you can get in early enough there is an awesome selection of donuts and pastries. But early enough is a toss up. Every time I get in before nine and there are basically no donuts left.
When you actually get lucky enough to get the donut or pastry you want it’s wonderfully made and one of the best in the county. There is nothing worse then dreaming of the perfect donut to get there and there be none left.
It is slightly confusing who will serve you next as they aren’t very organized. The parking lot is also too small to accommodate the rush of customers they have during the few short hours they actually have donuts.
Also what other choice do we have when the only other donuts in town are in gas stations and grocery stores. Take what you can get I guess.

Old school donut shop with the best wheels in town! Get there early because they don’t last! Enjoy

Love this place, they seem to have more of a variety of donuts than other places I’ve been too, never heard of a buttermilk bar, but it’s awesome. Always has customers and open super early for commuters. Owner isn’t the most outgoing guy, but he seems nice enough. Coffee is what you’d expect, weak but good for dunking.

this place has good product if you get there early enough to get something you like. in my 25 years in Sonoma and have only eaten here once because they don’t make enough to get them to 12pm and on a Sunday not everyone can make it to the donut shop before 7am. today I reminded myself why I don’t come here and why I won’t again.
don’t waste your time trying after 8am.

Some pros, some cons.
The cake dough is just right– not too bland, not too sweet; good crust with a little crunch. Recommended.
Frostings were on the grittier side (good or bad based on personal preference.) The chocolate was a loud and demanding flavor (which I liked,) but was enough that I felt the need to take a sip of something after a bite.
Yeast donut was same on the sweetness/​flavor scale, with a well balanced and sweeter glaze.
The apple fritter is sweet. A crust on the bottom and a crunch all around.
The old fashioned was good– same league as the cake donuts.
The buttermilk failed to impress. Smooth texture, flavorful glaze, ok crust, the buttermilk itselfcame through more on texture than flavor.
4-​stars overall, but I dinged them ine star for being real sugary, as far as dounts go.
As far as employee attitudes, they seemed a bit detatched, but they were friendly enough.

Someone said it before… and I agree 100%:

Lmao at people thinking these are some of the best doughnuts around. I know good doughnuts. These are not it. I was lured in by the sign of Danish and Donuts off the road, so I stopped by and got a half-​glazed double chocolate doughnut and a danish. The cheese danish was just «all right» and the doughnut was even worse, like, you know, «what a waste of calories» worse. Sorry, but there’s nothing worse than a disappointing doughnut. A good doughnut should leave you craving more… another doughnut. But this didn’t, obviously. This just made me irritated because I wasted my money. Better stick to my tried-​and-​true ones! Nothing spectacular here, don’t go in here expecting anything but to waste your calories and money.

This is the best donut shop around because every time I go in the business to buy my donuts I find they are still warm and made the same day. Same thing with the croissants. It doesn’t get any better!

These are the best donuts in the world! The crumb donut is incredible. Get there earlier. They go fast.

When in the mood for donuts (or cinnamon rolls in my case) this is the spot to go in Sonoma.

Rude staff. Dirty store. If you use your debit card they charge you an extra $ 1.75.
Sonoma market and Safeway is where I will be going to get donuts in the future.

You gotta try the raspberry butterfly! :D Every was tasty and fresh, a happy treat!

Poor location makes parking difficult and getting in and out challenging. Rude staff made me felt like I was doing them a favor by ordering there. Would not go back. Donuts no better than Safeway.

Seriously these are horribly delicious and ugh so good. They are donuts so obviously not good for you, but your taste buds will love you for letting them indulge in the happiness of this place.
Its usually very busy in the morning so I suggest going early. The coffee is good. The selection is vast. Everything is made fresh on site. The place is neat and clean with polite staff. When I was a kid my Mom took me here every monday morning as a tradition for a fun start to the school week.
I’m trying to think of the best donut they have but its hard because its all so tasty. My hubby really loves the old fashion, I am having a life long love affair with their french cruller. The crème filled is also yumminess as well.

I wish we could give a NO star rating! One bite of their apple fritter was all I could stomach. It literally was soaked in oil, I pictured myself wringing out a cup of oil from this fritter. Same with the cinnamon roll. We took our order to go but ended up tossing all in the garbage and then stopping somewhere else to eat breakfast. I really don’t understand the 5 star reviews on this place it just doesn’t seem possible given the quality of what we purchased. It’s not in a very nice part of town so please don’t waste your time trying to find it.

Hands down, these are the best donuts in the world. The chocolate cake donut with chocolate frosting and sprinkles has been my favorite since I was born. And now I’m sort of pushing 30. Go to this place. You won’t be disappointed.
