Surfside Donuts and Coffee

We went an hour before they closed (so 10am) and they only really had 2 or 3 flavors left. Aside from lack of selection- the donuts were really good. They are fluffy / airy with the right amount of chew. Toppings and Flavors were great as well. I got chocolate cheesecake, and my husband tried coconut custard. I wish we could have tried more than that, but that just means we'll have to go back. We took ours to go because seating area was packed. Parking lot outside with free marked customer spots.

What a wonderful selection! I am NOT a donut eater ( I know… how can anyone hit like donuts) but everyone I love likes …ok, loves them! Soooo … here I am.

Need to warn you. Once you try Surfside, *nothing* will ever compare. No donut, local or far, can hold a candle to the freshness, the incredible icing, the amazing flavor combos. I don’t even like Matcha flavoring but their matcha donuts have me in a chokehold. Everything is more than delicious. Even my own kid says, “Nothing is better than Carrie’s donuts!” 10000/10. Will eat for the rest of my life. Cremate me and a donut and scatter my ashes over the Pismo beach so I can continue eating donuts in this life and the next

Hands down the best donut & fritter I’ve ever had 🙌🏼 will definitely be going back before my vacation wraps up! (See pic for blueberry fritter, view not included 🙃)

The best donuts 🍩 on this planet!
Greetings from Germany it was nice talking to you! 😊

This was our first time here and it was great!

Staff was friendly and the variety of doughnuts made me feel like a kid in a candy store!

I got the chocolate donut with bacon and oh my gosh it was great! Not too sweet absolutely perfect.

My husband got the coffee and loved it!.
We will be coming here again.

I wanted to love this place. But I think I went at the wrong time. I travel the world to try donuts. It's a hobby. I have been to over 100 donuts shops in the country. Let's start with pros. Great selection of donuts. Great look to the donuts. The staff was 5 stars. Extremely friendly and helpful. I walked in and wanted to get one of each, but ended up with about 8 to try. The prices of their donuts is also very good. Cons. The staff missed a donut I ordered and paid for in the box, but I can let that slide. The biggest issue was that the donuts were not fresh. They were easily a day old or baked the evening before and put out first thing in the morning. Now I understand that most people would not be able to tell, or think that the donuts tasted great... well they were tasty. They had good flavor, but the cake and dough was dense which made the tasty donuts not enjoyable to me. I prefer fresh, same day donuts, that will melt in your mouth. I suspect that if you go later in the day you might get a fresh batch, but I may also suspect that they make their donuts in the evening, let them sit, refrigerate, then present in the morning and close when they sell out. Then Repeat. If you don't mind this in your donuts, then yes, visit them, they deserve the business for their efforts, but for me, I'll try some of the alternatives in the area next time.

We were the first customer of the day today. The young lady behind the counter was so sweet. We only got 4 donuts and a cup of hot coffee. My husband and I shared each donut. They were all amazing. We drink our coffee black with no creamer or sugar. This coffee was fresh and really good. Thank you goes out to the cook and the owners daughter for a great experiance while we are at the beach.

Best donuts in the region. They have a very creative menu and incredible flavors. The only problem is that their donuts run out really fast. They open 6 in the morning, so if you arrive after 10 you may not find any. During the pandemic be ready to wait in line and bring your face cover.

THE BEST DOUGHNUTS ON THE CENTRAL COAST! Fun & Creative flavors w/great service! It’s worth the 20min drive & a beach view! It’ll be your “GO TO SPOT”, for sure!
Keep it up!
