Good donuts, great sandwiches! Couldn't decide on chicken pesto or bbq Tri tip, soooo got both and just one word, BOMB! The lady was very nice and quick to serve. Sat down and saw the fish tank in the quiet, calm room while waiting. Next time we will be sitting down to eat great sandwiches.

Very good food. I enjoyed the turkey sandwich in the middle of the afternoon! Service was fine. And the ambience was comfortable. I didn't try any donuts, but I'm pretty sure they had a certain quality to them.

I drive from San José to get donuts here, I don't mind the drive knowing I get a sweet pillowy fresh donut after, hands down one of the best donuts shops in Northern California ?

The atmosphere was your typical donut shop. The lady behind the counter was awesome and she gets along with the customer

The donuts are always great. We love the apple fritters. Very crispy. Old fashioned glazed, with chocolate or maple. Nice to know you can have a donut anytime.

I came in last minute for some Sufganiyot for Hanukkah, and Mike (owner) saved the day and helped put together some jelly doughnuts for us. Truly a lifesaver and extremely friendly. We got another chocolate doughnut while there, absolutely delicious. Fresh and reasonably priced. We will be coming back again for all of our doughnut needs. I'm excited to try the sandwiches too!

Cute place; however, we have not had great experience with their donuts. I went there at 6:40 today but the donuts somehow did not taste fresh. They are not bad but you just expect better.

Donuts are so small compared to other locations and donut shops, I paid $3.50 for two of these,there normally 20-25% bigger. Lower prices or make them original s

It’s an okay donut. Raised was good. Apple fritter and old fashions were dry. The service was really great and the seating was very cute.

So we were on our way to Santa Cruz and decided to stop here for donuts after stopping at the mosque nearby in the morning. Really great donut shop and environment and friendly staff and good coffee and they are awake early. We ordered in total 6 donuts, and 2 hot chocolates and coffee. Drinks were great. The donuts, I think the glazed and chocolate the batter was a bit sticky and not as soft to bite into. They were a bit hard, was expecting to be a bit more differ. Also the layer of glaze was different from what i have had at other small donut shops Il come Back again next time to see if maybe todays batch was a bit off compared to maybe their regular days

Well this was an unexpected, wonderful surprise!! We stopped in for a quick lunch before a boat tour, had limited time and low expectations. We just needed food to cram down our gullets in a hurry. Instead what I got was one of the very best turkey sandwiches I've ever had. The bun was amazing, the turkey and cranberries were fantastic, but what made the sandwich were the shredded carrots. Absolutely amazing. Thanks, Ferrell's!!
