1st ASSORTED DONUTS
Dutch Door Donuts, Carmel-by-the-Sea
donuts are all made to order and served freshly fried, warm, and fluffy. The cinnamon sugar donut is like eating a fluffy churro. 😋
2nd MANGO PASSIONFRUIT CUSTARD BOMBOLINI
Firebrand Artisan Breads, Oakland
an Italian donut filled with mango passion fruit custard. yum!
3rd DONUTS
Surfside Donuts and Coffee, Pismo Beach
Always a must stop here for those delicious donuts. The menu changes daily and they close by 11am, or when they sell out. 😋
4th CARAMEL CHEESECAKE DONUT
Surfside Donuts and Coffee, Pismo Beach
Fluffy and not too sweet (compared to the salted Caramel donut). I totally inhaled this donut before realizing that I never took a single donut photo. 😅 Just be aware that they'll close early (before 11am, today was before 10:20am) if they sell out. If they make it tomorrow morning again, I'll need to order it!
5th BLACK SESAME MOCHI DONUT
Mochill Mochi Donut, Oakland
The black sesame glaze is perfection! 😋
REALLY GOOD
8th MOCHI DONUTS
Bober Tea & Coffee, Martinez
so delicious when you get these just when the store opens.
10th ORIGINAL GLAZED DOUGHNUT
Krispy Kreme, Concord
My free "birthday" reward...one dozen original glazed. Redeemed a few days early before my actual bday since the offer ends at the end of the month and I have no other free time to visit here before my reward expires.
12th MAPLE BACON DONUT
Surfside Donuts and Coffee, Pismo Beach
the bacon had a slight smokey flavor that made this really good. Doughnut was very fresh and fluffy!
13th SALTED CARAMEL DONUT
Surfside Donuts and Coffee, Pismo Beach
Delicious! Sweet, fluffy, and with a touch of sea salt.
14th FRUITY PEBBLES MOCHI DONUT
Mochill Mochi Donut, Oakland
Not super sweet and that's a good thing!
15th MOCHI DONUTS
Mochill Mochi Donut, Oakland
oh it's so dangerous that I can pre-order these for pickup right after work. So delicious...especially the Black Sesame one! 🤤 In this order (clockwise from top left): Cookies N Cream, Matcha Oreo, Black Sesame, Taro, White Chocolate Berry, and S'mores
16th CHOCOLATE COVERED FRENCH CRULLER DONUT
Happy Donuts, Berkeley
Happy National Doughnut Day! I inhaled this delicious creation. Moist and crisp. Yum!
18th DONUTS
Lamplight Lounge, Anaheim
Batter mix tastes like the same one used for the Mickey beignets. Perfect for dipping into the chocolate and berry sauces.
PRETTY GOOD
19th MOCHI DONUTS
Mochinut, Pinole
guava, chocolate caramel churro, taro pebbles, raspberry funnel cake, and black sesame x2. the mochi donut on its own has good flavor and texture. The toppings can be hit or miss. Guava - icing is way too sweet, but has good guava flavor Taro Pebbles - the best flavor of the whole box. Chocolate Caramel Churro - not too sweet, but wished there was more chocolate and caramel drizzle Raspberry Funnel Cake - nice balance of flavor and not too sweet Black Sesame - nice black sesame flavor with a sugary texture
20th ASSORTED DONUTS
Krispy Kreme, Brentwood
I can't really complain since this was my bday reward from Krispy Kreme. It was suppose to be 3 free glazed, but when I arrived at 4pm, they were already out of glazed for the day. The only donuts remaining were these three filled donuts: creme, custard, and lemon...plus 4 raspberry. I grabbed the last three that weren't raspberry. So I lucked out with getting a bday donut upgrade before the shop closed up early for the day.
21st HOMER (SIMPSON) WITH STRAWBERRY FROSTING
Donut Bar, San Diego
It's Homer Simpson's doughnut! Huge doughnut, nearly 6 inches in diameter and maybe 2 inches tall. Texture was moist but chewy. Good flavor, but nothing exciting.
22nd YODA WITH CHOCOLATE FROSTING
Donut Bar, San Diego
Huge donut! 6 inches in diameter. It's a pretty sight with a chocolate Yoda head in the center. Tasted good, but nothing special about it... other than being a special San Diego Comic-Con themed item.
JUST OK
23rd DOUGHNUTS
Dough, New York
Maybe I ordered the wrong $5.95USD doughnut, but I was not impressed. I'm more of a cruller donut person, and the two doughnuts we had were like a bagel version of a doughnut. It definitely had a good amount of yeast to give the dough some rise, but it was like eating a sweetened bread/bagel instead of a doughnut. The flavor of the cinnamon sugar and chocolate coco nibs were good.
