Dunlap's Donuts — Restaurant in California

Delicious array of sandwiches and doughnuts. And the service is phenomenal! We called in a large order of (15) sandwiches, as well as doughnuts and coffee for an event we were hosting. We gave them a few days notice and asked to pick up the order at 6:45 AM. (Note that it is very difficult to get breakfast for a group that early in Santa Cruz county). Everything was ready when I got there, the staff was super accommodating and friendly, and they were still able to deal with the throngs of people coming in while helping me with my order. They greeted many of the people walking through the door by name and even knew what they were going to order before they could say it. You can tell this is a staple establishment in the neighborhood. And a fantastic little family-owned business. It will be my choice for early morning breakfasts...

Strawberry mochi- Wow! Absolute standout from everything we got. The donut itself is so soft and fluffy and has an amazing mochi chew. The strawberry frosting is delicious. I would eat lots and lots of these. Maple cronut- Very good maple glaze. Right thickness and fantastic flavor. The cronut is great. Layers of deliciousness while being airy. Would...

Oh, how I love Dunlaps. I’m a former SC resident turned NYC resident but I chose to have my wedding in Capitola as it is awesome. We decided to have a dessert bar instead of a wedding cake so we spent days around Santa Cruz looking for the best cakes, cookies and DONUTS! We actually tried every donut place in SC County, even Psycho Donuts in Cupertino. We are absolute donut snobs, didn’t like any of the donuts EXCEPT for the ones at Dunlaps. We fell in love with their Maple Bacon donut especially. It is the best we’ve ever had. We were so happy using Dunlaps for our wedding dessert bar. They were easy to order ahead and they were...
