Slodoco Donuts — Restaurant in Goleta

Tried Slodoco Donuts today for the first time and was pleasantly surprised by the amazing selection of over 100 flavours, the freshness, and amazing taste. I tried 3 items, a maple bar, a French Doughnut, and a cream puff. All were absolutely fresh and delicious. I am a little late to the party as it opened in October of last year.

It is a large comfortable environment with two large spaces to enjoy your donuts and beverages. Looks like a great place to study, socialize, vocalize and just hang out.

This would be a great place for digital nomads. There is a complete selection of beverages and a full espresso bar also.

It’s open 24 hours a day if you ever crave a late night snack. Plenty of free parking available nearby. It’s a great addition to this shopping centre. I will be back. Highly...

!Rampant indoor vaping! Seriously, there is so much vaping here.

One star is mainly for the indoor vaping and above issues. If this place is classified as a restaurant, then I'm pretty sure that indoor vaping is illegal here...

While it’s great to have a 24-hour study spot in IV, my excitement is hindered by a few factors. The wifi takes at all times 10+ minutes of turning on and off to finally connect, which is consistently frustrating though understandable for a new place. While I’ve heard good things about their normal donuts, they combined all of their vegan ones with their gluten free, making those dense, stiff, and unpleasant. I’ve had both great vegan and great gluten free donuts in the past, but combining them creates an indredientless unholy monstrosity which I now feel blighted to have experienced firsthand. Their coffee is also pretty disappointing for a donut shop. Hopefully these issues will be resolved in the...
