SloDoCo Donuts — Restaurant in San Luis Obispo

For people who know the area there is one place for doughnuts that really stands out amount the rest. When you enter the store you get your first indication something is going on and there is a buzz even late at night.

Picture students and people working to laptops, talking, and a relaxed vibe centered around doughnuts (and assume some coffee to keep the fires going).

Why are all these people here?

Well they have some Rockin' doughnuts for one. They have so many choices and as they are busy they are always making fresh batches. The flavors, colors, and variation is amazing. I have friends and family who need to eat gluten free and there are a whole section for delicious choices for them as well.

They have a rock solid social media presence and be sure to read and see some of their amazing "holey" creations for yourself.

Recently tried the devil cake donut with cream cheese frosting. Evily delicious.

I've been coming here since I was a kid and the doughnuts are always delicious, but the number of people they continuously attempt to cram into that shop is ridiculous. Half the times I stop by, it feels like it's invaded by rock shows or large groups of sports teams. I expect a 24/ hour coffee shop, primarily used as a study space, to have a calm and peaceful atmosphere, but every time I go here it's chaotic and overwhelming. It ruins the experience. The shows I have been to have been stressful and crowded. Maybe if they were playing chill music, moshing in a 10x10 box of a space, gets people hurt and it's no fun. At the last show I went to, a few families were coming in with their little kids, and college kids were running around drunk or smoking joints outside. Some even smoked inside. It was not what you wanted or expected to see when going to Slodoco. It was very disappointing, it's not the same shop as when...

Today November 13, 2021, we had the worst experience ever at this Foothill location in San Luis Obispo. The 2 young women behind the counter, were flip, snide and in general very apathetic attendents for customers. The brunette looked like she was hung over, disheveled, rude and handled the donuts like she was annoyed and being put out. Her hair was not tied back at the bottom and that was disturbing to us. We do not like hair in our food. Next, when we finished paying $15 and change for 4 donuts and 2 milks, we get in the car to eat. My glazed donut was stale, and smashed by the counter person putting the heavy apple fritter on top of it. We will never go back and never give a referral to this college donut store. It was a amazing business with great service when they first opened up many years ago. But as many places, it is now just a...
