Got a Boston Creme, was not very creme filled. I was able to scoop out 1 spoonfull and show were the creme was after I cut it in half. If they cut the doughnut in half, then filled it, would be 100% better.

ADD To your reply: I did mention this on your fb page, with pictures and you deleted my post. You didn't seem interested then, so I wrote the review.

Brags about being able to pronounce ingredients however they won’t disclose what’s in their made from scratch every day products. If you are going to highlight healthy organic ingredients that you can pronounce, you should be able to tell people with sensitivities what is in the products!

Best donuts in town for sure. My favorite are the chocolate glazed. There are a ton to choose from and they are the best, by far. They are located on east figueroa, just off state st. Parking is a bit tight here. I would recommend either using side streets or using a paid lot. Another good spot for donuts is Bossie's on Malpas. Worth checking out too.

Had their lavender honey latte and golden milk latte. Both were decent. Ambience was very welcoming.

Good service, trendy atmosphere. The wait time was a little long and this place is definitely pricey. Not an everyday spot more of a Santa Barbara tourist treat. Killer food and donuts.

I don’t get the hype. The donuts are overly fancy and ridiculously sweet. The layout is confusing with different counters for donuts, sandwiches, and coffee. Their breakfast sandwiches, which consist of egg, bacon, etc. I figured would be savory, but it came out on a donut which totally threw off my palate.

We couldn’t struggle through the barrage of sweetness so we asked for a to-go box - they said the don’t “give away free boxes” and we had to prove we had leftovers at the table.

Two sandwiches, two donuts, and two coffees was $50+

Their music playlist is great, though.

Obsessed! Without a doubt, my favorite donuts in SB. Not only are they beautiful, but the flavors are incredible too! We ordered the honey cake donut, beet ricotta brioche donut, butterscotch brioche donut, and vegan houseplant sandwich.
The location is beautiful and there’s plenty of seating. The merchandise is adorable. The line didn’t take terribly long. Everything around the interior was clean and styled well.
Quite surprisingly, the butterscotch donut wasn’t overly sweet - they somehow managed to get a beautiful and distinct butterscotch flavor in the filling without making it so sweet that it overwhelms you after a few bites. Such a pleasant little surprise!
Not a single criticism. I’d come back anytime

Cute store, but their prices are insane for the donuts they serve. Unfortunately, there are much better options, but with a few recipe changes I think that could be remedied.

Great fresh donuts. I like to consider myself a donut aficionado, and this place is official!

Gourmet doughnuts with the most interesting flavors you won't find in an average donut shop.

Cute place and delicious donuts! It was a little confusing on what to do with the plates after we were finished cuz there were no waiters but no place to dump the plates either.but they have a wide selection of cool donuts!

10/10 recommended. Ordered the everything bagel & 2 vegan donuts (horchata & cookie). The vibe is amazing with clean/pink theme, great choices for donuts & even breakfast/sandwich. Definitely a place for simple quick bite to eat. Delicious!

Hook and Press donuts are delicious. The unique flavors and freshness are amazing. That's even though more places are doing specialty donuts these are really good.
The deliciousness even extends to their breakfast meals. The sandwiches are amazing light and fluffy and tasty.
In the heart of downtown Santa Barbara you have to try this place.

The best donuts of Santa Barbara, California. All their donut are great - plenty of options and friendly staff.

Wheelchair accessible and bicycle & dog friendly. There's a city parking lot garage on the same block. Great place to visit
