Try the new Doughssant. The new cronut craze.
Reviewer: Cat
from Santa Barbara, CA
I read an article in the Indepent about the Spudnut at 3629 State St. in Santa Barbara offering the Doughssant. I was intreagued about the NY sensation, Cronut, and decided to purchase the SB Spudnut version. I bought one of each: powdered sugar, glazed, cinnamon, blueberry, chocolate cream and vanilla cream. A few friends and I had a taste test. The multiple layers of flakey croissant were lovely; crisp on the outside, soft and chewy on the inside. The cream-filled vanilla and chocolate doughssants were especially yummy.
The family-operated store is run by Joy. She and her assistant were friendly and helpful. The hazelnut coffee was delicious, and Joy brewed a pot on the spot because I had emptied the carafe but only half-filled my large cup. She also gave me a small bag of spudnuts as a parting gift.

Excellent donuts, coffee, drinks and sandwiches
Reviewer: Lou
from Santa Barbara, CA
I have been a regular customer for years. Love the hazelnut coffee and the garlic bagels. The donuts, breakfast bagels, sandwiches and boba drinks are outstanding. They have many regular customers who know about this place, but I continue to meet people who are surprised when I tell them about Spudnuts. Be sure to go to this location on upper State Street.

Best service and Breakfast sami's
Reviewer: Susie

I love Spudnuts! But this location is the best. It is walking distance from where I live and when I have guest visit this is always they place I bring them (often still in pajamas under our hoodies and coats). Joy and her family are always welcoming and even tease me when I haven't been in for a while. The food is fresh and the coffee is great. This is a warm family place. Please come and eat here, but don't touch that powdered donut, its MINE!

Ok Food, Friendly Service
Reviewer: Glenn
from Buellton
Really nice people there. Food Hit/Miss, the Bagel Sandwich was good, the pastries/donuts were not and the fresh squeezed OJ was nothing memorable(though I have had better from there previously if I remember). Large selection of Bobas if you are in to that(not me). Best Donuts for me in SB have been Winchells not Spudnuts(here or Carrillo). Go off hours as bad parking.

Finally, a friendly place that serves tapioca pearls!!!
Reviewer: Robyn
from Santa Barbara, CA
I've been on a quest to find tapioca pearl drinks in Santa Barbara...alas, the only place that sells them is in Goleta, and the people aren't incredibly friendly. I was having a rather bad day last week, and my fiance took me out to lunch. We walked past Spudnuts and I saw that they had tapioca/boba pearl drinks! I was so excited! It totally brightened my day! The lady behind the counter was incredibly sweet. I bought two drinks, one for myself and one for my fiance, and two bagels. The lady who was helping us gave me an extra bagel for free because one of them was 'a little small'. And she just had me pay $10 flat instead of $10 and the random change that it had...I will definately be going back there. What a great first impression:)

Surprisingly good donuts - smoothies only ok
Reviewer: Sam
from Goleta, CA
Moved here recently and searching for off the beaten path places to go and stumbled upon this place. The donuts are really good and fresh. The people working there know the customers that come in by name. The decor leaves something to be desired and the smoothie I had was mediocre, more icy that smoothie.

breakfast with a smile
Reviewer: Minah
from Santa Barbara
I have come here several times, first at the request of a friend who said this shop had the best doughnuts. And they *are* very good. I've had the glazed twist and the glazed old fashioned before. Spudnuts also serves sandwiches and smoothies. I recently had a breakfast bagel and was very pleased. Light, fluffy eggs scrambled with a little spring onion, crispy bacon...delicious. And best of all is the service. Everyone is smiling and polite. The family working behind the counter recognize locals with their regular orders and are very friendly.
