Hook & Press Donuts

Surprisingly good stuff here between the everything bagel and the vegan breakfast sandwich which was much better than most vegan sandwiches! I got the tea which they had honey and cinnamon and other addins if you want. Friendly atmosphere, prices were a bit high but that's to be expected in Santa Barbara.

Everyone has their obsession. For me, it's donuts. I happily traverse the west coast in search of the perfect donut. Well, I no longer have to search. I have found the perfect donut, and it can be found at Hook & Press. All I can say is 'wow'! Every selection is not only delicious, but a small work of art almost too pretty too eat. I would name my favorite, but I couldn't honestly pick one over the others. While the line has always been long when I've been there, it always tends to move fast unless you have a customer asking tons of questions before their purchase. Will I ever find a better donut anywhere? Probably not. Will I keep coming down from the San Francisco area to visit Hook & Press? Definitely!

There is nothing I love more than a good donut and Hook & Press has it DOWN. Their donuts are extremely fresh, fluffy, and delicious. I tried multiple of the seasonal flavors: blueberry crisp, raspberry peach, lemon olive oil--there was not a single I didn't like! The donuts are also not super sweet so perfect for the adult palate. Their espresso is fantastic and we even ordered the dog donut! A bit too hard for our pup but very aesthetically pleasing ☺️The staff is very friendly. All around fantastic spot!

New openings are fresh returns from passionate isolation, where a chef treats a public whose pallate is made common by consensus with the fruits of their inspiration. These fresh returns have triumphs that are capitalized upon, and failures that are similarly ground towards such approval as the chef would concede to meet a larger public as eccentric retention would allow. Or, A great shop with familiar donuts you'll love, and a few innovative ideas that will excite you after you see why the differences are better than what you expected. I recommend the glazed blueberry with sweet cream. Try the biscuits too for salty, flaky perfection.
