Top tier donut shop. So fresh and flavorful. There was a water advisory all weekend, and Surfside took the financial hit to close all weekend to ensure customer safety. We are so thankful they prioritized our safety, so we HAD to come the first day...Read More

Cute little coffee spot. The team inside were super friendly and patient with us since it was our first time in and we weren’t from the area. The donuts were delicious! Would definitely stop by again if I’m ever in Pismo again!

We went an hour before they closed (so 10am) and they only really had 2 or 3 flavors left. Aside from lack of selection- the donuts were really good. They are fluffy / airy with the right amount of chew. Toppings and Flavors were great...Read More

Best donuts in the region. They have a very creative menu and incredible flavors. The only problem is that their donuts run out really fast. They open 6 in the morning, so if you arrive after 10 you may not find any. During the pandemic...Read More

This is a regular stop for us when we visit Pismo! It is not your average donut shop, aside from the very friendly and engaging staff it’s truly an experience. From their unique flavors, to the modern feels, and their family friendly atmosphere I would...Read More

This place has great donuts and very friendly staff. There is a large selection of donuts so it was hard to choose. We arrived around 7am and there was no line to get inside which was nice.

The maple bacon donut was so good and not greasy at all, and the chai had a lot of flavor. The best donuts I’ve had in a while

I randomly stumbled upon this place this morning and it’s my new favorite coffee/donut spot! The folks working there were super friendly, the coffee is delicious and they even have fresh (not dry or weird) gluten free donuts! Totally brightened my rainy morning! :)

Need to warn you. Once you try Surfside, *nothing* will ever compare. No donut, local or far, can hold a candle to the freshness, the incredible icing, the amazing flavor combos. I don’t even like Matcha flavoring but their matcha donuts …

This is one of those gems you should probably stop by earlier, rather than near closing. They definitely sell out of many of the selections. The donuts all look amazing and taste just as good. Bonus: a very good selection of gluten free (friendly?) donuts...Read More
