Dunlap's Donuts
3791 Portola Dr, Santa Cruz, CA
Crema's Take
“This beloved Santa Cruz institution pairs exceptional, freshly-made donuts with a welcoming neighborhood vibe that keeps locals coming back generation after generation. Beyond the classic glazed and cake varieties, you'll find creative seasonal flavors that disappear fast, so arriving early rewards you with the full selection alongside a solid pour of traditional coffee. The friendly staff and casual, timeless shop layout make it the kind of place where a quick caffeine-and-pastry run naturally turns into lingering over a walk down East Cliff.”

Delicious donuts and incredible prices! This is my favorite donut shop in the area, and I'm eager to return! There are tons of options from the ones you know and love to flavors you wouldn't come up with in your wildest dreams. It's a great place to grab a treat!
Best spot in the area for donuts. Highly recommend stopping in, grabbing your fav, a cup of coffee and a walk down East Cliff. The staff are always extremely friendly and nice as well.
Lots of fun flavors....regular ones too. The staff is very friendly....get your favorites early as they run out. Phone orders accepted too!
As donuts go, this is the place to go Capitol/Santa Cruz. Tasty fresh donuts everywhere. Classic shop layout. Nice service and expect a bit of a wait (10 people in line behind me). A nice surprise is their decadent ham and cheese croissants with jalapeños. One of the best I’ve had and that says a lot coming from a guy that grew up on a south boarder town. Highly recommended.
Dig the fresh Donuts at Dunlap! The best in Santa Cruz, huge maple bars dripping with icing, fresh puffed glazed, big enough for that burger cheese and bacon, decadent cake donuts with sprinkles nuts and sweet icing, excellent buttermilk and ole fashion with thick glaze and crispy edges. You may have to wait in a short line. Coffee is to die from Santa Cruz Roasting. Right on the corner of Portola and 38th Avenue.
