Tyler's Donuts
1002 Casitas Pass Rd, Carpinteria, CA
Crema's Take
“Tyler's is a refreshingly unpretentious donut shop where you come for genuinely good pastries and croissants at honest prices, not for Instagram moments or fancy seating. The staff here are genuinely warm and appreciative, making it clear they care about getting your order right and sending you off happy. It's the kind of spot where you grab a classic donut and coffee to-go and actually taste the difference between a place that takes care with what they make and everywhere else.”

Seating needs updates since the vinyl bench is half ripped up. And there seems to help storage, so they have boxes, cases of beverages, and misc schtuff cluttering the place up. The entrance to behind the counter is about a foot wide that the workers have to squeeze thru when they go to front of house or behind the counter. Just weird layout, and a bit messy without being “gross”. Just strange for a business to be like this.
Tyler's Donuts is a no nonsense donut shop in Carpenteria, CA. No frills, no IG interest wall. Just serving up classic donuts, croissants (including hot bakes), and basic coffee drinks. They are located in an unassuming shopping center anchored by an Albertsons grocery store. The donuts and all the baked goods are good ole fashion bakery made. The donuts had a traditional, classic taste. They also specialize in croissants. They have traditional $3.25, fruit filled $3.25, and hot bakes $6. Puffy, golden flaky layers. The croissants are huge, the size of my hand. Rustic looking. Not perfect looking but that just adds to the house made look. The odd thing I noticed though was the menu board. They listed prices for everything except the donuts. Where are the donut prices? They ought to change that to get some prices on the menu or labeled on the trays. Something. Having those prices listed would help out the staff deal with the same questions and sticker shocked customers.
Good croissants, friendly service. Not much to the inside but great for to go orders. The ladies who have helped me have been very appreciative and kind here.
Everything is good from taste of a donut up to the price. Unfortunately Boston cream donut it’s not available.
Donuts are usually good and well priced but today I got a moldy jelly donut
