Cute atmosphere, some yummy fluffy donuts with unique flavors. Plus there are vegan and gluten free options which is amazing!A bit pricey as 6 donuts cost about $25 with tip. Understandable though for artisan donuts and a small business. Unfortunately, coffee was out as well due to no hot water. It was a great experience regardless, friendly staff. Would probably visit again (especially cause I want to try the coffee!)

This was a fantastic discovery during a short stay in nearby Oceanside. Staff was amazing and these were easily in our top five donuts. The cake donut we tried melted in our mouth with a great slightly crisp outside texture. Also highly recommend sampling a “cruffin” - a muffin with flaked layer pastry. Unbelievably delicious!

This place is so good! Lots of flavors, not too sweet or plain, excellent customer service, clean bathroom. Churro cruller is the best. Highly recommended.

The too many good goods too good to miss goodswe like the grind gears chain and plant corner

Just had my first cinnamon roll from The Goods and I have to say, it was the best cinnamon roll I have ever had. Yes, the donuts are amazing too, but the cinnamon roll... chefs kiss. After eating that cinnamon roll this morning, I dont want to eat anything else for the rest of the day, as I know nothing I eat today will live up to the taste of that cinnamon roll.

Youd better go in with a game plan or youll walk out with one of everything! Absolutely superb. Cant wait to go back! The maple-bacon was decadent without being overly rich. Trying to pace myself through the rest! What a treat! Kind service too, theyre very patient with the selection process.

I love the vibe and the positive energy from the staff! Located in the heart of Carlsbad, its a perfect vibe to help balance your day. I mean, who doesnt love eating delicious donuts in perfect weather, while people watching??Speaking of donuts, The Goods are delicious and they have an all Vegan menu!! Seriously a place to add to your must try lists. Dont be surprised by spontaneous long lines - donuteers (just made that word up) come in waves and yes there are sporadic Ill take the rest of those donut orders. People travel from near and far and like placing BIG orders to go. Dont be discouraged though! The lines move quickly and the bakers are always pulling a fresh batch out of the back.Enjoy!

Best cinnamon bun I have ever had. Thank you Dexter for going above and beyond to make me a cinnamon bun after you sold out. Your friendly smile made my day.

First time here today! Although it was raining, we decided to wait in the long line to give it a try, and we were not disappointed!!Line went fast, great customer service, and delicious gourmet donuts. The average cost of the donuts were $3.50-$4, but were so fresh and melted in my mouth! We tried the classical glaze, Apple fritter (made with fresh apples and not pre-made sugary filling), a maple bacon donut and cinnamon roll.All of the treats we tasted were worth the price and wait!

The place looked nice, and the donuts were nicely decorated but pricey. I got 4 different one for us to try and was sorely disappointed. All I tasted was sugar....no real flavor, just sugar bombs.

Omg, this place is to die for! The donuts are incredible, cant wait to try new flavors next weekend and maybe try one of their savory sausage rolls. Im drooling just thinking about it...

They do have the GOODS! Their donuts are pretty good in size. I enjoyed the flaky croissant with ham, cheese, and jalepeno. I recommend you warming it up. My iced coffee drink is okay.

The Goods feels so homey. A friendly staff and simple decore. Since its the same owner as Cafe Topes I knew it would be delicious. Highly recommend the apple fritter. Its not heavy and greasey, instead it has a soft and light breading with good sized seasoned apples and a thin crispy outer crust topped with a donut glaze. Definitely worth the $4! I can honestly say the best donut shop Ive been to. If you dont like donuts Id recommend the cinnamon roll and get it dirty.

Pillowy, soft donuts with just a hint of sweetness. These donuts were excellent! Try and stop in at least 30 minutes after they open so you can choose from a variety. We got there right at opening to avoid lines and they were still setting up. That is how fresh and amazing these donuts are. Friendly service, greeted with a smile and the powerful scent of fresh donuts. This is a must try!

Its not often you find a place that has good gluten free options for donuts. Its a treat to go there early AM and see many options for Gluten Free and Vegan Donuts. I say go there early AM to make sure they havent sold out of the Gluten Free items. They sell fast. I normally but 2 or 3 and then freeze them so I have a supply during the week.

A friend recommended we try them out and said we would not be disappointed. The space is so inviting and clean. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The donut selection was amazing! Each one we got was delicious. Our coffees were perfect. Will definitely be returning and recommending them to all our friends and family.

The experience was great!! The Donuts were amazing!! You must visit but go early!! The staff was very very helpful and friendly!!

I am giving this a 4 based on my husbands vote. I actually thought a three or three and a half was appropriate, based on flavor, but adding in service and ambiance gives it a boost...The shop is really cute nestled in the Village in Carlsbad. The decor and feel matches the 1920s building, which is fun. The donuts look beautiful in the glass- the colors and sheen of the glazes are really exciting. We got 1 of each kind, which at $3.50-$4.00 each, well, thats more than I spend on my clothes. We took our precious box of beautiful doughnuts home, as indoor dining has been eliminated.We cut the donuts into sample bites and dug in. My favorite was the dulche de leche. It is a nice cakey donut with a carmely tasting glaze that wasnt too sweet or salty. We went onto the plain glazed with sprinkles, chocolate ganache, some really sour pink one, and then onto the creme filled-Vanilla and nutella. Upon cutting them open, there was really very little cream. This turned out to be my sons favorite, because everything else was just soooooooo sweet. We sliced into the lemon berry, which in contrast to the creme filled, was overloaded with berry-lemon filling. I really wanted to love it, but the sweetness made my teeth literally ache. I could hear them begging to jump out of my mouth.The chocolate ganache and Boston creme were both good. Tasted just like they should.I was really excited for the Cherry pop donut, which was fun because it is served with popping candy, but other than that was just another nicely textured raised donut with a really overly sweet glaze.So my review- the donuts look really fun and taste fine. The glazes are too sweet for my personal taste, however, maybe if I was just having a bite of one donut....The customer service is fantastic. The staff is very friendly and patient despite being swamped with customers. They did an excellent job of keeping people spaced due to COVID. The decor and presentation is also fantastic. I just wish I was a more impressed with the flavors. I feel that the excellent texture of the cake was lost in the excessive sweetness of the various glazes.This is a great place for overall experience and a sweet treat that will make any kids eyes pop. Just doughnut alone, its fineOh- gluten free and vegan varieties!

Best donuts around. We went to other shops in the area and we loved this one the most!

Love love The Goods. Staff, location, atmosphere, coffee and donuts are just top notch. My all time favorite from here is the Vermont Maple and Bacon glazed donuts, finger licking good. Pair with a coffee and close your eyes, guarantee it will taste like a full breakfast meal in your mouth. Great place to pick up some donuts and sit out on the beach and indulge or just bring them home to share, becareful to not eat them all on the way home 🤪. I fully recommend this place, its no wonder why they also own Cafe Topes, two great places to visit while in the village.

Need a GF baked good fix? Check this place out! Many options. The Tropical Cheesecake is yummy. I swear the cake part on that one has a similar flavoring to angel food cake, which I love.

My family and I love getting donuts from the Goods on the weekend. If you go on a weekend morning prepare for a bit of a line...but the wait is always worth it for us. Favorite donuts: Apple Fritter, Chocolate sprinkles and Boston Cream. Also Smores and Peach Fritter (seasonal).

Latte was good. I’d like to try one of the donuts next time I have the stomach for it

Amazing donuts and amazing experience! We have been going for years. Our daughter was diagnosed with Celiac disease so it’s been tough finding special treats for her. They have gluten free donuts that are baked instead of fried so they don’t go in the same oil as the regular donuts. The staff was amazing by using separate utensils and boxing hers separately. We know they can’t guarantee that there will be no cross contamination but the fact that they try so hard and we’re so nice about it really made her experience special. She has had no symptoms after the times we have taken her there for donuts. Thank you!!

Amazing tasting products. Got 6 different ones and all were delicious! If you are in carlsbad do yourself the favor and stop in to experience this.

Freshly made specialty donuts and Andrew was so accommodating. He makes the perfect latte. And the cinnamon roll is Huge!

Yummy! Extra friendly staff. Took my dad, he loved it too. We had the maple with bacon crumbled on top dangerous 🍩 😏

Best donuts Ive ever had. Better than Voodoo Donuts if you can believe that. Filling and icings off are off the charts. Get the Oreo!!

Very good gluten free donuts. Friendly staff.

Staff is very friendly and helpful!! Got what I came for with great service, what else can you ask for?

You can tell they use the best ingredients for their donuts. Absolutely delicious.

This isnt your typical donut shop. They have gluten free and vegan flavors (AMAZING by the way, best gluten free donut Ive ever had in my life! So fluffy and moist) and rotating gourmet flavors. Get here sooner rather than later, they do sell out! Im coming back here for sure. Everything was so good.

Donuts are incredibly beautiful but a bit lacking in flavor.

Some of the best and most unique donuts youll find in San Diego county.

Not everyone makes good donuts— they do! The glazed is unbelievable. My husband really loves the seasonal berry filled donut (and he’s not even a filled donut guy!)

Maple bacon donut. Smore donut. Nutella filled donut. Coffee. Exactly what I want in a vacation breakfast spot. Beautiful Cafe. Friendly staff. Very clean and orderly.

Amazing selection! Loved the crackerjack donut and the churro cruller.

Overall really happy with this place. Weve tried a lot of donut places around SD county and this is in our top 2 along with donut bar in downtown SD. The donuts all had a great flavor and texture and for $3-4 apiece i thought it was fair. The reeses peanut butter was a great balance of flavors without being too rich or sweet but it was super messy with the whipped filling. Pink champagne was sweet and citrusy and had a nice berry flavor. The maple was good too, but i wish it was a little less sweet and a little more like rich maple. Definitely coming back to try more.

First time here. Asked whats most popular coffee, was recommended latte. Ordered 2 hot lattes, very disappointing... can barely taste coffee flavor at all, it tasted like pure heated milk...

Its a super cute little coffee shop. We got the lavendar donuts. I wasnt sure I was going to like it, but it was amazing!! The workeds were super nice too. Highly recommend.

Favorite local donut shop. Love all the seasonal donuts they offer, in addition to their variety of staple flavors! So so yummy!

The maple bacon 🥓 doughnut 🍩 is to die for!! Soo goood @ the goods.

My entire experience at The Goods was 5 stars from beginning to end; friendly staff that greeted my family upon entry; a nicely displayed variety of donuts with detailed descriptions; the soft velvety blue seating area; a very picturesque atmosphere; and not to mention a bathroom door that welcomes everyone from mermaids to centaurs!Back to the donuts...I tried the “Special” and it was a fresh, soft, flavorful, sweet, custard filled, topped with blueberry cobbler donut. It was filling, satisfying and the best donut I’ve ever had. If you’re in the Carlsbad area, The Goods is a must see (taste)!

Another amazing “go to” place in Carlsbad. The Churro donut is off the hook!!! I could eat a dozen of these bad boys! And then you have the maple bacon!!! This is how you ruin your health and smile at the same time!!!

These donuts are gigantic and creative. The donut itself was not the best, it was kinda dry. It is a pretty shop though!

Best donuts 🙌🏼 So fresh and delicious!The blueberry lemon donut didn’t disappoint and the strawberry fritter was so crunchy on the outside and soft inside!Next time for sure going to order more than 2 donuts!!

The most delicious donuts I’ve ever tasted. Strawberry Cheesecake is my favorite one! Their coffee is great too.

Sinfully delicious donuts and excellent service - what more can one ask for on a beautiful morning in Carlsbad?

Great place For a morning coffee and wonderful donuts. Nutella Buttercream!

The donuts looked fun. One claimed to be a root beer float donut. I still ponder this. We were here to get cold caffeinated beverages late in the afternoon. Basically, the worst timing to show up to not annoy workers. The woman making our drinks was kind and in spite of the ice machine not being fully operational, our annoying timing and what appeared to be a fairly physically painful drink making experience--we left with two lovely cold caffeinated beverages. The barrista was a saint.

What a great find! Weve tried a variety of donut shops from coast to coast and have not come across one as delicious as The Goods. We are visiting from out of state and came back every day we were in town. The comments from the friends and family with us were: Better than any donut Ive ever had ever.; I would literally drive 7 hours to get these donuts again.; The staff there are wonderful.; and Sweet but not too sweet, just perfect.. Also, they continue to bake fresh donuts every half hour throughout the day so no matter what time you visit, there are always fresh donuts! Well be back for sure.

I thought their decor was cute, the donuts were yummy and fresh also loved their selecton and service

They have a variety of fancy doughnuts! The creme brulee one is very good!

Very mediocre donut shop. 4 different donuts with the same opinion. Im not sure if the turnover rate is low but felt that it was not fresh. Almost $20 for 4 donuts take a hard pass at this place. P.s. Im not skinny unlinke their clientele so you can trust me.

Beautiful shop, incredible staff, decadent donuts! New favorite donut (and bomb coffee) stop

I have been experienced doughnut bliss. I have had many many doughnuts in my life, but so far, the Goods are my favorite. They are opened until they run out. The doughnuts are made right there behind a glass. I bought the Peanut butter chocolate and the fresh berries. I dont eat bacon anymore, but THEY MAKE A BACON MAPLE DOUGHNUT, sorry for yell, but it looked so yummy. I will be back. Oh get there early, or the little lady might get them all. They have big size boxes.The staff is very friendly.

One of the best donuts in San Diego on par with nomad. Donuts are about 3 to $4 each. Vegan Donuts are also available. Yeast donuts and Cake Donuts are also available. one of the best donuts is the double chocolate or cream donut. Overall an excellent donut shop.

This review is on behalf of my nine-year-old son. He insisted on a five star review and is in a state of bliss soon to be sugar coma. Very happy with funfetti donut topped with cake pieces.

We’ve had a tough time finding a place with true gluten free donuts. Usually, we find that a place will have gluten free ingredients, but have a common preparation area (not good for Celiacs). Well guess what, they have you covered here! Gluten free ingredients AND a separate preparation area!These donuts are so awesome! Had to try a bit of all of them because they have such awesome flavors. The cinnamon rolls are HUGE! They also have a donut that is a churro in the shape of a donut - but soft and delicious. You have to try this place out, they have The Goods (pun intended).

I have never seen someone glow while eating a donut until I shared these donuts with friends. They are definitely top of the line. And the name of this company is right on the money. They have The Goods!

Really good GF donuts, Maple rocks. Just remember not to eat too many, there is some serious sugar in these and you could go in to shock. Dont come on an empty stomach. Coffee is Ok, not great. I think they need a new roaster to bring up the coffee quality to match the donuts, will be back for donuts but maybe not for coffee. Ciao

This place was great. It was actually recommended by Janey at Garcias Barber Shop across the street while cutting my hair. My wife having a gluten intolerance which makes having the occasional doughnut very difficult. The Goods offers a wide variety of GF options. When they didnt have the GF Boston creme available they were able to put one together on the spot. It was quite a treat for her to be able to enjoy a doughnut and coffee. I had the tropical cheesecake doughnut and it was really good. The doughnut was fresh and it had a great flavor combination of sweet and tart. Well definitely be back!

Carlsbad Village is evolving into a cool town with happening places to hang, eat, drink and so on. THE GOODS just opened a few weeks back, 8-2017 LOVE the inside look, clean, white, brite, funky contemporary. They offer a homemade style donut with modern flavors. Lots of friendly help, regular coffee and espresso drinks. Plenty of seating, comfy blue banquet and cafe tables with bar and stools in the windows with a few table and chairs outside. Definitley worth a look and a try. #JeffSOLD #Carlsbad

Very cute place, super trendy and picture friendly. The girls working the counter were patient and friendly. I tried the brown butter and strawberry cheesecake flavors, both were great! Everything was great beside the Disney music being played, I don’t mind Disney music normally but it felt out of place and was very loud. Overall, great for donuts and a cute spot though!

Top notch donut spot! Always hunting for the best donuts and this was worth the drive from San Diego.

Legit yummy. If you want some delicious filled doughnut options and gluten-free options this place is amazing!

First time here and couldnt decide what to get. So I got an assortment of four. They are all good but that strawberry cheesecake just took my breath away lol. Wow!

If you want to splurge on fancy donuts, this is the spot! Very good espresso bar as well. Friendly and helpful service from the staff each time.

Unbelievable good doughnuts! The very best ever! The maple raised is so good. So fresh and not too sweet. The maple is a light cream color and not to rich. Its amazing!

Whether it’s juice and smoothies or salads and wraps, The Goods has the goods. Fresh fresh fresh is the name of the game here and that’s what sets them apart from the Jamba Juices of the world.You’ll find friendly service and knowledgeable staff as well.

Super delicious and creative! Absolutely worth the higher price.

Very creative and delicious donuts.

Get that brown butter almond one. Its truly flavorful.

They make their donuts fresh every hour and have new flavors every first of the month. They even have gluten free and gluten-free and vegan options . They also have European croissants on Saturdays and Sundays and I would recommend you come by anytime.

Pretty pricey. We got six donuts for $22. Donuts were good. We enjoyed the chocolate ones and the churro one a lot.

Im not even going to compare these to sidecar. These donuts are in their own category that go well above and beyond your average vietnamese mom and pop donut shop. I had a little sample of the chocolate with sprinkles, cinnamon roll, churro donut, rainbow sprinkles and brown butter donut. My favorite was the churro. It was simple and not so rich. Cinnamon roll was good, but not that warm gooey cinnamon roll you get at the airport cinnamon bon place or silverado cafe. I was looking for that. Im not a fan of cream cheese like frosting either, but it was definitely good. Im happy I got to try it and will go back if Im in town again.

Amazing service, donuts, and coffee. I had my first maple donut in years because of celiac. This donut was so fluffy and delicious! Yum! The oat milk latte was fantastic as well.

This place is fantastic. I had been researching desserts in the Carlsbad Village as we were preparing to travel there, well when we finally arrived to The Goods we were so happy to try these famous donuts. The place is beautiful, clean and pretty hipster. Great customer service as well.

Taste, value, custom service excellence 👌. Best donuts in town.

Great place good atmosphere i really liked the brown butter donut and the maple bacon, the coffee is excellent

Delicious, freshly made donuts and coffee.

The donuts here are amazing. The maple bacon donut is the best I’ve ever had and believe me I’ve tried a lot in my days... Staff was awesome. Great experience

Amazing gluten free lemon poppyseed donut! Definitely coming back. Coffee just okay.

Best donuts in Carlsbad! They even have gluten free! Go support them right now! They were broken into and need the community to help out.

Best donuts I’ve ever had. Very fresh, definitely worth the money!

This is the best donut place in Carlsbad! We go there every day while we visit there! The gluten free donuts are to die for (especially the lemon poppyseed! Hint hint make them every time I’m there!) and I’m not gluten intolerant! I just love them. And the Nutella.... oh boy, now I’m drooling on my phone!

Awesome! They have the best donuts with a variety of fun and different flavors. They also offer a selection of gluten free donuts.

What a fine example of an accurate trendy/delicious ratio. Seriously, it’s important. We live in a world where if you look pretty you think you don’t have to try as hard. Well take a seat, Kylie Jenner, because The Goods just showed you what’s up. I had a fantastic experience here, and between the blue velvet couches and delicate raspberry frosted donut I think I may have recommitted myself to carbs.

GF boston creme was 🙌. Great coffee too!

Never been here. Will be back! Amazing!

Super friendly staff. Even got two donuts free! Also I love a Boston creme donut, I get one at every donut place. And this was easily the best Boston creme Ive ever had. The custard filling was exactly what Ive always dreamed, actual custard - not that pudding stuff like at Dunkin.

The only people more passionate about donuts than me. I love this place, a must visit if youre looking for a delicious treat in the Village.

Was looking for Starbucks and came across this gem. Fresh donuts, hot coffee, clean dose and friendly staff. Asked for the Chocolate Ganache donut... they have gluten free and raised. The man behind the counter was very helpful and got me what I wanted.

The place itself is so cool! They have great options to choose from and even made me vegan donuts when I went in there. The staff was very friendly and helpful!

I travel all over the United States and make it a point to try out as many donut shops as I can. This is easily one of the top best donut shops. The donut I got was so flavorful. The coffee is also amazing.. I got an Americano. I will definitely be back 😋

Great donuts, even offers gluten free options! A bit on the pricier side per donut (3-4 bucks) but worth a try!

Amazing doughnuts!!!

My husband & I are a tad addicted to their vegan donuts! Theyre expanding their creations from their scrumptious churros & coconut to chocolate & our favorite so far, their berries donut! Theyre moist like a cake & shaped like a donut! Jammed packed with flavor! We cant wait to see what else they come up with for us vegans! Here some hopeful suggestions: Tiramisu, Cannoli, Dulce de Leche, Pecan Praline, Glazed/Maple Glaze.

Great selection of donuts that simply melt in your mouth.

The donuts and Stumptown coffee are a perfect mix. Love the decor.
