Comment: The girl who answers is not friendly, it seems like she is doing underwork by force. When she answers the phone, it seems like she answers her personal phone, she hangs up on you and answers when she wants, they need to train their employees.

Comment: My brother and my friend liked it. If you have any allergies to wheat, soy, or corn-Id steer clear. There are other donut places in town for people with allergies. That being said, its one of the oldest donut places in Santa Barbara (with the possible exception of Ellers on Upper State Street). This one is located on Milpas Street and has been serving that area for years. The parking lot is very small. They have great hours, as they are open all the time 24/7. If you have a hankering for donuts and coffee at 3 am or any other time, they will welcome you in.

Comment: The donuts were yummy, and the older lady employee was also very friendly and helpful while we ordered. The bagels were also very soft and big. The reason Im giving it a 4-star rating is because they can clean up the place a bit. The area where you prepared the coffee was messy.

Comment: 10/05/2021 After a cold rainy night camping in the mountains, early the morning I was looking for some hot coffee and breakfast. This shop had reasonable prices for hot coffee. Other places in the area wanted $3.95-$4.95 for a small cup of coffee. I ordered the bacon, egg and cheese bagel combo which came with a donut and coffee for $8.49. The sandwich was full of bacon. It just needed some salt, pepper and mayo to suit my tastes. The donut I chose was lemon filled powdered sugar. It was heavy and generously filled with lemon filling. The donut was lip smacking delicious. They didnt have a lot of choices for cream or milk for your coffee. But they did have my half and half and raw sugar. There is only two tables that seat one or two indoors. And two tables that seat one or two outdoors. There is no restroom available. I parked on the street because the small parking lot was full.

Comment: I walked in the place and the cashier was chit-chatting with a customer. I was in hurry because I had to feed a whole team of about 20 people. I ordered 4 containers of coffee and 4 dozens of donuts. The boss immediately noticed it was a large order and stepped in to help cashier. He helped me carry everything to my car. The atmosphere there was calm and everybody seemed comfortable.

Comment: The staff was great.The donuts were good.My order was priced reasonably.Those are three really good things.....Heres why you should have gotten less than three stars Winchells..... Your parking sucks!Your store is so old and worn out that you cant even tell if its clean or not because its so cluttered, and worn. If youre not going to take care of your store sell it to somebody who will. Its not fair to the customers and its not fair to the employees.

Comment: Rude and fake customer service. Always makes Hispanics in line their food first and serve any other race last. Plus disrespects my coworkers when were all loyal to their morning coffee. These people are the worst employees Ive ever met and this store needs to be evaluated for health concerns. Rehire more a more diverse group of people and let the racest employees go!!!!!!!!!!!Biggest disappointment consistently for 3 months now!CHANGE

Comment: Its June 5 th 2015 National Doughnut Day. so I went in to get some doughnuts for my husband and I. for starters they dont have any parking what so ever. so I had to circle the block to find street parking then to my surprise when I entered they didnt have anything. no glazed doughnuts, no maple bars, no jelly filled, seriously nothing but left over scrapes. and the lady behind the counter just left it as that just kept saying no we dont have it on repeat. not even offering to make anymore so I went down the st to Ellers doughnut house and get my National Doughnut Day fix. would I go back? Never.
