The Goods

This is a small place and "small but mighty" comes to mind. I really enjoyed all of the donuts that we had from here and the coffee was excellent as well. They have a little merch shop up front where they sell some very interesting shortbread cookies in addition to other items. We stopped on our way out of town and I am so glad we did. The Boston cream was made with a not-too-sweet chocolate ganache and a very tasty vanilla cream. The churro cruller was fantastic: the cruller was perfect: crunchy outside and tender (almost "custardy") on the inside with a nice dusting of cinnamon sugar. I'l definitely be back, though if this place were in my neighborhood, it would be dangerous!

We stopped by randomly while visiting the Carlsbad Village one early Sunday morning and it was poppin-- this is a sign The Goods, must really be good !Upon entering, it was cute and cozy . Everything looked clean and there were about 4-6 tables with bench shared seating on one side and a few options for dining outside . There was a line that was kind of all over the place--I was a bit confused on where it started . I walked in on the side where the cash wrap was on my right, so the line started at the opposite end, but it just looked like one big blob . Once we were in line, things were smoother . We were helped by a rather timid employee and while she was kind, it was really difficult to hear her over the glass shield as this was our first time visiting . After finally placing our orders, we payed $25 for 4 pastries, and luckily found seats inside-- let me tell ya about them !JALAPENO HAM AND CHEDDAR CROISSANT-- The croissant itself was sooo fresh, buttery, and perfectly crisp . There was even a cheese blanket that had crisped up on the bottom that they had left that was a nice delicious surprise . Flavors came together well and was such a lovely bite-- highly recommend for the savory pastry lover ! CINNAMON ROLL-- This was probably the largest and most fluffiest cinnamon roll I've ever seen ! After the first bite, I was shocked to learn the frosting was not too sweet, and just how we liked ! It was the perfect amount of cream cheese and sugar that complimented the chewy bun . We really enjoyed this one a lot !NUTELLA BUTTERCREAM-- Another amazing donut ! I really admire the balance of not too sweet -- it really gives the light to the fresh made fluffy dough . Nutella buttercream was a DREAM !CLASSIC GLAZED-- Simplicty at its finest . MUST TRY !Overall, we're really happy to randomly stumble upon The Goods, as we definitely will be returning customers . I honestly can't wait to stop by again soon and try the rest of their menu and coffees out !

in the wonderful world of farm-to-table (or more correctly fryer-to-fat-guy) donuts, how did banana cream pie donuts wind up with limited seasonal availability?if you live in a tropical banana republic, does the availability of freshly picked fruit mean the long harsh winter is finally drawing to an end? does the mellow yellowing mean the country's brutally oppressive government's going to demand plantation owners provide benefits and pay a living wage?does THE GOODS use exclusively North Dakota-grown bananas? is that closely guarded secret being withheld from the general public? will Senate Republicans block hearings to look into the matter? what about their S'MORE donuts? can you get good, vine-ripened marshmallows in early August? does the torrent of existential questions raised by their seasonal donut menu diminish the amazingness of the goodies at THE GOODS?negatory. they're still effing delicious.

The Goods is definitely an upscale donut experience (prices reflect this) but I'm quite happy we tried the spot. While the Vermont Maple donut was average, the Chocolate Ganache was absolutely phenomenal. I love, love dark chocolate and the flavor and texture of the ganache was just incredible. Not too sweet - just perfect. My husband enjoyed his Boston Cream and his Churro Cruller. I love milk with my donuts but usually you can never get good milk at donut places. For maybe the first time in memory, The Goods offered a cold, delicious glass of nonfat milk - exactly what I wanted. I'd love to come back and try some other flavors - but I'd have to get another Chocolate Ganache, of course.

Awesome place right in the heart of the village. The donuts here are a bit in the pricey side but are absolutely delicious. The service is always stellar and the ambiance shines. The brown butter is likely the most basic looking but it changes the whole donut game when it comes to flavor. Highly recommend.

Yummy donuts with a good amount of options and fun seasonal flavors!We got the apple fritter (delicious with good slices of apples in there) and the seasonal blueberry jam filled and glazed donut (I love blueberry and it did not disappoint).Also shared a salted caramel latte, was pretty watered down. Would happily get donuts and check out new seasonal flavors but would skip the coffee next time.Inside is fairly small but cute and we were able to get a seat which was nice!

DOGGIE DONUTS!!Went in on a weekend morning and the place wasn't terribly busy, just steady. There was a selection of everything but the amount was limited. If you want something specific, the earlier the better. I tried a cinnamon roll and Strawberry Shortcake Donut. The cinnamon roll wasn't better than a Little Debbie Honey Bun. The Strawberry Shortcake Donut was good. Both items seemed to me as if they were made the day before and left out as they were kinda dry. Overall, I would look for another donut shop.

Loved the vibe! The chocolate ganache donut was delish! Customer service was great, they were very personable and greeted each customer.

We were in the area and in desperate need of some good coffee. We decided to give this place a try. My husband got a Cortado and I got an iced Americano. They make the drinks right in front of you so I watched everything the young lady was doing. I asked for cream in my Americano and she handed me a carton of half and half. It was a little unprofessional, but I guess that's how they do their creamer. The espresso that day was more on the bitter side. I also got 2 donuts, they were ok. I was hoping for more of a sidecar donut taste, but these were a little less cake like.

Stumbled across this spot last weekend, and enjoyed some insanely fresh, sweet doughnuts!The shop has some seating inside, as well as a few tables outside. Quite a few people came through while we were there, but they kept things moving and it never felt too crowded.There were a ton of options to choose from in their case, including some savory pastries, cruffins, cinnamon rolls, apple fritters, and of course doughnuts. I opted first for the maple bacon, which had an amazing balance of sweet and smoky flavor. The s'mores doughnut was out of this world -- topped with a rich chocolate frosting, torched marshmallow, buttery graham cracker cake, and packed with a marshmallow filling. The doughnut base was perfectly doughy and fluffy, which was an added bonus.
