"The donuts was delicious all of them even the ones that was filled Reds donuts is the best donut shop in the world"
"Decided to give Reds a 2nd try & disappointed yet again. Cinnamon rolls were laden with icing & severely lacking in cinnamon. The raspberry filled jelly donut wasn't good either. Reds is overly hyped & their donuts just aren't good. So, from now on, we'll be ordering from Monterey Donuts because when it comes to consistently making great donuts, they're the best in the entire Monterey Bay area."

"My food choices for my order were the potato skillet and the southwest omelette. I was able to make a selection on both entries to personalize without an additional cost. I have to say both of the orders exceeded my expectations as they were flavorful and the ingredients were evident to be fresh; portion size was also more than expected. Visiting from out of town, and have to say I loved this place (order was placed via door dash)!! "
"The portion is very large. I was surprised at the amount of cheese. There was a lot! I just wanted to caution anyone who might be sensitive to cheese :-) otherwise it was a very nice surprise! I love this place because it is all organic. The prices are very reasonable as well, especially since the portions are so large."

"They did not have one of the two items I ordered doordash refunded me, fair . But as far as the bowl I paid $20 for not including taxes and fees, it was dissatisfying. The bowl had gaps so it hadn't been completely filled. The strawberry and coconut base had chunks that were freezer burnt. An the toppings were tiny and sparse."

"The chai is amazing, smooth, spicy and warm. I love El Bistro By the Sea's French toast. I was eager to try the caramel waffle. The amount and diversity of fruit was great.

Dasher Tip:$3.00, Total: $26.63 🤔 Note: At Bagel Kitchen similar order is $25.00 via Door Dash {Meet me in New York & Bagel Dog} Bagel Dog, while ordering I requested for Garlic for the Bagel flavor (Various flavors to choose from ~ Bagel Kitchen you DON’T get a choice it’s wrapped in plain Bagel Dough) Bagel Dog was 🥶 cold as ice🧊 and just plain bagel dough as listed on menu with choices 😖. They shouldn’t have it listed as choices for bagel dough ⭐️ I WOULDN’T ORDER THIS AGAIN! Definitely 1 Star only for the Cold as ice Bagel Dog. The New Yorker, Ordered on an Onion Bagel Toasted, I guess they don’t Toast the bagels still white no signs of bagel being toasted. VERY STINGY with ingredients hardly can see items {Sprouts which charged extra for} in the bagel but they put a EXCESSIVE amount of cream cheese. ⭐️rating for the Bagel. I will probably stick with BAGEL KITCHEN {Meet me in New York} when it comes to ordering this bagel . Overall all ⭐️⭐️stars for Bagel Bakery, I will try at least one more time {Maybe} My go to will be BAGEL KITCHEN….check them out they’re literally across the street from this place. "
