Customer Reviews

The wife and I broke up some donuts between us and it was all really great. Honestly I loved the Mexican Hot Chocolate donut the most, it has some kick! It was a really friendly atmosphere and the gal working with us was really nice. It was comfortable to sit and enjoy the music and listen to the city wake up. Fresh flowers on the table was a beautiful touch!

????Fort Bragg is so LUCKY to have their very own artisan donut shop. ?? Twin sibling owned. We met one of the owners, Heidi, who was super sweet. She took the time to chat with us and even offered to take our ??. ????????? Chocolate raised, Vanilla raised, Buttermilk, Chocolate Hibiscus Orange cake, Strawberry ?? Cream Malasada. Flavor, textures and freshness on point. Not too sweet. Top tier! ?? We're foodies and work in the industry. We can honestly say that we havent had delicious donuts like this in a

Awesome donuts. A bit pricey per don't but I'm getting to expect that from the coast. Got several donuts and all were exceptional. None of them were overpowering in flavor, but just the right amount. Loved the hibiscus orange. I could eat their yeast donuts plain as they're that good.

Get there early! The donuts are delicious, especially the Mexican hot chocolate. Fritter Fridays are great too.

A charming little donut shop with unique donut flavors! Although they do serve some traditional donuts the majority are artisan flavor filled donuts. The cinnamon roll is to die for but you better get there early they go quick. I really enjoyed the blackberry doughnut. Inside the donut shop is a lot of unique art. It?s donut related art I believe the workers told me it was from an artist out of Hawaii. The staff is very friendly. Just a warning the coffee it?s pretty basic nothing to write home about but if

The fonts at Drop in Donut we're most excellent. They offer mostly raised donuts and the flavors are unique, a couple we had we're the eggnog and coffee flavored donuts. The cute venue is certainly inviting and the woman running the place was very nice. I highly recommend Drop In Donut!

As a donut lover this place was good and a great surprise for Fort Bragg. Nothing like a shapeshifting donut menu to keep you guessing which delicious item will be offered. We sampled a blueberry, mocha, vanilla and cinnamon sugar. The mocha had zero coffee flavor unfortunately. The donuts are something of a mix between a classic yeast fluffy donut and a brioche challah bread. 5 stars next time for more flavor! They were cash only which caught me off guard.

I LOVE THIS PLACE! Incredible doughnuts. Heidi and Pablo are wonderful. The place is comfortable and clean. You can taste the real fruit they use instead of the canned stuff other places use. All the doughnuts aren't overly sweet and have a lot of flavor.

They accept cards now!! Very affordable donuts, we love them and the unique flavors every week is such a great concept. The donuts are freshly made and are very simple (just the top glaze as all the flavors) but yet, they are delicious and puffy. Show up early to get your donuts before they sell out. We go there once a week and it is our morning attraction when we have friends visiting. The staff is super friendly and they just changed the layout, which is great.

Great Donuts. That Cinnamon Roll was good. Enjoyed the donut holes. Kids loved the donuts.

Amazing donuts! I tried the strawberry donut and it was absolutely delicious. The shop itself is cute and excellent service as well!

Those are probably some of the best donuts I've ever had! The cake Donuts aren't heavy at all, and their yeast Donuts are sturdy without being heavy! We had a lot of different variety, but my favorites were the Mexican hot chocolate and the coconut. The Mexican hot chocolate was hands down my favorite donut I've ever had. Be warned, it has some spicy heat on the outside! FANTASTIC!!

This is a popular spot, it was busy when we went. I got a hot chocolate and a coffee doughnut. The doughnut was perfectly cooked, deliciously chewy on the inside and crisp on the outside. It was amazing.

Great donuts and the best coffee in Ft. Bragg! I had the raspberry buttermilk donut and it was full of real fruit flavor and the bake was crispy yet light. The owner is sweet and cherful. A true authentic hidden gem worthy of a visit.

I got a couple donuts, they were delicious. The coffee kinda tasted like hot water

Best Donuts I've ever had! They didn't have all the "normal" flavors you would expect at a donut shop, but I tried bites of multiple types in my group and they were all phenomenal! The consistency and texture were just great. HIGHLY RECOMMEND if you find yourself in that neck of the woods!

Good donut place. I preferred my cake donut and buttermilk donut to the others we got. Buttermilk was excellent and highly recommend. The eggnog was way to sweet for my taste but that?s me. Menus changes regularly I guess. My daughter was disappointed there was not glazed. Coffee and lattes were good

The donuts were delicious. Missed the rush but still a good variety. The Mexican hot chocolate flavor was subtle with a little spice kick.

Wow, just wow. I'm new to the area and D.I.D. was definitely on my food list. I am beyond impressed. Incredibly friendly staff, fun options all around (I had an orange ginger blossom donut and apple cider cake donut), but plenty more to choose from. The apple cider cake was especially delicious and worth the trip in itself. Shops like D.I.D. are the lifeblood of Small Town America and is definitely worth a trip if you're in California!

Best Donuts Ever!! Love their daily specials like cinnamon rolls, honey buns, apple fritters, donut bread pudding etc. but know they go fast. Get up early because they sell out, esp on holidays like today! So grateful to have them in the hood, they?re a sweet family owned biz well worth supporting?.??????

Such a little gem and such warm customer service! Definitely worth the long wait, as they are the only donut shop in town. We tried the vanilla with chocolate sprinkles (which was my absolute favorite) maple bacon, Meyer lemon, strawberry, and 5 spice sugar. Love the unique glazes, they were all delicious. If you?re craving a treat to pair with your morning coffee, make sure you give this spot a try!

Cute place. Friendly staff. Terrible donuts. I had high hopes for Drop In Donut, as they are the one and only donut shop in Fort Bragg. The selection is very limited, which wouldn't really be an issue if the donuts were good. On the contrary; they are incredibly thick, dense, and chewy. The icings are just "ok". In addition to being pretty much inedible, they are extremely over priced. We bought only five donuts and our bill came out to roughly $14. I sincerely hope that that moving forward; they either le

I work quite nearby and every couple of weeks I find myself dropping in for Drop In. The donuts are super premium and a variety of flavors. She has recently introduced cake donuts which are also fantastic. Genuinely delicious from a genuinely nice person.

Killer donuts?I?m not much of a sweets guy, but my wife is! So that means I get to objectively taste a lot pastries and donuts. Recently we?ve tasted through some pretty well known donuts places in the Bay Area. Then yesterday we made a pilgrimage to Drop-In Donuts. I did something I?ve NEVER done before. I ate 2 whole donuts. They?re perfect! Not too doughy or yeasty or sweet?just right. The perfect donut! We?ll def be back.

If you are looking for a classic donut shop, this isn't it. If you are looking for a specialty donut shop, this also isn't it. It seems to be trying to straddle the line between the two. It has a rotating menu, of classy flavors. But it only had 7 different options on the menu when I went in. The cinnamon roll was good, and my daughter enjoyed her Vanilla Bean with sprinkles, and I'm curious about the Donut Bread pudding we saw but passed on this time. Maybe next time.

OMG! Best. DONUTS. EVER!

Yum! I have been here a few times! I love that they expanded to have seating! Come in for deliciousness!

Best donuts I have ever had. Delightfully chewy, full of flavor, light like a cloud, and delicious frosting. So far I've tried blackberry, strawberry, an sugar. My mom loved the toasted coconut.

I've been meaning to write a review for months now!! The day I went in I was looking to buy a vanilla latte and I am always weary of how they are going to taste... They had everything I needed: alternative milk and vanilla. I think I went in the day a lady and perhaps her son were working? She very kindly gave me two donuts when I ordered one, and her son or the young boy who was working, made me the best possible latte I could have asked for. As I said, I was weary, and I was soo surprised at how good ever

Drop In has beautiful looking donuts, and delicious coffee. Right now, CoVid has forced them to sell from their front door, so, often, the line looks longer than it is. The highlight is the glazing which, on two donuts (peach and strawberry), were sweet and sugary with only a mild flavor of the fruit it was supposed to represent. Unfortunately, the raised donut cake was without flavor and it was chewy. I want to like a new establishment. I'll come back next time I'm in town.

There wasn't too much choice left after the morning rush, so I had a raised donut with sugar coating. It was good but not much taste to it. They are working on inside seating now which is good because it was totally barren inside. I really wanted a cake donut!

These donuts are worth the 3 hour drive we take each time the craving strikes! Fun flavors and magnificent works of art these donuts, something magical is cooking here at Drop In Donut! The donut with a view

I love drop in donuts! We're so lucky to have this ship in town. The flavors are so creative and delicious, it's hard to choose just one. They're doing a great job handling the recent covid protocol, as well, and I feel very safe in here.

We have been coming here from Sacramento California for a month At a time. donuts and coffee are the best we?ve ever had and the staff are excellent get there early because theySell out fast??

The old fashioned glazed was incredible. Great texture and flavor. Not as dense as a traditional old fashioned and the glaze on top with granulated sugar on the bottom was perfect. Add a piping hot cup of coffee and heaven awaits.

I'm sure the donuts are good. They close at 2 p.m., but only had 6 donuts lefts by 10 a.m., I wonder if making more donuts would be a good idea. Get there early!

If you have the good fortune of dropping in and finding their chocolate chip bread pudding in the case, add one to your order. It?s delicious! Made from donuts and enough to share with another.

Donuts were very expensive and not that great

Some of the best donuts ever...apple fritter was to die for...

Ordered cake donuts. They were soft and fluffy. Not dense like many cake donuts. Definitely would go back.

I thought the donuts were great. I didn't arrive early so I missed some of the options I would have liked to try. I'll be back if I'm ever in the area!

Super tasty and unique donuts. Get there early to get your flavor pick, but you can't go wrong with any of them!

The donuts had more of a heavy cake texture. For 2.50 a donut had expected more. Limited selection on a Thursday at 10.

Underwhelming and overpriced! The donuts were tough and probably at least a day old. Given the price of $2.50 per donut, I was very disappointed. I will not be going back.

Best donuts around, period. Wish they'd stop making cinnamon rolls because I can't keep my hands of them and my belly is going to look like one!

Sadly I actually really like this place but you can't have a donut/ cinn roll place and only bake a few donuts and a few cinn rolls... they open at 8am they are regularly sold out by 930am i mean that's awesome but maybe make more...

You walk in and say 2.50$ for a doughnut!!! Then you eat it and realize why.

Love the delicious variety of donuts here, do drop in and try them! Big, fluffy, and not too sweet!

The only donut place in Fort Bragg. They sell out early. My fave Passion Coconut and Cinnamon Sugar

Not a great donut not really a donut but sugar and I ate it however I am disgusting so what I'm willing to eat shouldn't be anything to live up to.Meh

Delicious, yeasty, full bodied doughnuts with nice and rotational seasonal flavors, very satisfying!

So good. We got a 4 pack for the two of us and the donuts lasted us the whole morning.
