For specialty donuts they are very well priced. The donuts are perfectly fluffy and not too sweet so the fun toppings aren't too rich. They do sell out pretty early as they are that good, so go early! They rotate flavors and are super customer service oriented.
We were in the complex and really wanted a treat. I maybe get a donut once a year because I just crave the nostalgia of it, but I generally walk away disappointed. Until...my BF and I got a huge cinnamon snail. The yeasty rise on it was a thing of beauty, perfect, light, just-enough-sweet glaze. Hints of cinnamon. $2. I know, this review is a bit over the top, but Honestly, how often do you get that ultimate perfect bite?
This is a review from someone who is not a donut person and tend to not eat them as it can upset my stomach. If I do, I'm very particular which donut shop I eat from. However, we were in the area and noticed that Dunlop's had sold out and closed up earlier. We were told by some who are from the area that they close early if they sell out. It definitely got us curious and we decided to go the next day. We arrived around 8:30 am, and there was a good crowd already there. The inside was very clean and they had tables and chairs to sit at. I was really glad to notice that they didn't have an overly sweet smell. We got a maple bar and a regular glazed donut to go as we were going to Verve for coffee. The glazed donut was really good! It wasn't overly sweet or oily. It also didn't upset my stomach after, which is a big deal! The maple bar was good and something that can be shared between two people as it's pretty big. We can't wait to visit again to try their other specialty donuts!
Dunlap's is a solid donut choice in pleasure point with a few standout options and friendly staff. Glazed -- this is the way to judge a donut shop. This one is fine, slightly above middle of the road. Not the reason to go however. Maple filled with custard -- maple was mild tasting, custard was quite good. Strawberry and cream (see photo) -- oh my sugar bomb. Messy to eat but somehow addicting. Strawberries are whole. Big enough to share. Breakfast sandwich -- I got bacon and egg on jalapeño bagel and this was the highlight. Fresh bagel and good flavors. Would defn get again. Coffee -- run of the mill but better than you get in some donut shops. Staff were incredibly friendly and patient with us on our first time.
I don't eat dairy and it's rare for me to find donut stores with good non dairy options. Thankfully dunlaps had a few vegan options to choose from! I got the Oreo vegan "cake" style donut! So good!!! Will be back next time I'm in the area!!!!
Best donuts ever! The attention is incredible, always in a happy mood. The place is clean and with a good vibe! I come here every time I want a donut, and I am not a donut person!
We finally got here early enough to get some of their specialty donuts. Their cases were full at 7.30am, but emptied out fast within a half-hour. I got a couple of strawberry and whipped cream donuts that I've been dreaming about for years. It's one big messy creation of deliciousness! Highly recommended. I also had a matcha mochi and Ube that I didn't even know they made. The matcha mochi was also very good. Nice chewy mochi and good matcha flavor. The Ube could of had a bit more of the Ube flavor for me, but was still good. You have to get here early because they sell out fast. There was a line out the door and down into the parking lot at 8am. I love that they give you a choice of coffee, light or dark roast and it's great dark roast. She made our hot chocolate child safe for my granddaughter, we really appreciated that. We love Dunlap's!

I really like the maple bacon. very creative donuts .great customer service. I love how kind Ally is. They even do giant 'Homer Simpson' donuts if you Oder in advance a week for birthdays!!!
Just felt like a yummy breakfast and Yelp brought me here. The place was bright and clean and the workers were super nice. The choices are fantastic and the quality of the donuts are out of this world.
The hubs requested one thing during our Santa Cruz trip and it was donuts, so we found ourselves at Dunlap's before heading back home. First off, decor was so cute! Felt old school and I liked the vibes. As far as donuts, they had a good selection of flavors! We got half a dozen including their cronut, maple bar, chocolate filled with bavarian cream, s'mores, blueberry mochi donut, and a sesame mochi donut. We are also a sucker for croissant breakfast sandwiches, so we got a couple of those too. Everything was delicious! And the server who was helping us out was so kind and patient while we made our selections! She even gave us tips on parking and other things around the area. We had a great experience at Dunlap's and it's a must stop if you're in the Santa Cruz area!
