The Spudnut Story
A Santa Barbara breakfast legend, born from a simple, delicious twist.
What Makes a Spudnut?
Spudnuts are our signature potato-based donuts. The secret is in the dough: we blend mashed potatoes with our special recipe, creating a treat that's uniquely tender, moist, and flavorful.
- Potato-based dough for a richer, denser texture.
- Stays fresh and delicious longer than a traditional donut.
- A unique Santa Barbara specialty you won't find just anywhere.
More Than Just a Donut
While a classic donut is light and airy, a Spudnut offers a heartier, more satisfying bite. The potato adds a subtle sweetness and makes every batch incredibly moist. It's the perfect companion to our freshly brewed coffee and a must-try for any breakfast lover.
Open Mon-Tue 5:00 am - 5:00 pm
