Hook & Press Doughnuts

If you love doughnuts (or even remotely like them), you'll have a field day at Hook & Press. This gourmet doughnut shop in Downtown Santa Barbara offers all kinds of creative—and incredibly delicious—flavors you won't find elsewhere, like tart lemon lavender poppy seed, spicy mango margarita with citrus-tequila glaze, and caramel latte stuffed with a coffee creme that tastes identical to a frappuccino. If you don't have much of a sweet tooth, order the everything bagel doughnut that's coated with savory seasoning and filled with whipped cream cheese.
