WHO WE ARE

Hook & Press is an artisan shop that focuses on scratch-made, craft donuts as well as a small, thoughtfully curated morning cafe menu. We use high quality ingredients and rotate our donut flavors to showcase the best of what’s in season. Naturally, we avoid artificial ingredients and preservatives wherever possible because our customers deserve the best! We hold our beverage program in as high regard as we do our donuts, serving Santa Barbara-based Coastal Coffee Collective coffee drinks and locally crafted beer and wine. But we firmly believe that what keeps people coming back to Hook & Press is our obsession with providing an outstanding customer service experience. We strive to be a place that welcomes every guest with a smile and serves up good vibes, great drinks and amazing food and donuts each time.
