Blueberry Cake Doughnut
Mother’s Day Doughnut with Oreo Cream
Now with four locations, the newest in Paso Robles replacing a closure of its Atascadero store in August 2025, SloDoCo offers “over 100 different donuts. Every. Single. Day.” per their website, with prices ranging $1.95 to $3.95 depending on style.
Strangely an underserved market, DK’s of So.Cal really the only other choice for anything beyond the basics in Paso Robles, SloDoCo resides in a barn-like structure on Spring Street where bags of flour and board games act as décor from 5am till 9pm Monday through Sunday.
Not at all a concise concept, Rings along the back-wall difficult to decipher and those in the case varying significantly, arrival at 8:49am on Sunday oddly found many choices “sold out,” though finding an alternative isn’t so hard when such abundance is available.
Friendly in terms of service, Mother’s Day seeing several decorative options offered, $3.95 for a simple glazed Ring with a dollop of Oreo Cream feels expensive considering all three Yeasted options were no better than those yielded by commercial pre-Mix in terms of consistency.
Equally unimpressed by the Fritter, even a small chunk of Apple hard to find, SloDoCo’s Cruller performs well with a light and custard-y center while Blueberry Cake fares far better than a bone-dry Old-Fashioned cogwheel that may as well have been day-old.
