This no-frills shop has been turning out simple, fresh donuts since 1968, and the donut holes alone are worth the trip. Expect friendly owners, classic flavors done right, and a charming mom-and-pop vibe.

Blooms End at Neighboring Fields

Petaluma • $

An Eater SF "Best New Bakery" winner slinging seasonal croissants, pies, and cakes from a vintage wagon on a farm stand, complete with picnic tables and roaming goats. The menu changes weekly, so there's always a new reason to make the drive.

BISCUITS & BUNS

BISCUITS & BUNS

A gluten-free bakery turning out buns and biscuits so light and perfectly baked, you'd never know they're made without wheat. Flavors range from blood orange to chocolate birthday cake.

This old-school donut shop serves light, fresh donuts at wallet-friendly prices. Don't sleep on the hot breakfast sandwiches—they're loaded with two eggs.

Point Reyes Station • $

At the heart of Point Reyes Station, Toby's pours lattes inside a working feed barn where you can grab coffee, animal feed, and a jar of local jam all in one stop. The garden seating and '60s hippie charm make it pure West Marin.

Frequently asked questions

How are these desserts in Marin chosen?

I go through what's actually on nearby and keep only the ones worth the trip. Nobody pays to be on this list.

Is everything here still happening?

Finished events drop off the list. Check the listing for times and booking details before heading out.

How can Outgoing help me find something I’ll actually want to do?

Tell me when you’re free, where you’ll be, and what sounds appealing. “Live music near me, somewhere I can sit, under $30” gives me more to work with than “something fun.” You can keep narrowing it down with me.

Do I need an account to use Outgoing?

You can browse these pages without an account. Sign in to save activities and help me learn your taste, so future suggestions have a better starting point.

Is Outgoing free?

Outgoing is free to use. Events have their own admission prices, including some that are free. Check the listing for prices and booking details before making plans.
