Winchell’s for Donuts and Sandwiches by Ruth Paget
Winchell’s Donut House has three locations in Salinas, California. It is part of a chain with 170 stores plus locations in Guam and Saipan, the largest island of the Northern Mariana Islands in the Western Pacific, a U.S. Commonwealth in the Western Pacific according to its website.
Loyal customers in Salinas know that the stores are open 24 hours a day and serve bagel sandwiches in addition to large, puffy donuts.
I have a recommendation for a combination meal at Winchell’s:
-1 plain donut topped with dark chocolate frosting
-a toasted bagel turkey sandwich (see review below)
-an iced bitter coffee with cream
Winchell’s does delivery in addition to being open 24 hours per day, making it a convenient option for lunches at work.
I tried one of their toasted bagel sandwiches recently and thought it would be a good Friday treat lunch. The sandwich comes with about ¾-inch of turkey slices, 2 crispy bacon strips, pepperjack cheese, avocado slices, and a mustard-mayonnaise.
I think avocados make everything taste better and liked this sandwich. I also like crispy, salty bacon, which made this sandwich double delicious.
A bitter and creamy iced coffee is just the thing to enjoy after a hearty sandwich like this.
Winchell’s donuts are always good with coffee, too, especially when you buy them by the dozen.
Bon Appétit!
