V G Donuts & Bakery

106 Aberdeen Dr
Cardiff, CA 92007

Rob K. writes: If you think pimples are unappetizing, you're wrong. No matter how many clear-skin-challenged teenagers you may find staring at you from behind the VG's counter, you still can't keep from drooling all over yourself. If you like American-style…

Stardust Donut Shop
Neighborhood: Imperial Beach

698 Highway 75
Imperial Beach, CA 91932

Mike C. writes: These people aren't joking. Their cinnamon rolls are the best I have ever tasted. Yes, BEST! No one can compare. And they really do melt when you bite into them. I just had some today. One thing to remember is that it is not always easy to…

Fresh Golden Donut

10601 Tierrasanta Blvd
San Diego, CA 92124

tim m. writes: Just went here for the first time because I was in the area. This is probably as close to Krispy Kreme as you can get. These donuts were bigger though, and cheaper... and warm as well. So it was better. And they have a bigger selection. If you want…

Leucadia Donut Shoppe

1604 N Coast Highway 101
Encinitas, CA 92024

Josh S. writes: This shop has been here for years and serves some of the best...

Wait, what am I saying?!?! DO NOT GO HERE. DO NOT STAND IN LINE. DO NOT TRY THE KONA COFFEE. DO NOT TRY THE OLD FASHIONED COVERED IN CHOCOLATE, they probably don't have enough for…

Rose Donuts
Neighborhood: Linda Vista

5201 Linda Vista Road
Suite 100
San Diego, CA 92110

Sharin F. writes: When I went to the Comic Con last year, I ate here for breakfast every single day because they had really good coffee and really good coffee is hard to find! We hit the mark with their coffee drink that has like 2 or 3 shots of espresso in it,…

Mary's Donuts
Neighborhood: Santee

9031 Mission Gorge Rd
Santee, CA 92071

Shelly V. writes: This place is an institution in the East County and has been on the corner of Mission Gorge Rd. & Fanita Dr. (next to the 52/125) well over 20 years. Don't judge a book by its cover this hole in the wall shack of a building cranks out the BEST fried…

Chung Hing
Neighborhood: Miramar

7160 Miramar Rd Ste 112
San Diego, CA 92121

Ben P. writes: 5 Stars = I wouldn't mind eating here for the rest of my life.

I'll admit, that most of the items on their menu are good but nothing spectacular. BUT, they're famous for one thing, and it's all they need: BBQ PORK.

What to eat:
BBQ PORK - This is the…

Golden Donut
Neighborhood: North Park

2360 University Ave
San Diego, CA 92104

lauren c. writes: A faded, plastic ring meant to signify crispy batter, sagged above the ordinary, almost invisible font, "Golden Donut," and reminded me more of buying tires than eating sweets, but this covert treasure squeezed four fundamentals of baking into their…

Donut Haven
Neighborhood: Hillcrest

420 Robinson Ave Ste F
San Diego, CA 92103

amber c. writes: i don't really eat donuts; however i occasionally bring them for my students (typically on the days they have to write evaluations of me, ha), and i always go to donut haven. i'm very impressed with the friendly service. the women who operate donut…

Donut Touch

12033 Scripps Summit Dr
San Diego, CA 92131

Al V. writes: Yes, the owner is a smart man he put his shop right next to a busy car wash and gas station! My sons love the glazed donut holes and I'm all over the apple fritters. Right before closing the owner will practically give away his donuts. Order a dozen…

Donut Touch
Neighborhood: Mira Mesa

6755 Mira Mesa Blvd
Suite 106
San Diego, CA 92184

Cat K. writes: Out of all the things I miss about San Diego, this one nearly tops the list! I started coming to Donut Touch when an ex-boyfriend of mine introduced me to it and I have been hooked ever since!

I absolutely love their bagel sandwiches; they have…

O B Donuts
Neighborhood: Ocean Beach

1830 Sunset Cliffs Blvd
San Diego, CA 92107

Marisol R. writes: I can not believe this place has not yet been reviewed. The only thing I can think is that maybe I am breaking some unknown Obecian Code in letting word get out about this fabulous little gem. I have been coming here for years. The owners never fail…

Sunny Donuts
Neighborhood: Kearny Mesa

4646 Convoy St
San Diego, CA 92111

Amy C. writes: These are SUCH great donuts. Rich, buttery, a little crumbly but clingy enough to stick together, just enough glaze, not too expensive ($0.85 each). Old fashioned and buttermilk are excellent, but while I'm sure the rest are great too, I keep going…

Rose Donuts
Neighborhood: Clairemont

7612 Linda Vista Rd Ste 101
San Diego, CA 92111

E F. writes: Donuts are my weakness! Someone brought these to work and it was the best end to a LONG 12 hour night! My favorites are their apple fritter and oroginal glazed. You've GOT to go...TOMORROW!

Best Donut & Yogurt
Neighborhood: Clairemont

4714 Clairemont Mesa Blvd
San Diego, CA 92117

Alissandra L. writes: Uhh, well, the name says it all. I'm not a fan of the coveted Krispy Kremes, and Best Donuts has the perfect balance of sweet but not so sweet your teeth start hurting. It's a true "hole-in-the-wall" inside the Diane Shopping Center, but I've yet to…

KD Donuts
Neighborhood: Gaslamp

711 4th Ave # 3
San Diego, CA 92101

Erin D. writes: This review may be useless in a sense.. KD's has been closed for some time, but I just wanted to pay homage to an awesome donut shop that was run by an extremely nice couple. Here's to you Mr. and Mrs. KD! Im sorry I never caught your names!

I once…

Heavenly Donuts
Neighborhood: Del Cerro

5132 Waring Rd
San Diego, CA 92120

Mel S. writes: Great donuts and the price is right. I'm lucky to have them just down the street. I especially like the apple fritters and devil's food ones. Sometimes on Sundays I stop in and get a fritter and 4 donuts (not all for me) and it's under $4, which…

Winchell's Donut House
Neighborhood: Miramar

6912 Miramar Rd
San Diego, CA 92121

Gary D. writes: Winchell's seems to have fallen by the wayside but I still think they're an okay outfit. Most donut shops cater to the horrible Starbuck's crowd with their fancy coffees and gourmet this and that. But Winchell's h as always been about no frills…

It's A Grind Coffee House

204 N El Camino Real
Ste H
Encinitas, CA 92024

Jay D. writes: I've got some work to do today so to jump start it, I headed on down to It's a Grind, a relatively new shop in town. It's been here for a year now, but I never went for various reasons - it's not that accessible to my normal route, and when I do…

R B Donut & Sweets Shoppe

16713 Bernardo Center Dr
San Diego, CA 92128

Maria T. writes: The first time I walked in here about a year ago I was checking its potential out for a weekly morning office meeting I ordered catering for. They had a wide selection of donuts and some muffins, but I was looking for bran muffins as I had a few…

Fresh Donuts
Neighborhood: San Carlos

8680 Navajo Rd
Ste 111
San Diego, CA 92119

Michael R. writes: The extra "h" Ray R. mentions may be my favorite thing about this place. That's right my friends, it's not called "Fresh Donuts" but "Freshh Donuts." As if an extra "h" suggests it's extra fresh.

My roommate and I got a dozen donuts for just the two…

West Coast Donuts
Neighborhood: Otay Mesa

3303 Palm Ave
San Diego, CA 92154

Joel G. writes: pros...great place to get some good donuts in the morning. if you like the very light and airy donuts. i love the plain sugar, and maple bars. and the owner's daughter is really cute and loves my dog chuchu. the service is quick and donuts are…

OB Donuts
Neighborhood: Ocean Beach

1830 Sunset Cliffs
Ste C
San Diego, CA 92107

Albert W. writes: This mom and pop donut shop has much more than just ring-shaped sweets! Their 8-item bagel-centric breakfast menu is really nice and the Lox bagels with Nova Scotia salmon are delectable. A bit odd to have New York style bagels in an Asian-owned…

Donut Stop
Neighborhood: Mira Mesa

9330 Mira Mesa Blvd
San Diego, CA 92126

Erich L. writes: Gotta love donut shops. Some of them are nice and pretty like Donut Touch off of Flanders near the Shell gas station, and some of them are like a walk back into time, like you were in bizarro world or something. This one falls in the latter.

Donut Star

601 W Washington St
San Diego, CA 92103

Lyn P. writes: I love that this place is open 24 hours. (Because sometimes, after a night of drinking, you want to skip the tacos and just get some sugar.)Bonus love for them serving boba teas. And that they never seems to be out of my favorite - strawberry french…

Lucky Donuts House
Neighborhood: Pacific Beach

909 Grand Ave Ste 8
San Diego, CA 92109

Jed S. writes: This is a donut shop. Not that much to it. I'm no donut connoisseur, but I feel comfortable saying that the Lucky Donuts House is a house of passable donuts and nothing more.

I didn't see any jelly-filled powdered donuts when I went. That was slightly…

Finest Donut
Neighborhood: Golden Hill

1015 25th Street
San Diego, CA 92102

scott p. writes: Another shop in my hood. I've been to "Finest Donuts"- which I want to call "Linda's" for some reason? maybe that is the name on the sign?- maybe twice in the three years I've lived in Golden Hill. Anyway- this is a standard issue laotian donut…

Golden Donuts the
Neighborhood: La Jolla

4041 Governor Dr
San Diego, CA 92122

Chi W. writes: Jay D sounds a bit harsh.

Golden Donuts is owned by a Cambodian Chinese couple. So obviously they are not mass producing donuts like KKreme. The place is old style and the selection is not vast. The donuts are 70 cents each.

The woman roughly in her…

Finest Donuts

526 N 2nd St
El Cajon, CA 92021

Miss Josephine Z. writes: "Finest" you say? Well guess what? I've had better.

Krispy Kreme Doughnuts
Neighborhood: El Cajon, Bostonia

141 Broadway
El Cajon, CA 92021

Miss Josephine Z. writes: This Krispy Kreme location is closed and all I can say is GOOD RIDDANCE!
