31 Best Donuts near Carlsbad

“Got a deal on their mini donuts, but they were from the night before. They were good, but they would have been better selling them at the end of the day the night before. I also bought extra fresh ones and they were yummy. Perfect 2 bite donuts, variety of flavors and they change daily. Service was good and it was in a good court with other vendors, which was a cool spot.“

“Thank you so much for the wonderful Easter donuts!!! Our family truly enjoyed them and as always beautifully decorated. 😀🐇“

“Best 5am service today for my flight back to Atlanta!! BEST YUMMIES!!! She was the nicest server and very kind for 5am!!!!“

“Hill Street Donut House is officially a gem. The young couple that works there is incredibly kind and welcoming, and you can feel the care they put into everything the moment you walk in. The fresh orange juice is unreal — bright, refreshing, and clearly squeezed fresh. And the sandwiches? Absolutely to die for. I ordered the B9 ham, bacon, egg, & cheese sandwich and loved it!

It’s rare to find a place that nails great food and great vibes, but Hill Street Donut House does both effortlessly. So happy to see this spot thriving — I’ll definitely be back again and again!!!!“

They have cool flavors like creme rules, cake batter, ube oreo, maple, toasted marshmallow, apple cider, cherry, glazed and chocolate mochi donuts and a huge variety of bobas! Get your sweet tooth craving filled here!!“

“Tom and Lily are always so kind🙏🏽❤️LEUCADIA DONUTS have the VERY BEST APPLE FRITTERS on the planet 🌎 😋. Tom almost always asks how our triplet sons are since they were born 22 years ago. Our family has been committed customers since 1993!!“

“First time coming into this place after living in Oceanside for 4 years…AMAZING DONUTS! Best apple fritter to ever grace my mouth. Buttermilk donuts were a close 2nd. Got old-fashioned maple and chocolate and others too…HIGHLY RECOMMEND for all your donut cravings and needs. Don’t want this sugar rush to end, but when it does I’ll be back for more. Facility was clean and orderly, and service was great too.“

“My girlfriend and I were visiting for a wedding and stopped in for a snack before the ceremony. The food was amazing, iced coffee had the perfect blend and we had the croissant sandwiches and they were perfect. If you’re visiting and need someone to go for breakfast or just a snack, I’d recommend this place 11/10 times.“

“The staff is incredibly friendly, but most importantly they have amazing donuts. Their blueberry and pistachio donuts are awesome, but my favorite are the Apple Betties... So so good...“

“Such a hidden gem! We've passed Danish & Donuts several times and decided to stop in today after reading the great reviews. Others have shared how stellar the customer service is, and we couldn’t agree more. Sophia instantly made us feel at home and had us smiling and laughing with her the entire time we were there. We left feeling like our cups were full. :)

She let us know their family owned business has been in the community for 40+ years and after trying the donuts it's obvious why. All of the donuts were super fresh, extremely fluffy, and so tasty, while the case and the rest of the shop was well maintained and clean...it's obvious a great amount of heart and care goes into their operation. We chose a variety of apple fritters, donut holes, old fashions, custard-filled, glazed, chocolate, maple, and a cinnamon crunch, cinnamon roll, and sugar twist donut along with a breakfast sandwich. Talk about choices!

I mentioned to Sophia that I had a certain allergy and she immediately offered to special make a modified breakfast option for me without hesitation. We'll definitely be regulars moving forward - support local!“

“Their donuts and croissants are great! I have not had anything like theirs anywhere else. I absolutely recommend this donut shop!!!“

“We have a family tradition of trying donut shops all around San Diego and on our travels. We have found that quality comes with independently owned places where the owners are artisans who make their donuts themselves and whose livelihood depends on their reliable product. Super donuts #2 is just such a place and our favorite donut shop in San Diego. Not fancy on the outside or inside, cash only. Just great donuts.“

“What a delightful place!! I’ve recently moved to the area and I’m thrilled to have this shop so close to me! The owner was SO sweet. I even received a free donut!🙂 I ordered an avocado and cream cheese bagel as well as donuts. Everything was delicious! The best donuts I’ve ever eaten. I’m a loyal customer now!“

“Best donuts in all of San Diego County. All the other great donuts have closed their doors but this one remains going strong. They have the lightest pastry with the perfect amount of frosting. I have been coming here for 25 years. Absolutely the BEST.“

“We stopped by Sam’s Donut Shop because my wife was craving a Boston cream donut, and they absolutely delivered. The donut was fresh, soft, and perfectly filled, with a smooth, rich custard that wasn’t overly sweet and a chocolate glaze that hit just the right balance. You could tell it was made with care and not just thrown together.

Sometimes a place doesn’t need anything flashy—just solid execution—and Sam’s Donut Shop nailed it. If you’re in the mood for a classic donut done right, especially a Boston cream, this spot is well worth the stop.“

“Google searched for a donut shop that was close to the car wash that I frequent prior to going to work on a Saturday morning so I can bring a dozen donuts to share with my coworkers. Mr. Donuts is a donut that I would usually go to that sell just regular donuts (glazed, chocolate, maple, etc...) and not these newer shops that make these "fancy" concoctions like, donuts mixed with some type of breakfast or some other mixed flavored type of donut. So, I just got a mix of maple bars, glazed twists, old-fashioned glazed, sugar, etc...and everything tasted great and fresh. My coworkers and I enjoyed the donuts from here and even one of them said that they've had donuts from Mr. Donuts and her and her family always get donuts from there. So, I do recommend this donut shop. The gentleman, who possibly could've been the owner/donut maker, that helped was very nice and courteous. I'll get his name the next time I go there. I did notice that they sell breakfast types of sandwiches and saw a couple of people walking out with them so I will have to try one next time as well. A great local donut shop that you should go to and try.“

“This place right down the street from my home. I have been going here for years now & will continue to do so. Everyone is very friendly & the donuts are delicious. Yesterday my husband and I stopped by at noon to pick up 3 dozens of donuts to take to our cousins viewing in Tj. We told this to the lady helping us, then she said "wait, let me give you something!" And she gave us 1 dozen donuts for FREE! Her kindness just brought joy to my heart & we thank her for her beautiful action. You all have a blessed weekend.“

“This place is amazing! If you’re in the mood for something sweet after dinner or just want to treat yourself to some fresh sweets, this is the spot for you. They offer a variety of dessert options, but their gourmet doughnuts are what they’re really known for. I tried the churro and another with pistachios, both topped with different types of chocolates and toppings. The prices are reasonable, especially considering how fresh the food is. They also have coffee and other drinks if you’re in the mood. Plus, it’s super convenient, right by the shore and close to lots of shopping.“

“I love coming to this donut café. This is a great place to bring your family, your friends or just passing El Camino Real, the donuts are made in house. They are fresh fluffy, and they use high-quality ingredients. The owner and her family are so friendly, kind and funny. this donut café is tucked into a strip mall off of Stater Bros. The filling in the donuts are always on point compared to the corporate chains. A perfect amount of custard/ icing! The apple fritter is best in show!!“

“The man that was there was super friendly! I'm guessing it was the owner and his wife. I was kinda sad that they didnt have bagels but I tried the vanilla bean smoothie and it was super yummy. Would definitely go again. ??Also very clean!“

“Started driving by Tan’s in 1985 on my way to L.A. 4 in the morning. Always a crumb donut. Mr Tan always greeted me. Retired now , I get by every couple months!“

“Donut Factory is amazing! They have the best croissants in town super fresh, flaky, and delicious. Their donuts are also really good, always soft and tasty. Ms. Lin and her employees are very nice and make you feel welcome every time you come in. Definitely my go-to spot for pastries!“

“Great little local donut shop where the coffee and donuts are the star of the show but there also have speciality juices and sandwiches.

The Bear Claws are especially delicious and fruit stuffed which was a pleasant surprise.“

“Mmmm 😋 the sweet smell and melt in your mouth YUMMINESS makes me feel like a child again“

“The best coffee and it's open 24 hours.“
