50 Best Donuts near Chula Vista

“Me and my wife love this place. Kind, friendly, generous owners.
We used to get donut holes from here 16 years ago as anoying kids with our friends in high school before class started. We're now in our 30s and still live nearby. For the past 16 years, regardless if we were annoying loud teens or high tipping adults... the owners and staff have always welcomed and served us well and with kindness. It's still our go to donut stop <3 This place has genuine soul.“

“The doughnuts are delicious! The variety is great. The staff is friendly & welcoming. Thanks for keeping a New Castle favorite open. I look forward to my next visit.“

“I pass up 3 donut shops to get here. Everything is always big and fresh- the best donuts in Chula Vista! Nice since in this economy, a lot of places are cutting corners- not KD's. They are open Christmas Morning and never disappoint the family!“

“I was really dragging this morning. I didn't even want to get out of bed, I had work today. I went into yum yum to get some coffee. I didn't want Starbucks coffee that coffee is disgusting. I wanted to really strong coffee like Vietnamese or something. I went in there sluggish and down. Moses was there full of energy, gave me a really warm greeting. I told him what what I wanted and he's like what else unfortunately we don't have that but he was so eager to help me and give me whatever I needed. I just got a regular coffee he made sure if I wanted room. I did actually want room for my cream. It seems ridiculous but his body language and his vibe was everything I needed this morning to get my day started. I left there in a great mood from that small interaction and I felt compelled to write him a review. I don't get that from places often, especially nowadays. And I think this man deserves credit for going above and beyond. Just making people days better with warm attentive energy.

I asked for his name before I left and I wanted to write him something. Please do something special for him. I hope management sees this. He's a special guy at least buy him lunch sometime or something really“

“Just purchased 2 dozen of the TWIX speciality doughnuts. While the combination of Krispy Kreme and TWIX is a dream come true, I'm curious as to why these doughnuts are not nearly as soft as the typical chocolate glazed? Just a bit disappointing.“

“I love coming to this spot! The donuts and bagels are always incredibly fresh and delicious, and they make amazing breakfast sandwiches exactly how you want them.

The staff here are so welcoming, quick, and always greet you with a smile. The shop is consistently clean, has plenty of parking, and being open 24 hours makes it the perfect go-to at any time of day. Highly recommend!“

“I like this little doughnut shop..............doughnut here are pretty good...............they have a dining area if you want to eat there.............I usually do............the couple who run it are super nice............only drawback for some is that they are a cash only business..............but their prices are a bit lower than other places in the area............I usually stop by at least twice a week“

“When I go to donut shops, it is usually a grab and go occasion but I came here for the first time and decided to sit in for once. I really like the morning atmosphere, seeing the community come together and also the service demonstrated by the workers to incoming customers. Extremely professional and welcoming.

For the newcomers or passerby, please disregard the negative reviews and try this out for yourself. As a local, this is definitely going to be a regular spot for me and I’m all the way in Eastlake! As far as pricing goes, you get quality donuts that are worth your buck. If you are searching for gourmet donuts, I’d look elsewhere but for someone searching for a cozy experience with consistency, this is the place for you.

The atmosphere, service, and donut quality definitely makes this spot a hidden gem for locals down south.

Experience may vary at time of day*; therefore I recommend visiting in the morning.“

“Mobile Ordering and quick turnaround in ordering..“

“My son comes here all the time as a law student at USD. Came for my 2nd time and wow, what nice people and super excellent doughnuts. I also ordered a sandwich to go and was being annoying as to wether I should get it toasted or not since I was eating half now and half later, they toasted half of it for me without asking. Never in my life have I received such great service ❤️“

“La atencion al cliente muy buena.“

“We love this place. Freshest most delicious donuts I’ve had in a while. Love the croissant sandwiches too!“

“This staff is the best. They are so friendly. The best doughnuts I have had in awhile. If you are in this area be sure and get some these exquisite masterpieces. #bbUnicorn“

“Love everything in here. I meant everything :))
Come check it out and you’ll love it too. Enjoy the everything they made. Staff are so friendly and welcoming and funny too ;)
Coffee is the best!! Love you guys and thank so much for your services.“

“Fantastic customer service!“

“The snacks are fantastic and specialized for those with allergies“

“Love this place! I went to this donut shop 30 minutes before closing and they had a large variety of donuts to pick from, and most importantly they were fresh and tasted delicious. Their donuts have a very unique and comforting taste, I don’t know how to explain it, but you have to try them. In my eyes, the donuts weren’t as big as the other reviews claimed, but they were a good size to say the least. I was pleasantly surprised that a dozen donuts is only $15?!?!! I’ve been going to Yum Yum donuts and I pay $25 for a dozen donuts that are stale, hard, and they often don’t have much variety by the end of the day. I’ve gone to other mom and pop shops and their donuts have also been stale on several occasions, so I was really hoping they wouldn’t be stale, but this place really surpassed my expectations all around. This will be my new go-to donut spot for sure. The employees were very friendly and patient. Do bring cash though because this is a cash only shop, although they kindly accepted Cashapp and Venmo.“

“Hi I recommend this entirely“

“Best donuts for miles and miles around. Happy I made the drive.“

“Working with customers in 92103 I found myself here. One big plus overlooked is they have a nice big parking lot - and that's a big deal in this area.

They made me a breakfast croissant and it was way past breakfast time - thank you. The 2 woman behind the counter were very friendly.

The donuts look great. I'll need to try them next time.

The watermelon smoothie was a bit bland.“

“Always an amazing experience. I love that they offer vegan options that are delicious and unique. It is one of my favorites for donuts! The coffee is quite good too.“

“Donuts Plus is the absolute BEST DONUT SHOP in the area!!! Everything is always fresh and delicious. The owner Lisa and her helpers are so professional, courteous, super hard working people. We wouldn't go anywhere else but Donuts Plus!!!!“

“The best handmade donuts. You can taste the quality of the classic donut flavors. Their apple fritter is like a mix between a cinnamon roll and apple fritter. It’s hands down the best, most authentic donut I’ve ever had. And the owner is a young girl who knows what she’s doing! Friendly customer service.“

“Love getting my donuts from this diamond in the rough. I appreciate the freshness of the donuts as well as the quality of service received by the owner. I feel like family every visit. I feel known and appreciated. Highly recommend this donut shop.“

“Good service, fast and good taste. My husband ordered a c1 and an iced coffee, and I ordered a c3 with Thai tea. The man who helped us had the role as cashier and cook at the same time, and was professional/kind with a homeless man who entered the building.“

“A MUST when you are in San Diego! The doughnuts are thick but not heavy. So tasty!!!“

“Me and my son stopped by as I was craving donuts and ive been here once a long time ago. I came in ordered my food and drink got a few donuts and when it was time to pay I did not have my debit card in my purse I left it at home I was so embrassed and I apoligized for it I told the lady I would be back , luckly I dont live far I came back and she looked surprised lol but they made my food and drink again and I was very aplogitic and the lady was nice about it and gave me a free donut. I did not have cash to tip and paying with my card didnt give me an option I will be back with cash tip. The food and ice coffee was good will be back again.“

“Best Apple Fritter in town!! I am an apple fritter connoisseur and I have to say this is the best one i’ve ever had!! It was even later in the day around 4pm and it was still fresh and delicious! I also tried their Maple bar, Coconut donut, and Maple Bacon. Their Coconut was okay, a little dry i’d say. Otherwise great donuts!!“

“This place is sooo good! You have to try it!“

“Love this place we use to live right down the road but now we live in Arizona. We go there everytime we are in Cali. The food is always great, no matter what you get. And staff is always friendly. :)“

“Apparently this doughnut shop has been around for a long time. I driven by here hundreds of time and didn't even know it was there. I stopped in for a maple old fashion and a cup of coffee.

The maple old fashion was very good. It had those good crisp edges and soft middle. The maple flavor was very good. The lady Chen, dropped a couple of glazed doughnut holes in my bag and they were good. The coffee was very good. It was of the drip variety and it was smooth with good flavor.

The owner Chen was very nice. She was a one woman crew when I came in, and with several customers, the handled it well with a smile on her face. The doughnut shop offers a variety of doughnuts, breakfast sandwiches, frozen yogurt, and ice cream.“

“I’ve lived in the area for years and finally tried this place—what a little treasure in our community! I needed to pick up 5 dozen donuts for my team at work, and since I was heading in early, I placed the order a couple of days ahead. They took down all the details, including a small special request, with no problem. When I arrived at 5am for pickup, everything was ready and absolutely perfect! From the friendly service to the delicious donuts, the whole experience was fantastic. I’ll definitely be back!“

“Me gustan mucho las malteadas y los tés“

“I had the Mexican Mocha Espresso as a Frappuccino....oh my gosh it was so tasty. San Diego winter warm enough for a cold coffee. I'm feeling so spoiled and lucky. ❤🤍💙“

“No better way to celebrate a birthday than a custom birthday "cake." 60 mini donuts arranged in a "3" for our donut-loving boy's special day. These are fresh, delicious, not too sweet and the perfect size for preschoolers (or adults who want "just a bite"). Ordered online Sunday afternoon for Monday morning pick-up and the whole process was seamless. Birthdays for our family will never be the same.“

“Our favorite location with friendly staff, very clean and always has most if not everything in stock regardless of the time you good. We obviously go for donuts and recently tried their bagel sandwiches which we were really good and a great price. Portion was perfect and the bagel it self is good. I rather go to this Yum Yum vs. Other donut shops.“

“Love the bakery and matcha latte!“

“Amazing dougnuts! Sometimes I come and they are fresh or stale. I BRing some for my son and husband, they go crazy. Box empty in about 4 days. I love the place! Too bad you can't stay for long since the parking sign says something about no staying past 15 minutes. They also have tables“

“The best apple fritters in the area. I actually weigh them with my digital scale and they stay consistent with the weight. Compared to other places that use more sugar the ratio of dough to glaze is good here at least for my taste. The cashiers have always been friendly.“

“Just a short walk from where we stay on San Ysidro Blvd. whenever I'm in San Diego. Love this little bakery/coffee shop. We don't have a Yum Yum on the East Coast! This must be a West Coast place so it's a little treat when I come to this side of the country! The staff are super kind and friendly too. I really enjoy their healthy fruit drinks and their donuts are amazing. Lots to choose from.“

“There were two extremely patient and kind girls working the counter today and they made this place worth talking about. We are from Orlando, FL and we have been itching to find a good Boba spot for the last 4 days. As soon as I walked in, I felt like I already won the lottery. Their churro donut is phenomenal and light, but what really impressed me was when we went off menu and I asked for a taro coconut item. One of the girls said that she likes those two best when they are mixed together in a smoothie and...she did not disappoint. The taro coconut smoothie is better than anything I have tried in Orlando. In addition, I decided to try something new and asked for the pink coconut milk tea (essentially it was strawberry and coconut). Once again, I LOVED the drink. I hope I do come back to San Diego soon and bring family along with me because I loved the atmosphere, employees/customer service, and menu items.

I have a dairy allergy so these two drinks made me feel like there is no other place I would rather be.“

“They have a variety of flavors. The beverages were super cute. We went on a girls date. Mothers and daughters. It was a fun expensive experience because after enjoying our treats there I also took a box home to share with the family. I specially liked being able to take apart the donut because it was easy for everyone to taste all the flavors. They use Costco links for their corndogs so you know they are 100% beef.“

“Love getting my donuts from this diamond in the rough. I appreciate the freshness of the donuts as well as the quality of service received by the owner. I feel like family every visit. I feel known and appreciated. Highly recommend this donut shop.“

“Good option for an open late slot to sit down at a table with beverage and a snack, but sometimes it feels like the employees will turn the a.c. off and crank the music to extremely loud, possibly to discourage diners from hanging out, this doesn't always happen, but when you are being nugded out...you will know with certainty that you are no longer welcome.“

“Delicious, wonderful, and great customer serve. I’ve never been unhappy. That’s my me-time place to be.“

“Best donuts in San Diego! Glazed donuts are amazing. Very cheap for the quality donuts they have. It's a great mom and pops shop. They have been on business for over 30 years. It's a little gem in National City. Highly recommended. Go early because they only bake once a day. When the donuts are gone, they close shop for the day.“

“I am not a sweets person but these donuts were SO amazing that my cousin and I came here twice in the
SAME day! The glaze donuts are so soft and pillowy and the glaze is not thick or overly sweet. She also gave us a free donut! We also ordered a strawberry banana smoothie and it was so smooth, the bananas were perfect. so sweet that it tasted like honey was added, but it was the sweet bananas! better and more authentic than jamba juice in my opinion. the only reason my review lacks a star is because when we first went, an older woman made our smoothie and it was amazing. when we went back later in the day, it was a younger woman working there and she didnt make our smoothie the same way, using a different recipe. my new staple for sure!“

“You go for the donuts and nothing else :) . They are amazing. I read many reviews on the terrible customer service. My unbiased opinion is the owner is friendly enough, but won't win any awards for outstanding customer services. Get there early otherwise, you'll miss out.

Parking: Easy to park.“

“So delicious, sometimes I’m almost done with my🥤☕️ before I take a picture🤦🏻‍♀️ AND the pastries 🍩🥐 The donuts are yummy but don’t even get me started on the 🤤battery🤤croissants🤤👍🏼👍🏼.“

“Delicious local donut shop with great prices and lovely, friendly service. It's cash only, which is a good thing! There's an ATM on site if you don't have cash on you. Remember, cash retains 100% of its value, which means everyone wins! Have a donut to celebrate!“
