22 Best Donuts near Escondido

“Super friendly staff, they clearly enjoy their work, starting work at 12 am to provide delicious doughnuts. I am a fan of the buttermilk bar and they offer 4 kinds, glazed, maple, chocolate, and vanilla. For sure the biggest buttermilk bars I have ever had. They also have a great variety of other doughnuts. For sure a great place to stop and get your doughnut cravings full filled.“

“Best donut shop ever. Great neighborhood location.
I used to have a great love for donuts into a prices got up to 3, 4 and $5 per donut. I pretty much stopped eating them because that's ridiculous. I recently discovered donut star. Donuts are slightly over a dollar and they are large and amazing. The people who work there are very friendly an accommodating. I still have to watch my calories but at least I know I can buy a donut for less than the cost of breakfast. Some of these other shops who begged for our support during covid should be ashamed of themselves because since our supply chains have picked up again their prices have not gone down. It makes me extremely upset every time I hear about a company making record profits. It was also helped them get their as consumers and now they have no regard or respect for us.
Donut Star is a shining star.“

“Anyone can go to a Dunkin or Krispy Kreme for a fake donut. Did you know that most Dunkin Donuts doesn’t even make their own donuts on site? Yup. They are made in a central kitchen somewhere else and then shipped with the falsity of being made fresh for the consumer. Some are fresh frozen then delivered and well, eeww. If you want a real donut that doesn’t taste like it came off an assembly line, please help support this small mom ‘n’ pop shop. It is located on a busy street with parking available. It is always busy for a reason: quality donuts at reasonable prices. What more could you ask for?

There is a nice variety of options to select from. They even have the old school donut in regular or chocolate covered: Old Fashioned Donut! And their Cinnamon Roll is the size of a plate! Mom loves their Maple Bar. Everything is always fresh and the service is great. I tried them once because I like to support small businesses and I keep going back. Mart’s is the only donut shop for mom and I because it is a REAL donut shop. Not some franchise with waxy, fake freshness. Yeah Mart’s! You rock!

Parking: There are a few other businesses in same lot, so plenty of parking.“

“It’s been years since I’ve visited this place. They’ve been around as long as I can remember. I stopped in originally chasing the bit of nostalgia I had coming with my family years ago. I honestly came in with low expectations. It’s a fairly small shop and it doesn't do a whole lot in terms of marketing and the selection of donuts is kept pretty strictly to some of the classics. But I was so delightfully surprised by the execution. I got a whipped cream chocolate bar, a Boston cream, and a bear claw. That whipped cream chocolate bar was without a doubt the best donut I’ve had in recent memory. For how simple it is it really delivered. The time and care taken to perfect a product is really put on display here. Definitely coming back soon!“

“Excellent storefront very good variety and very good tasting very much worth it!!!“

“Muchisimas graciaa por el pastel de Donas de la graduacion de Chollas Elementary School 2022 quedaron facinados y estaban riquisimas Vicly y miszy las mejores donas de escondido y como siempre muy amables graxiassss“

“Been going here for years. Sandwiches and breakfast are just as fire as the donuts. Not to mention the complimentary donut they slide into your sandwich bag. It makes my day every time. Smoothies are not ALL natural and fresh but if you're not worried about it I definitely recommend“

“Been awhile since I went to this place and even though it was 6:00 in the evening walking in was just like being a kid. The smell of fresh baking donuts was fantastic. The people behind the counter were absolutely a joy to deal with and we're very happy to please. The donuts were fresh and amazingly well done. Can't go wrong at yum yum.“

“I love coming here. It’s tradition on our birthdays to come get a donut and everyone in the family gets to pick their favorite pastry for birthday cake. I’ve ordered several cakes for different events and they’re always delicious. The employees are all so nice and friendly, no matter what time of day you come. Such a sweet little shop.“

“Custard kronut is so GOOD! Nice new place with delicious 🍩. Will definitely come back!“

“Tons of variety and priced right; delicious 👍“

It is a convenient pitstop for snacks or hearty jalapeno ham & cheese croissant. Close to the Inland Rail Trail for the cyclists among us.

They prefer payment with cash but card payment is accepted with a small fee.

Go check them out!“

“I love love their chai tea!! It was the best one, there isn't one like theirs! They also are like family! 💕 sweet, loving and understanding, once you get know them. They also remember what you like/order everytime you go. Truly miss them!“

“Love the National Donut Day sticker. I have donut shop a block away from my house however I go out of my way to support sesame donuts ! Always fresh and delicious what real donuts should taste like! Also they have awesome Ham and cheese croissants“

“I've been looking for that one buttermilk old fashioned from my childhood from the bread man that drove around called the helm's truck when i was a kid, and Foster's donuts got it, finally lol!
Totally reminded me of that truck!
Thank you Foster's donuts!“

“24/7 you can't go wrong with Yum Yum! No matter what time of day I get there. When the wife has a Caribbean in the middle of the night it's usually for donuts or something of that nature. Up on my feet grab a jacket and out the door I'm on my way and I know yum yum won't let me down, cuz they always deliver.“

“Been (im)patiently waiting for this to open...Parking can be tricky at peak lunch and dinner times but mostly it's great. Once you're in, the vibe is great. They have a little spot to take pics in front of a grass backdrop! Seating area was plenty too!The 3 flavors we tried were cookies and cream, strawberry and glazed. Each tasted great with the glazed being my favorite. The strawberry one was still good but it seemed like it was missing something. Cookies and cream were a little too sweet for me but if you like sweet or fixing for a sweet tooth, go for it!The service was great! She was so friendly, helpful and gave her personal recommendations. She seemed to like all of them but she was able be specific with flavors so it was super helpful!“

“I've been coming here for years and they never disappoint. Ideally it's best to wait for a fresh batch of donuts to come out and that's usually in the mornings. Great place for donuts when you have the urge. I go with the usual glazed donuts as those are their specialty.“

“Surprised to see a lot of bad reviews. The guy was very friendly and it wasn't busy when we went. Yes it's a bit pricier than regular donuts but it's so hard to make them (and connect each dough balls to make them look like Mochi Nut donuts) I think it's worth the price for a special occasion.“

“Very busy little local donut shop here in 4S ranch. Everything is good here, everything is fresh, and everything tastes amazing. We were lucky enough to grab chocolate dipped donuts and honey curlers still hot from just being made. Grabbed a dozen bagels for the house as well. Will be back again.“

“awesome great service had avocado toast and charly“
