34 Best Donuts near Imperial Beach

“Wow! What a light eclair and not overly sweet…simply delicious. And this is at 5pm, craving a donut on the way home from work. Can you imagine the taste within an hour of opening in the morning? No wonder nearly every rack was empty at 5pm. The apple fritters and double chocolate were just as delicious and perfect for coffee in the morning. I’m not a routine donut guy, but I just found my “go to”donut shop when I have that craving or guests in town. Family-owned and operated and their pride delivered in award-winning donuts!“

“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.“

“La atencion al cliente muy buena.“

“Hi I recommend this entirely“

“HOLY MOLY! i just recently got into liking apple fritters and decided to try this place out. thus far i’ve had 5 different fritters throughout san diego (i’m here right now visiting my bf) and so far this one has been the best!

this fritter had an amazing amount of cinnamon, apples, and glaze. the crispy yet softness texture was perfect, the edges are definitely my favorite.

my bf got a chocolate glaze and it was pillowy soft and super good, (this is coming from someone who doesn’t like chocolate all that much.)

the lady who gave us the donuts threw in a couple of donut holes and those were amazing too. i cannot put enough emphasis on how fresh everything here was!

if i want an apple fritter from here on out i’m definitely coming here cause the times i’ve tried new places since this one have just left me thinking about this fritter. i hope when the time i get another fritter comes it was as good as the one i had this time, though i’m aware that things can change depending on the batch!“

“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.“

“Fantastic 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.“

“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!“

“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!!“

“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!“

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

“My overall experience with Doughnut Bar Eastlake has been a good one. I've seen this place many times before, but haven't tried it. Today was finally my day to try these delicious doughnuts. Things are a bit expensive, but if you utilize certain food apps like the one I used. My total was dramatically reduced. The next time you have a sweet tooth, try the Doughnut Bar of Eastlake.“

“yes, yes my good sir 🧐. You literaly deserve these 5 golden stars like yall are underrated. IM LITERALY A FOOD CRIDICT. (I eat 2109 calories a day) I literally LOVE you, your donuts are cheap and I bought a dozen for my interview with a VERY important person. The leader of office admissions to a top 10 junior boarding schools. Literally tysm bro I want to glaze you like you did on my donuts.🤑🤫🥰“

“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. :)“

“It was my first time here, and it did not disappoint. If you're looking for mini delicious donuts (the flavors are amazing) and come in a brown bag like 90s lunch?. The burritos are no slouch either. It was thicker than uncut salami, and the flavor was on point. Burritos ? & Donuts ? who would have thunk it... Dinky did!!!!!!!“

“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 love this place the donuts are amazing excellent service and has everything very clean. I’m proud and impressed because two kids work there and they do a very good job and they treated me super good and asked about my day. I would totally recommend these donuts if your around Bonita.“

“Supercute date night dessert spot. The donuts are yummy and adorable. We were greeted with friendly service. Decor was also pink and sweet just like the donut. Just docked them points on atmosphere because it was way too hot to sit and stay and enjoy.“

“Free coffee with a donut purchase. Very friendly & enthusiastic staff, and attractive store. Donuts are pre-bagged and displayed on a shelf so customers can pick what they want. Not many options left at 11:00 on a Sunday. Raised donut with coconut topping ($4) was okay (glaze was melting and it didn’t taste fresh).“

“You guys don’t even know….these donuts are literally the best. A classic neighborhood donut shop that is superior among the novelty places because they consistently prove that less is more & donuts don’t need to come in crazy flavors or with excessive toppings. The original donuts are fluffy with a slight crisp on the outside and melt in your mouth. Our favorites are the APPLE FRITTER - crispy crunchy chewy goodness, and of course, the buttermilk and old fashioned ones- always crispy and freshly fried to perfection.“

“Crappy management era Jacks sucked, so did the doughnuts. Know what sucks more than a "corporate" Jacks crapnuts? New corporate that fired the 36yr veteran of Jacks! Rodney was there when Jacks was good. He was there when they started the crappy doughnuts from the distribution center. He's not there now, because some snowbird from Florida fired him. I haven't been to Jacks in years due to there shitnuts, but I won't be returning now. loyalty means nothing to these cracker barrel wanna be's.“

“I went here last week after my lab appointment. They are fast and in less than 10 min they got me my donuts and coffee. In fairness, I like the Coffee latte cheaper $2.69 small and it did not make my stomach hurt. The servers were, John, Kevin, Claudia and the person making the donuts is Isaac. Better value and better products and service than Starbucks, no offense. They are also open early and close late. They have sandwiches and bagels but I didn't have much time so donuts and coffee was good enough for me that Friday, September 26 around 8:00am.“

“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“

“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.“

“Vacationing in San Diego for the first time. Our Airbnb didn’t have coffee so we went to Yum Yum donuts and got the donuts looked delicious. We weren’t going to buy food but the bagel sandwiches smelled so good. I got an everything bacon egg bagel sandwich and 3 bacon burritos. The burritos were huge and my family loved them. I wish they had a spot like this at my hometown.“

“No matter what yum yum's you decide to try they all have a really good selection of donuts. My favorites being the custard-filled, old-fashioned chocolate and maple flavored, maple bars chocolate bars, I also like the lemon-filled donuts. They also usually sell milk coffeeand a multitude of other drinks and besides donuts they also serve breakfast sandwiches which are really good as well so if you're looking to have a quick breakfast or have a good sweet tooth yum yum's are always a good place to go.“

“Love the bakery and matcha latte!“

“Went in at 10:30pm, 30 mins before closing and yet was provided with great customer service. The man at the counter was patiently waiting for us to decide since we were so undecided of what we wanted to try. He even suggested some doughnuts for us. The donuts themselves were delicious and soft. Overall, great experience.“

“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🤤👍🏼👍🏼.“

“Never been to Hawaii and now I don't have to 😁 I got the plain, guava, and Bavarian cream. They were really good and the coffee was bomb. My Bavarian cream had a little chocolate on it and I was not mad at that. If they had a mix, I would get it. Donut was fluffy and not oily tasting.“

“Clean atmosphere inside the place and friendly customer service as they was not busy inside and many new different food item selections I have never seen before. As it's been a long time since I have been in a Winchell Donut house, as used to be a lot in the Bay Area.“

“got fresh donut and the best coffee in area...“

“el pan muy bueno también tiene más productos aparte del pan.“
