33 Best Donuts near Imperial Beach

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Fantastic customer service!“

“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“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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“

“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. :)“

“Love the bakery and matcha latte!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“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“

“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 really enjoyed my visit to Yum Yum Donuts. The donuts were fresh, tasty, and there was a great variety to choose from. The prices were reasonable, and the staff was friendly. I especially liked the classic glazed donuts and apple fritter. Overall, it’s a great place to stop by when you’re craving a fresh donut and a quick snack. I would definitely come back again!“

“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🤤👍🏼👍🏼.“

“Ive been to the original and this Randy's comes very close in taste to the one in Inglewoood, and yes theres a huge donut. The donuts are a little pricey but they are packed in flavor. I recommend that you become a member, its a nice little perk as well. What I really liked about this particular Randy's is that they are next to a Taco spot, donuts and tacos? Sign me up!“

“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.“
