35 Best Donuts near La Jolla

“Location location location! Walkable to downtown. Comfortable accomodations. Nothing like the sound of crashing waves outside your door :)“

“Just want to shout out to the really nice and caring workers here, they are always working super hard and yet always friendly and patient with customers. Don’t know his name but one of the employees even took the time to give my dog a special pup cup. They deserve a raise!!“

“There are two Rose Donuts, but this one below USD is the best. The people are the ones who make it or break it; and this team is the best! After the 1st visit, they will know you by your name; and probably after your second visit, they will know your order. They are so friendly and work so quickly to get your order out. Connie works so hard all day and into the late evening, making sure she bake most of the donuts before her shift ends. Anyone who is a local knows that they are dedicated to making fresh donuts every day. Let's not forget their breakfast sandwhich deal that comes with a donut and coffee. Also, the iced Vietnamese coffee just hits hard for me. I always order two, so I can enjoy one and save the other for the next morning. It's just right..not too strong.

Btw...it's not just the donuts that bring in the customers, but it's the positive, family feel, mom and pop vibe that Connie and her team brings each day. I don't know everyone's name but shout-out to Connie, Rowland, Mo, and one other person. They are the best!“

“Best ppl! Best food!! SO miss the fam! Successful in all they do! ❤❤😊😊“

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

“TK Donuts is hands down the best donut shop around. If you’re looking for that nostalgic, classic donut that reminds you of childhood, this is the place. Their donuts are perfectly light, fluffy, and have just the right amount of glaze without being overly sweet or overdone like many other places.

They do a great job of balancing tradition with creativity, always offering a section of specialty flavors and fun designs for those looking to try something different. But it’s their classic donuts that keep me coming back.

The service is just as amazing as the donuts. After only my first visit, the owner remembered exactly what I ordered. Now when she sees me walk in, she already knows what I want and has it packed up before I even ask. That kind of personal touch is rare these days.

On top of everything else, the shop is incredibly clean, and the donut display is always beautiful and well organized. You can tell they take pride in every aspect of their business. TK Donuts has earned a customer for life!“

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

“Fantastic customer service!“

“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.“

“Hi I recommend this entirely“

“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.“

“We go to Donutopolis a couple times a month and they are always so friendly and the donuts are delicious! ❤❤“

“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.“

“They gave both our kids free samples as soon as we walked in the door! I asked if they had sugar twists and they were out but she went back and .ade me one on the spot. That is above and beyond service. It took a while for the kids to decide what they wanted but she was incredibly patient with us. Incredible service. The donuts were fresh even at 11 am when we showed up. Thank you for being so kind with our kids!!!“

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

“By far the best donuts in San Diego, especially their Apple Fritters!! Very nice family running this shop ... for many, many years. They have watched my kids grow up since they were toddlers, and now my youngest is almost 19 and my oldest is 24!“

“The sweetest kindest person made my day today. After a horrible experience elsewhere her smile and amazing donuts had my little heart filled of appreciation and thankfulness.

Thank you for making my day 💕 Best little donut shop!“

“I love stopping here every time I’m in town. This past weekend was disappointing because of the service. The boy at the counter was abrasive and acted like he just didn’t want to keep being bothered. Any other time I’ve always felt welcomed and it was not the case this time. I’ll still stop because the donuts and bagels are the best!“

“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.“

“Ive been going to Goody's for 22years. The donuts are always delicious, the sandwich are very refreshing and the coffees are always on point. There was slight hesitation when the original managers retired, but the new managers are so friendly, kind amd definitely live up to their predecessors legacy.“

“Love the bakery and matcha latte!“

“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.“

“Sidecar! My family loves your doughnuts. Always yummy. However , today I found out that you have nut ingredients in some of your doughnuts but you do not warn your customers by including these allergens on the descriptions of the flavors. Please change this for the continued safety of those who enjoy your products. This can be a life/death situation for some.“

“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. ❤🤍💙“

“We are visiting from Minnesota and found this place. Amazing donuts! Could be the best donut I have ever had. Will be back. 😀“

“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.“

“Rose makes the BEST donuts! My wife's favorites are the large apple fritter and glazed old fashioned. The balance between crunchy outside and soft delicious inside is what makes them so delicious!
It's also refreshing how friendly the staff is! Always with a cheerful greeting and helpful demeanor!“

“This review is specially for their amazing apple fritters! So much can go wrong while making these but Yum Yum nails them every time.

These fritters are absolutely ripped with chunks of apple contrasted by the crispy edges from a perfect deep fry. Plus they're so big you might have a hard time eating a whole one. Though I managed to persevere in the face of near defeat and won.

A must if you're into hefty amounts of fried apples in dough!“

“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🤤👍🏼👍🏼.“

“Customer service was great and the employee was super helpful and nice.

The donuts are reliable good if you come
Earlier in the morning.

Starting to feel old realizing I used pay 14-15 dollars for a dozen donuts a few years back.

24 dollars for 12 regular donuts helps prevent me from indulging too often“

“Pretty good donut shop. Nothing fancy which is exactly what I look for. Got all of my usual selection. The glazed and crumble were excellent. The old fashioned was good. A little softer than I prefer but the taste was good. The chocolate chocolate was weird. Had some blobs of blueberry batter mixed in. Not sure what happened there but definitely affected the taste. No harm. I very rarely find a good chocolate cake donut anymore.“

“I have been coming to Dark Horse for years whenever I visit San Diego. Their coffee is consistently excellent and it is my go-to. Their drip coffee is excellent as well as their cold brew. Espresso drinks are great as well. I can’t recommend them enough. Give them a try the next time you are in San Diego!“

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

“This place is awesome! Anthony at the drive through always goes above and beyond. He is the reason I no longer drink coffee at any other place! Other places have lost customer service and this young man has brought that back. Great Coffee and a donut in the mornings is the only way to start your day!!“
