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

“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.“

“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“

“La atencion al cliente muy buena.“

“I've been buying donuts from May's for over 30 years and they ae the best of the best. If they had a cannabis dispensary next door the line for donuts would a mile long.“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“Mary likes cheese sandwiches" "on rye bread"“

“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.“

“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.“

“Hi I recommend this entirely“

“This is our fav spot we love coming here after church on sundays and sitting in the booth. they also have the best sandwiches. we also recommend coming here on a weeknight when they have a great selection. i tried marys donuts before and they do have good coffee but the donuts are terrible compared to honey donuts, just try them and you will see there is no comparison.“

“best donuts 🍩 ever ! Great tasting“

“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 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!“

“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.“

“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!!!“

“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!!“

“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.“

“Love the bakery and matcha latte!“

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

“Is the best pandan donut in San Diego in Tierrasanta? Yes.

The donut is fluffy, glazed, green and has all the flavor of real pandan leaf: there's the grassy bright green flavor, a depth that has a hint of bitter. I think they are using actual leaf and extract in their dough for this donut because I haven't had a pandan-flavored anything that has this much character that didn't. This does mean that it's not going to be to your taste if you just wanted something sweet and green but there's plenty of other flavors for that.

The ube taro has a comparatively mild earthy flavor that isn't as deep and let's you know there's taro there but not as strongly as the pandan. Still a good flavored donut and a better review had I not gotten it on the same day I got the pandan.

The other flavors I had were what I expect for a donut and all good exemplars with good rise, properly cooked, and fresh.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Best cake donuts in town.

Been coming here regularly for over 25 years, never once had a bad experience; haven’t lived in the neighborhood in over a decade, even after years of not coming around the family behind the counter still remembers me. When I was 7 years old their donuts were 65 cents, today they’re a $1.65. In a world where everything is $3-$10 more than it was a decade ago, I respect that.“

“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.“

“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. ❤🤍💙“

“Heavenly Donuts is one of my favorite spots! The donuts are always fresh, soft, and delicious, with a great variety to choose from. The breakfast sandwiches and coffee are also excellent. The staff is friendly, welcoming, and provides fast service every time. Highly recommend stopping by if you’re looking for a tasty breakfast or a sweet treat!“

“**Food is delicious, n lady's super-nice, BUT... Recently (Last couple months.), I've noticed stuff has been SUPER-SATURATED with OIL! Flavor is great, but they need to sort that out, as it's'a turn-off, and has me reconsiderin continued patronage.

Wish I'd mentionedit to'r this mornin...“

“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!“

“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.“

“Roses donuts? Solid. Fluffy, not too greasy, and just the right amount of sweetness. The classics like glazed and chocolate frosted are spot-on, but the real gems are the seasonal specials—think lemon blueberry in spring or apple cider in fall. They also do a killer maple bacon donut that somehow works every time.

Aside from donuts, they’ve got a few dessert surprises up their sleeve—cream-filled eclairs, soft-baked cookies, and a rotating lineup of mini cakes that go way harder than they need to. Pair anything with their locally roasted coffee or a rich hot chocolate, and you’re golden.“

“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.“

“This is frequently our pit stop on rides. We love Main Street Donuts & Deli. Great food, great service.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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 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“

“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!“
