50 Best Donuts near National City

“La atencion al cliente muy buena.“

“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!!“

“The brown sugar boba tea was so good. The boba in it had the right consistency. The donuts were fresh and good as well. The ube donut had a very subtle flavor. This place is best for takeout as there is not much seating. Parking was easy to find.“

“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.“

“Rita works the night shift and she’s absolutely amazing! I caught her right at the end of her shift and she was still so friendly, professional and graceful. She is honestly the best employee I’ve encountered at any of the locations. This specific location is always very clean! The food is always fresh and everything tastes great.“

“Loved it! Went earlier today and I ordered an iced latte and 6 pack of filled malasadas. My coffee was great, far better than other coffee shops I’ve tried in National City, and was made surprisingly quick. The malasadas were warm and fresh, but some of the fillings were a little too artificial to my liking. Service was also great, the young girl at the front definitely gave off that Aloha vibe, and guided me through the menu as I was a little confused at first. Got my malasadas within 15 minutes, would recommend.“

“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.“

“The COFFEE!!! Hot Americano was good and strong. I think there is hair on my chest 🥴“

“My 15 year old daughter said it was the yummiest sugar donut she had ever had. The dough is so soft and delicious. Also, the gal at the counter was very nice and patient with us while we were making our choices. I highly recommend this donut shop!“

“Best donuts in San Diego, very nice people.“

“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.“

“My husband and I love coming here! One of our favorite places to go! The owners are amazingly sweet, very welcoming and always have great customer service!🥰 I recommend anything you get here will be delicious!😋 They have some speciality drinks from Lemon Tea which is my favorite, Green lemon tea, Thai tea, Vietnamese coffee, cold brew and plenty of shake drinks to choose from! Their bacon croissant is super tasty 🤤 but anything you get you won't regret! 😉
Not to mention all the different flavors for donuts 🍩 So stop by and enjoy!“

“Hi I recommend this entirely“

“Truly the best donuts and baked goods in San Diego. Located in an unassuming strip mall near a laundromat, possibly owned by the same owners.

I find that most donut shops in the city use a similar recipe for their dough, but something about Golden Donut’s recipe for its dough is different - a little bit sour with a peppery taste.

The thing that originally led me to GD was the fact that, oddly, they served iced Vietnamese coffee which I had been looking for in San Diego. However, they don’t have many other beverage choices apart from Thai iced teas.

There are some interesting flavors that have popped up, like a banana turnover and matcha donuts. Would love to see more of these unique items on the menu.

Vegetarian options: Almost everything is vegetarian but the maple bacon donuts

Parking: Parking can be challenging as it shares the parking lot with multiple businesses. Constant traffic in and out. Parking on the street but might have to walk.

Wheelchair accessibility: As far as I can tell, not step to enter the shop and is flat inside“

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

“Great product and incredible customer service.“

“We visited KT Donuts today. Glazed, sprinkled, jelly and cream filled, chocolate and powdered sugar coated. All the standard donuts are well represented here. One of my all time favorites is the Apple Fritters.
CASH ONLY HERE!
Cheers“

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

“This is a great small donut coffee, Vietnamese coffee, and donut shop. We tried great Vietnamese coffee today, and a hot tea with Stash® brand teas. So many classic donut styles, and we settled on a bunch of delicious glazed donut holes so that we didn't have to say we ate a whole donut!
Great friendly service. Note that the Donuts Plus is cash only and offers an ATM machine. For those who do not want a brewed coffee or Vietnamese coffee, enjoy a chilled CocaCola® or Pepsi® chilled product from the refrigerator case.
Great friendly service.
Accessible entry via a wide ramp. Accessible counter to order and pick up food. Accessible tables indoors to enjoy your choices.
Van accessible parking in the strip center with several venues“

“Called ahead on a busy Thursday morning for a mixed dozen box of donuts, $19, and was ready when I picked it up - great service and very efficient, the nice woman at the counter even gave some extra donuts, she must’ve been able to tell we had a busy day at work ahead! Plenty of parking and other breakfast and coffee options as well“

“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“

“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.“

“Best donuts for miles and miles around. Happy I made the drive.“

“Awesome place. My daughter and I went and we got Thai tea, plain and glazed donuts. They were very friendly and accommodating. My daughter accidentally dropped her atm card and when we got home she realized it, we called and they had it safe and sound. Thank you Crispy's donuts. They also gave us some sample donut holes.“

“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!“

“Just a hole in the wall donut shop offering traditional tasty donuts. I have to say with everyone describing the dough as fluffy.... they are spot on. There's something about it that's so soft and almost has the melt in your mouth feeling.
We ordered an old fashioned glazed and chocolate, as well as a chocolate twist. The gentleman that helped us was so nice and helpful. He gave us 2 donut holes for each of pur orders. It may not seem like much but this is a nice gesture for any guest.

My husband ordered the iced mocha coffee, he said it was ok. I ordered a hot coffee with cream. I have to say that the coffee was bold and good. I didn't expect that.

Definitely will be back for the good donuts and good prices!

Price $16 & some change for
Small coffee
Large iced coffee
5 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. :)“

“My kids came here asking to change their dollar for quarters. My kids raved about how sweet and kind the people running the place were. In a world of negativity, such kindness should not go unnoticed. Thank you so much! Also the donuts they ended up getting afterwards were delicious. A+++ all around!!!“

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

“Got a few donuts and a apple fritter... oh my goodness everything was absolutely amazing!!! The fritter was large and heavy and flavorful and the other chocolate donuts was perfectly cooked and the flavor was perfect and everything was priced well most definitely go here when your craving something sweet or want donuts and a coffee

Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly

Wheelchair accessibility: Very wheelchair friendly“

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.🤑🤫🥰“

“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!!!!!!!“

“A tiny little donut shop on Aero drive.
I have wanted to stop after my VA appointment and get my standard for judging donut shops, an apple fritter and finally today I did.
WELL WORTH THE WAIT
The shop is clean and the selection.looks really good.
Got my go to standard and was not disappointed. The woman behind the counter was very nice too!
I guarantee, this will be a regular stop for me from now on!“

“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.“

“Everything was fresh and delicious. When we got there, there were a couple of people in front of us. We had to wait for 3 bagle sandwiches, and by the time we left, there was a line of at least 10 customers. Mostly return customers. We'll be back!“

“I've only ever been here under the new owner and it has always been delicious. Friendly counter staff, quick service, perfect donuts. The maple buttermilk bar is my favorite donut ever, but everything I've tried has been delicious. Cinnamon roll is my husband's favorite. Very happy they won readers choice 2024 best donut shop! Very proud of our local business!“

“I have been a costumer for over 35 years. Always fresh ans Always nice working people. I believe recently a new generation of the family has taken over, I do notice a even much more positive change overall. They are so so kind, Always smiling and kind. You guys are doing amazing. Thank you !“

“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.“

“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.“

“Came here in the evening and grabbed some apple fritters. Solid size that was larger than an average hand for $3. It still tasted fresh. I can see what other reviews meant by it might be from the morning, and that's totally a'ok in my book.“

“The best donuts, buns filled with apple strawberry cream, natural smoothies and a delicious coffee, either Americano or cappuccino.

Parking: Very spacious

Kid-friendliness: Yeah

Wheelchair accessibility: Yeah“

“I have been looking for the best classic donut shop near me and I have definitely found it! They accept credit card, you have to be okay with $0.75 fee charge. Always got parking right in front. They have a handful of tables in the corner if you wanted to eat right there.

This shop serves Vietnamese Iced Coffee for $5.50 and paired with a chocolate donut and I’m a happy camper for the morning! I’ve watched them make the espresso too (some donut shops have those ‘machines’ that make coffee, and it’s just not the same!)

I’ve also gotten their croissant ham and cheese sandwich and it’s really good and pretty big - soft and fluffy.

Definitely a spot to stop for 8 bucks of deliciousness!“

“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!“

“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.“

“By far the best donuts you will ever eat. Fresh, cooked perfectly and run by a local family. I suggest trying the maple bacon if you love bacon, sweet and salty.

Kid-friendliness: Kids will love the different types of donuts.“

“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. ❤🤍💙“

“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“

Great people , great times 💯
Yum yum donuts are an amazing treat to start your day with a sweet treat or a great breakfast sandwich, orange juice, chocolate milk, coffee etc!
They have a wide variety for everyone to enjoy! Thank you all @yumyumdonuts for allowing the car show! So many people get to enjoy the cars and the coffee & donuts!“

“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.“

“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.“
