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!!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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 🥴“

“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!“

“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“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“Hi I recommend this entirely“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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!!!!“

“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!“

“Bomb donuts! I love supporting local spots. Super fresh donuts that are soft and fluffy. The staff are always warm and inviting. I love coming to this shop before or after hitting the beach. My personal favs are the straight up glazed and the cinnamon sugar doughnuts. Come thru and support!“

“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 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!“

“The great:
- The donuts are always amazing. All the classic options, soft, perfect texture, generous jelly, reasonable pricing. Best donuts in La Mesa, Rolando, City Heights area
- the ladies that work here are super sweet, and always hook my kiddo up with an extra couple donut holes.

The bummer:
Unpredictability with opening/closing. Showed up today at 9:10 am, lights off, no donuts in the display. On their Google page, and their window, says they should be open. This has occurred at least 3 other times. Perhaps need to call before making the drive to come here.“

“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 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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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. ❤🤍💙“

“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.“

“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. :)“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“I paid went to my car and was about to leave when the most kind lady came out and told me my card didnt go thru but she paid for me she said its ok it was only 5.75! Wow i noticed my card was off and wondered how that happened. I paid but the absolute kindness of the women blew me away no one ever pays for you and goes out of theyre way not to embarrass you! I will always go here now im beyond impressed thank you you are heavenly !!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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!“
