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!“

“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.“

“Yum Yum Donuts is the kind of place that feels made for a quick, uncomplicated food stop. It is casual, affordable, and especially convenient when you want a donut, coffee, or breakfast without spending a lot of time sitting down. In San Diego, many locations are open 24 hours, which makes it particularly useful for early-morning workers, late-night cravings, or anyone who suddenly needs a box of donuts for the office.

The first thing that stands out is the variety. Of course, donuts are the main attraction, with classics such as glazed raised donuts, cake donuts, twists, bars, jelly-filled donuts, apple fritters, cinnamon rolls, and bear claws. One fun detail is that a Yum Yum “dozen” comes with 14 donuts, which is a nice little bonus when you're buying for family, friends, or coworkers.

The apple fritter is one of the items that gets a lot of positive attention. When the donuts are fresh, they can be soft, flavorful, and satisfying. That said, freshness can be inconsistent depending on the location and timing. Some customers have reported getting very fresh pastries, while others have complained about donuts being stale or heavier and oilier than expected. So, personally, I would pay attention to how fresh the display looks before choosing a large box.“

“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.“

“Jen at Winchells Donuts in National City on Plaza & Euclid was the The Best Person to me when i needed a little help to get me and a friend out of a jam he was in.

Thank You Jen

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

“My favorite donuts spot!

Let’s start with the donuts, always fresh and soft. The perfect balance of dough and sweetness. My son loves the donuts so much he’s decided to have donuts instead of cake for his birthday. Also, such an amazing variety of bakery items from donuts, muffins, cinnamon buns, cookies, and more. They also have an extensive list of croissant and breakfast sandwiches. If you’re a coffee lover be sure to try the Vietnamese coffee, it’s simply delicious.

I always receive such the happiest service from the man who is usually working the front. The ladies not as friendly as the guy.

The area may be a bit sketch sometimes, but what area in San Diego is not lol. It’s worth the sketch lol!

Prices have went up in the past few months, about a $2 increase on a dozen of donuts. Yikes!“

“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“

“My first time here. I saw they were known for their Ham cheese and jalapeño croissants. I had to try one. It did not disappoint. Lots of ham. Great flavor and big size.
The doughnuts were melt in your mouth and so fresh. Next time I want to try a breakfast sandwich. Service was good too! I’ll definitely be a regular. ♥️“

“Hi I recommend this entirely“

“I was having a really bad morning, not a great day. Went to get donuts for my sons bday celebration at school. This wonderful lady, not sure I'm writing her name correctly (Katy) she was so nice to us, said happy bday to my son and gave us tips and recommendations. She was just great, made our day with her kindness. Ty so much!“

“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.“

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

“Fantastic customer service!“

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

“The donut quality here is 10/10. Very fresh and great taste. A bit on the expensive side but the quality is there as I mentioned. My only feedback would be maybe to have more inventory because it seems the donuts can go quickly here and the availability can be limited.“

“Brings you right back into a time capsule with the most unexpectedly DELICIOUS donuts. Freshly made, airy, light, flavorful. I go for the classic glazed donut and it never disappoints. My husband does the apple fritter and it’s absolutely amazing. Definitely recommend if you’re craving any type of yummy, freshly baked donuts!“

“A great little donut shop. I'd come by sometimes during work for a coffee and donuts, both of which were always delicious. A really friendly atmosphere that usually isn't too busy, but can also back up sometimes with locals from the offices nearby knowing how good the coffee and donuts are.“

“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 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.“

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

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

“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.“

“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. :)“

“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!!!!“

“There are so many donuts places around and one in particular on a very busy intersection, so traffic for them is prime. But this little shop, I've been coming to this shop for over 10 years now, brining a box for work or for friends. There's a whole history as to why donut shops are like these in the States, so the shop owner for me is what sells the place. She's been there virtually EVERY DAY showing up. She never fails to smile at me. She always asks how I'm doing; even asks how my wife is doing. Those moments are what make the donuts even more pleasurable to pick up. Taste wise, that's subjective. Try them yourself and make your own opinions. Either way, I'll always support this quaint, established spot. Thank you for serving out community with a place that offers joy in donut form.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Me gustan mucho las malteadas y los tés“

“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’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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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 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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“My wife and I think this is one of the best donut shops east of the 805 in Chula Vista. The variety, taste, and size of the Donuts are excellent. They don't skimp on the fillings. Customer service is quick and friendly. Everytime I'm in the neighborhood I stop by and pick up a half dozen. I recommend this shop if want a satisfying donut experience.“

“Love the bakery and matcha latte!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“
