About Barrio Donas - Old Town

Barrio Donas - Old Town is a must-visit spot for delicious treats and unique, Mexican-inspired donuts. This shop offers a variety of flavors, including the popular Strawberry Jamaica donut, as well as creative combinations like cold brew horchata, La Flor (a floral sweet PB&J delight), Ganzito (a fun twist on the classic Gansito snack with rich chocolate and cream filling), and Guava Maria (packed with delicious guava and topped with a creamy glaze). Each bite is soft, fresh, and full of flavor, with great dough and cute presentation. Customers often pair their donuts with the shop’s famous horchata, which is pure, creamy perfection—balancing sweetness and cinnamon with a smooth, refreshing finish that makes it addictive. The Classic Horchata is rich without being heavy, capturing the authentic taste of traditional Mexican horchata.

Another favorite is the Reese’s Mazapán Donut—a perfect blend of peanut butter and mazapán flavors on a fluffy, melt-in-your-mouth donut base, topped with Reese’s chocolate drizzle for added indulgence. The combination of creamy horchata and the nutty, chocolatey donut creates a truly magical experience.

It’s a cute spot to visit when craving something sweet, offering the cutest donuts and coffee, like the Armando Palmer, their version of an Arnold Palmer, which was delicious. Visitors are encouraged to arrive early, as donuts often sell out, and enjoy the fresh donuts at their softest and best. This place is perfect for a sweet treat after exploring Old Town San Diego.
