Fresh doughnuts and coffee! A very nice place, managed by very nice people.

Amazing raised donuts!

Barrio Donas is a must-visit for unique, Mexican-inspired donuts. My favorites? The La Flor donut, a floral sweet PB&J delight; the Ganzito donut, a fun twist on the classic Gansito snack with rich chocolate and cream filling; and the Guava Maria donut, packed with delicious guava and topped with a creamy glaze. Each bite is soft, fresh, and full of flavor. Pair them with their famous horchata for the perfect treat!

Barrio Donas never disappoints, but their Classic Horchata and Reese’s Mazapán Donut absolutely blew me away!
The Classic Horchata is pure, creamy perfection—just the right balance of sweetness and cinnamon, with that smooth, refreshing finish that makes every sip addicting. It’s rich without being heavy and perfectly captures the authentic taste of traditional Mexican horchata. If you love horchata, this one is a must-try!
And then there’s the Reese’s Mazapán Donut—WOW. A genius fusion of flavors, this donut takes everything you love about peanut butter and mazapán and combines it with the perfect fluffy, melt-in-your-mouth donut base. The Reese’s chocolate drizzle adds just the right amount of indulgence, making every bite an explosion of nutty, chocolatey goodness.
If you’re in Old Town San Diego, do yourself a favor and grab these two together. The combo of creamy horchata and the peanut buttery richness of the donut is pure magic! Can’t wait to come back for more!

I got to Old Town early hoping to try some of Barrio Donas vegan donuts, but they don't have them at this location. That was a real bummer.

The server was very friendly. The Horchata was very tasty. But ask for it with no ice as they cheat and fill the cup with ice. At 5.75 that is not cheap No Gluten free at this location for donuts.
I've been to the Barrio Donas Old Town location several times and absolutely love their donuts--my favorite is the Chocolate Abuelita, which I get every time. It's a charming little donut shop located in a small plaza with other eateries, making it a convenient spot to grab more food. I especially enjoy stopping by Elote Old Town next door for a bite.
That said, I'm giving this place 3 stars because of the consistently unfriendly service. Every time I visit, the cashier seems to be in a bad mood, which makes the experience uncomfortable. You even have to ask for your donuts to be packed to-go, which feels like an inconvenience for them.
If they could improve their customer service, it would make such a difference and likely attract more loyal customers. The donuts are amazing, but the poor service holds this place back from its full potential.

Pulled up early like 9:30 / 10 no one working barely any donuts empty store and couldn't find an employee I waited 20 minutes and no one showed up I finally saw the donut lady talking to someone outside the location
