Great donuts and coffee. Nice variety too

OmG I think we found another one. My wife and kids have been to San Diego once, this makes trip number two. We found this donut spot. And OMG it's so fattening. Some of the best moist,soft donuts I have tasted in San Diego. My wife and I also tried their mimosa drinks and they did not disappoint. Can't wait to come back here. Downtown San Diego was fun and amazing.

Donut Bar & Bakery is a real treat for donut lovers, offering a wide variety of creative and delicious options at 5 bucks. The Nutella and chocolate bomb were especially amazing—rich, fresh, and satisfying. It truly feels like a classic donut shop with something for everyone. The only reason it’s not a full five stars is that it can get pretty crowded, but it’s definitely worth the visit.

The owner pulled up in a red Ferrari and handed out free donuts. He even let the kids in line sit in the driver seat and take pictures. Nice man who makes a great crème brûlée donut

Wow! That is all I have to say. We tried several donuts, and they were all out of this world. Staff was so nice and explained what everything was. Can't wait to go back to San Diego so I can stuff my face again with these masterpiece donuts!

The crème brûlée doughnut was one of the best donuts I’ve had in a long time. Would definitely go back and try some other things.

Found this place thanks to the Underground Donut Tour, it was one of our 4 stops that morning. The place is adorable, lots of thought went into their build-out. I don’t want to give anything away, but be sure to stop and use the QR code by each photo to see the augmented reality. Super fun!
Their website says that they have Vegan options, I wasn’t able to give one of them a try. I didn’t ask our tour guide, but it’s likely because we did the 12:00 tour and not the 9am one – or maybe they just didn’t have them on the day of our visit. My tour companions thoroughly enjoyed their donuts, we’ll have to go again so that I can try their vegan options!
The location is terrific, just a few blocks off of Broadway. I don’t recall seeing any seating in the shop, but there’s a few tables set up in the hall of the building they’re located in.
I look forward to visiting again. Thanks for reading my review!

Probably one of our favorite finds while touring San Diego! An awesome selection of donuts and the service was stellar. We enjoyed all of our donuts--some outside seating available too!

It was sad that French toast Donuts are only for weekends, Fri - Sun and they ran out of strawberry shortcake donuts. Thankfully enough, they have a bunch of other thrilling choices such as orange blueberry scone +. Donuts here are huge. They give you donuts in a box. Even three of donuts make the box almost full. I love Kona, the coffee here as well ☕️ 😍.

They have many tables outside for families and indoor for couples, which can be considered oasis in the middle of the town. Enjoy!
