Super friendly staff, super good food. All the donuts look amazing. The donut smashburger was way better than I was expecting, that combination of ingredients was not something I was expecting to be that good.
I also had a creme brulee, I didn't really like it.. but no points docked for that because I've never had one, The way it looked through me off, I thought it was going to be like liquidy caramel topping, but it was like a hard sugar glaze which I don't think adds much flavor that you pretty much just tasting the donut.

This is a five star review just for the girl working there named Jamie. She was amazing, so bright and cheerful, it made the whole experience quite charming. Great job Jamie, you’re going to be just fine in life!

So fun! Chai tea latte with almond milk was delish and I could not choose between all the amazing donuts! Will have to go back for more as they were so good!

This place deserves a show and a best doughnut in San Diego award. They are on par with Saint Honore’ in Vegas.

I wish I could eat gluten 😭😭😭
Nothing gluten free here but they have a vegan option sometimes. I grabbed a delicious coffee instead and spared myself some gym time extra calories and brought one to my husband instead, who loved it! Just a basic maple bar was fresh, delicious and well made.
The macadamia mocha hot coffee was warm and creamy dessert in itself.
A very fun place to get something extra special for a non gluten free donut eater!

Sorry but I did not like anything..
I ordered an iced vanilla latte with einspanner. The drink they gave me was half espresso half einspanner. So I asked if this was an iced vanilla latte. They say no… it’s a shaken espresso??
They offer to remake it as a latte but then they forgot the einspanner. Bruh.
The donuts were so dry. They definitely rely on frosting to make up for the flavor. But then the banana pudding one was very artificial tasting. We threw everything away.
I do appreciate the staff being nice and we barely had to wait despite it being busy. I just do not understand the complication of the coffee order at all.

Donut Bar San Diego is hands-down one of the best donut spots around!
Their donuts don’t just look incredible—they taste even better. Every bite is a perfect mix of creativity and flavor, and they consistently exceed expectations. Whether you're into the classics or want to try something more adventurous, there's always something that hits the spot.
Beyond the amazing donuts, the service is always top tier—nothing less. The staff is friendly, welcoming, and efficient, which makes every visit a great experience. I especially want to shout out Chris, who is always helpful, kind, and goes out of his way to make sure customers leave happy. His positive energy truly makes a difference!
If you haven't been yet, you're missing out. Donut Bar San Diego is a must-visit!
