I decided to try this place and the first time I come in I ask the lady for two chocolate cake donuts. I even pointed. Very easy. I turned to see what was in the drink cooler for a second and when I turned around she was handing me a bag. I paid, left and got home only to realize she had not even given me what I asked for. Strike 1, I went back weeks later thinking maybe she just didn't understand but upon going in at 8 in the morning they barely had any donuts left. Strike 2. I will not go here again. The product looks greasy and stale, the environment is not clean and the selection is pretty bad!

The donuts and coffee are enough to keep me going back to the donut shop. But the lady, that works behind the counter, is from Thailand and is very good at providing plenty of donuts and coffee for the P.B. community. 🍩 ☕
This little hole in the wall is a hidden gem. 2 days into my San Diego trip and I’m addicted to Linda’s donuts. Don’t let the location fool you. Best donuts ever. Also the coffee is good and they have plain black breakfast tea which is a must for my wife. If you’re in the San Diego area and you like donuts definitely put this place on your list. So far I’ve had the sugar and the glazed. Both excellent. So much for eating healthy this trip. LOL.
Delicious custard filled donuts!
I really want to support a small business but the girl is way too mean for me to return. They have great donuts great variety and the case always looks lovely.

I stopped in this morning to grab some doughnuts for work and these are hands down the best doughnuts I’ve ever had. I ordered the jelly filled which they fill as you order them and they were so fluffy and fresh. The girl behind the counter was also super cheerful and friendly.

Please stop serving old donuts to customers who pay with hard working money!! We had a manager meeting and the donuts that were served were old....You can do better by serving the community with outstanding product! Change the oil if you are frying the donuts. If otherwise get rid of day old donuts. Instead..I can't stress the fact of good quality product. Last thing you need is the Health Department to visit your establishment. Please take some pride in producing awesome product to the community, customers in general.

The reader of this must first understand my history with donuts. I lived in Chicago my entire life prior to moving to SD five years ago. Chicago is the Mecca of donuts, along with my family making donuts and operating a small donut shop. When I say these are the best donuts I’ve had in SD, I think I can justify this opinion.On to the donuts, I went late afternoon so obviously my expectations were low as donuts early in the AM are the best. I bought a half dozen, and went home. My first was a chocolate sprinkle, that tasted like I was eating cotton candy being so soft, and effortlessly pulling apart. I then had a few others, each one offering a distinct taste but amazingly soft.The last thing I want to mention is how kind they are there, and patient. It feels unique and refreshing when you can go to these small mom and pop’s shops, and they absolutely deliver in every way. I’m so far from Chicago, but this is the closest thing I’ve had in SD that allows me to feel at home.
