This one hurts because back in 2018 this place was amazing. Innovative donut flavors, so much creativity, and they were really shaking up the scene. Flash forward to 2026, the donuts got way smaller, the prices got more expensive and worse, and they were sidelined for some alright but overpriced bagel sandwiches. This place really was great hopefully it can reach its old peak.

Such a great little spot. Staff were so friendly. I love that they have a great selection of bagel sandwiches. We had the chop cheese and the carnitas, they were both really good! Loved the house lemonade as well. We didn't try a doughnut but will be sure to next time!!

Stopped in for some bagel sandwiches and got a Chopped Cheese on Black Sesame and a Carnitas on Za'tar and both were top-tier. Great flavors, bagels had great texture and held up to the weight of the sandwich fillings and sauces. Friendly staff in a no-frills neighborhood joint. Didn't get a chance to try the donuts but will definitely be back!

Item: Meat, Egg, Cheese Bagel W/ Cream Cheese Price: $17.80 Thoughts: Obscene price for an *at best* mid bagel sando. Flavor was not there; small bagels; don't waste your time.

We got the Buenos Dias and the Snozzberries bagel sandwiches, which were both so good. The Dubai chocolate donut was delicious too, I was excited to finally try a Dubai chocolate anything because they're never vegan! It was busy but the workers were kind and friendly. I'd definitely go back.

Great breakfast sandwich. Good coffee. I had the standard egg & cheese. It was hot and fresh. The bagel was delicious. I'll come back and try some of the other ones for sure.

Hear me out. I've reviewed tons of tacos spots. Hands down under rated breakfast tacos here. Meat lovers tacos are perfect. Salsa is bomb too. Just saying. If you want a good breakfast tacos, try the ones here. Donuts are bomb too.

Nomad Donuts is easily one of the best donut spots in San Diego. Their flavors are super creative without feeling over the top, and everything tastes really fresh. You can tell they care about quality and small details—both in the dough and in the toppings. The staff is always friendly and patient while you decide what to get, and the vibe of the place is relaxed and welcoming. Definitely worth going out of your way for, especially if you love trying unique donuts and a good cup of coffee.

Great Bagels and fantastic food. Our only complaint, is the Vietnamese cold brew has become pre-mixed. This has made a drink that is more creamer than cold brew. It used to be a great drink, but now I can't finish. We've tried several times to add extra cold brew, but it just isn't the same. Disappointing.
There are so many vegan options here (and not just donuts)! You may be on sensory and visual overload with the options. Can't wait to try their drinks menu. Was pretty crowded when we visited. Great customer service explaining the vegan options for 1st time visitor. Looking forward to our next visit.

Picked up some doughnuts and bagels. I attribute the high prices to the area, so be prepared for that. The doughnuts are good. No problem there. But the bagels are no resemblance to a New York, Detroit, Chicago. Toronto or Montreal bagel. In appearance, they are a bagel. Once you slice them, they are plain old bread. Ugh. So no reason to specifically go out of your way. Bread bagels are available all over.

I had the vegan beet gravlax and as a beet-enthusiast was in bagel heaven. To top it off, the vanilla sprinkle donut was so good I went back for 4 other donuts to take home! I appreciate that all donuts are vegan unless otherwise stated (how it should be)!

Donuts too expensive for what they are. I also know it's difficult to cover costs on a business but 3 years ago their egg and cheese was $5.50 and now it's....double? For egg and cheese? In this economy?
