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?

amazing breakfast sandwich and donut holes!! i need to come back and try the whole menu!
Za’atar bagel is a must try, the rosemary is a closed second. Nice selection of crafty donuts as well and everything is very reasonably priced! Will definitely come back

I ordered 4 apple cider donuts online. Got the confirmation text message that they were ready and headed over. Once I was there they said that they actually don’t have any apple cider donuts and asked what else I wanted to get. I was shocked that they didn’t call to inform me, since I provided my number on the order and received a text message. I asked why they didn’t call and was told “we don’t really do that”. Of course this was super frustrating because I would have just canceled my order and made breakfast at home, but I planned my morning on relying on the donuts I was told were ready. I got a refund for two of the donuts, although I was told they cannot provide a refund receipt, and still paid for donuts I didn’t originally want because I was already on my way to visit family. I wasn’t offered any compensation for the trouble. This is a ridiculous business practice that puts the blame on the customer. I live close by and have gone to Nomads for years, but this put a real sour taste in my mouth.

I’m a huge sucker for vegan donuts and this place did not disappoint! They were super tasty and the staff were super nice! They were super willing to explain all the options and help with dietary restrictions. Highly recommend!!

Love Nomad Donuts! Not only do they have an incredibly unique and delicious menu (more than just donuts), they are a small business and they care about the community. The Egg-Tasty breakfast sandwich is my FAV and my fav donut from there is their cream-cheese guava flavor (note that flavors rotate). It is not as difficult to find parking right there as you might think (try Illinois Street). Support local!

I’ve only eaten their bagels with cream cheese and I keep coming back for more. 5 stars for the bagels! They are chewy, yet tender, perfect bite and airiness, not too dense. The cream cheese is so creamy and they use fresh herbs in the garlic herb. The fruit cream cheese is nice for a sweeter tooth, but it’s not overly sweet. The bagel is even delicious after sitting for a few hours. They also wrap them very nicely. The sesame bagel has a delicious flavor when extra toasted, because of the sesame seeds. I also recommend the zaatar flavor bagel. Truly, I’m sure all the flavors are tasty, it’s just a matter of preference. Best bagels in San Diego in my humble opinion.

We went twice during our long weekend! The staff was so nice during our first time when we couldn't decide between the Day at the Fair (strawberry funnel cake) and Blueberry, that she gave the Blueberry as a freebie. It worked out because I loved the funnel cake one and my husband loved the Blueberry. We also shared the Salmon Gravlax bagel and WOW, so delicious and comforting with the toasty bagel. On our 2nd visit, we got the Vegan Shawarma Bagel, the Apple Pie donut and the Guava Cream Cheese. All phenomenal and surprisingly not too sweet. We're definitely coming back for more on our next SD trip! :)
