Love this local treat. Buttermilk donuts are so good. Always open early enough to pick up donuts for an early event

Donut like it’s 1999… the prices were that of the previous millennium. Felt good to get a bargain and tasty too!

Best donut shop around. Always fresh, great tasting donuts at amazing prices. At a time when everything costs so much (especially food), they haven’t raised the prices in years!

I just wanted to say that this is one of the best donut shops around. Fresh, great tasting donuts and Amazing prices! A dozen regular donuts for $12.50! At a time when prices for everything has more than doubled, this shop has kept the down!!!

Cash only if I remember right, they've been in business since the 90's even though it's not visible from the parking lot, tells you all you need to know about how good they are. Super cheap, super yummy. Hidden gem in San Diego

Live in Rancho Peñasquitos for 40 years. Been to different donuts shops, but still continue to return to PQ Donuts! Every time I visit my young adult children in Hawaii they ask for PQ donuts.

Best donuts around. And so friendly. Definitley recommend. We've tried donuts at many shops and none compare to PQ's freshness.
There no place that gives you a better donut at a competitive price point. I vividly remembering running to get PQ donuts after 5th grade class. I’m 32 now and have lived in different countries and cities where I’ve sampled countless donuts/fried pastries. PQ Donuts is a humble business with an incredible, consistent product. Not campy or over-the-top, just the humble classics executed perfectly and deliciously. A must try when you’re in the area.

I've been going to Pq Donuts for decades, literally at least since the early 90's when I was 12yo...this place is and has always been delish. Just like another reviewer said, if you want off the wall donuts with a twist then keep on walking. For those who complain that they only take cash and find it sketchy/inconvenient because they don't have an atm inside, then really keep on walking to the 3 other banks in the same dang shopping center and get cash, it's not that serious. More complaints because they only take cash, it's not new and they've always only taken cash for. Decades and apparently being archaic has been working for them and doesn't bother majority of this community. These donuts are absolutely worth it and you can't beat the price. If you happened to get "bad customer service", realize that because the donuts are awesome they do get busy and with like other businesses it can get hectic. If all that seriously bothers you, walk to Vons. -Snooches

Best donuts in SD!!!!I grew up around the PQ area and would always stop by for some delicious donuts when I was in highschool. I believe this is a dad & son duo running the shop but it's been some years since I've been back. You're always going to be greeted with friendly service and the fluffiest donuts in town! I stopped by this morning and grabbed half a dozen + 1 cinnamon roll + half doz donut holes for $10.15. I'll be back soon hopefully :-)

We came here on a Sunday morning at 9AM and drove around the parking lot like dummies for far too long before realizing this little shop is attached to / behind Cotija! Ordered an apple fritter, maple bar, an old fashioned and chocolate donut which came to about $5. Delicious delicious delicious and would definitely return. Note they are cash only.
