Not So Rude Dude

This shop is a community icon. When you’re driving by and you see that you have a choice between Krispy Kreme and this, it’s not a hard decision. Sesame donuts wins every time.

The staff is so kind and very attentive. Their donuts taste unlike any other doughnut. And even though prices have raised over the years, no thanks to inflation, it is still well worth the money.

The shop is always clean. There are always open seats to hang out. And you can get in and out in less than five minutes if you feel the need. Also, can you beat the store hours? I mean, come on.

Long live sesame donuts.

Family owned, so friendly. The donuts are fresh soft and perfectly chewy! They are great with the children. They also have super mega donuts and donut holes and great coffee! Always fun to support local family, run businesses, especially the kind of caring folks here!

We drive all the way from Encinitas for the donuts!

OK, if there were a donut heaven--Sesame Donuts would be at the pearly gates! The vanilla cream donut is soft doughy ecstasy and sleek glaze twists/bowties are untouchable! The whole donut counter from top to bottom is sweet-heavenly tastes! Enjoyment eating these bad boys! Must visit if in San Diego short drive up the 15 North!

Apple fritter was under cooked, not crunchy on the edges and very small compared to before, & also other places. Other donuts were grocery store standard.

I tried this donut shop recently. The donuts were extremely sweet — honestly, some of the sweetest I’ve ever had. They looked nice, but the flavor was a bit too sugary for my taste. Overall, it was okay, but not something I’d go out of my way for again.

This place is way better than Krispy Kreme

and it’s family-owned, which makes it even sweeter to support.

What a wonderful surprise. I was in an area that I wasn't familiar with so I asked for a donut shop near me. This shop had so many specialty donuts that are included for the dozen price. I was there on a Sunday morning and they were filling order for many churchs.
