“Best donuts of many shops I have been to between here and Costa Mesa. Really excellent donuts and the breakfast croissants are great too.“

“Stopped in right before closing and was greeted by a kind lady that was happy I was there. Which is rare these days especially if you walk in right before closing.... but we were craving donuts 🍩 😋 got a dozen of the most delicious 🍩 🍩 !!! And got a few extra thrown in for free. 💗 so yummy so kind will be my go to place from now on.“

“What a delightful place!! I’ve recently moved to the area and I’m thrilled to have this shop so close to me! The owner was SO sweet. I even received a free donut!🙂 I ordered an avocado and cream cheese bagel as well as donuts. Everything was delicious! The best donuts I’ve ever eaten. I’m a loyal customer now!“

“I highly recommend the ham and cheese stuffed croissant. Caution with the jalapeños. I don't know how they don't, but 99% of the time, these jalapeños slices are actually spicy. Can't have enough of these, but do actively manage self control. I've taken them to my coworkers in Escondido and have been told they've made the commute for them too. This is a great donut shop and have a wide range of all the popular options.“

“This place right down the street from my home. I have been going here for years now & will continue to do so. Everyone is very friendly & the donuts are delicious. Yesterday my husband and I stopped by at noon to pick up 3 dozens of donuts to take to our cousins viewing in Tj. We told this to the lady helping us, then she said "wait, let me give you something!" And she gave us 1 dozen donuts for FREE! Her kindness just brought joy to my heart & we thank her for her beautiful action. You all have a blessed weekend.“

“awesome great service had avocado toast and charly“

“We are the biggest East Coast fans of this West Coast donut shop. OMG. Absolutely the best donuts in SoCal… and they are way under $6 (Oceanside reference on a newer shop… for real $6!!). The family and team are so nice and welcoming. Often they gift you a little donut hole to your order 🥰“

“Custard kronut is so GOOD! Nice new place with delicious 🍩. Will definitely come back!“

“Love the donuts ?, but the family is the best. So friendly and caring. Tuesday and Thursday mornings there are seniors that meet outside and they know all of them. They are always refilling coffee and help everyone one find a seat that needs one.“

“Their donuts and croissants are great! I have not had anything like theirs anywhere else. I absolutely recommend this donut shop!!!“

“What a neat place and concept to get your own donuts. Very clean, well-kept place. I stumbled on this place while picking up a sandwich around dinner time. They had a lot of donuts for that time of day. The owner was there he is super nice and made me feel welcomed. The donuts tasted so good, perfect and big. I will definitely go back to this donut shop again. Anyone going to the hospital or around this area should for sure go here.

Kid-friendliness: Kids love donuts

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes there are ramps and parking“

“Ever since I have arrived in Oceanside, this place has the best, freshest, and selection of donuts around! I also have their Natural, made to order juices in the morning, and their croissants are super delicious. The owners are extremely friendly, and always accommodate my Pup with a donut hole. 🐾“

“Tom and Lily are always so kind🙏🏽❤️LEUCADIA DONUTS have the VERY BEST APPLE FRITTERS on the planet 🌎 😋. Tom almost always asks how our triplet sons are since they were born 22 years ago. Our family has been committed customers since 1993!!“

“My girlfriend and I were visiting for a wedding and stopped in for a snack before the ceremony. The food was amazing, iced coffee had the perfect blend and we had the croissant sandwiches and they were perfect. If you’re visiting and need someone to go for breakfast or just a snack, I’d recommend this place 11/10 times.“

“Loved this little place and the experience brought with it! Latte was made perfectly; mildly sweet with a creamy vanilla finish. Donut melted away in my mouth. Lighting, seating, and cleanliness was perfect for the Carlsbad area. 🩵“

“Thank you so much for the wonderful Easter donuts!!! Our family truly enjoyed them and as always beautifully decorated. 😀🐇“

“Golden donut always has the freshest donuts in the area, they have a great selection of donuts to choose from, Smoothies and iced coffee blends are delicious, The Golden Donut is a mom & pop shop- family owned and operated. I highly recommend everyone try these donuts. You won’t be let down.“

“Fantastic donut shop! I remember coming here when I was younger and it’s still just as amazing now. The donuts are warm and delicious, the iced coffee is homemade AND they take debit/credit cards now (beware there is a $10 minimum though.) I’ll be back again soon!“

“I love love their chai tea!! It was the best one, there isn't one like theirs! They also are like family! 💕 sweet, loving and understanding, once you get know them. They also remember what you like/order everytime you go. Truly miss them!“

“The customer service is awesome. Apparently, the air conditioner was not working or it's just too hot today. I ordered apple fritters and a sausage,bacon, and ham croissant. The fritters looked so fresh in the window. I will definitely be back tomorrow for more. The croissant sandwich was delicious. This place is a true gem!“

“Sam’s donuts have the best Apple fritters and cinnamon rolls around this area!! We tried others in Oceanside and nothing compares!! We’ve been coming here since 2010. We had moved to Texas back in 2018 and couldn’t find Apple fritters like Sam’s Donuts!! We were very disappointed! We have came back to Oceanside and very happy that we did bc now we’re enjoying our Apple fritters from Sam’s Donuts again! Love love love my Apple fritters from Sam’s Donuts!!❤️❤️?“

My friend and I sell steak, seafood and chicken off a truck across southern California, Nevada and Arizona. Along the way we hit every dive bar, greasy spoon and habadashery along the way. This morning I dipped into Parlor doughnuts for coffee and a doughnut.
Parking is curbside so it is going to a bit hit and miss but you won't have to hike too far to park. The vibe inside is laid back and business is brisk, the staff were wonderful and clearly enjoy working here.
All seating is outside with today was a bummer because it rained all night so the patio furniture was wet but I didn't mind.
How cool is this? Not only are they dog friendly they have a dog menu! The coffee was great and the doughnut was cream filled, gooey, and flakes and decadent. It was truly a treat. Doughnuts and coffee ran me a little over $10 and that included a $2.50 tip. What a treat!“

“Got a deal on their mini donuts, but they were from the night before. They were good, but they would have been better selling them at the end of the day the night before. I also bought extra fresh ones and they were yummy. Perfect 2 bite donuts, variety of flavors and they change daily. Service was good and it was in a good court with other vendors, which was a cool spot.“

“Google searched for a donut shop that was close to the car wash that I frequent prior to going to work on a Saturday morning so I can bring a dozen donuts to share with my coworkers. Mr. Donuts is a donut that I would usually go to that sell just regular donuts (glazed, chocolate, maple, etc...) and not these newer shops that make these "fancy" concoctions like, donuts mixed with some type of breakfast or some other mixed flavored type of donut. So, I just got a mix of maple bars, glazed twists, old-fashioned glazed, sugar, etc...and everything tasted great and fresh. My coworkers and I enjoyed the donuts from here and even one of them said that they've had donuts from Mr. Donuts and her and her family always get donuts from there. So, I do recommend this donut shop. The gentleman, who possibly could've been the owner/donut maker, that helped was very nice and courteous. I'll get his name the next time I go there. I did notice that they sell breakfast types of sandwiches and saw a couple of people walking out with them so I will have to try one next time as well. A great local donut shop that you should go to and try.“

“Best donut shop ever. Great neighborhood location.
I used to have a great love for donuts into a prices got up to 3, 4 and $5 per donut. I pretty much stopped eating them because that's ridiculous. I recently discovered donut star. Donuts are slightly over a dollar and they are large and amazing. The people who work there are very friendly an accommodating. I still have to watch my calories but at least I know I can buy a donut for less than the cost of breakfast. Some of these other shops who begged for our support during covid should be ashamed of themselves because since our supply chains have picked up again their prices have not gone down. It makes me extremely upset every time I hear about a company making record profits. It was also helped them get their as consumers and now they have no regard or respect for us.
Donut Star is a shining star.“

“I've been looking for that one buttermilk old fashioned from my childhood from the bread man that drove around called the helm's truck when i was a kid, and Foster's donuts got it, finally lol!
Totally reminded me of that truck!
Thank you Foster's donuts!“

“My normal donut shop was closed and I just had to have an apple fritter...I'm sure you understand. So this place came up as close by and I headed there immediately. The staff was super friendly and the apple fritter was great! When...I got back to my car and noticed a free donut hole in the bag! That is the best way to start your day!“

“I always come here in the mornings for my bagel and a cup of coffee.
Even though is busy in the mornings, they are quick and you are in and out in less than 5 minutes after taking your order.
The lady who’s always there looks exhausted but she’s on top of everything and makes sure you are happy with your order.
I forgot to mention that I couldn’t find parking so I had to park by the restaurant that sold chicken.“

“Tiny donut shop in the middle of Carlsbad Village. Everything is fresh and delicious. My favorite donut in the world is their lemon pistachio old fashioned. Hubby loves the chocolate cake with coconut. They don't have fancy pastries, just really great donuts. Friendly counter service, best donuts in the area.“

“Started driving by Tan’s in 1985 on my way to L.A. 4 in the morning. Always a crumb donut. Mr Tan always greeted me. Retired now , I get by every couple months!“

“We were just at a super expensive donut shop and it was awful. Thank goodness for Yum Yum. They always deliver. You can count on a great selection of wonderful, fresh donuts.

We had not been to this one in some time, but we were in town and stopped. We bought the 14 for a dozen price knowing we would take home bunch.

The place, as always was clean, parking so easy and the service is so nice and friendly. We just can never go wrong at Yum Yum.

We also love their bagels. Now, we do ask when they were made because we want super fresh.

They also have some great sandwiches. You can have an entire meal there. And the prices are just so reasonable.

We just love it. We will be back.“

“Been (im)patiently waiting for this to open...Parking can be tricky at peak lunch and dinner times but mostly it's great. Once you're in, the vibe is great. They have a little spot to take pics in front of a grass backdrop! Seating area was plenty too!The 3 flavors we tried were cookies and cream, strawberry and glazed. Each tasted great with the glazed being my favorite. The strawberry one was still good but it seemed like it was missing something. Cookies and cream were a little too sweet for me but if you like sweet or fixing for a sweet tooth, go for it!The service was great! She was so friendly, helpful and gave her personal recommendations. She seemed to like all of them but she was able be specific with flavors so it was super helpful!“

“Mmmm 😋 the sweet smell and melt in your mouth YUMMINESS makes me feel like a child again“

“I come here weekly and the staff is amazing! Anyone that doesn't think service workers deserve a living wage should visit this place during the morning rush. To management you got an amazing team, would love to see the return of the tip jar“
