Barrio Donas - Jamaica Abuelita Horchata - Donuts Near Me - San Diego, California

I came here for one thing and one thing only. Churro donuts. They did not have it. I was informed by the staff they don't carry Churro donuts at this location. I was disspaointed to hear that. I did not see anywhere on their website saying they only carry certain donuts and certain locations. I'm not local to SD so many the locals would know but I wish there was more info about it. Anyways we ended up picking up one donut to try. It was the caramel one. It was nice and airy and the caramel was actually not too sweet. It didn't feel heavy at all. read more

Small kiosk located in the Old Town Urban Market. They had a good selection of Mexican-inspired donuts. We got the Guyaba, Peanut Butter (Reeses) Mazapan, Gansito and a tamale. The Mazapan donut was really interesting because the texture of the glaze is a little bit harder due to the Mazapan. So you get the softness of the donut but when you get to the icing/glaze, you really have to bite through it. Interesting texture but the flavor was very good. The Gansito was very interesting and. I didn't know what to expect. It has an eclair-like shape and the dough was a bit more firm than I was expecting. However the filling inside was really good with cream and some red fruit jam. Overall these donuts are definitely unique and different where I would consider coming back to try some other flavors! read more

This was my first time trying any Barrio Donas locations and I was so happy to find unique donuts! If you're looking for a pick-me-up or love Horchata, this is also a place to check out! We got the Guava Cheese/Cream donut (filled with guava jam and whipped cream cheese?) and topped with icing and a cookie. We also got the Jamaica donut which had a tart glaze on top with a cute sugar hibiscus flower decor. Both were good but different vibes. If you want a decadent and rich donut, the guava one is the way to go and it's not too overly sweet. If you're looking for a lighter donut and like the acidic taste, the Jamaica one is delicious! They also sell De Olla Cold Brew which tastes like a Mexican cinnamon iced coffee and horchata! We got the cold brew and horchata separately but I recommend just getting the combination drink! They're both good on their own but because of how authentic the horchata tastes, mixing the two was a match made in heaven--seriously. Pricey but I would get it again! This donut shop is in the new food court area in Old Town closer to the end streets on the bus station end. There is some seating outside and the store employee was friendly! read more

I've been to the Barrio Donas Old Town location several times and absolutely love their donuts--my favorite is the Chocolate Abuelita, which I get every time. It's a charming little donut shop located in a small plaza with other eateries, making it a convenient spot to grab more food. I especially enjoy stopping by Elote Old Town next door for a bite. That said, I'm giving this place 3 stars because of the consistently unfriendly service. Every time I visit, the cashier seems to be in a bad mood, which makes the experience uncomfortable. You even have to ask for your donuts to be packed to-go, which feels like an inconvenience for them. If they could improve their customer service, it would make such a difference and likely attract more loyal customers. The donuts are amazing, but the poor service holds this place back from its full potential. read more

Simple but solid spot for some donuts and coffee. I swung by Monday morning right at 9am and they were ready to serve customers. I went with the Guava Maria donut and an iced Cafe de olla + horchata. The donut was flufft and soft, filled with guava jam and whipped cream, topped with icing and a maria cookie. The jam and top icing wasn't too sweet and tasted good, my only wish was that there wasn't whipped cream inside since it's just there as a filler, and the cookie being stuck in half way got soggy. I know it's only one cookie and only half of it was soggy, but I still would've liked a full cooked laid on top! The coffee was outstanding though! Smooth and slightly sweet cafe de olla with the rich and milky horchata. A solid mixture and great way to start the morning read more

They need to update their hours online so not come Tuesday-Thursday they are only open on the weekends which is extremely inconvenient for those who are locals like myself. What a waste of time hopefully they do give future customers who aren't so local a heads up with their hours on google and Apple Maps read more

This was my first time going to the urban market in old town San Diego. I've been wanting to go for a while. And this place was one of the reasons why I wanted to go. The donuts here at Barrio Donas were so good and flavorful. You could taste all the unique flavors of each ingredient. The donuts were soft and pillowy. I got a half of dozen to try a couple of their different donuts they had. I got Paleta Payaso Gansito Abuelita Strawberry guava Horchata Pumpkin I spent a little over $19.00 for 6 donuts My family and I loved everything we got. Each donut had its own unique flavor. They weren't overly sweet which I love. I would definitely recommend this cute little donut shop to my family and friends! read more

We were excited about visiting and trying their coffee and donuts. Unfortunately, they fell flat on flavor. The donuts were ok. Not as soft and fresh as donuts should be. Donuts averaged about $3.50 each. The cafe de olla cold brew and the strawberry jamaica were hard to swallow. We threw out the cafe de olla after three sips. We purchased another lemonade drink to sweeten up the strawberry jamaica, it didn't help. We gladly support small businesses so we'd come back and give them another chance in the future because it may have been an off day. Parking wasn't an issue because we got here pretty early. The collection of small shops here is very cute. Plenty of tables outside. read more

Such a cute donut shop tucked into the Old Town Urban Market. There aren't tables indoors but there are some tables outside in the courtyard area. They have really unique flavors, we got the cajeta and horchata flavors. The donuts are really soft/fluffy and can get a little messy especially if you're eating them on a warmer day. They taste delicious! I personally prefer the "crispy" fried donuts but these would be perfect with a cup of coffee, it melts in your mouth. They do sell out of flavors so try to come earlier if you want to have more options! Prices are fair for craft donuts. read more

Don't sleep on these donuts! They are delicious!!! Had the Payaso (like the lollipop) , a mango and lemon donut!!! All of them were perfect, super sweet but perfect!! They also have an horchata that I will definitely run to get over and over because is was amazing!! read more

Barrio Donuts is now officially popping up on Saturdays and Sundays at the Old Town Urban Market. I had "La Cajeta" doughnut which was very good. The cajete on top was very creamy and I really appreciated the slice almonds and pecan halves on top. The doughnut itself was very soft and tasty. It was a very good doughnut, and I appreciated the fact that the cajete was not overwhelming. They do not carry all of the doughnut line up as the Clairemont location, but at least six varieties at the time, and perhaps more in the near future. Service was super friendly, and remember they are only their Saturdays and Sundays. Hopefully more days of the week as the summer season approaches. read more

GO BUY DONUTS HERE! They don't have a big variety so I was a little disappointed BUT nonetheless, I got a few that I wanted to try. I'm so glad I gave them a try. The freshness was there even though they aren't made there (because that's not the main shop), still the donuts were so fluffy and soft and not oily at all. The flavor of the glaze: AMAZING! You can taste the flavors without the overwhelming sugar flavor. Customer service was great, the young lady that helped us was polite and very upbeat. These donuts were so good we actually went to the main shop in Clairemont to see all the flavors they actually have. The picture are from the main shop.

After eating at Old Town Mexican Cafe, we were walking around and stumbled onto this place. We ordered 2 donuts to go. There weren't very many to choose from cuz it was at the end of the of the day, but the 2 we got were delicious. The donuts are nice and fluffy and taste yummy. read more

Such a cute little donut shop in the Old Town urban market. I got the chocolate mazapan donut which has a chocolate peanut butter flavor. The donut texture was different from what I'm used to. It seems like they cook the donuts differently than a traditional fry because it didn't have a crispiness on the outside. Instead it was very soft and inside was really fluffy. It felt lighter than a traditional donut which I liked. I also enjoyed that it has nice flavors without being too sweet. read more

Unfortunate that they don't work their posted hours, they're losing out on quite a bit of business. I came by at 10:40AM and they were closed (posted hours on Google and at the door say they open at 10AM). Saw a 4 more people stop by and leave as I was waiting for my order at Coffee Culture across the way. I was there for about 10-15 minutes, I'm sure way more people are being turned away. Such a bummer! read more

I've have Barrio Donas before in Clairemont but only for the horchata. This was the first time I actually tried the donuts and had no clue there was a location in Old Town. The place was a little tricky to find since it was tucked in a small area next to other eateries. I ended up ordering some horchata drinks and a half dozen of donuts. The drinks were obviously great since I've had them before. I tried a piece of each assorted donut and they were also very delicious. I'll definitely return. read more

Fancy donuts w a Mexican twist. Similar to sidecar donuts. Super cute shop and friendly cashier. Went to Old Town store. Didn't know there was one in Clairemont. Would have liked to try to churro donut. 20$ for half dozen. They have a deal for 49$ - one dozen donuts, 6 tamales, and coffee. Great for office. read more

I had to move back to Oklahoma from San Diego 2 years ago. I think about the Guava Maria donut on a regular basis. Genuinely have almost booked a flight just for the donut. 20/10 recommend. read more

The best donuts!! Unique flavors and perfect soft donuts! The vanilla was my favorite!

Unique donuts with Mexican inspired flavors! We got the guava and strawberry hibiscus donut. My favorite was the guava (5/5). It tasted very much like the fruit but wasn't overpoweringly sweet. The strawberry hibiscus was also good, but it was a little too sour for my liking (4/5). My boyfriend enjoyed it though! Overall, I would definitely recommend coming here if you're ever in old town San Diego. It's located in Urban Market, which is a mini food court with other Mexican food options! read more

Wow. We just poked our heads in out of curiosity and were blown away by the flavor choices. We got the reeces mazapan that was good. But then we got the hibiscus strawberry and was blown away. It's fruity and tangy but still yummy like a donut should be. Coming back to try the other flavors. Eye got my eye on lemon and strawberry peanut butter. read more

so amazing here! i go whenever i am passing by old town because the donuts are just that great! the customer service is always awesome and they are always so attentive. prices are definitely worth it because they have such unique flavors. their branding and logos just make it that much cuter when i visit. read more

Definitely go if in old town, unique donuts not the vast big menu like the other location really cool spot when out on a walk or run and treat yourself with some doughnuts lol! The service was awesome and welcoming very knowledgeable and definitely will be going back! read more

The donuts are absolutely INCREDIBLE! Hands down the best donuts we have ever had. We travel from out of state often and make sure to include Barrio Donas in our weekend plans every time. However, we seem to always get the same cashier who is not friendly and slightly rude, which makes the experience a little bit uncomfortable. Aside from this, Barrio Donas is a must try! read more

Donuts were delicious! Slightly sweet but full of wonderful flavor. Located inside a small set of stores in Old Town. Parked in the free lot and walked over in about 3 minutes read more

An update review from last time I went to Barrio Donas . I still feel it can use more filling inside, other than that great flavors, good dough and very cute spot. My review went up one star more from the last visit . Also service can be a bit more bright personality wise on the other side of counter . It matters (: read more
