    A hidden no-frills, nostalgic donut gem! The fact that I only found this mom-and-pop shop via Too Good To Go was kind of crazy as the prices and quality of the donuts were amazing. It's located in the corner of a small plaza on Voltaire St and Poinsettia Dr in Point Loma. There is a small parking lot that could get very busy especially during lunch and after school time. As mentioned, I only found this little classic donut shop through Too Good To Go. Amazing that they're on the app to reduce waste! But what's even more amazing was the quality of their donuts. They're huge and fluffy for a cheap price! $2-3 for a big donut is a steal nowadays! There was a variety of options to choose from as well. Their drinks menu was also just as cheap, ranging from $1-3 a cup. In this economy? CRAZY! From the feel of the shop, they do seem to make their own donuts. A hidden mom-and-pop gem with the inflating economy. Definitely will be back for more in the future. So please support local such as this shop even if it's just a small purchase or through the Too Good to Go app so that they can also reduce wasting unsold items. P.S. Cash only! There is an ATM in the shop to pull money out of.

    The absolute best! Everything about this donut shop is amazing. I love the French crueler....my husband likes the maple bars and my kids love the donut holes (we call them "dozens" but if you're from the east coast they are munchkins!) This is a family-run business and we come every week and my kids think it's really special to be a "regular" somewhere. It's like our own version of a pub!!

    The bars and raised donuts were huge!

    This is my favorite place to pickup donuts for a crowd...or when I have an excuse to get donuts. I'm a fan of mom and pop old school donuts. These are always fresh and don't leave a gross oily after taste like some other places do. I'm a huge fan of their chocolate old fashion and chocolate cake donuts, blueberry, and the buttermilk old fashion bar here. But they are all great. My kids love the glazed raised. The donuts are huge too! Very reasonably priced. The older ladies here are cute and sweet. Always service with a smile. The place is clean and homey. Not much room so it's not a place to get coffee and sit but more of a take to go. Your car will smell delicious.

    $6.45 too good to go

    I come here all the time for the French cruellers. It's the best. I don't know how make theirs but it's unlike the other donut shops. It's consistent in both of their locations. One day, I noticed they had a too good to go deal and wanted to see what's it's like. It's soooo worth it. For $6.45, you get a dozen donuts and some donut holes (see pic). The donuts were still soft and delicious. Service was really fast. It's a tiny shop so it's best to just do take out. The parking lot here is very small.

    Mixed dozen of donuts including, cake, old fashioned, and buttermilk.

    Was in the area and had a craving for donuts, so decided to check this place out. It's located in a small plaza so parking is a bit limited. The shop was clean and had some indoor seating, and the service was great. Staff was super friendly and patient with us as we decided what donuts we wanted. We got a mix of old fashioned, cake, and buttermilk donuts. The old fashioned and buttermilk donuts were solid, but the cake donut (especially the blueberry donut) was one of the best ones I've ever had. If you're in the area I'd highly recommend coming for the cake donut, you won't be disappointed.

    The staff is so friendly! There is a wide variety of drink options, fresh prepared and in the case as well. Good selection of classic yummy donut flavors to choose from. Small shop with a couple tables, but definitely more of a grab and go environment. Cash only but they have an ATM inside. It's a little parking lot in a busy area so just be mindful about that. Especially after school as it's right next to the high school!

    Really great donut shop in Point Loma! The donuts were fresh and the people were so friendly. I love a sugar donut and it was so soft and fluffy inside! Savry was so nice and welcoming! We will definitely return!

    Small shop with a few tables, and a shared parking lot. It is cash only but there's an ATM inside if needed. Very friendly and quick service. They have a large variety of donuts and croissants, as well as teas and other drinks. The prices are great, and if I lived in the area or was with people, I would have grab a dozen to try! The Apple Fritter was crisp with the glaze, and had chunks of apples throughout. It was a little on the sweet side for me, but really tasty! The Buttermilk Donut (Plain Glazed) was soft and you can really taste the buttermilk! The Small Hot Tea (I opted for Stash's Wild Raspberry Hibiscus) helped wash everything down. Definitely a great spot to have a quick bite!

    Custard filled, guava filled, cruller, and in the back is an old-fashioned with a bite missing because I just couldn't wait.

    I just demolished a donut for dinner and had to immediately jump on to share 5 stars. As someone who doesn't really care about donuts typically, this is news. This is a return trip. A few weeks ago I saw they had a guava filled donut and stopped in mid-dog walk. Normally don't enjoy a filled donut (too sweet) but this delectable treat was light and delicious. I finished it in seconds. I've been thinking about that guavt for weeks, and finally went back to grab one tonight (love their late hours!) as "dessert." When I saw allll the flavors I found myself also ordering an old fashioned, cruller, and a custard filled. It's not easy to find real custard! They filled it fresh on the spot, and carefully handed it to me. When I got home I realized my old-fashioned donut was still warm from the FRESH batch they were working on. I ate pre-dinner so I could enjoy it...and wow did I. After you visit you'll see what I mean. It's a gem. Looks like an old Subway but smells like donut heaven. Take cash if possible. They have an ATM, but no Apple Pay. They also offer plenty of drinks/coffees, which I didn't get to test. I'm sure they're amazing based on how much care goes into the donuts.

    It's the delicious traditional donut we all grew up with! What more can one ask for? The owner is friendly and welcoming. It's the local morning spot you don't want to miss out on! Support family owned businesses and shop local!

    CASH ONLY! Also atm available inside. The story is tidy, clean and pricing is up front and organized. Got a tea, coffee and a TGTG order that was impressive. Donuts tasted great and still fresh. Parking available in the plaza. Quick friendly service as well.

    I was surprised at how much I loved these donuts. They are definitely some of the best donuts I have had. We ordered a selection of donuts, and they were all very good. The ones that were glazed were crispy on the outside, and nice and soft on the inside. My favorites were the old fashioned and the buttermilk bar, but other ones we got were the vanilla glazed cruller, blueberry cake donut, apple fritter, Bavarian cream, and cinnamon cake donut. They had a good selection of donuts to choose from, and I thought they were pretty reasonably priced. I would definitely come back here again!

    Dozen donuts

    Bought some donuts from here on the way to a Christmas party! They are moist, made fresh daily and delicious! The donuts were very affordable. The establishment is cash only, and they have an ATM if needed.

Their milk chocolate mocha with light ice was delicious It made me very happy and our pup was super happy with the treat they gave him. They have a small bakery display which I passed on since we were getting brunch soon, but I'm sure there's something for everyone there. This location is open 7 days a week- 6:30am-1pm.

In the early afternoon, this place had a line, which is a good sign. The line moved quickly but also gave me time to study their menu to see what I wanted. They specialize in Hawaiian style drinks, so I settled on a Hawaiian matcha. The guy taking me order was super sweet and friendly. I was wearing my favorite Monterey Bay Aquarium sweatshirt and he commented on how that aquarium is one of his favorites! Me too! He asked me what was my favorite thing about the aquarium and I told him the sea otters. I asked what his favorite was and he said the jellyfish exhibition and omg that was soo good! I remember being at that exhibit for awhile as the jellyfish light up and there are so many kinds and so cool to see how they move! In any case, it was so nice to talk about an aquarium we both love!! The Hawaiian matcha was great! I love that they used their Hawaiian syrup in my drink. The drink was pricey, so with oat milk substitution, and a tip, it came to $10. But, think of it this way, you are also using their beautiful facilities and you can lounge here and do work, read, spend some time here. The place is massive, with tons of seating inside (its all open space, so a nice ocean breeze keeps coming thru), and lots of seats outside too! I LOVE THIS PLACE!!

First and foremost, I am a gin lover (I'm a rare diamond in the rough). I also got it because I love drinking calamansi juice so the two will pair well for my taste.
