This is a mom and pop shop that sells old school donuts. They are fresh and flavorful and I like the small town feel of the place. The service was prompt and attentive. The prices are fair and it feels like the kind of place where you could become a regular. read more

We like to get our donuts here. Nice family, good donuts. Cash only. You can sit inside but we prefer to-go. The tables are where people line up or right on the parking lot. This time I got 14 m&ms donuts for the baseball team plus a couple siblings. read more

What a local gem! The options here are overwhelming, but you can't go wrong. There are lots of different types of donuts, so I definitely recommend a variety box, especially if you're gonna share. The texture of all the different types were spot on. I still dream about the fluffiness. Cash only, but there is ATM inside. read more

Christy's Donuts - Step on up - Donuts Near Me - San Diego, California

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. read more

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!! read more

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. read more

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. read more

Christy's Donuts - $6.45 too good to go - Donuts Near Me - San Diego, California

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. read more

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! read more

This is the best donut spot in Point Loma. It's a family-owned shop run by such wonderful, friendly, hardworking people. I love that they're sometimes open until 8 pm, perfect for a sweet dessert stop in the evening. They have a great variety of fresh pastries and my favorites are the chocolate donut with coconut flakes, the French donut with maple frosting, and the apple fritters. All perfectly made and absolutely delicious. Highly recommend stopping by for a treat (or two)! read more

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! read more

Top 3 apple fritter of my career... and quite possibly number 1. Put it in the microwave for 20 seconds and HOLY F*CKIN SH*T!!!

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! read more

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. read more

I have no idea why it took me this long to leave a review for Christy's Donuts because they definitely deserve it. Hands down, this is my favorite donut shop in San Diego. I live in the UTC area, but I'm always willing to make the drive because I believe its that good, and I love supporting this business. Every time I come here, the donuts are big, fresh, and absolutely delicious. They have a great selection from classic glazed, crumb, maple bars, old fashioneds, filled donuts, donut holes, you name it. No matter what I get, it's always soft, fluffy, and just the right amount of sweet. The best part is that their prices are super reasonable, especially compared to some of the trendier spots charging double for half the quality. On top of that, they also participate in Too Good To Go, offering an assorted box to help reduce food waste, unlike the big chains that unfortunately throw away their leftovers at the end of the night. The shop itself is small and quaint, but don't let that fool you! This place knows how to make a proper donut. It's nothing fancy, but it has that old-school, no-frills charm that makes it feel homey. Their drinks are super and refreshing too, so make sure to try some when you stop by. The ladies working here are always so kind, greeting you with a smile and making you feel welcome. They work quickly for their older age, even when there's a line, and I've never had a bad experience. The parking lot is a little tight, but I've never had trouble finding a spot. Bottom line is that if you want the best donuts in San Diego, this is the spot that I will 100% recommend. read more

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. read more

First off, the staff or owner is incredibly friendly. I would recommend supporting Christy's for this alone. However, the donuts are fresh, delicious, and varied in flavors. I look forward to the smile that comes with purchase and am grateful for their presence in the community. Besides donuts, coffee and other essentials are included in their menu. read more

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! read more

Christy's has been my fun treat for over 5 years. I can't seem to stay away and now that I've moved, I've found myself searching for the perfect cakey bite of sweetness. Tucked away in a small parking lot next to Stump's market, you'll find this cute family owned donut shop: Christy's. You're greeted right away and the women remember you if you're a regular which is very cute. You'll find the shop filled with people in the mornings because the donuts here are DIVINE!! The prices are fair for the quality received. You have the option to get your donuts filled with whip cream or custard (filled at time of ordering). Choose from old fashion, cake donuts, raised donuts, sprinkles, jelly filled... whatever your little heart desires Let the perfect moist and delicious donuts rock your taste buds next time you're on the point. It's truly love at first BITE If you love this place, you'll love their family's other place in the same lot P.L Bagels. Next time you want to spread some cheer at work or a gathering, stop in to grab some donuts and then some yummy bagels. Star of the show in the making! read more

I came across this place years ago since it's in the same small shopping plaza of one of my favorite bagel shops. They have always had fresh donuts and people are consistently coming and going for these delicious treats. The prices are not outrageous by any means, when you walk inside, you can smell the aroma of fresh baked goodies. I want to say their glazed donut comes pretty close to a fresh Krispy Kreme donut, it's so soft, pillowy and delicious. They pretty much have all kinds of donuts: many yeast donuts(glazed, sugar, cinnamon, etc) old -fashioned donuts (all diff kinds), buttermilk (different kinds) Cake donuts (glazed, frosting or sprinkles), many types of long johns and twists, Filled donuts.(fruit, custard, white) They have 'white cream filled' donuts. Many places on the west coast do not carry 'white cream' filled donuts. (some of these are higher in price, but more of specialty donuts) Favorites: 1. Plain glazed yeast donut 2. Apple fritter (they have larger and smaller one, if you are getting a dozen donuts you can get the small fritters) 3. Crullers! (not too many places have these so my last visit I lucked out..) 4. White cream filled ones are pretty good. The staff that work here are so kind. You can see they work very hard and are very efficient. I am always in support of local businesses, especially ones where you see them consistently working so hard and are so kind to everyone. Hands down this small mama and papas shop beats some of the 'fancy' expensive trendy donut shops. When I was last there, one lady told me she was from out of state and has to always stop in while visiting SD. Another family noted they loved this shop's donuts so much and their dad was a German baker so they knew baked goods. The last time I visited I bought 3 dozen. One to keep for my family and one to give to each of my friends and their familes. Food: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Ambiance: 5/5 (local shop, all the donuts on display) read more

French cruller this time with chocolate frosting was again the freshest at 3pm on a Saturday. The blueberry cake with blueberry frosting was so so. The buttermilk with blueberry frosting was the least fresh. Parked in lot. Credit cards accepted. 4 tables inside. Short wait for fresh coffee to be made. Two ladies serving have probably done so for a long time. read more

Delicious donuts. Fast, friendly service. Cash only signs had me panicking, but they also accept Venmo.

Yesterday we ordered "too good to go "from Christy's donuts when we went to pick them up,the ladies there were so nice. They we're getting ready to close up and filled up our box with at least 15 donuts. They were delicious and did not seem like they were day old. We got such a deal using our app and I can see my businesses do this instead of wasting perfectly good food. read more

Best blueberry donuts!!!! They even have old fashion blueberry, the two best donuts combined! Sweet but not too sweet with the best texture.

Got more varieties at the tail end of our trip. Tried the blueberry cake donuts, cinnamon, Bavarian cream, old fashioned, buttermilk. Vanilla cruellers. They were all amazing. The bavarjan is filled full of cream. Everything looks like it would be a standard donut but it's all perfectly glazed and crunchy in the outside. We went again towards the end of the day and the donuts were still amazingly fresh. read more

Randomly went here while waiting for our burrito a couple doors down. You can smell the donuts from the outside in the parking lot and it made me crave a maple donut. There was no one in the store and it looked very similar to other mom & pop donut shops. The Asian lady working there took our order and recommended we either get a blueberry or chocolate with peanuts donut since they just came out of the oven. We ordered the maple, two different blueberry donuts and the choco with peanuts. She was so sweet to let us know she had some fresh ones. The donuts surprised us bc they were so good and moist. Our fave was the blueberry without the glaze bc it was similar to the m&m donut in Anaheim. The maple was perfect and the choco w/ peanuts was decadent. We don't live close to here but hopefully next time we're around we would love to drop by again. read more

Stumbled upon Christy's perfect little shop. Inside was small, but bright & smelled so delicious! I judge a donut shop off their donut holes. Christy's did not disappoint! Light, fluffy, sweet. Mmmm! I was the only one in there & the lady was super nice! They have a guava filled donut that we chatted about. I've never seen that & I loveeee guava. I unfortunately did not get it this time, but I will be back for it! read more

We had donuts in the Midwest but nothing like California. There are donut shops everywhere out here and the competition is fierce! I consider myself lucky that my favorite donut shop is just a short walk away. The storefront is unassuming, and the donuts are not flashy, but they are delicious! My favorite for a long time was a Chocolate Raised- a fluffy donut with a little chocolate on top (see the one with M&M's- they are optional). After several years of consistency I had to branch out so I tried the Chocolate Cake with colored sprinkles (see top R in the box). OMG they are so good!! Some people want super fancy stuff with designs, or huge donuts, or funky flavors. I just like good tasting basic donuts. For this- Christy's can't be beat!
