    Donuts
    Sandy Y.

    This is one time Yelp let us down. We were hoping for fresh, interesting donuts, and Crispy Donuts seemed like it would fit the bill. Unfortunately, it did not. We tried a few different options, including glazed, chocolate old-fashioned, and donut holes, but all tasted like they had been sitting out for a while. The glazed and the donut holes were rubbery, and the old-fashioned fell short on chocolate flavor. Service was fine, but nothing special, and that was my overall opinion of the place.

    The donuts here are very good. There is a very decent variety all kinds of choices. Even one that is made out of a croissant. If it looks delicious I got one they give free samples to taste them. They were delicious store was clean. The price was good. I got a lot of stuff for a bunch of hungry teenagers. Staff was very quick to help me. I was in and out in a few minutes. Thank you.

    So sad to post this. This has been our go to when in San Marcos but now we'll think twice before coming back. I went to purchase a dozen donuts. Waited in line, it was moving fairly quickly. I pick out my dozen and go to pay. The line behind me was backing up so I get my money out to pay quickly. I pay with cash because it's a family owned business and I thought I was doing a good thing to reduce their credit card fees. I have my $20 bill in my hand and the girl behind the counter looks at me and tells me the donuts are $20. Hmmm. That's a suspiciously nice round number. We've been coming here for years. YEARS. And I've never felt ripped off. Dozen donuts start at $15.50. The donuts weren't specialty ones. I didn't ask because the line was super long. Now I don't want to go back. And if of my family members do, we'll watch the receipt more closely. Real bummer.

    The cronutso are good but they're now $3.50 each. They recently expanded but it is still a mad house in the morning when they are busy.

    Is this the same crispys as the one in Chula Vista?

    I think they're a small business but I will ask next time if they have other locations.

    Is this place open during construction?

    Absolutely. Ownership not pleased about how their landlord handling the signage but they are ready to serve up. Was just there and will come more often to support them through the construction! Great donuts.

    Gluten free options available?

    No :(

    10 out of a 10!!! This place is like a candy store. They maximize their space, donut displays,…read moresitting area (under a cover). No inside seating, just a corner shop you walk up, order and leave happy! It's my first time here and I'll tell you what. It's hard to decide what to get because every donut looks delicious. Today I had the savory ham & cheese croissant with jalapenos, a maple bacon pillow and the crueller. It was a hard decision but we were so happy with what we got. I love a savory pastry when I visit these donut shops. Only sad part was that I wasn't going home so couldn't grab a few extras. These guys were super busy so bring your patience. Understandable, it's hard to decide. And the staff here are so patient. I'll be back for sure.

    The glazed pillow at Peterson's was one of the donuts I have ever had. This hybrid croissant donut…read moreis crunchy and flaky on the outside with a doughy soft center. The glaze is absolutely perfect. We also tried the chocolate and all agreed the glaze is the best. The set up of the place is simple and easy. They display the day's donuts in the window, you walk up and order, and get your donuts right away. You can sit and eat them there at some tables they have or just grab them to go like we did! I think about this donut a lot. It is huge and definitely can be split. However, if you are looking to indulge, I say it is completely worth it to eat it all yourself.

To get up to the store there is a ramp and the front door is a pull door but was left propped open today (Saturday). There is no bathroom here because it is a small bakery. They speak Spanish and English. Experience: I love this place! A new favorite bakery. This place is very clean and they have a great cleaning system set up for COVID (not sure if they had this pre-COVID also). They have a sign on the door that says masks required and only four people in the store at a time. When you come in, you put on hand sanitizer or gloves they provide, grab a clean tray and clean tongs to pick up the food you want. You can open the glass doors to the food you want then use the tongs to pick it up and put it on your tray, then close the glass again. When you are ready to pay you can go to the counter and they will bag things up for you. They do not take Discover cards or American Express, but everything else works. With your used tongs you put them in a box on the counter labeled used, and they take the used tray from you also at the counter. Overall: very accessible, clean, organized, awesome bakery!
