    Matcha Blueberry Donut & Seasonal Iced Latte
    Kylie S.

    Stumbled upon this cute Donut shop in Little Italy & wanted to try one of their donuts! I ordered the Matcha Blueberry and grabbed a Seasonal Latte Iced with Oatmilk (I forgot the name.. but definitely It had a hint of an orange flavor). The latte had great taste & still presented itself nicely as a coffee. The donut on the other hand, lacked a bit with the blueberry and matcha flavor sadly. The donut had a nice consistency and bite, so I would definitely love to give it another try with a different flavor.

    Been coming to this place for years and somehow just now writing this! Shame on me! I love it because it's limited. Not the normal overabundance in life now. Artisan stuff that ya feel fortunate to be early enough to get. Every flavor combo is super smart and despite my skepticism to some they always go together amazingly. The staff are always so nice...and, they're BUSY. The busy part never gets in the way of that niceness. So, I haven't been here since they put tables out front. I sat out there...feels almost like real city living. Nice touch. The upstairs is really nice too. Song lyrics going up the stairs that fill perfectly!

    Relaxed window service donut shop on Kettner in Little Italy. The donut we had was solid, honestly I liked the donut more than the brown butter topping, however that's just personal preference due to the limited options they had left when I showed up. Would definitely try again!

    Amazingly soft and perfectly sweet. GET THERE EARLY, because before I knew it the line got long. I got the Mexican Mocha with three donuts: chocolate glaze, old fashion chocolate glaze and vanilla bean. They WILL see me order again since I ate my husbands donut "on accident"

    This place has always been on my list of go to's and scrolling past the reviews, I saw they received a lot of negativity from their service and one person mentioned krispy kream tops them.... Krispy kream is for you if you like artificial tasting donuts, but Devil's Dozen tastes incredibly FRESH and DELICIOUS! As I was ordering, I can physically see someone preparing the dough for the donuts. Customer service was fine, but I'm here to order donuts and then go upstairs to their incredible patio to eat them. Upstairs would be a fantastic study spot too, I'm not sure if they have wifi but hotspot will do the trick. Devil's dozen and the store next door, kettner exchange is owned by the same person, although I've never been to exchange. This place would easily be five stars if parking wasn't a nightmare, if I'm not able to find something right away, I'd skip it rather than driving around. Donuts: 5/5 Service: 4/5 Parking: 3/5

    I came here with the lady for a pop up event with free coffee and donuts on a Saturday morning a few months back. We had planned to go the little Italy mercato after a quick stop. So we checked in at the window with the QR code and were sent upstairs where there music was bumping. Upstairs they had a DJ and even a Aperol spritz cart girl! Coffee was good and so were the donuts! I will definitely come back for these donuts. Many people were just ordering at the window to take them to go. Unaware of the event it appeared. There was a younger, beautiful crowd here but, to be honest at this stage of my life I'm totally unfazed.. I enjoyed the gorgeous rooftop view along with the other views, even if I did get elbowed by the wife.. Music was a house type electro-pop style. It was for the CRSSD spring event I believe. So the lady didn't want another coffee, but she did want an Aperol spritz. Suddenly the elbowing stopped, and we left happy.

    We wanted to try this donut place after seeing it on youtube and we were close by so we stopped by. Well it is downtown, so parking is a huge factor but luckily it was early and we were able to park in a mini parking lot in the back that they share with Kettner exchange restaurant after we had already went around the blocks once already. Its a cute little small window to order and they have an upstairs that had a dj playing music with a sitting area. They actually have a lot of sitting area too. Menu is basic and donuts are very different and unique and creative. I went ahead and got a chocolate old fashioned and my husband a chocolate glaze, we didn't go fancy on it just traditional. First bite the chocolate just tastes different but the breading is good! Maybe we are use to Yumyum donuts that this wasn't as tasteful to us. Now service was fantastic! Everyone very nice from ordering to just showing me where the bathroom was and making sure to tell us there is a DJ upstairs. I don't think we would be back but worth a try once especially if you want to try a fancy creative unique donut.

    This place has been on my list for quite some time and I'm happy that I finally got to try it! A 2 story building where the bottom is the order window and donut making. The top floor has seating for plenty of people with booths, tables, and glass walls/fencing for a view The donuts themselves are incredibly soft and have a great mouth-feel. The maple donut has the slightest hint of maple which is a stark, and welcome, contrast to what most shops do. Plain glaze is just perfect in texture and flavor. Strawberry lemonade was mostly citrus and the devil's chocolate left a lot to be desired in terms of chocolate flavor. Coffee is good and served hot! Definitely be careful Overall I had a pleasant time, the donuts are good and I would go back!

    Unfortunately these were some of the not so best donuts I've had. They were chewy as it felt like I was chewing on mochi. Not sure if I'm coming back for more but it was worth a try. It's a tiny spot in the outskirts of Little Italy. I only came here because of TooGoodToGo and paid $10 for 6 donuts (it said it was worth $30 so I'm assuming $5 a donut). Can't say they're good just based on first bite but I was hungry and ate the entire donut and gave the rest to my coworkers. I thought you really couldn't go wrong with donuts but I guess you can. Perhaps it wasn't a good batch, who knows.

    San Diego has no shortage of great donut spots. I have never been able to get my hands on Devil's Dozen Donuts because they usually sell out before I get to Little Italy. But lately, we've been frequenting the Little Italy Farmer's Market at opening, so it was finally time to give it a try. We arrived at 8:25am and there was a short line. It moved slowly, but gave some time to be able to check out the selection. They have a smattering of classics along with unique flavors including some filled ones. We were boring and went with an old fashion and a Devil's vanilla. Both donuts were good, but Little Italy is always a trek, so I don't think I'd go out of my way to get them. Service was very friendly though and I appreciated that they clearly knew their regulars.

    Small donut area. Service was quick. Not too busy with people. They have a variety of delicious donuts. Lemon Poppy was my favorite. Fresh coffee as well to go along with the donuts.

    Open at 7am

    Was in town for comic con and as a huge donut fan I was really excited to try this place as I passed it on the way back from the gym Thursday morning. So Friday I went right after class and got there at 6:58am right before they "open" at 7am per their sign. Emphasis on "open". Pros: Seems to be very popular, the line was 9 deep when I ordered. The donuts are aesthetically pleasing and good variety. The Homer donut was tasty and always fun as a Simpsons fan to see. Cons: Ok, here we go. As I said I got there 6:58am. 7am came and passed. I hear voices but the window shade is still down. At 7:05am I kinda just say politely through the shade "hello?" since I would like to order and get back to my hotel since I have things to do it being comic con. I got a terse "we're not open yet". So I stood there and people started showing up. 7:08am the shade goes up and I'm first in line and the employee says "It'll be another couple minutes guys". So I stood there just staring at the display of donuts to kill time as she repeatedly clicked on the screen. 7:10am I'm just kind of lost in my own thoughts as I'm waiting and I look and the employee is just staring at me. I asked "Can i order now?" and she gave me a sarcastic response of yes. She never indicated she was ready. She didn't give a polite "Thanks for the wait, I can take your order now". Nothing. She gave off the vibe that she was just annoyed at me now. I ordered my two donuts - vanilla bean and Homer. She packaged it and handed it to me. No last chance to comment on the wait. No shade of politeness. Nothing. I can understand not being ready at opening but when there are people waiting, you can't just ignore it and not acknowledge that people waited. That's poor customer service and that ruins everything. The donuts were fine - albeit expensive - but the experience is all I'm taking from this.

    Came in Saturday at about 11 so most of the inventory was sold out but we were able to snag a devils vanilla It was pretty good but nothing crazy, they have other flavors i would love to try and maybe even order ahead since the wait was pretty extensive

It was one of the best cinnamon rolls I have ever had. It was also cooked how I prefer my cinnamon rolls, which is with a very soft and chewy middle.

The strawberry buttermilk was the doughnut we were looking forward to the most and it also delivered. While still not as good as the cinnamon roll, it still really really good.

The fluffiness reminded me more of a beignet and brioche. Will be back to try more flavors! 5/13- We returned for more. These were made to order and topping to dough ratio was too much.
