Stopped by to get a donut and was hoping for one I got from the downtown location. Unfortunately they don't have the same things. I was disappointed but did get a maple bar that was good. There wasn't anyone in the store and the cashier was busy working. He was pleasant but didn't pay much attention. The shopping center has lots of options so it's in a great location. read more

This is a great place to come for specialty donuts. I don't come here for so much for taste or consistency but for a spin on different variations of desserts on a donut. For example, the unicorn donut is cute and sugary. There is a red velvet donut that is pretty cool and provides a twist on flavors. The lemon donut is like a mini lemon cake, and yummy. The Churro donut is special. There is a Nothing Bundt Cakes that is a couple of doors down. This Donut Bar offers coffee and beverages with your dessert. It is always clean. It's a bit tight on space when coming in to order and pay. I like the downtown location as they are much more better at customer service. This location always seems to be empty at first, then someone will come from the cooking area to take your order, not greet you. There is a different (not-so-great at customer service) vibe at this location. read more

My mom picked up donuts from the Donut Bar in Eastlake. She was able to get in and out of the store pretty quickly, so it was nice and convenient. There's lot of other stores in this plaza and seating outside. She got an assortment of donuts and all were really tasty! read more

I do love this place , maybe the downtown location better , idk . I called ahead of time to make sure they had the donut I wanted , I didn't want to drive up there and not have what I was craving . I called and the gentleman was polite and nice , said he'd hold a Strawberry split donut. I showed up 30 minutes later and they still had some but boy it looked nothing like I remember. Where is the whipped cream ???? I hear you "inflation" but don't charge me more and give Me less . Idk if I want to get donuts here anymore ! The more I look at the picture the more I get disappointed. The whip used to cover most of the bottom Donut . read more

First time ever trying Donut Bar & they did not disappoint. They have fun decorated donuts. I'm pretty sure there's a flavored donut for everyone's taste buds. They even have big donuts that are definitely shareable! I wish they had small options as well such as donut holes, but it's ok! Their large selection makes up for it. The coffee is really good too. Pro tip; kids get a free donut on Mondays and Tuesdays. But they choose the donut for them. I wish I knew this today (Tuesday). I ended up paying $4 for a donut for my toddler. A nice mom told me about this deal after we paid. read more

07/12/25 - We came here today to participate in the #toogoodtogo program. (Highly recommend you check it out!) We were greeted by Luis and he was so nice and had a big smile on his face the whole time. Me and my friend were being silly but he matched our vibes. We also ended up getting the iced mexican mocha and it was soooo good! Definitely would get that again. Come by and visit my friend Luis and he will take care of you. Also, the donuts here are 10/10 but my favorite is the Nutella Overload and the creme brûlée donut. Sooooooooo good!! read more

This cute donut shot is located in a real busy shopping center which means, first thing off the bat, parking can be tricky. The establishment is real small and has a decent amount of donuts to choose from... Donuts...I was naughty and ate both my donuts in a day and I cab tell you they were tasty. Price...a bit pricey for donuts but nowadays what isn't. Service was quick... the girl behind the counter was nice- no complaints. Good spot to stop by and enjoy a great as the outside has a REAL CUTE pond with turtles and fish. I'd so by again if I'm ever in the area Service read more

It's been a while since I last visited the Donut Bar. I ordered one of my favorites #BigPoppaTart and my friends ordered the #BostonCreamPieBat. We loved the doughnuts I also ordered an #IcedCoffee with vanilla which was recommended by the server. It was delicious. I do wish that they had utensils so we could share and taste each other's doughnuts, but since they didn't more for me. Our server had patience and was pleasant as we made our decision. read more

I appreciated the creativity and big size of the donuts but the actual donut itself was just ok. We got one cinnamon sugar and one Homer for the kids. I tried to convince them to try a unique one like butter beer but oh well! I had hoped it would be light and fluffy but the outside was not as soft as I expected. I'm not sure how often they bake throughout the day so maybe it had been out a while? Overall it was pricy for what we got in my opinion sadly. It's part of our quest to find the best donuts in San Diego for my kid's birthday! read more

Stopped by here to grab a special donut for a 5 year old birthday girl! Of course she wanted their famous Unicorn donut. The shop itself is located with a bunch of trendy type shops. But the layout of the shops were cute, reminded me of walking through Disneyland shops. First impression upon walking in was that their donuts were on the bigger side. Even their donut holes was the size of golf balls. I'll be honest, I only had their donut holes and it was pretty good. I tried the two versions that were there at the time: sugar glazed and sugar donuts. Both were good. The shop itself was small, but we went early on a weekday morning so it wasn't that busy at all. The service was great. read more

Big donuts that are honestly a 3-4 person serving, nice price. Quality flavor, friendly staff, but this was an odd company. They don't have any cutlery and cannot cut the donuts for you. They don't have any plates either, or napkins. We ordered a box of donuts and 2 lattes, so I'm not sure what happened but it was a weird experience. If this is an environmental thing than I can appreciate and understand that, but it would make sense if there were signs supporting that because it seemed really awkward and hard to eat the food that we intended to eat and bought. read more

I'm surprised that Donut Bar can stil keep their prices fairly priced especially for their extra large donuts! Some of them are larger than my head and they are still selling them for less than $5 a pop. respect! I tried their caramel latte donut and chocolate old fashion recently and was pleased with how good these donuts still are. Just a tad dry on the old fashion, but overall, still pretty good! read more

The ambiance is clean .contains a vibe of eagerness . They have their donuts on the front shelf . Ready to be viewed . They have a variety of options from apple fritters to cinnamon to a homer sprinkle donut to glaze and Boston creme pie donut. I tried their chocolate bar . My first few bites I couldn't enjoy a chocolate donut The chocolate had a certain flavor it wasn't enjoyable . It was more bread than a balance . It wasn't as sugary,the glaze but the bread dough was . It was a okay experience but you won't see me there again . read more

I was pleasantly surprised of the variety of vegan donuts; I got 3 of the 6 available. Service was prompt despite the line and only one person working. I would not get a latte there again.

Definitely recommend this place to satisfy your sweet tooth craving! read more

The bar with a one man show! Let me start by saying that this guy working here is a SUPERSTAR! He deserves a raise! Super friendly, he knew everything about each donut, worked efficiently and in a decent amount of time all on his own and a great attitude! I went on a Sunday, later in the day and wasn't expecting much. But he delivered and sent us 2 happy customers out the door with 3 boxes and 2 coffees in a very short amount of time! So what are we here for? Right, the donuts. I wish I could say I recommend ABC. But we walked out with over 2 dozen each donut was different. Excerpt for the maple bacon and one other one I forgot the name. Give me an F for this description, but I'll tell you what... all the donuts... amazing! The flavors... amazing! My belly... gigantic! Pretty happy we came here for our Sunday sweet cravings. It's already Wednesday and all what's left still from all the donuts still has the great freshness from day 1, so that right there... is amazing! read more

Glad they opened up a Donut Bar here in Eastlake so I don't have to drive all the way to downtown and struggle to find parking to get my fix! The store is located in a large shopping plaza with plenty of parking spots. Majority of the donuts here are larger than traditional donuts, but that's part of the appeal. Some flavors in my opinion are overly sweet and some are just right, it all depends on your sweet tooth. They have a donut called the Big Poppa that has an entire pop tart in the center of the donut. I prefer the yeast donuts over the cake ones and my go to flavor is the lemon pistachio, which they don't have all the time. Another really popular one that isn't advertised too much is their French toast donut, which is prepared on the griddle and served with syrup, eaten with a knife and fork. Never had any complaints with service, the Eastlake location only has seats outdoor and none inside. read more

I've visited this donut shop twice now, and while there's a lot to love visually, I've noticed the same issue both times. The donuts are absolutely beautiful--super Instagram-worthy with creative designs and generous portions. You can tell a lot of effort goes into the presentation. That said, the flavor has been a bit underwhelming, and the texture leans on the stale side. For the price, I was hoping for something that tasted as good as it looked. I'm not sure if it's just this location or part of the brand's style, but I do hope it's something they can improve on, because the concept really has potential. read more

cool, basic ambiance, nothing fancy. Service? Friendly and great. The donut? Good. But let's be real--have you ever had a bad donut? Sugar is terrible for you, but it sure knows how to boost morale. Came here with my son for a father-son date, grabbed our donuts, ate outside, let the sugar do its thing, then hit the playground. Mission accomplished. read more

I actually like this place and come here whenever I can to splurge. That being said I come here for only donuts and not to hear about how the employee there hates how "transgender and rainbow flags are being pushed at her school". Granted a client brought it up but the employee continued the convo. Now whether thats your belief or not, it's uncomfortable to hear that when I'm just there to treat my son to a Donut. read more

When I walked in, there was no greeting or acknowledgment from the staff. I understand that the employee was preparing coffee, but I waited more than five minutes without so much as a simple "I'll be right with you." It left me feeling overlooked as a customer. After waiting with no recognition, I decided to leave. read more

Parking: Plenty available as it's located in a plaza with lots of other shops / restaurants. Ambience: It has plenty of fun and creative donut-themed decorations. They even matched the colors of the Christmas tree ornaments to the white and pink theme of the shop. There's a good amount of outdoor seating with a nearby fountain, so it's a nice place to enjoy your dessert :) There are a good amount of options available; there's even a unicorn-themed one! How cute! Service: Relatively quick and great! Taste: I got the Chocolate Twix donut, which didn't taste like Twix ahaha but it was still decently good. Would come back again to try the other flavors! read more

Donuts are good. Plenty of parking. Nice ambiance outside, it's in a shopping center but, there is a nice fountain by the seating out there and it beats going to the busy downtown location. Donuts are so extra but, it's great! They're also huge and shareable. Some of the donuts even have an entire pop tart in them. We went during comic con week and they had character donuts which were pretty cool. A great place to take kids or family when they're in town. read more

We love visiting Donut Bar--it's a fun spot, and my kids enjoy it every time. The donuts are colorful, beautifully presented, and creative. While they can be a hit or miss depending on the time of day (sometimes a bit dry), overall we really enjoy them and keep coming back. The crème brûlée and red velvet are two of my favorites, and we always look forward to seeing what's new on the menu. The service is consistently friendly, which makes the experience even better. Support your local donut shops--Donut Bar is a great one to enjoy. read more

Haven't been in years but was looking for something to compare with another donut. I got the caramel latte I think. Looks nice but when I picked it up I knew there was something very wrong. It is not filled but was the heaviest donut I have ever picked up. Yes, it is large but it is heavy due to being more the consistency of a dense bread rather than a donut. I took a bite and it was not only dense but overly sweet. I was told the drizzle on top was espresso. Zero coffee could only taste sweet. Sadly, I threw the rest away. read more

Food: I got the maple bacon and the red velvet doughnuts. The maple bacon was a little too sweet, but the red velvet was the right level for my tastes. Along with the doughnuts, I got iced coffee. Great coffee! Service: The young lady behind the corner was very helpful, and she answered my question regarding if one of the doughnuts was filled or not. I will definitely be visiting again to try out more of the cake doughnuts and get more ice coffee. read more

Awesome donuts, love the theme and the different flavors. I got the red velvet, pistachio lemon, strawberry cheesecake and they were all delicious.

There is no seating inside but plenty of tables outside to get some sun and enjoy your donut. read more

This location of Donut Bar is the only one I have been to, so I have never experienced crazy lines, completely sold out donuts before noon, or alcohol with my treats such as the downtown location. I would rather avoid all of that, which is why the Eastlake location is perfect. Don't get me wrong-- there are definitely moments where the line is long, but the most I have personally waited was around 10-15 minutes, which is not unreasonable. I remember prior to the pandemic, this location was closing down. I was so sad because I had never tried it! Then, they re-opened during the pandemic, and just decided to stay for business. I believe they got new management too, but not too sure how recent that change was. Donut Bar has speciality donuts, so you will find anything from girl-scout cookie inspired samoa donuts and maple bacon bars, to creme brûlée donuts and Nutella-filled carbs. For this reason, their donuts can cost $3+, with the best expensive (that I have gotten) being $6. I've had my share of just "okay" donuts because they were flavors I was unsure if I'd like but wanted to try, but for the most part, the usuals I get do not disappoint. Their donuts are fluffy and flavorful. Also, they have extended hours on the weekends, so if you miss your opportunity for morning donuts, they will most likely have fresh batches after 5pm. read more

Decent but small spot for donuts. It was okay nothing to write home about. I don't think they had a lot of desirable options. They have too many oversized dry donuts in comparison to regular sized donuts. I'd rather go for smaller options even with only a few flavor choices. Customer service could've been more attentive. I favor the downtown location better for their customer service, better options, minus the parking, and really small table to eat inside but that's downtown. read more

I live in Ramona and went to visit my family in Eastlake. Decided to finally stop by Monday-midday. As I entered, 2 male workers were there. I lookes around and there was no acknowledgment or any greetings. I picked 5 doughnuts and the entire time I didn't hear a single word from the worker. The young man seemed very unhappy. Very disappointing that I was the one who came in and greeted him and he just looked at me. Dougnuts were okay, very well-displayed. Not going back again. read more

It was around 6PM and we were doing some shopping in the strip mall and we're surprised to see Donut Bar was still open so we decided to pop in to take a few donuts home...there was only 1 employee on site and there were 2 customers ahead of us...I felt bad for the girl behind the counter because not only was she packing donut orders but she also has to make coffee orders and run the register. By the time we were able to order our donuts we had already been standing around for 15 minutes....took home the creme brûlée, mud pie and 2 reindeer donuts...good per usual. read more
