Came here late in the night to get a dozen donuts as my dad was craving the sugar twist but unfortunately they ran out. We just got glazed sugar, chocolate dip, and the powdered sugar donuts. All were pretty good but some weren't as fresh as they could have been but I guess it's understandable since it was close to closing time. The staff was nice and gave me a free donut on the house for being a first time customer. I might come back probably earlier to avoid getting the not as fresh donuts. read more

I heard rumors about a certain blueberry doughnut being one of the best doughnuts in San Diego. Where is this magical blueberry doughnut found? Donut Stop. I read is somewhere, on multiple sites, but of course these days I'm googling it and it's like I imagined those articles. While I do have very vivid and realistic (ie AWESOME) dreams, I know those lists exist somewhere. Lists aside, I tried the magical blueberry doughnut. I'm here to confirm that it is indeed delicious. It's soft, cakey, has a bit of blueberry flavor, and has moved Donut Stop to the top of my best of San Diego doughnuts list. I've been to a few other shops and they were pure grease, flavorless, and dry. Donut Stop has great blueberry doughnuts, amazing blueberry fritters, and even a really delicious bacon topped maple bar. I'm not a total glutton, sometimes, so I paced myself. I'll definitely be back to grab my new favorites and try the other doughnuts too. read more

This is a secret gem...... I absolutely love this place. Every single time I go to this donut shop the donuts (and cream puffs!) are fresh. Definitely worth it every single time. They only accept cash... But the donuts are so affordable! They are also open late. Until 10pm! So a great place to stop by on the way home or go out late! we just went yesterday... Will probably go back again tonight :) read more

One of my favorite donut shops.. nothing fancy here.. just plain ol' regular well made donuts with an old school look and feel. Think back to how donut shops looked back in the 90's, maybe the ones you hit with your mom or grandparents... that's how this one feels. Don't get caught up in the new school hype when you can have an even better donut here.. read more

Blueberry doughnut the obvious winner at this cash only place. All doughnuts here are cheap and good. Just what you would expect. But keep in mind, it smells like cigarettes in here, because they sell that too, and if you don't like the smell, send someone else in for you. read more

My initial experience was amazing. Blueberry donuts that were soft on the inside a little crispy on the outside and sweet all around. But I came once again at night to pick up some donuts this time wanting to try something different. Unfortunately the donuts were stale and not all that great . The chocolate glazed custard donut in particular was really disappointing; the donut holes were good but still a bit stale I guess it really depends on when you go. You can end up getting a fresh batch and have a great experience or go towards the end of a batch and have stale donuts. I would still come back but it doesn't ring as a great donut shop in my books anymore. read more

Definitely a little mom and pop shop that not only provides some great donuts but the greatest blueberry donut around. Can't get over how crisp the exterior yet fluffy goodness is found inside. A customer at my work gave me one and even though I said no multiple times and assumed I wouldn't enjoy it, when I did try it, I died. Went to heaven and came back. Not the most appealing shop you would want to go to but if you're looking for quality donuts this is the "stop" you should make, the blueberry alone was just enough for me. Half a dozen for 3.25 gets a bang for your buck. Cash only!! read more

Gotta love donut shops. Some of them are nice and pretty like Donut Touch off of Flanders near the Shell gas station, and some of them are like a walk back into time, like you were in bizarro world or something. This one falls in the latter. Donut Stop sure is a nice step back in time, and I would say the prices for the donuts are too. I can't say much about the quality, however. The place is open pretty long, from 4am-10pm, so frequently the donuts won't have that freshness to it. But if you got a couple bucks and are in for a donut fix, this isn't a bad place to go to. Lots of old asian guys hang out here due to its adjacency to Lucky Seafood, but don't let that scare you. Of course there are better donut places out there, but valuewise Donut Touch ain't so bad. read more

This place is tucked away near Lucky Seafood...you know, near the Jack in the Box on Mira Mesa Blvd. They have SO many donuts to choose from. I was craving one glazed donut, but walked out with a variety of 6! It was so cheap, I couldn't help myself. When I got home to share the 6 donuts with my hubby, I found an added bonus in the form of a meringue-filled pastry in my box! If I could wake my ass up early enough, I would buy a dozen or two and bring them in to work...but I prefer hitting the snooze button a couple of times in the morning. Maybe tomorrow....the crumb donut is calling my name. read more

The best donut shop around! I grew up coming here with my dad and now bring my kids here. The donuts are always tasty and the owners are so genuinely kind. read more

Great takeout donut shop. Friendly people and quick service. Apple fritters are some of the best ones around

Love this place. Super friendly and nice guy. Donuts are fulfilling and yummy! Closes at 10pm too on a Sunday! Score.

The Honest Truth: 65 cents a donut, $3.25 for a half dozen. Donuts are fresh. Blueberry donuts! Cash only! Whats not to love? The Details: A nice family owned business. This is my go-to for donuts in scripps ranch/mira mesa. Donuts are cheap and fresh! They're decently sized as well. This is one of the few places with blueberry donuts which you should try, and I also really appreciate that the donuts are not too sweet (like krispy kreme donuts). There isn't much to it! They are a donut shop that sells good donuts. Give them a try! read more

Omg the maple buttermilk donut is amazing! I'm addicted! It was warm, crunchy on the outside, soft and buttery on the inside. I bought my friends one to share and they also agree it was bomb! I will come here every other day! Try it read more

AHHHH!! Words cannot describe how much I love this place, but if there were, it'd be CHEAP AND DELICIOUS! I've heard of M&M Donuts in LA and how they're known for their blueberry donuts, however, I've never had the chance to try them. I was looking for a dessert place in Mira Mesa and this place popped up and the comments seemed to be raving about their blueberry donuts so my boyfriend and I stopped by after having dinner at Boiling Crab nearby. Upon entrance, the store looks like a mom and pop store, small, and a bit run down. I noticed that the little sign said it was about 50 cents for a regular donut, and 75 cents for the jelly filled donuts. I got three blueberry donuts, which I should've gotten more of, and a couple of jelly filled ones for my boyfriend. The guy was supposed to charge us more since we got 3 jelly filled ones but instead, he charged us a straight 3.00 plus tax, how kind! We got inside the car and decided to try it right away and oh my freaking goodness it was sooooooo delicious! From the outside looking in, the donut looked dry but when I bit into it, it was a tad bit crunchy on the outside, which was perfect, and so moist and soft on the inside. Seriously, this was the best donut I've tasted in my life and surprisingly, it wasn't too sweet but just the right amount of sweetness for me to continue stuffing it in my mouth. It was a shame we pulled out of the parking lot already or else I would've walked back in and got a dozen more! Not only that, my boyfriend, who is obsessed with donuts, also said it was the best donut he's ever tasted which really says something! I definitely recommend this place!! I didn't bother trying the jelly filled ones because I'm not a fan of jelly but anyone who stops by here should try out their blueberry donuts. I honestly hope people discover this place and continue to buy their donuts because it would be such a shame if this place closed down. And oh, if you think Krispy Kreme's original glazed donuts when it comes right off the conveyor belt are delicious, then just wait til you try fresh,hot, piping blueberry donuts! YUMMMMMM! read more

Just stopped by here with my sister wanting a donut after we had pho next door at Pho Lucky. It was our first visit, so it took us a minute to decide on our orders. I order a blueberry donut and a crumb donut. Apparently I was muttering, "nnnn donut holes...." to myself while I was browsing, though, because when I looked in my bag, found out that the man working the counter sneaked me two free donut holes! :Q_____ (drool face) So freaking nice of him. My sister ordered a bit more (6 donuts in total) and he included two free cream puffs in her order. :') So, freaking, nice. As for the baked goods, I devoured the donut holes, which were light and sweet. The blueberry donut was a bit more dense, but not as dense as the other blueberry donuts I've had, and I liked that. Cream puff was all right. Duh yes I'm coming back here. read more

Came here looking for donuts for our wedding, specifically BLUEBERRY donuts and we SCORED! The donut was moist and perfectly glazed with a rich blueberry flavor. We also ordered the Apple donut, which was smooth, no lumps! It had a hint of cinnamon too. Almost like eating Apple Jacks in donut form. Again, super moist and so, so good! I deducted a star only because the donut holes were meh. Granted I came during the latter part of the day, around 6pm, but still. How can you ruin donut holes? They're usually on point. Anyway, I'll definitely be back! Glad we found this little hole in the wall. Can't wait to try the other flavors! Cheers! read more

Prices are really low here! And yes, open until 10pm. A large variety of donuts, twists, and fritters. They also have donut holes and cream puffs. We came here late at night, so the donuts weren't the freshest, but they still tasted good and we only spent $2 for a dozen donut holes, fruit filled donut, and a cream puff. I will be back when i have another donut craving! read more

Love this donut shop! Very clean! Very good service! Average prices! The best donuts around!

After having dinner at a neighboring place I decided to check out the donuts. It's really nice to find a donut place that's open later than usual; blueberry, apple and a twisted glaze. Strength - Open late and affordable donuts. Weakness - Donuts might not be the freshest later in the day. Opportunities - Donuts for dinner! Maybe a schedule of when they do batches. Threats - Stale donuts later in the day. SWOT'd read more

I had the maple bar, overall a very good doughnut. I'll be back to try the cinnamon roll, that looked delicious too.

We got four donuts, it was less than $1.50 Tasted fresh, tasted damned good, what more do you want from a donut shop? Coffee? This isn't Dunkin Donuts, go back to the east coast. read more

It's a Saturday morning and my weak spot - donuts!!! Not just any donuts! I've been here a few times when I'm in the area! The owner always greets everyone with a friendly smile and with her kind demeanor. The donuts are absolutely delectable with every bite!!! If you're in the area, must stop and check out this place! read more

oh donut stop, why must you tease a poor pregnant woman and always be out of your awesome apple fritters?? they are so freaking delicious and my poor husband always rolls his eyes when i say "donuts??" because it inevitably means a trip out to mira mesa late at night when more often than not they will say to us "sorry, no more apple fritters" and then i am sad. PROBABLY why i haven't gained 100000000lbs since becoming pregnant. so i guess that's a good thing?? but i will always be back. yum!! read more

Absolutely love this place! Family owned donut stop, the people are really awesome and they know me by name! I come here every two weeks just to get my donut fix and I'm never disappointed. Favorite picks are the blueberry and the cream puffs! read more

Donut Stop - Best donuts in Mira Mesa!! I come here every two weeks! - Donuts Near Me - San Diego, California

amazing blueberry donuts. best i've ever had! just makes sure you bring cash as it's cash only!

I like this place! Tried the blueberry, glazed, maple bar, and cream puffs. The nice lady even threw in a few doughnut holes! I really liked their blueberry doughnut! I like to heat mine up for 20 seconds first! A warm doughnut is a good doughnut. The glazed was delicious as well. I'm a huge maple doughnut fan. However, the maple bar was a bit too sweet for my liking. The cream puffs were delicious! Prices are good! Verdict: I would def come back for their blueberry doughnuts! (: read more

Alright. Heres the gist! Convenient location (for me at least, muahahaha) Great prices Large variety Awesome and friendly staff NOMS Do not stop. eating :) read more

i am very sad to update my 5 star review of donut stop :( they are still the best donuts in a 2 mile radius and so worth the extra distance. but i cannot go anymore because the owner dislikes me and treats me poorly. i tried to think of everything i could've done to annoy her and there's only been a few instances of miscommunication where it took me longer to understand her, but i would never intentionally give attitude. honestly i think she just hates my vibes, which is fine though not ideal, until the last time i went she shorted me one donut. it was definitely personal because i pointed at some blueberry donuts and she said they weren't blueberry donuts but to me and my roommate they were clearly blueberry because they had the purple undertones and they're our favorite flavor. but we didn't say anything and i asked for two chocolate donuts instead. we both saw her grab two donuts, but after i paid and opened the bag at home there was only one chocolate donut, so it's obvious she took it out at the end while i was getting ready to pay. it's so unprofessional to scam because of personal reasons, i have always been respectful and wanted to support her business. in summary, the donuts here are the best, but do be on your best behavior or you might be scammed. read more

All their donuts fresh in the morning are to die for. Especially my favorite cream cheese Danish. Too bad they don't make new batches of it once they're finished. So make sure you go before noon if you want those. The rest are decent. 4 starring for reduced freshness towards later in the day. Although can't imagine fresh donuts anywhere at 8pm (one of my visits) My husband loved the blueberry donut and the apple fritters. The cream puffs are also pretty delish no matter what time of the day. I love the fact that the cream's not too heavy or sweet. I could have half a dozen of those and not realize it. The prices are ridanculously cheap and the service from the little chinese lady is so sweet. She doesn't say much but always has a sweet smile and will sneak in a few freebie donut holes every now and then. I'm only visiting San Diego for a few days but I've been there every day since we discovered it. Quite the little gem out here in Mira Mesa. read more

I stopped by this donut shop on the way to work one morning to get some donuts for a coworkers birthday since it's on the way to work. I was very excited to see that they accept card payments as most donut shops are cash only. I walked in and saw an awesome assortment of donuts and more coming out fresh. I didn't have to wait too long to be served and when I got the donuts, I was pleasantly surprised to feel that they were still warm!! My team loved them and I will definitely be back!! read more

This place serves delicious donuts! My favorite, & many of the customers' favorite, is the Blueberry Donut. The dough is moist & is filled with an abundant amount of blueberries. In addition, it is coated with a sweet glaze. I also enjoy their Crumb Donut. What is great is that when you are craving donuts at night (& all the donuts places are closed), they will usually have fresh Blueberry Donuts! Great customer service. Cash only! read more

Very cheap and delicious donuts! I come in often for their blueberry donuts since they only last a night or two in my house. Only complaint would be that depending on whose working, there may not be a variety of donuts around 6/7pm before closing at 10. They also do not tell you that certain donuts will cost you a few dollars more until you pay. Otherwise, their donuts are delicious! read more

I really like the donuts and the creamy puffs, I don't like the service, we went there for the goods reviews, the girl who was in charge was rude with my girls, answering the questions very rude and rolling eyes , was our first time there and we wanna know a little bit more, I'm glad that I tried it, we will never come back. read more

Family owned, the nicest people ever! Conveniently located next to the super market, so it is always nice to come to Donut Stop for some dessert. My favorite - cream puffs!!! Mmm... with some nice hot, black coffee. read more

I like that they have the blueberry donuts. its a little too cakey compared to M&Ms but i think its still one of their best here. I basically come here for that and their creme puffs! these things are amazing! they staff soft and delicious throughout the day.

Donut Stop - 3 dozen cream puffs for $7.50 - Donuts Near Me - San Diego, California

Dollar for dollar the best donut store I've been to. $7.25 for a mixed dozen (they actually gave me a baker's dozen). That'll barely get you two donuts and these new generation artisan donut shops that are all the rage. I of course tried the legendary blueberry donut, which was great, along with an apple fritter and a chocolate buttermilk something er other (texture of an old fashioned but in more of a ball than a ring). I enjoyed everything even though I'm not a huge blueberry guy. If you're into the classic donuts you should definitely give Donut Stop a look. read more

Craving a good donut at 3 in the afternoon. After googling and yelping the closest place with the best reviews, I ended up going to Donut Stop. I walked in and was surprised they still had a decent selection available, pick out my selection and headed back to my office. Upon arriving back to work I bit into the first donut, correction, attempted to bite into the donut. The donut was so hard I could have used it to break a window, so I tried the second one. Same issue different donut and flavor, after this happened on the third one, I gave up and threw them in the trash. Incredibly disappointing! read more

I come here everytime I head down to SD. I love their glaze and twistys but their croissants are the BEST. Can't beat their prices. I spend less than 3 bucks for 3 donuts and a drink. read more
