    My friends and I used to come here a lot. This place was down the street from our work so every time we want donuts, we would come here. As always the donuts is fresh and delicious just like I remember it. The service is also excellent! They have the friendliest people working here. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place is pretty chill.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They have a space to order the donuts and sandwiches. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place is clean and the donut is fresh.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Also, the best and freshest crueller!! Soooo good!!

    Date of Visit: 4.12.2025 Cuisine Type: Donut/Sandwich/Bagel Shop Vibe: Family-owned, mini-chain, local plaza, casual Cost: ~$5-$30 depending on what you order What I Ordered & How It Was: Dozen donuts: (Everything is as expected, its not new, its just classics) -Old fashioned chocolate/maple (crispy outside and soft denser inside)...I am biased. I love chocolate donuts and the texture contrasts -Boston Creme...standard -Apple Fritter...I don't really taste much apple -Blueberry Cake...standard with noticeable blueberry tidbits -Strawberry Cake...tart berry icing no actual strawberries -Chocolate Twist and circle...airier dough...something you can squeeze and it'll deflate into nothing -Eclair like chocolate...basically the old-fashioned but long so only one side has icing...it is more doughy than the old-fashioned Service & Atmosphere: Service: Friendly, Ordered at the counter they have a display for the donuts and other baked goods. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance: The space is located at the end of a row of shops, next to Nanay's, a SDCCU bank, and just road. Nearby parking is minimal but there is a nearby parking lot within 4 minutes walking distance. The shop got this older like 90s decor and vibe. Goes to show reliability and consistency over time.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Overall Thoughts: Best thing I ate: Old fashioned chocolate donuts Something to improve: Maybe more unique flavors? or even lean into the old fashioned texture into other flavors Would I come back? I don't normally come here for myself, but it is a solid choice for standard expected quality donuts that are sure to please any crowd!

    Can't help myself... if there's a good donut to be had, I have to try out for myself! Completely out of the way, I've been wanting to give Donut Touch a try! This donut shop is deep in the heart of Mira Mesa, at the edge of the strip mall where Aldi is, but it's worth the trip! I would recommend getting there early, when I say early, try like before 10 am! I have yet to actually do that since I was able to only make it here cause I was already in the area. Each time it was slightly after 10 am, but before noon. The second time I visited, they ran out of the two things I had wanted to get... a chocolate old fashioned and a filled donut. On my last visit my hubs came with me we were able to get everything we wanted! A chocolate bar, chocolate old fashioned, half a dozen chocolate donut holes, blueberry filled powdered and a sugar donut. The chocolate ones of course are my picks and my all time favs! If this was in my neighborhood, I'd only pick up a couple of donuts for the hubs and I for the day. But since it's not, I have to grab a few extras! The hubs favs are usually coated in some sort of sugar... powdered, classic sugar or glazed, which don't last beyond a day and best eaten right away. Luckily for me, my favs still taste good, a day or two later! I always eat my chocolate bar right away. The bar is best eaten the day of. The chocolate old fashioned, is still delish the next day, and the chocolate donut holes, still yummy after a couple of days! But that's just me. I have donuts for days! :) It is a bit expensive at over $2 each donut and you have to be early to have your pick from a full selection of donuts, (the old fashioned may be sold out after 10am!) but if I'm close by, I'll make a stop here. Parking is right outside and I haven't had any issues with finding a spot right away. Staff is quick and friendly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The shop is simple, clean, well organized, everything you'd expect to pick up coffee, or breakfast and of course, donuts![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 2024: 43

    Chocolate sprinkle donut
    Fred S.

    The donuts here are pretty tasty. If you don't come in first thing in the morning, you may not get the freshest or warmest donuts or pastries.. but they heat up well and are plenty delicious either way. The service here is pretty good, sometimes it's a bit awkward or off depending on how busy and who is helping at the register. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a mom and pop type experience, in other words you go here for the desserts and food, not the experience.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]A few tables and smallish space for people to sit. Not the most comfortable if the line is long and people are stacked up against the seating area.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Donuts are good 4.5/5 Krispy Kreme level good when fresh Bagels (according to wife) 5/5 she likes the onion bagel and everything bagel Value 3/5 they try to charge Krispy Kreme level prices, which discourages people like me from ordering more than a handful on each visit. It also discourages frequency of visits we are comfortable with. Yes, the sandwiches do use higher end meat (boars head) and the donuts are delicious, but you're in Mira Mesa... not Del Mar or La Jolla. Should price accordingly. Overall 4/5 this would be a 5 star donut shop if they didn't price out a big part of the community they serve. Sure, I'll splurge here on occasion, but I'd never come here daily or weekly because $$ money is tight everywhere and donuts tend to fall lower on the priority list.

    I was actually pretty surprised with how much I liked my bagel sammich from here. They didn't have many options left since I came about an hour before closing time, but I still managed to order what I wanted. The sammich did get a bit expensive in my opinion, but they really stuff it so I was okay with it. All the ingredients were fresh and placed nicely around. I ended up trying one of their donuts as well and they were okay. Nothing special, but wouldn't be opposed to getting it again. I'm more likely to come for the bagel sammich again, but I wouldn't go out of my way to do so.

    California dreamin- break your teeth on this bread
    Sarah L.

    This review is for their deli sandwich. I ordered a California Dreamin sandwich. The bread was so hard and tough to bite, it was also so thick. On top of that, they barely give you any meat, just one thin layer of deli meat. The service was also strange, the lady walked away in the middle of my payment and she didn't even have another task to do. I'll probably never order a sandwich again. Their donuts are decent, nothing special.

    Boston cream and apple fritter
    Brian D.

    A small shop serving donuts and bagels at a very good price. The apple fritter and Boston cream were both very good. My favorite was the old fashioned, it was super light.

    Great service by Aadan!…read more Came with a small kid who he offered some Sidecar stickers to. I know that's not a thing to hand these labels out but every kid loves stickers! I was also debating the size of chocolate milk for my kid and ordered small and got confirmation from Aadan that small would be the ideal choice for kids. Excellent iced Banana Bread Latte. Couldn't detect any banana bread flavor to it but as someone who does not like standard "plain" lattes, it was good coffee! Kid inhaled a Vanilla Bean Glazed and I had the Blueberry Cheesecake doughnut (both yeast doughnuts) for lunch (yes for lunch!) and I usually do not like eating more than a quarter of a doughnut even as dessert. I was hesitant to get the Blueberry Cheesecake because I saw the giant blob of cream on top but it was more like whip cream than actual cheesecake and sweet enough to compliment a doughnut without being heavy and overly sweet like actual cheesecake. I also like the dollop of blueberry preserves on top. The yeast doughnut was plump airy goodness. We didn't need it, but I appreciate that this shop always has free cold water available for guests. This is one of my few Treat Yourself places.

    These Sidecar donuts for me, are the definition of "not worth it calories." If they are in front…read moreof me, I will probably eat them, but I won't return because quite simply, the donuts are not good, and I got a 6 pack and have been there twice. For me, it's a combo of the texture and just the taste. Plus, the price is outrageous (over $4.00 per donut). I also got an almondmilk matcha and also did not like it. Overall, I hate to say it, but given the price, wait, and quality of the donuts, I would NOT recommend this place.

    What a cute boba spot. So happy they finally have one in San Diego and so close to my house…read more I love the ambiance of the place. It's super cute, pink and clean. There is no customer service as everything you order is through the kiosk, which is fine. The drinks come out quick which is a plus. I did pay extra for the cute surprise toy. I can't wait to come back and try other drinks and their mochi dough. Thanks Mochi Dough for a fun first time.

    FOR THE WIN!!! (4.75 stars)…read more I love donuts. And I tend to stick to basic classical donuts. And therefore I am late to the trend with the mochi donuts! This location is inside Bober Tea and Coffee. There is a glass casing with several flavors to choose from and they sell at $3 a piece. The one that stood out to me was the chocolate with sprinkles. Upon receiving it in a paper pocket bag, the icing was rubbing off on the bag. That immediately told me this is super fresh! I could already feel the softness of the donut. The little sectioned off ball looking segments of the donut are also a game changer when it comes to eating - easier to eat without making a mess! The texture was bouncy, soft, lightly chewy and a little stretchy... the texture was fun and I found myself wanting another afterwards. I do wish they had offer other flavors that don't sounds too sweet because the other flavors didn't really catch me. Until the next review...

The bacon maple still had an amazing texture and we loved how fluffy and satisfying the dough is made but I wasn't a fan of the bacon fat taste with the maple even though I usually like a sweet+savory combo.

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. Maybe they were being generous, but they were overly sweet today. Bourbon Caramel, Strawberry Shortcake, Lemon, Blueberry Hill, Mango Margarita and Turtle Cheesecake.
