    Donut Touch was right on my way to office this morning. I picked up donuts for my coworkers, and everyone loved it! The donuts were fresh. We got the glazed and chocolate and both didn't disappoint! They also sell bagels and drinks here, and some other pastries in addition. Service was good, they even offered to individually pack my donuts!

    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. The place is pretty chill. They have a space to order the donuts and sandwiches. The place is clean and the donut is fresh. 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. 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. 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. The shop is simple, clean, well organized, everything you'd expect to pick up coffee, or breakfast and of course, donuts! 2024: 43

    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. It's a mom and pop type experience, in other words you go here for the desserts and food, not the experience. 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. 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

    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.

When I arrived, there was a very long line, but because my order had already been placed, I went to the designated pickup area. While waiting, I watched the employee behind the counter speak politely and normally to other customers. When it was my turn, I turned my phone around and politely said, "Hi, I'm here to pick up for" Before I could even finish my sentence, the employee looked at my phone, rolled his eyes, turned away from me, and went to retrieve the order. There was no greeting, no acknowledgment, and no basic courtesy. He handed me the order while staring at me, rolled his eyes again, and immediately returned to the register. The interaction was so noticeably hostile that I looked back at him and asked, "What's your problem?" He immediately turned away and began helping someone else. I then asked another employee whether there was a manager available and explained what had just happened. Her response was essentially that there was "a lot going on" and that they were busy. Being busy does not excuse treating a customer disrespectfully especially when I had just watched other customers receive normal, courteous service. What made this experience particularly concerning was what happened next. While I was still making sure my large order was complete, another customer approached the pickup area. The same employee who would not even allow me to finish my sentence immediately greeted this man with, "Hello, how can I help you?" and proceeded to speak to him politely and professionally. That was the exact basic courtesy I had been denied only moments earlier. As a Black woman, I cannot ignore that difference in treatment. I watched this employee demonstrate that he was perfectly capable of greeting customers, communicating professionally, and being courteous. He simply chose not to extend that same treatment to me. Based on what I personally witnessed, the disparity felt prejudicial and discriminatory. I then walked to the neighboring sister establishment to ask how I could contact management because I had not been provided helpful management information inside the coffee shop. Ironically, the employee I spoke with there was also Latino, and he treated me with complete respect. He listened, offered to get a manager, asked whether I was okay, and apologized that I had experienced something uncomfortable. That interaction is important because my complaint is not about anyone's ethnicity it is about the specific behavior of the employees who dealt with me at the coffee shop. What was also strange was that the coffee shop employees who had just explained that everything was so hectic suddenly had plenty of time to stand at the counter and watch me while I spoke with the neighboring business. They continued watching me until I got into my car. There had been an enormous line of customers, yet somehow the "too busy" explanation disappeared when it came time to watch what I was doing after I asked about management. That made an already uncomfortable situation feel even more hostile. The Smoking Gun needs to seriously evaluate who it places in customer-facing positions. Customers should not have to wonder whether their race affected the basic level of dignity and courtesy they received. If an employee is overwhelmed or having a bad day, take a break, ask for help, or work away from the front counter. What you do not do is selectively discard basic manners with one customer and then immediately demonstrate those same manners to the next. I came in to pick up coffee for a wedding. I was polite. I was there to collect an order and leave. There was absolutely no reason for me to be treated with hostility. I will be filing a formal complaint with management regarding this incident. I hope management takes it seriously, reviews what occurred, and provides its staff with appropriate customer-service and anti-discrimination training. No paying customer should be treated as though basic respect is optional. And yes, they can run the cameras back it'll be in there ! Then to ice the cake, they literally got the order wrong and didn't give me all the items for the party that I was taking it to! Could look me up and down but not look the orders up and down !

Let me start with that I've been a big supporter of Nomad Donuts since the fruition back on 30th street. I used to work with the owner Matt over a decade ago at The Active Network. I also know mistakes can happen and can easily roll with it. That is what makes today's situation extremely bizarre. I ordered a Black 'n Blue sandwich without onion rings, on a toasted rosemary bagel with a small black coffee. My coffee came out first with the wonderful employee with dark curly hair worn in two buns. She called out "Anda", (my name); and handed me my coffee. About 7 minutes later she walked up to me with my sandwich and handed me my sandwich and said, "Here you go, Anda." I said, "Thank you! Have a good day!" and left. I drove home, opened the box and realized it was not at all the sandwich I ordered. Disappointing but things happen. Since I found out with a previous order months ago I'm allergic to an ingredient in one of their sauces, I couldn't risk it. I called Nomad Donuts and spoke with a kind employee who told me my sandwich was waiting there and they accidentally gave me "Anna's" order. I told her I couldn't make it back there and requested a refund. She said no problem and I would receive the refund in a week and apologized again. I said, "No problem, I know mistakes happen and told her to have a good day." Less than three minutes later the supervisor called me back. I missed the call and returned her call immediately. This is where things got strange. She told me the previous employee I spoke with got things mixed up. She told me I TOOK the wrong sandwich. I corrected her and said, "I didn't take anything. I was handed my sandwich." She asked if it was the person that took my order. I said, "No. It was the lovely woman with the dark, curly hair in two buns." The supervisor said, "You're going to get your refund but know we have name mix-ups all of the time so you know for the future. I'm going to talk to all of the staff." I told her, "I told the last employee I understood mistakes happen and I wasn't upset just asking for the refund." The supervisor then said, "You must have misheard your name." I said, "I didn't mishear anything. She walked up to me, handed me my sandwich and said, 'Here you go, Anda.' I thanked her and told her to have a good day." I then explained to the supervisor that it's really strange she was calling me to blame me for their mistake. She said, "I'm not blaming you." I said, "You are. I didn't take anything and didn't mishear anything." She said, "I'm just letting you know for the future." This whole interaction was so bizarre. The supervisor took the time to call me back after I originally called to request a refund politely and kindly and understood mistakes happen. In the process she blamed me for the store's mistake. My questions are: Why did this supervisor even call me in the first place? To blame me for their mistake? To warn me this happens all the time with them to know for the future. An easy fix would be confirming the order with the name. Or was it to try and avoid giving me a refund when they were the ones that made the mistake? I wish I told the supervisor to watch their security footage as that would be proof the employee came up to me. Seems silly over a sandwich but the supervisor is the one who mishandled things. It's a bummer and shocking this is how things were handled. It is especially disappointing as I have been a customer since Day 1 and always knew of Matt to be really kind and hire top notch employees. am only writing this review as the situation has been bothering me since the call two hours ago and thought Matt should know. Unfortunately I will have to think twice about returning moving forward as this was extremely bizarre to me. Hopefully this supervisor was just having an off-day and it's not the norm.
