The traditional sprinkled yeast-raised donut was also super good. At around $5 each and ~400 calories, they're definitely not cheap or light, but I think they're worth it for an occasional treat. Not an everyday donut situation--but when you want to treat yourself to a really good donut, this hits the spot.

I've been waiting to try this place for soooooo long! I'm so glad I get to finally try their…read moredonuts! Ambiance was top-notch--the smell of donuts will hit you the moment you pull their door open. It was bright and inviting inside. Their aesthetic was a blend of modern minimalist, and I loved it. Service was quick and staff was very friendly. She was patient and cheerfully offered recommendations, which we beyond appreciated. She also offered some samples of some of their donuts and they were pretty much fresh off the oven. And speaking of donuts... oh, the donuts were HEAVENLY. They were all still warm when we got them in our box. Every single one we got was soft, pillowy and decadent with just the right amount of sweetness. Some of them were so unique that I never thought it'd work well being a donut, but it did! Flavors we tried: Passionfruit Pavlova Mango Sticky Rice Choc-a-lot Maple Bacon Butter & Salt Old Fashion Saigon Cinnamon Crumb The biggest surprise was the Mango Sticky Rice--very unique and tasty at the same time. It was a donut and a dessert in one. My favorite was the Maple Bacon--sweet & salty is always a winner for me, but it was the bacon that was crunchy and NOT old & chewy that really brought this one home for me. I already see us coming back here soon. Next time though, I'd love to try one of their coffee drinks too!

We absolutely love this place!…read more This was our first time visiting their new location, the cashier said it has a larger kitchen. I'm so happy for them! The decor is so cute like stepping into a cartoon and the donuts are the main attraction. The chocolate bar came in around $2 and the other donuts we bought were up to $6. I was happy to see they still have the Homer, which is one of my favorites and the Vanilla Bean. Looks like they've added some new additions, namely cinnamon rolls. My daughter's favorite thing when she was younger was the strawberry milk on tap. I think it was the novelty of milk being on tap. It felt special for her as a kid. Now it looks like they've bottled it and put it in the refrigerated section near check out, for a quick and convenient beverage to go. There's a small section for Donut Bar merch with all sorts of things to choose from and some outdoor seating for enjoying your sweet treats on a glorious San Diego day. The donuts came in a simple white box with a black and white sticker. There's a surprise within that sticker! The sticker says to scan the QR code to bring the image to life...so we did! It's a super cute warm welcome from Chef Santiago! It looks like they've went towards an Augmented Reality theme. I didn't notice an upstairs at this location and the cashier said they no longer have the encore, which is something I used to love. It was when the Donut Bar reopened around 5pm at night on weekends, if I remember correctly. It was a blast. Overall, it's still our go to donut place when visiting San Diego. The employees are friendly and welcoming, and the donuts are sweet and yeasty. We love it!

I've had their donuts a few times now and they're just soo sweet! Even their blueberry ones that they are apparently famous for (even without the blueberry frosting that they add). Their maple donut is sweet but also doesn't taste anything like maple. I did like their blueberry donut though. It had a lot of blueberries in it, which made me happy. I love supporting a family business and think I got their donuts on an off day because there was a huge line out the door here. I would be willing to come back and give them and their donuts another shot. 3.5 rounding to 4.

Another big plus is there's a lot of parking, so it's super easy to stop by. They also open early, which is perfect if you're trying to grab coffee before work.

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. Over all we're gonna buy again on Mother's Day morning!

It was so hard to decide so I grabbed a few to share: Maple Bacon, Coconut Cream, Lemon and Horchata. I thoroughly enjoyed all of them and appreciated that they were not overly nor greasy. 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. All great flavors, just too much of it.

They have vegan donut options and were just as good and the regular donuts. We got the chocolate donut and the strawberry sprinkle vegan donuts and they were very soft and yummy. We saw on a paper that they were awarded the best horchata so I had the Matchata (matcha+horchata) and my wife got the regular horchata and man it was probably the best we had. I personally hesitate to get horchata at places due to the over sweetness they are but their horchata has a perfect balance of sweetness and rice flavor. We will definitely be coming back every time we come to get our car washed and staff is very kind! :)
