Open 24hrs. Friendly service. Don't expect weird "gourmet" flavors at $3-$4 a pop. These are traditional flavors at about $1-$2. $13 for a dozen. These hit the spot and didn't break the bank. Would definitely recommend and will be back! read more

I picked up some Old Fashion Donuts from this donut shop. I went for the covered with a maple frosting. The old fashion donut had that good fry which gave it a good crunchy texture, yet a nice soft center. The maple frosting was quite good, specifically in flavor, but it was a little on the hard side. By the way, if you like cinnamon rolls, they ones they make here are huge. The lady who served me was very sweet. read more

I bought a box of assorted donuts (with a coupon from a different app) so they had already picked what was in the box. I didn't even get to look until I got home I just noticed it was full. These are THE BEST donuts I have found so far in San Diego. The glaze is just right, no funny aftertaste. There was a donut that was as big as a Sasquatch foot with a delicious apple cinnamon filling. The place was clean and service was quick, but one lady was nicer than the other but who's to say that's not just my opinion. I will definitely buy my donuts here from now on. read more

CASH ONLY. I repeat, CASH ONLY! But they have an atm inside. This donut spot is a bit pricey with a dozen coming in at $15. But customer service is great. The lady added two extra donuts for me because I had to use the atm and didn't realize it was cash only. Very sweet because she didn't have to do that! The donuts a good size. They have all of your basics. Not too much to complain about.

My biggest issue with alot of donut places, is that they are "out" of donuts, or more will be made later, when they are usually open late night or 24/7. This donut gem is always consistent no matter what time of day I come and they are always fresh! They have a great variety, and they also have huge donuts if you are feeling mighty! I have a donut shop on the next block from my house and I will go out of my way to Donuts Plus instead because they are the best! Very reasonable prices! Cash only! read more

Some of the best donuts I've hade lately. The glazed old fashioned was perfect. It had that nice crunch on the outside but not too hard with that nice soft moist inside - absolutely delicious. And yes I'm still talking about the glazed old-fashioned doughnut lol. But the chocolate on chocolate with chocolate sprinkles the bomb!!! That was one of the best donuts I've had in a long time. Super fresh, the inside was nice and moist with that nice crisp outer shell with a thin layer of chocolate and then the chocolate sprinkles on top. I don't know how they do it but they just did it well. Cant wait to come back and try more because I know they will likely all be just as delicious. The staff was super friendly. And there wasn't a lot of people in there. The establishment has several tables right in the front and all those were clean and tidy. What more could you need at a donut shop. There's even an ATM machine inside. Be mindful, it's CASH ONLY! read more

I'm always on the hunt for good donuts. A place that makes fresh donuts throughout the day. Some of the local shops make donuts once in the early morning and that's what they sell until the next day. As a family who is more likely to consume donuts as dessert, we always appreciate a place that has fresh donuts later in the day. I stumbled on Donuts Plus one evening while picking up dinner in the same strip mall. They are open 24 hours and their donuts are fresh, with a good selection, late in the day. We've been known to drive to Lakeside for fresh donuts, late in the evening. The next time a late-night craving hits, we are going to Donuts plus, for sure!! read more

I usually get a dozen mixed donuts and what I love are the complimentary donut holes she gave me...very nice! They make some pretty tasty donuts here! I really liked the custard filled and the lemon filled donuts. Of course, I had to try a blueberry fritter and that was really good! This is a really great place to come to.

I'm pregnant and think about donuts constantly. It's a problem. Came here for the first time and was struck but the old school vibe. I played it classic and got glazed yeast and crumb cake donuts. Both were soooooo good. They were incredibly fresh and the cake donut was so soft on the inside, when they can tend to be on the dry, make you choke if you breathe the wrong way. I'm remorseful I only got two donuts. Will likely be back in the next few days. read more

Solid donut joint. Pulled up around 11p/12a times as I just reached SD. Tested my regular suspects : Glazed, and Custard Filled. For the fiance ingrabbed a Cream Cheese Croissant. Custard filled was good. Really creamy and chocolatey. The 1/2 dozen of glazed were okay. Nothing wowed me about them..... the donuts were super fluffy. So I gotta give credit where credit is due. Fiance ate the croissant -- didnt rant or rave about it so I'm assuming she just enjoyed it and moved on. read more

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!

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!

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!

There's enough parking for this location with a constant stream of business, but folks were also stopping at the curb or walking in from the nearby neighborhood. The shop is kept tidy and had a lot to offer. We would definitely pop in again when returning to the Old Town area of SD. Cheers! "CC"

Sunny Donuts

This is not a gourmet donut shop. And I am not looking for that. But I've seen Sunny Donuts many…read moretimes during my commute, and I finally gave in to my donut craving on my last passing of the shop. I appreciate the clean, bright, and organized upkeep of the front of the house. The display cases contain traditional donuts you would see nearly anywhere else. But what stands out are their freshness. Freshly baked at the back of the house, you can slightly see the backdoor baking from the fallen flour, commercial baking equipment, and such from the open doorway that leads to the kitchen. What I like most, however, is the customer service. It's welcoming, friendly, and appreciative of you for being there.

First I was rushed to order while checking out the donuts. Asked what was the Marble Donut and she turned around and said vanilla with chocolate, chocolate with vanilla very fast while shaking her head. The only drinks they had were the ones in the fridge (Starbucks iced coffee). Only had two Ham and cheese croissants.. That combination isn't even in the menu. The two things I wanted which was coffee and egg cheese croissants was not there. Customer service is the reason I would not recommend this place at all. The place is nice and maybe will have a better experience in the morning. AS FOR LATE AT NIGHT, I DO NOT RECOMMEND if you care about customer service.

Donut selection was rather lacking so we couldn't get many of our favorites. The donuts are on the small side. The apple fritters were dinky for the price. The lady did throw in a few donut holes and a half sized apple fritter so that was nice. I'd call this an average donut shop. Nothing really special but nothing truly negative either. The only problem is the limited parking in this shopping plaza. Don't be surprised if you wind up parking on the street.

Sadly, Peterson's sold and now are just a mere shell of what they were, making the hunt for a good donut a thing. My wife's colleagues brought in donuts from Mary's, and when she got home and said something about it, I had instant recall of the donut debate from my work. We pulled a late-night donut adventure, and ok East County peeps, you were right, you were right, I said it twice. (I'll still vouch for the old Petersons, but I digress). The staff was friendly here, and quick to point out their favorites, and what they are known for. Having these donuts, right there, just made them that much better than taking them to go.... which we did as well. This is a far hike from Escondido, to Santee, but a drive well worth it. There is a lot of parking in this strip mall/shopping center. The inside is bright and had plenty of seating and counterspace to sit and stuff your face. I will be back Mary's, I'll be back.

For those of you that don't know, pan dulce is not good after day 3. I stopped going after the second time my bread was stale. I tried the place again after the recent name change and I loved their ojo de guey, went again and unbeknownst to me I bought some stale ass conchas and pastelitos and 3 burnt scone looking things filled with chocolate custard. Their shelves are dusty as hell too, went to grab a borracho and noticed dust on it, I confused it with mold but the young man behind the counter reassured me and told me it was just dust because the shelves hadn't been cleaned. Totally sucks because I would love to support small businesses in my neighborhood but not when their standards are low and no sense of pride in their baked goods.

Well, sadly I will be the one to not give this place a 5 star review because the burrito wasn't good. The tortilla was very chewy. The egg (basically the burrito itself) had an odd texture. It almost felt dry. I working order the burrito anymore. The muffins were great though. They are tasty and moist. Very flavorful. Apparently this place sells their pastries wholesale to other coffee shops. The guy who attended me was very friendly. I do feel bad I can't give 5 stars but I also can't ignore the food, which is usually what I rate about. This place is located in an industrial type location. It's almost hidden. It's a small shop but it has a small area to sit. I would never had known about it because of its location.

This place is off the beaten path, but if you search for it, you will find it. They are located right off Alvarado Canyon Road and Basilica Place Drive. It's behind Grove Church and Connect English San Diego. I had an almond croissant and a house drip coffee. The almond croissant not only looked amazing but tasted very good as well. The croissant was soft, buttery, and crispy in all the right places; furthermore, the almond cream and paste inside the croissant was delicious. Lulu's Buns offer wholesale and retail baked goods and pastries. They also offer small breakfast items, such as breakfast burritos and sandwiches. Lulu, the owner is super nice.

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.
