Great selection of donuts, breakfast sandwiches (on croissant rolls). Clean restaurant, only two tables if you're eating there. Also have a wide variety of bottle/canned drinks to chose from (including milk, juice, soda, energy drinks). Donuts are fresh, service is great. After a few visits they know our name and order, and usually add some donut holes for my daughter. Always a great treat to visit. read more

BEST DONUTS EVER. you gotta try them!! I'm not joking. They are the best in San Marcos. It's a small and pops place, and I'm gonna guess the negative reviews are because of that. It seems like the owners are kind of old, so they might not be able to handle technology too well. Besides this, they're very nice people. When I ask for half a dozen donut holes, they give me one or two extra. It's the small gestures that make me come back to places like this one. read more

Extremely disappointed to find the store closed when Google said they will be open till 6pm. It's 3.25pm and I have no donut in my belly. We drove all the way here for donuts. It's really unprofessional of businesses to advertise like this. They just lost a lot of business too as all four of us have a mad craving for donuts, we weren't going to share! A craving so strong that we're willing to try a third donut store before going home and pretending the sesame seed bagel is indeed a donut with caramel bits! I would love to come back to try their donuts and leave an honest review on their actual product which sounds good. read more

I used to think donuts shops were a dime a dozen but boy was I wrong. Over the last few years I've been quite surprised to stumble across some not so great spots but this was NOT one of them. The gentleman and his wife who I'm pretty sure run the place were super friendly and very pleasing to talk with. I've been to many places where I feel like they are in a hurry to get your order and hurry you along, again not this place! The selection was huge and they even had delicious ham and cheese croissants. I'm telling you I would probably drive all the way from San Diego to come get another one of these things. The bread was soooo sweet and flaky and the cheese was oozing out and the touch of jalapeño was the cherry on top! I am sure glad I found this place thanks to yelp! Plenty of parking, easy to find and many chooses! Give it a try! Do-nut go elsewhere :-) read more

I ordered one of the donuts but the guy said that it is for the other person who was behind me because she goes to this place everyday. Seriously? You go this place and you can't buy your favorite donuts unless you go here everyday. The donuts were used to be good with a previous owner, but it has less than 10 donuts and they are below the average tastes. There are so many other better donut shops in San Marcos. You should easily find those with Yelp search. read more

I stop by regularly...the guy running the counter (probably the owner?) is always very friendly, says hi to my kids (and sometimes gives them an extra doughnut hole, so they love him!) and most importantly....some of the best doughnuts I've ever had! I've tested this on a number of people too...you normally assume all doughnuts are roughly the same, but there is something distinctly better about these every time. They are perfectly soft/moist on the inside, with a slight crisp on the outside that makes for a great texture unlike the generic doughnuts you can find at every other shop. Do bring cash though. They can run a debit card and give you cash back, but don't accept credit cards for smaller transactions, which i completely understand. read more

They were fresh and perfectly sweet. The portions are bigger than standard donut shops so I understand the prices are higher but it does add up! I like how they are open from 4am to midnight and weekends until 2am so you can satisfy your breakfast, daytime, or late night cravings.

Fresh ingredients, generous portions, and that perfect "California fuel" vibe that makes you feel like you've got your life together, even if you just rolled in half asleep. But here's where it gets funny. I order a bagel already pushing about $12--which, fine, inflation, San Marcos, avocados apparently guarded by federal agents now. Then the guy casually tries to tack on another $5 for a little bacon on top. Five dollars. For bacon. Not a farm. Not a pig. Just bacon. At that point I'm thinking this bacon better come with its own birth certificate and LinkedIn profile. And the best part? Nobody even asked what kind of bagel I wanted. No "sesame, everything, plain?" Nothing. Just mystery bagel roulette. Customer service isn't terrible, but it's definitely operating in autopilot mode. A little more attention would go a long way. That said, the food itself is solid. Yum Yum has the reputation for a reason, and when they're on point, they're on point. Fix the small service quirks and the surprise bacon tax, and this place is easily 5 stars. For now, strong 4 stars--great food, just don't let the bacon negotiate against you.

Others have shared how stellar the customer service is, and we couldn't agree more. Sophia instantly made us feel at home and had us smiling and laughing with her the entire time we were there. We left feeling like our cups were full. :) She let us know their family owned business has been in the community for 40+ years and after trying the donuts it's obvious why. All of the donuts were super fresh, extremely fluffy, and so tasty, while the case and the rest of the shop was well maintained and clean...it's obvious a great amount of heart and care goes into their operation. We chose a variety of apple fritters, donut holes, old fashions, custard-filled, glazed, chocolate, maple, and a cinnamon crunch, cinnamon roll, and sugar twist donut along with a breakfast sandwich. Talk about choices! I mentioned to Sophia that I had a certain allergy and she immediately offered to special make a modified breakfast option for me without hesitation. We'll definitely be regulars moving forward - support local!
