    Our favorite local donuts! Sizes are larger than than your ordinary which is awesome! Everything is delicious and freshly made every day. So airy and fluffy, it's best to buy them first thing in the morning Family owned & the sweetest small-business owners are the ones serving you! Anytime we bring a box of their donuts to our friends and family everyone always asks where they're from

    One of the many doughnut places that I had come across was golden doughnuts that was near the Euclid shopping center specialty doughnuts .

    Of the many places that I have visited here in National City yet there have been places they make stale and hard doughnuts . For some of the bakeries there is one place that has surprised the flavor of the morning doughnuts from the frostings it's been the Golden Doughnuts. Having been to the shopping mall I wanted to try the doughnuts for many people would be waiting in the store for the orders. Coming from food 4 less I went into the store there wA a few people ordering doughnuts the doughnuts they had some of the ones I like of the old fashioned and the buttermilk bars the best. Watching the person helping other customers I was able to choose my doughnuts when the worker asked me for my order. The worker there at the Golden Doughnuts was very welcoming greeted all the customers the smell of great doughnuts that were cooking in the back area. Getting a mixed dozen that was a total of $14.25. Taking the doughnuts home the great flavors of the chocolate long johns and some of the best cake doughnuts that have the best taste in fresh with flavors of the glaze . Golden Doughnuts have the best from the best old fashion the soft crispy taste and with the maple and great chocolate taste the best taste for the old fashioned. As a Yelp Elite Reviewer the many deserts that are made of the best flavors of the lemon to the chocolate cream are some of the best for filled. Golden Doughnuts the best in San Diego the great tastes of the old fashioned flavors .

    The last few times that I've came. I've noticed that there's been a strange taste in the donuts. I thought maybe the oil was old. I came in today and I couldn't even finish the donut. That strange taste that I've tasted the last couple of times was even stronger than before and it tasted kind of chemically. I'm not sure but I think they're adding something to the oil to try to salvage it longer because the donut tastes terrible and I'm gonna have to throw them all away because I don't wanna give them to my kids. I just belched and I can taste it.

    Family owned. I've been going here for years. Super nice & friendly. All is good. You gotta try the cheese & jalapeno bread.

    Look no further for yummy amazing donuts here at Golden Donuts! I'm simple and like it glazed and they make them large and fluffy here. The lady was super nice and gave us an extra donut that was dark brown and sprinkled with sugar to try. I also got a pink donut with coconut shreds and it was pretty! My boyfriend tried one with jelly filling and he ate that up. I'm not a sweet tooth but donuts are always delicious and make for an inexpensive treat. I would order donuts here to take for work next time!

    Came here around 1030am and it was delicious! They have stepped their game up and the glazed donuts taste like you are biting an Angel. They remind me of real New Orleans Beignets! The women and men working here are always super kind and customer friendly. They always have fresh batches of donuts and very wide selections. They even have the maple bacon donuts always fresh. We will increase our visits here to Golden Donuts. Yummy

    This is our second time trying this place & we are officially hooked! Fresh fresh fresh!!! This time we opted to get the donuts delivered via doordash and the quality was still on point. We included the donuts we wanted in the comments section & they gave us exactly what we wanted. We also added a ham and cheese croissant. It was so good! Definitely recommend this donut shop! Great experience today

Definitely recommend this place for sure! Thank you for being open! Support your local businesses during this time!

    The first time I came here I was at the taco shop connected to the shop. While waiting I went and…read morebought two doughnuts for my hubby and son. The lady that ran the shop gave me 4 more on the house cause they were closing up. She was so sweet. Just like those doughnuts. I knew when I had an event I'd be buying a bunch here to support her shop. So for my son's birthday he wanted droughts instead of cake. I ordered 2 dozen rainbow doughnuts. Although they were not ready when I arrived and had to come back later. The doughnuts were so cute and delicious. All my guests said they were the best doughnuts ever. I even had one. I never eat doughnuts. And I loved them so much. Fluffy, huge and yummy. Tx guys. You made my boys birthday extra sweet.

    This was my first visit to this location, around 11:55 a.m. I ordered a half dozen assorted donuts…read more Since the employee was pulling the donuts from the back instead of the display case, she asked me to call out my order as she packed the box. I ordered one glazed twist and one chocolate twist, but I didn't open the box until I got home and realized I had been given two chocolate twists instead. I also noticed the Long John had a noticeable thumb indentation in the icing, and the red velvet donut was about one-third smaller than the ones that were on display. It was my mistake for not checking the box before leaving, but it was too far of a drive to go back. One suggestion I would make is to leave the box open until the customer has a chance to verify the order before it's closed. That could help prevent simple mistakes like this. Overall, the donuts tasted good, but paying a little more attention to order accuracy and presentation would make for a much better first impression.

I feel like you're not really saving much. It was much better when you got the deal for $6 last year.

If that's your vibe, you might love it here! I think the issue for me is the espresso itself. I've tried switching things up plenty of times like adding extra shots, adjusting the sweetness, trying different combinations and I haven't found the one that clicks for me. That said, I will say the black iced coffee or cold brew is pretty decent. It's not my first coffee stop, but if I'm looking for something simple and keto friendly, I'd consider it. One thing I do really like is the cup sizes. You definitely get a lot of coffee for what you order, and I wish I loved the taste because the portion sizes are huge. Another positive is the service every time I've gone, the staff has been friendly and I've never had an issue. That alone goes a long way for me and is a big reason I'm still giving it 3 stars. Also, worth mentioning: they had these bling tumblers one time and they were actually super cute and girly. I grabbed a few for Christmas gifts for some friends and they loved them.

I was also surprised to see that they expanded their space that offers seating and a coffee shop! They use beans sourced from Philippines for their coffee. Good move on their end if you want to enjoy your filipino pastry with coffee or tea! My go to items rotate between the Spanish bread, pizza pandesal, and regular pandesal fresh from the oven. For my most recent visit, I was surprised to see they had the ilocos empanada available. Like i mentioned, its been a minute since coming here so not sure how long they've been making them. The last time i had an ilocos empanada was when visited Vigan Philippines in 2017! I ordered on in addition to a chicken empanada and pizza pandesal. I decided to check out the coffee shop and what made me backtrack was that they make calamansi tea (with either black or jasmine tea). Decided to order that and eat the ilocos empanada at the cafe while it was still warm. The ilocos empanada: big portion ($6). You can order with or without cheese ($7 with cheese). I opted without cheese because this is how i remember eating it. It also comes with a vinegar sauce. It was delicious. Perfect crunch. Perfect ratios of papaya, mung beans, meat and egg. Calamansi black tea - yummy as well. Not too sweet. Tasted good with the empanada. I will definitely be coming back for the ilocos empanada. They make them daily and often replenished throughout the day (according to the employee). Parking here may be tight if coming durinf busy hours since it shares the spaces with titas kitchenette (also delicious) and island pacific market as well as other small businesses in the strip mall.
