I've been so Savoy a few times and every time it's really good, the last couple of times the donuts have been warm and that's been absolutely amazing. There donuts are soft, not to sweet but sweet enough, fluffy and taste great. I recently took a dozen to work and everyone loved them. read more

The customer service is great and the staff are so friendly. They remember me when I come in and will give extra donut holes in our bags when I bring the kids I babysit sit with me. The donuts are so good and fresh. I highly recommend. read more

A go to spot for donuts in Escondido. From plain glaze to maple bars and everything in between. My church Trinity Episcopal orders them for our coffee hour as well. Great people. read more

We made a stop to savoy donuts before heading on our family trip and I have to say these were top notch donuts. My wife and I prefer more dough than just a donut covered in icing when it comes to donuts. These didn't disappoint, very fluffy and airy. They had the perfect balance of dough and icing for us. I suggest you get there early, when we had arrived it was 8am and they're display was already empty but thankfully they had more in the kitchen. read more

I try to visit a donut shop every time I venture into a city I don't know. Savoy Donuts are hands down some of the best donuts I've ever had. My go to is chocolate old fashioned. Theirs did not disappoint! I got a mix of cake, buttermilk, and savory croissants. So delicious! And the shop owners were so welcoming and friendly. My kind of place! read more

Came in at 8AM on a Thursday and there were only 3 sheets of donuts left. Hmm, luckily one of the sheet was full of croissants...all fruit though. There was one Cream Cheese one left, so I took that. My first go at a cream cheese filling. It was very sweet. I'm partial to the savory ones, but this was fine. The quality of the croissant was impeccable leading me to believe that their ham and cheese would be great. Unfortunately, It seems I'll have to come in very early if I'm going to review one of those. 2 stars for not having any donuts. Will try again. read more

Savoy Donuts - Cream Cheese - Donuts Near Me - Escondido, California

Donuts are donuts but excellent customer service is hard to come by. This place is small but provides a large variety of donuts! Parking is difficult as it's located in the corner of a busy business center but it's not too bad. I feel comfortable every time I come in as the patrons all look like regulars and retirees. I especially like their painting/poster that's up on the wall -a vintage Las Vegas! Get here early for best selection and to avoid a line and remember to bring cash! I'll be back for sure to buy a few dozen for my staff when we have a good month... read more

Savoy Donuts - 5 dozen lol - Donuts Near Me - Escondido, California

After 3 too many bad trips to gross gross, oops I mean "yum yum" doughnuts, I decided to make a trip across town to try this place one weekday morning this past week after seeing the reviews. I was so glad I did. The owner seemed very friendly, and the doughnuts were ALL super delicious and very fresh. Only downside is that you have to get there early as others have said. I got there around 8:30 and the selection was getting very low but i was still super happy to find a mom and pop shop to start supporting when I am in the mood for doughnuts read more

Savoy Donuts - Donuts Near Me - Escondido, California

Called on Friday morning asking if they had Halloween theme donuts or donut holes and they let me know they had donuts coming out of the oven and could add theme sprinkles to them. They also asked what kind of icing I would like! They were so so nice and told me I called at the right time. They said that a lot of times they run out quickly in the morning so if I want something similar for a future holiday, to call even the day before. I was able to get 1 dozen donuts with chocolate icing and Halloween sprinkles + 10 donut holes, 1/2 of which had Halloween sprinkles for my daughters teachers. read more

Savoy Donuts is most certainly a "don't judge a book by its cover" type of place. Hidden away in a crappy little mini-mall, Savoy doesn't look like much from the outside. Once inside, there's not much room, a few ice cream parlor type tables with fixed chairs and the order counter and display case. It's what's inside the display case that takes Savoy out of its mundane surroundings and vaults it into a higher level of donutery that most shops don't reach. And they don't go for all the frou-frou like some of those other donut places. These donuts are simple (even their 'fancies' are pretty simple), clean and so very delicious. You won't find slices of bacon or breakfast cereal on Savoy's donuts, it's just the basics here with some croissant variations thrown in for good measure. I don't know what it takes to make a great donut, but whatever it is, Savoy is using it cuz all they make are great donuts. This is also not one of those 24-hour shops, Savoy is up with the birds and done by early lunch (5:30 am - 12 pm). I usually get there just around closing time and by then their supply is dwindling, yet all still somehow fresh and delicious. If you're wanting a larger selection to choose from, get there early. The owner is always upbeat, at least all the times I have been there, and a friendly, hands-on owner is always good for business. You could sit down at one of the tables and eat there, but I'm guessing most people do what I do, take them home and share them with the people you love. DISCLAIMER: Sure, donuts are not healthy, they're deep-fried, filled with sugar and may even take a few days to digest (according to some folks), but some donuts are worth the risk, Savoy's definitely fall into this category. Live dangerously, eat a Savoy donut. read more

See all

This is my go to spot for donuts for my coworkers. The donuts are delicious and light. They don't taste super greasy or stale. You need to go early for the best selection or call your order in the day before. Customer service is fantastic. So friendly and accommodating. Best donuts in the area. read more

I love this place. They have awesome donuts .... if you wake up at 5am and start lining up at 9pm the day before to find any. It's so disappointing I never make it in time to find any donuts arriving at around 8am! I could understand about 10am running out already, but 8 am really? Last 3 times I've gone they are always out of stock trying to push the creme filled donuts on customers. Who makes creme filled donuts these days? Ugh. Disappointed they don't make enough stock for the day. read more

Hands down the best donut I've ever had. I've tried almost all of them and have never been anything close to disappointed! Dan and Cindy are lovely human beings and a pleasure to chat with as well. read more

Super yum! I got a dozen donuts here for my coworkers to enjoy. The donuts were a good size, while being light and airy. They practically melt in your mouth like a good donut should. Highly recommended and I will be going back again! read more

Fresh donuts, best in town! Try their croissants as well, jalapeño/ham is my favorite. So soft and flaky, absolutely delicious!

This morning was my first time coming here and I just wanted to give credit to the wonderful customer service. The woman and man working the front were so kind and welcoming and made my morning that much better. I brought my son in to get a donut but wound up leaving with some for myself because I mean, how can you not, right? I'm simple and got the glazed and plain, cake donuts. But sheesh were they FIRE! Demolished in 2.5 seconds on the way home (do not judge me). 10/10 recommend! read more

Very clean and super friendly. Better donuts than Peterson's Donuts. Bought four donuts and they gave me two for free. We must have looked hungry. Very Tasty Donuts.... read more

My favorite donuts in town! They always taste super fresh and chewy. Highly recommend, just get there early because they sell quick :)

One of the best donut in town!! The owners are great and friendly. The donuts are BIG, soft and delicious. Satisfying cheweyness to it. The whole office loved it and now they are telling me i need to keep getting them more and more. I cant wait to try other donuts.... Especially ham and chees croissant!! read more

Savoy Donuts - Donuts Near Me - Escondido, California

Friendly staff and family owned business. It still kills mw that they only take cash but there's a 7/11 nearby with an atm. The donuts are more on the cakier side. One of the best crumb and coconut flake donuts I've had! But the chocolate glaze and sugar glazed were as expected, but not extraordinary. I'd give this place a try. I think it's a step up from Peterson's donuts. read more

Wow! Ok so just had Savoy for the first time and I am hooked. I have been to a few different doughnut shops in the area and none compare. Super fresh, great portions, their "filled doughnuts" are FILLED, killer variety and very important nice staff. We bought a bakers dozen and ALL of the of them were top notch!! Thanks Savoy! read more

Just discovered this neighborhood donut shop. We now make it our Saturday ritual to get donuts from here rather than Peterson's. Savoy's donuts are really fluffy and soft and they're huge. We usually order chocolate glazed and regular glazed and they threw in a blueberry cake one the last time. All were delicious and reasonably priced. read more

This place is hard to find if you're going off of google or apple maps since it just drops you into the plaza and says "its around here, good luck." the shop is at the very end of the plaza facing valley parkway. It's small, so don't miss it! I got a dozen for $10.95, + a few jelly filled so the total came out to be $12 for a dozen. I went on a Friday at 8:30am and they sold out of so many donuts already! I was left with some old fashions, sugar, cake, and jelly filled. Oh well. I love maple-anything, and the maple old fashion was good! the dough was so yummy and crispy, and the maple glaze was really thick on top. It was a little overwhelming by the 4th bite because of how sweet it was, but I imagine it going great with a cup of coffee. read more

I must have come at an off time, it was shortly before closing by but there was barely anything left. Service was not the best either, very much an old school donut shop, nothing exciting really. Prices are ok, I went with a coconut donut, it was fine, nothing special and not worth going out of my way to return. Might be better if you come early in the morning as they close around noon. read more

So I've been frequenting this establbishment for the last couple of years now, and I thought it was finally time to submit an update. In the last year, I probably haven't once come into Savoy and not been able to get a chocolate bar. In fact, I often end up getting them warm because there is a new batch coming out - they hook me up with them before they can even put them out because they know it's what I want! I really couldn't ask for a better donut or better service. This is the best donut in San Diego, hands down. read more

Quite literally the best donut place in Escondido, nay, in North County! 1) The donuts are always fresh and fluffy. 2) The lady at the counter is always to sweet and tends to throw in several free donut holes/donuts here and there. I have never left Savoy disappointed - except the first time I drove there on a Sunday and realized that's the only day they are closed. read more

Savoy Donuts - She threw in an extra donut :-) - Donuts Near Me - Escondido, California

My brother and I are making a tradition of treating ourselves each to a donut after our morning run. We have tried donuts all over SD and Cindy's by far are THE BEST! We don't know how she does it but they're never greasy, never too sweet, but just riiiggghhhtt! Soooo good. Their glazed are always amazing and today we tried the blueberry cream cheese crescent. OMG! read more

Simply amazing. They are so good and different from any other Donut. A little crispy on the outside and their dough just adds to this next level experience read more

Savoy Doughnuts is truly wonderful. They have a wide selection of doughnuts from cakes to glazed. In my opinion their crown jewel is their buttermilks. I am a huge fan of Peterson's but this place trumps their buttermilks any day of the week. They are moist, sweet, and don't feel as heavy and rich as other buttermilks. My favorites would have to be the maple glazed but the regulars are also incredible! The owners work hard and it shows with their delicious doughnuts! I will be returning to Savoy Doughnuts, hungry for more. read more

Awesome Donut place! I showed up at 5:28am and it was dark. Two minutes later the cabinet holding all the donuts lit up. A man unlocked the door and let me in. Straight to the counter I went and immediately decided on the ham, jalapeno and cheese croissant, a chocolate buttermilk, and a strawberry cream cheese croissant. I had a sweet and savory craving that only pastries could satisfy. The croissants were still warm and flaky. The ham and cheese with jalapeno was one of the best I've had. Usually, I ask other places to warm it up because it's most likely been sitting but at this hour they were freshly baked. The strawberry cream cheese was just as good but in a sweet way. The lady behind the counter threw in some donut holes with my order. Very nice people here. read more

Savoy Donuts - Croissant loaded with ham, cheese and jalapeño, choco buttermilk, glazed donut holes and a strawberry and cream cheese croissant - Donuts Near Me - Escondido, California

Right off the bat, a woman greeted me with a chipper good morning and the biggest smile on her face at 7 a.m. I instantly smiled and she asked me what I would like. I then realized that the shop was a cash only place and I told her I don't have any cash on me especially during the pandemic. She said how back I come back and pay her. I was in disbelief. I have never had someone that I have NEVER met before trust me to do something like that. I told her no, it's ok you don't have to do that and she sure insisted. I got two dozens and I gave her my phone number for reassurance. She said I don't have to because she trusts me. Even before trying the donuts, I already knew that I wanted to tip her a billion dollars and write this review. When I opened the donuts, I realized she also gave an extra in each box! I would have to say, this is one of the best customer service experiences I have ever been happily a part of. During these hard times, its a marvelous site to interact with such a wonderful human being. PLEASE, come to shop not just because the donuts are HUGE and fluffy but also because you can leave with a huge smile on your face :) Thank you Savory Donuts for the wonderful experience! read more

Always love Savoy Donuts by the auto park. They do a great job and big in helping the community. Thank you! Love maple bars.

They have good donuts here. I came mid-morning on a Saturday and they did not have a large selection of donuts. Reading some of the other reviews, I can understand why. A lot of regulars shop here as most of the people that came in were pretty familiar with the lady working the counter. I would definitely stop by here again but earlier in the morning. read more

Best donuts in town... definitely better than Peterson's. They are so friendly too. You must get there early, especially on the weekends, because they run out of donuts quickly. Once they are out, they close. Their prices are very reasonable. read more

We came here for the first time since we just realized it was Mardi Gras today. It's a family tradition to eat donuts, but with all the covid stuff, we had forgotten. We were lucky to get here before they closed at noon. The donuts are huge! Everyone is happy with their selections and the friendly lady behind the counter even gave us two extra cake donuts! read more

Savoy Donuts - Maple log, cake donuts, cinnamon bun with topping - Donuts Near Me - Escondido, California

I've eaten dozens of donuts in my life and my taste buds have never experienced the joy when I bit into one of their cream-filled eclair bars this morning. I was very impressed with the variety and sheer size of their donuts. Wow-I just discovered the owner/operator slipped in a complimentary cake donut into my bag. I'll definitely be back. read more

Typical donuts..........Maple Bars were great, bought a LA Times outside store so that was good! Nice lady, it appears they aim to please. I would rate them very similar to Donuts Star in size and quality. Keep up the good work! My top 5: 1. Marts 2. Petersons's 3. Donuts Star/Savoy 4. Yum Yum (Old Winchell's, Valley Pkwy) 5, Showcase (closed?) Just found out this place was robbed on August 2, 2012! read more

Savoy Donuts - To the first of the Chiro!! - Donuts Near Me - Escondido, California

Guess what- I don't usually care for donuts nor do I really ever crave them. However this place is truly special. No fuss donuts with ridiculous flavors or trying to follow a trend. Incredible quality and SO freeeeeessshhhh.... I've had the top donut spots like Peterson's (no offense but their quality has gone down a lot), voodoo donuts in Oregon, donut bar and many others. This place has a very special place in my heart. I'm also glad that not many people know about it and continues to be a hidden gem because I don't have to wait in a crazy line for subpar hype. When they run out for the day, they close. They're also not always open exactly at the time it says but it's easy to overlook. It's just THAT GOOD. read more

Best doughnuts in San Diego. Great owners, always fresh and larger than other places. Get there early, (opens at 5:00 AM) for the best choices. read more

Love love love this place!!!! Simple shop with great donuts!! I don't understand why people to go Peterson's donuts. (not a fan) Love the maple bar! And everything that they make! read more
