Been coming here for YEARS. The gal here is an absolute ray of sunshine! These folks will always have my business. Donuts are always fresh & outstanding flavor. Prices are competitive. Friendly, professional, & personable service. Just need the apple fritters ready by 7AM! Thanks guys! We appreciate you! read more

Visiting the area and looking for doughnut shop urge. Great find, people are super friendly and the butter milk bar was the best I have ever tasted and big. Will definitely be back for more. A little hard to find but don't give up. read more

This is our go-to Saturday morning spot to get our donut fix! You can't walk into this place without receiving a friendly greeting and great service. There's always a regular or two in the shop, enjoying chatting with the staff as well as the tasty donuts. Always fresh, but you need to get there on the early side because when they're gone, they're gone! Check them out! read more

Wow! If you thought that "other" donut shop was good you haven't tried Savoy Donuts. Dan and Cindy are very friendly and are always available to visit. The pleasantries are good but what's important are the donuts! Oh my! Awesome! The maple bars are to die for! Always fresh, often still warm - these are the best. Don't miss out. Check out Savoy Donuts. A welcome treat! You can find them at Valley Parkway and Auto Parkway (Across from BevMo, behind 7/11 and Burger King). read more

Escondido's most awesome doughnuts. My kids begged me to drive clear across town one morning to try Savoy. I'm sure glad now I made the trip. Get there early, they do sell out read more

I love this donut place. Honestly I walked down the street from my home, super pregnant like I was due any minute, any day, and it was a Saturday early morning. I was craving a donut so bad and needed to walk because I was having labor pains. So I look up the closest donut shop and Savoy Donuts pops up. I walk and get there and it's busy. I didn't even know there was a donut shop here. Wow so many choices. I opted for my normal order of a sprinkle donut for my son, a chocolate glazed and regular glazed for myself. Oh my. The bite into the glazed donut was so satisfying. Like it was so soft and yet slightly crunchy at the same time. Incredible. Just truly incredible. I remember the first day I went and now it's history. I guess it's so fresh in my mind because like two days later I gave birth. I think that walk did it for me. Now I go there whenever I'm craving a donut despite me living close to valley center. I'll drive for these donuts. They are closed on Sunday which I didn't know before and you have to get here early because they do sell out and once it's out, it's out. I'll buy extra donuts just to have for later in the day and it's still super soft and super yummy! I grew up with my parents best friends owning a donut shop in Orange County and I'd visit their shop every weekend in my childhood. These Savoy donuts remind me of comfort, remind me of my childhood. They taste like the donuts I'd eat as a kid every weekend. Sadly my parents best friend had passed and it's only his wife and children who no longer live in Orange County and they closed the donut shop a long time ago so I haven't had their donuts in a long time but the fact that there's a place who makes donuts just as great, it makes me super happy. I'm so glad I was pregnant and craving a donut. I found a place that will forever give me a feeling of comfort when eating a donut. Reminds me of good times. read more

The fresh clean flavor of frequently changed oil results in a wonderful donut flavor. The owner is the nicest small business owner you could ever hope to meet. The cleanliness of the lobby seating area is second to none. When I first movers to 92029 I was told that Peterson was the best. If it were a competition it would not be close. I would rate as equal in quality to Donut Touch in Scripps with a bit less variety. Signed Happy 92029 homeowner read more

Best place to buy your donuts for I come here every morning way better then any donut shop around in escondido

This is it. The best doughnut place in all of Escondido. Leaps and bounds beyond that of Peterson's Doughnuts (Which don't get me wrong, they're pretty great, too). The store hours are geared towards the early birds, however you are guaranteed the freshest doughnut that'll wake you right up. I've been here many times by now and literally every single time I've gone they throw in an extra doughnut or two just because. So in return I put in a couple bucks as tip, which really isn't asking much because these doughnuts are insanely cheap for how good they are. The owners are very friendly and really make you feel welcomed. I went there once a week for a month straight, then I stopped for a while. Upon returning, they remembered me and noticed I hadn't been there in a while. That'll make you feel pretty special. Especially considering there seems to be usual customers there. Aside from amazing doughnuts, low prices and outstanding customer service, they even have some beverages to enjoy your doughnut with. I always get two strawberry milks to go! The only downside I have for this place is that they take cash only. However, that's totally fine because it's so close to a 7-11 that it doesn't matter. Parking is fine and despite not being much of an early morning kind of guy, the hours of operation are fine as well. Overall, I say Savoy's has the best doughnuts in all of Escondido! read more

Savoys will never disappoint...except when they close earlier than you expect after they have sold every last donut. That's happened once when I arrived about 11am on a workday. I was so excited to be able to try a donut from Savoys with my coworker (as it's his favorite donut place) and then when we found out it was closed for the day...we made a bee line to the closest donut shop we could find. So one visit later, the same duo (my coworker and I) went again but at 10am and they had plenty of donuts left (a few dozen)! The couple who owns the place are so nice that they treat you like you're family. Every time we have come back (and they're still open) it's like coming to a family reunion. Extra special right there. I usually get a half dozen of the glazed donut holes because it's like having a bunch of donuts for the day when in reality it's just like having one glazed round. Donuts aren't oily, they're evenly coated with glaze (of the ones that have a glaze), and they're just perfect little pillows of sugary dough. Cash only, as most local donut places are, and their prices are pretty reasonable. Try a donut here if you haven't already and find your local favorite--shop local!! You bet your sweet bottom I will be back again. read more

I've been trying to try this place forever, but they've never been open. Come early, they close when they run out of donuts it seems. This is your typical donut shop, yellow tinged everything, a coupe little tables with discarded newspapers, open carton of half & half on the counter for coffee...I came around 8:00 on a Monday morning and there was a full selection of donuts available. I picked up a raspberry filled and a glazed buttermilk log with a small coffee. came to around $3.00. When I was back in my car and driving down the road I noticed that I had a couple bonus donut-holes in the bag. Cool! The donuts themselves look pretty average, but in taste and texture they are by no means average. The jelly filled was the best I had ever had,light and airy cake; not tough and leathery like other donut places. No overwhelming layer of glaze either. Just enough. people seem to want to compare this place to Peterson's, but it's really a completely different animal. No massive novelty donuts or inch thick cake icing here, just the classics done perfectly in an unpretentious setting. The only fault I can find is the wacky hours this place keeps... but I guess you have to be that way sometimes to maintain quality. read more

For donuts in Esco, Peterson's seems to be the cool spot to hit up. I like Peterson's, though I find their donuts to be overly giant and a little to "bready." I think I've found a place that's more enjoyable for me. Savoy is a pretty small shop. I came in around 9:30am, and the selection was somewhat reduced, though there was still pretty to choose from. I ordered a maple bacon and a glaze round. First thing I noticed was that the bag was warm! Second thing I noticed was that the nice lady threw in an extra blueberry buttermilk. That is some next level service. First up was the maple bacon. The donut itself has a nice chewy texture. The maple frosting was delicious. The bacon was bacon, nothing wrong with that. Then I went after the blueberry buttermilk. I've had buttermilk donuts before that completely took over my mouth, but not this one. It was slightly crispy on the outside and nice and moist on the inside. Finally, the glaze. Though it was the last one, it was still slightly warm! Besides Krispy Kreme, I don't think I've had a "fresh" donut before. I'm not claiming this was fresh (those could have been heat lamps for all I know), but it was a good effect. I think it could have been more glazed, but that is a trivial complaint. I'm a little sad they didn't have my go to (Boston cream), but maybe if I show up earlier next time. I probably shouldn't have eaten all three. In one sitting, no less. But I would have been denying myself a great donut experience. If I want cronuts, I'll go to Peterson's, but Savoy is the jam. read more

Absolutely the best donuts in Escondido! I was raised on 'Donut star' and 'Peterson's Donuts'. This place has the freshest donuts in the city. It is true that they sell out most days by 10am or earlier. Knowing this I go there around 8am to make sure the selection is good. Also take note that this shop services tons of commercial businesses in this part of Escondido during the weekdays so you need to make sure you get there early on weekdays for best selection. My favorite donuts are the Blueberry caked, and I usually hate caked donuts. read more

Update: we even ordered donuts from here for our wedding! Instead of cake, gorgeous piles of blueberry donut, orange donuts, and donut holes! Everyone loved it. The donuts tasted amazing and they were so helpful with the process! read more

I'm a self declared donut enthusiast. Lol. Probably the best donut I've had from a mom and pop shop in San Diego county. I'm a native so I've been to a lot. I live near sdsu, but worth the drive. read more

Savoy Donuts - Donuts Near Me - Escondido, California

It IS truly the best donuts in town. The donuts are soft and fresh (always). The blueberry donut is perfect; it has the crunch when you bite it but still moist inside. Better than Dunkin Donuts's blueberry donut. Owner lady is friendly. read more

Savoy Donuts - It IS truly the best donuts in town. - Donuts Near Me - Escondido, California

A donut shop that actually makes their own donuts! I've never had a stale donut and the owners are very nice. Very friendly with the kids and always give a few donuts holes for free to keep the kids excited. Several times I've been here I got fresh donuts that were still warm from coming out but if the oven. My 2 favorites are the lemon filled and chocolate bars. read more

I've been twice and both times the woman behind the counter has thrown something extra in my bag. I thought it was a happy accident at first but when it happened a second time I became a customer for life! read more

This quiet little donut shop has THE BEST donuts in northern San Diego County, worth a little bit of a drive if you're craving really good donuts! Their apple fritters are to die for and their frosted donuts are so good, they do not scrimp on the frosting and the batter can't be beat! It's owned and operated by a little Asian woman who is so nice and always remembers what her regulars like best. I have been to the ever popular Peterson's and they are good but Savoy has them beat in freshness and yumminess. Be sure to check her hours as she is only open in the morning until about noon. read more

It's a little mom & pop donut shop hole-in-the-wall type of place near the auto-circle in Escondido... It's real easy to miss unless you know where it is or you see the little handmade sign that points to where it is. If you miss the entrance though, it'll be a pain in the @$$ to get back to it... It's real small... only about 4 or 5 tables inside... I ordered 2 donuts - chocolate glazed and coconut sprinkles - to go. The prices are typical for a mom & pop donut shop. The lady who served me was nice and service was fairly quick. I came in at about 8:45am on a Thursday morning and there was no line... Not sure how it is on other days or other times... I brought my bag of donuts to my car and I was surprised that she gave me two donut holes for free. SCORE!!! :) That was definitely a nice surprise but I was more surprised at how fluffy the donuts were... so delicious!!! I would definitely come back again if I'm in the area... definitely worth the visit! read more

By far the best doughnuts I have had in North county! Bought 2 dozen for work, and majority of my coworkers said the same. It's cash only but the 7/11 has an ATM. read more

I was a little disappointed with this place because of the great reviews this place has. I'm not a Huge donut person, if i do happen to crave a donut i like to enjoy glazed donut holes. They don't have glazed donut holes they only have plain regular, wasn't fan a they were a little dry. So I grabbed a regular donut and my donut was a little on the crunchy side and the frosting was too sweet. Overall the staff was nice, the lady threw me in 3 donut holes and my one donut for $1, that was really nice of her. read more

The donut place my neighbor recommended because he swore it was way better than Peterson's Donuts and he was ABSOLUTELY RIGHT! It was difficult to find but they are located facing auto parkway side back corner outside of the 2 story building. So if you're making a left on auto parkway, the second immediate entrance to your right and immediate left to the shops in the back corner. Donuts are fresh and delicious! The way donuts are suppose to be! read more

Best in local vicinity! Pros: Yummy donuts Close off freeway Good prices Great customer service Cons: Hours are limited Therefore, selection can be limited Note... 10x better than Peterson's!!! Alternative (and my favorite is VG Donuts in Cardiff by the Sea). read more

I don't eat donuts often, trying to be healthy and avoid sugar, but I will not give up donuts completely. If your gonna give in you gotta have the best to make it worthwhile. This place is THE BEST! Great owners who care about their customers. Great donuts too. Quality, well made, tasty, and worth every calorie and gram of fat/sugar. Give it a try. Pick up your favorite to-go or try one of their stuffed pastries (options vary daily from fruits, meats, jalapeño, cheese...) Only thing that could be better here is their coffee. If their coffee was as good as their donuts it would be an amazing one-stop-shop and I'd weigh more. For now, I'm okay coming here just for my donut fix. read more

Best donuts in Escondido - - Peterson's is no comparison or donut star. The donuts are fresh and yummy and they sell out fast every morning - they always throw in a free donut too. Don't go anywhere else -- it's not worth it! read more

Such fresh delicious doughnuts. They always give my kids a few doughnut holes which make their day. We drove to it for a pick me up during this madness with covid and they are closed. Best health and wished to the owners. See you when this is all over read more

I still love these donuts and plan to drive up soon from PQ to buy a dozen. Get there early because they sell out fast! Best Donuts within 20 miles. read more

If you get there early,some of the donuts are still warm,and if you get a warm Apple fritter,it is the best thing ever!

Their vanilla frosted old fashion donut is simply amazing and I've never seen it anywhere else. So good

Seriously the best donuts ever. I crave the maple raised donuts all the time. The owners are extremely nice and friendly. The texture of the donuts is nothing like I have ever tasted before. Yum. You do have to be quick and get there early before they run out. My fiance went to buy a dozen around 9am and all the best ones were gone. Also, they are not open on Sundays which is a bummer, however, it makes you want to get up earlier on Monday to swing by for some. read more

Best maple bar in town, I also love the plain glazed donuts, so Doughyful (Yes I know that's not a word, but it should be)

Got my breakfast from my favorite donut shop. I love this place because the lady who owns it is sooo sweet (like the donut she makes!) and the donuts got a bit of crunch on the outside, soft and fluffy in the inside with the right amount of sweetness. I'm from LA and I make sure to get the donuts whenever I'm in Escondido. read more

Savoy Donuts - Best donuts, ever!! - Donuts Near Me - Escondido, California

I am not much of a sweets in the morning, or donut person for that matter. But God blessed these bakers hands, I have literally never tasted anything so great. Unfortunately I'm sure after my pregnancy I will NEVER want a donut again but for now I buy a HUGE GLAZED DONUT for a $1 every morning! The owners never fail to ask me how I am, or about the baby. Such great people Thank you Savoy Donuts! read more

Their blueberry cake donut is my favorite donut ever. Only issue is they go fast and sometimes they haven't made them when I go in, so I have to drive back after they make em. Owner said I can call ahead so that's the new plan. Love em! read more

Finally figured out that you MUST get there early because they run out and close. Also not open on Sundays. Have to buy them on Saturday, not eat them and have them on Sunday! (never worked yet) Donuts are awesome! Donut lady is very nice and always throws in an extra donut. Cake donuts are very good, the rainbow sprinkle ones are my fave. They put a ton of chocolate or maple on the raised donuts and bars too! Had the elusive blueberry donut ONCE and it was epic. Hard to find, but worth it. CASH ONLY!!!!!!! read more

Came here at 8am on Monday and found out a lot of people come really early (it opens at 5am)! I savored their last blueberry donut and a dozen donut holes (tasted like cake pops). The owner let me know that I could call ahead of time and she will set aside donuts for me. read more

Savoy Donuts - Get there early - they are often sold out by 8:30 am! - Donuts Near Me - Escondido, California

This is such a good donut place! But anytime I actually have a day off to go here or time in the morning, they have some reason they are closed. Bummer. Went this morning at 6:45 to suprise the kids at home who just got back from a trip.... it's Monday and they are closed despite their hours of business showing 5-12. So are they sold out earlier? I give 3 stars to this donut elite. They have donuts worthy of taking out Peterson's donuts. So if you are lucky enough to try some of their best batch donuts I recommend. But beware, you may be wasting your time if you count on them being open regularly. read more

Ever since I first started coming here a couple weeks back this place has really grown on me! Definitely the freshest donuts I've had, glad this is nearby Not to mention they ALWAYS give me an extra donut! read more

Big meeting last week walked into Savoy Donut shop. I needed a dozen donuts. It was 8:45am and there selection was very very limited. Eitherway i picked out the 12 donuts i wanted and walked over to pay. Bam no debit allowed? CASH ONLY! Wth is this not 2019? Imagine how many customers walk in with money in there checking account who use debit daily? All these customers who dont find the time to stop by an ATM to get cash. This is just horrible business practice in todays day and age. I wasn't the only customer in that line that day who was preparing to pay using there debit card. The other customer heard the guy say cash only and she looked at me and was like, "That's crazy!" 35 years ago i could understand but 2019 you need to have a debit reader for paying customers. If you don't want to take credit cards so be it, but debit comes directly from a checking account! Not at all good business etiquette! read more
