Holy Moly! Sourdough and Brioche Doughnuts, you can't go wrong with those! I picked up and sourdough cinnamon twist and a cup of coffee. The twist was terrific. My favorite part was the texture. It was soft, but had a nice slight pull and a great chew. The sugar and cinnamon levels were just right. I just had to try the savory parmesan and salami doughnut holes. I just had to. It was a great choice. It was even better than the twist. It was super soft, butter, ans packed with parmesan cheese flavor. It's a winner! The artisan sourdough brioche doughnut shop offers inside and outside seating. Hot coffee and cold brew are available. They are really nice people here. read more

An interesting business name as I think the owners wanted to do a word play on the fact that their signature product is an organic sourdough brioche donut. Sourpuss Donuts is the latest tenant in this Mission Beach suite that has mainly operated as a taqueria or bar and grill over the years. Because it's located so close to Belmont Park, parking in one of the common lots and walking over is easier than trying to find a curbside spot on Mission Blvd. The shop is closed on Tuesday and Wednesday. On the other days of the week, the closing time is 1:30 or when they sell out. I almost ran into that unfortunate situation during my visit as all of the daily inventory was nearly depleted. No individual donuts were left in the display cases at the service counter. The menu sheet listed three kinds of donut sandwiches and even one of those was unavailable. That left me with choosing the Donut BEC (Bacon, Egg, Cheese) Sando for my order. A plain sourdough donut was sliced in half and filled with scrambled egg, crispy bacon, raw milk cheddar cheese, and a special sauce. The dough was very soft and not too sweet which allowed the savory components to stand out. At $12, it was rather pricey. A single donut cost $6.50 so we are talking about premium pricing for a unique product. The donut flavors are regularly rotated with around four to six types sold daily based on the signs I saw on the empty display cases. Besides the sandwiches, the menu also offered three kinds of bowls and some sides. Beverages included coffee, chocolate milk, cider, cold brews, kombucha, and lemonade. Indoor seating was limited to one table and a bench near the front windows. The outdoor patio on the south end of the structure had more tables with canopies for shade. The best advice is to come early if you want an optimal variety of choices at Sourpuss Donuts. read more

Best donuts ever. I wish I had a photo to add but my son and I took one bite and finished them fast! I wish I bought more. Not only were they delicious, they left me satisfied without that heavy feeling. I think it's because they are made with sourdough and coconut oil. Try it and you'll see! read more

Staff was very nice and friendly. Try this place! I am gluten free (preference) and feel fine after eating my cinnamon twisty. read more

Delicious donuts made with fresh ingredients, I must be at Sourpuss Donuts. On this visit I tried four different flavored donuts and each one was incredibly tasty. The medium roast coffee was equally satisfying. This is a fairly new addition to the area offering small batch donuts, coffees, kombuchas and savory items for breakfast or lunch. Behind the counter there's a friendly smile from a staff member serving up your order. There's plenty of seating in the patio, store front or at a bistro table inside. Give your taste buds a treat and stop in at Sourpuss Donuts. read more

Friendly, laid back breakfast place! Best breakfast sammitch I ever had. I opted for egg, bacon cheddar with a slice o' avocado. It's the soft donut (unsweetened) brioche bun that makes it special! Not a huge variety of donuts, but something for every taste. Great way to start a vacay morning! read more

Sourpuss Donuts is the best donut spot in SD! From the farmers markets to brick and mortar, this is the spot! Also- they are the only sourdough donuts in the city. The texture is perfectly pillowy and flavor choices are creative and delicious. These donuts are made with 0 seed oils and the ingredients are fresh and high quality. Drive over ASAP and get yourself a box and head to the beach and stuff your face. The owners are wonderful people and this is a small business to truly support. read more

Sourpuss Donuts - Cinnamon Sugar Twisty and Brown Butter Maple Pecan Bar - Donuts Near Me - San Diego, California

The donuts are delicious! We especially loved the lemon one. Other family members raved about the maple pecan (I didn't try because I have an allergy.) They are so springy and the sourdough cuts the sweetness of the frosting. read more

Have I yet to tried their donuts because they always sell out before closing time, especially weekends. Come early if you can. Speaking for their burgers, it's the best burger I've tried when adding healthy ingredients into account. I got the Santa Fe burger. Organic sourdough brioche bun, grass fed patty, raw cheddar, chile, and beef tallow fries. The bun is so soft freshly made. I've tried a lot of good burgers in San Diego - the friendly, Hayes burger, Rocky's, tanners prime burgers, and vanmans. This place is top 5 for me. Will need to come earlier for their donuts before they sell out next time. read more

Wow! Such good donuts! Easy walk from the beach. Owners were amazing. Highly recommend stopping in for a donut!

I was in town for a conference and staying in a nearby hotel. I saw an advertisement for this place and had a perfect breakfast bowl, Cali breakfast, which was eggs, avocado, and cheddar over a bed of fries, and exactly what I needed. The coffee was amazing, and sitting on the deck, taking in the beach vibe, was so relaxing. The owners were on site, and you couldn't have asked for nicer, more accommodating people. I returned the next day to sample the donuts, which are sourdough brioche and extremely satisfying! I can't wait to return. read more

Donuts are the best ever, Foods delicious, owners are friendly. Space is lovely. What more would you want?

The donuts were very good and the place just has that vibe that every donut place should have and all donuts came fresh and everything was made the day of but the only reason why I didn't give a 5 star because the price is insane like 6.50 just for a little cinnamon twist CRAZY but the people were very nice and they will always greet you with respect so the service was good read more
