    Variety.

    Guys. Why does the lemon filled one taste like chemical waste. Upon a second taste, it's clorox wipes or maybe fabuloso? The vanilla filled one tastes like the little yellow concord banana candies... the maple bar is good though, and the apple fritter is good but dry. Pink frosting was mid. Raspberry filled one is good I guess... Donuts themselves are kinda salty? Would not really recommend unless you're just getting a maple bar.

    New Cinnamon Roll

    Never misses. Just had the best cinnamon roll of my life. The cinnamon iced coffee and cinnamon hot coffee is soooo good. My go to coffee spot every morning. Yum yum indeed!!!!!!!!!

    Bought a dozen for my daughters birthday. They are up to $18.99/dozen now. Disappointed to say the least. They were all stale and the filling was pretty minimal and lame. Will find a new donut shop

    ALL the Stale donuts are in the showcase. All the fresh donuts are in the back on the rack. When I asked when are they gonna bring the fresh donuts out, their response was when all the stale donuts are gone. I won't mention the fact that I wanted the last chocolate vanilla filled donut only to find out when I got home it was not in the bag. My only reconciliation was that I was going to be able to drink my ice cold chocolate milk. It was actually room temperature. Kind of like coffee after it has been sitting through a long drawn out conversation. Here is a picture of our stale donut holes which is very comparison to the two working behind the counter.

    Yes, I like a good doughnut, and yes I think that buttermilk bars are my favorite kind to eat, so every time I stop by a new doughnut shop, I try one of theirs. In addition to the all the other doughnuts they carry (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/yum-yum-donuts-san-diego?select=WQX47G8W-hsfJKEWfNjTQQ#2zx3te3Z5sL2EZWcinRXhQ), they carried some longer than normal buttermilk bars, at least larger than I have encountered as of late. The bar was good and was heavily topped with a sugary maple topping that provided a great crust and flavor. (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/yum-yum-donuts-san-diego?select=WQX47G8W-hsfJKEWfNjTQQ#eCTWyMZuRcEkargRABTCUQ) The inside was a great buttery moist, a little sweet, and thicker than I expected in a good way. (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/yum-yum-donuts-san-diego?select=WQX47G8W-hsfJKEWfNjTQQ#C0d5nKELqI3sP2n5u6dFOQ) I really had no complaints with this buttermilk bar which was still quite fresh for the end of the day, but what I did find a little off putting was the lack luster service. The lady who served me seemed a little off put that I was there wanting to buy a doughnut. If the service would of been a little nicer, this would of been an easy four stars, but it was not, so three stars for now. A doughnut served with a smile can go a long way......I think it even makes the doughnut taste even better.

    I stop at yum yum donuts tonight to get a dozen of their donuts ( jamacha location ) for the kiddos but their were not fresh at all , we got some with the fruit filling and there almost nothing inside , definitely never going back ,

    I've been coming to this Yum Yum since I was a kid. The Donuts have always been fresh, coffee & Hot chocolate have always been good. The employees are all super friendly. Definitely five out of five stars

    These donuts have gotten more and more expensive over time and the quality has decreased. I would rather drive to Krispy Kreme.

There's a TV with games on for ones viewing pleasure and music playing lightly in the background. System all around here. Investing for customers and ample seating. They have a great selection of the variety of laborers to choose from coffees, smoothies, and they have matcha. This is going to be one of my new favorite spots when I wanna treat myself and I can't wait to try more or anything that they recommend from there!

When you see the entire store front packed with City Workers enjoying their meals...IT'S A MUST TO STOP AND TRY THEIR FOOD! That speaks volume in itself! I just love "MOM AND POP" locations! I believe this shop is a mother and son ran operation and they are an amazing duo dishing out amazing subs for reasonable prices! Watch out other sandwich chains out there cause Grove Grinder IS WHERE IT'S AT!!!! They have been in business since 1972...NUFF SAID! I ordered the Ann Special with everything on it. They do not skimp on meat and the proportion of bread to meat to veggie ratio is spot on! A full size sandwich is enough to feed two people easily or one very hungry person. I did not try any of their side items or large selection of root beer drink options to choose from but, I will be back many more times to try all they offer! Thank you Grove Grinder for amazing eats and allowing me to snap all my photos of your small shop for my review! If in Lemon Grove, show some love to Grove Grinder and grab you one of their amazing affordable, delicious subs...YOUR WELCOME IN ADVANCE!

    I'm a little heartbroken about this because I had a 5-star review drafted up for this place that…read moreread: "Grove Grinder is the GOAT of neighborhood sandwich shops. Over the years that I've been coming here, I've been pleasantly surprised to find that the quality, portion size, and price point has kept pace with inflation and remains the best sandwich option in East County." I'm certainly not the longest-running customer of this spot, but I have been coming to Grove Grinder ever since I moved to the area four years ago. I kept coming back, wrote rave reviews in San Diego food-related social media groups and threads, bugged food influencers about them, and sent many of my friends and family their direction because I was that big of a fan. My husband and I have taken these sandwiches on roadtrips and plane rides, grabbed them in the middle of household chores, and picked them up for each other when the other is too tired or sick to cook. The reason why I'm ultimately knocking this review back and heavily questioning whether I should return has to do with a disappointing experience from my last visit with my husband that we now think was part of a larger pattern. The past couple of times we saw this person at the register, we used my name for the order. This time, though, my husband gave his name instead and the person at the register gave him some attitude about it and asked "You're *really* going with that?" I don't understand what their problem was with his name, but both the person in the front and the staff in the back refused to use it. They called out everyone else's names (and they usually call out mine when I order) and we noticed that our sandwiches were looking skimpy compared to how stacked we know they can come. My husband uses a nickname that might not be the name he was given at birth, but is a name he has used for over 20 years and might as well be his "real," name. We don't want to make assumptions, but most of the staff has always been at least a little cold towards us at best, slightly rude at worst, and even though this experience might seem relatively small to some, it's ultimately the straw that broke the camel's back. We suspect that their distaste for us might be politically motivated. We know it can't be personal because we've been nothing but polite. It sucks, but it seems to be that if they perceive you to not be "their people," your money isn't as green at their establishment, even if it spends all the same. I loved this place and felt lucky that they're close to my house, but feeling disrespected and like the staff are trying to fire us as customers is enough motivation to take our business elsewhere.

    Private parking lot, 2 gender-neutral restrooms and space available for large groups…read more We drove down to La Mesa just to check out this place and it was worth it. We ordered the 'That's My Boy' and 'Meet Meat' pizza plus their fries. Their deep dishes were light and crispy. I loved the sweet sauce, jalapeño and ricotta cheese combo on That's My Boy pizza. The Mastiff Fries had a wonderful crispy texture. They are like thinly sliced potato wedges.

I had never had a smash burger before so again my expectations were a little more than the average person. They did not disappoint the flavors were so delicious. I especially enjoyed the garlic aioli more than I thought I would (it is more like a mayo for this burger). The burger came with a a handful of pickled peppers and mini pickles on side. They were good but felt a little out of place for my taste. This place is definitely more of a bar feel than I expected and smaller than I thought it would be, and the seating was tight with most all the tables being bar height. The last thing to keep in mind the parking lot is small but there is street parking, but is leads to residential area so it can be limited to. Overall the burger had good flavor and I will be back to try more on the menu. If you are looking for a beer with your burger there was a lot of choices. Also, if you are into sports, there are several televisions on with a few different events playing.

Chicken was grilled and diced, lettuce was crunchy and hatch chile tasted grilled and notably cold, came with Caesar dressing on the side.
