Customer Reviews

Small mom & pop shop for donuts, sandwiches and coffee They open at 4 AM! I bought some Cronuts after my son recommended them. And indeed they were delicious ?? We also had the jalapeno ham & cheese croissants that were perfect. A nice kick from the jalapenos. Customer service was very friendly and helpful, explaining their various pastries. Will definitely go back! Oh and they take cash or card. $0.50 extra fee for card payment

Beautiful donuts. Just the best. Trust me I?d know. The sausage and jalape?o croissant is the best thing on the menu, No discussion. Frankly I don?t think there?s a better donut shop in all of socal. In fact it might just be the best across the entire continental United States.

I got two standards, one a buttermilk old fashioned, and the other a Boston creme. The old fashioned was quite excellent. Well made, but with a bit more icing than desired, but we are very occasional donut partisans, so we're not used to too much sugar. The Boston creme was disappointing. There really wasn't much filling involved, which is the whole point of the donut for me. Bready and boring.

Always stop here for delicious fronts, taste like cake. Silvia is the sweetest person ever.

My hubby found this amazing asian owned donut shop that has awesome breakfast sandwiches. My favorite is the bacon egg & cheese on a homemade Cresent. 10 stars for its presentation.

Fantastic donut shop! I remember coming here when I was younger and it?s still just as amazing now. The donuts are warm and delicious, the iced coffee is homemade AND they take debit/credit cards now (beware there is a $10 minimum though.) I?ll be back again soon!

This place makes really good donuts. My favorite food there though is their ham and cheese croissant with jalape?o. If I?m in the area I stop in.

Amazing donuts & ham-cheese croissants. Very nice gentleman working too.

best doughnuts ?? friendly service and best ever

Had good bagel sandwich with some orange juice at a good price

SUPPORT LOCAL SMALL BUSINESS! This is genuinely my favorite donut shop in Oceanside. The donuts are always fresh, not greasy, and taste incredible. The staff is always patient, kind, and helpful. I read through the negative comments and have never experienced what the 1 Star reviews complain about, and I have been going here for the past decade. Try this place for your self, you wont be disappointed!

This is only pertains to the apple fritters in the store on September 8, 2024. Perhaps the fritters were fried too long because they were flat, like thick pancakes. Again, this review is only in regards to the apple fritters.

I placed my online order with the Door Dash App on my Apple IPhone XR on Friday, April 28, 2023 but my order for these Assorted Donuts was delivered to me at 4:40 a.m. today by Nathaniel my Dasher driver. I ordered a total of 7 Donuts. One Strawberry and cream cheese Croissant. The price was $3.85. Two Chocolate Cake with Blue Sprinkles Donuts. The total price was $3.18. Two Cherry Frosted Plain Cake Donuts. The total price was $3.18. Two Coconut Flakes Vanilla Frosting Cake Donuts. The price was $3.18

I'm an apple fritter connoisseur, and this place has some good ones! They're light and crunchie with a sweet apple and glaze taste. And under $3!

This is a little shop with a handful of seats. Parking is easy as is the entrance/exit off the main road. We got there at 6:30am. The Apple Fritters were still warm. I have to say they're among the best I've ever had. Next time I want a fritter, I'll be sure to arrive early!

Had donuts here for the first time this morning the lady working the counter was very kind! She told me some of the best things to try, and I chose some too. The donuts were light and fluffy and so were the stuffed croissants. The glazes were very tasty as well! Definitely will be back again!

This place is amazing. I usually have large orders so I call ahead but they ALWAYS have them waiting for me when I get there no matter how busy they are. We buy them for the office and our patients are always so gracious for that. Donuts are always fresh and the staff is more than friendly. Only thing that would be better is if they could somehow deliver them to me lol. :D

Love love love this place! I live in Wisconsin so while I'm in California I try and go as often as possible! They have the best donuts ever and great coffee and awesome prices! I highly recommend K-Donuts (:

K-donuts are absolutely delicious! Too bad they are loaded with so much sugar and calories! If I limit myself to only a couple times a week, it's OK though. Sure love those donuts!

This place needs to get with the times. They still have an ATM machine inside their store and only accept cash. The ice cream lady that travels in her ice cream truck takes credit cards/debt cards. The entire world takes debt except for this place. Every other donut shop in America takes debt cards, but not these people. They have no idea how more much money they would make if they actually took debt cards. Stop making me and others pay 3$ in fees just to eat your donuts. Worth is I guess if you have cash,

K-Donut is hands down the best donut place there is!!! The people are great and the donuts are amazing!!!! Its also really nice how they have been taking card for these past few years!!!

Nice local donut stop. People are so friendly. Donuts are tasty and fresh.

Quick, abd friendly service. You can get hot donuts depending on your time because they cook their donuts throughout the morning. Their donuts is delicious!

Excellent donuts! I'm an East Coaster and I've had the original Cronut. This was better! Very good glazed donuts too! Run, don't walk!

Nice employees, good donuts and perfect apple fritters. Minus 1 star for being cash only, they do have an atm inside but I don't want an extra bank fee for a donut.

The best donuts I?ve ever had! So fresh.

First time and last time going to this place. The lady behind the counter was rude. No smile No coustmer service at all. I was the one saying hello. So as I was ordering there was flies all over the doughnuts. So nasty. I walked out of there never returning.

Friendly service. Yummy pastries with a huge selection made fresh every morning. This is the only place I have found raised doughnut holes sold by the dozen.??

Best tasting doughnuts friendly employees. Just bring cash atm fee if you need topull out money but i m prepared their doughnuts are worth it. Cronuts are amazingly delicious ??

Best donuts by far, ive come here since i was a kid and they're always consistently amazing, prices stay affordable and quality stays high. This is the place i recommend to anyone looking for a donut shop, its Oceansides donut spot imo.

They have the best donuts in Oceanside!! They accept debit and credit cards now as well.

My kids used to go to K-donut all the time years ago. We finally came back and recently and they still have the same delicious donuts.

So here's the thing.. I'm not usually big on sweets. This was my first time tasting cronuts and I have to say they are so good ... They should be illegal !!

So delicious! Got myself a warm cronut and it was INCREDIBLE!

Great breakfast sandwiches

The donuts are delightful but it is a struggle getting in and out in less than 25 minutes. You have to have to cash and they have a ATM but it costs money to get money and their service is horrible.

This place has the best donuts I have ever had!

Best donuts ever, friendly staff, great coffee. I wish they stayed open all day, maybe til 3 pm at least.

Great donuts! The best I've found in Oside yet

These are the freshest non greasy most delicious donuts anywhere within 50 miles Todd

Small place and only take cash. You'll have to pay an atm fee if you don't carry cash like most people. However. Good selection.

Donuts are delicious?? but customer service is bad, the lady is always in a bad mood for some reason my change is always short with $1. Count your change before you leave.??

this place is disgusting , bad service !!!! I found a hair partical inside a donut , I wanted my money back or a new one and worker started yelling at me telling me they were going to call the police and made racial comments !!! over a hair ??I asked to speak to the manager and refused to call the manager i wonder if the fda approves of this !!!!! I will never go back disgusting donuts disgusting service RUDE employees all this drama for a DONUT !!!!!!!!

Whenever I visit my family in California I can't NOT stop here. The donuts are excellent.

Who doesn't like a donut shop? When I was working I would stop there every day for a glazed twist. It was early in the morning but they are there early in the morning.

The donuts and danishes were so good! The service was great and the two ladies working were very sweet.

Great family operated donut shop that's been our family's go to place for excellent donuts for years.

Best doughnuts in town but show up early before they are gone!

Poor business practice!!! Drive there and it was closed until August 18th according to the sign on the door. The business should update their hours.

Always a good costumers service we love Donuts from there all the time!

I love the donuts here! So warm, squishy and delicious.

Best donuts you'll find in North County! Always fresh and never greasy or oily.

First time going to this Donut Shop and I was very Impressed, great Service and very fresh Donuts, also great Location. Thank you

Great local donut shop. Hand made donuts, much better than the chain shops.

K Donuts makes the best Apple Fritters I have ever eaten.

My favorite spot for donuts ????. The donuts have a light and slightly crunchy consistency that make my mouth water ??

My Daughter and I have been coming here for years. We love this local business and will support them for years to come!

The people that go in there are very RUDE! Their atm is crap! Donuts are OK but they have no control over their customers.

Best donuts I've ever had. Always fresh.
