Customer Reviews

I just got donuts here just now and I'm sitting in the parking lot eating my first donut which is called taro. The best taro donut I have ever had on a donut!! I live South of Chula Vista but I'm gonna have to come here to get my taro donut.

There is nothing better than fresh made daily donuts. The size of these donuts are big and delicious. The price is better than those chain donut stores. When we got there there was only one person. By the time paid and got to our car, the line was outside! You can tell this is a go to for locals, which if its good for locals, its good for me.

Amazing family-owned bakery with delicious donuts! The bear claws and apple fritters are SO GOOD, made with real apples and reasonably priced! I will be coming back many times ?

First time here and wow! I?m the type to only eat a bite or two and give my donut away. But this place was amazing!!!!! The service was amazing and taste of the donuts was so different! Most places you can taste the oils used but this place was so different! Price was good too! Very cute family owned place I?m 100% coming back!

Great family owned donut shop. Daily fresh made fluffy and not super sweet donuts ??. Always a great vibe there too ?.

Out of all the donut places I've had, this is the best place! The donuts are traditional, good variety, not too sweet, and always freshly made. The service and atmosphere are wonderful and welcoming. (Know some people ding it because there's only a one way in door, but they should read the sign. Honestly, I love the change! As someone who used to work in a little shop, you shouldn't make acception to those who ignore a sign. Plus, it's easier to take customers if they're coming from one direction.)

Miss Donut has the best donuts around! They're always perfect! They're always fresh, soft, and have the perfect texture & flavors. I highly recommend them!

Quality 5 stars Customer service 5 stars Cleanliness 5 stars Cost 5 stars Access ability 4 stars I really like this place. The donuts are great and have a decent selection. They keep their shop very clean and the price is great. It's kind of difficult to see from the main road and it's a little difficult to park. Over all I give it a great review and I absolutely recommend coming here. Try it yourself today!

Very friendly family environment. Always like the sweet vibed ambiance. Donuts are delish & good prices. I love their coconut cake donut. I've had the taro cake donut but they don't always make it. My husband gets the donut holes. Sometimes they sell out early for the donut holes so it can be hit or miss.

Donuts are good but customer service is terrible. I will never be coming back. I had been coming to this place for about 6 months and then they recently decided to label the door I usually walk into as an exit. Since I come all the time I walked through the same door. Once I was inside there was no one else in line accept me and the person currently being waited on. Another person later walked in from the correct door and was met by a man who I had not seen there before. He started taking the other person's

One of the best donut shops I have been to. I grew up in the area, and when I go to visit I always go back. Highly recommend that everyone try it! Support local business.

If you are just visiting or live here and have never tried these donuts they are a little taste of heaven. My personal favorite is the apple fritter, which is by far the best I have ever had. I promise you will not be disappointed!

OMG! The ham and cheese croissant ?? is amazing! The donut holes are light and delicious. I am going here every time I'm in Spring Valley.

This little shop always has a good selection and the people are very nice. Just went there last week and got an assortment including a taro donut for myself, which most donut shops seem to not have. The woman was very patient while I picked out what I wanted.

I don't know what they do to make their donuts so good.

I'm not a donut lover, but they've got the best quality/effective coffee on ice!!! Strong to the taste, but ask for sweetness...helped me start my shift for work!!!

Been visiting this corner shop for 30 years and it's always been good, the new owners have just made it better. And the best people that they are they make it the best, service and atmosphere, and if the coffee don't warm you their smiles definitely will.

Best donuts in the community. They even have taro glazed donuts which is a rare find in any donut store. I usually grab as much of the taro glazed as I can since they run out fast.

Amazing! Always clean and friendly environment! The doughnuts are light and airy and not too sweet! They run out of the glazed doughnuts and doughnut holes really fast!

It was a donut shop and had a variety of donuts & drinks available for purchase.

One the most delicious donuts I've ever had! Their apple fritters are so scrumptious! The price is just right too!

Haven?t been here in a while but it?s probably our favorite shop in SD! Family owned and everything is amazing! ??
