Customer Reviews

The service was friendly and quick. She made us feel like regulars. And the donuts were fresh and soft, melt in your mouth delicious. The ham and cheese croissants were also AMAZING. Yum!!

I went in to the donut shop and was greeted with such kindness. She was so friendly and the donuts are so good! They are fresh and fluffy and this place is a great place to get donuts :)

My normal donut shop was closed and I just had to have an apple fritter...I'm sure you understand. So this place came up as close by and I headed there immediately. The staff was super friendly and the apple fritter was great! When...I got back to my car and noticed a free donut hole in the bag! That is the best way to start your day!

Lady behind the counter was so rude and dismissive like I was bothering her. Pretty sure it was the owner. I walked out

Worst donut buying experience of my life! I went there today with my son and two of his friends for a post sleepover morning treat. I was buying a dozen and a half and letting each kid pick 3, then I was picking the rest for more kids joining us later. The lady helping us was listening to the kids and picking the donut they were pointing to when another lady came out of the back grabbed the donut box out of her hand and started putting random donuts in the box. I was confused and asked how many donuts were

Decent donuts. Dont ask for a dozen unless you want half of them to be their worst selling donuts. Better off going somewhere you can pick what you pay for

Close to the grandkids house for a Saturday morning treat. Easy parking with a decent selection of donuts. We ordered a dozen mixed and added dozen donut holes as well. Kids enjoyed the sprinkles and jelly donuts. The donut holes disappeared quickly right before our eyes. Cost is about the same as other shops and service was great. Oceanside Donuts will be part of our rotation moving forward when we bring treats for the grandkids. Easy 4 stars.

Worst donut shop ever, the place is nasty, I was standing looking at the donuts to see which one I like, she said I had enough time after being there for 1 minute, sweat was falling from her face donuts ?? on the floor in the back health department need to come there it's time for another inspection. I would never invite my friends or family here

So friendly, and the doughnuts are perfect. Always fresh, and so fluffy. Our favorite doughnut spot.

My wife and I love the chocolate old fashion. If they're out of them she always goes out of her way and makes fresh ones. Great family owned and operated.

I have been going here for some time now. Always the best donuts around.

I've gone to this place at least 10 times and prices seem to fluctuate every single time. They try so hard at selling you as much as they can... After you order the favorite line is "and what else...". Today i want in and the guy forgot one of my donuts (he's always screwing up orders) i went back inside to tell him and he started arguing with me about it. They obviously don't care about the customer... You've been warned!!! I will not go here again. Donuts are just okay by the way (nothing special).

The customer service was phenomenal! The lady that helped us was so nice. When we asked is she had filled donuts she ran and filled one for us. My son and I wanted to split two diffrent danishes. She overheard and cut and warmed them for us! They were super yummy. I will for sure be stopping there again when I come back to oceanside.

Above and beyond and delicious! My daughter wanted donuts instead of a birthday cake. O'side was out of bavarian cream, lemon, and raspberry filled, her favorites. They generously offered to fill the glazed, unfilled donuts for me so that my girl could have what she wanted. Who does that?! I love these folks! This is MY donut shop forever!!

I absolutely love this donut shop, I will always drive across city for these donuts !! I've gone here since I was a kid , well I should say my mom use to get these donuts for us . The family that run this shop are awesome, very friendly and welcoming. ?? I definately recommend and prefer this place still to this day .

The owners here were absolutely lovely to us over the course of a couple of orders over a couple of days, and the donuts were INCREDIBLE. Cannot recommmend highly enough!

In my search for the best jalape?o ham and cheese croissant in oceanside, this has been the best I've found so far. Always my go-to spot for donuts! The owner is always super friendly too!

I came here because someone at work brought these donuts in and they were so fresh and delicious! I had to come here myself. Now I can?t get enough!!!! The customer service is the best anywhere! I highly recommend this place!!!

Best Donuts in Oceanside - the staff is friendly and kind. Always happy to serve and custom make my order if needed. I LOVE my maple filled bar they make. Definitely a returning customer!

My husband and I came to the area late last night to do laundry. We were walking around the area for the first time. We walked by this place and looked inside. I could see croissants. I love croissants! So I decided to go in. We walked out with 2 cinnamon rolls, 2 croissants, 1 ham and jalape?o, and donut holes for around $10. We loved everything! Felt like we were back to the days where everything was freshly made again.

Went today after many years wow. I use to go there as a kid. Always ordered a bear claw because I was only allowed one donut, and that was the biggest one. Well today I went out of my way to pick up some for work. And the owner recongized me and gave me my usual bear claw. Thanks that made my day. ??

Best Donut shop in town. Family owned and very friendly! They treat you right and have great donuts! Support this place!!!

I like the donuts here but the lady charged me 14$ for half dozen donuts. I?m not an expert but 14$ for half is over priced. That price is for a full dozen. Felt rushed and pushed to buy a dozen.

Had a Maple Bar today that was INCREDIBLE!! Better than Mary's in Santee.

One of my fav places to get my cholesterol levels up. The owners are the nicest people, my child and there's are classmates. Supporting our local businesses means we support our neighbors and friends.

Donuts are amazing! They are delicious and always fresh. Best donuts I've had anywhere in the North County, San diego area. Staff is super friendly.

I love the lady here. She's so sweet and they have amazing donuts. She's the only lady I'll buy donuts from!

Ahhh sweet deep fried confections, apple chunks and cinnamon covered with confectioners glaze to last you all day happiness. Translation: The best Apple Fritters in town!

Donuts were delicious and tasted very fresh but there were quite a few flies inside donut case that made me not even want to buy any. Staff was very friendly.
