Customer Reviews

My favorite classic donut shop! It's a small family owned shop that makes the most amazing apple fritters. Baked perfectly, they are soft on the inside, right consistency on the outside, and crispy on the edges. Delicious! Large portions and good prices. Definitely a must try, and I highly recommend the apple fritters.

Finally a donut I can enjoy. Every place makes donuts ultra sweet, which makes me thirsty and diabetic halfway. But I tried the chocolate donut here, and it was the glaze that was sweet. The rest was very mild, and enjoyable. The bigger the glaze, more sweet it is. Also he was kind enough to throw some donut holes in the bag. They have ice cream too.

Amazing donuts! Run by the sweetest lady. Highly recommend!

Best donut place ever!!!! I?ve never had donuts that taste sooo fresh early in the morning

Great price, great service, friendly when not overly busy. BIG yummy donuts. I won't go anywhere else. I love the fresh, custard filled ones. ??

This place was awesome. The lady was super friendly and such a joy and the donuts tasted great with such amazing prices. If I lived here I?d be coming all the time.

Amazing breakfast baked goods. Best croissants I have had in a long while. Nice and large too. Donuts were excellent. Completely worth the trip here. Visited 2x during our week stay.

Best donuts I?ve had since moving to California. The maple donut is so good! Not too sweet, soft and fluffy cloud of goodness! If you?re in BP, you have to stop and get some donuts here. The lady who runs the place is a sweetheart. I?m going back again today. ????

Yay, good donuts, fritters, and coffee! You have to try the breakfast croissants! It's soft and buttery, and you can get eggs, cheese, bacon, ham, sausage, and jalape?os in between the best breakfast sandwich you will ever eat! Oh, and I love the price and service! ??

Mary family lady always as customers how their day is going and on top of that the donuts are not very airy inside a nice good doughnut not overly sugary

I'm not sure why this place got such good reviews, I wasn't impressed at all. The donuts are marginal (not much better than what you can buy at a grocery store) and the place looked very old and dirty. The ice cream tubs looked very old, like they had been melted and re frozen more than a couple times. The frozen yogurt was just a McDonalds type soft serve pump and had two flavors. I don't recommend going out of your way for this place.

I stopped by on my way to work for a quick bite to eat. The main woman who works there is SO sweet! She is so happy and has great customer service! The bagel I ordered was delicious and fresh! Thry have a huge selection of doughnuts as well! Thank you Plaza doughnuts for starting my morning off right!

Great stuff I shouldn't be eating. But a little dish of ice cream can't hurt, right? A donut? Who's going to know? Really, the donuts are very fresh, and they have ice cream, great ice coffee drinks, and other stuff, served by the nicest lady. Can't say enough good stuff about this place... recommended!

This place is a hidden gem! I love their donuts! Made fresh everyday! You want cream custard in it? She would say "surrrreee!" with a big smile. Where else can you get great donut and wonderful customer service?

Donuts were perfect & fresh! Theres a large selection of Donuts so you'll definitely find one u like. I promised myself to eat half a donut but I ate 1 & 1/2 haha!

Better than Rose donuts in every way. Takes CC! Better service. Great coffee. Specialty drinks too. Froyo! Bobo tea. Great breakfast sandwiches. They care about your business! Love this place.

Great donuts at super reasonable prices, get the apple fritter and the glazed! Owner is very nice and friendly

By far the best donuts in San Diego if no further. You won't believe the size of them. The owner is a charm. Sweetness at its best.

I've had better donuts at Vons. The guy working tonight looked as if he'd rather I didn't come in. I only went here because Rose donuts was closed for renovations. I'll go to Vons next time.

Always excellent customer service with a smile for inexpensive, delicious donuts! Love our local shop! Will never buy from the big guys again!

Maybe the best donuts I've had, and at a surprisingly good price. Not too sweet on the inside (which is a good thing) and great texture.

Good donuts at reasonable prices. Not overly sweet like most tend to be, definitely a nice change of pace. Will be back for more.

Great donuts, yummy drinks (I love the coffee drinks), yummy frozen Yogurt, great customer service. My favorite local donut location

Old school donut shop ran by a sweet Asian lady. BTW their secret menu is off the chain. Maple bacon bars and chocolate frosted cinnamon rolls.FTW

Excellent service. Great Donuts and Coffee Chan is the owner for 25 years and really cares about her customers.

I'm very disappointed since I am often sold two or three day old bread muffins

Service was nice, prices good, but my order was wrong. Did not know until I got to my destination. Could not eat due to wrong order/allergies.
