Small shop located in a small shopping area in Mission Ave. Clean environment, and friendly staff.They have plenty of doughnut flavors to choose from. They have hot or cold coffee included blended kind. They have milk tea also. Breakfast and lunch sandwiches are available. A must visit doughnut shop.
Tan?s Donuts. I used to come here in the late 1980s and early 1990s when I was a college student. Snacking on a donut, black coffee, I?d sit at a table and review my class notes there once or twice a week. The original owners, Mr. & Mrs. Tan and their daughters, worked very hard and had an excellent product and reputation. I?ve recently dropped in after many years away. Three times in the last 10 days! Around noon or later in the afternoon. It?s still a nice donut shop. A little darker environment I think b
Delicious little donut corner shop. Donuts always fresh daily, and I always get a chai to to go with a box of dozen End up spending about $30 on a dozen and the tea but totally worth it as a treat.
My favorite donuts by far and not just in Oceanside! Friendly staff and very clean. My daughters and I have been coming here for many years. The only downfall is they aren?t on Uber eats or DoorDash for delivery!
Fresh, great tasting, and good selection. Always stop in for donuts when my husband and son go next door to get their hair cut.
Greasiest donuts I?ve ever eaten. There were a man and woman working there.. Both of them were rude. Neither of them responded to the compliments. I gave them regarding their donuts being very well organized.. I got a dozen donuts. I wanted 2 cinnamon rolls, and 2 apple fritters along with eight other donuts. I knew that apple fritters and cinnamon rolls were premium donuts and expected to pay the difference between a standard doughnut and a premium donut. They charged me full price for a dozen plus $10
Went here after living out of state for so long. Loved their donuts as a child and had to come back as an adult. I love their fresh donuts and you can taste the Cinnamon on their Cinnamon twist. ???? such good donuts made fresh daily. I have never had one I didnt like.
I love this place for a quiet, relaxing morning. Coffee always warm with a tasty sweet treat on the side. Service is always on point ,ladies are the kindest . They only take cash, but do have an atm in case you do not carry cash.
Ah old donuts so early one day before it was glazed donuts and the other day they decorated it with maple
Lovely donut shop with delicious, unique, and HUGE donuts! ???? The lady who helped us was very patient and kind!
The donuts are great and priced just right. The people are nice enough. Their English is just alright, but I?m there for donuts, not to make friends. My son loves the taro shake.
I remember coming to this donut shop as a kid while I waited for my dad to finish up with his haircut at the barbershop next door. The chocolate donut with coconut shavings was my go-to and it was absolutely delicious. The owners seen super friendly and I absolutely plan on coming back to this wonderful shop. I?m wishing the owners very well!
I?m sure I?m in the minority opinion but in 2023 what business is still cash only? Secondly, I asked for 1 dozen assorted. When it was rang up, I was charged $16.99 when it was posted $15.99. When I questioned this, I was told be cause I had asked for a chocolate bar. Nope, I only asked for an assorted dozen. I know it?s only $1, which I would have tipped plus some, but the principle of the subtle rip-off is what angers me.
Best in the area. Super pleasant family. Clean. I don't go often but they remember me - Wow! They ask me about things important to me. Very personable people. The Thai tea boba tea is fabulous! Best apple fritters around. My husband love apple fritters. Won't eat them elsewhere. Flavors are right on.
Great customer service, great options. Clean and maintained. Conveniently next to a secondhand store, whose benefits go to domestic violence survivors, a flower shop, and a barber shop. This place is better than yumyums up the street.
Love this place. Owners get to know their customers and are super nice family. Their donuts are better than any other place around. We have lots of shops around. We drive farther to Tans because their apple fritters are frickin' fantastic! These people put time and love into their business.
Tans is an amazing donut shop! I go there often for many years now. Family run business. Delicious donuts and baked good. Croissant sandwiches I love. Coffee milk soda can all be purchased. Parking can be hit or miss depending on the time.
I really like this place. Owner and his wife run the place, super nice, very clean. Excellent choice of donuts. Prices are reasonable. I also enjoy their coffee, and they have several flavors of creamers. Easy, pleasant, good place.
The donuts were pretty good but there was a small selection at the time I went in
Best donuts ever! Been coming here for 24 years. Apple Fritter is decadent. Crunchy on the edges and melt in your mouth in the middle. And the ham and cheese croissants...don't get me started, seriously the best I've ever had. Go to Tan's, you won't be disappointed. 5 Stars for real!
Best donuts! You can tell it's a great shop if their plain glaze donut is delicious. I've been coming here for about 20 years and have never been disappointed. I wonder how old this place is? Don't forget it's cash only.
Pretty good donuts. Not the best on Earth, but solid donuts. Great variety, with good flavor. Donuts were fresh and well stocked late in the morning. I would have to give Tans Donuts a solid 4 stars.
Fresh and delicious. More than just donuts.
This place has smoothies with boba! Many flavors, made fresh. Donuts here are very good. Only one issue, be warned Tan's is cash only.
Tans donuts has been my favorite for years. I?ve tried other places and none of them live up to the quality! I moved and I still drive the extra miles to come here
Love this place. Great sandwiches, donuts and drinks. Whenever I'm in Oceanside I have to make a trip here. Cash only is the only downside but amazing food for the price. The croissants are the best ??
Stopped here on my.way to work. Waaayy better than yum yums .
Place is okay, caught off guard that they only accept cash. They have an ATM inside but it's one that's fairly old and skethy to use by means of its hidden behind a vending machine and a hacker could put a card reader on it without the knowledge of owners. I was there by 10 45AM on a Sunday and their selection of donuts was limited. Couldn't get a glazed donut of all simple donut shops should have. I will give it another chance based on location and prices but to all that read. Be there before 10am and have
Been getting my donuts here since elementary school. Our bus driver would bribe us with Tan's to keep us in line. Just order 1 of everything. You might get diabetes, but you won't regret it.
We stop in weekly after my kid's Muay Thai a couple doors down. Absolute sweetest staff, always plenty for them to choose from, even well into the evening, and the cash has never been an issue for us. They DO only accept cash, but, as mentioned, there is an ATM. We have just learned to have cash handy in case the kiddos want doughnuts. I usually get them a dozen, they last the four of them a week, and often we snag an extra dozen for the guards at the gate of Camp Pendleton! They seem to love them, too! Not
Their breakfast croissants are really good. Best plain glazed donuts I tried anywhere in Cali. They have a big selection, I just love plain glazed in general.
This place is awesome ! I come here almost every day before work to snag a coffee! The people are really nice and the food is stellar ! Def try there Croissants there so darn good!
Absolutely fantastic donuts. Consistent quality and great customer service. Unfortunately Tan's is CASH ONLY! They do have an ATM available, for a small fee.
We have tried 5 other donut shops in the oceanside area and Tan's are by far the best! Donuts are light and fluffy and they have good variety. Price is good too!
In a world awash with terrible things, and a whirlwind of chaos, Tan's Donuts stands like a firm rock and offers you the sweet succulence that you have been lacking. A life without donuts is no life at all.
Nice donut shop. Also has breakfast sandwiches, boba milk drinks, variety of refrigerated can/bottle drinks. Good prices. Very clean inside.
Loved Tans donuts 25 years ago. Finally made it back to the area and so happy to find Tans still open and in the same location. Even!
Went here because I was tired of Dunkin. I have a new donut place! It's a lot farther from me than Dunkin, but well worth the drive.
Great way to start the day and my family started over 20 years ago. Love this place
They don?t accept card and don?t have many drinks ? the owner is really weird and shady , the owner also likes to be petty , just like how she responded with a smart comment to my criticism
Not the best and for sure not the worst. The donuts are not as oily as many other locations. We will be going back.
Huge selection and great prices. Cash only but they have an atm if needed. Best donuts in Oceanside.
Awesome donuts are light and delicious. The shop is super clean.
This place is always awesome! Prices are great, the people are always so nice and the donut selection is ALWAYS full and fresh!
Cash only...remember that. They have a atm in store 1.80 for withdrawals. Just saying bring cash! Great donuts!!
Delicious croissants and glazed donuts. Really delicious!! So glad I gave this place a try!
Great Donuts, cash only, be aware that they do not include filled donuts in the mixed dozen price
Good, old-time SoCal donut shop. Nice ladies, good donuts, good coffee.
Donuts taste a day old.
Delicious donuts. . .my personal favorite. Nice friendly people.
Super great donuts. Bring cash!
The pastries are reasonably priced, but the quality has been only marginal since the original owners retired.
Best doughnuts in Oceanside! Make sure you bring cash though. No cards accepted.
Donuts are fresh and delicious. Only downside is no card accepted. Just cash but worth it
Great donuts, best in town. Being here for years, the owner is very cool.
Best doughnut place on West coast... ...including Portland. If you know Portland then you know how exceptional this place is.
Kids Love it, they have Balboa tea and the Ham and Cheese croissant are pretty good.
