Donut Touch

This is my neighborhood donut place. Very good donuts and bagels and reasonably priced! The employees here are always so nice. They seem to be happy to work there and greet you with a smile. Red velvet donuts with cream cheese frosting are very good. Old fashioned buttermilks, good too. Overall a good value for quality donuts. I haven’t tried the coffee drinks there yet, but they look pretty good. I also want to try their sandwiches. I’m writing this here to remind myself to try the sandwiches lol.

A good local donut shop! Happy that this place opened. I don’t have to go too far for a good donut anymore. Live about 5 minutes away (easier drive than a 20 minute drive on the weekend). I am a total sucker for a good twisted glazed donut or old fashioned.

Have you ever had warm fresh baked donuts. They are to die for. I went in around 10:30 on a Wednesday and they had fresh donuts.
I used to go to the in Mira Mesa then moved away and would stop by to grab donuts if I was in the area. Then I would also stop by the Scripps Ranch location when I take my kids to doc appointments. And just recently heard of this location and it’s closer to me so it’s worth my 35 minute drive.

My kids love this place. Have to say so do we. I had an everything bagel here and it was so fresh. Best bagel I ever had. My son loves the bagel sandwiches and my daughter loves all the cool flavors of donuts. We have always had great service. Such a great break fromStarbucks.

We weren’t greeted as we came in. My daughter ordered a mocha frappé and the lady replied they only have blended coffee. The other guy behind the counter explained it was the same thing. Duh. As, she’s waiting for me to decide what I want, she starts rubbing her nasty eyeliner with her fingers. Both eyes! Then she had the nerve to touch my daughter’s bagel with her nasty hands. My daughter asked for a small, she charged me a medium. I asked for a large coffee, she gave me a medium cup. I corrected her. Lame. I’ll pay the extra $ 2 for better service at Starbucks next time 4 doors down.

The buzz cut lookin guy working here has a problem with men with nose rings. He let me know right away. Never ever coming back here.

This our our local donut spot… I would still come here regularly though even if it wasn’t! The donuts are so fluffy and so tasty and the selection of flavor a is HUGE! The staff is really friendly too!

I’m guessing 99% of people come here for the donuts, but I actually came for the bagels. I came late in the day and was a little bummed out that they only had one chocolate chip left, but I took the last one (plus some poppy seed bagels) and left happy.
Even though I didn’t get any, the donut selection was impressive and creative. I was pretty tempted to try one (which says a lot, because sweets do NOT do it for me) but ultimately decided to just stick with my bagels and try a donut another time. I say another time because I will definitely be coming back! They have a great selection, and the prices are completely reasonable. Plus, they have both indoor (somewhat limited) and outdoor seating. I can’t believe I’ve lived here all these years without trying this place out!

I went in this morning about 6:45, 45 minutes after they open. They didn’t have the specific donut my husband was craving. I was told it would not be ready for almost another hour. I left and told the guy I would come back later. I did return about 12:15 and they said they didn’t have any of the donuts we were looking for anymore. The woman was nice but very unapologetic. It’s ridiculous that they don’t have their donuts ready when they open and that the guy in the morning didn’t offer to save one for me when I went back with my husband.

Very good donuts but I wasn’t very impressed with the breakfast sandwiches. They were both quite expensive and the bagels weren’t that great. I’d focus on donuts and perhaps make some kind of crazy donut sandwich.

I love donuts and these are worth the calories! If I’m going to treat myself to a donut I go to Donut Touch. Hands down the best in San Diego. The places are spotless and yes I’ve had donuts and great sandwiches at all their locations. The staff and owners are awesome.
The donuts are always soft and fresh, never oily and overly sweet like some donut places. The glaze twist and a Vanilla Nut Coffee make for a great start to my day. I don’t live close to any location but I make it there once a week.

I’m generally not too hard to impress when it comes to donuts. Fried bread covered in sugar. Easy. Of course, I have my favorites and some places standout as making a superb donut, but most donuts are good enough. Sadly, Donut Touch just didn’t do it for me.
I don’t live close by, but I’ve seen it pop up on my
feed regularly enough that I knew I’d want to stop by if I was in the area. Today was the day.
I was underwhelmed right off the bat by the lack of donut variety. It was 9am on a Friday, which yes, isn’t early, but is still breakfast time and should be well stocked, I’d expect. All they had were donut holes, glazed rounds, chocolate rounds, sugar rounds, and maple bars. No cake donuts, which was weird to me.
We got a glazed, chocolate, and a maple bar. I had ½ the glazed and ½ the chocolate. The size of the donuts were big, bigger than other shops, and they were warm, which was great. But the first bite of each was just immediately was off — the donuts were super oily and greasy and the flavor was just alright. Maple bars are one of my favorites and I didn’t even attempt to eat it until several hours later and even then I just had a bite and still felt like it was too heavy. After I had the first donuts, I kind of just felt icky all day — sluggish and no appetite.
I was pretty bummed about my Donut Touch experience. Maybe I went too late, maybe my expectations were too high, but I won’t be heading back that way anytime soon.

Donuts here are soft, fresh, and delicious! Service is friendly and fast :)
99 cents per donut
5.50 for 5 donuts
Came around 2pm on Saturday. The selection was still pretty decent at that time but they had ran out of the bear claws I wanted. Darnit! I chose a glazed donut instead — it was soft, fluffy, and had the perfect amount of glaze. Yumm. The donut tasted waaay better than my photo made it look.
I would definitely come back to try other donut flavors or pastries if I’m in the area since they also offer bagels and other breakfast sandwiches. There is coffee available as well!

It’s hard to make a bad donut, but Donut Touch makes an especially good donut! I didn’t understand how one donut could be better than the rest — but these ones really are.
I’ve had the all the donut hole flavors, and I have to say the cake donuts are a weakness of mine. They’re crispy on the outside but soft and fluffy on the inside! Both the chocolate and regular ones are good — but chocolate is a personal favorite.
They always have a large selection in the mornings, and the employees seem happy to be there. Line (if any) moves quickly, and donuts are being freshly made in the back. I think it’s important to note I haven’t tried anything but the donuts, but I think that’s what you should come here for!
The prices are a little higher than most donut shops, but I think it’s worth it. Besides, what’s a couple of extra dollars for higher quality donuts?

The donuts here are always so soft, fluffy, and fresh. My family likes to come here Sundays around noon and their selection is still pretty good by that time. Service is consistently nice and friendly. My favorite is the red velvet! I tried their unique jalapeño pepper donut just for fun, and it was surprisingly pretty good! Just the tiniest peppery taste but not enough to overwhelm any sweetness of the donut.
You know you can always judge a donut shop by their classic glazed donut, and their’s is on point. Fluffy and soft donuts come from high quality cake flour ;)

Holy moly! I come from a town known for its beloved, long-​standing donut shop where they make their donuts fresh daily (Mel-​O-​Cream donuts, look it up! :-)) so convincing me that a donut shop is worth going to more than once is a tough sell. That’s also the reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5, nothing can compete with Mel-​O-​Cream and their cream-​filled donuts. Not pudding, CREAM.
This place sure comes close. If it weren’t for that pesky tendency to gain weight we would be here every weekend!
The staff are friendly, super easy to chat with, and willing to give you recommendations if you just ask! :-) Alex is one of my favorites. It’s just my husband and I so we often get a half dozen and try a couple new donuts every time.
My husbands favorites include: bear claw, maple bacon, jelly-​filled, chocolate sprinkles, and glazed.
My favorites include: EVERYTHING.
Go early to find a bigger selection. And be patient, often the line is nearly out the door! That’s a GOOD sign ;-)

This is a great neighborhood donut shop. Donut Touch does not disappoint. I recommend going there early so you have your first pick of donuts and to avoid long lines. The maple bacon bar is always a favorite and tends to sell out fairly quickly.
Our favorites:
Maple Bacon Bar
Red velvet with cream cheese frosting
Blueberry
Old fashion
Toasted croissant egg and bacon sandwich
It’s all reasonably priced and the staff is friendly and very quick in taking your orders.

Great little donut shop.
Nice service, great selection, fair prices and fresh donuts.
I had the smores donut and it was great.
Nothing to complain about here.

We love this place. The owners are really lovely and even gave our puppy a dog treat. The donuts are ridiculously good. They even came out with 2 versions of red velvet donuts — glazed or cream cheese frosting. Um… and the GIANT donuts just made us laugh. They are just as soft, delicious as the regular sizes, but wow, HUGE! They have coupons through

We are fans of the Apple fritters –crunchy sweet goodness
Maple bars — so fresh and soft.
Red Velvet cream cheese frosting — dense and decadent
Cinnamon buns — special ones on Sunday

Came in twice in 1 morning. The first time we walked in the line was super long. I just wanted to see what they had in the case, but it was hard to even look with the people waiting in line. Sadly, at that time, they were out of donut holes. The wait was so long, we decided to leave.
After we grabbed a burrito next door, we decided to come back in to check out what was left. We walked in and there was only a couple in line. COOL, gave me time to actually look at what were in the cases.
We ordered a dozen donut holes for $ 2.25. Love these bite sized addicting sweet balls!!! I wish they had signs to tell you what each of the donuts are. I hate asking the person behind the counter to explain each donut.
The set up of the donut place is weird too. You walk in and basically you better know what you want or else you’ll hold up the line. The line is in front of the case so it’s hard to even see what you even want to order. Also, there was a long line but it appears that there was only 1 person helping the customers while I saw about a handful behind the counter doing who knows what. The lines got long during some times.
There are only about 4 tables and a couple of chairs in the corner. Although there were outdoor seating as well, just too hot on a sunny day. Good to buy a quick sweet treat if you don’t mind the wait!
