    Glazed Twist, Cinnamon Crumb, & Maple Bars
    Jemiah J.

    I've been coming to Danny's Donuts for years, and it's always worth the early stop at 8 AM. They sell out fast, and for good reason--their donuts are absolutely delicious! The service is always great and their storefront brings a comforting vibe. My favorites are the glazed twist, the vegan donuts, and the crumb donuts. This family-run shop is a true favorite.

    Food (5/5 stars): Danny's is a cute donut spot in downtown Vista! I'm excited to try all their specialty donuts Experience (5/5 stars): * Price: reasonable * Wait Time: the line can get long on Sunday mornings * Service: great and friendly * Parking: there are plenty of spaces nearby * Ambiance: it's an outdoor shop with some covered outdoor seating

    Bacon bagel sandwhich

    Been wanting to try this out since moving to Vista. We got the chorizo bagel sandwhich and the bacon bagel sandwhich which were both very enjoyable. I preferred the chorizo more but liked how both scrambled in the meat with the eggs. The jalapenos on them were a nice addition that I don't normally see. There was also a chipotle mayo which was good. Prices here are great and the donuts looked amazing. Will definitely return soon to try the donuts next time.

    The apple betty is like if an apple fritter and a cinnamon roll has an heinously delicious baby.

    Ask the Community - Danny's Donuts

    Are there any Vegan/vegetarian (eggless) donut options?

    Yes only on weekends!

    I see a concern was that Danny's is not very Covid protective.. are they wearing masks and gloves? Do they have protective plexiglass glass? We are in the age group that must be careful so don't want to take chances but would love some good donuts

    Was clean when I was there, and all were wearing masks and some had gloves that were near the food

Cinnamon roll - best Ive had out of all the ones I've had in CA and AZ. They do not cut corners and even use brown butter for their cinnamon sugar filling! Cruffins - fun to look at and fun to eat; can't go wrong with any of them! Cookies - white chocolate macadamia nut, chocolate chip, gluten-less chocolate cookies ... now these are cookies!

    Came on a Saturday noon, and it was not too busy. All the pastries were laid out for you to see and…read morethey all looked super yummy. The store is small and there's no seating. The pastries are definitely on the higher-priced side and we weren't too hungry, so we opted for the strawberry croissant since it was the last one left. I was hoping to try their cinnamon roll, as it looked amazing and had a selection of flavors to pick from. The lady who helped us was friendly and packed the croissant for me, and we took it to go. The strawberry croissant had some vanilla cream along with strawberry slices in the center cut of the croissant. The cream was nice, light, and not overly sweet, which tasted great with the strawberry. The croissant was a little disappointing, as it wasn't flaky, very dense, and on the softer side. It still had a good buttery flavor but overall it was mid. As we continued eating, I ended up chewing on something plasticky, and I believe it might have been the front cut of a plastic piping bag. I'm glad it was a fairly small piece or else I probably would have swallowed it...It is disappointing that a big piece of plastic ended up in the cream where no one had caught it during the process of making it.

Others have shared how stellar the customer service is, and we couldn't agree more. Sophia instantly made us feel at home and had us smiling and laughing with her the entire time we were there.

All of the donuts were super fresh, extremely fluffy, and so tasty, while the case and the rest of the shop was well maintained and clean...it's obvious a great amount of heart and care goes into their operation. We chose a variety of apple fritters, donut holes, old fashions, custard-filled, glazed, chocolate, maple, and a cinnamon crunch, cinnamon roll, and sugar twist donut along with a breakfast sandwich. Talk about choices! I mentioned to Sophia that I had a certain allergy and she immediately offered to special make a modified breakfast option for me without hesitation. We'll definitely be regulars moving forward - support local!

But we also tried their blueberry cake donuts, maple bars, glazed old fashions, and a few others and all were very soft, luscious, and just a perfect version of that type of donut.

I asked my son on his bougie donut, later in the day, and he did the so-so hand and gave it an ok and dry. At end: we will stick to SK for service and quality.
