    Donuts
    Priscilla C.

    I normally come here for donuts, my oldest son loves them and they are sold at a great price. Today we tried some breakfast sandwiches and they were delicious. Bacon is super crispy and not greasy, the egg is cooked perfectly and the croissant was flaky and amazing. Definitely coming back to try more sandwiches. The service is always great, everyone is so nice and attentive. The place itself is clean and there's always a table available if you want to dine in.

    Gluten Free Glazed Donut. $2.99/each. Made fresh to order!
    Justine V.

    Finding a bakery that offers gluten-free donuts is always a challenge when you're sensitive to wheat, have Hashimoto's, or are living with celiac -- but thankfully, this little shop in Poway came through! It's conveniently on my route to work, which makes it an even bigger win. What I didn't realize (and wish I had!) is that their gluten-free donuts are made fresh to order. It took about 10 minutes for them to make mine -- which honestly, I didn't mind too much, but I knocked off one star only because that info isn't posted anywhere. If I'd known, I definitely would've called ahead. Price-wise, they're a bit higher at $2.99 each -- I grabbed three glazed, so it added up quicker than your average donut run. That said, they were totally worth it. Soft, moist, and flavorful -- honestly more like a slice of cake than a donut. Paired with an iced coffee, it's the perfect morning treat for anyone who's gluten-free but still misses that donut shop experience.

    Great Variety of Donut Options!

    Grabbed a vegan maple bar and some glazed twist donuts. They were delicious. I also got a cold brew and it was great. Service was friendly and efficient. The shop is neatly organized with indoor and outdoor seating. I loved seeing all their donut options and they have a great variety of vegan ones too!

    Grabbed some bagels for breakfast here. They were pretty good. I also ordered a bagel sandwich with eggs and sausage. Service was good too. Both people who helped me with my order and prepping the bagel sandwich were friendly and smiling.

    French Cruller
    Jenny L.

    Open really early at 5 is such a a plus! They have French Crullers! They had it dipped in strawberry, caramel, chocolate or plain. They are getting five stars as it had a nice crunchy exterior while still maintaining a soft pillowy interior. I was informed that not too many places will make Crullers due to the ingredients being expensive so I really appreciate them for making it. Service was totally friendly, to be greeted with a 'Good morning' before the sun is up!

    Good service and delicious donuts! They have vegan options. I tried a donut with chocolate, sprinkles, and a minion decorated twinkies in the middle. It was adorable and yummy. I'll definitely be going back to try more donuts.

    Always passed by this place but never stopped by. I was in the mood for donuts and from somewhere different. I've been sleeping apparently and I liked it so much that I went back the following week. On a Saturday afternoon they had full shelves of donuts. I love french cruller donuts and they always had them available. New to me are the buttermilk bars. A must try! I love donuts with a good crisp on the outside while soft inside. These donuts stayed fresh for days! Will try the sandwiches next time.

    Chocolate bar, glazed donut
    Maria K.

    Service is atrocious. I walked in 10 minutes before closing and there was no greeting, guy just looked ate so I asked if there were still any donuts left. He replied, "whatever we have left is what there is". Ok... There were plenty, so I chose 2. Then I asked the price and he just pointed at the board, "$1.98 each". At that point, I knew I'd never return. Tell me you hate clients without telling me you hate clients.

    The best

    Nestled in between a Big 5 and POWAY Sushi lounge, Donutopolis is a hidden gym. Unique donuts like Oreo donuts and fruit loop donuts, there is something for everyone. Parking: plenty for everyone Popularity: get here before 8am or you will wait in line for 10 minutes.

    Italian sandwich
    Checkin I.

    Delizioso! The Italian sandwich was a perfect blend of flavors with fresh ingredients and hearty meats. The combination of prosciutto, salami, provolone cheese, and pepperoncini peppers was simply amazing. Buonissimo!

    I have a kid with allergies to dairy, eggs, nuts. Are the vegan donuts completely free of those ingredients (including cashew milk)?

    I would just give them a call. The manager or owner is there every day and very knowledgeable, polite, and understanding. I'm sure he'd answer your questions over the phone.

    Are gluten free donuts fried in a common fryer?

    No, they are baked on site and they are VERY conscious about cross contamination. They are soooo good!!!

    Any gluten free options?

    Yes we have gluten-free donuts and muffins

    Does this business offer vegan donuts?

    Yes

The woman who assisted me was very polite and fast, and they were not busy at the time i went, which was about 6am. i do think the prices are a bit high, and there are definitely cheaper places, but the doughnuts are fresh and taste delicious. It can be dangerous because they are so fluffy, and light, and easy to eat! They often have coupons or specials,so that does help. Every so often they will have specialty donuts, most recently they had Peanuts donuts. They usually cost a little extra, and some of them aren't always executed well, as they can be too sweet with all of the additions. However they are always fun to get, and i just try to get the ones that don't have weird fillings. My go to though is still the regular glazed, and when it comes to those, ive honestly not had a better tasting one.

    This is a small but cute donut shop in the big lot by Target in Poway…read more These doughnuts are really fun if you're looking for something different (but don't expect super airy and bread-like doughnuts) they are chewy, but that's what makes them fun! I thought they tasted pretty good the next day too (as opposed to typical donuts that really need to be eaten as soon as possible.) I really enjoyed the mango icing on mine and would definitely get more of these again. I look forward to trying the ube and some of the more unique flavors they offer. This place is definitely a potentially fun dessert stop to try with friends. Something good to grab and go (not much seating inside if you're wanting to sit).

My donut has a mochi like quality. Nice chew. "Toothsome" some might say... I'll save "mouthfeel" for other things. I decided to go passion fruit flavor because after the lemon it's my favorite fruit. I'm also missing my usual travels to SE Asia (soon I'll be going) and so thought it would nice to sneak a taste. Unfortunately, the flavor was more perfume like, and not actually tangy like a nice passionate fruit. I knew it was a risk but when you're hankering for some mochinut in your mouth, you apt to get a little wild choosing flavors. It's a bit more expensive than I thought at over $4 for one. Luckily my hot date paid, though I'm thinking he thought I was talking about something else when I explained my craving! I'd give it another try.
