I love places that have single employees, this time our beautiful Maria, who takes care of everything it seems. She always has a smile and she always knows exactly what I want and has it. It's all cash, but there's ATM inside so you can get a little cash as many as you can because she deserves it the product is fantastic. read more

Ordered a dozen donuts and she was nice to separate them into two boxes. Super nice lady, always helpful and definitely knows her regulars orders. Cash only, I love that it's a regular donut shop, no pizzazz, no non-sense, just a good old fashion donut! Inside is clean and has seating. Next time I want to try one of the drinks on the wall. read more

Encinitas Donut House - Glazed and chocolate are fluffy and so delicious. Donut holes are a must. - Donuts Near Me - Encinitas, California

We went at 10:45 AM on the weekday. The donut case was about 3/4 full with many varieties. I chose a chocolate covered, raised and glazed twist. They were both exceptional. And fresh they close at 2 o'clock. I'm truly surprised that the donuts were this fresh at 11 o'clock in the morning. The man behind the counter, I believe was the owner. He was very gracious. I'll definitely be back. They open at 4 AM read more

Fresh delicious and a family owned business! We love the flavor and prices of these donuts. read more

Went in Monday morning, 7/14, at 9am. About a dozen apple fritters and cinnamon rolls, plus maybe 10 other donuts in a pile left. That was it as far as donuts. Seriously?! That's all the donuts a donut shop has left on a weekday morning at 9? Also, half a dozen mid-30's day workers sitting at all their tables giving me steely-eyed looks. Nobody behind the counter. I'll never be back. read more

Encinitas Donut House - Chocolate and Maple Rings - Donuts Near Me - Encinitas, California

This family owned shop is my go-to for early morning donuts for work (they open at 4am). I always call ahead and they've got the donuts ready to go when I roll up. My team are so happy when I bring in their donuts! Great texture. Freshly baked. Good variety. Small business. Nice father/son running the place. read more

This is a cash only donut spot that offers good eats along with good customer service. Located off I-5 and next to a Shell gas station in a strip mall. Yes they do close early in the afternoon. They have an ATM. Highly recommended for a sweet tooth craving. read more

If you are in the area and need a sweet treat, this place is for you. They are a local business that serves amazing doughnuts while having some really nice customer service. My personal fav is the doughnut holes, when you take a bite it feels like you're biting down on a cloud made of dough. 10/10 read more

Everything was delicious and fresh, their ham, cheese, jalepeno breakfast sandwich was amazing.

By writing this review...i am also admitting publicly that i ate a donut. yes i did it... my husband started raving about how good the donuts are here..i said...go get one and i'll share it with you! well..i guess he didn't want to share...he got me an old fashioned glazed donut. damn that was good...i ate half (to stick to my plan)...but the other half got consumed the next morning. i like donuts...but it needs to be a while before the next one. i imagine my next donut will be from Encinitas donut house. thanks for the delicious calories. read more

Encinitas Donut House - Donuts Near Me - Encinitas, California

Nothing fancy, no crazy flavors, you won't find bacon or truffle oil but you will get -REALLY GREAT- donuts. The husband and wife team are so warm and friendly. Get here early though, they'll sell out! read more

I am always on the hunt for a good buttermilk bar, and this time around, I found me a great one doused a creamy milk chocolate for .90 something cents. Like I said, the buttermilk bar came heavily laden with rich milk chocolate which formed a nice crust over the doughnut: a crust that melted immediately it the warmth of my mouth which made for some great eating (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/encinitas-donut-house-encinitas?select=ZBZv53aOk9h7-Y2MB0NveA#jIssgCemAJBvjjP4Hf_GvA). The doughnut inside did not only taste great, but it was very moist and together with the chocolate, I was in bliss for the duration of the doughnut (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/encinitas-donut-house-encinitas?select=ZBZv53aOk9h7-Y2MB0NveA#o2cWREmPk-IPIjq_lRoBRg). A great buttermilk bar. They carry your typical doughnuts here, including some mean looking over sized doughnut holes. I did not see any cronuts, but it does not mean they do not make them. The little lady running the shop was very sweet and she made sure she selected a good size butter milk bar for me. They only take cash, but they have an ATM inside that charges fees. Very good doughnuts.. read more

Came to this location yesterday the lady was so friendly, so kind, amazing customer service, but the donuts were so soft and moist and just so perfect I literally think I found my new favorite donut shop unexpectedly deff would recommend to anyone who's looking for good tasting donuts & awesome customer service. read more

Quality Traditional donuts Located along Santa Fe Rd here in Encinitas, this donut shop offers up original donuts and coffee, along with great family hospitality! Walking in you get the sense of a old school donut shop decor, but guess what... no school like the old school! The donuts here are fantastic and well worth the stop in. When you have many donut shops these days going overboard on price and fashionable trending flavors, Encinitas donut shop is breath of fresh air. Also a few cool Cambodian pastries can be found but be quick, they don't last long. This shop is a cash only, but don't sweet, an ATM machine is inside for your convenience. Overall Food: 5-5 Drink: 4-5 Service: 5-5 Coming back: Yea read more

Great donuts! I don't know why but their crumb twist is incredible. Tastes better in the twist shape ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ mom & pop who run this place are so nice and it's the only coffee shop I've ever been to that doesn't have terrible coffee. And a big F U to the dope who left one star because they're cash only. read more

Cash only? I'm sure business is great but as a person who almost NEVER Carrie's cash, having NEVER tried this place...wanting to try it...but NOT wanting to pay a fee to use your ATM....I'm annoyed that I cant try it simply because you guys cant get with the times and allow debit cards. Thanks read more

I love these donuts. I love the people owners/couple that work at this shop. We stop here every now and then on the way to school and Donut House is tasty, quick, affordable, and sweet. read more

Ooooooooh Kayyyyyyyyyy!!! What else? Where Boy??? I miss hearing her cute voice and super nice disposition. She's not gone but I haven't been to the Encinitas Donut House in awhile. My son's getting older. I would take my son there when he was little as an incentive to get up earlier for school. Kids love donuts. HOLLY CRAP!!! ON THE NEWS! RIGHT NOW!!! They're showing the worlds tallest dog. A SEVEN FOOT TALL DALMATION. Geeze! It could eat my kid. OK Now they're showing an elephant painting a self portrait. My cute little father & son story about donuts and the sweet old lady is shot to hell. Whatever! They make donuts, coffee, It's good. The lady is nice. 4 stars...big deal... CRAP!!! A 7 FOOT TALL DALMATION??? read more

Good donuts extra fluffy and good! The blueberry bar was above average. Also tried the coconut donut which was fresh n fluffy. When it comes to donuts I don't like to taste that they were cooked in old oil or over cooked. And I only tasted goodness here. read more

Encinitas Donut House - Corner store right off the freeway - Donuts Near Me - Encinitas, California

Friendly service here, and donuts are OK, but just barely. By just barely, I mean they put the absolute bare minimum of coconut on their coconut donuts. Also, I was thinking of ordering coffee there but saw they had no creamer out. I understand some cultures value thrift, but if you run a business by giving your customers the bare minimum, you won't get a return visit from me. read more

Best donuts ever! I'm a little embarrassed how much I love those donuts. They are fluffy, sort of airy in the center with the perfect amount of frosting. The owners are great too. read more

Best tasting donut - right outside gentle crisp and inside moist softness of awesomeness! Apple fritter is the best I've had in years and the croissants have superb outside crunch-to-inside flakiness. Fantastic service and well worth the stop. Cash only and you know what? Worth it to bring cash. :) You won't want to miss these donuts! read more

Really limited selection of donuts. They don't have a cruler. Or a plain glazed. Or a chocalate glazed. Taste was... Eh. read more

Apple fritter was good. Normal chocolate bar donut. But when you need a donut, these fit the bill nicely! read more

Encinitas Donut House - Donuts Near Me - Encinitas, California

While heading from Del Mar to Knott's Berry Farm on vacation I hit the "donut" category on my GPS and was directed to this gem. After one bite out of my apple fritter I knew I would be going back. On my second trip I got one of their "giant" donuts just for the photo op, but it turned out to be pastry perfection. Not only was it chocolate frosted, but it was also glazed before the frosting was applied creating a throughough sweetness that last only moments because I couldn't stop eating once I started. Its unfortunate that Dunkin Donuts has a stranglehold on the northeast. I'd love to see little shops pop up here at home. read more

Great for before those early morning baseball games I hit up at San Dieguito Academy. Donuts are fresh and very very yummy

I went in at 4am and he told me he just made them fresh. I tried the ham and cheese croissant it was warm and fresh bread it hit the spot. Seems like this place is bomb in the early mornings read more
