Glazed and chocolate are fluffy and so delicious. Donut holes are a must.
Laurie B.

I have been coming here since the 2000 and am never disappointed. Even after I have moved away. When I come to encinitas its a must to get donuts. The family always remembers us and that you cannot get anymore.

Food (4/5 stars): A pretty good donut shop in Encinitas! Can't go wrong here if you're looking for some classic donuts Experience (5/5 stars): * Price: reasonable * Wait Time: no wait * Service: good and friendly * Parking: there's a parking lot * Ambiance: it's a simple, standard donut shop

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.

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..

a variety of donuts

Good Service, Nice Selection, Sells coffee and other drinks. Usually not very busy. I would recommend it.

Had a craving for a mochi donut , so a friend and I cruised over to get some!…read more They are so delicious and doughie! I love the size of the mochi ball too! Of course service was quick. And I love the vibe inside! Parking lot sucks. It's a busy parking lot with very tight spaces.

I had an opportunity to try a few Mochichis donuts for free. I hadn't had a donut in years and…read morebased on all the excellent reviews of this place on Yelp, I was really looking forward to trying some of the unique flavors that I saw in the "Offerings" section of Mochichis' website. As a thank you to Mochichis, I also planned to buy extras for some friends who love donuts. I sent Mochichis' website link to my friends and asked them to let me know what flavors they'd like. Between their picks and mine, I went into Mochichis expecting to come out with seven donuts spanning five different flavors. Much to my disappointment, Mochichis doesn't keep their website updated, and only two of the five flavors I requested were available. The others hadn't been available for months. The lone employee working that day was very nice, very friendly and very patient while I decided on another flavor for myself. Of the four of us who ate the donuts--two Mochi balls, four chocolate with sprinkles, and one strawberry--two of us (me included) didn't much care for them--too sweet, sticky, and doughy, and the glaze was so soft that it was kind of a mess to eat. One friend said it was "good" and nothing more. On a positive note, my other friend loved the Mochi balls. Her words: "I loved the mochi-filled donut. It was the perfect texture and taste. Reminded me of when I lived in Japan years ago and all the great memories of watching how they make mochi."

With how ridiculously hot this summer was, this particular Jeni's location became my refuge due to…read morethe available indoor seating which the North Park shop lacks. Of course the ice cream is fantastic at every location, and staff is always super nice in letting you try as many samples as you wish. Got Cherry Vanilla Waffle Cone Ice Cream, Goat Cheese with Red Cherries Ice Cream, and Darkest Chocolate Ice Cream in a Waffle Bowl on my last visit and indeed the combination was... wait for it... splendid! ;)

Don't be fooled by the scoop shops she's got She's still…read moreJeni from the block (spin on Jenny from the Block by JLo from 2002) Splendid indeed and perfect on a July summer evening! The hubby and I were visiting the local area and stopped here for dessert. Line almost out the door but moved along well. Was interested in the Ted Lasso promo. Although I don't watch the show, crumbly shortbread cookies in salted sweet butter cream sounded good! Sampled it and decided to get it. Outright creamy deliciousness! Their napkin w/lots of info says "we geek out over ice cream science, rearranging the molecules to support all four sensory elements of ice cream: flavor, texture, body and finish." True. The hubby chose the gooey butter cake + goat cheese w/red cherries. Oh my! This was even better than what I got. In my neck of the woods, there are a few shops in the city of Los Angeles but, this was my actual first time in a brick and mortar Jeni's shop. I've seen the pints at grocery stores but had not tried until recently. Good to know there are over 90 retail locations across 15 states and DC. Would definitely return to a Jeni's Splendid Ice Cream when in the vicinity of one and sample some unique flavors. 5 stars!
