The fam and I were staying with our in-laws down South over the weekend, so when my wifey said for me to buy donuts for the fam, of course I turned to Yelp to find the best donut place. After looking over the ratings and reading some reviews, I decided to visit Freshh Donuts. I'm so glad I found this South Bay gem because the donuts themselves lived up to this establishment's name. Freshh fo sho!
For my Yelp friends, Freshh Donuts can be found by exiting off Palm Avenue using the 5 freeway and heading east. It's not too far after you exit off the freeway and can be found on the corner of Palm Avenue and Hollister Street. Fresh is located in a small strip mall with the convenience store 7-11 as its anchor store. It's next to Wah Shing Chinese food, Armando's taco shop, a tatoo shop, a smoke shop, and across from Palm City Liquor and Papa John's. I docked Freshh half a star (4.5 stars all day) because you can't sit down inside to enjoy their sweet goodies as their inside booths are blocked off by yellow caution tape. The inside looks like your run of the mill donut shop. Freshh does not accept debit/credit cards, but it does take cash, Venmo, and to my surprise Zelle. The Asian lady behind the counter was very friendly and she provided really good customer service.
Whenever we visited our in-laws and craved donuts, our go to place was Yum Yum Donuts. After my first time experience at Freshh, I believe we now have a new go to donut place. There is a large array of donuts and Freshh is definitely not stingy on the size of their donuts. Just like everything else we purchase nowadays, it appears donuts are not immune to the rise in prices as I paid $28 for two dozen donuts. I made sure to buy a maple glazed cake donut, so that I can compare to a similar donut that I loved at Donut Touch in the North County. Hopefully you'll see the pic of the Freshh Donut doppelgänger and you'll see that my first bite made me real happy because I found the equivalent yummy, tasty, and fresh down South. Freshh's maple glazed cake donut was so good that I had to take a picture of it. Initially, I cut half of a glazed donut to indulge in, but it was so delish that I had to enjoy the other half too. Calories, schmalories because Freshh's donuts were so yummy that depriving myself was out of the question.
I'm glad my better half suggested that we buy donuts for our family. Otherwise, we would not have found our new go to donut place. If you don't know about Freshh Donuts, then you're welcome. read more
