I have been looking for the best classic donut shop near me and I have definitely found it! They accept credit card, you have to be okay with $0.75 fee charge. Always got parking right in front. They have a handful of tables in the corner if you wanted to eat right there. This shop serves Vietnamese Iced Coffee for $5.50 and paired with a chocolate donut and I'm a happy camper for the morning! I've watched them make the espresso too (some donut shops have those 'machines' that make coffee, and it's just not the same!) I've also gotten their croissant ham and cheese sandwich and it's really good and pretty big - soft and fluffy. Definitely a spot to stop for 8 bucks of deliciousness! read more

Great shop with a huge variety to choose from. I stopped in one morning and they even threw in a couple extra donuts, which was such a nice surprise. The donuts were fresh, the Vietnamese coffee was good, and the service was friendly. Definitely a spot I'll keep coming back to! read more

This donut shop gives off strong family business vibes, in the best way possible! The staff is sweet, attentive, and incredibly well-informed. I love how they follow through on what they say and explain things clearly, even when it's about something like an upcharge or not accepting specific coupons. They handle everything with kindness and respect. Their boba service is a major plus! I'm especially obsessed with the Honeydew drink--it's always a treat. And the little donut hole they put on your straw? Such a cute, thoughtful touch. The donuts themselves are amazing: light and fluffy when they should be, and perfectly crispy and caramelized when it counts. Just a chef's kiss! Best of all, everything is reasonably priced, you don't have to break the bank to enjoy good quality here. You can tell they care about their work and their customers; no wonder they've been a staple in the community for so long. Highly recommend! Strong work ethic! read more

This donut shop is the best in Chula Vista. Everything is big and fresh- no cutting corners here. The guy that usually helps me is super nice and sometimes throws in a few donut holes for the kids. We found them one Christmas Morning looking for a shop that was open. Now it's our go-to donut joint! read more

Now can I take that 1 star back? This place has the worst donuts and the staff is shitty. Lemme tell you, I wanted a Kristy Kreme donut, it I didn't feel like driving that far, so I went here instead. My bad! The two do nuts I got were not done. The inside was so doughy. Never again! read more

KD's is by far one of the best donut shops here in Chula Vista. I have been going there now for about three years and I have never been disappointed unless they were closed or on vacation. I have tried most of their donuts. My two favorites are the apple fritter and the maple bar and I pick up at least a dozen of the donut holes for my four Belgian malanois dogs I will continue to make this my go to place not only the donuts spectacular, the owners are usually there every time I go. They are both very friendly and happy to help in. Anyway, they can to make you happy customer. Thanks KD donuts for providing a great service to this community. read more

K D's Donuts - Chocolate, sugar, glazed and donut holes - Donuts Near Me - Chula Vista, California

This place has great doughnuts and great customer service. A small mom and pop doughnut shop with fresh baked doughnuts sold daily. I passed by this place many times and decided to stop two months ago. Now it's my go to for a quick morning sugar rush. I gave 4 stars because I only have gotten the glazed doughnuts, but everything looks delicious and fresh. No flies flying around like other doughnut shops I've been to in the past. Doughnut ranges from $1.50 each. Two Cambodian owners who do this for the love and their livelihood. 4.5 to me... I stopped going to the other doughnut shop on Broadway by Jack in the Crack because of this place. Your quality stole their business. read more

Super nice and friendly staff. Amazing tasting boba and donuts! The strawberry banana is really sweet and the boba is nice and chewy. I got a cream filled chocolate donut that was SOOO GOOD. The donut was fresh, chocolate tasted amazing. The cream tasted a bit more like icing, but it paired well with the strawberry banana drink. All in all a great experience and would definitely recommend! read more

I want to update my review that I did the other day. This morning i woke up and I have few dollars in my pocket and I just thought that j would get some Donuts and maybe a but i think I'm early. Not all the time im able tk get some donuts and enjoy the morning but if I'm able tk j see why not. Enjoy the morning a lil maybe bring something back for your love ones put a smile on your wife's face do something that you normally don't do even though she might still be asleep lol but its the thought that counts just going out of your way starting your morning off with a thank you and a smile. For those that have had a long week and been stress out at work maybe its time men get your wife or kids some donuts. Maybe sparkles one's. Anyhow I hope we have a good morning. And thank you KD'S from mine to yours read more

Great place to grab desserts / donuts. The customer service was astounding as the shop owner was very welcoming. He also allowed me to sample some of the donuts which helped me decide which donuts I wanted to get. Their breakfast (ham and cheese) croissants were amazing and their donut holes and filling donuts were fresh! Tasted like they were just baked! Last of all their donuts were priced fairly compared to the other donut shops! read more

KD's has the best apple fritters! Love all the nooks and crannies, krispy edges, and soft & moist inside. You can taste bits of real apples inside and not so sweet like some other apple fritters that I have tasted. This place is a hidden donut gem in Chula Vista! read more

Best donut shop in town! I drive from Rancho Del Rey for this shop. My dad even request them when I visit him in Orange County. Their apple fritter is the size of my head and actually had huge chunks of apples in them. Their old fashions are to die for. Their donuts are perfectly crispy and even keep for the next day. Whenever I go there's always other people grabbing a dozen. read more

A Chula Vista landmark! I remember the sign being a little "off" since about my Junior year in high school. I would get a little chuckle out of the K and DO missing. Yes they have nice fresh 'nuts early in the morning. I remember a dozen being about $5 and sometimes bringing them into the office. I'm actually pretty sad the fixed the sign after over 10 years but we'll always have the memories! read more

DONUT CRACK - don't read unless you want to get addicted. I am a serious donut snob. I love those fresh, soft, sweet doughy morals from heaven. I've had them all around SD and almost had a party when Dunkn opened. *Cue Homer mmmm donuts sound* So I wasn't sure what to expect with this shop, since there aren't that many reviews and many of them had to do with a terrible experience with the customer service. I couldn't be happier, and why? Two words "NEW OWNERS" I was in the area, and went in on Saturday morning. I could smell the donuts freshly baked before I walked in - that's always a good sign. I was greeted with a super clean shop and a smiling young lady at the register. I wasn't sure if she was the same person as the other posts, because she was nothing but friendly and very helpful. I sparked a conversation with her since there was just me in the shop, she said she and her husband just took over the shop in August and were very excited. Ok - on to the most important thing, THE DONUTS! The donuts are so stinking good. I wanted to buy one of each but I had to stop myself from looking like a total crazy. I asked the nice lady to put them face up in the box for a photo op before diving in. She happily obliged, she understood my need to post my food adventures. They were so fresh, and light, and perfectly sweet. Apparently they make donuts throughout the day so you aren't stuck eating a stale donut. I bought the apple fritter and cinni-bun/roll donut too for good measure and let me tell you - the cinnabun roll will change your life! I've had Stardust in IB, and they're good - but if you don't get them fresh, they turn into greasy messes. K D's cinnamon roll melts and has that perfect combination of sugar and cinnamon. I had to get some donut holes too, but I ate them all before I could count to 10. They should be called donut crack and not donut holes. The apple fritter was for my 18yr old son and he didn't even take a moment to breath in between bites, I got a little worried (death by donuts doesn't sound so bad to be honest). HUGE plus for me is that there's parking and plenty of seats to enjoy your coffee and donuts without feeling rushed. I HIGHLY recommend making a pit stop and getting a couple of dozen to share, they won't last very long in the car so just get a *few* extra. read more

I have been going to there for years and the service and donuts are always excellent. As other businesses they had a hard time during COVID but always kept a smile and an excellent quality of donuts. Stop by and check them out read more

I love apple fritters with no hariy critters! I've been going here for the past 6 months and no other Yelp review of this place yet?!?! I suppose I'll be the first! Okay, I might be considered crazy for giving this place a Yelp 5-star rating! However, let me digress: 1.) Fresh, delicious apple fritters! 80 cents for the small one, or a LARGE one for $1.50! One can see and taste the real apples! 2.) Family-owned and operated always gets a star from me. 3.) Friendly and fast service also deserves a star! I went to another Asian-owned place on Broadway and got curt service. This place greets you with a smile and a genuine "hello." 4.) Fresh selection of donuts every morning. 5.) Cleanliness and display of items. That's important in a donut shop. Have you ever wandered into one of those 'hole-in-the-wall' donut shops with selections all over the place which just adds to sheer mass confusion? This place keeps it simple and well organized. If I could give KD's another star it would be considered a bonus star for the actual location! This place is located on the corner of Palomar and 3rd - a very busy intersection in South Chula. There is a bus stop directly in front KD's - perfect when you have the munchies during a long bus ride. The Seafood City market and the Auto-Zone are located across from this place. As you can imagine, shopping for groceries and auto parts can bring on an appetite! La Migra offices are located conveniently across the street for those that need to take care of their immigration "papales." Various other business establishments (laundry and computer repair) are located within a short walk and you have other various medical and law practices nearby. Parking is a major problem here - that is my only issue! Other than that, I wish they had wi-fi and a larger sit-down lounge, or even a patio! Sorry, maybe I'm asking for too much. I ordered their coffee this morning, and it was $1.00 in a Styrofoam Dixie cup with only about 8 ounces of coffee - it was small and tasted fairly okay and was strong. I would suggest to the owners to use paper and maybe serve them in larger sized cups. The Burger King across charges a buck for their small Seattle's Best coffee; you also get 12 ounces, and it taste much better! NOTE: Bring your dollars and coins, as this is an all cash business operation! Duece-out! PS I plan to get some Apple bottom fritters for my two BFF co-workers! This is dedicated to you: "Mandy and Freddie"! XoXoXo read more

Love this place! Went this morning and ordered a dozen donut holes (definitely got more than 1), 2 raspberry filled donuts, a taro boba drink and a strawberry milk. My total was $10! What other place has prices like that? This is definitely going to be my GO-TO donut place!!!! read more

Was craving some donuts so I stopped by. The sign outside always makes me laugh D's Nuts. So I decided to ask the owner why they haven't changed their sign. I guess the sign is not part of their property and they requested to have it repaired my the owner of the lot. I guess the lot owner refuses to remake the sign. So going on to their donuts u can tell its owned by a mom and her daughters. The lady is always there. I am from the east coast and was looking to find some French crullers and they made them their. So happy cause west coast seems to not make them. They were airy, soft and fluffy. Exactly how the easy coast makes them, well Dunkin donuts. Defiantly coming back here. read more

Delicious donuts and great selection. Stopped in late at night after work and found the donuts to still be fresh and soft.

I bought a Cinnamon Roll ... it was stale and raw ... Walking down 3rd took a bite tiki ... came across two homeless and gave them change instead of the roll.... threw it away for the birds.... Raw Dough ..,,! read more

I was sniffing around the office the other day and my donut radar went beeep beeep beeep!!! I wanted to make sure the people on diets weren't gonna cheat so i decided to take a couple out of the temptation zone. I'm a sucker for jelly/jam/fruit spread whatever you want to call it...and having it stuffed inside a donut makes me a very happy girl. The strawberry jelly filled donut from KD's i had was outstanding. The right amount of filling oozed out perfectly from the rounded dough mound and sent my taste buds over the edge!! Later on in the day I had a cup of coffee and figured you can't have coffee without donuts its just wrong! So I got a chocolate cake donut. Not usually on my radar but the pickins were slim late in the day. Let me tell you this donut was so soft and sugary and cake like I couldn't believe it. Just one bite I told myself, turned into barely a crumb on my plate licked clean. Ofcourse, I had to find out where these came from so I could express my gratitude appropriately. KD, thanks for the donuts! read more

Donuts here are sometimes fresh or sometimes stale. I don't plan to buy anything from here anymore because every time I have been here the price of the donuts change. The price for a donut has risen 3 separate times in less than 1 month time. One day a donut is 75 cents, next week it is 85 cents, then on a slow Tuesday morning it now cost $1.00 for a donut. I never trust a business when they can't keep the price constant for a normal period of time. I won't even waste my time returning to KD's because of the huge uncertainty of their prices and the event I don't have enough coins on me if the donuts will cost more than a $1 on the next visit. Also, one time I bought milk that was like 1 or 2 days from expiring and it was not worth the money since it tasted as if it was already expired, I couldn't finish drinking it. Lesson learned not to buy milk again here. Huge pigeon problem outside this shop which is really disgusting. I absolutely love the sign saying D'S NUTS. LOL read more

Great tasting donuts! Must be due to the hidden protein I found in the regular glazed. Sounds like they have a FLOUR BEETLE INFESTATION. AVOID THIS DONUT SHOP AT ALL COSTS! Poor customer service as well. The lady behind the counter was on her phone the whole time during my transaction. read more

Seems like Southeast Asians have a monopoly on Donut shops. I had their strawberry cake and chocolate twist donut. The donuts tasted fresh and satisfied my sweet tooth. I received great service and the establishment was very clean. The only gripe I have is with the way the shop is decorated. The walls are lined with completed jigsaw puzzles such as killer whales and unicorns. Who does that??? That shit is tacky as hell. read more
