    Lucky Donuts House is another mom-and-pop store in the PB neighborhood. They are not open 24 hours unlike some other donut shops in the SD area. As a matter of fact, they close at 2 pm daily which is on the early side. The business occupies an end suite at the Plaza Clock Tower that has about half a dozen tenants. If the neighboring yoga studio has a class in session, then good luck with finding an available space in the parking lot. The inside of this place was small, yet it still had three tables for on-site dining. Breakfast sandwiches were available for $7.50 each. You can choose either a bagel, croissant, English muffin, or glazed donut as the vehicle. The filling could then be bacon, ham, egg, cheese, or sausage. Donuts ranged in price from $1.99 to $3.99 apiece. The regular varieties could be purchased by the half dozen of full dozen. Beverages included coffee, tea, milk, juice, hot chocolate, and a few other offerings. I came in after lunch at which time the selections were less than optimal. My picks were three different donuts.... Bavarian, Coconut Flake, and Maple Bar. The total price was just under $9, and I paid with cash because there was a surcharge added for using a credit or debit card. The best of the trio was the Bavarian because of the vanilla cream filling that wasn't overly sweet. The dough was still quite soft even though the donuts were made much earlier in the day. Overall, the products I tasted at Lucky Donuts House were average.

    This is my favorite place to grab donuts in PB! Their donuts are fresh and good quality for an affordable price. I've really liked their maple twist and chocolate donuts. The ham and cheese croissants are bomb too! The cereal topped donuts look great as well, I'm looking forward to trying them out soon. They give great service and are friendly whenever I come in. This is a great place to quickly stop by and grab a treat in the morning or any time of day.

    The donuts were all soooooo greasy. The breakfast sandwiches were simple and good. We couldn't eat any of the donuts. So gross.

    "Old School" pink box quality! Best around. Maple Bacon, apple fritters, cinnamon rolls fantastic.

    Ok the donuts here are always fantastic but today I tried the Apple burrito for the first time and my god my life has totally changed for the better. I'm never going to forget this moment. These crispy, flaky, apple filled pieces of heaven are like a mind-altering substance. As soon as I took the first bite I was compelled to just crave these things for the rest of my life. It's like an angelic improved version of an Apple fritter. These things fell from heaven and landed in Lucky Donuts House. Wowzers!

    I'm totally into these donuts! They were so fresh! There was the perfect amount of filling in them. The donut holes just melted in our mouths. I'll definitely be back!

    I'm not sure if they are having an off day, but I am not a fan. I usually love apple fritters and I could only eat a few bites of this one. It's so greasy! The flavor of the oil overpowered the donut, and I didn't taste any apple. I tried a bite of the old fashioned glazed hoping for a better experience, and it was also very greasy. Overall, not a great experience. The few bites of donuts I did have left me feeling sick from all the grease. I should add that delivery was quick, but that's a bit of a non-starter given that the donuts are inedible.

    Came in on a a Friday morning to pick up donuts for the office. I'm a huge fan of these mom& pop type donut shops because they're usually super friendly and have really fresh donuts. My experience here though.. not worth coming here for. The lady at the counter is rather rude. I ordered a dozen donuts ($11.50) but it costs more If you get any from the top row which are their "specialty donuts". With two speciality donuts it's came out to $13.39. They have all sorts of flavors ranging from original glazed, sugar, twists, maple bars, chocolate, fruity pebbles, cookies and cream, coconut, etc. Each individual donut starts at $1.29. On my way out, I asked for another box to separate the dozen donuts I bought and she looked at me RUDELY saying that she'd have to charge me more for an extra box. My bad, could've just nicely said no.. Donuts taste alright, not different from the ones you pick up from Vons or Ralphs. It's located at the end of Garnet in Pacific Beach closer to the ocean and PB traffic so it's also not the most convenient place to get to. Skip this place and go to Rose Donuts in Linda Vista!

    We received a variety of donuts for the office earlier this week, so I chose the chocolate cream filled one. There was an adequate amount of cream inside, but overall it tasted okay. The other donuts looked good though!

    Still my go to place when I'm craving something sweet and special. Their cakes may be pricey, but…read morein my opinion, for the amount of work, effort, and quality of ingredients, I think they continue to be fair. For example, some other specialty bakeries/shops are charging similar prices for cakes and cheesecakes that are much simpler. In comparison, Extraordinary Dessert cakes take 3-4 days to make, have 6-8 alternating layers, and are typically adorned with edible gold and/or flowers. The key is to find which items you like and which are okay to pass on next time. What we ried this time: -Match Misu Cake (7/10): ricotta cake layers soaked in matcha and layered with marscapone whipped cream. This one was pretty good and ranks in my middle to high range. I only wish there was more matcha flavor (maybe if you dine in and get the sauce, this would help) or the matcha was paired with another flavor ... either go fruity (maybe a raspberry sauce, strawberry pieces, white peach pieces, or like a peach oolong cream layer) or go chocolately/coffee (maybe had some crushed up chocolate covered espresso beans). My go to's: -Ivoire Royale (10/10) - my ultimate favorite still. If you like light desserts, white chocolate, berries, and moist vanilla cake, thus one is for you. Classy and unpretentious -Shangrila (10/10) - my other favorite and will make you feel like a princess with all the pink chocolate curls. A little bit adventurous and innocently elegant. Ones to skip: -Au Chocolate / La Bete Noire / Dame Chocolate - get the Viking instead. That's my favorite of all their chocolate cakes -Lemon ricotta - get the Passionfruit Ricotta instead -Torta misu - the matcha misu is better. The tortilla misuse made me want a regular piece of tirmaisu than a cake version -Coconut cream - not bad, not amazing though

    We normally come here weekly after dinner with family for dessert, but after this last experience…read morewe will not be returning.

We politely asked if it would be possible to purchase a small cup of fruit , even just a couple strawberries cut up, because one child in our group cannot have sweets due to very strict dietary restrictions . Instead of simply saying they were unable to accommodate the request or offering another option, we were told to "go somewhere else," despite already spending the amount we did . The complete lack of professionalism and basic customer service was honestly shocking. It's disappointing to be treated that way at a place we have supported so consistently. This place has been going downhill , management for this place needs to step up .

Flour Atelier is a small bakery right next to the hovering Mitsuwa. They carry two refrigerated sections' worth of original treats and pastries, many with Asian flavors such as their ube leche flan and calamansi cheesecake. I'm a gluten free girly nowadays, but when I could eat their desserts I did love their cheesecake: a balance of cream-to-crust is important to me. And those flavors? Standout. Hard to find many other places. They also have tea and coffee, and my husband and I LOVE their hojicha latte, which boasts a nice earthy-to-sweet ratio. If you want a grounded flavor without getting another coffee, try the hojicha latte! The store itself is quite small, selling sweet treats, drinks, and even flowers through a collaboration with a florist. They have about 4 tables outside -- recommended for small parties, unless you come when it's empty with a group. BIG TIP: Bring your mother or mother-in-law here to impress -- that is, if she likes cute, sweet treats and a tea party vibe! My mom always loves coming here, and bringing the whole family, too Keep up the great work Flour Atelier!

Many reviews have noted this, and I would have to agree, especially for the size (crepe cake slices) and/or simple design (two layer naked cakes). We ended up trying a slice of their taro crepe cake. It was tasty - light, smooth, and included real taro - and had alternating layers of cream and taro; however, we were surprised with how small it was in person (vs photos) for $12.50 before tax. This is just below the price for an Extraordinary Desserts cake slice, which is not only bigger and more complex, but also made fresh. We noticed the crepe cake slice we got had that dusting of ice sparkles, indicating it was frozen and defrosting, and additionally, as it defrosted, the more it started leaning. If you haven't tried Yiko Yiko, it's worth still checking out. That said, I think you'll be satisifed after one or two visits.

Lines are always better with a friend and even though we all arrived before opening there was still a healthy line. I was really excited, to finally get to check them out, I saw on their socials that a new chef had taken residency and that they came with some Filipino flair. As a fellow Filipino I definitely wanted to support. I ended up ordering a lumpia roll, ube butter ensaymada, a halo halo tart and a egg sando sandwich along with an iced matcha with honey, with tip my total was $48, which isn't horrible considering these are meant to be higher quality pastries. My girlfriends and I found a table and decided we would share, I shared my egg sando sandwich and the lumpia roll, while they shared their ube butter ensaymada and the turon kouign amann. My matcha, was a horrible, it was a muddy green and really lacked any matcha flavor, my friend didn't like her matcha either and she had the miso caramel matcha. I didn't even finish my matcha and I can really take one down. We joked about how we should have opted for the orange juice instead. Now for the pastries, I was really underwhelmed by them, the ensaymada was just fine, I honestly cannot remember the taste of it, it lacked something. The egg sando sandwich, the filling was plentiful and flavorful BUT the bread was dry, was that potato bread? The texture was off for me and I ended up just scooping out the filling and eating it like that. Where the sando had a good amount of filling the lumpia roll lacked it, it was so sparse I figured it would be more like a sausage roll so I was taken aback by how little there was in it. Flavors were fine, the pastry was buttery but I just wanted a little more. The one pastry we agreed was better than the rest was the turon kouign amann, the crunchy bits of sugar was so reminiscent of turon but the filling, for me was like uncooked banana bread batter, that threw me off entirely. It was better, but not the filling. So overall, I would say it was okay, I guess for the costs it just didn't meet my expectations.

    5/11/2026 CHOCO CHIP…read morePISTACHIO COOKIE Wow! This was reeeeally good! It was crispy on the outside and slightly chewy on the inside. Lots of chocolate and I think they added toffee in it too. The middle section had pistachio frangipane (or it looked like it) with coarsely chopped pistachios that brought another layer of crunch! Then to top it all off, it had pistachio cream on top of the cookie! I only wish I got another one. CAPPUCCINO It was okay. But love the foam! It was frothy and foamy! PAVLOVA The meringue was a bit too hard and too sweet and the pastry cream was overwhipped. Loved the fresh fig and blueberries though. I was looking forward to eating pavlova and this was very disappointing! KOUIGN AMANN Very buttery and sticky! Crispy on the outside. Every bite was not dry, but chewy. There was this sticky and chewy texture that wasn't unpleasant, yet it wasn't fully flaky like a croissant. But glad it was not dry! The kouign amann was not as tall like others I've tried, but I preferred it this way because it was not dry. The last kouign amann I had from Bread Lounge was dryyyy. But bought mine at a coffee shop too. PAIN AU CHOCOLAT Crispy on the outside, but I must have toasted a bit more, so the outside was a bit more toasted than desired. Inside was good. Good dark chocolate. BUTTER CROISSANT Really buttery, flaky, crispy! Ate it next day, so reheated it in the toaster oven to bring a more crispness all around. Really enjoyed this! Adding butter and jam is so good! LEMON MERINGUE Meringue had a strong eggy smell and flavor, the lemon was tangy, but not enough to rid of the eggy smell and flavor. The tart was hard and almost stale. I took a few bites and threw the rest out. PAIN SUISSE Chocolate flavor. Crispy on the outside, fluffy like a light spongy cake inside. Enjoyed this! CUSTOMER SERVICE Got there early afternoon. There was only one person in front of me. Good service overall. Quick service. Hits and misses of the various pastries I've tried. It will not deter me from trying their pastries though, as the really good ones were really good! Would love to return! Especially for that Choco Chip Pistachio Cookie! LOCATED INSIDE ANOTHER STORE Located inside a store called Floral Palette, which is a floral shop and specialty gift store. Beautiful store! The sign is big, so you cannot miss it!
