    On our last morning in OB, we walked our friend's pup down to OB Donuts. This is a classic donut shop, nothing fancy, just good. The employees at the counter were helpful and smiley. The bagel sandwiches were had were again, nothing fancy, but fresh, hot, and tasty. We grabbed a couple donuts for good measure and they were tasty, too. And the friendly employee tossed in a few donuts holes as a bonus!

    OB Donuts is the OG, that's the way it should be, do ya feel me!?! The Lox bagel is such a solid way to start the day. The first bite of the glazed donut made me remember why people love donuts. The bagel BLT left us wanting more! The family staff is super kind and gracious. I will always rep OB Donuts.

    Very fresh donuts, large variety, many choices. Great service and friendly people too.

    dozen donuts, couldn't keep people away fast enough!

    Got a dozen of these, everyone at work loved them. They are not the fancy type donuts with specialty flavors and what not, but for your standard donuts shop they are one of the best. Very soft yet a little dense, they are moist inside and have a little crisp outside. For standard donuts they are the one of the best, tied for first I think. Friendly staff, they even threw in a few doughnut holes when I got a dozen!

    This place has been a favorite since living in the OB/Point Loma area. Now that we've moved we make a point to come back and partake of a local business. Although donuts are in the name, it's the bagel sandwiches you want. The #4 double sided breakfast bagel is so good. If you're wanting something lighter, the #6 is a modest tomato on bagel with seasoning. The people are always friendly and nice- sometime we would roll in at 11am and there are still donuts to choose from. It's quaint and small- they accept credit cards now and have iced coffee! The "OB Special" is Vietnamese coffee soooo good.

    MUST TRY!! Unassuming spot that sells the BEST donuts. I lived in the neighborhood for two months and had a donut almost everyday. All the donuts are so fluffy! The place is cash only.

    Best breakfast ever! The service was genuinely so sweet! I am very happy with my experience!

    This place is a gem! The guy working who I'm guessing is the owner is so nice and threw in a couple of donut holes for free. We had the #3 breakfast sandwich and grabbed a few donuts. They were so fresh and light and absolutely delicious. It's cash only and dog friendly.

    Consistent quality in really fresh soft and chewy donuts. We typically get a glazed twist, which is our favorite as well as a chocolate twist, which I wish I had glazed on it as well. The blueberry scone is always amazing because it has tons of blueberries, a nice crust, and not too sweet. This morning, for the first time since I've been going here for years, there were no donut holes given with our order, which they usually have. Not sure if OB donuts stopped giving to 3 free donut holes with every order or if it ran out this morning.

    Standard little unassuming donut shop with a myriad of fresh pastries. The gentleman working the counter (which he may have been the only one there, it's a small place, so I can't imagine there being a whole crew) was SO sweet & friendly. It was hard to pick what I wanted.. so naturally I just got a little bit of everything, and just like others Yelpers mentioned, he threw in some free donut holes. The blueberry scone was equally as good and blueberry-packed as everyone else has said, so I won't spend much time on it, but you should absolutely get one if you like blueberries. Perfect light texture. Not too sweet. Just delicious. Not picture - strawberry cream cheese danish. Wow. This is thing so flaky and delicate but doesn't crumble ON you? Don't know how they pulled that off because that's a feat in and of itself. The ham and cheese croissant -- mother of god that thing is a beast! It should be its own unit of measurement. It's SO good. I got mine warmed, and ate some of it out front of the shop, and honestly I think my day is better because of it. The flakiness & butteriness, yet somehow still light, is pure magic. Whatever cheese they put in it (definitely not Swiss, maybe white American?) is super creamy. 12/10, definitely stop in!

There is no customer service as everything you order is through the kiosk, which is fine. The drinks come out quick which is a plus. I did pay extra for the cute surprise toy. I can't wait to come back and try other drinks and their mochi dough. Thanks Mochi Dough for a fun first time.

    FOR THE WIN!!! (4.75 stars)…read more I love donuts. And I tend to stick to basic classical donuts. And therefore I am late to the trend with the mochi donuts! This location is inside Bober Tea and Coffee. There is a glass casing with several flavors to choose from and they sell at $3 a piece. The one that stood out to me was the chocolate with sprinkles. Upon receiving it in a paper pocket bag, the icing was rubbing off on the bag. That immediately told me this is super fresh! I could already feel the softness of the donut. The little sectioned off ball looking segments of the donut are also a game changer when it comes to eating - easier to eat without making a mess! The texture was bouncy, soft, lightly chewy and a little stretchy... the texture was fun and I found myself wanting another afterwards. I do wish they had offer other flavors that don't sounds too sweet because the other flavors didn't really catch me. Until the next review...

The fluffiness reminded me more of a beignet and brioche. Will be back to try more flavors! 5/13- We returned for more. These were made to order and topping to dough ratio was too much. Maybe they were being generous, but they were overly sweet today. Bourbon Caramel, Strawberry Shortcake, Lemon, Blueberry Hill, Mango Margarita and Turtle Cheesecake. All great flavors, just too much of it.

We picked out two beautiful donuts, the Chocolate Abuelita and the Cajeta. The Cata looked really nice, but was very plain tasting. The Chocolate Abuelita was definitely better and I liked the Mexican hot chocolate cream in the center. I would give this donut shop one more shot, just because of all the great things I've heard about it from people whose opinions I respect. Honestly, though, there are so many donut shops in town that if I don't find it better the next time I probably wouldn't return.
