Hole-y moly, this place never disappoints! Fresh, delicious donuts & pastries, efficient staff, & somehow they always make our mornings a little sweeter. Even Pete gives it two paws up for the warm welcomes. We'd glaze over a dozen other donut shops before we'd skip this one! read more

This is a family run Lil donut shop sells out early, but they're very nice people and they're extremely good donuts. I believe the owner is a Cambodian and he's a very nice hard-working guy. read more

Sam's Donut Shop - Cinnamon Crumble Donut and Cinnamon Bun Donut - Donuts Near Me - Oceanside, California

I have been coming here on-and-off for years; specifically for their chocolate old-fashioned donuts. While nothing to write home about, the service has always been friendly and the donuts, solid. Quality of ingredients is definitely on the lower end, which is why I don't bother with sandwiches or coffee here, or jelly-filled donuts. If I had my eyes closed, I wouldn't even know there was chocolate icing on mine because the flavor was so subtle. A basic donut now costs a hair under the price of a specialty donut elsewhere. To treat myself in the future, I'll most likely end up at The Goods (house-made jams, fresh creams!) in Carlsbad for a fancy donut. Pros: - friendly - lots of parking - a bit dated and old Cons: - lower quality ingredients - getting pricey - nothing unique read more

This is my first time coming in person to place my order at Sam's Donut Shop with Lee who is Sam's brother. Lee said that Sam's Donut Shop has been in business for 20 years now and is still going strong! It's a family owned business.. My order I placed with Lee for my breakfast was the one order of the Sausage, Egg, Lettuce, Tomatoes and mayonnaise Toasted Croissant, one large decaffeinated French Vanilla Coffee, and for my dessert I ordered with Kim whose Lee's mother one Chocolate Covered Round Donut and Kim was very sweet, she gave me 3 FREE Glazed Donuts Holes. My total cost was $12.00. That is a very affordable price and I am still eating and enjoying my Hot Decaffeinated Coffee with a Chocolate Covered Round Donut. It's feels great to eat inside Sam's Donut Shop. Both of their shops doors are open and a really cool breeze is blowing inside this donut shop. While I was eating my breakfast Croissant Sandwich I saw several customers ordering their favorite donuts. Sam's Donut Shop bakes their donuts every morning none of their donuts are frozen . I will eat her again soon. read more

Fresh bake friendly stuff small clean friendly stuff ...... yummy cinnamon bun .one owner for 20 years

Fresh , hot and yummy ......!!! I like those donuts . Coffee is boom ...... good service and good places.

Bought a Medium coffee. Lady charged me 325 when I asked her isn't the price 300 she act like she didn't understand me . And went on the the other customer. I know it's 25 cents but how many others are being ripped off. And yes the coffee is good. Just keep a eye out don't like to be ripped off read more

Apple fritter is giant and outstanding! Extremely yummy! Chocolate old-fashioned equally delicious! They box up your order nicely and they even surprised us with some complimentary donut holes! read more

Also, Cronuts are served here. I had noticed that they had a poster advertising that croissants were made and served here. "Do you have a cronut?", I asked. The clerk/owner/donut maker dude pointed inside the very modest selection of baked goods behind the counter. 10am on this Friday and there was a dwindling assortment of the various baked goods. "I'll have one of those, one of those and one of those", as I pointed to some of my old time favorites. "Let me try one of your cronuts too", pointing now to the donut-shaped, layered and glazed croissant. Nothing too special on the appearance, but being the second cronut I have sampled, I find it to be superior to the others that I had before elsewhere. Layers upon layers that just pulled apart like pulling apart a croissant . . . just with an edge of glaze. "Awesome". So we get in the car to drive off and begin to sample our breakfast treats and we find that the owner/server had put 3 or 4 regular donut holes in each of the bags as well. Those seemed to make our visit that much more special. The donuts and other treats here made our morning. We are going to have to remember this place. Dicks read more

Prepare yourselves, mere mortals, for I am about to recount an encounter so profound, so utterly life-altering, that it transcends the mundane realm of mere pastry consumption. I speak, of course, of the apple fritter from Sam's Donuts. This wasn't just a donut; it was a spiritual awakening, a culinary crescendo, a sugary supernova that exploded on my palate with the force of a thousand tiny, caramelized apples. 10/10 read more

Large assortment of donuts all delicious. Fresh and soft. Definitely will visit Sam's again when we are in town. read more

Great sausage egg croissant sandwich and donuts! Loved the twist donut and chocolate cream filled.

My new favorite local donut spot! I have doordashed Sam's to us multiple times now and can't order from anyone else. The donut holes are DIVINE and the apple fritter is from another WORLD! The fritter is so crispy and sweet and perfectly fried and glazed. My boyfriend LOVES the crème filled donut and it's now a staple for our weekends. Thank you for providing us with deliciously tasty treats! FIVE GLOWING STARS! (If I could give more I would!) read more

Not so special but not horrible. Donuts are meh and the breakfast sandwiches have that remade egg thing in them. Nothing special to return to. read more

Honestly we have only been inside once. We love ordering this on Uber eats. Love the ham and cheese croissants, cinnamon crumb donut, maple bars and sausage croissant breakfast sandwich. read more

Lovely donuts! I actually used online delivery to get these to my house since I was in a pinch for time and I got them in less than 15 minutes!! These donuts taste so fresh and the Ham&Cheese croissant sandwich were so tasty. My favorite donut would have to be the glazed donut. A little information about me, I don't like my sweets being too sweet as I get a tendency to feel sick. Some donut places put too much sugar on top or inside the donut, but Sam's Donut Shop maintains a moderate amount of sugar while showing that donuts without all these toppings still taste as good. I'm very pleased with the prices, you're certainly getting a bang for your buck. I would definitely recommend purchasing your fix of donuts here! :) read more

Such good customer service, and sweet people running the shop. The breakfast sandwiches were hefty and delicious

My, I haven't reviewed this spot? I've been coming to this place for years. I do love the donuts here and my co-workers have been pleased as well. I usually come here between 5:15-5:30 am so there are plenty of donuts and they are fresh. I've ordered the ham and cheese croissant's for a co-worker and they said that it was delicious. I am happy with the chocolate and glaze twist donuts (my usual likes), doesn't leave a layer of lard feel on your tongue. They could use some work on their greet when you walk in and put money into their business. But, since I don't have to enjoy my donuts there, I will give them five stars, and I will continue to buy donuts here when convenient. read more

Often run out of common items. Donuts are just ok but the cinnamon buns are delicious. Service is plus minus and the place looks a bit unsanitary. read more

It's what you're looking for, bring cash. A box of diabetes for you and your coworkers. It tastes like diabetes

I walked in and walked out after seeing the owner who was sweeping floor and came to help me without washing his hands or putting on gloves.. also saw flys inside donut glass, I will not eat her.. not safe for me ... will not be back ever ?! read more

My wife and I visited and got some raspberry filled donuts and GAWD DAMN were they dry and stale. Them bitches tasted like ashy elbows. Also the guy I was talking to was so hard to understand half the time he was speaking gibberish. My wife literally threatened to divorce me if I took her someplace bad like that again. Almost cost me my marriage. read more

LOVE their doughnuts!!! The staff was so kind and helpful in picking some items. The buttermilk doughnuts, cinnamon crumble, and Boston cream were amazing. I'll be back and I'm sure my family will be too. read more

I've eaten an average of one donut a week for nearly my entire life, so I'm a qualified expert. These donuts fail to meet the minimum standard of taste and quality that 95% of donut shops manage to achieve. It's been 6 months since we tried Sam's and my husband and I are still laughing about how bad it was. read more
