Thompson Donuts is a nice, small donut shop located next door to Subway & near Vons on Thompson in…read moreVentura. Service has been quick the past few visits. They were also nice to me the last few times as well. Which is probably why I don't mind coming back if I'm in the area. They seem to have some new menu items. Savory and or sweet is always a plus... I've also been able to pick up some good to go orders as well. Which is definitely something good :)

I don't say this lightly--Thompson's Donuts is hands down one of the best mom-and-pop donut shops…read morewe've ever been to. We're actually from San Diego and were just visiting Ventura, and it's a bit of a tradition for our family to try a local donut shop whenever we're in a new town. I also grew up in a donut shop for over 30 years, so I'm very particular when it comes to donuts--and Thompson's absolutely blew us away. The service alone deserves a shoutout--everyone was incredibly kind and welcoming, which just made the whole experience even better. And the donuts? So fresh, soft, and perfectly moist. Every bite was flavorful without being overly sweet, which is honestly hard to find. You can tell they really care about what they're making here. This is exactly the kind of spot you hope to stumble upon when traveling--and then wish you had back home. We'll 100% be back next time we're in Ventura. Highly, highly recommend!

Stopped in for a breakfast sandwich and some donut holes. The ham and cheese breakfast croissant…read morewas a a decent tasty sandwich. The eggs and ham were generously applied and it made a much thicker sandwich than I expected. The donut holes were fresh and fluffy, probably some of the more addictive donut holes I've had. Service was friendly enough, nothing over the top but they make sure to give you the attention you need. While I went, there was a constant stream of customers, so they stay busy.

Oh dear god I'm not religious but JESUS! These are so good! Heavenly! Oh I'm not even joking. Next time I'm getting a dozen!? Hells to the yes!

I remember driving past Russell Donuts when I first moved to the Avenue neighborhood and seeing a…read moreline outside in the morning. I immediately turned around. That's always a good sign. This is a true no-frills donut shop. Nothing fancy, just classic donuts done right, which I honestly love. You order directly at the window, making it a quick, grab-and-go type of spot. My go-to is the chocolate French cruller: light, airy, and perfectly balanced. Everything is fresh and the prices are great. The owners are friendly, efficient, and clearly know what they're doing. They're located on a busy street, so street parking availability really depends on the day and time, but it's usually manageable. Their hours can vary, they sometimes stay open later or close early if they sell out (which happens for a reason). A neighborhood staple and absolutely worth stopping for if you're in the area.

I spotted this shop a few weeks ago on a Grocery Outlet run and have been meaning to try it. Today…read morewas the day. They sell lottery tickets and proudly display winning tickets on their walls. There was a woman behind me that told me this has been her favorite donut place in Ventura and has been coming here for 20 yrs. The cashier confirmed it been the same owner for 20 yrs. I got a maple bar and a chocolate old fashion. As other comments have said, these donuts do not have that strange oil aftertaste that some shops do. They are also sweet but not overly sweet. Maple bars will always own my heart so it was my favorite of the two but the chocolate old fashion was also really tasty. Both were soft and freshly baked tasting. They had some really large donuts and specialty ones but you can't go wrong with a basic maple bar or old fashion. Yes, the donuts are going to cost you $2.50+ per donut but just like everything going up in price, it's only expected that a small donut shop ought to do the same. I am more than happy to support local businesses especially when the product you receive is good quality.

Omg these are the best donuts. I love this donut shop and the shop owners that are always there!…read moreSuper friendly and Best donuts hands down

FRENCH CRULLERS FOR THE WIN!…read more My original review of this long time Oxnard establishment (been here since I was a kid and this strip mall had the Carriage Square Movie Theater!) was 11 years ago! Has anything changed??? Nope! STILL, the best donuts in Oxnard! Located next to IHOP & KFC in the Lowe's Strip Mall, the smell of fresh donuts with a friendly staff to greet you, puts a smile on your face and helps perk up your senses up properly! Often times there is a line in the morning (proof of their popularity), however, it moves quickly. Their donuts are well crafted, but there's not just donuts are on the menu. There's also croissant sammies, bagel sammies, & breakfast burritos if you so choose, but I gotta say, their true specialty is... THE FRENCH CRULLER: THEE BEST CRULLER you will have from coast to coast! I have not yet had something that tops this creation here! Outer shell has nice crispness to it, that is rarely matched by other donutteries, and yet the inner core is oh so pillowy soft!!! Mmmmm! The glaze and/or coatings (pink (strawberry because it's Oxnard?), white, chocolate, maple or glazed) are not excessively sweet. Such a great donut! If I could, I'd eat these every day of my life! VERY EASY RECOMMENDATION! Want a donut fix in Oxnard? This IS The Spot! Enjoy ;)

Super nice employees all the time. Anytime I have gone, they always have a good selection of donuts. We always find some that we like. They have a drink menu. They offer a variety of different coffees, lattes, and other drinks. I have not had their drinks. They do sound good. They do take card but cash is preferred. There is a small fee to use card. They have outdoor and indoor seating just in case you want to enjoy your donut and drink. Also great lighting if you want to bring a book to read. Overall, love coming here and find it adorable that my little one knows this place and gets excited to grab some donuts.

The shop itself is very clean, inviting, and surprisingly spacious with plenty of seating to sit back and enjoy your haul. The large selection of donuts and all beautifully displayed.

Buen provecho. D'oh.

I always love supporting small businesses, and K D Donuts definitely deserves the love!…read more I first heard about this place through my coworkers. One person brought in donuts from Rolling Pin Donuts, while another brought donuts from K D Donuts. To my surprise, almost everyone reached for the K D Donuts first! Before work, I decided to pick up two dozen donuts for my team. Within 30 minutes, they were nearly all gone. That alone says a lot! These donuts honestly have a slight edge over Rolling Pin Donuts, which has always been one of my favorite donut shops. Even one of my coworkers, who normally doesn't eat donuts, ended up eating two! She pointed out that they didn't have that greasy taste or overly sweet aftertaste--and I completely agree. The donuts were fresh, light, flavorful, and clearly a hit with the entire team. K D Donuts is officially one of my new favorite spots, and I'll definitely be coming back. Highly recommended if you're in Ventura and looking for delicious donuts while supporting a great local business!

Everything is always fresh and delicious, and it's easy to see why they have such loyal customers. I also wanted to mention that I noticed their posted hours may be slightly incorrect. Their current hours are Monday-Friday from 6:00 AM to 11:00 AM and Saturdays from 6:00 AM to 12:00 PM. They are also cash only, so come prepared! Support this local gem--you won't regret it!
