Super Donuts is a long-standing part of Carlsbad and family-owned business. The drive through is tight (watch your vehicles), but quick and easy. The shop owner is sweet and the donuts are traditional and perfect, especially for the $17 price tag for a dozen! (What a great price!) We gave him $20 and left the overage as a tip and he was appreciative. We had an extra treat of a few donut holes when we got home, so that was fun for the kids. Love this place! read more

Had eaten here before and I guess I had tried the wrong ones, because the M&M glazed donut was unexpectedly good. It wasn't as sugary sweet as you would expect from a glazed frosted donut with m&m's on it. It was so good I had to go back the next and get another one. Definitely adding this place as a new favorite. read more

Tried this place again hoping they'd upped their game but ick.... not good. The chocolate glazed donut was too thick and pasty, not light and fluffy. And the layer of chocolate was practically non existent. The crumb donut.... crumb donut? I don't think they get to call this donut a crumb donut. That means a donut covered with cinnamony thick toasty crumbs. This was a bland baked donut with a few sprinkles. I can't believe all the good reviews. Maybe I',m buying the wrong kind of donuts. Not impressed. Go to VGs in Cardiff. read more

Small establishment in the heart of the Village. There are only a few stools inside to sit, otherwise, you get it to go! Only tried the glazed donut holes. $1.30 for a dozen. They were light and delicious. I prefer more glaze on my donut holes, however. There were plenty of choices, but was in a hurry at the time of this visit. I'll be sure to stop back in if ever in the area! read more

Best. Donuts. Ever. And run by the kindest family. Love them! A few years ago I took my nephew on a donut tour of LA. There were some amazing options. But nothing compares to Super Donuts. The best old fashioned around. Cake donuts are incredible. In all fairness I don't like fluffy donuts like Kristy Kreme but my husband does and he prefers Super Donuts maple bar to anything else. We recommend the maple old fashioned, maple bar, vanilla and chocolate cake donuts with sprinkles. Our 9 year old loves the candy and cereal laden ones but I like to keep it simple. Grab a $10 and run down there now! read more

The price has really gone up and I'm not sure it's worth it now. When we moved here in 2017 they used to charge $12 for a bakers dozen plus donut holes, used to give a good assortment of what I would consider cute speciality donuts. We stopped by about a year ago and the price had increased to $17 for 12 assorted (no donut holes), no "special" or unique donuts, just generic mid-quality ones. Today I was disappointed, grated we came by at 10 so I'll give them the benefit of the doubt that all the good donuts have already been taken, but to be charged $21 for a very basic dozen seems a little ridiculous considering Sams and K-Donut charges $15 for the same mid-quality donuts, or $16.50 from nearby Krispy Kreme. read more

First of all-YUMMM. I came to pick up a dozen donuts around noon, and they taste like they were literally just made. SO FRESH!! I couldn't find parking (it's a little busy on those streets) so I went through their drive-thru. Super convenient if you're bringing your puppers along like me I asked for a mixed dozen, then after she made it I changed my mind and asked her to put three sprinkles in there. She was SO nice about it, I didn't dreamlike she'd have to untape the whole box to open it! Not only that, I opened the box and noticed she gave me 15 DONUTS + DONUT HOLES!!! All for the price of a dozen ($11). Not all Hero's wear capes thank you for brightening up my day Super Donuts!!!! read more

Donut shop with a drive through? I'm in! Stopped here the other morning after hearing about it and also countless times driving by it when bar hopping. It was hard to see if they were open or not at 8 in the morning as there was no movement on the outside so I parked my car and walked in. This place is PERFECT for carlsbad. It's tiny. There's a BAR. Yup, when in doubt- hit the donut shop grab your milk and chill out before the actual bars DO open lol. I found it pretty amusing, as instead of alcoholic drinks and bar food- this place was where the locals came for coffee and donuts. One catch though. They're cash only. I learned that lesson the first time and the second time (which was this morning) came prepared. I used the drive through which was tony and got a chocolate donut and a small coffee. I'm surprised they didn't ask me what kind of chocolate donut I wanted as I would've preferred either two of the donut holes they gave me or one large rectangular one (not sure if they have them). Service took a minute. A little too long for me- I had to ring the bell for someone to walk by and it looked dead inside. The you get guy looked and was nice. The older man seemed a bit irritated I rang the bell. All in all- the donut was good and I did actually enjoy the coffee. I'll have to be back. Maybe inside next time! read more

This is my favorite donut shop in north county! they have a good variety of top-shelf donuts (my favorite are the cream-filled toasted coconut bars, which the owner usually adds the cream to fresh after you've ordered it) and they always taste like they just cooked up. the seating inside the shop is limited to some cramped barstools at a low counter, but if you can manage to squeeze in, you should- its got a super chill local vibe and the owner is a cool guy to keep company with. or if you're feeling adventurous, you can grab some donuts at the drive through and enjoy them on the beach overlooking the pacific ocean on a still sunday morning as my boo and I sometimes do. This is a cool shop with quality donuts that are very generously priced and the customer service is great- they added donut holes to my last order as a surprise! This place is a Carlsbad staple! *make sure you bring cash bc they don't take cards here. read more

We happened upon this donut store as we were walking around the Village waiting for our table at a restaurant for breakfast. We fell in love the minute we saw the donuts in the case. There were at least eight different donuts decorated for Halloween with gummy worms, sprinkles, etc. to look like spiders and eyeballs. There are also many classics with a twist: jelly donuts with raspberry, lemon or apple; cinnamon sugar donuts with hazelnut filling, long johns filled with Bavarian cream or custard and covered with maple icing. All of them delicious! It's a very non-descript building with a drive-up window and a few counter seats. The owners were very friendly. I highly recommend stopping in here. read more

I ordered the honey lavender latte and it was beautiful. The lavender was subtle, the honey added just enough sweetness, and most importantly, you could still taste the coffee. My friend ordered an Americano and I stole a sip of that too. To me, black coffee is the real test. There's nowhere for mediocre beans or a bad roast to hide, and this Americano was smooth, rich and genuinely delicious. Then there was the donut. I don't even like donuts, which makes what I'm about to say slightly ridiculous, but it was honestly one of the best things I've ever tasted. I would come back for that alone.

In search of cookies.... I did a quick stop here on my way back from walking... great chocolate…read morechip cookies.... Service was good... There is a parking lot ... But for me... I walk everywhere in Carlsbad Village... part of its charm...

"Boy what you looking for? You know where them cookies are…read moreYeah, I caught yo' ass red-handed in that cookie jar" (Doja Cat) It's a tough call to decide what was better. The incredibly sweet woman behind the counter who helped us with a dessert order for a family dinner for twelve, the sheer beauty and variety of the baked goods in her store, or the 20 amazing cookies we ended up buying. The Carlsbad Bakery has been around for 40+ years specializing in Danish and French pastries, quiche, cupcakes, cakes, and too many eye-popping things to list. We walked over on a Friday and after talking to the proprietor decided that a variety of cookies would be the way to go. What wasn't easy was deciding what type of cookie, because their big chocolate chip, pistachio, almond, cherry, and peanut butter cookies all looked beyond amazing. We decided on a box of 20 mixed cookies ($52.90) and returned the next day to pick them up. My Sweet Lord, the box was as heavy as a bowling ball and was warm with freshly baked cookies. The intoxicating aroma penetrated the carton and filled our hotel room. When they were served at dinner, people's eyes popped out of their heads because they were so gorgeous. I managed to restrain myself and limited my dessert to one pistachio cookie that was fantastic. Of course, all of my cousins wanted to know where we found these amazing cookies. Thank you, Carlsbad Bakery, for such a fantastic customer experience. Your store is beautiful, and your product is extraordinary.

Super Donut is hands down the best donut shop in town! My kids and I absolutely love coming here--it's become one of our favorite little traditions. The donuts are always fresh, soft, and full of flavor. The sprinkle donuts are my kids' favorite, and the rainbow donut is always a huge hit. They light up with excitement every time we stop by. What makes this place special is not just the donuts, but also the consistency. Every time we visit, the donuts taste just as good as the last time. They're never too heavy, always perfectly fluffy, and the toppings are generous without being overwhelming. You can tell they really care about the quality. The shop itself has a welcoming feel, and the staff is always kind and quick to get us taken care of--even when they're busy. It's the perfect stop for a weekend treat or a fun surprise for the kids after school. If you're looking for fresh, delicious donuts in Carlsbad, Super Donut is the place to go. From classic favorites to fun and colorful creations, they've got something for everyone. We'll definitely keep coming back again and again! read more

Blueberry buttermilk donut Glazed buttermilk bar…read more Service The blueberry buttermilk donut is my favorite donut of all time. I haven't had one in six years and it was exactly as I remembered, absolutely out of this world amazing. I also got a glazed buttermilk bar and it was fantastic too. During my order he must have misheard me because when I left I was given a regular glazed. I went back in to let him know and he seemed a little annoyed and made a point to tell me he would charge me the difference. I would hope not, you gave me the wrong donut! They are cash or Venmo only, so be prepared. They offer classic donuts, but the real treat is the buttermilk donuts. If you go do not overlook them. They are life changing.

Very hearty and a great start to our day of relaxing.
