    Maple cronut & donut holes
    Khamphone K.

    Delicious, Delicious, Delicious! My food and donuts are always fresh and taste soooo good! Definitely worth to try. Excellent customer service. They have soooo many things on their menu and donuts. My fave is their Cronuts.

    Sugar & chocolate twists

    I have been coming here since I was in elementary school. My dad would take me in the morning before church. Then as I had kids I took them there as they grew up. The sweet owner always remembered me- it was so cute. We have moved out of state but still visit once a year & every time we visit we make sure to come to TK donuts multiple times! We live in TN now & there are no donut places there like the ones we have in SD. We always get sugar & chocolate twists! Soooooo fresh & fluffy & delicious! We even went this year on 4th of July & they were open & even had fun 4th of July decorated donuts. We stopped here at 6am on our way to the airport heading home & got some donuts to take home. I pray TK donuts never closes- they are the best!!!

    This may be the best donut I've ever had. So fluffy and melt in your mouth soft and delicious. No notes.

    A great local place for donuts and Vietnamese iced coffee. Wide selection of cake, yeast, glazed, and seasonal donuts. Donuts were fresh, coffee was excellent. Quick and efficient service.

    Old-fashioned, strawberry/cream cheese, blueberry, cronut, donut holes.

    Wow these donuts really blew me away I showed up on a Saturday morning before 8am and tried the blueberry glazed (thanks to those for mentioning in the reviews!!), strawberry/cream cheese, a cinnamon crumble cronut recommended by the employee, and the classic old-fashioned. I liked them each for different reasons, though maybe the blueberry the most. And they threw in a couple complimentary donut holes, possibly bc it was my first visit. Everyone was so fresh, obviously sweet but not over slathered like I've had at other donut shops. Definitely recommend for a morning indulgence. Extra charge for credit card, if I recall correctly, 45 cents.

    TK Donuts is easily one of my favorite spots -- I stop by at least twice a week! The donuts are always fresh, soft, and full of flavor, with a wide variety ranging from classic favorites to artistic, eye-catching creations that taste as good as they look. What really makes TK Donuts stand out is the perfect mix of quality and affordability. You get beautifully made, bakery-quality treats at prices that are hard to beat. The staff is always friendly and quick, making every visit smooth and enjoyable. Highly recommend!

    Best donuts in San Diego! There, I said it. The blueberry yeast donut is worth a flight out here! They usually sell out of the blueberry donuts by early morning, but don't fret all of their donuts are special, my husband gets the maple bar every time, so so delicious!

    #1 egg, ham and cheese croissant
    Diana L.

    The staff were definitely nice! They were steady busy! There was always 2-3 customers in the store the entire time, foot traffic for sure! We came back 2 days in a row for her #1 (egg, ham and cheese croissant). Decent size for the price!

That's not to say it's bad, I think all sandwiches places should be as good as this was, but it just wasn't special enough to get four stars in my opinion. You have all the staples and classic. Your roast beef's. Your turkeys. Your ham. They also serve breakfast sandwiches which looked super good. There's also a handful for interesting combos which caught my eye. I went with the Pho'wich which has slow cooked roast beef, fresh basil, tomato, onion, cucumbers, house pickled jalapeño, hoisin mayo, on a buttered garlic roll. I cut it in half, added some chips and a pickle. It came out to just about 20 bucks. I was one of three people in there on a Sunday around 1pm and from order to my mouth was no more than 7 minutes. The jalapeño wasn't spicy nor didn't taste very pickled. The hoisin sauce i thought would smack, but sadly it didn't. I love hoisin but thought it made the sub subpar. It fell a little flat from my expectations but the roast beef was tender and the bread was garlicky which added depth to it. I would come back to try the others but I don't think I'll come back anytime soon. The inside was cute and fun stuff on the walls that captured my attention. Service was nice. Can seat maybe 30 inside and another 10 or so outside where I sat with my dog.

I heard they're going to start serving beer and wine soon as well! *Best 1st-timer options*: The Keeper (if you like it spicy) or the L.G.B.T. My favorite hot sandwiches are the Cali Cubano, B3, and The Keeper, while my favorite cold sandwiches are the Avocado Highway, L.G.B.T. (lettuce, gouda, bacon, tomato), and Caprese. My favorite salads are the Grapevine and Duck Cranberry. For sides I recommend the potato salad and tomato basil bisque. The aioli they use is to die for -- can't hurt to get a side of it with any sandwich! The restaurant is situated on the corner of Park Blvd. and Polk Ave. (more generally, it's on the strip of Park Blvd. between University Ave. and El Cajon Blvd.). There is usually a good amount of parking on Park Blvd. and Polk Ave., which is nice. The space has a simple-yet-tasteful modern design and interior, is always clean, with friendly and helpful staff. Great for lunch hour or a weekend date. Update: Came back today with my friend and we ordered the B3 and the Turkey & Cheddar Mousse sandwiches, plus sides of potato salad and cucumber salad, and a double chocolate cookie with pistachio and sea salt. Everything was really good, but the Turkey & Cheddar Mousse sandwich was the star of the show. The cookie was great too. We both agreed the potato salad could use some salt, but besides that it was a solid meal all around.

I parked in the alley in front of the entrance. I noticed they had security patrols by the building. There is a recycling center in the alley across from the bakery, it was busy over there today! Sadly, the coffee/smoothie bar was closed, and I settled for regular brewed coffee, some pan dulce, and a pollo torta - two out of four things I wanted to try. The prices are very reasonable here. I almost ate one whole pan while waiting for my torta. It was sooo good. The girl at the counter was quick and friendly. My food came out within 10 minutes, behind customers that ordered two sandwiches as well. I didn't mind waiting for made to order at all. The torta was gigantic! Lots of pollo, fresh lettuce, tomatoes, frijoles, mayo, avocado, jalapenos. The taste was omg. Coffee was also good, just what I needed today.

Saw their beautiful espresso machine as soon as I walked in. The staff working the register were very nice, but informed me that unfortunately they don't start serving espresso until 1pm which makes zero sense from a business standpoint, because most people want coffee in the morning. I am so disappointed and I will have to continue my search for a nice frothy morning cappuccino in Linda Vista.

I couldn't place an app order so decided to just walk in and order as it wasn't busy at all around 11a. There were plenty of workers. There seemed to be quite a bit of to go orders (maybe they placed online on a computer? ). The cashier said the app has been down for all locations today. I asked if it would be a long wait for a sandwich and she said no. She was friendly and ordering was easy. I was handed a receipt. I wasn't really sure where to go or sit so gave myself a tour of the place. There are alot of tables (inside and out) plus the a/c felt amazing even with all the open doors and windows. I thought the sandwich would be a quick order but I think it was almost 15min or so ? I wasn't sure if they call a name or how it's done so I asked someone at the counter and she said they'd call name if you didn't give a phone #. Hopefully the app gets back on track next time as it would have been alot easier/faster with an order of one sammie (esp before the lunch crowd). The Not So Fried Chicken sandwich was pretty good even when I ate it few hours later for early dinner. The extra slaw provided a nice texture and heft to the sandwich. The ciabatta bread was flatter than other locations for some reason. Del Mar is still my fave location bc the staff there is so welcoming and amazing.
