Love supporting fellow Asians so I'll be frequenting here since it's in the area! The donuts were fresh. No iced coffee tho so that made me sad. Breakfast sandwiches were on point. read more

Great donuts and service. Found this gem next to a great Taco shop. Donuts are very fresh and tasty. Becoming a Sunday tradition.

What happened to this place??? Just bought a dozen donuts (8 AM Sunday) and half were day old!

BEST DONUTS EVER! This is no exaggeration - I seriously love this place. The raised donuts are OUTSTANDING! Light and fluffy - they put Krispy Kreme to shame! The staff is super friendly and quick to get you out the door! : ) So even if you're running late to the meeting, swing by for a dozen to brighten everyone's morning! Pro tip: show up early to get them while they are hot out of the oven!! SOOOO GOOD!!! See you there on my next "cheat day"!! : ) read more

Wow Donuts - Open for business bright and early! - Donuts Near Me - Lakeside, California

This small business always has fresh delicious donuts and coffee! I recommend this place for yummy donuts and great friendly service.

I do like my Old Fashion Donuts and this place sure makes some good ones. I stopped by this doughnut shop after a hitting up Flume Trail for some exercise. I have to say, it was a good Old Fashion Donut, with just the right crunch, internal softness, and chocolate frosting. I ate the donut on my ride home and picked up a few others for later, including a croissant. They also make croissant stuffed with ham and cheese, not to mention the full compliment of common doughnuts. Good doughnuts and nice friendly service. read more

Not good. When I eat a glazed donut, I expect it to be light and fluffy. This place has super dense, heavy donuts. The icing and sprinkles fall off right away too on their sprinkled donuts. There are many better donut shops out there. read more

Oh man... if I could write 100 Stars I would. The donut holes are so unbelievably delicious!! So fluffy & light, with just the right touch of sweetness. I talked to the owner yesterday, and she said they are made with LOVE... and I say PURE LOVE. Sweet little spot. Be sure to check them out. read more

Oh my goodness!!! The donuts are absolutely amazing. I ordered a white cake, chocolate frosting with coconut and a plain buttermilk. As a bonus the very sweet counter lady gave me 5 glazed donut holes for my order. I sampled a donut hole which was light and airy and perfectly sweet. A super clean bite of no greasy taste or heaviness. DELICIOUS. Since this is a review I will continue on with sampling. Next was the plain buttermilk bar. A lovely light crunch on the outside and a silky light inside with a wonderful taste of buttermilk...again DELICIOUS!!! I am aware at this point I am stuffing my face but for the sake of this review I will force myself to continue on. The white cake donut with chocolate frosting and a sprinkling of coconut was AMAZING AND DELICIOUS as well. Oh boy...let me have a minute. (Light jazz music playing)......Okay folks I'm back. Please stop in and get yourself some of the best donuts I've ever eaten. Enjoy!!! read more

Wow Donuts - White cake donut, chocolate frosting with a sprinkle of fresh coconut. - Donuts Near Me - Lakeside, California

In my opinion, the quality of any kind of eatery is whether you would return after the first visit. I visited Wow Donuts for the second time today, and on both occasions there was friendly service, and delicious donuts. after having their old fashioned maple donut, I said to myself "That's what a donut should taste like." Two thumbs up! read more

Wow is right. Their ham and cheese croissants are amazing! Probably the best that I've ever had. Their donuts are all fresh and if you get there early enough they're still warm from the oven. Wonderful family owned and operated business. Definitely a hidden gem. read more

I'm bummed that I've never taken the time to write a proper review for these nice folks but here it is and it won't take long....for your to read it or find out that they make THE best donuts in the East County! A dozen donuts here is a bit more than Vons but they are much better quality, you are supporting a local businessman and they are geniunely nice folks. I grew up in the donut business (and have the fat butt to prove it) so I know quality ingredients and freshness. The donuts never leave a greasy taste in your mouth, they are beautiful to look at and taste even better and they even sell crossaints and muffins. The limitus test of any good donut shop is how the basic glazed donuts taste and theirs are pretty darn awesome! Pick up your donuts here and then head next door to 7-11 for your coffee...major score all around. read more

Before I walked into the door this place smelled great. I was there very early in the morning so there were no-one trying to figuare out what a donut tastes like. The worker behind the counter was friendly, smiling and pleasant dispite the awful mornng hours. My selection of donuts were fresh, soft and not greasy unlike those other places. I'll drive out of my way for this location again and again. read more

This place makes some if the best donuts I've had! I feel like the only reason they aren't more popular is their location. Note to owner: you may want to consider a second location closer to central San Diego because I can taste the love in the donuts you make read more

What a little gem! After going to Oma's Pumpkin Patch, I decided to pass by here for the doughnuts as a treat. This place is next to the 7-11 and is really clean and smells divine. Bonus: they accept credit cards including AMEX! Yes! Because of this though, the doughnuts are pricier than other places. 95 cents each for the sprinkled strawberry doughnut. But man oh man, so light and fluffy and just the right amount of sugar. Not greasy! Which is amazing because most doughnuts are greasy. Lakeside has a good little place here. Will come again if I'm ever in the area. read more

I've been going to this donut shop since they opened. The staff is always nice and welcoming, and the donuts are still delicious and fresh as always! Best donuts in town hands down. Highly recommend. read more

I went in here on a whim, holy mackerel! This is a really good donut. I don't know what they put in them but every different kind was just as good. The best part was after they've been sitting around a while they're still really really good, some donuts like Krispy Kreme are just good fresh, not they're good Wherever Whenever. read more

I've lived in Lakeside for over 15 years, and have seen businesses come and go. This place next to 7-11's had been vacant for a while when I saw some guys started cleaning it up recently. Looked like an oriental couple bought the place and opened up a donut shop. It had been open for awhile when I finally made my first purchase there yesterday. I usually get my donuts at 7-11's next door, but that day the 7-11 donuts tasted like cardboard. So I ventured in, met a short stocky oriental man, he introduced himself as "Mark". He was friendly, talkative, and instantly made me feel like a regular customer. I asked for a Maple bar and some donut holes. They were one of the freshest donuts I had ever tasted, soft, fluffy, and moist. You could tell they were just made. I thanked Mark, and told him I will return! read more

I been looking for a dunkin donuts. But this place is the only one closest to what I'm used to. Very good donuts. I highly recommend you try if you didn't already. read more

The owner and his family are really great with people, not to mention the Donuts are Really Good! Best place in Lakeside.

Pretty good little donut shop. Nice friendly lady working behind the counter. However the day I went in some of the donuts I got that day were a little over cooked. Also the are cash only. read more

BEST DONUTS EVER!!! My favorite is the Bavarian cream filled. The croissants are also amazing. Best donuts in lakeside for sure. Definitely worth a try. Not a very good thing if you are trying to lose weight:(( but for the occasional treat they are well worth the calories read more

Stopped by for my first time this morning. During the Saturday morning rush, they had plenty of people working and the service was very efficient and speedy. The doughnuts were delicious! The apple fritters were perfect. I'll definitely be stopping here more often. read more

Had a craving for some donuts this morning since it has gotten a little chilly these past few days. Found this WOW donut shop and went it. Boy was I happy I did. They had great selection of donuts, fresh coffee brewing, and smiling friendly customer service. The person I order behind the counter, his name was Mark. Very funny and pleasant person to talk to. Not only was the donuts fresh, coffee nice and hot, but I made a new friend. I haven't seen such great customer service in a long while. Add to that, I had the best donut in my life, nice and moist, and it hit the spot and filled my craving. Now I'm a diehard customer for life! read more
