Star Dust Donut Shop — Restaurant in Imperial Beach

So. I had lived in IB for a long time and never really paid much attention to this little donut shop. Then, I noticed it. And then, I noticed it was never open when I drove by.

Then, I stopped and read the signage. There was this snarky sign posted that had the hours listed as something like "whenever I feel like it" and I was intrigued.

So days went by... weeks went by... a month went by... started to lose hope. Then I gave up, went home and never ate a donut again and cried. KIDDING! This story has a happy ending, kids! And that happy ending is, I was driving to work and was SUPER EXCITED when I saw the sign said OPEN!

I pulled up... ordered a maple bar, cinnamon roll, and classic glazed... and was sold after a bite of each! I saved them and took them home for my boyfriend to try like a sacred prize and he thought they were great, even after sitting around all day.

Funny enough, we ran into the shop being open 2-3 times after this, and we got fresh donuts a few times, and they were always great.

The baker/ owner is quirky and seems a little angry, but he reminded me of my Dad, so I knew he probably was a happy guy underneath. If not, he was still cool, and makes some awesome donuts. If you see the OPEN sign up, be sure...

Have been to this business on 3 occasions. First, a woman working was sitting in view on her phone for about 4 minutes ignoring customers. Second, the old man working the stand was actively putting away the donuts. I asked if they were open...because he was putting away the donuts. His response was "can't you read the sign". Third, the same man was working and when my friend and I tried to pay with a $20 bill he said he wouldn't accept big bills... so maybe save some $1's I guess. I've never had a store turn away business. Without a doubt this is the worst attitude and service I've ever received at any restaurant. The donuts are average and the service/attitude is awful. I strongly recommend anywhere else and buying a donut only the first time visiting is enough. Mediocre product with...

Best donuts in San Diego, if not the world! My parents and grandparents have been coming here since forever. The two brothers that run the show take care of each batch made and take pride in their work. Some days they run out early because everybody wants some. So get there when they open or shortly after. I will take your donuts from you if you ain't around. Peanut butter and chocolate donut is a great one. Same with the German chocolate. Maple bar is great. Honestly, it's all dank. Just get there early. Or I'll take...
