Golden Donut — Restaurant in San Diego

CAUTION! READ ME!

If I could rate this place more than 5 stars, I would! I get up every morning to the start of a new inspiring day to feel and look great. I set my calorie goals and ensure I always adhere to them. Well, here I was minding my own business when all of a sudden I saw a man with 2 mysterious white boxes running out of this store. Worried that he may have stolen something, I do my part and walk in to inform the business owner of what I just witnessed. You have no idea what happened next. Some know it all, lady greets me with a smile and informs me that they have "hot" and "fresh" donuts. The audacity she had to just throw that out there for the world to know. She practically forces me to get some donuts. Let me tell you, brace yourself, they were warm and really good. I ate all of them and then went back for the turnover. They're monsters, I tell you. DO NOT TRUST THEM. YOU WILL GET FAT. STAY AWAY OR YOU TOO MAY BECOME A VICTIM. (Please note, if you or a loved one is struggling with a donut addiction, you can get help. Please call 1-800-BIG-BUTT)

Seriously, these are wicked...

Golden Donut on University Avenue in North Park is hands-down the best place to grab a donut on a Saturday morning. This unassuming gem has an irresistible charm that keeps locals coming back week after week. Whether you're stopping by for a quick treat or grabbing a box to share, Golden Donut never disappoints.

The selection is fantastic, with all the classic favorites like glazed, chocolate, and maple bars, alongside more unique options that rotate regularly. The donuts are always fresh, light, and perfectly sweet—not overly greasy or heavy like some places. My personal favorite is the classic glazed donut, which is the perfect balance of fluffy and flavorful. Pair it with a cup of their freshly brewed coffee, and you’ve got the ultimate weekend pick-me-up.

The service is quick and friendly, even on busy mornings when the line stretches out the door. Despite the rush, the staff keeps things moving efficiently while still making every customer feel welcome. If you’re looking for a local spot with delicious donuts and a neighborhood vibe, Golden Donut is...

If you’re looking for a place to make your drink completely wrong with a side of attitude this is the place for you.

I came in for a dozen donuts and a matcha drink. I believe I ordered #57 (can’t remember the exact number) it was a matcha drink over ice with NO boba. I got a blended matcha WITH boba instead.

When I went back to let them know and she told me they “did me a favor” by putting boba in my drink because she didn’t charge me, but her son still added it. Also, it was my fault for not specifying if I wanted the drink over ice or blended. Excuse me? If I wanted the blended matcha I would have ordered #41. I want whatever is pictured as #57. When they finally remade the drink I could hear them slamming things back there and my drink was 90% ice :(

I have been a loyal customer here for about 4 years. I always brought these donuts to all my company meetings and recommend so many people to...
