T K Doughnut — Restaurant in San Diego

Short Review: Light, airy, moist donuts with just the right amount of topping and filling. Reasonably priced. Definitely worth it.

Longer version: My son and I go on donut adventures to check out shops we've never been to. Spending Christmas week with family in San Diego, we looked for the best rated shop and went to visit. Road construction made it difficult to get to, but we finally found our way to a small strip mall storefront. There is no seating and the dingy coolers of milk and other bottled drinks look like they've seen better days. The counter looks like it was built for defense, but it had a plexiglass case with about three dozen varieties of good looking donuts showing.

We ordered a variety of raised, cake, and fancy donuts to try. They were all very good!

I started with a maple bar covered with a strip of bacon. I said to my son that I was always disappointed by the bacon on maple bars because it needs to be crisp but gets soggy when it sits on the icing for a bit. Then I ate this one and found myself pleasantly surprised. The bacon wasn't crisp but it wasn't soggy either. It was pretty close to perfect, and the raised donut base was just right.

A cake donut with strawberry icing and sprinkles was delicious and moist. A lemon-filled had just the right amount of delicious pudding and wasn't overglazed like most places do. A chocolate old fashioned was also about as close to the best texture and fudge topping combination as you can get.

We were impressed, and it's pretty tough to impress us with donuts.

I was sad they didn't have a bear claw to try. I forgot to ask if that was because they had sold out or if they just don't do bear claws. Regardless, there was a good selection to choose from, and every one we...

After living across the street for over 3 years I can honestly say this became a regular stop for me. Id leave for work at 5 am and anytime there's was a dollar in my pocket I contemplate walking in for something to munch on. The Chocolate Peanut Donuts are BOMB as are the Cinnamon Rolls and you can never go wrong with some Donut Holes. I have yet to have a bad donut from here but I've come in later in the day a few times and its been slim pickings. They also only take cash which sucks, I can't tell you how many times I've walked up only to reach in my wallet and notice I only had my credit card. That being said, I don't think I'll ever buy 7-11 donuts again with this place just a walk across the street.

Its still a lil hole in the wall but the owners are friendly the prices are low and their open at the crack of dawn. It may not look like much but the donuts are well worth...
