Amazing donuts. I always am excited to take the kids in the morning on a Saturday. Always the most authentic flavor as well and always taste fresh. Customer service is always top notch and very fast service even while waiting for a hot cup of coffee. You can tell the recipes are generations old and inherited to the son and daughter of the owner. Never unsatisfied with any purchase I make there. Very happy they are still in business and only 10 min walk from my house. ;)

Delicious and photogenic donuts! I got the chocolate old fashioned and lemon-filled glazed donuts and both were yummy. I also included a picture of the updated menu because I think prices changed a bit.

Best donuts Ive had in San Diego or anywhere else. Always fresh and tasty! Prices here are also dirt cheap and the guy who runs the store is always super nice. Only caveat is cash only but that its a small inconvenience when you look at the quality you get for the price.

Gotta love this local favorite! Bring cash and come early to get the best selection. Very friendly family-run business who were there for the community throughout COVID.

Really lovely team working here- I ordered 3 dozen doughnuts for my team at work and the gentleman asked me if there were going to any children with allergies so that he could separate them- and offered napkins! The apple fritters are yummy and my team enjoyed this treat immensely. They were also wearing masks and gloved hand to touch the doughnuts and napkins- nice to see foodservice knowledgeable about cross-contamination. Highly recommend.

It is absolutely amazing to me that other donut places near here get higher scores than PQ donut! While this isn’t the Donut Bar fancies or VGs’s chocolate glazed — if you have sampled buttermilk bars at any other donut place I challenge you find a better one anywhere! PQ is consistent and fresh and simply knows how to make a proper not overly fried donut. Period! And did I mention the melt in you mouth buttermilk?!

This is the best donuts shop for crumb cake donuts. This is the only place I go for donuts when in town. I have tried crumb cake donuts in other donuts shops during my travels to other cities but none can compare to crumb cake donuts at this place. Very friendly staff and they have been in business here for many, many years. They would make me crumb cake donuts out of the plain ones when they have sold out.

A good standard donut place. The donuts look fresh, at least in the morning they do, and the prices are fair.I got an apple fritter for $1.50, which is a good price being the larger size one. It was made well, the outside slightly crispy and the inside fairly soft. It did have an oily aftertaste though.

Great donut shop with low prices for high quality. Cash only but thats the norm for good donut shops. Easy parking just opposite the door, which is just before the drive thru for the Mexican restaurant that shares the building. The donuts and cinnamon rolls are fantastic. Ive not had better dough in San Diego County, and there is good competition out there. The staff are friendly and the service is as you would expect. Its the local donut shop.

Simply awesome! The shop is family owned and has been in business in the same location for more than 25 years so they must be doing something right. I visit 4 or 5 times a week and always get extras for family and co-workers who think that these are the most mouth-watering & tasty treats ever. The prices are very reasonable, and the father, son and daughter are like family to me. Check them out soon and often. Youll be glad that you did.

Best donuts, bar none. Accept cash only: no credit or debit cards. If you want to make sure your favorite is in or need quantities for your turn at work, let them know a day ahead. They sometimes run out of popular items, early. Allow a few extra minutes during the morning rush.

Excellent doughnuts. These arent the abominations that you can find at gourmet doughnut shops for five dollars each. Instead, youll find delicious classic varieties with friendly and prompt service.

Fairly decent selection at less than a dollar a donut. I recommend the chocolate buttermilk donuts. Soooo gooood. Cash only is a slight drawback. Overall, great place to snack a decadent treat.
