★★★★★ 5.0 Not So Rude Dude · Feb 2026

This shop is a community icon. When you’re driving by and you see that you have a choice between Krispy Kreme and this, it’s not a hard decision. Sesame donuts wins every time. The staff is so kind and very attentive. Their donuts taste unlike any other doughnut. And even though prices have raised over the years, no thanks to inflation, it is still well worth the money. The shop is always clean. There are always open seats to hang out. And you can get in and out in less than five minutes if you feel the need. Also, can you beat the store hours? I mean, come on. Long live sesame donuts.

I tried this donut shop recently. The donuts were extremely sweet — honestly, some of the sweetest I’ve ever had. They looked nice, but the flavor was a bit too sugary for my taste. Overall, it was okay, but not something I’d go out of my way for again.

Family owned, so friendly. The donuts are fresh soft and perfectly chewy! They are great with the children. They also have super mega donuts and donut holes and great coffee! Always fun to support local family, run businesses, especially the kind of caring folks here! We drive all the way from Encinitas for the donuts!

★★★★★ 5.0 Jess D'Angelo · May 2025

Sesame Donuts is incredible! With less than 24 hours’ notice, they came through with 20 dozen donuts for a staff appreciation event at my workplace. The order was ready on time, and the team even helped me load everything into my car. The donuts were a huge hit, everyone loved them! My only regret is not snagging a Boston cream for myself (the best flavor, hands down). Highly recommend!

★★★★★ 5.0 David DeBoskey · Dec 2025

OK, if there were a donut heaven--Sesame Donuts would be at the pearly gates! The vanilla cream donut is soft doughy ecstasy and sleek glaze twists/bowties are untouchable! The whole donut counter from top to bottom is sweet-heavenly tastes! Enjoyment eating these bad boys! Must visit if in San Diego short drive up the 15 North!
