Peterson's Donut Corner

I’ve been eyeing this place for a while and the other morning I decided I’d grab some donuts. Parking was easy to find. I walked up to the stand and there was a small line, about four people in front of me but the line was moving fast. The people in line were very kind als9, making recommendations too me and just being helpful! They have an outdoor seating area with a menu posted to read while you’re in line. The donuts are listed but the description of the donuts isn’t listed so most people just pick once they got to the window. The donuts are on display behind the glass. I ordered a half a dozen and I believe I got a maple bar, another type of bar, a powdered cronut, a chocolate sprinkles cronut, a red velvet and an Oreo donut. The bars were delicious, the cronuts were a little messy but airy and worth it. But the red velvet and Oreo I could have done without, they were way more dense that the bars and cronuts and just seemed like the “kid” option. I didn’t end up eating those. The donuts were pretty long and tall also so I measured them. In the end I paid about $14 for a half a dozen, sounds about right for the size that they are. Beware of an extra charge on card payments, bring cash!

Peterson's Donut Corner is a definite go to spot for donuts and baked goods in Escondido. The donuts are fresh and tasty always. They have a great variety to offer. My Favorite are the cake donuts plain or maple frosted and the custard-filled donuts. Cake donuts are how I measure a donut shop. Peterson's are not greasy or overly sweet like other donut shops. The yeast donuts remind me of the ones my mother used to make. Service is friendly and prices are great. And it's a locally owned spot as well.
