Donuts are incredible. WAY BETTER than the other place. iykyk. You know. 17 dollars out the door for a dozen donuts, filled, bars old fashioned, powdered, glaze, chocolate with sprinkles, they are all delicious. Have yourself 1.

As a donut connaisseur, this place might have the best powdered donuts I’ve ever had. So soft and fluffy, sweet, full of flavor! Already visited 3-4 times in 1 week… rip gym progress. Also, the girl that helped me today around 2pm is so cute… been so long since I’ve talked to a girl so I kinda choked asking her name, lol 😆. Who knows, maybe if the stars align… but that’s a story for another time though my dear readers, stay blessed, get a donut, and enjoy life… unlike traffic in SD, it’s not very long. 🤙🏽

Me and my family have been going here for years. The lady that I think owns the place is so nice. She would give me and my friends donut holes just for stopping in. When I got older and actually had some money in my pocket, I made sure whenever I was back in town to stop by and take my business there. You can order 1 donut and she will add 3 or 4 extra donut holes, free of charge. I always check in to see if this place is still around, considering Krispy Kreme thought it would be a good idea to just add their store literally across the street. Kind of scummy if you think about it. If you're looking to get donuts, go to Sesame.

I have been coming here for over 20 years. I have such fond memories of Mr. and Mrs Kim smiling as my daughters excitedly picked out their donut flavors. The blueberry donut holes are what really got me hooked. Here’s a picture of me and Mrs Kim

Absolutely delicious! The dough is so soft and has a good chew, very good donuts. Very sweet people at the front assisting, they’re pros and know what they’re doing here. The Boston creme is the best Boston creme donut ever.

I have yet to find a better donut shop anywhere. They are simply, the best donuts in San Diego! Sesame Donuts is one of the very very few things I miss in San Diego. I have never been disappointed here.

Delicious donuts, best in SD in my opinion. Seems like they are always open. Left the bar at 2am and grabbed some donut holes. They have a huge variety and the coffee is good too. I believe they have breakfast sandwiches but its not obvious cause theres no menu. Very small place, mom & pop shop.

Freshly made and you can taste it. Local business and better prized than Krispy Kreme next door. Brought half a dozen to a home inspection and they were a hit!
