Copper Top Coffee & Donuts

Found this place near Pacific Terrace and it's a gem. My wife, the coffee snob, loved the java and both of us enjoyed the made-to-order donuts.They are served warm like a Krispy Kreme but has the doughy bite and a tasty sourdough vibe of a classic donut that balances well with the sweet toppings. I got the curious george and was pleasantly surprised that it wasn't too sweet even with maple drizzle, & banana. The service was great too! Highly recommend!

Overrated not impressed at all Cute placeVery cozy Great service Coffee average Donuts below average

Came here around 9am with my brother. There's no parking lot-- only street parking so it can be hit or miss since it's in Pacific Beach. There was a line, but it moved quickly. The donuts are fresh and made to order. They are the size of my palm which I think is great for eating. I had it for breakfast. They were $3.25 each. I ordered the celebration donut which has raspberry jam, powdered sugar, and vanilla frosting. I really enjoyed this classic flavor since it was reminiscent of a jelly filled donut. The donut itself wasn't sweet at all therefore it was a great base for the toppings. The vanilla frosting was smooth and sweet. The raspberry jam was nice and tart -- I wish there was more of this on the donut! (Compared to the photo online it was lacking). My brother ordered 3 donuts. He had the Copper Top (maple frosting, espresso caramel, and dusted with espresso), U-Bae (ube frosting and toasted coconut), and the Sunday Morning Cartoons (homemade vanilla frosting and fruity pebbles). He love the fruity pebbles one. It reminded me of my childhood. The Copper Top was not sweet at all compared to the other two. It was enjoyable although it was lacking in flavor for the espresso caramel--I wish it had a deeper flavor. The maple frosting really came through. The U-Bae was overly sweet with a hint of ube. I wouldn't get this again. My brother said that the coconut flakes were really dry and tasted like they were old. Copper Top also does coffee. It's nothing special, but they nailed the flavor (syrup, I think it's made in house)! I got the iced salted caramel and loved that the salt part was prominent. It was about $6.25 for a medium sized cup. My brother got the iced white mocha macadamia latte with almond milk. He said was average but tasty to have with the donuts. Overall they were fulfilling and delicious. Hot and made fresh to order, the prices were really great. We would come back here again to try different flavors! Great for morning breakfast or snacks.

Top-notch customer service. The young man and young lady working there were so friendly. They had smiles on their face and greeted everybody. This is what you would call a lost art. This young teenage couple or employees if you will, they really had the right attitude. Just the nicest people ever.Food: the donuts are freshly made to order. What a great concert. They're not just sitting under a heat lamp like the competitors. They make them fresh right when you order them and dress them right there in front of you. The glaze donut was phenomenal. Everything was so good. We will definitely come back. I wish they had these in Houston Texas. I wonder if they'd be interested in putting our franchise here in Houston or Austin Texas.I will definitely come back here next time I'm in the area. Thanks again. Five star review.

we got the copper top donut and it was so fluffy and yummy! the inside is cozy and cute, would be a nice place to chill in PB. BENJAMIN SERVED and will answer all the questions you have :)

Coffee was amazing! Best I've had in a while and the donuts were also very good and made to order so definitely fresh! Worth a try for sure. Also the staff is very friendly so that's a plus.

Amazing Salted Caramel Latte & the freshest donuts I've ever had made a morning trip to the airport so much better! Josh was so kind and helpful

Visited here this morning (05/17/2024) with my boo. It smells so good upon entering! It's a chill vibe and clean interior. Love that they have pillows which are so helpful for people who have difficulty sitting on firm surfaces. The girl behind the counter is quick to greet you. The donuts are made to order, which is awesome. Less waste, fresh and delicious, and warm. We had a tough time figuring out which donuts to try. Originally we were going to choose three but we wound up with four with the free donut coupon we lucked out on! All of the donuts we got were light and not heavy on our stomachs. We still had room for more, but didn't! We'll definitely try to be back another time before we head home. I usually detest maple flavored anything, but I have to say that their French Toast flavored donut was tied at first place with the Everything Nice donut! The S'mores donut was meh, but still very light. 16 Candles tasted like a light and sweet birthday cake. The Copper Top is their signature donut, maybe next time we'll give it a go. The Mexican Mocha was good, but lacking in spices. Personally, I'd either revamp it or remove it or change the name to match it better. My boo and I mixed up our drinks after the photoshoot (see pics). Both the almond milk and whole milk versions tasted exactly the same. Hopefully we picked right in the end.Happy eats!

Such a great spot in pacific beach. They offer fresh-made donuts and specialize in making their own ingredients like marshmallows and caramel syrup. The owner is super nice and the staff is so friendly. Their customer service is unmatched! Will be coming back more to explore the menu.

Cooper Top is a great small no frills coffee and donut place that had amazing donuts. I got the "pretty in pink" donut as well as my brother and they were great. The fluffy and airy dough was devine. The frosting was sweet and good as well. The service was great talking to one of the workers there and learning more about San Diego was great. Overall Copper Top was a great small shop for breakfast and I would recommend going here.
