Devil's Dozen Donut Shop

Visited Devil's Dozen on a recent donut excursion. DD is located in Little Italy where parking is notoriously difficult. Luckily in the mornings, especially during the week, it's pretty easy. There's a small walk-up window where you can pick from their daily selection of donuts and/or order a beverage. The person at the window was very friendly and I was able to order effortlessly. I ordered a Mexican mocha to drink and a banana caramel donut. The cost was a little high, but it is Little Italy, so it was to be expected. The donut was good, but very rich. The same with the Mexican mocha. All in all it was ok. I won't go out of my way to stop, but I wouldn't turn one down if someone brought them into the office.

Popped over to visit this donut shop on Kettner Boulevard recently. We got the Homer donut and some coffee. The donut itself was a little dense for my taste, I'm used to the fluffier more airy type. These reminded me a bit more of funnel cake. Still tasty but not my favorite donut personally. Coffee was well-made and strong. I think I loved the branding and artwork for this place more than anything though! Definitely want to support anything devil themed. LOL.

I absolutely love this place!!! Right in the middle of little Italy, lots of places and parking spots nearby. All their donuts are SO GOOD!! I didn't know what to expect coming here but WOW. It's such a fun spot to grab a donut, a coffee and sit upstairs. The line goes by pretty quick and it is absolutely worth it to wait in! The staff is so fun and friendly! They have the best recommendation's. You're going to want to grab more than one donut each time.

I will say the donuts are delicious, high quality, and they're much bigger than an average donut shop donut but they are expen$ive. They have your classics as well as unique flavors like S'mores or Mango Orange. They also serve gluten free donuts and coffee with fun/seasonal flavors. They're also always very friendly. If you're looking to bring donuts in bulk to work, do your wallet a favor and go to a regular donut shop. You know the ones. If you need to treat yourself or a friend with a few celebration donuts, this is the perfect place.

HOW THE MIGHTY HAVE FALLEN Tragic News. Devil's Dozen no longer makes their one-of-a-kind, delicious, infamous, hella-worth-going-out-of-your-way-for TRES LECHES DONUT!!!???!! A desert famous for it's soggy milky texture, this donut was somehow able to retain the classic donut shape, while feeling heavy and drenched with milk and cream. And the bites were a perfect combo of soggy and crispness. A donut I've never seen recreated anywhere else. Definitely a calling card for this spot in a San Diego neighborhood known for great food.Now... Devil's Dozen feels just like another donut shop. R.I.P. to a legend. COME BACK SOON TRES LECHES.

Absolutely phenomenal donuts. Both classic and unique flavors! The lady who served me was so kind and gave me 2 free donut holes!! Super cute upstairs seating area and the coffee is great too!

The theme, names, art merch all rad. I'm here for all of it. The staff ruled; real friendly and helpful. The wait was pretty long for so few people in line, but it's hard to be mad at them. Coffee was good. I just wish I liked the donuts a little bit more. They weren't bad at all. They were just a little too dense and a little too sweet. It was a bummer. But it also would have been a real rough place to fall in love with in that location. Not convenient for sure.

I'm usually a simple guy when it comes to donuts. I'll stop by my local corporate donut shop by my house but this morning I dropped wifey off at the airport at 7am and had the day off so I decided to treat myself to a cup of something hot and sweet and stumbled upon this little donut shop. I almost passed it on 2001 Kettner. I threw the VDub in reverse and parked in back.I chose a hot chocolate and kept it basic with a chocolate glaze and vanilla bean glaze.They both were delicious! Handcrafted with top shelf ingredients. The hot chocolate was spicey, just the way I like it.My favorite part though was chilling on their second story patio with a view of the harbor.

Cute donut spot! Get here early as they always sell out! If you can get here on a week day you will have more luck skipping the line. They have a really cute patio up top if you want to sit and vibe. The passionfruit orange guava donut was my favorite. The chocolate raspberry cheesecake one was super tasty as well. The devils brown butter is a little too buttery for me. The blackberry banana muffin combo didnt work for me. The almond joy was just ok. Glad i tried a bunch of flavors. My favorite 2 were the ones i expected. The passionfruit one was soooo yummy. Oh i didnt try the caramel latte donut but was told it was delish!

Owned by the SDCM Restaurant Group behind Kettner Exchange Devil's Dozen debuted in 2015, a Little Italy address predictably generating lines that the shop's limited size continues to struggle with now.Narrow across the alley from KEX, a single window beneath the rooftop patio in charge of selling fried Dough plus elaborate Lattes to the Soy or Oat Milk crowd, guests can expect to wait, wait and wait some more while one guest has their whole six-drink order prepared even though others just desiring Pastries could easily be addressed in the meantime.Thirty minutes to move three orders, the online ordering system never once operational across two days, those with persistence will find the Donuts themselves mostly-well constructed, the raised options light and springy regardless of toppings while the Old Fashioned is unfortunately a bit dry.Prone to frequent change, Gluten-free choices available on weekends for those feigning an allergy, do consider the "Cosmic Brownie" if available as the Brioche ring marries semi-cooked Batter to airy Whipped Cream and Sprinkles.
