Savoy Donuts

Just average. Pretty much the same variety of doughnuts you will see at any doughnut shop. They’re good, but not deserving 5 stars. Second best doughnut spot in Escondido, but the size, selection, and quality of Peterson’s is far superior to this place.

Very nice people. They always are very helpful and sometimes throw in extra donuts. The donuts are very high quality.
I don’t like that it’s cash only. It seems like most of the true hole in the wall donut shops like this are cash only — it limits my choices (sometimes I won’t come here because of that.)
Overall good place.

I must have come at an off time, it was shortly before closing by but there was barely anything left.
Service was not the best either, very much an old school donut shop, nothing exciting really.
Prices are ok, I went with a coconut donut, it was fine, nothing special and not worth going out of my way to return.
Might be better if you come early in the morning as they close around noon.

waaaaayyy better than peterson donut corner. Savoy is a tiny shop in a quiet corner behind 7 – 11. they accept cash only. excellent customer service and the donuts are sooo soo good.

Best baked goods I have found. Every time I visit the Escondido area I make i make time to get some of these goodies. Visit once and I guarantee you will be hooked.

The best donuts by far. The owners are amazing and serve a happy smile and a good word as well as delicious, fresh donuts. Old fashioned maple is my favorite! Come early because they sell out fast. Great place to sit and relax as well.

This quiet little donut shop has THE BEST donuts in northern San Diego County, worth a little bit of a drive if you’re craving really good donuts! Their apple fritters are to die for and their frosted donuts are so good, they do not scrimp on the frosting and the batter can’t be beat! It’s owned and operated by a little Asian woman who is so nice and always remembers what her regulars like best. I have been to the ever popular Peterson’s and they are good but Savoy has them beat in freshness and yumminess. Be sure to check her hours as she is only open in the morning until about noon.

It IS truly the best donuts in town. The donuts are soft and fresh (always). The blueberry donut is perfect; it has the crunch when you bite it but still moist inside. Better than Dunkin Donuts’s blueberry donut. Owner lady is friendly.

Very friendly staff. They love when you call ahead for a large order. Excellent donuts, usually still warm when I get there. This place is close to home at Auto Pkwy and Valley Pkwy.

I LOVE Savoy Doughnuts, Always Fresh and the best I have every had. You have to get there early because they sell out every day. I have called ahead and they will save you doughnuts to pick up later. BEST Doughnuts in Escondido!

For donuts in Esco, Peterson’s seems to be the cool spot to hit up. I like Peterson’s, though I find their donuts to be overly giant and a little to «bready.» I think I’ve found a place that’s more enjoyable for me.
Savoy is a pretty small shop. I came in around 9:30am, and the selection was somewhat reduced, though there was still pretty to choose from. I ordered a maple bacon and a glaze round.
First thing I noticed was that the bag was warm! Second thing I noticed was that the nice lady threw in an extra blueberry buttermilk. That is some next level service.
First up was the maple bacon. The donut itself has a nice chewy texture. The maple frosting was delicious. The bacon was bacon, nothing wrong with that. Then I went after the blueberry buttermilk. I’ve had buttermilk donuts before that completely took over my mouth, but not this one. It was slightly crispy on the outside and nice and moist on the inside. Finally, the glaze. Though it was the last one, it was still slightly warm! Besides Krispy Kreme, I don’t think I’ve had a «fresh» donut before. I’m not claiming this was fresh (those could have been heat lamps for all I know), but it was a good effect. I think it could have been more glazed, but that is a trivial complaint.
I’m a little sad they didn’t have my go to (Boston cream), but maybe if I show up earlier next time.
I probably shouldn’t have eaten all three. In one sitting, no less. But I would have been denying myself a great donut experience. If I want cronuts, I’ll go to Peterson’s, but Savoy is the jam.

This is a great place to grab donuts for the team on any given day. Quick service and they have managed to keep the prices down. Highly recommneded

Savoys will never disappoint… except when they close earlier than you expect after they have sold every last donut. That’s happened once when I arrived about 11am on a workday. I was so excited to be able to try a donut from Savoys with my coworker (as it’s his favorite donut place) and then when we found out it was closed for the day… we made a bee line to the closest donut shop we could find.
So one visit later, the same duo (my coworker and I) went again but at 10am and they had plenty of donuts left (a few dozen)! The couple who owns the place are so nice that they treat you like you’re family. Every time we have come back (and they’re still open) it’s like coming to a family reunion. Extra special right there.
I usually get a half dozen of the glazed donut holes because it’s like having a bunch of donuts for the day when in reality it’s just like having one glazed round. Donuts aren’t oily, they’re evenly coated with glaze (of the ones that have a glaze), and they’re just perfect little pillows of sugary dough.
Cash only, as most local donut places are, and their prices are pretty reasonable. Try a donut here if you haven’t already and find your local favorite – shop local!
You bet your sweet bottom I will be back again.

Donuts are donuts but excellent customer service is hard to come by.
This place is small but provides a large variety of donuts!
Parking is difficult as it’s located in the corner of a busy business center but it’s not too bad.
I feel comfortable every time I come in as the patrons all look like regulars and retirees.
I especially like their painting/​poster that’s up on the wall –a vintage Las Vegas!
Get here early for best selection and to avoid a line and remember to bring cash!
I’ll be back for sure to buy a few dozen for my staff when we have a good month…

Awesome Donut place!
I showed up at 5:28am and it was dark. Two minutes later the cabinet holding all the donuts lit up. A man unlocked the door and let me in. Straight to the counter I went and immediately decided on the ham, jalapeño and cheese croissant, a chocolate buttermilk, and a strawberry cream cheese croissant.
I had a sweet and savory craving that only pastries could satisfy.
The croissants were still warm and flaky.
The ham and cheese with jalapeño was one of the best I’ve had. Usually, I ask other places to warm it up because it’s most likely been sitting but at this hour they were freshly baked.
The strawberry cream cheese was just as good but in a sweet way. The lady behind the counter threw in some donut holes with my order. Very nice people here.

This is it. The best doughnut place in all of Escondido. Leaps and bounds beyond that of Peterson’s Doughnuts (Which don’t get me wrong, they’re pretty great, too).
The store hours are geared towards the early birds, however you are guaranteed the freshest doughnut that’ll wake you right up. I’ve been here many times by now and literally every single time I’ve gone they throw in an extra doughnut or two just because. So in return I put in a couple bucks as tip, which really isn’t asking much because these doughnuts are insanely cheap for how good they are.
The owners are very friendly and really make you feel welcomed. I went there once a week for a month straight, then I stopped for a while. Upon returning, they remembered me and noticed I hadn’t been there in a while. That’ll make you feel pretty special. Especially considering there seems to be usual customers there.
Aside from amazing doughnuts, low prices and outstanding customer service, they even have some beverages to enjoy your doughnut with. I always get two strawberry milks to go!
The only downside I have for this place is that they take cash only. However, that’s totally fine because it’s so close to a 7 – 11 that it doesn’t matter. Parking is fine and despite not being much of an early morning kind of guy, the hours of operation are fine as well. Overall, I say Savoy’s has the best doughnuts in all of Escondido!

Husband and wife wake up every morning to make fresh donuts it was delicious this morning and every morning I’m never disappointed with the quality of donuts or service

They’ve been serving the area for a long time. Amazingly fresh pastries and it’s always a pleasant interaction with the owners. Worth squeezing into the little shopping center to get a bakers dozen for about $ 9. The show alway lights up when I show up with that little white box :)

First time I have ever felt compelled to write a review– that’s how good the donuts are!
Blueberry donuts are amazing (and often sell out)! The jalapeño ham and cheese croissants are my favorite. They fulfill a craving for something savory in the morning, not to mention they are HUGE! Half is enough but it’s so good I will eat the whole thing.
Even better than the donuts, the woman (I presume owner) is the sweetest. Always has a smile on her face and is known to throw an extra donut into your order, just because.
So glad this place is just down the street!

Quite literally the best donut place in Escondido, nay, in North County!
1) The donuts are always fresh and fluffy.
2) The lady at the counter is always to sweet and tends to throw in several free donut holes/​donuts here and there.
I have never left Savoy disappointed — except the first time I drove there on a Sunday and realized that’s the only day they are closed.
