Winchell's Donut House

This location is permanently closing soon.

Delicious late night Bagel Sandwiches!!!

I hate to leave such a low review for a place where the employee was so welcoming, kind and patient, that was clean and tidy and well stocked, but I wish I’d read the reviews on Apple Maps before I went in. I went for donuts, and they are utterly unacceptable. I live over an hour away, very rurally, and donuts are a rare treat for us. The few other times I've gotten donuts to bring home, it’s been from another place in another area but this time I decided to come through poway instead of that other way on my drive home from the city. Winchell’s was the only place near where I was that was open so I went there. The experience in the store last night was amazing, but this morning the donuts are so dry and not good my husband wouldn’t eat more than one bite. I got a variety of donuts and no one will eat them. Unfortunately, since we rarely get donuts, winchells will not get another chance even though it’s closer to me than the other place. Again, wonderful service, bad donuts.

The donuts are good, the coffee is good. The older lady that works there gave me the wrong donut after I pointed to the one I wanted twice. I ordered an iced coffee and got hot coffee.

Winchells never disappoint ,they are always fresh and they have the kind I love, French doughnuts. You can count on them being fresh

Bought a dozen donuts and at least half of them were stale. The ones that were fresh were really good but not much consolation when half your purchase is inedible.
