Worst donut buying experience of my life! I went there today with my son and two of his friends for a post sleepover morning treat.
I was buying a dozen and a half and letting each kid pick 3, then I was picking the rest for more kids joining us later. The lady helping us was listening to the kids and picking the donut they were pointing to when another lady came out of the back grabbed the donut box out of her hand and started putting random donuts in the box. I was confused and asked how many donuts were in the box and she said 13. I said how can that be, I have 3 kids picking 3 donuts there should be 9. She said she'd take out what I didn't want. I'm like I didn't memorize the 9 donuts the kids picked do we have to have to start over? She said yes and got a new box and put that box aside. What sucks is now they were out of some type of donuts the kids wanted because they were in the original discarded box. And now a line is forming because we had to start over. So the kids pick their 3 donuts each again from what was now available and I quickly as possible pick the rest 3 at a time making 18.
Then when I was paying she wouldn't turn the screen so I could see the price and was being cagey about the total. I finally got her to tell me the price $36. At this point I just wanted to get out of there and paid and left. But 1 dozen is $16 so the price for 2 dozen would be $32 plus tax, probably $36. So after being super rude and trying to force different donuts on us and then us not getting exactly what we wanted because they were out of sprinkles in the discarded box. They charged me for 2 dozen and not the 1 1/2 dozen that we got.
I will never go back to the scam donut shop again!

My wife and I love the chocolate old fashion. If they're out of them she always goes out of her way and makes fresh ones. Great family owned and operated.

Close to the grandkids house for a Saturday morning treat. Easy parking with a decent selection of donuts. We ordered a dozen mixed and added dozen donut holes as well. Kids enjoyed the sprinkles and jelly donuts. The donut holes disappeared quickly right before our eyes. Cost is about the same as other shops and service was great. Oceanside Donuts will be part of our rotation moving forward when we bring treats for the grandkids. Easy 4 stars.
In my search for the best jalapeño ham and cheese croissant in oceanside, this has been the best I've found so far. Always my go-to spot for donuts! The owner is always super friendly too!
