VG Donut A sign that's hard to ignore
A sign that's hard to ignore.

There’s not a single key lime pie that I haven’t liked; I guess they must be quite easy to bake, or maybe just hard to mess it up. Only once have I sat back in my chair and said “absolutely lekker!!!”. That one came from VG Donuts in Cardiff-by-the-Sea, a community within the city of Encinitas. I tasted this at a friend’s dinner table and, since I hadn’t even heard of VG before (not surprising since I was new to the area), I made sure to visit the store soon afterwards. I crave donuts and have to force myself when I pass a donut store not to go in - I restrict myself to about 2 or 3 a month, so, though not very particular about donuts (again, it seems it’s hard to make a bad one and it’ll taste great to me just as long as it’s fresh), I do relish it when I find a really good one.

Looking good at the VG Bakery Looking good. Well, here's the view after a couple of delicious bites. I was impressed. So often the filling is rather sparce, and usually off center.
WOW!!!!!!! I took another bite, larger this time. An abundance of lemon filling….. how did they put so much in and not have the donut get all floppy or even start to leak? WOW!!!!!!! the donuts at VG Donut and Bakery are great

VG make it very hard to keep to my restrictions - it’s a good thing they’re 5 miles away from home. It’s not surprising that they’ve been voted “Best Of” numerous times and have been in the top five for the last couple of years in KGTV 10News’ A-List — the two bakeries that beat them in those years are not close to Highway 101, so I won’t be reviewing them anytime soon. VG is VERY GOOD!! They offer a range of donuts, cakes, pastries, cookies, muffins, bread and desserts.

A pleasant outdoor patio at VG Donut There’s plenty of space in the outdoor patio, and more room inside. Each time I’ve been there, I’ve had no problem finding a parking space.
