SAN DIEGO (KGTV) – June 3 is National Donut Day and some of the nation’s best donuts are found right here in San Diego County.<\/p>\n

Friday, ABC 10News had a chance to check out the two local shops that made it on Yelp’s newly published list.<\/p>\n

“When you come in you get to pick a donut off of our 40 donuts, and then you get a fresh hot donut, it comes straight into the fryer, into the box and then into your hands,” said Broad Street Dough Co. owner Marianna Lacerva.<\/p>\n

The Encinitas franchise got started by Lacerva’s sister-in-law who owns two shops in New Jersey.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy father owned restaurants growing up and I saw him working his butt off every single day,\u201d said Lacerva.<\/p>\n

Lacerva opened the Encinitas location in 2020 and is now ranked the 37th best donut shop in the US<\/p>\n

\u201cIt’s huge for us because we didn’t do this to be in a competition, we didn’t do this to be the best. For us to get this kind of recognition it’s huge for us, \u201dsaid Lacerva.<\/p>\n

Meantime, Sesame Donuts in Carmel Mountain Ranch selling out by the second.<\/p>\n

Store owners Chin and Jenny Kim opened the donut shop more than 27 years ago. The storefront was previously owned by a friend of theirs from Korea.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey want to make a franchise but we say no, this is good enough for living,\u201d said Chin.<\/p>\n

Chin works in the kitchen churning 43 different kinds of hand-made donuts; which were rated as the 6th best in US making it number one in California.<\/p>\n

Chin says he owes their success to his partner in crime – his wife.<\/p>\n

\u201cCustomers showing up here one month, two month, and she remembers,” said Chin.<\/p>\n

Sesame Donuts is open 24 hours and located on 11040 Rancho Carmel Drive. The shop is best known for its \u201cKing Donuts,\u201d which are the size of at least 6 regular glazed donuts, according to Yelp.<\/p>\n

Broad Street Dough Co. is open daily and located on 967 South Coast Highway 101. They feature a variety of wildly unique creations on its menu.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
