Born out of a passion to help others and life with celiac disease, these tasty little creations will delight your tastebuds. I wanted better gluten-free donut options; in 2022 when my husband told me I should make my own fried donuts I accepted the challenge. I procured a donut hopper online and started the recipe at the end of February of 2023. By May, I was buying a donut machine and on June 10th, I did my first event. I did my second public event July 8th and met a business owner who saw potential in my product and my passion to help others. I was able to sub-lease space and open the doors to share my creations on a daily basis.
Chani's Donuts opened the doors October 28, 2023 and the reception has been nothing short of amazing. We love getting travelers from other cities and even countries. We have had people from various parts of the United States and Canada. To date, the furthest travelers were from Milan Italy. We are looking forward to growing and expanding to other areas in San Diego and beyond because everyone deserves a treat!
We’re visiting from out of state and were looking for a quick, grab-and-go Celiac-safe breakfast before a zoo day. Chani’s donuts were delicious! The tiny, plain donuts are fresh and perfectly soft and crispy, and then you can choose from a variety of sugars, glazes, and drizzles to top off your donut. 10/10 for texture.
For our family of 4, we opted for 3 dozen cinnamon and powdered sugar so we could carry them in a bag, but if we were here for a while I would definitely return to try the other options. These were really good!

Everything on the menu is GF and free from the top 10 allergens including gluten, dairy, and nuts. We had the donut dessert bar and it was so fun to mix and match flavors. The donuts are so delicious, crispy on the outside, chewy on the inside. Even the gluten eaters in my family loved these. The service was great, the owner was so friendly and lovely to chat with. We will be back!

This shop is adorable! The woman who owns the business was there with a lovely story to share and so much passion about gluten free food. They are tiny 2 bite donuts that are customizable with different syrups, sugar, and flavors. They are so delicious and I encourage everyone to go here!

This place is the real deal. My family is celiac and one of my little boys has a severe egg allergy. These donuts are FANTASTIC. The people who work here are also so kind and you can tell how much joy they get out of making these donuts for people. 10/10 recommend this place!

Eating so many of these tiny delicious GF donuts was one of the highlights of my trip to San Diego. I’m the one with celiac but my 6 year old ate a bunch of them as well.
It’s worth making a special trip for these tasty little donuts!

Delicious and a must try! Little 1-2 bite size donuts that I originally was going to get 1 dozen to share but ended up eating 1 dozen myself. They don’t taste like their gf.
After talking to the owner, I learned that she also has a bunch of allergies and totally understood all the cross contamination precautions. I felt very safe here!
There are around 10-12 different flavors you can get and mix them as much as you want. You can watch them make the donuts too!

Yum! Deep fried mini donuts. Great experience, had to taste all the flavors. Cinnamon sugar was definitely my favorite.

Not sure what the hype is about. It’s not that the little fried “donut shaped”pastries were bad, but these are not donuts. And really they weren’t that good. Very gummy texture. Didn’t care for the flavor of the chocolate sauce which has never happened in my life. Maple glaze was better.
If you think this is going to cure your hankering for donuts, I think you’ll be let down. Not for me.

Amazing! The service and donuts are top notch! My kid has Celiac so this place is a dream. Donuts are the item she's been longing for. The donuts at many other gf bakeries tend to be super thick and on the drier side. Not at Chani's, the donuts are light, airy, and WARM! My kid, her friend, and I devoured 2 dozen in a Matter of minutes, they were delicious. Chani's offers a ton of toppings for your donuts and the price is super affordable! Thank you Chani for opening up a fabulous donut shop that is allergy friendly!! You will be seeing our smiling faces often!

Fully allergen free donuts! The donuts were light and fluffy, very delicious and fresh! About 8 different flavors to choose from and I enjoyed them all. Agree with another reviewer that they're kind of like funnel cake you eat at the fair. I easily ate a dozen by myself. I also spoke with the owner and she was very friendly and helpful. Very excited to frequent this place!

Tiny little fried dough rings with sweet toppings that you choose.
Ingredients all in a 3-ring binder.
It’s the kind of place you can just walk in and order, no stress about gluten.
It’s like street fair fried dough. I keep saying ‘zeppoles’ to myself the whole time I’m eating them. If you know, then you know.

Went here to try it out and can I say the owner and her son are the sweetest. The donuts are really good! I’ll be back for more soon. They really remind me of funnel cake at the fair ❤ make sure to go support this small business that’s here for our community.

It’s like a really tiny, yummy funnel cake! Delicious donuts and dedicated gluten free facility! If you have issues with oats, there’s one topping you shouldn’t have. The staff was very nice and the decorations are adorable! Going to be visiting often since it’s been a long while since I’ve found a gluten free donut that doesn’t crumble and doesn’t make me sick.
