They also sell sandwiches and have muffins too. Honestly, the size of these muffins is crazy big like way bigger than I expected. I tried the blueberry cream cheese one and yeah it was really good. Definitely something I'd get again. this place has totally been here for quite a while so I would recommend reading some reviews and recommendations of regulars. This is my first time visiting, but I'll definitely come back. #LakesideEats #Donuts #CoffeeBreak #SanDiegoSpots #SimpleEats #ChillTime

I love a good pumpkin anything and Mary's Donuts has the niche in making a very good pumpkin…read moremuffin. The muffin was very flavorful and soft and moist. It was a little gummy towards the center, as if it needed a little more time in the oven, but it was still great. The lady at the counter was nice enough. She was a little rushed because of the line, so I got that. I did not see any inside or outside seating at this location as the one in Santee offers.

We were in the area and wanted to get some donuts. We pulled up, it is in a small business plaza…read morewith plenty of parking available. The store and plaza looked like they were stuck in the 70s. BB changed her mind when she saw the outside and decided to stay in the car. I ventured forward and was pleasantly surprised to see that they had my favorite, glazed buttermilk. I got one glazed buttermilk and one maple bar. Total was 3.50 for both, good deal in this day and age when shops charge 4 to 5 dollars for one donut. I ate half the maple bar inside the car, and the other half and glazed buttermilk a couple of hours later at home. Both were delicious. Should definitely not judge a book by it's cover. Would definitely return if we are around again, and may even convince BB to try a donut next time.

I've been coming there at least 15 years and never had any trouble. He's a very rude, mean man and I will no longer patronize them!!

If you grew up in Santee, you already know--Mary's Donuts isn't just a donut shop, it's a time…read moremachine. Long before it was Mary's, this place was Zona's Donuts, and at a different location. I can still remember coming here as a kid--back when there were live stock in the nearby yard and life felt a little slower. Decades later, I walked in, grabbed an apple fritter, and it hit exactly the same. That kind of consistency is rare. That kind of nostalgia is priceless. Let's talk about that apple fritter--this is the benchmark. Crispy edges, soft inside, perfectly glazed. I've had them all over the country, and this one holds its own as a top contender anywhere in the U.S. No exaggeration. But it's more than just the donuts. It's the feeling. The staff is always friendly, the vibe is familiar, and every visit feels like a warm hug from your childhood. Nothing flashy, nothing trendy--just done right, every single time. This place is a staple. If you're from Santee, you know. If you're visiting San Diego, this is a must-stop. Some places change with time. Mary's Donuts proves that the best ones don't have to.

I was in the mood for donuts. So we looked up a place near to where we were at the time. We decided…read moreto go here. The cashier was very friendly and greeted us with a smile. It's a small inside with one table and a few high top tables. I got a bear claw for later and an everything bagel as well. I was really disappointed in the bagel. I would say it took about 10 minutes to get my bagel with cream cheese. I wouldn't actually mind if the bagel was really good. I was a bit disappointed in it because it tasted like a store bought packaged bagel. The bear claw was decent. I didn't realize it was a filled with apple filling. That was ok I just didn't know. I do not see me coming back but the donuts did look good all in all.

If you ever had a 1AM "I NEED a donut" moment... just know I absolutely acted on mine…read more So yes -- I pulled up to Honey Donuts in Santee because when the craving hits, it HITS. And since they're open 24 hours, I knew I had a good chance of getting something fresh. Let me tell you what I grabbed: Glazed donut Bear claw Sinclair donut BABY... when I tell you these donuts were hitting?! The glazed didn't even make it home. Not even out the parking lot good. You know how sometimes you bite into a donut and it's just... air? Dry? No substance? Not here. These were hearty but still light, fresh without being greasy, and that glaze? Soft and perfectly sweet -- not that dry, crackly, fall-off-in-your-lap situation. Just melt-in-your-mouth goodness. And that bear claw? Stuffed and substantial. They are not skimping on anything over here. The donuts are a really good size too. At $1.75 for regular donuts and $3.00 for the large fancy ones, it's honestly a steal. Now let's talk service. Peter is SO sweet. Great customer service, patient, and he'll happily explain the donuts, ingredients, and menu if you have questions. That kind of hospitality at 1AM? Top tier. I'll be honest -- I'm normally a Sunny Donut girlie... but "Honey Donuts" just took them down and took the crown. If you're ever in Santee and you want fresh, affordable, legit GOOD donuts any time of day (or night), give them a try. You won't regret it. Thank me later. You're welcome.

No need to pass charges off to consumers where you can write those off in your taxes. Total of 4 stars. Paid a little over $5 for three donuts. An old fashioned chocolate, a glazed and a cream filled donut. I tried a bite of each and I was impressed. Fresh, soft and tasty. Inside there was no where really to hang. 2 small tables. One table had no chairs and the other table had 2 chairs. Very clean inside. I would go here again. A decent selection to choose from. Will try a sandwich next time from the reviews I read. I think there was just one employee there.
