Honestly one of the best cafes in the area! Donny is a very kind man and gives his best with every coffee and food order! Been coming here every weekend since I found out about it. The food and drinks are always on point and never disappoint. Would recommend this for everyone to try! The atmosphere here is very relaxing and great spot if you want a chill morning with friendly people! read more

I have been coming to this coffee shop for some time now and just getting to doing a review. This is a very casual cozy coffee shop that has been here for years. We ordered hot vanilla latte and hazelnut latte and a strawberry banana mango smoothie and they were all delish! The cashier was very friendly and helpful with letting us know all the latte flavors and sugar free flavors as well. Amazing customer service thanks! read more

Such a great find! We came right after the gym around 8:30. There was a line but once you place your order it came out very quickly. The tuna salad sandwich was absolutely delicious and bigger than I expected. Had to take the other half home to my husband and he thought it was incredible as well. Also order "the Gus" smoothie which was also delicious. Will def be back to try some other things on their menu! Highly recommend 10/10 read more

A friend and I went here after our walk. We got some coffee and breakfast. I got their Trail Blazer coffee (green tea matcha, almond milk & espresso). She got their MSOB(AKA). For food, we split the Bagel Salmon and Avocado Toast. We added eggs to the Avocado toast for an additional cost. Worth it! Their avocado toast has a unique flavor than what I've had before. I was pleasantly surprised to taste lemon. It definitely added flavor. We enjoyed our food and drinks. Service was good! We ordered at the register. Our order came out quick. They brought our order out to the table. There's option to sit inside or outside. I'd come here again to try other things on their menu the next time I'm in the area. read more

Absolutely a local favorite. You can see the love from the line of regulars ahead of us. Donny himself is behind the counter making sandwiches and greeting people by name. It's a well loved cafe but felt very calm and relaxed with an adorable free library and family memorabilia. Plenty of parking with small private lot read more

Donny's cafe was a pleasant place to have a quick bite. There was ample indoor and outdoor seating area and the restaurant was clean and welcoming. They also had bird feeders hanging outside and we saw hummingbirds! Service was welcoming. And the food was also delicious and affordable! They do not skimp on their ingredients. I tried their matcha latte and was thoroughly impressed with the quality of the matcha and drink itself. Definitely would recommend visiting :) They've been around since 1995 and I can see why. They've been doing everything-- including their amazing customer service! ;) read more

This place was a cute stop before beginning our San Diego trip. I was craving a lox bagel so bad and theirs was pretty good! The avocado toast was just okay it was a little hard to eat because of everything just on top of it and it's sliced avocado. The eggs were a little rubbery. The employees were sooo nice! Super attentive and great service. I would make the stop for their lox bagel! read more

Searched "vegan" cafe and the place came up as one of the choices. Quaint, small cafe, patio seating outside avail. Place is just right after the trek bicycle store. Service : friendly and helpful. Went there looking for vegan pastries and specifically brownies cake. Guy at the counter said that the only vegan they have ( and they are out) is the zucchini muffins. Choices in pastries are limited from what I saw available in the small glass container . parking, cafe shares space with the bicycle shop. There's a bathroom is available inside. read more

Salmon bagel, 10/10 delicious and fresh. The location is nice with plenty of parking. This was my first visit as I was on the search for the perfect bagel sandwich. I will definitely return because service was very good and quick. I did not have to wait very long for two salmon bagels. It's nice and quiet if you're wanting to enjoy a bite or a cuppa. read more

I tried this place for the first time, and I was happy with it. I got the Tuna sandwich, which was yummy (although, it could have been seasoned more). The jalapeños weren't fresh (they were from a jar/can), but the sandwich was still good. I just wish that they had pickles. The service was excellent-very friendly people! The ambiance peaceful and small-I see why they have "regulars!" read more

Okay so the food is decent BUT: 1. Insanely expensive for a bagel! I think it was like $16 and I got the last everything bagel with the salmon , cream cheese ( too much of kind of drowned the overall flavor ) , avocado and tomato. They forgot the capers !! Salmon was kind of mid. That's the price of like a decent meal at a sit down restaurant. 2. Husband got last plain bagel with bacon , egg, and cheese for $12..he said it was bland. It did look very sad.. 3. Place is a dated and ambiance could use some renovation for these prices. The tables and chairs are all mismatched and the bathroom is dark and dingy. Got an indoor area and outdoor section next to a bike shop facing parking lot 4. Servers are friendly but putting up chairs at 1:30 Pm when it closes at 2 PM is a little unwelcoming so I ate in my car. 5. Now you got better buzz down the street which I personally think is better for the price , should probably kick it up a notch for newer customers read more

I absolutely love this place they have some amazing coffee but not just that and amazing pastries and food! And there service is TOP TIER love how nice they are all the time the have a smile and bring joy to you.

There are meals you enjoy, and then there are meals you remember. Donny's Café, nestled quietly but confidently in Bonita by the mall, is exactly the kind of place that turns a simple breakfast or lunch into something special--something personal. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted not just with a smile, but with warmth that felt genuine. And here's what truly blew me away: I had only been to Donny's Café once before, and yet, they remembered my name. That kind of attention to detail and hospitality is nearly unheard of, especially in today's fast-paced dining scene. At Donny's, you're not just a customer--you're a friend The menu is a comforting mix of homestyle classics and flavorful twists. The breakfast sandwich? Perfectly toasted, loaded with thick-cut bacon, fluffy eggs, and melty cheese--the kind that makes you close your eyes with every bite. And don't even get me started on the Donny's Special: it's not just a meal, it's a love letter to anyone who's ever appreciated a hearty, no-nonsense breakfast done right. Everything is fresh, the coffee is bold and smooth, and the portions are generous without being overwhelming. It's clear that every plate is made with care--and likely by someone who genuinely enjoys feeding people. But it's the vibe that seals it. Donny's Café is the kind of spot where the regulars know each other, laughter hums in the background, and new guests are made to feel like old friends. It's not just about what's on the plate--though what's on the plate is excellent--it's about how you feel when you're there. Comfortable. Seen. Full. Donny's Café isn't trying to be trendy. It doesn't need to be. It's authentic, welcoming, and unforgettable. And I can't wait to go back. read more

I had no idea this cafe was just hiding around the corner here in Bonita. This was our first time here and the atmosphere is very welcoming and homey. We got the avocado toast with egg (egg was huge!!!), a matcha latte, and a heaven's delight. The avocado toast was yummy with lemon pepper and the coffee is not too sweet and felt like a warm hug. The service was kind and they brought our drinks and food to us pretty quickly. I'd love to come back and try the lunch menu sometime! read more

I always see this little coffee shop passing by Trek as this is located right next to it. Decided to try it out this morning. I tried out an iced heavenly delight and a muffin (can't recall the name of it). Both were a nice pick me up at 10am. I hung out for a bit and noticed quite a few people here hanging out as well. Seems like a popular place for the locals. They have LE patches and fire department stuff hanging on the walls so they support first responders. I can say I have no complaints and will likely come back again soon. I think I met the owner at the register and he was super helpful and polite to everyone. read more

My friend and I were looking for a place to go for coffee and breakfast for ourselves and our kids. My friend lives near the border and I live in East County, and Donny's seemed like a great middle location to go. And, it has a lot of positive reviews. Based on the reviews, we thought there would be good spots at a table for us to sit together at, for our kids, to draw and color, and play card games. I would say the best part about this place is that the two gentlemen working behind the counter were super respectful and kind and provided great service. Aside from that, the experience overall was lackluster. First off, this seems like it's a place that probably has a big local cult following, largely among local cyclists (as an easy pit stop for coffee and a short break) and people of a certain religion. While I certainly respect people's religions, I would not have chosen this place to go to purely for the fact that the Christian music blaring over the speakers the entire time was so distracting and hard to hold a conversation through. All of the religious insignia inside was also offputting. The menu is incredibly limited, which isn't necessarily a negative in all instances but wasn't ideal for us. The latte that I bought was okay. The bagel sandwiches that we purchased were well done. The places to sit were not what I call clean or comfortable, they were purely utilitarian. Save, for a nice looking leather couch in the outdoor area. That said, I'd describe the place as a whole as utilitarian. I certainly take responsibility for my disappointment in the menu as I should have looked through it more intensely, but, as someone who is not religious (nor is my friend-in fact, Christians have caused us and our families harm), I wish there was some indication that we'd be immersed in a Christian atmosphere and a lackluster overall experience when going to Donny's, as we would have chosen a different place to spend our time and money at. read more

I came here on a whim on the 7th of June while visiting my boyfriend, and I was just grabbing a quick breakfast for both of us. Plus, plenty of parking. ;) It turned out to be such a delightful experience. When I walked in, I heard "We've been blessed with another day. Praise GOD!" and I responded with an "AMEN!" It created such a warm + inviting atmosphere. I was assisted by both Grant and Donny. Their lox bagel sandwich was pretty darn good! I'm glad they use wild caught salmon. I definitely plan on coming by again the next time I'm visiting my boyfriend and his family. read more

We are early risers, thus we are limited on where we can go - this place was a FIND! We had perfectly made designer beverages, and Lox with an everything bagel. The service was absolutely charming, the staff treated us like family. It leans heavy on the boys in blue or camo, so if you don't prefer ice in your tea, there are other places that I'm sure can accommodate. I'll return again, especially when I need coffee:-) read more

Still going to Donny's every day And the oat meal is the absolute bomb it's been put on the refrigerator the night before so you have over night oats and the blueberry's are great with a touch of perfect peanut butter makes it a breakfast delight that you have in the morning. Coffee is always great as usual just going very strong. Love it. read more

A great, friendly crew, very accommodating! A great place to stop by while biking in Bonita! Bagels are great!

I don't hand out five star reviews too often and even when I do see businesses that have five stars, I'm skeptical until I try it for myself and Donny's cafe does not disappoint! Donny, the owner, is extremely inviting and friendly towards all his customers. There are a lot of regulars that come here for a reason and even if you're new, he'll make an effort to ask for your name and have you feel welcomed. Every time I visit, I order a Lox bagel and a cup of coffee to start my mornings. The amount of smoked salmon inside the bagels are good for price that they charge. There is both seating inside and outside with plenty of parking spots. I'm sure this place will continue to be around for a long time! read more

The line was pretty long at 9:45AM on a Wednesday morning. It went by pretty fast. The menu is simple, lots of people in their morning routine sitting down and having breakfast or coffee. It's lively, but not overly loud. When I was in line, there were a few regulars ahead of me and the two guys behind the bar were so accommodating to everyone. I can see why people come back here. I ordered the Bacon, Egg & Cheese bagel on jalapeño cheddar, Bagel Salmon on everything, and a Heavens Delight with oat milk and no whip, all to go. I sat down and one of the guys delivered the food and drinks. They were cool and friendly. Would go back. read more

Yay! I'm their 500th review! I am not from around here & was looking for a good matcha latte. I tried a place near here the day before & was a bit disappointed. I looked up this place on Yelp & decided I'd try and hope for the best! When you enter the driveway, just be aware that it can be difficult to wrap around if you can't find parking when you reach the space near the entrance. Once you enter, you'll see what I mean. My tip: when you first enter & see a spot, park! I drove around & ended up leaving the lot & coming back LOL. Embarrassing. So the menu for drinks is pretty simple! I decided to get the iced matcha latte with regular milk. WOW! It was very tasty!!! 5/5 My drink was made really fast & tasted super smooth. Not too sweet, not too milky, and just enough matcha! Reasonable price for the size. The owner suggested next time I try with oat or almond milk. Can't wait to try other drinks when I'm around the area again :D Friendly staff! Can't wait to try the coffee & food :) read more

The food was really good! I ordered a vegetarian sandwich, which is usually an afterthought for most restaurants. It was incredibly good. Bring your vegetarian friends here! I can confidently say that they probably have the best vegetarian sandwich I have ever eaten. The service was very personable. While not having a lot of staff, they are attentive, friendly, and a breath of fresh air that amplifies the start of any day. The ambiance, being an off-to-the-side establishment, is nice and quiet, and humbly flaunts a history of service. Overall incredible! read more

Cool place! We got here a little before 1pm, and they ran out of bagels (probably a good thing for us) because we had the egg and cheese on a sourdough bread instead (which is a little more pricey than the bagel because they say the sourdough bread is a lot bigger), and fortunately for us, it was very good. They seem to run out things quickly, especially about one hour before closing time. This was our 2nd time coming here - The first time we attempted to eat here they completely ran out of all breads and bagels, so, it is a good idea to come mid-morning, and not one hour before they close, if you want to have more bread options. Also had the green tea Thai latte (cold), it was lacking the green tea flavor though. Will likely go for the chai tea latte instead next time. If you sit outside, watch for mosquitoes, there were a few of them. The five stars review is primarily for the friendly and quick service and the sandwiches that were superb. read more
