I don't know what magical angel came up with the recipe for these donuts but they're the fluffiest, stickiest, delicious bites of sugary dough I have ever eaten. I must admit I went originally for the cream filled one, however, I knew my boyfriend would love these and grabbed a few more for him to try, as he doesn't live anywhere near downtown! I'm a lover of donuts, some in my life may say obsessed!! These are hands down my fave in Sacramento, and the cream filled one, wow! I could probably eat 5 in one sitting! read more

Marie's Donuts - Donuts Near Me - Sacramento, California

I've been to Marie's Donuts many time; it's fresh, not overly sugary, and the best it's going to get in the Sacramento area. They're always cooking something up so it just matters how long you want to wait for your favorites. What makes them stand out is that they're open way later or earlier than many other donut shops. They have all the traditional varieties to choose from but don't expect the new fad to be here. Parking could be a hassle depending on the time but I'm usually there late at night or early morning so I never have a problem. The prices are very reasonable too. read more

I grew up in this area and Marie's would be one of the places to stop by before school. A guilty pleasure of mine is to go when they open around 9 PM and see what fresh donuts they have. This is a very popular place so sometimes the selection is limited. They also are part of the annual Donut Dash. There's no seating, it's a buy your items and leave type of situation. Pros: open late night and the donuts are fresh. The guys behind the counter are real friendly. Cons: parking is very limited. It's right next to Freeport Bakery which gets busy as well. read more

Had a couple good old fashioned donuts here. They have different flavors - strawberry, vanilla, chocolate and glazed. There might be more since we were here in the afternoon. Note: the parking spot closest to the business has the accessible ramp but it's not marked so just keep an eye out for that and if possible leave it open for wheelchair or stroller access. read more

A Sac Town Staple! This walk up donut shop has been around for ages. They focus on the basics: quality and the classics. Our faves: old fashioned, sprinkles, and apples fritters. *to note: there is no indoor seating. This is a walk up window only. There is some, but limited parking. But luckily, it turns over pretty quickly as people tend to grab and go. read more

Cute little donut shop! I love this donut spot! They are so friendly and nice. The donuts are always fresh and warm. They melt in your mouth. I don't come here as often as I would like because it's a treat for me (I don't eat a lot of sweets) when I do. I probably come here once a month. Cinnamon rolls are my favorite as well as the donut holes. My husband loves the chocolate bar and the Apple fritter and our daughter loves the maple bar and the blueberry donut. The lines are usually long but they go by so quick. So worth the wait. read more

I tried the apple fritter and the chocolate bar. Wow, they are hands down the best apple fritter and chocolate bar I've had, and I've had the best from the Amish. The apple fritter had a harden glazed exterior and it paired perfectly with the soft and airy interior. I was hesitant to trying the chocolate bar because I've had dense ones before, but wow the dough was so soft and light I inhaled it pretty quick. Definitely recommend that two. 10/10. read more

This is a landmark store. It has been around for so long. I think 1950's The staff here are very friendly. You can see them making the donuts early in the morning. When I crave a donut late at night or early morning this is the place to go. They make them in order and I think around 2:30 AM is when my French donuts are made. It's the one that is all twisty in a circle. There is no place to eat here. It's just a building housing there shop and you eat it on the go. Love their apple fritters read more

We finally made it back! Who has the best donuts..especially late at night???? Marie's of course. Donuts are always the best but to get them fresh! Yum!!!!! It's a little hole in the wall that's been around for ages! Trust me, you'll never be disappointed! They are so old school that they even have the old antique register from back in the day. Their service is always amazing too. The couple are so friendly and always happy! read more

Super fast service and the lady was very sweet. Minimum for card payments is $5 but I mean that got me two donuts and a BUNCH of donut holes, so you def get your moneys worth. Love that you can see all the donuts from outside and that it's just a lil window you order from. Makes it standout in comparison to other places in the city. Also all my friends rave about this place and the flavors. We've never had a bad one. The mural is super cute and colorful. Highly recommend for your donut fixes! read more

I'm not the biggest fan of donuts usually and might have 1-2 a year. I haven't been to Marie's in years but while driving 2 friends home at 1am one requested we stop to get fresh donuts. She ordered a dozen and the staff member helped with making the best selection, and was friendly and patient. We added a couple blueberry muffins as well. Everything came packaged nicely in a box and the staff member was nice enough to wrap the muffins individually for ultimate freshness. He offered a paper bag on the side so I could separate my donuts. This was a mistake as as soon as I touched the Buttermilk donut bar and realized it was warm I could not resist taking a bite immediately. It was heaven. Needless to say it did not make the drive to my house lol. Marie's is definitely a Sacramento gem, go get you some fresh donuts. read more

I'm not a donut fan but I do like a good apple fritter. I was in the area. It wasn't busy so I got a fritter. Huge, ate half now and half later. I only like them from apple hill and here. A small parking area. Lots of donut choices at a good price. read more

Ah, Marie's! We all have our favorites. My daughter loves the chocolate old fashioned donut. So here's the story. She and her forever sweetheart got married several years ago. Wedding cake? Heck no! Chocolate old fashioneds, beautifully presented on a pegboard. The owner made sure that the doughnuts were freshly baked and ready when we needed them. And there were a lot. Marie's helped make the day perfect. And now I'm craving an old fashioned from Marie's. read more

Marie's is my go-to donut shop because they are open early in the day, early afternoon, and late night. Whenever I get donuts for my class, they put together a "mix dozen" and my students love it. They are constantly baking so the donuts are so fresh. read more

This is a very good donut shop. Great variety and fresh.. Must try... Service was great..

Nothing more than a wooden walk-up on Freeport Boulevard Marie's Donuts nonetheless remains Sacramento's premier Donut Shop, simple fried Dough made the same way since the 50's still drawing crowds while So.Cal lines up for $6 hand-cut rings at places like Sidecar. Still family-run at 70 years old, low-prices adding to its novelty, guests are greeted with a smile by staff from 10pm until 4pm with fresh options made to replenish supply of in-demand items like simple raised and glazed or Bismarks filled with Custard. Cash or Credit over $5, the Coffee hot but no better than Folgers, Marie's selection ranges from Cake to Fritters and Crullers, the later a bit less airy than they ought to be but Old Fashioned Cogwheels faultless beneath Maple Icing slightly penetrating as a result of being added while still hot. read more

Stopped by Marie's looking for a coffee donut or cinnamon roll, but they had a limited selection. It was a walk-up building, order-at-the-window kind of place. We chose a few items and took them home. The staff was nice but not everyone understood "coffee donut" nor "cinnamon roll". We got a cinnamon twist and an apple fritter. Tasted just like every other donut shop pastries. read more

We visited after our lunch nearby because the donuts looked scrumptious from afar. Even at 1:30pm, they still had lots of selections available. The donuts were fluffy and soft. - custard: it was creamy and had perfect sweetness - raspberry donut: The raspberry jam was plenty and very good (not too sweet with a little tartness). read more

Tuesday around 10am. Maybe I came at the wrong time or didn't order the right thing. I'm not understanding the hype besides it being 24hrs. There are many better donut shops in Sacramento. I ordered what I was craving at the time which was French krueller, apple bear claw, Apple square (new to me). I wanted to get something I normally don't get just to test the quality and flavor. D+K off Northgate has the best French krueller. Literally melts in your mouth and airy. I would say their apple square here was decent. I didn't bother with their bear claw since I was so underwhelmed. Nice location and nostalgic feels, across from chocolate fish coffee and near parks. That's a plus! read more

Yes they were great especially the apple fritters and cinnamon roll. The service was great! The restaurant was clean and was nice!

Charming and tasty! FOOD: You can always count on Marie's donuts to be consistently tasty. I am a glazed donut girl. They are always perfectly sweet, a little crispy on the top and soft in the middle! Each donut is a nice size as well. SERVICE: Everyone is always nice and quick. They do have a $5 minimum if you are paying with card. AMBIANCE: This is 100% a take out location. There is usually a small line that moves fast! KID FRIENDLY: Oh yes! The kids love donuts. However, be mindful of traffic if you are going to wait in line with your kids. The location is close to a busy street and you have to wait outside. OVERALL, will I be back? Oh yes, this is a Sacramento staple!! read more

Apple fritter review #39 I have to review both the apple fritter and the apple square. :) Fritter Glaze: enough, 5 stars Outside: kinda burnt but crispiness is good, 4 stars Inside: moist not wet 5 stars Filling: plenty of apple 5 stars Square Glaze: not a lot, but enough. 4 stars Outside: flaky, not exactly crunchy but this isn't a fritter. 4 stars Inside: soft and moist. 5 stars Filling: plenty (without being too much). 5 stars I know this place gets hyped up but it really is excellent, I have to give the full five stars. Well worth the trip. read more

Apple fritter was steaming hot but next time before eating it I would have to squeeze the excess oil. I'm sure the oil will fill up 1/2 cup. it would be amazing if it wasn't so oily but definitely can't try it again unless I want to end up in the ER. service was excellent and the other donuts looked good but didnt get to try them since I was recovering from the apple fritter. coffee was great will probably go back for the other donuts read more

Overall Good Donut for a good price at $18.50 a dozen for non-fancy. Service was good and friendly. I would recommend people try it. It was my first time and the dough did not seem as heavy as other donut places. Considering it's a donut that is definitely a compliment. Parking is limited but you can get in and out. Go early they sell out pretty quickly!!! read more

Everything is amazing about Marie's donuts. A long time establishment in Sacramento. In fact as a child growing up in North Highlands, I always went to the Marie's donuts.

Food: 3/5 Service: 3/5 Ambiance: 4/5 Seating: None Parking: 3/5 Bathroom: None This is a staple Sacramento spot especially if you're looking for classic donuts. Although their donuts/menu is pretty standard and nothing stands out too much, the appeal to this place is they've been serving Sacramento for decades, have a very aesthetic outside, and also are open very late everyday. There is limited free parking in the small, private lot but you could try street parking in the nearby neighborhood. This is a walk-up establishment where you grab your food and go, so no seating and no bathroom available. The donuts were pretty standard and they had all the classic flavors from glazed to custard filled. Overall, a great place to quickly grab some consistently good and classic donuts. read more

We liked the apple fritter. We also ordered their glazed donuts holes but we were a little disappointed with those. They tasted on more cakey and had a flavor to them instead of regular glazed. Maybe we received the wrong bag? Other than that, I will still come just for the fritters. read more
