Came in to check out Mary's Donuts great donuts, fresh and a lot of options. Grabbed some coffee and went over to Lindo Lake County Park to chill, nice little spot with water, birds, and a good vibe. I'll come back when I'm in the area. 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 read more

I love a good pumpkin anything and Mary's Donuts has the niche in making a very good pumpkin muffin. 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. read more

It's Mary's Doughnuts. They are open all the time. They always have a large variety of doughnuts, sandwiches, and coffee. Employees are friendly enough, service is fast, weekend mornings are busy, naturally, but they keep the doughnuts coming out fast. There is a cheesecake doughnut that is insanely delicious. They are usually out of them, but if you're lucky, there might be one in the refrigerated section left. SO good! Prices are on par with other doughnut shops. Again, always open! Literally 24 hours. It is convenient for early morning doughnuts or middle of the night coffee if you're going on a road trip like I've done several times before. Go eat good doughnuts and get free stickers. read more

I went today. It is a busy weekend since the rodeo was in town. I was surprised that every donut I purchased tasted like a day old donut. This is not the first time this has happened. read more

Was delivering some restaurant goodies to this Spot this morning, and I decided to get a donut. I love my donuts, and OMG one of the best donuts I've ever had! Stop in and try them if you ever get the chance. You won't be let down. Also, the staff is without a doubt super friendly! read more

I've only been to Mary's a few times for donuts. So today I came it for a sandwich and an apple fritter. Maybe it's just because I'm not a regular but all of the workers always act standoffish. Never a greeting when I've walked in. I take my time to look at the sandwich menu and the lady at the sandwich register leaves. So I scoot down, looking at the donuts they have. The donut cashier stands there until I ask about a certain donut in the case. She answers and I order the donuts. I ask, "Do I need to order my sandwich at the other register?" She says yes, but rings it up anyways. I get the California sandwich and two donuts $25.89 with tip. Asked for Jalapeño bread for my sandwich, didn't receive that, no biggie, I can live with that. Sandwich was a little bland. Plain turkey, provolone, mashed avocado, sprouts, tomato. I will have to add a little garlic salt and pepper to the other half. Now, I have been to Mary's before for the Apple fritter and it's been okay. But today, 12/4, my fritter tasted burnt. Not like a little crispy burnt, like burnt to the point that it's the only thing I can taste. Either burnt or they are using really old oil? It's hard to say. Maybe it was a rough morning for production but to burn, then also put out product for sale is never cool. I'd be more understanding if they said they didn't have fritters because they burnt them. Overall a disappointing third and last try at Mary's. read more

The donuts, donut holes, apple fritters and sandwiches are fantastic! Nice patio to sit on.

I've tried donuts all over San Diego county, and these are by far my favorite. From the standard glaze to the jelly filled they're unbeatable. A must try if you're in San Diego! read more

Ive been to Mary's couple of times and I always get apple fritter and a claw . The apple fritter had no apple pieces .. it was all dough and burnt. It didn't taste like the same this is the second time this happens . The claw was not cooked the dough was raw. I asked the cashier for a ham and cheese croissant or any of those told me sold out . Didn't bother to look but before walking out I heard another costumer asked a different employee and she told him they had some.. I was already running late I couldn't go back to see I was told differently . read more

Best donuts i recommend the cream puffs but get them early cause when they are gone they are gone !! 5

The stampede sandwich is amazing if you like it spicy. Had a cranberry almond donut that was amazing while waiting for the sandwich.... Sooo much good looking stuff. Be going back for sure! read more

We went there today for a breakfast sandwich but ended up with a Hot Patrami and a Bacon, Turkey and Avocado and of course the cream filled donuts. We get home and open the box, this pastrami and provolone has huge. See the pics. This sandwich was delicious. Mary's you are back in rotation!!!! I also saw they have açaí bowls which I'll definitely get next time. As always everyone was so friendly. Big outdoor patio and plenty of parking in the back lot. My husband just said "Mary's makes good sandwiches." We will be back soon!!! Thanks, Mary's Donuts read more

Mary's is an East County institution and they're always reliable. I mostly stop in for donuts to bring to the family on the weekends and they tend to sell out of the fan favorites quickly, but the donuts are good and the service is quick. I've heard the sandwiches are delicious and giant. Any time you stop in you're bound to see regulars chatting with the staff or stopping in to grab their pre-orders to take to whatever gathering awaits. If you're in the area and looking for donuts, Mary's should be at the top of your list. read more

Peanut Butter and Jelly Bear Claw!! That's it! Don't ask why! Just go get it.. or two! Sandwiches look good too but it's all about the Peanut Butter and Jelly Bear Claw!! Omg I almost forgot.. the have BLUEBERRY Fritters!! So Yums! read more

The sandwiches here are a good size. I know for me I was shocked to see how pricey their menu was but I think that it was totally worth it. I got the Veggie sandwich and my partner got a breakfast sandwich. I really enjoyed how fresh my sandwich was and the breakfast sandwich was very savory and had a good kick to it with the chipotle mayo sauce. I would come back here to try other things on their menu. read more

Recent reviews show how down hill this place is going. Went back for ONE freaking donut a few days after my last review. Two ladies again, older one with white/blonde hair on the bigger side and the other tanned with dark hair and glasses and also on the bigger side. They're about the same in every way. No greeting, no smile, wtf like it's a donut shop you don't expect much but at least say hi so I'm not STANDING there. And again I ordered one donut, she seemed annoyed and I was waiting for my receipt and she's all "you can grab it"???? Since when? Can't hand me my single donut, slides it across the counter, and can't hand me my receipt? Alpine donut shop gives all the smiles and my service will continue to support them with the freshest donuts. read more

While the jelly filled donuts are good. The other donut place my brother likes to go to actually puts more filling inside the donuts. And while Mary's seems to have a larger variety, I think I'll stick with the other donut store. One of the other issues with Mary's is trying to find a parking spot and depending on the time of day, that part is really inconvenient. Don't get me wrong, these donuts are good and if you're close by just go ahead and go to Mary's. read more

Doughnut Wonderland Extravaganza! Mary's Donut - where donuts meet destiny! The place is so welcoming; I half-expected a donut-shaped red carpet to roll out. The back patio is like the VIP section for donut enthusiasts - donut disturb, we're munching! We tried the maple bar with bacon bits, and it was like breakfast and a party in my mouth simultaneously. The apple fritter was so divine; I'm convinced it's a gift from the donut gods. But hold your taste buds, because we also tackled the Ruben sandwich - it's not a sandwich; it's a delicious wrestling match with your appetite, and the appetite loses. Massive, messy, and marvelous! The food is a steal, the staff is friendlier than a doughnut with a smiley face, and those donuts? They're the real MVPs. Highly recommend - it's like a doughnut hug for your soul! read more

This place is delicious! Best donuts and delicious sandwiches! If I lived here I would be here everyday.

What an absolutely fantastic place. Our construction company has been doing a huge job right up The street from here so we have ordered donuts dozens of times and they are great but holy smokes I had no idea they had sandwiches. I consider myself a Reuben sandwich connoisseur and this was the Absolute BEST Reuben I've ever had and don't even get me started on the "DIRTY" potato chips. Seriously fantastic. Oh and one of our guys had a breakfast sandwich today and it was unreal good he said. I'm a fan wow !!!!! Oh and great great service. read more

10/10 !! I ordered the heap sandwich on an italian roll and initially, I thought "wow this is pricey for a sandwich" but then I saw it!! Wow, it was huge. Enough for my husband & I to share and then have leftovers for later. The sandwich was 10/10. Definitely worth the price. You also get a side of macaroni or chips with your sub order. The staff was really nice too which is always a plus. read more

Biggest mistake... Started to go Mary's Lakeside after moving ro the area 10 months ago. I went 1st time and ordered basic donuts , Wow amazing and extremely fresh & tasty. So I decided a week later to try a deli sandwich, we'll that's was the hook! I have gone to get my sandwich & cinnamon roll, now everyday for 9.5 months. It's amazing quality and truthfully the staff of entire store are just as amazing and friendly. It's my pleasure to highly recommend this location to all that want a friendly, exceptional quality and caring customer service experience. Go Marys! Rod Deputy Sheriff, ( retired) read more

We ordered online via Clover, picked up the order, and drove home to eat it. $44 for a half rodeo purse, a messie bessie, and a half dozen doughnuts. The rodeo purse was awesome, but the roast beef on the messie bessie ($18) was past its prime and pretty sour. Also, the frosting on one of the doughnuts was cracking and falling off, and it tasted old. I was so excited to try the sandwiches since people say they are so good... but, sadly, I didn't have that experience with the messie bessie. It wasn't fresh. read more

Mary's Donuts has some of the best donuts around. Always fresh & soft. Their sandwiches are also really good, which was a nice surprise for a donut shop! The staff and owner are so kind and welcoming. You can tell they are a family oriented business and care about their customers. It's always a good welcoming vibe when you walk in. A true local gem and would definitely stop by if you're in the area! read more

I walked in for the first time and was not acknowledged nor was I greeted by any of the 3 ladies behind the counter. I have always been a little uneasy in the East county due to known racism. I couldn't help but get that vibe in this establishment. Finally, one of the ladies came up and asked if she could help me and I ordered. One minute after I was inside, a white woman and her two white children walked in, and the lady noticeably greeted her in a very loud voice "welcome to Mary's donuts!" with a big smile. As she did that, she looked over at me and gave me a side eye. I will never go to Mary's donuts ever again. Which is probably their goal, to not welcome folks that don't "fit in". At least that's what how they made me feel. Modern day, "whites only" establishment in my opinion. read more

Quality product and stand up service What I love most about this place is that they care a lot about their product ! I stop here about once a week around 3 AM when I get off work, and I've been doing this for probably the last five years. The gentleman who works at that time is always attentive. You can tell he loves his work. He always shows me the new flavors or catches me up on what ya changed ! I know he gives day old croissants to the local homeless and is very involved in the community ! It's just an all around good time. Also, the donuts are amazingly fresh for 3 AM and no one ever makes me feel like a bother. It's amazing what customer service and pride will do for you. Great establishment! read more

I've been coming to Mary's donuts since 2012 back at their old location in Santee. It's really great that they have branched out and have a store in Lakeside now. Parking is a little weird. They have a lot in the back but if you're lucky you can get a spot on the street I saw they have deli and breakfast lunch menus so I'll have to stop in and try them. Donut case is always impressive on what they offer but I usually stick through my usual order of a maple bar. I decided to get an apple, fritter and man are they ginormous! Honestly, the size of your face and they taste so good! The service is so quick I waited, probably less than a minute before I was helped by one of the employees. I've been to the Santee location at 2 AM and they're always still so nice and welcoming despite the odd hours. Makes me happy to support them throughout all these years and see them expand and grow! Keep on going! read more

Excellent! Great for your everyday donut stop but I've also ordered custom donut holes to match the colors of party's, as well as recently trying a sandwich with their new 'deli'. Oh my goodness I wish I had taken a picture for y'all but if you like and egg salad sandwich-- this is a place you MUST try. Soooo good and made with such beauty and care. Thank you Mary's! read more

The place is clean and well organized... and we enjoyed the donuts, but my issue was with the service. There were four people working, three girls and a boy, and the only person working was the boy. I stood there trying to get their attention (along with other customers) and the girls were just in their own world yapping together for no joke 10 minutes. One other patron spoke up and demanded service and then we finally got helped. I've never been somewhere where the staff avoided helping customers like this. Super weird vibe with staff giggling and joking while people are waiting. read more

Anyone in east county knows how great this place is for food and service. Everyone is always friendly even during their busiest times. The staff go out of their way to make your special orders extra special. The donuts and sandwiches are amazing. Everything is fresh and there are so many options. They have their own private lot to park and a nice area out back to sit and eat. Our family loves this place! read more
