The employees were very nice and helpful in recommending different donuts. It was very clean inside and outside both in front of the store and in the picnic area. The employee that took care of my order took care of me in a timely manner. Some of the donuts I bought were a little hard and stale though. read more

i bought a ham and cheese croissant and it was burned and salty brought it back and the rude hispanic cashier gave me another. I drove away and then discovered that the replacement was burn and over salty and got a refund. from the silver head earth mom manager made a comment that others liked their crossaints burnt, She refused to remove the bad products and turned it around to make it look like it was my fault, Her service was horrible and I instead of dealing with poor service and products I was made to look like a diva and I am not happy with their way of talking behind customers backs, Another time the hispanic cashier said to come up and she would help me out and when I came up I was told I was out of line by someone and to go back. This made me look like a line jumper and I just walked out. read more

This place is great, I've gone several times and I love that they have a deli option for sandwiches and wraps because sometimes I need a real meal before I eat my dessert. The donuts are always delicious, never had any complaints. The service has always been friendly. I always stop by here if I need a quick bite to while in Lakeside. read more

Always a pleasure to go to the best donuts in San Diego!!!! Love me some Mary's..... service is A-1

Mary's is the best. 24hr donut shop whose quality is consistently top notch. Love to bring in the kids. The employees are friendly and helpful, and they always seem to have something new and special to try. This time it was little mini donuts! Kids loved them. P.S. the deli employees need training in food handling. I've had them remake a sandwich on two separate occasions when they touched the trash can to move it in the middle of preparing my sandwich. In other words... touch the food, touch the trash can, then touch the food again without washing or changing gloves. The donuts are great. We'll just skip the deli. read more

Once you have Mary's donuts, you will be back guaranteed try the bacon, maple bars. Are there donut holes especially the chocolate

Great bear claws and all kinds of pastries I especially like the doughnut holes. I really liked how much time and effort they put into the food. I could taste the generations of family members who have passed through those hallowed walls. read more

Outstanding as usual, same smiling face I see and talk to every time I go in, made my day. As always, FULL choice of anything to choose from, all the shelves were full and everything was fresh. This was about 11 AM on a weekday. read more

Amazing deli with custom sandwiches and homemade spreads. Donuts are the best in San Diego.

Mary's. Is was a warm day with a soft breeze. I was driving through lakeside with the wind in my hair. And there you were. I wasn't planning on a donut. But, it was Mary's. The Famous Mary's. Flip a B. And parked the car and there I was. My favorite favorite donut of all time is a whipped cream filled donut. Many places have Bavarian cream or Jelly filled or ... but I like the sweetened thick whipped cream that's almost like frosting, but not quite. And there she was. Chocolate on top. And a dollop of cream to show me what I was gettin'. An ultra soft raised oversized donut with chocolate on top. I took my donut and soda (don't judge) and sat in the patio and read the newspaper that was laying in the table. Nice family with a couple of fun loving boisterous boys having a good ol' day soon joined me. Kids were loving it. Ma and pa looked all lovey watching the kids enjoy their treat. Awe. I want a sweetheart like that. Finished the donut and the day's paper and went back to meet my clients to show country houses. Next time we will hit Mary's first to fuel up before looking at ranches. read more

Great tasting donuts! The sandwiches are huge! Covered patio area in back easily accommodates our garden club meetings! Love this place! read more

I live down the street, and it's sooo hard to not eat here daily. I haven't tried anything but the donuts, but what else does one need. To the average donut eater the difference may not be much but to someone who truly enjoys a great donut, no one compares that I have tried in San Diego. Perfectly fried, delicious, and whatever one you choose you can't go wrong. read more

Very good donuts. Best in Santee. Always friendly. Wish they had a true coffee setup, but I don't mind hopping down the street to get espresso based drinks. read more

I'm not a big fan of their sandwiches. But they do have really amazing banana nut muffins if that is your thing. The donuts are pretty decent, but i typically always go for their muffins that are moist and the perfect amount of sweetness. read more

Great first thing in the morning. They are open 24 hours a day but if you are looking to grab some donuts late at night, expect the staff to be smoking or vaping behind the counter and flies to be in the display cases. read more

I really love their donuts so we wanted to try their sandwiches. Got 2, the Californian (turkey/avocado) & pastrami w/provolone. They come with either chips, macaroni or potato salad. Yes, they do use quality ingredients and it was fresh. Our total for 2 sandwiches and 2 donuts was $45. Not sure if their donuts or sandwiches warrant the price tag for me personally, but they are open 24hrs. read more

Best donuts hands down!!!! Always so fresh, not greasy with the best flavor. Highly recommend

This is my favorite donut shop in San Diego!!! All of their donuts are so fresh and amazing. I even had them at my wedding!! And I have know several other people that have used for their weddings too! They will work with whatever you need or want. Stormy the manager is super helpful and just great. read more

I admit visiting Mary's Santee location on the regular, but I did not realize they had a second location until recently. Made the stop for a late night snack. Great variety of classic donut goodness that does not disappoint. They had my favorite bacon maple bar available, but I was in a blueberry mood. Their cake donut game is strong and very familiar to my neighborhood shop. They also have the other faves too, like fruit burritos, cream puffs, and delectable donut holes at reasonable prices. The only difference between stores was the soda pop dispenser. Both are self-serve, but this location has Pepsi, while the other has Coke...If that matters to you, and they have coffee and milk as well. Easy donut shop to find with curbside parking and an open lot behind the store. Enjoy. read more

Their donuts are so good. There is no one better. Go try their donuts. The staff is nice, makes you feel they enjoy your business.

I've been in a few times and the customer service is blah... I do like the variety but the taste of the donut itself isn't great. If you are in Lakeside stop by Country Donuts off Woodside. And their Acai Bowls are horrible! read more

I have had doughnuts from all brands to all sections of the city. By far the best ever!

Friendly service. Don't worry about lines - they move fast. LOVE their crème puffs. Sandwiches are excellent, but call ahead for them. Great location. read more

Just enjoyed the freshest doughnuts this morning--soooo good with my coffee!! I went into this store for my birthday club gift of 2 doughnuts and a drink and also bought a couple doughnuts for my hubby to enjoy too. Thank you Mary's Staff for the cheerful birthday wishes and gift!! I appreciate your kindness--what a way to start off the day. read more

Mary's donuts is an iconic part of San Diego East County. It's been around forever. Mary herself is off and there. They have lots of customers but they are really good about moving people through quickly. The donuts are very good. I've had a variety of their donuts and think they are all great. Their pricing is reasonable. And you can order a box of donuts ahead of time and it will be sitting on the table when you get there so if you're in a hurry it's still a good place to go. I highly recommend the maple bacon doughnut. Honestly the best maple bacon donut I've ever had - better than some pricey donuts I've tried before. Also recommend the raised crumb. Try it out, you won't regret it. read more

We came basically at midnight tonight and the gentleman working was so amazing and so nice. We have always loved Mary's and since we moved out of state it always a must to visit. And I'm so happy we came this late! Everything was extra fresh. read more

Mary's is our favorite donut place. I used to drive to Santee to go, but we were so excited when they opened the Lakeside location because it's closer. We go almost weekly. In the several years we've been coming here, we only ever had 1 problem, and they went above and beyond to make it right. read more

I decided on this place even though it's a bit of a drive from where I live because the pictures and menu seemed bomb! I placed a special order the Wednesday before a Sunday morning event. I called Saturday afternoon to confirm my order and was told they didn't have an order for me.. "I don't know what to tell you, we don't have it," they said. They seemed irritated with me and told me I must've ordered with a different location (double checked other locations and phone records, I had not made that mistake.) I left my phone number and they said they would call me back shortly and I could place the order again since there was still time. No one called me back. Sunday morning I drove to a different donut shop to buy donuts since it seemed like I had slipped through their cracks and there was a closer donut shop in my town anyways. I received a call that evening asking why I hadn't shown up to pick up my 4 dozen donuts. I began to explain that they had said they had lost my order and never called me back to replace it..but the employee hung up on me mid sentence. I'm always kind to people To people in customer service because I know how rough it can be, I was never rude or angry on the phone...so I'm bummed that I received that treatment. I hate leaving poor reviews but I wouldn't risk an order with them again given my last experience. read more

First time trying out Mary's donuts! Did you know that she still works here sometimes? Well not this location her other one from what I've been told, that's why I gave a 4 star rating since she wasn't here... jk lol, staff was nice, many donuts to pick from but I would say I ended up with the white frost and rainbow sprinkles and let me tell you that donut was way to dry.. I usually pick this one and at roses it typically isn't so dry, my girl got the soft bottom chocolate all over literally, on the top, inside, everywhere that one tastes fresher in my opinion, may I go back? Maybe, was it a favorite? Not so much, once again many options though and friendly staff read more

Shame on ruby and Mary for allowing her to be rude to customers! read more
