Received a box of donuts as a thank you gift and was so amazed how good they are! The donuts are moist in the middle but crispy on the outside. They are all placed so nicely in the box and the flavor is incredible. I've had some bad donuts in my time and these are not it! Don't miss out and go check them out! read more

Tried this spot out today to grab some donuts for work. I am usually a cream filled chocolate donut eater. I tried one of theirs and it sufficed. This appears to be direct competition to Mary's Donuts. Mary's appears to have more choices but this is still a pretty good option and Pink's dozen donuts seemed slightly cheaper. read more

Ran into this donut place for a fast breakfast. The lady was very nice and I got an apple fritter, it was delicious!

Donuts were really good. And the lady at the counter was super nice. I just had your basic donuts but they did the job and were better than other spots I've had in east county read more

Yuck! 7:00 in the morning you would think they would have fresh donuts. Took my first bite, old as heck. No good pink donuts. Do a better job. I feel they picked up some other donuts shops day old donuts. Go down the street to Mary's. read more

Delicious traditional donuts. I would recommend the raised donuts like twists and bars. The cake donuts like devils food and sprinkles are overly sweet. read more

I literally ordered one pink donut. It was almost $3. It was extremely mediocre. The frosting was mediocre. The donut was plain. There is absolutely no reason to come here. Would not recommend. read more

I like my dough nuts, and this place makes some very good ones. I stopped in to pick up some buttermilk bars, especially the ones with the maple sugary concoction a top (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/pink-donuts-santee?select=C8dDJzIy9oRfXkxzy2MNrA#C8dDJzIy9oRfXkxzy2MNrA). The buttermilk bar was great. It had that exceptional outside crunchy crust and amber color, not to mention the harden sugar maple topping that went so well with the moist butter center. (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/pink-donuts-santee?select=C8dDJzIy9oRfXkxzy2MNrA#uEbT6xZhrZZmiEzs0IAx6w) On the cross section, you cane even see that thickness of the layer of the dough and maple topping. (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/pink-donuts-santee?select=C8dDJzIy9oRfXkxzy2MNrA#kthn2Cx5gRzkv59Dk8lMOg) great stuff. They make a variety of dough nuts, including a German type cake bar that I found rather intriguing. I will give it gander on my next visit. The little lady that was present when I came in was super friendly and very sincere. The buttermilk bar cost .90... I like a good dough nut... read more

This donut shop has changed names/owners a few times. It is now called Pink Donuts. The donuts were pretty damn good. Stopped here on the way to work and got a version of a crumb donut and an old fashioned donut with chocolate icing. Helpful lady behind the counter and the donuts were 75 cents each. The crumb donut was a raised donut with crumb topping. Decent enough. The old fashioned was better though. This thing had a little crisp to it and a thick layer of chocolate. I liked it a lot. Hey...they are better donuts in Santee but if I am running late or need something close to home, I wouldn't hesitate to come back. The old fashioned donut was awesome! read more

I always get two pink donuts with sprinkles for my daughters. The donuts are phenomenal. Have you seen the show worth it? There is an episode where they try three different price points of donuts and the cheaper $1 donut is the winner. That's this place. The donuts are affordable but perfection! read more

Thank you thank you thank you Pink Donuts! On top of creating delicious donuts, you guys are also open on holidays! When everything went south on Christmas, I hopped from one closed donut shop to another (as I expected! And there's nothing wrong with that!), but luckily I came across you guys! I was greeted by the nicest lady when I came in, and she was more than helpful when completing my donut order! I'm not sure who this review is for, other than the store itself, but I just want to say thank you again, and your donuts were more than enjoyed! read more

Love the donuts and the sweet woman that runs the shop. She is wonderful and always has a smile!

We have done two donut taste tests in Santee. We got the same donut at each donut shop and voted on the best tasting. Both times Pink Donuts was the unanimous winner! read more

It's a small mom and pop donut shop tucked away in the corner of the strip mall in Santee. Most folks probably beeline for the Starbucks next door, but this past July 4th.. the kids in our group declared that frapachinos must be followed by pink donuts... so in we went. The man working the counter was humble and polite. I had to satisfy my husband's forever donut craving (a glazed old fashioned) and the gentleman working the counter was more than happy to get fresh ones from the back since there weren't any in the very well stocked case. Kids got their pink donuts and they loved it. We also picked up an apple fritter for another family member and it looked crisp and delicious. I'm a huge fan of family owned shop and this was no exception. Definitely would come by to satisfy my donut needs if I were in the area! Recommend and would return. Pick up a donut with your Starbucks to not only support local businesses but also get something tasty and sweet to pair! Prices were very low and a better option than what Starbucks carries in their glass case. read more

Always fresh and delicious. Friendly baker and staff. Never greasy and the apple fritters are great too!

I'm so sad that I experienced Pink Donuts while on vacation in San Diego rather than in my hometown...I don't know when I'll get to have their amazing donuts again :( Pink Donuts is nothing fancy to look at from the outside, but once you step foot inside and start smelling the sweet, sweet smells, you immediately know that you made a great decision. Whether it's a bearclaw or a creme-filled chocolate bar (my personal favorite), you can't make a bad choice. Everything I tried (4 different kinds!) was amazing and I challenge you to find something that doesn't rock your world. PS. If you're reading this, please send me Pink Donuts ASAP! read more

This was my first time trying Pink donuts. I loaded up the grandkids and told them we were going for donuts. On the way, we talked about what kind of donut they would pick. What a letdown. When we got inside, the donut case was 85% empty. I suspect that the ones that were available were left over from yesterday. The kids were very disappointed. The was our first and LAST trip to Pink donuts. I think we will stick with Donutpolis. Donutpolis has a good selection and they are fresh. read more

I went to Pink's for the first time over the weekend. The staff was polite and knowledgeable during our exchange. The donuts were very fresh and delicious. I will return! read more

UPDATE: I stopped in again today and again had the old fashioned glazed and maple. However, today, they were stale, no doubt from yesterday :( I removed 2 stars for lack of freshness. First time here as I try to venture out from my comfort zone. I had the old fashion glazed and maple and both were on par with Mary's donuts. We'll see as I try others if this continues to hold true as Mary's is very hard to beat! read more

Love getting my donuts from here, Their donuts are delicious! Attendant is always happy, smiling and very friendly. When I visit from New Mexico, this is one of my favorite places to get my treat! Thank you Pink Donuts! read more

It ain't Mary's but they are pretty good. They always have my son's favorite, the "batman donut" (that's what he calls a chocolate cake donut with chocolate frosting and sprinkles). Friendly service, good coffee, and they are open in the afternoons, which is great for an afters chool treat. read more

I've been stopping here since High School, well over 15 year now. The staff is friendly, kind and good conversation! The donuts are always fresh and melt in your mouth. I do stop by occasionally to grab a water for my kick boxing class next door, the water is affordable and always cold! My kids enjoy stopping by!! read more

This place actually has really great donuts. I go early to pick up donuts before work at 6:15am and they are still fresh and fluffy at night if I'm lucky enough to take some home. The staff is always friendly too. read more

Cute little donut shop right next to Starbucks, holler! I don't usually come to this end of Santee but I have been more frequently within the last month. The lady working there greeted us and was helpful. I cannot speak to what the donuts tasted like because I am currently refraining from doing so. (Bummer) but my family sure enjoyed them! Not my normal donut spot but I wouldn't mind coming here as my other "go to" (: read more

the donuts at pink are great, I love there maple bars and every other donuts they have there, they are fresh donuts, but sometimes they taste old. the lady that works there is very nice she is so sweet. love your donuts read more

honestly even if I don't really have a sweet tooth, when I crave donuts this is the place to go! Not only that, the staff is one of the loveliest people I have ever met. Support family business! read more

This is an independently owned shop making fresh donuts and serving fresh coffee. The prices are cheap, the food is great and the woman behind the counter is friendly and happy to serve. I would be sore about the extra 50 cents to pay with a card for totals under $10 but for the quality and quantity, half a buck is nothing. read more

I was in the area getting my hair done and went next door to get some Starbucks. Coming out, I couldn't help myself and looked at the display of donuts, definitely mom n pop type feel. I love donuts and decided to go past what I usually get (just a regular glazed) and try what caught my eye which was a chocolate cake donut with chocolate glaze with coconut flakes on top! The following happened. INSTANT HAPPINESS. There was a semi crisp while biting in, the donut was not dry and old tasting, and the glaze was perfectly meltable! I paid with cash, unfortunately there are some rules for paying a small fee for purchases under $10. Instant regret leaving after just buying 1. When I'm back over there getting a haircut, I will definitely buy more!!!! And I really just wrote a review after trying ONE donut! read more

This place has my favorite glazed buttermilk in town! Classic flavor, moist texture, perfection. I also adore their croissants. The plain is my favorite, but the ham a cheese as well as the almond croissant are great when seeking something extra. Their filled fonts are on point too. Always a good amount of filling, just enough to ooze out a little if you take too big of a bite. I have never been disappointed here! I know specialty donuts are the big trend right now, but this is the best place for your basic donut needs. read more

I absolutely love this place! The customer service is always A+++ weather I get there at 6:00 am or at 2:00 pm. The doughnuts are always fresh and there is a huge variety to chose from. Thank you for always making it a fun experience!! read more

I live down the street from this place and i love it soooo much! Their sonuts are so good and the people that work there are so nice to me. They recognize me because i come there a lot. Best donut shop ever, i swear. read more
