There's a different sunny donuts location in SD that my husband loves. Not sure if these locations are related but this one wasn't as good as the other. Still decent and yummy though.
Super tasty donuts and very friendly owner/counter person. Plump, fluffy, and perfect amount of glaze, these were as tasty as any twist, old fashion, or glazed donuts I could have purchased in the better Portland, Oregon places. See the picture I provided. Clean inside, although outside it doesn't look like much. It's worth your time and not expensive. Top notch donuts at the right price!
What is one thing that it is hot and warm and the golden-brown look of the outer crust the sweet taste of the of the cakes that cook in the golden oil that turns the cake and the many flavors of dough cooking and baking them to be frosted and glazed them. When you come to a place that has the feel of the 1960s yet when you know that the doughnut has been around for many centuries and to have the golden brown or the golden crullers in the morning with the coffee that is on your mind. When I had arrived at Sunny Doughnuts it was a day that I had just got paid on the first part of the month and wanted to try the doughnuts of Sunnys the location has been one place that has been busy and the many stores nearby. I had gone inside the store and saw they had only three people and looked at what they had seeing two ladies talking at the coffee bar inside that had the many ingredients of the mixed drinks. I got the front cashier and looked at the selection I had asked," Do you have orange frosting doughnuts?". She told me that they don't make them, and they had run out of the frosting I took as a way that they only serve certain doughnuts not too many in regular doughnuts. I ordered for Buttermilk bar and the Chocolate Old Fashioned and the Choclate Nut doughnut which had to be the softest doughnuts and the flavor of the Buttermilk Bar was thick in taste had that taste that matches the Buttermilk bar doughnut. The many selections they have were of the large fritters with the many doughnuts they make and the many filled doughnuts they have. Sunny Doughnuts is one location that has the makings of the many doughnut locations and the menu they have having the making of sandwiches yet with the issues of a sandwich area that shows a dirty cutting area and with a warm place there was no clean back area. As a Yelp Elite reviewer from the many bakeries that has the many creations yet when you see a place that has a clean atmosphere and when you come across a place that is dirty it is something that makes me think things that are not kept clean. with the flavors of doughnut's that are from the 50s 60s and the 80s yet the best flavors .
My coworker said that the donuts from here are his favorite, so I was excited to try them. I always go for the chocolate ones, so I grabbed a chocolate twist. The donuts were pretty average, nothing special. I felt that the one I got was not as fluffy as I usually like, so I was a little disappointed since Sunny's seems like a pretty popular place around this area.
This is your typical donuts shop around the corner. Simple and easy to grab. Service was welcoming and the place has it's options to sit and enjoy your coffee too.
If your seeking the donut then sure this place is smack dab in the middle. They are not going to put the donuts on a black towel with white gloves and they are not going to sale you day old donuts. They had more of the kids style donuts encrusted with Captain crunch, super huge, purple chocolate. Very fun. My fav was the cinnamon crumble crunch. They have a little eating area and the ladies there are fun nice and don't mind getting the donuts for you. The only down side is they put them in a bag too many in a bag is not good. I think there should be a donut degree that 3 or more should be put in a box or Container. At the 12 mark your going to pay around .90-1.10 per item. If you just want good tasting and the whole buying experience is not important to you. Then this place is the best so far in the area. They do take cards and they are open 24/7
Open 24 hours.. Nothing fancy, your typical old school donut shop serving traditional donuts. Their filled donut holes are pretty good. The filling is thick so it doesn't go everywhere. Dusted with powdered sugar.. a nice bit of sweetness. Hubby also picked up a box of mixed donuts. Nothing too spectacular. The chocolate glazed donut I tasted was a bit on the dry side.
Open 24 hours. Friendly staff, fast service. Dine in area feels like a Comfortable 90's Sitcom set. Good coffee. Will be back.
I've always seen this place en route traveling throughout National City using Highland Avenue, and I'm surprised it took me this long to finally try it (unless I have long ago as a child and I don't remember). Finally made the trip, as I had stumbled upon a review that mentioned they carry boba/tapioca pearl drinks and wondered if they really did carry it. Arrived on a not too busy afternoon, to a wide selection of donuts to choose from, and then I saw the sign with the drinks (and sandwiches). Yep. Boba! Now, it was pretty interesting to see a donut shop in National City serving boba as well, as just down the street you already have 3-4 places offering it (with SD Boba Cafe and TapEx specializing in it). While it took me a while to decide which drink to get (from the Strawberry Banana, to Thai Iced Tea, to Blueberry Banana and to Mocha) plus a donut (since most boxed dozens I've been offered this past year have never included my favorite), I ended up choosing a Thai Iced Tea Smoothie with Boba (one size only - large) plus a lemon filled donut (their last one!). Total ended up being around $6 and some change, so it was nice to be able to use a card. The lady helping me was really nice, and she said the Thai Iced Tea was just freshly made (to which she pointed to her almost empty smoothie cup) so it was a good choice on my end. Didn't take too long, and it ended up tasting really good. It was a bit too much for me (large sized and all) in the end, as I kept getting a brain freeze, but the donut was really delicious (and a little larger than most donut sizes) with lots of lemon filling. Overall, I enjoyed my trip and the food, and I wouldn't mind dropping by here again. Plus, it was worth trying their boba drinks finally!
I like donut, but unfortunately donuts do not like me because they have a tendency to add to my waist line. Sunny donuts around town has been making good donuts for a long time now. At this location I had a twist covered in chocolate for .75 cents. (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/sunny-donuts-national-city?select=ao2k4NUQGPcbNNLjNTpfCQ#6A7LXgL41t01mRBNmHR8sg) The donut was pretty good. I like the way the exterior chocolate sauce creates a nice crust. The inside was pretty moist, but a little on the bread side rather than that nice chewy doughy consistency. (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/sunny-donuts-national-city?select=ao2k4NUQGPcbNNLjNTpfCQ#P7d6ctPEjNaP6m_I_THHCw) But decent nevertheless. I good donut over all. They make a significant variety of donuts here that there should be at least for everyones' liking. (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/sunny-donuts-national-city?select=ao2k4NUQGPcbNNLjNTpfCQ#Jx3QOuES9RdN2PoFiEwnDg) The ladies who were working here nice and had a good sense of humor.
I don't think you can beat $10 for a dozen donuts and about $12 for 14 donuts. Donuts are so expensive nowadays, especially since people do some fancy things to them. Sunny Donuts is an old school, traditional donut shop with some classic donuts. This place has been around for a long time! Their donuts are pretty good, and for a great price. Their menu also has items like croissant/bagel sandwiches, ice cream, and even boba! The workers are really nice. I went here around 10pm with still a few selection of delicious donuts from the start of the day, and the lady was so sweet. She would giggle and smile like no other.

Sunny Donuts is a long-standing, well-loved local staple in National City serving delicious treats that are fresh, soft and airy for over 40 years! My wife grew up in this area and has been coming to this donut shop since she was a little girl. The vibe is definitely cozy. The donut shop has a "hole-in-the-wall" feel. And the staff are exceptionally kind and friendly. Service is quick and efficient. Making it the perfect spot to grab and go. They offer a wide variety of sweet, soft, and airy donuts that maintain quality and selection throughout the day. The menu also extends to complementary items like breakfast croissant sandwiches, smoothies, and premium coffee. Prices are also reasonable (compared to other donut shops in the area). Definitely come check this place out. The staff here make you feel at home and welcome. read more
Nothing spectacular about this place - which is what I like about it. Just donuts, not fancy donuts - it's a small little place and good prices. The folks serving the donuts were nice - not overly friendly. We drove a little out of our way to get there - but it didn't disappoint. read more

I bought half a dozen, but as soon as I got home I regretted it because I should have bought a dozen. Their donuts are impeccable. A perfect mixture of sweet and doughy. Now the customer service is what will be keeping me as a customer at their shop; not only are they treating you like family, but they also reasonable with their prices. read more

Stopped here on the way home. The donut counter was full of options. Their donuts were fresh and very tasty! I know I will regret getting a dozen, but hey, I only eat them maybe twice a year. Man, they were really good! Guess I will have to go for a walk or two just to work those off. The lady behind the counter was very friendly. They have a bar seating area so that you may enjoy eating the donuts here. I also noticed on the way out there was a huge banner advertising they have Lox and cream cheese on a bagel. That is something I may have to come back for. I would recommend stopping by here! read more
