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.

Twist and some In-N-Out whole milk.
Michael S.

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!

It's the back of the counter that had me second guessing the cleaning and the many containers .

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.

Cinnamon Crumble Crunch

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

My favorite shop to go to. The ladies in there are always so sweet and welcoming. The breakfast sandwiches are SO good. Donuts are always good. 18 for the dozen.

She was too rude and annoyed me. When I asked a bag, she throwed away in front of me. I never go again.

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.

14 donuts for $12ish!
Jennica S.

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.

Great Filipino bakery!…read more Staff is really welcoming whenever we visit, the space is clean, baked goods are always tasty, and the señorita bread always comes out fresh and warm! There's often a line, but the wait is well worth it! You seriously cannot go wrong with anything you order, but a box of señorita bread is truly the way to go. Cannot recommend this spot enough, and cannot wait for my next visit!

Product itself: I ordered a 15 count of their classic breads. They came fresh and hot as always!…read more Customer service: I didn't catch the name of the girl who helped me, but she was polite and nice. Just took my order very professionally and that was basically my whole interaction with her, but everytime I have come before it is always professional! Value: For $12 +tip you get 15 breads which in my opinion is an extremely good value. Their donuts are only $2.50 and for specialty products these prices are unheard of these days. Atmosphere: It is not a sit down location, it is meant for to go orders only, but the atmosphere is always very clean and the display of the beautiful donuts is so cute. Overall experience: I love starbread. Ever since I discovered them two years ago it has become one of my go-to's for get togethers because the quality is always top tier and the original breads are something that everyone likes. No matter how picky ! 10/10 from me!

I celebrated national coffee day with dunkin this year :) I ordered their original iced coffee with…read more4 whole milk, 5 pumps of pumpkin, add an espresso shot and marshmallow cold foam. with an order of their 10 munchkins. I ordered online while in the drive thru line and even though they were superrrr busy, by the time I got there, My order was sitting there waiting for me. personally I am not someone who craves donuts, they're not my first choice of sweet treat but I actually loved their munchkins. and I might just crave them. I tried their seasonal pumpkin munchkin, classic glazed, powdered and jelly filled donut. they are soft, chewy, dont have a bread taste and actually satisfied my sweet treat craving. would go again for the munchkins for the coffee itself, it was a nice balance of coffee and sweetness, I did add an espresso shot as well. I did notice that they have different versions of pumpkin though. one is nutty pumpkin, the other just says pumpkin ( I ordered thru the app and I will say while choosing a sweetener, they did not have the nutty pumpkin as an option. ) little did I know the pumpkin definitely was a lil spicy, definitely a pumpkin spice latte vibe. the girl at the window that day was sweet and cool, I liked her vibe.

I believe the car in front of me and I are now legally considered neighbors. We've been through a lot together. Based on our current rate of travel, I expect to receive my coffee sometime around 2027. I've considered having my mail forwarded here. Zillow just asked if I'd like to estimate the value of my spot in line. I understand things get busy, but calling this a "drive-thru" feels wildly optimistic. "Park-and-contemplate-your-life-choices" would be more accurate. The best part is that I'm trapped. I can't leave. Cars in front. Cars behind. This isn't a drive-thru anymore. It's a hostage situation with donuts. If I ever reach the window, I'm not even sure I want coffee anymore. I want answers. One star for Dunkin'. One star for the lifelong friendships I've made in line.

I was also surprised to see that they expanded their space that offers seating and a coffee shop! They use beans sourced from Philippines for their coffee. Good move on their end if you want to enjoy your filipino pastry with coffee or tea! My go to items rotate between the Spanish bread, pizza pandesal, and regular pandesal fresh from the oven. For my most recent visit, I was surprised to see they had the ilocos empanada available. Like i mentioned, its been a minute since coming here so not sure how long they've been making them. The last time i had an ilocos empanada was when visited Vigan Philippines in 2017! I ordered on in addition to a chicken empanada and pizza pandesal. I decided to check out the coffee shop and what made me backtrack was that they make calamansi tea (with either black or jasmine tea). Decided to order that and eat the ilocos empanada at the cafe while it was still warm. The ilocos empanada: big portion ($6). You can order with or without cheese ($7 with cheese). I opted without cheese because this is how i remember eating it. It also comes with a vinegar sauce. It was delicious. Perfect crunch. Perfect ratios of papaya, mung beans, meat and egg. Calamansi black tea - yummy as well. Not too sweet. Tasted good with the empanada. I will definitely be coming back for the ilocos empanada. They make them daily and often replenished throughout the day (according to the employee). Parking here may be tight if coming durinf busy hours since it shares the spaces with titas kitchenette (also delicious) and island pacific market as well as other small businesses in the strip mall.
