Lemon filled
Kim V.

Came here with a friend after a dance class in the same lot on a Saturday morning. It was quite busy inside with about 75% of the seats taken. At around 10:15am, they still had a good selection of treats. We were warmly greeted and since it was busy, they had several people helping patrons. I got a lemon filled donut and my friend got the mini apple fritter. Both were delicious! Definitely a great donut spot that I'll come back to again.

Delicious & fresh donuts. Perfectly cooked. We had the Boston cream filled chocolate donut, apple fritters, maple donut and a couple other donuts. Highly recommend.

Cute small donut place. There are so many options that you can choose. The donut is good. We also got the pistachio Frappuccino and it's very good as well. Great customer service and there are table if you want to sit and enjoy.

Five stars because these donuts have to be my most favorite in SD! I bought a dozen and everyone I shared them with loved them. The shop is small yet cozy. Lots of parking in the lot, I will definitely return for more doughnuts!

I love these local donut shops that still operate 24 hours a day because they allow the flexibility to visit at anytime. Sunny Donuts is located in the Hazard Village of Kearny Mesa. The shop is in the south end of the plaza where parking is more plentiful because the businesses are not as densely packed as the row along the northern perimeter. For a place that never closes, I was surprised to learn they don't have a public restroom for customers to use. A small menu board behind the service counter listed the prices for the beverages, donuts, muffins, and croissant sandwiches without getting into specific flavors. The cost was based on size and/or quantity. The available selections seemed to be a little over half of the full capacity of the display racks. Individual donuts cost $1.85 each which seemed higher than similar shops in other neighborhoods. I bought one Glazed Twist, one Jelly (blueberry), and one Raspberry for my donut order. After sampling a little bit of each one, my favorite was the blueberry jelly. The dough was very soft and had the right ratio of filling. In a perfect world, I would have purchased a half dozen, but donuts get stale quickly if they are not consumed within 48 hours. For the price and quality of the products I tried at Sunny Donuts, I gave my visit a four star rating.

Good seatings and lots of selection of donuts! They were $2 for one, and I got the coconut kreme donut and chocolate dip. They were both pretty good and service was fast too

I was craving donuts to go with my morning coffee, I got crunch donut holes, and an old-fashioned maple. Nothing special and my donut holes don't taste fresh.

The staff is so friendly and kind at Sunny's. They're open 24/7 which is awesome. The gals have let me sample some donuts when I was in between flavors which was so sweet. They even throw in some extra donut holes from time to time. The glazed twist is my favorite from here since it's like a cloud that just melts in your mouth. They have bar seating inside which reminds me of an old school diner and it's so cute. Anytime I'm in the area I like to drop by for a sweet treat here.

This is a small family owned business I met the owner and had the opportunity to talk to him. He was literally the nicest guy ever. 10/10 donuts 10/10 croissant sandwiches Y'all go support them

Dryness
Natasha Y.

Pass, old stale donuts and not much of a selection, the only good thing is they are open 24/7, we got 5 different ones and it was all old crusty dryness. Not very nice customer service either. Would never come back.

Cinnabon Donut and apple Donut(?)

Donuts are good, of course. Most impressive thing for me is that a staff recommended me many kinds of donuts. It proves that he loves their items. In addition, all of those donuts seem to be delicious. I ate the Cinnabon Donut and the apple Donut (I forgot the name of it). They give customers dish to eat donuts in the store.

We were craving doughnuts pretty late and luckily this place was open 24 hours a day. The doughnut are freshly Made! They are definitely fresh and delicious. They do go stale pretty fast so you know the ingredients being used are fresh. Make sure if you have any left over to put them in a closed container to keep them fresh. The place was so cute and welcoming. Overall they were delicious and would ice to go get doughnuts when more availability are there.

This place has to be one of my all time favorite doughnut shops! Located in Del Mar, it's the…read moreperfect spot to grab some coffee and delicious sweets before getting the day started! Every Sidecar doughnut is made from scratch and fresh every hour! And they only use the finest ingredients! Highly recommend the huckleberry 10/10! You can never go wrong with an old fashioned 9/10! But my all time seasonal favorite is the passion fruit 11/10! Pure deliciousness!!!! I also tried the banana iced latte for the very first time- so good! Prices are high, but totally worth every penny! The quality of ingredients and service is absolutely amazing! The vibe is sleek, quaint and colorful! And the staff are so friendly and welcoming! It's about a 25-30 min drive from my house, but totally worth it for the freshest doughnuts in town!

Grabbing some sidecar donuts…read more My friend and I arrive pretty late after dinner and yet there was still a good amount of donuts available to choose from. The small shop was busy and had a decent crowd, but the service was so good that everyone was taken care of relatively quickly. I got a variety of donuts and so did my friend, everything looked mouthwatering (despite us being full from dinner). I really want to come back again soon, all the donuts were really really good, fresh, and lasted me over the span of a couple of days (assuming stored well).

What a cute boba spot. So happy they finally have one in San Diego and so close to my house…read more I love the ambiance of the place. It's super cute, pink and clean. There is no customer service as everything you order is through the kiosk, which is fine. The drinks come out quick which is a plus. I did pay extra for the cute surprise toy. I can't wait to come back and try other drinks and their mochi dough. Thanks Mochi Dough for a fun first time.

FOR THE WIN!!! (4.75 stars)…read more I love donuts. And I tend to stick to basic classical donuts. And therefore I am late to the trend with the mochi donuts! This location is inside Bober Tea and Coffee. There is a glass casing with several flavors to choose from and they sell at $3 a piece. The one that stood out to me was the chocolate with sprinkles. Upon receiving it in a paper pocket bag, the icing was rubbing off on the bag. That immediately told me this is super fresh! I could already feel the softness of the donut. The little sectioned off ball looking segments of the donut are also a game changer when it comes to eating - easier to eat without making a mess! The texture was bouncy, soft, lightly chewy and a little stretchy... the texture was fun and I found myself wanting another afterwards. I do wish they had offer other flavors that don't sounds too sweet because the other flavors didn't really catch me. Until the next review...

The bacon maple still had an amazing texture and we loved how fluffy and satisfying the dough is made but I wasn't a fan of the bacon fat taste with the maple even though I usually like a sweet+savory combo.

She was helping someone else but quickly wrapped up to take my order. The space was clean with plenty of seating. It was so hard to decide so I grabbed a few to share: Maple Bacon, Coconut Cream, Lemon and Horchata. I thoroughly enjoyed all of them and appreciated that they were not overly nor greasy. The fluffiness reminded me more of a beignet and brioche. Will be back to try more flavors! 5/13- We returned for more. These were made to order and topping to dough ratio was too much. Maybe they were being generous, but they were overly sweet today. Bourbon Caramel, Strawberry Shortcake, Lemon, Blueberry Hill, Mango Margarita and Turtle Cheesecake. All great flavors, just too much of it.

My favorite donut place. They also have breakfast tortas and burritos. However, the true star of…read morethe show is their vegan horchata, where they use oatmilk instead of regular milk. Great from anyone who is lactose intolerant. I'm not but I think it tastes better than the regular horchata. They have also recently expanded to a matcha menu called Sana Sana bar. The menu is based on a Spanish nursery thyme to comfort kids who are hurt or upset. The staff is always nice and helpful and their donuts are also delicious.

I decided to stop in at 11:30 AM on a Wednesday morning after a Pilates class nearby. They donuts selection was kind of sparse. I should've taken a picture of the rack because most of the places were empty. There is also a Matcha bar that looks like it's supposed to be set up off to the side, but was not open. We picked out two beautiful donuts, the Chocolate Abuelita and the Cajeta. The Cata looked really nice, but was very plain tasting. The Chocolate Abuelita was definitely better and I liked the Mexican hot chocolate cream in the center. I would give this donut shop one more shot, just because of all the great things I've heard about it from people whose opinions I respect. Honestly, though, there are so many donut shops in town that if I don't find it better the next time I probably wouldn't return.
