40 Best Donuts near Santee

“We live in Lake Havasu and the owners came to our business here and brought us a box of donuts. They were the best donuts!!“

“We go to Donutopolis a couple times a month and they are always so friendly and the donuts are delicious! ❤❤“

“Honey Donuts is one of my favorite spots in San Diego. They may not serve the flashy, Instagram-worthy donuts you see at big-brand shops, but the quality here is consistently outstanding. Every donut is fresh, perfectly fluffy on the inside, and made with just the right touch and ingredients and you can’t go wrong.

I’ve even seen them making fresh batches as late as 10 p.m., which speaks volumes about their dedication. The woman at the front is incredibly kind, warm, and hardworking; always greeting you with a smile. You can tell this is a family-run shop built on pride and heart.

Honey Donuts isn’t just a donut shop, it’s a local gem that makes you feel welcome and valued every time you walk in.“

“Always an amazing experience. I love that they offer vegan options that are delicious and unique. It is one of my favorites for donuts! The coffee is quite good too.“

“Amazing place .. great sandwiches ! And donuts“

“Best donuts in Southern California!!“

“We visited KT Donuts today. Glazed, sprinkled, jelly and cream filled, chocolate and powdered sugar coated. All the standard donuts are well represented here. One of my all time favorites is the Apple Fritters.
CASH ONLY HERE!
Cheers“

“best donuts 🍩 ever ! Great tasting“

“Classic donuts with a local shop atmosphere. Everyone is friendly and the donuts are excellent. They also have some convenient store items (chips, drinks, candy) and is family friendly. I recommend the fritters, red velvet glazed or red velvet donuts holes.“

“Great little place. Super friendly owners. Cash only so come prepared. A dozen was another $16.96 each. a little girl came in for 2 doughnuts and tried handing owner cash...he brushed it away and told her...just get me next time. How sweet and charming to know your costumers and tell them to pay next time.
I will say they are a little tricky to find because they are attached to a taco shop. I suggest signage in planter box of parking lot showing an arrow?? Easy to miss the turn.“

“Best donuts ever! Traditional donuts the way I had them as a child. Which was decades ago. Hard to find them this way anymore. I love the chocolate bar with the chocolate chips in the middle. No one makes this one and I have been to A LOT of donut shops.“

“This is a great small donut coffee, Vietnamese coffee, and donut shop. We tried great Vietnamese coffee today, and a hot tea with Stash® brand teas. So many classic donut styles, and we settled on a bunch of delicious glazed donut holes so that we didn't have to say we ate a whole donut!
Great friendly service. Note that the Donuts Plus is cash only and offers an ATM machine. For those who do not want a brewed coffee or Vietnamese coffee, enjoy a chilled CocaCola® or Pepsi® chilled product from the refrigerator case.
Great friendly service.
Accessible entry via a wide ramp. Accessible counter to order and pick up food. Accessible tables indoors to enjoy your choices.
Van accessible parking in the strip center with several venues“

“Love the National Donut Day sticker. I have donut shop a block away from my house however I go out of my way to support sesame donuts ! Always fresh and delicious what real donuts should taste like! Also they have awesome Ham and cheese croissants“

“This staff is the best. They are so friendly. The best doughnuts I have had in awhile. If you are in this area be sure and get some these exquisite masterpieces. #bbUnicorn“

“Best donuts for miles and miles around. Happy I made the drive.“

“Yummy Fresh Donuts They accept cards now (+50c fee only)“

“I’ve lived in the area for years and finally tried this place—what a little treasure in our community! I needed to pick up 5 dozen donuts for my team at work, and since I was heading in early, I placed the order a couple of days ahead. They took down all the details, including a small special request, with no problem. When I arrived at 5am for pickup, everything was ready and absolutely perfect! From the friendly service to the delicious donuts, the whole experience was fantastic. I’ll definitely be back!“

“This was my first time stopping at Tasty Donuts. I had been craving a donut for weeks. I got an apple fritter and a glazed blueberry old fashioned. Like I said, I had been craving a donut - ONE. And I left with two. And I swiftly ate half of each, in my car, as I drove home.

To say they were delicious is a tremendous understatement. The apple fritter was moist, chewy, and the perfect amount of sweetness. So yummy! The blueberry old fashioned was moist and dense all at the same time, glazed just right - not too much, and not too sparse - and it was delicately sweetened, which was ideal.

One of the things I loved about both treats is the just right amount of sweetness. It wasn't overly sweet where one experiences cavities on the first bot, but it also was not bland. I nursed the remains for two days after. I kept them well wrapped to retain as much freshness as I could. And the total for both was only $3 and change! I was pleasantly surprised.

I will return. I don't eat donuts very often, but when the craving hits again, I will most assuredly revisit Tasty Donuts. I was quite pleased. Enjoy your visit... and heck, splurge on two. You're welcome. ♡“

“Just a hole in the wall donut shop offering traditional tasty donuts. I have to say with everyone describing the dough as fluffy.... they are spot on. There's something about it that's so soft and almost has the melt in your mouth feeling.
We ordered an old fashioned glazed and chocolate, as well as a chocolate twist. The gentleman that helped us was so nice and helpful. He gave us 2 donut holes for each of pur orders. It may not seem like much but this is a nice gesture for any guest.

My husband ordered the iced mocha coffee, he said it was ok. I ordered a hot coffee with cream. I have to say that the coffee was bold and good. I didn't expect that.

Definitely will be back for the good donuts and good prices!

Price $16 & some change for
Small coffee
Large iced coffee
5 donuts“

“yes, yes my good sir 🧐. You literaly deserve these 5 golden stars like yall are underrated. IM LITERALY A FOOD CRIDICT. (I eat 2109 calories a day) I literally LOVE you, your donuts are cheap and I bought a dozen for my interview with a VERY important person. The leader of office admissions to a top 10 junior boarding schools. Literally tysm bro I want to glaze you like you did on my donuts.🤑🤫🥰“

“Everything was fresh and delicious. When we got there, there were a couple of people in front of us. We had to wait for 3 bagle sandwiches, and by the time we left, there was a line of at least 10 customers. Mostly return customers. We'll be back!“

“The snacks are fantastic and specialized for those with allergies“

“Best donut I have ever put in my mouth. Hands down! Tried the ube blue yam donut it was so soft and delicious!! Hot fresh coffee was great! Breakfast sandwich on the everything bagel was great! And the half dozen donuts for the road will be finished momentarily. Haha. Highly recommend!! 10/10 Across the board!!“

“I have loved this donut shop since I was a little kid. My dad used to always bring dozens of donuts home before I even woke up. Now that I am old enough to get my own donuts I still go here because the donuts taste the same and havent changed through the years. Super delicious! Do not get 711 donuts when this place is right next door!“

“Our favorite location with friendly staff, very clean and always has most if not everything in stock regardless of the time you good. We obviously go for donuts and recently tried their bagel sandwiches which we were really good and a great price. Portion was perfect and the bagel it self is good. I rather go to this Yum Yum vs. Other donut shops.“

“Came here in the evening and grabbed some apple fritters. Solid size that was larger than an average hand for $3. It still tasted fresh. I can see what other reviews meant by it might be from the morning, and that's totally a'ok in my book.“

“The lady working here is so friendly and kind. She found a candle for me to stick into a donut to celebrate my birthday 🎂 and even took our photo. She was happy to talk to us about the shop and its history. I love places like this and will stop by whenever I'm in the neighborhood. The apple and spice donut is incredible. Not overly sweet and filled with apples like a pie. I ended up buying 2 more after trying one. Absolute perfection. Thank you so much 🙏🏽“

“Roses donuts? Solid. Fluffy, not too greasy, and just the right amount of sweetness. The classics like glazed and chocolate frosted are spot-on, but the real gems are the seasonal specials—think lemon blueberry in spring or apple cider in fall. They also do a killer maple bacon donut that somehow works every time.

Aside from donuts, they’ve got a few dessert surprises up their sleeve—cream-filled eclairs, soft-baked cookies, and a rotating lineup of mini cakes that go way harder than they need to. Pair anything with their locally roasted coffee or a rich hot chocolate, and you’re golden.“

“Christy's donuts in El Cajon has the best donuts. They don't have a shiny new store like that other place in Santee, but they have better tasting donuts the owner and his family run the shop and they are so very nice.

Instead of cakes, we've started treating ourselves to Christy's donuts.

😋 Delicious!“

“Delicious, wonderful, and great customer serve. I’ve never been unhappy. That’s my me-time place to be.“

“This is frequently our pit stop on rides. We love Main Street Donuts & Deli. Great food, great service.“

“I came here a few months ago to get donuts because my usual place was all out. I saw that they made breakfast sandwiches and thought I'd give that a try too. Turns out those sandwiches are amazing. Make sure Lin is the one behind the counter though. I've been back several times for the sandwich and there's another lady that works sometimes who makes them completely different and not as well.Lin takes what I assume is a croissant they make there, toasts it up and makes you two fresh eggs to put on top of it. You can get cheese, ham, bacon etc as well. I usually opt for the number four which is ham, bacon and cheese. It's amazing. Highly recommend this place. The donuts, donut holes and other creations are amazing as well. Stop by soon!“

“I've been coming here for years and they never disappoint. Ideally it's best to wait for a fresh batch of donuts to come out and that's usually in the mornings. Great place for donuts when you have the urge. I go with the usual glazed donuts as those are their specialty.“

“Surprised to see a lot of bad reviews. The guy was very friendly and it wasn't busy when we went. Yes it's a bit pricier than regular donuts but it's so hard to make them (and connect each dough balls to make them look like Mochi Nut donuts) I think it's worth the price for a special occasion.“

“el pan muy bueno también tiene más productos aparte del pan.“

“Delicious local donut shop with great prices and lovely, friendly service. It's cash only, which is a good thing! There's an ATM on site if you don't have cash on you. Remember, cash retains 100% of its value, which means everyone wins! Have a donut to celebrate!“

“I just got a “dozen” (14) delivered to my doorstep nearby and I RAN here to write this review. We received a wide variety of donuts and donut holes, and each was fresh, soft, crispy on the outside and perfectly doughy within… a knockout hit for EVERY FLAVOR!!!Apple fritter was my favorite… wish I’d gotten more than two! We just moved in nearby and I don’t think I’ll ever go anywhere else for donuts again!“

“Donuts are really good. Today, though it was 5:03pm and we were not open the door even though there were around 40-50% capacity of donuts on the shelves. Time ago I was able to purchase donuts at 7pm. Is the sign “closed at 5pm or until there are donuts” variable? I am trying to said just be careful to be there by 5pm.“

“First time having a MOCHI DONUT. Flippin’ awesome, and couldn’t recommend them enough if you’re a pastry lover.“
