41 Best Donuts near Santee

“I've been buying donuts from May's for over 30 years and they ae the best of the best. If they had a cannabis dispensary next door the line for donuts would a mile long.“

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

“The only reason I scored three stars for the atmosphere at Honey Donuts is due to the geographical location. Otherwise, Honey Donuts has the absolute best product in East County. Day or night they have the freshest donuts. I often have been there at 10 pm or later and the service is as great as it is during the day. The staff is friendly, helpful, and very welcoming whenever I stop in. I would recommend Honey Donuts to anyone inquiring about the place.“

“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“

“Went in here with my friends for some donuts, and got a singular maple bar. BEST DONUT I HAVE HAD IN A WHILE!!! Went back in there and bought the rest of the maple bars, I’m sure their other donuts are amazing but definetly get the maple bar. Very nice and sweet family, I will definitely be coming back.“

“Amazing place .. great sandwiches ! And donuts“

“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.“

“Love this place! I went to this donut shop 30 minutes before closing and they had a large variety of donuts to pick from, and most importantly they were fresh and tasted delicious. Their donuts have a very unique and comforting taste, I don’t know how to explain it, but you have to try them. In my eyes, the donuts weren’t as big as the other reviews claimed, but they were a good size to say the least. I was pleasantly surprised that a dozen donuts is only $15?!?!! I’ve been going to Yum Yum donuts and I pay $25 for a dozen donuts that are stale, hard, and they often don’t have much variety by the end of the day. I’ve gone to other mom and pop shops and their donuts have also been stale on several occasions, so I was really hoping they wouldn’t be stale, but this place really surpassed my expectations all around. This will be my new go-to donut spot for sure. The employees were very friendly and patient. Do bring cash though because this is a cash only shop, although they kindly accepted Cashapp and Venmo.“

“Mary likes cheese sandwiches" "on rye bread"“

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

“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.“

“best donuts 🍩 ever ! Great tasting“

“Donuts Plus is the absolute BEST DONUT SHOP in the area!!! Everything is always fresh and delicious. The owner Lisa and her helpers are so professional, courteous, super hard working people. We wouldn't go anywhere else but Donuts Plus!!!!“

“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.“

“They gave both our kids free samples as soon as we walked in the door! I asked if they had sugar twists and they were out but she went back and .ade me one on the spot. That is above and beyond service. It took a while for the kids to decide what they wanted but she was incredibly patient with us. Incredible service. The donuts were fresh even at 11 am when we showed up. Thank you for being so kind with our kids!!!“

“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. ♡“

“The great:
- The donuts are always amazing. All the classic options, soft, perfect texture, generous jelly, reasonable pricing. Best donuts in La Mesa, Rolando, City Heights area
- the ladies that work here are super sweet, and always hook my kiddo up with an extra couple donut holes.

The bummer:
Unpredictability with opening/closing. Showed up today at 9:10 am, lights off, no donuts in the display. On their Google page, and their window, says they should be open. This has occurred at least 3 other times. Perhaps need to call before making the drive to come here.“

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

“Got this via door dash bc of a craving on a Saturday. Did not expect them to be the freshest donuts I’ve ever purchased. Maybe I got lucky, but the oil used was new, did not taste the oil. The box didn’t even get oil stains. Bread had a nice saltiness and flavor. Very glad I tried them out and I will definitely be back.“

“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“

“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.🤑🤫🥰“

“**Food is delicious, n lady's super-nice, BUT... Recently (Last couple months.), I've noticed stuff has been SUPER-SATURATED with OIL! Flavor is great, but they need to sort that out, as it's'a turn-off, and has me reconsiderin continued patronage.

Wish I'd mentionedit to'r this mornin...“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Amazing dougnuts! Sometimes I come and they are fresh or stale. I BRing some for my son and husband, they go crazy. Box empty in about 4 days. I love the place! Too bad you can't stay for long since the parking sign says something about no staying past 15 minutes. They also have tables“

“I paid went to my car and was about to leave when the most kind lady came out and told me my card didnt go thru but she paid for me she said its ok it was only 5.75! Wow i noticed my card was off and wondered how that happened. I paid but the absolute kindness of the women blew me away no one ever pays for you and goes out of theyre way not to embarrass you! I will always go here now im beyond impressed thank you you are heavenly !!“

“If you're ever in El Cajon you have to stop here. It's a total must-do anytime I come back to town.
​These are not those silly, fancy donuts that places like Krispy Kreme or Dunkin' try to sell you. They are the real ones. The donuts you actually remember from when you were a kid.
​Seriously, forget those imitators and stick with the originals right here. This place is a must-have for the great taste and a powerful trip down memory lane.“

“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!“

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

“Best doughnuts highly recommended“

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

“I preordered 5 dozen assorted Mochinut for a baby shower. This was the dessert the mom to be wanted to serve her guests. We tried the red velvet, the chocolate, the funnel cake, the original and the strawberry. They were delicious, boxed and ready to go at the designated time. It was my first experience and a very good one.“

“Krispy Kreme - 3 Me - 0 ... Yep that good and still as I remember nostalgia 😋 Warm welcome (and aroma) as soon as I entered Krispy Kreme with assortment to choose from. Thank you Ahmad and Minah for making my night a little sweeter! 🍩“

“If you love donuts, this place is a must. Randy’s Donuts absolutely delivers—fresh, soft, and packed with flavor. The variety is insane, and everything looks as good as it tastes. Service was fast and friendly, even when it’s busy, and the shop itself has a clean, welcoming vibe that makes you want to stay and enjoy your treat.

Super easy to get to and plenty of parking, which is always a plus. I’m a donut lover, and this spot hits every time. Highly recommend stopping by if you’re anywhere nearby. You won’t leave disappointed.“

“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!“

“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!“

“This Dunkin's is adjacent to the SDSU Campus on Montezuma Dr. It shares a space with Jimmy Johnson Sandwiches. I had a medium drip coffee and a turkey sausage breakfast sandwich on an English Muffin.

The coffee was good. It was a little bitter at first, but then it settled down and was much smoother to drink. I had it hot. The turkey sausage breakfast sandwich was good, too. The breakfast sandwich was better than I thought it was going to be. The turkey sausage was savory and tasty. The cheese was well melted, the egg well cooked, and the English muffin well toasted.

I did not get any doughnuts on this trip, but perhaps next time. The service was friendly and helpful. Everything is packaged to go. They do have a small wall table with about three chairs inside.“
