19 Best Donuts near Lakeside

“Oh my goodness!!! The donuts are absolutely amazing. I ordered a white cake, chocolate frosting with coconut and a plain buttermilk. As a bonus the very sweet counter lady gave me 5 glazed donut holes for my order. I sampled a donut hole which was light and airy and perfectly sweet. A super clean bite of no greasy taste or heaviness. DELICIOUS. Since this is a review I will continue on with sampling. Next was the plain buttermilk bar. A lovely light crunch on the outside and a silky light inside with a wonderful taste of buttermilk...again DELICIOUS!!! I am aware at this point I am stuffing my face but for the sake of this review I will force myself to continue on. The white cake donut with chocolate frosting and a sprinkling of coconut was AMAZING AND DELICIOUS as well. Oh boy...let me have a minute. (Light jazz music playing)......Okay folks I'm back. Please stop in and get yourself some of the best donuts I've ever eaten. Enjoy!!!“

“I've been coming to Mary's donuts since 2012 back at their old location in Santee. It's really great that they have branched out and have a store in Lakeside now.Parking is a little weird. They have a lot in the back but if you're lucky you can get a spot on the street I saw they have deli and breakfast lunch menus so I'll have to stop in and try them.Donut case is always impressive on what they offer but I usually stick through my usual order of a maple bar. I decided to get an apple, fritter and man are they ginormous! Honestly, the size of your face and they taste so good!The service is so quick I waited, probably less than a minute before I was helped by one of the employees. I've been to the Santee location at 2 AM and they're always still so nice and welcoming despite the odd hours.Makes me happy to support them throughout all these years and see them expand and grow! Keep on going!“

“This place is small, intimate, cozy - and brimming with loving kindness! The treats are so good that you can forget that they are far more healthful than those in almost any other coffee bar or bakery. I love this place and the people who work here!“

“Came here on a weeknight... there were a few other customers coming n going. Clean and casual, kind lady behind the counter was so sweet. Hehe. The donuts are classic and tasted fresh. So many to choose from, even at 8pm on a weeknight. We purchased a box, mixed selection, and they kept well enough for a couple days. Definitely a local spot to check out if in the area.“

“This modest donut shop located next to Sprouts has the best donuts. Nothing fancy. Just a couple hard working ladies making the freshest, fluffiest donuts in town and at very reasonable prices. They greet you with a warm smile and box everything in that iconic pink bakery box.“

“I have been going to Rose Donuts since the 1990's and they have never failed to impress. The donuts are always fresh. They are always perfection. It's a traditional donut place with traditional donuts of all types and they are probably the best in San Diego County. Be sure to get their apple fritter! They even make a smaller fritter since traditional apple fritters are so huge. Oh, and their pricing is still great at a time when prices are skyrocketing. Even better if you can pay cash. Enjoy! I know I do!“

“OMG these are the best donuts we've had in a long time, maybe even ever. Soft, not overly sweet, not a single dry bite (even after 9am) perfect amount of toppings. We got a half dozen, a bottle drink, and a medium coffee. Our total was just over $8. That is the cash price, however. They do charge more for using card FYI.My daughter and I tried the Bavarian Cream (my favorite), chocolate Old Fashioned, Glazed with Cinnamon, White with Sprinkles, and Chocolate with Sprinkles. She had a bottle of Strawberry milk and I had a medium coffee. The Bavarian Creams were the best I've ever had. There was actually cream in the entire donut, and it was soooo soft and fluffy! Even the Old Fashioned was soft, with a perfect crispy crust. The chocolate actually tastes like chocolate, better than any other donut shop I've tried. My daughter scarfed down her sprinkle donuts with a smile the whole time. He even included 2 donut holes as a surprise! She devoured those before I could stir my coffee and try a bite hahaThe only sorta downsides I have; the coffee tasted odd... even for what you would imagine "cheap generic coffee" to be. But he had a few different Flavored creamers available, so that helped. Also, it may not be everyone's cup of tea, but there was some old country love ballads playing as we ate there. I didn't mind, it seemed fitting somehow.I am so mad at myself that I've driven by this place twice a day for a year and a half and never stopped in! We will most definitely be back!“

“Donut bros is great I bring donuts to works and other functions and people love them, my favorite is the cream filled and maple bars, everyone is always so friendly and nice and the service is quick I would highly recommend donut bros for your donut supply.“

“Honestly, these are some of the nicest people I have ever met.We had an accident on the freeway and we reserve this hotel room and the state patrol gave us a ride over here to the hotel. It’s just next-door. The hotel would not let us stay in the lobby because they would not allow us to check in until 3 o’clock and we arrive at about 1030 in the morning. if you want, you can check my review of the hotel that I posted on Google maps as well.This little donut shop knew what happened to us and said we could stay in the lobby as long as we needed to to wait until they allowed us to check in at 3 o’clock today. She gave us a free donut and we bought sandwiches and more donuts and are very appreciative of their kindness. This is definitely a good place to start for good donuts and sandwiches and ice cream. Everything taste great. Highly recommend it. And thanks again you guys are awesome!“

“I judge a donut place by their glazed donuts... and this place gets it right every time! The glaze isn't too sweet AND they made sure there's no bitter aftertaste. (Weird description, but I swear that's a thing with bad glazed donuts.)“

“I love this donut shop! The donuts are fresh, traditional, and consistently delicious! They have a great variety. It's a family owned and operated small business in East County. Their prices are lowlier to average for local traditional donut shops. I even custom order donuts for parties. They are always exactly what I wanted.“

“Stopped in while getting my bike serviced near by. Very friendly staff, quick and easy to order.Everything came out promptly. Got the sausage, egg, and cheese sandwich on an everything bagel. Super tasty. Also got an Iced Coffee, it’s a darker roast than I normally prefer, but not bad.I don’t live in the area but would stop by again if I happen to be close by.Parking: The area is dead in the morning, so plenty of parkingKid-friendliness: Open space concept, plenty of room for kids to wiggle.Wheelchair accessibility: Everything is flat, tables and chairs are spaced out freely, lots of room inside“

“The best donuts in town honestly. We like to venture out and try new places but we always come back here. It's a little small but the service is immaculate. The donuts are tasty, the chorizo bagels is amazing! We love coming here on a Sunday morning! Parking is good, just don't park in front or you'll get stuck. Staff is friendly“

“I always get two pink donuts with sprinkles for my daughters. The donuts are phenomenal. Have you seen the show worth it? There is an episode where they try three different price points of donuts and the cheaper $1 donut is the winner. That's this place. The donuts are affordable but perfection!“

“Yum yum Donuts is a great place to grab a cup of coffee ☕ Glass of Orange juice Breakfast and get your Sugar Fix . Been coming here about 30 years and it is still friendly place to pick up something to drink or eat try it the next time your in Lemon Grove ? ?“

“The donuts are generous in size and always fresh! The location is an old Winchells back in the day! The staff are difficult to understand so be sure to repeat your order to clarify your order. The muffins were beautiful and many were being sold. I don't like cheap offer so I stop by Better Buzz or bring my own blend from home.“

“I really like this Sunny Donuts location where La Mesa meets the 125 freeway. The donuts are good and the people working very friendly and have great customer service. When they didn't have my chocolate with peanut topping, she went in the back and made me one, who does that! They treat customers right, here. A nice place that deserves your business.“

“This place is fantastic! A new favorite in Poway. Great for a quick snack and something a little different. My go-to is the original mozzarella and a funnel cake mochinut - delish! Their boba drinks are great too. Service is always friendly.“
