We would stop here after church once in awhile maybe 30 years ago!!! They have been here for many years, always kind, hard working family. I hope 7/11 and now Starbucks hasn’t hurt but hopefully enhanced their business. Easy in and easy out the parking lot

Showed up around 3:30PM midweek, inspired by the Hulu Donut King documentary. I’m not a big donut eater, most places I’ve been to are too dense and often taste like they’ve been sitting out a few days. Not the case at Sunny Donuts! This shop may have just inspired my cheat days to be dedicated to making a trip to La Mesa for their delicious donuts! They’re sweet, soft, airy, and there’s plenty to choose from even late in the day! We’ll be back! (We took some bites from a few in this pic, we couldn’t wait to get home!)

Love me some Sunny Donuts. This place is our donut go-to. My son always begs to go to Sunny Donuts. Never disappointed. Their croissant sandwich is a favorite in our family.

Great little donut place. Get there early for the best selection.

Great customer service. Freshly made donuts.

Sunny donuts are great and they have very friendly service!

Like the place as the donuts are usually pretty good. Not the freshest but have good variety and flavor. Reminds me of the old Winchell place I used to visit in the 90s

Delicious donuts!!! Ive been here plenty of times and the donuts are always fresh and yummy. I just ordered some for a party and everyone loved them and asked where they were from. Thats always a good sign of a Delicious donut 🍩😋

Fast service, fresh donuts, fair prices. Plan an extra 10minutes if you go during morning Rush hour, the driveway gets blocked by the cars on spring street and sometimes takes a few minutes to pull out.

Got chocolate ring and a few others they were pretty good.

I stopped in hoping to get a dozen donuts, but because it was about 6 PM there werent many donuts available and I just got a single old fashioned glazed.That was THE BEST donut Ive ever had.

Outside of having very good donuts the Owner Woody is just like family and this staff are like family to😋😋🥰🥰

Best selection, Best Donuts, fast friendly service great prices, easy access ♿ plenty of parking. Great coffee ☕😁

I showed up around 11 am and there were very few donuts left, so def get there early if you want a selection. I was able to get some decent donuts. They were good, not great, although the Bavarian cream was absolutely amazing. Ill have to come back earlier in the day and try out some of the other flavors!!

Donuts were there for a while. Not very fresh in the afternoon.

By noon on the day I bought The donuts that frosting you to Ill fall in off and they were hard and dried up. I think this time Ill try to find a new donut place not going back there again.

Great place for doughnuts! Awesome selection. Get here early or they might run out of some popular items

Great donuts. Always open late. Great customer service.

They need to change their open hours time 🙄

I like that itstays open late

Best place to get your French crullers and maple bars.

Just picked up a few doughnuts to treat my husband and I.

Best local donut shop! Best Ham and cheese croissants! Best donut holes!

Best donut spot in San Diego. Prices are good, their fridge has my favorite drinks. Their old fashioned and Buttermilk glazed are the best Ive had anywhere. The people who work here are beyond hospitable. Their kindness makes it seem like theyre happy to see me, genuinely.

Service was good donuts were oksy.

All Sunny donuts locations are the best. Ive been to tje National City and La Mesa locations and bothe are top notch.

GREAT customer service, DELICIOUS and fresh donuts, AWESOME prices! The woman who helped me at around 8 pm yesterday (I THINK she had gray hair and glasses - my memory isnt the best) had a super positive personality. Definitely will be a returning customer!

My fav place when its time for donuts always fresh

BEST donut shop in La Mesa and San Diego. Family owned and operated for years, these donuts are fresh every day and the coffee is wonderful. Please stop in and support this great local business and say NO to Starbucks takeover of the ma and pop coffee shops of the area.

Sometimes the variety vary, just ask and they might have it fresh in the back!I really like the buttermilk donuts along with the ham and cheese croissants.

I used to come to this donut shop every single day after work a few years back and it is like night and day it is so horrible the donuts are always stale even when theyre fresh theyre filled Donuts barely have any feeling and the prices keep going up

Small family owned, best donuts in SD! Visit them before driving thru at Starbucks

Great donuts and nice people. Prices have gone up a bit in recent past like most donut shops. Nice bar stool area to sit and enjoy the food.

Facility is run down and outdated. My impression is that its unsanitary and would be marginal on a health inspection.

Very good donuts and breakfast food go early in the morning 🌄 and get the freshest one

These Donuts are pretty good however the prices you pay for them are way too high for what you receive! The service there was laozi she could hardly speak in English. But it was mostly high prices that they charge in there which will keep me from ever going back! I would much rather go to Petersons Bakery in Escondido they have amazing donuts freshly cooked terrific service and the prices are pretty decent especially for what you received! Sunny Donuts cant even hold the unlit match for the candle which is Petersons donuts!

Love this place I buy dounghts 4 times a week

Nice lady. Everything looked fresh ..yup just tried it.. pretty good!😃

I absolutely love sunny donuts. their selection is fresh and they have a lot to offer. great quality, i love the chocolate frosted, the chocolate they use is so yummy

I seriously think its the best donut shop in San Diego. Im a big donut fan and I think Sunnys are the best. Try their vanilla and chocolate cream donut,really good!

Best cream filled donuts!

Went there for the first time today with a friend. Best Bavarian Cream chocolate donut ever!! Wonderful huge crossaints that melt in your mouth. Very friendly gentleman who waited on us.

Good donuts and pastries and friendly people. Exact same Donuts is Dunkin Donuts

Great selection. Fresh donuts available all day. I was surprised even the coffee is really good. Donuts were very moist and very tasty. Seasoned very well. Quick service. Definitely going to come back.

Great donuts, great price, kind staff!!

Yummy donuts, excellent service, cute spot. He threw in an extra donut which was awesome. Highly recommend

Best donuts in San Diego. Whenever I come home to visit my family, I go there first thing in the morning.... sometimes more than once a week! Huge donuts, so many varieties... So good! And they are really inexpensive. Great place.

My FAVORITE donut place for decades now... Yum my mouth is watering but Im doing KETO! No donuts!!😢😩

Nice, professional young woman. Good bacon egg croisandwich. Good location.I dont remember a name badge.long black ponytail, very polite.

The counter people are very helpful when choosing donuts and there coffee, its just plan and simple. A good cup of Joe.

I stumbled upon this place by accident and glad I did. However, this is a CASH only place. Yes, they have an ATM inside and the fee for this convenience is a $2.00 service fee. Yikes!Back to the donuts, they are superior to most donut shops. They are light, fluffy, and cooked to a light golden perfection, the custard filled ones are heavenly, and the glazed are amazing. I will definitely be coming back here. Yummy!

Great tasting donuts. One doesnt go to the donut shop for great customer service, thats always a hit or miss here, but the best donuts! Also skip the coffee...really bad.

Usually really good (dont get donuts but about once in 3 months) but this is my go to spot when I do. Had a couple of day olds last time otherwise 5 stars!

Love stop in here to grab a box for my coworkers! They have an awesome breakfast sandwich too!!

The best donuts in the most unlikely place - nearly underneath the CA-94. Its been here since the 60s and has remained unchanged. Great donuts, coffee in styrofoam and limited seating have endured while the sub-urban sprawl swallows everything else...

If you want to be late just try being second in line here the cashier is slower than a herd of snails he acts like he doesnt know your there. Ill never go there again.

They are one of the only places that still makes the French curlers. My favorite! Its worth my drive from Chula Vista if Im craving my French curler. So happy They still make it.

OLDEST DONUTS IN CALIFORNIA.. I ASKED FOR ONE THEY HAD ON THEM TALL CARTS IN THE BACK THE CARTS DONUT SHOPS PLACE FRESH DONUTS ON AND TO MY SURPRISE THAT DONUT TASTED LIKE THREE DAYS OLD AND I ALSO FOUND A HAIR IN THE DONUT... NASTY DONUTS

I pick up donuts for the church I attend most Sundays. Have for years. Wonderful family run business and the donuts are as good as they get.

Been here forever, and for good reason. Oddly one of the only places I can still find french curled doughnuts, their breakfast croissants are really good, too.

Early am is the best time to go. I have been there mid day, evening and night. Not a lot to choose from, not as fresh as first thing in the morning. I dont like that they keep the donuts with peanuts mixed with non peanut. I have a son that is allergic to peanuts and I stay clear of that section.

Great Donuts! Thank you!

Good coffee and delicious donuts!

A donuts a donut. Just happens its close. Good enuff. I like croissants. Especially when add ham, cheese, jalapeno

Unsanitary. The door is kept open and flies fly inside and land on donuts. Im pretty the workers know but dont care. More than half of the donuts arent kept in a case.

I only go in for one type of donut. They have a pretty good variety but I havent tried them.

Fresh donuts made all day long. They make breakfast croissants my favorite is the bacon, ham, sausage, egg, and cheese.They also have croissants filled with cheese and jalapenos.

These Doughnuts are the Bomb! They are really fluffy and moist throughout. Excellent flavor that you gotta try for yourself.

I think they are the freshest and best tasting donuts around, they also sell sandwiches, places to sit, and the prices are fair.

My favorite donut spot every Sunday morning before church, they have a great Sunday special for 14 donuts for $12, cant complain when you have a lot of kids and a low price for a dozen, there always shocked up with lots of donuts and very clean

Very fluffy donuts and fresh donuts. Large in size. Way better than the ones from Yum Yum La Mesa.

They open super early ! I had some donuts at 5:30 am ! And delicious

I buy donuts really rare, but when I do, its from Sunny Donuts

Well-established family owned, great service perfect food friendly

Delicious and inexpensive food

The donuts here are always fresh. The only issue Ive had was they dont fill the jelly donuts. I didnt get any jelly until the very last bite. I ate it there and was able to show the person working. He said that he had a new person and he would make sure theyre filled properly. Ive been back several times and still same jelly donut disappointment. First world problems..

Great special 2 donuts & large coffee 3.49 mmmmmm

Amazing little shop! Great owners.

Excellent donuts. We buy a dozen for our childrens youth group every sunday. Good variety always fresh and staff very nice.

Most fluffy donut ive ever had!

I go out of my way, passing other donutvpla es to come here - the absolute best!

Very good apple fritter.

Pretty fresh. good selection. pretty fair prices

This place usually has the freshest doughnuts around. They melt in your mouth and really are the best tasting doughnuts. This particular visit was a bit of a let down. Doughnuts were dry and edges were hard. Will still go back again, hoping this was just an off day or just the wrong time of day maybe.

This is a mom and pop operated shop and I absolutely love the customer service and also these are the best donuts in the world!

I love that this place is open 24 hours a day. Sometimes you just crave a donut at 1 in the morning...

Delicious donuts.....just like Dunkin! Old style bar seating. My kids love it

Good donuts. I think the early morning one are a bit better than the evenings

Vanilla cream filled is my perfect sweet.

Good donuts. Friendly staff. Excellent prices. Enjoy.

Coffee and donuts was delicious.

No vanilla sprinkles I was very disappointed

Quick and friendly service with a smile. Good selection of donuts and price was reasonable.

Same as it was 35 years ago except dirty!!!!

I always come here on weekends, this is my local doughnut shop. Delicious doughnuts friendly staff, and last time I was in a tried their breakfast sandwich-it was huge, meaty, cheesy and so tasty!

Wonderful staff, wonderful donuts and coffee.

They were so fresh...I will be back.

Average donuts but good no doubt. Cant go wrong here.

I tried this place a few times and every time, no matter what time of day I arrive, the doughnuts are stale. I want them to be good because their other locations are, but this one seems to be doing everything wrong.

I get really bad migraines from preservatives used in most donut shops and bakeries. A dozen donuts over the course of 3 days and still no migraine! I will get my donuts here 😍
