I never really leave reviews but I just HAD TO with this place!!! This is the best donut go to if you're looking for a delicious soft decadent donut!! There donuts are so yummy it's hard not to eat the whole dozen!! I Remember the days I used to come here when I was 10 for a special treat and honestly came back hoping to find a piece of my childhood and it was the same flavor flavor hasn't changed in 10 years still the same flavorful donuts !! And that's hard to do considering places are good but after awhile sadly things do not taste the same but this place does!!! I highly recommend! This place doesn't get half the attention it deserves !!! Love honey donuts!! Try them out and you won't be disappointed!! It's hard finding a good donut place these days and a decent price!!' This place has it all! read more

As the saying goes....I needed a donut so I got a donut. A nice clean shop with a super nice lady behind the counter. The fritter was not greasy or under cooked. It was sweet and tasted as a donut should, sweet Heaven read more

Keep in mind that they also have breakfast foods! Coffee of course and other beverages, even lottery tickets!

If possible, do not come here. Ive tried it several times and every single time, i'm unsatisfied. I finally had it today. Ordered a boba, ICE, filled to the brim with barely any tea. Just enough boba to pass and give it the name. For $9?! Man everything they serve here is passable and halfhearted. You'd think after at least 15 times of ordering something new and trying a lot of things, you're bound to find something good right? Not this place read more

This place was so cool. The donuts were still fresh at 9am. The place is nice and clean, the coffee was fresh and hot and you can smell the sweetness of them making more. The lady that helped me was so nice. The price was very reasonable. I'll definitely be back! read more

This donut shop is beyond great the donuts are amazing. I ordered a yo mango drink with caramel and it's a hit. My husband even liked it and he's not really into those drinks. And the lady who helped us today was very friendly and patient. Thank you again read more

In the area and took the opportunity to try some of their donuts... Because I love donuts. Hahah. At this time, it seems like they have all the classic/traditional donuts.. I didn't see any of the "fancy"/decorated donuts, (it was 9pm on a weekday), but the display was full. I assume the fancy stuff are during holidays and special order?? The shop itself was simple, clean, and had several tables/chairs to sit at... I got a box of 1/2 doz to go ($5+) and was pleasantly surprised that their was an extra donut added in!... Quiet guy behind the counter but he seemed nice. I tried an old fashion chocolate glazed donut, and the next day I tried a buttermilk. The donut itself was moist, dense, and slightly sweet. The glaze was just a nice thin layer with a very subtle taste. It tasted fresh. Your typical neighborhood donut shop... clean shop, fresh donuts, friendly, decent price, and open late! read more

I had a great small cinnamon roll from this donut shop. I picked one up on my way home after dinner for a little dessert. The roll was only .85 cents. (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/honey-donuts-santee-2?select=mFwXSIljgAVi6qaBlQjViw#aMkCVlH5wvC1213vcQcPxw) The cinnamon roll had a great sugary exterior crust and a moist center packed with a mild cinnamon flavor. (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/honey-donuts-santee-2?select=mFwXSIljgAVi6qaBlQjViw#pfdL_Pg_owV3GGUsB59H2A) While I was there, I checked out there apple fritters and they looked great as well. (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/honey-donuts-santee-2?select=mFwXSIljgAVi6qaBlQjViw#vDdaIYTrMPexvMYx9zffbA) They also served coffee and makes breakfast sandwiches. They have seating inside but non on the outside. (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/honey-donuts-santee-2?select=mFwXSIljgAVi6qaBlQjViw#7gGSf0qucYKhpaaArSAzjw) Nice friendly donut shop. read more

I was craving a cronut and this was the only place open in my neighborhood. Great hours and it smells of fresh baked goods. I got an Apple fritter and two cronuts. The cronuts were good but fried a little too hard. read more

First time coming and we love it. We asked for half a dozen mixed and the person who attended to us picked a great variety. My favorite is the one in the picture. For a 24 hour donut shop, the selection tastes soft and very fresh. read more

Staff is welcoming and safe! Love to promote a local business. I have been coming here for years and should have posted this sooner. Their double chocolate donuts arey favorite! Sometimes they even will throw in a extra donut when they remember me or my dad. When I moved in next door I actually was excited to live next to my favorite 24 hour donut shop. My dad says one day he's gonna win the lotto here Ice cream is also REALLY good ITS THRIFTYS! read more

I love Honey Donuts! Their Crullers are my favorite and They're constantly making new batches of donuts so they always taste fresh to me. I've been to mostly all the donut shops near me but me and my husband still drive all the way to santee for honey donuts. Something about this donut shop gives me a nostalgic feeling read more

Good old fashioned donut shop. They had cute festive designs during Christmas (snowman, Santa and red and green sprinkles donuts). In my opinion, their donuts taste just like Mary's. They have huge apple fritters that are enough for 2 people. They were fully stocked on Christmas Day! Nice and friendly ladies that work there. read more

Picked up a couple açaí bowls for the wife and kids on the way home the other day. They loved them! Quick and friendly service. The donuts looked delicious, but I was trying not to break my diet that day :-) read more

I came for the açaí . The toppings were very good but the açaí blend fell a bit flat and it was more toppings than açaí . At $6.50 it was a good value and I appreciate the fresh options from a donut shop. read more

This place is our go-to! The staff is always nice and quick. Prices are pretty fair. One downfall is the the location. It's right near a pretty seedy smoke shop and motel so you can't sit and enjoy with your kids. Perfect to pick up and go though. read more

I love donuts but not with flies & every single time I come to buy some there's always flies inside the display where they have their donuts very sad, hopefully they can do something about it read more

The açaí bowls are not good. Donuts are pretty good and staff is friendly. Super cute and cozy shop!

I can't say enough good things about this donut shop! I had a last minute holiday party at work, and needed to order 500 assorted donuts. I called and spoke to Shannon the day before the event, in desperate help, and she made it happen with no hesitation! I arrived the next morning at 7am, and Lisa was so kind to help me load all of the boxes into my car. They also had boxes of coffee that I was able to order, and even included the cups, creamer and sugars! You guys seriously saved the day! Not only are these people extremely friendly, and happy to help, but their donuts are SO deeeeeelicious!!! We got so many compliments from all of our employees about how good they were. Thank you guys so much! read more

This place is a gem. Super friendly and helpful staff. The food is super tasty. I wanted to take a pic of my sandwich to put on here but uhhh... I ate it first. 10/10 will be back. read more

We were doing a late night checkin to the Best Western hotel next door and needed a snack. At the late hour the donuts were fresh! They are made onsite, which we don't see in my home area. The mango pineapple smoothie was delicious. Yes, low key, but tasty food, clean, and prompt service. Prices were right, too. We will be back to try the croissants and sandwiches. 4 days later I'm back to add that we ended up walking over every night for a different, fresh cooked donut! We will be back! read more

Fresh, very good and clean. My go to place for a warmed up croissant and coffee. Can't wait to try the cronut next time I visit and I love that they have thrifty ice cream. read more

I love this place. They have a big selection of fresh donuts . I ordered a half dozen for just 5.25 . What a deal! They also have sandwiches and a nice drink menu . I highly recommend this donut shop. read more

Honey Donuts - Awesome half dozen donuts - Donuts Near Me - Santee, California

Super cute little donut shop that also sells sandwiches, açaí and other food items. They're very sweet and greeted us with a smile. They accept EBT for all the food there which is awesome, I wanted to leave a tip but when I paid with EBT the machine didn't prompt a tip. Next time I will tip generously I'm sorry about that. read more

I don't know if I go in at a bad time or what... There's a ver small selection. One time I went in with my kids who had to have donuts and there were some apple fritters and some crusty looking donuts and twists, at around 3 pm and the lady said she wasn't making more donuts that day... At 3pm! Anyway... We walked out empty handed and found another donut shop instead I would give it a higher rating because the lady at the counter is always friendly and chatters with my very silly kids every time we went there but for a place called sunny donuts they're lacking in the donut variety department. If they had a better selection we'd go more often since they're close to home read more

If you're driving through residential sections east of, say, Western Avenue or on the westside in Mar Vista or Venice, do you see these everywhere you go? You're not alone. These horizontal wooden slat fences are everywhere. Once you see it, you can't unsee it. There's not necessarily one way to pin a slat, but there are common variations on the theme: It's not clear where or when this wooden slat revival started exactly, but it was roughly a decade or so ago and has been creeping through Los Angeles like kudzu ever since. In decades to come, it'll be a signifier for the exhaustive pace at which the city has changed in the past 5 to 10 years--for better or worse. And even though it can be spotted throughout the greater L.A. area or other markets entirely, architectural designer read more

Was dropping off a client late in the suburbs of Santee when I saw this Beacon of donuts. Stop in to find out there a 24-hour joint on the weekend their donuts are a mere 1.05. I couldn't resist and got a cinnamon crunch donut that hit the spot. Old school cake style donuts for cheap what more can you ask for from a 24-hour joint? I didn't ask if they were cash-only, just assumed they were. read more

Tanya did an awesome job for being the only staff member with multiple customers waiting to order! I'm a new customer and I will definitely come back just because of her amazing service P.S. I don't understand how a donut shop at 10 am would only have one employee on site. Luckily she made the experience a good one. Thank you Tanya for the complimentary donuts. You rock girl!!! read more

Awesome donuts and super convenient. Good price as well! Great East county donut shop!

Wish I'd heard of this place sooner! Donuts fresh and tasty. I came in at 2am after having gone to yum yum donuts which had one type left- I had a heavy craving and needed more options, so my quest began. There's not much open at that hour and if they are it's not great tasting but this place was such a delight to find! Cute 24hr shop with delicious donuts in a great area. What more could you ask for? read more

Tucked away between a motel and 7-Eleven, you could almost miss this place. It's nice and clean, and you won't need to wait for someone to notice you're there. The selection isn't massive, but it's got all the yummy standards, from regular glazed, to iced cake with sprinkles. At about $14/dozen this is a good place to go on the East end of Santee for a breakfast nibble, or to pick up a dozen to thank my fur baby's groomer. read more

THE BEST breakfast sandwich of all fast food out there. The donuts and pastries are good also.Freindly staff and clean, clean, clean store. I go at least once a week. Coffee is very good. On my way to becoming a regular. You need to go there. read more

Soupy acai bowl, it was very watery. When I returned it just now, I got my money back but the lady said their acai bowls is always like that, watery. They are still currently talking pretty loud in their language while we are here eating inside and they seem very upset that I even said anything. My husband and daughter, however, are enjoying their sandwiches. read more

My boyfriend and I started coming here for the thrifty ice cream and the classic ice cream shop feel it has late at night, but now it's become our favorite date spot. When we go in the mornings we both get the egg sandwiches which are so affordable for how delicious they are that it's feels like you're stealing! And when I get their coffee they always have a variety of different creamer flavors to choose from! And if that wasn't enough to keep me hooked, the lady who is there every morning is sweet as pie and always makes us feel at home! I can't recommend this place enough! And when you go do your self a favor and try their breakfast sandwiches, seriously you won't regret it! read more
