My family has been coming here for YEARS. my absolute favorite is the cinnamon twist. Their original glaze & maple are also so good. I also enjoy the ham and cheese with jalapeño croissant & jalapeño bagel. They can warm it up for you too. Staff is so nice. There is seating inside. Outside can be kinda sketchy from time to time read more

Great selection of donuts fresh every morning. Service is prompt and friendly and they even have Vietnamese Iced Coffee if you need a little extra kick in the morning! read more

Excellent service and food good for breakfast with reasonable prices. Have enough parking. All the tables are kind of messy but not sure how often they clean. Other than that it was good experience read more

Always fresh, soft donuts. Great selection and great tasting donuts. Opens early and friendly staff

Honestly this place has Peterson's beat, much fresher doughnuts and much better customer service. I got an apple fritter today and the sweet woman helping me snuck an extra doughnut into my bag for free. I definitely will be going back, not only because that was a sweet gesture, but because it was delicious! I'm not sure if this is family run, but let's keep this small business alive! read more

Love all the variety that they have. My favorite maple bars are always stocked. Love that I can pick up two boxes on the way to work.

The most delicious ham and cheese pastry you've ever put in your mouth!!!! Such a lovely family run business!!! Opens super early, coffee is hot and delicious. Place inside is well kept and clean. You can literally smell the donuts down the street, I should know. Yum and yummer!!! read more

Excellent service and delicious donuts. Came in on a last minute purchase of donut holes. Ended up with 23 dozen. They were accommodating and very nice. read more

These donuts are 100 times better than Peterson's or anything out there. They also wont break the bank, they are affordable and absolutely delicious! My wife and I dropped by around 2PM because she was craving a cinnamon twist. This was our first time coming to this place so we seemed a bit turned off because she only had about 25 donuts left. My wife asked me if we should go somewhere else that might have more for us to choose from, I took a gamble and I'm glad we did. The place was very welcoming. She attended us right away. The place was nice and cool, very great ambiance. She was about to close for the day so she gave my wife and I some additional donuts for us to try, free of charge! It was a bit of a drive for us since we live in Vista, but we will be forsure coming back here! Great Job! read more

Of all the donuts I've tried in Escondido, San Marcos, San Diego, and even Riverside, this place is the best. They've got the best donuts and croissants. Nothing fancy. Just simple donuts. I've been coming here for over two years. read more

Best donuts!!! We come here all the time. Nothing fancy and not overpriced. The classic glaze twist literally melts in your mouth. One time I came in right before they closed and when I got home I realized the woman stuffed my box with free donuts that I didn't even order-so nice!! read more

I Love these donuts! They do not feel over powered with an oil taste! I stopped by around 11:30am and there were still SEVERAL options available. The service is always quick and customer service is excellent! I am usually the type of person to eat only 1 donut because they are too sweet but I can eat up to 2 from this spot! I also appreciate the hours as most donut shops close by 12! If you're looking for fresh and delicious donuts this is the place to go! read more

Neighborhood donut spot that is consistently excellent. Good prices and excellent breakfast croissant sandwiches. The chocolate yeast donuts are mouthwatering. My favorite item is the bagels. They are fresh daily and you can taste the love they are made with. read more

Experience has been great until recently, they started selling their day old ham and cheese croissants and pass them off as fresh. I understand they're not "bad" but selling soggy croissants for the full price is kind of crazy. read more

Donuts are fresh and worth the price. Nice variety. Crowded on weekends for a reason.

Donuts are so good and soft. Everyone is so kind here! I recommend this place. To me, it's hidden away but a gem. We'll be back again read more

Mart's Donuts - Thank you for the donuts!!!! - Donuts Near Me - Escondido, California

I have never tried this donut shop (as I have been loyal to another Escondido donut shop for years), but wanted to give this place a try based on all of the good reviews I'd seen online. The donuts were soft and fresh... and really good! They also had fresh bagels and ham and cheese croissants that looked good. Service was fast and efficient. Parking is tight but feasible. I'll definitely be back! read more

This place is wonderful!! I've been going to Mart's Donuts since I was 16 years old and now 39. The service is on point. It's not the fanciest ambiance, but they do make amazing donuts and ham & cheese croissant sandwiches. My boyfriend gets the jalapeño ham & cheese croissant sandwich (couple jalapeños are inside of this sandwich too), so if your not a fan of spicy sandwiches I would skip this one and go for the regular instead. read more

Mart's Donuts - Chocolate Bar and Ham & Cheese Croissant! - Donuts Near Me - Escondido, California

I walked into this Donut shop about a month ago. It was on a weekend, About 11:00 A.M. There were approximately TWO (2) Trays of Donuts being displayed, and all the same type. I asked if this was all they had.They said Yes. Don't bother with this place. Especially when 6 Donuts is going to run you a little over $20.00...Such a Joke ! read more

This place has the best ham and cheese croissant, they are always fresh. The bake the ham and cheese inside, compared to other places they will cut open the croissant and add in. Their donuts are also delicious as well. read more

We just stopped by on a whim and boy, were we delighted! We got a selection of various treats and they were all great. And such a value too! We'll be back. read more

The donuts are great! I went with traditional glazed. The owners are very sweet and I was only there for a bit but they are very welcoming and the donuts were delicious! I would recommend this place to anyone! read more

Love this place, used to always come here after classes back in high school. Staff is sweet, and they're very generous when ordering in bulk, and the donuts are always good. read more

Classic donuts here, no frills. The bread is super fresh and moist, taste is great. I was freaking out from noticing extra donuts in my bag, then I saw others mention it's something that the lady does sometimes. She was pretty nice, and can never say anything less than 5 stars to free donuts lol! I was freaking out about the ghost donuts, but honestly do come here if you need a classic donut fix. read more

Mart's Donuts - Jalapeño ham and cheese, jalapeño bagel, apple fritter, glazed donut - Donuts Near Me - Escondido, California

Surprised me! My local donut shop doesn't always have crullers and ended up here on a total whim. Was very surprised in the variety! Was happy with the taste and texture of the donuts. Got my cruller and an apple fritter. Will not hesitate to come back. Feels like an old school donut shop... like a Winchells, nostalgic. read more

GREAT quality donuts!! I've lived my entire life in Escondido and have always wanted to stop inside to try these donuts. Today, I HAD TIME. Service was great and the donuts were delicious. Glad I put my curiosity to rest. I have now experienced Mart'a Donuts and can say, with confidence, they were delicious! read more

Super friendly owners (I'm assuming) & the donuts & ham & cheese croissants are so good.

Fresh- even mid afternoon... Owner so nice and generous too which is a plus. Best donuts in town, just like they say... the rumors are true. read more

This posting /review needs to be updated! The photos don't show what's typically available! My husband & I visited this shop, based on the photos posted, but we're sadly disappointed! There were only a few choices & what was in the case did NOT look fresh! This was early on a week day! No excuses! read more

Been going here since I was 8. Im now 25 and live in San Marcos but this is still my go to spot for donuts

The donuts here were just okay. Definitely nothing to write home about. We came in around 11 and they still had a pretty decent selection. The service wasn't great and they had "hand cleaner" aka sanitizer out for patrons. Unfortunately, it appeared that water had been added to the sanitizer because this thin liquid with a strange smell came out of the bottle. If you really want donuts, it's ok, but I've certainly had better. read more

This place... I've tried lots of different donut places. Fancy ones, not so fancy ones and I always come back to Mart's. These donuts are so good. Simple but yet so fresh and delicious. I usually get a dozen and even day old donuts from here are better than fresh ones at another place. There's something about their chocolate and dough that's stands out. It may be because they use better ingredients? It's my go to donut place. Better than Peterson's any day. read more

I discovered marts donut shop on my daily walk. Less than a mile from my house and I am so lucky to have this shop next to me! The only con is I won't be loosing any weight from walking anymore! The lady was very sweet and I came in the afternoon so there wasn't as much selection. I was surprised at how moist the donuts are even though they weren't fresh. I can only imagine how delicious they are in the early mornings. Very reasonable price for donuts and you can't go wrong here. My sons favorite is the apple filled turnover donut and mine is the maple bar. read more

The very best donuts in town, always fresh and tasty! Excellent and friendly service!

I had a donut craving and thought it would be nice to get to know the neighborhood more by stopping by a local donut shop. I was so glad to find this place. Not only do they serve delicious donuts, the staff or owner is so nice and pleasant. She definitely gave me more donuts than I paid for. Would recommend visiting this spot! read more

Best donuts in Escondido and nice people too! The donut is so delicious you could give the iced top to a friend and still be totally in love with the flavor. I personally LOVE the icing but am just saying if you wanted to share with someone. But best of all is to buy two, or three, or more donuts and don't share at all...ha! I'm pretty sure you'll be happy you found this place! :)) read more

Donuts tasted fresh and so many to pick from. Everyone got what they wanted! Easy in and out!

Good spot for donuts. Stopped in here one morning and ordered a dozen donut holes. Good size and taste good. Staff is friendly. Plenty of tables inside to sit. There is plenty of parking available. The lot is easy to get in and out off. read more

Best Donuts in Escondido! Friendly owner! Open early for those early birds! Place small but clean.
