    A variety pack
    Michaela I.

    We get donuts here all the time for work. It's a quaint shop in the shopping center, but the donuts are phenomenal. My issue with most 24 hour donut places is the weird sugar film/aftertaste that I believe comes from when the oil is old, but I've never had that experience with this place. The staff are all very sweet and friendly, the donuts, airy and pillowy with a generous amount of frosting. Great for classic donuts!

    Came here with a friend after a dance class in the same lot on a Saturday morning. It was quite busy inside with about 75% of the seats taken. At around 10:15am, they still had a good selection of treats. We were warmly greeted and since it was busy, they had several people helping patrons. I got a lemon filled donut and my friend got the mini apple fritter. Both were delicious! Definitely a great donut spot that I'll come back to again.

    Delicious & fresh donuts. Perfectly cooked. We had the Boston cream filled chocolate donut, apple fritters, maple donut and a couple other donuts. Highly recommend.

    Cute small donut place. There are so many options that you can choose. The donut is good. We also got the pistachio Frappuccino and it's very good as well. Great customer service and there are table if you want to sit and enjoy.

    Five stars because these donuts have to be my most favorite in SD! I bought a dozen and everyone I shared them with loved them. The shop is small yet cozy. Lots of parking in the lot, I will definitely return for more doughnuts!

    I love these local donut shops that still operate 24 hours a day because they allow the flexibility to visit at anytime. Sunny Donuts is located in the Hazard Village of Kearny Mesa. The shop is in the south end of the plaza where parking is more plentiful because the businesses are not as densely packed as the row along the northern perimeter. For a place that never closes, I was surprised to learn they don't have a public restroom for customers to use. A small menu board behind the service counter listed the prices for the beverages, donuts, muffins, and croissant sandwiches without getting into specific flavors. The cost was based on size and/or quantity. The available selections seemed to be a little over half of the full capacity of the display racks. Individual donuts cost $1.85 each which seemed higher than similar shops in other neighborhoods. I bought one Glazed Twist, one Jelly (blueberry), and one Raspberry for my donut order. After sampling a little bit of each one, my favorite was the blueberry jelly. The dough was very soft and had the right ratio of filling. In a perfect world, I would have purchased a half dozen, but donuts get stale quickly if they are not consumed within 48 hours. For the price and quality of the products I tried at Sunny Donuts, I gave my visit a four star rating.

    Good seatings and lots of selection of donuts! They were $2 for one, and I got the coconut kreme donut and chocolate dip. They were both pretty good and service was fast too

    I was craving donuts to go with my morning coffee, I got crunch donut holes, and an old-fashioned maple. Nothing special and my donut holes don't taste fresh.

    The staff is so friendly and kind at Sunny's. They're open 24/7 which is awesome. The gals have let me sample some donuts when I was in between flavors which was so sweet. They even throw in some extra donut holes from time to time. The glazed twist is my favorite from here since it's like a cloud that just melts in your mouth. They have bar seating inside which reminds me of an old school diner and it's so cute. Anytime I'm in the area I like to drop by for a sweet treat here.

    This is a small family owned business I met the owner and had the opportunity to talk to him. He was literally the nicest guy ever. 10/10 donuts 10/10 croissant sandwiches Y'all go support them

    Dryness
    Natasha Y.

    Pass, old stale donuts and not much of a selection, the only good thing is they are open 24/7, we got 5 different ones and it was all old crusty dryness. Not very nice customer service either. Would never come back.

    We were craving doughnuts pretty late and luckily this place was open 24 hours a day. The doughnut are freshly Made! They are definitely fresh and delicious. They do go stale pretty fast so you know the ingredients being used are fresh. Make sure if you have any left over to put them in a closed container to keep them fresh. The place was so cute and welcoming. Overall they were delicious and would ice to go get doughnuts when more availability are there.

For a company that markets itself as "premium" and "clean," that doesn't really match the image they're selling. The more I ate them, the worse I felt afterward, which eventually led me to look into the ingredients. Once I found out they use palm oil, it made a lot more sense why they never seemed to sit well with me. I understand everyone's body is different, but for me, it's the main reason I stopped going. If they ever switch to a better oil, I'd definitely be willing to give them another try. That said, the service is amazing and the staff has always been friendly.

    FOR THE WIN!!! (4.75 stars)…read more I love donuts. And I tend to stick to basic classical donuts. And therefore I am late to the trend with the mochi donuts! This location is inside Bober Tea and Coffee. There is a glass casing with several flavors to choose from and they sell at $3 a piece. The one that stood out to me was the chocolate with sprinkles. Upon receiving it in a paper pocket bag, the icing was rubbing off on the bag. That immediately told me this is super fresh! I could already feel the softness of the donut. The little sectioned off ball looking segments of the donut are also a game changer when it comes to eating - easier to eat without making a mess! The texture was bouncy, soft, lightly chewy and a little stretchy... the texture was fun and I found myself wanting another afterwards. I do wish they had offer other flavors that don't sounds too sweet because the other flavors didn't really catch me. Until the next review...

The fluffiness reminded me more of a beignet and brioche. Will be back to try more flavors! 5/13- We returned for more. These were made to order and topping to dough ratio was too much. Maybe they were being generous, but they were overly sweet today. Bourbon Caramel, Strawberry Shortcake, Lemon, Blueberry Hill, Mango Margarita and Turtle Cheesecake.

We picked out two beautiful donuts, the Chocolate Abuelita and the Cajeta. The Cata looked really nice, but was very plain tasting.
