Great customer service today at least! So great i decided to finally write a review!! We can in at around 8:30 the older gentle man that works here he says he used to be a comedian is the best worker here really nice he is doing great here I’m thankful for the great customer service and him making sure we were happy with our order.. not everyone is this amazing with customer service anymore only a very few times am I really happy with service I get from any place. But today I was super happy and it was a great start to my day I never got to say thank you cause they got busy and we didn’t get to see him on the way out but the girl that brought us our food was nice also great job guys and thank you much appreciated only one Time out of all the times I’ve been here which is a lot was one employee rude to me but other then that great service and these employees today made up for it !!

Simply amazing!The shop is so cute, the staff is amazingly friendly. They really make you feel like your family when you come in. The donuts are perfect, large, extremely tasty and fresh. Not much more to say! I couldn’t think of one thing to change about this place. Hands down best donuts in El Cajon.

I gotta say I’m impressed with this hidden gem that is located in East County. It offers fresh tasting donuts. Best of all the shop is open 24 hours. The staff is super kind and friendly. Best Apple fritter donut and cream puffs are amazing. You gotta visit this donut shop and give them a try.

The shop is located in the corner of the strip mall near Boot Barn. Once you drive into the lot you will see it. It is a local business not a chain. Their donuts are splendid. They have a nice variety to choose from. I was there in the afternoon and the display case still had plenty of choices. There were bear claws, apple fritters, Bavarian cream and raspberry filled and cruelers tu mention a few. The donuts are light and fluffy, too. Yum! I did not detect any greasy after flavor.The woman at the counter was very nice and helpful. She explained the shop is owned by her family and the bakers family. Did I say they are open 24 hours a day?

Hands down BEST donut shop in East County!! All the donuts tasted great and were fresh. You got to try the bacon maple bar, cream puffs and glaze twists. The store is really clean and friendly staff. Our new go to donut shop :)

Review №45

The BEST, fresh, light and airy,, perfectly crisp, NON-GREASY donuts. I have never, ever had such great buttermilk, old-fashioned, apple fritters, and raised donuts, not to mention their insane, specialty donuts that look more like party cakes. The family owned business is a BIG hit with us-- open late nights ( 24 hrs!), and they DELIVER! You absolutely must try a dozen. Youll find they stay fresh longer than others, and dont leave a grease film in your mouth!

Review №52

Found this donut shop by accident. I work right around the corner from here and never knew they were here. I decided to buy donuts for my crew and I always prefer to support local businesses. I went to my normal spot, and they were closed & looked like they may have shut down. I drove past Dunkin and the drive through line was a hot mess, so I skipped it. I had given up on donuts and as I turned up Arnele I saw banners that said Donuts & pulled in. I am so glad I did! Nice little spot next to one of my favorite stores, Turners. I dont know how I never saw it before today. But the customer service was outstanding and the donuts were GOOD!! This is my new go to spot, and they offer sandwiches too which Im looking forward to trying. Highly recommend.

Great donuts in a really cute location. Donuts are super fresh and delicious. Their apple fritters, cinnamon rolls and bear claws are delightful and the size of a small child!! A half dozen, plus one crazy bear claw came out to $11

I was very pleased to see that these donuts met my expectations. After looking for a 24 hour donut shop in El Cajon I googled Holey Donuts. I must say I was greeted by two gentlemen that were making more donuts. My family was pleased and amazed at the taste of these donuts. I will say that these cannot compare to the big chain donut shops that are out there. If you are looking for the best donuts in El Cajon this is the place to go to. Besides they have the best customer service.

Born and raised in east county so im a regular at the legendary donut shop in santee and lakeside but I tried this spot out... and I hate to say it theyre just as good if not better lol. Amazing pb&j donut ! The donut itself was soft and the right amount of glaze with a thick peanut butter smear ontop. Good jelly fill.I will be coming back thats for sure and spreading the word among friends and family.Also huge location if after the pandemic you would like to enjoy some of their great selection of coffee not just basic coffee. All of that and still isnt crazy pricey like you see some of these new donut shops that are all hipster and charge $5 for a donut lolGreat family spot. Highly recommended 👌

Came here on a random search for an early & fast breakfast with my sister and had one of the most positive and friendly interactions you could have asked for first thing in the morning! The owner (who I was told opened her shop during the pandemic - shout-out to you girl!!) was not present but her father and the the rest of her staff represented her and her business very well and I will never forget my experience here at Holey Donuts! Thank you for that strawberry shortcake donut - it changed my life lol & thanks for the shirts also☺️

Review №87

Fresh, freindly service for a great varity at a great price. From maple bacon, blueberry filled, PB&J, giant 6 inch cinnamon rolls for $2, giant apple fritters, bear Claws that huge and can at least feed a few people and raspberry cream puffs. Plenty more unique doughnuts than that, but if you want to try some new doughnuts youve never had before along with the classic at a big size and a great price check this place out !!! Itll far surpass your expectations I 4.9 stars is great but still doesnt do it justice.

Great selection of donuts- soft!♡ Their coffee is homey and tastes great! They use a quality flavor for their coffee as well. A great friendly small shop that belongs in the community. Were from rancho Cucamonga and stopped in El Cajon to see family and check out the gun shop. So glad we stopped by this place. I will definitely return whenever we come down.
