MartsDonut — Restaurant in Escondido

Anyone can go to a Dunkin or Krispy Kreme for a fake donut. Did you know that most Dunkin Donuts doesn’t even make their own donuts on site? Yup. They are made in a central kitchen somewhere else and then shipped with the falsity of being made fresh for the consumer. Some are fresh frozen then delivered and well, eeww. If you want a real donut that doesn’t taste like it came off an assembly line, please help support this small mom ‘n’ pop shop. It is located on a busy street with parking available. It is always busy for a reason: quality donuts at reasonable prices. What more could you ask for?

There is a nice variety of options to select from. They even have the old school donut in regular or chocolate covered: Old Fashioned Donut! And their Cinnamon Roll is the size of a plate! Mom loves their Maple Bar. Everything is always fresh and the service is great. I tried them once because I like to support small businesses and I keep going back. Mart’s is the only donut shop for mom and I because it is a REAL donut shop. Not some franchise with waxy, fake freshness. Yeah...

Not a good experience. I bought a couple of apple claw donuts. That's a premium donut with Apple filling. They cost $2.50 which I think is a little bit expensive. But when my friend and I ate them we discovered there was absolutely no apple filling inside. I realize that everyone makes mistakes, but really? The unfortunate problem with many fast food establishments is that you don't usually realize there's a problem until your 10 MI away. And it's not like you're going to break open all of your donuts to make sure they have filling. That's why it's up to the establishment to make sure that your product is prepared correctly and you get the right items. My thoughts are, if two of these donuts had no feeling some are all of the rest of them were probably the same. Needless to say, I won't be...

I've been hesitant to write a review for this place because I love this place so much that I dont want anyone else to know about it. Its perfect just the way it is and I dont want it to get too popular...but thats just selfish of me. The world must know. This is best donut shop in San Diego. Yes, I said it. Better than VGs, better than Petersens, better than any of those trendy artisanal craft donut shops like Nomad donuts or whatever popped up on the last year or so. This place is run the sweetest old man, and sure, sometimes you walk in and he's asleep at the table, or playing cards with some of his 60+ year old buddies but he's quick to get back on his feet and help you get your donut fix....
