Solid donut place- this place has a lot of history and has been there for a good while.
The donuts was solid, the service was good. I think they have some specialty donuts but they go really quick. I would say- quality looks 4/5. I would probably rate it higher if I tried the specialty ones.
Very popular, and it’s always good to support local business.

I recently photographed an engagement session at Marie’s Donuts, and it couldn’t have been more perfect! The couple wanted to incorporate their favorite donuts (and the shop itself) into their photos. The shop made such a cute, nostalgic backdrop, and the donuts looked (and tasted!) amazing. A Sacramento favorite with so much charm — highly recommend stopping by!

Nothing more than a wooden walk-up on Freeport Boulevard Marie’s Donuts nonetheless remains Sacramento’s premier Donut Shop, simple fried Dough made the same way since the 50’s still drawing crowds while So.Cal lines up for $6 hand-cut rings at places like Sidecar.
Still family-run at 70 years old, low-prices adding to its novelty, guests are greeted with a smile by staff from 10pm until 4pm with fresh options made to replenish supply of in-demand items like simple raised and glazed or Bismarks filled with Custard.
Cash or Credit over $5, the Coffee hot but no better than Folgers, Marie’s selection ranges from Cake to Fritters and Crullers, the later a bit less airy than they ought to be but Old Fashioned Cogwheels faultless beneath Maple Icing slightly penetrating as a result of being added while still hot.

Old school donut shop. Reminded me of being a kid again. Best donuts I’ve had in a long time. No other donut shop even comes close.

Lovely place with very nice workers.
Apple fritter is 11/10. Nice apple flavor. Not too sweet. Good crunch with the glaze.
Glazed donuts were soft and had just the right bite.
Would definitely come back here.

Oh boy! I think they’ve taken the trophy for best sore fritter. From SoCal to NorCal… we’ve tried so many fritters… but Marie’s might seriously be the best. The fritters and crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside. They’re not too sweet and you can actually taste and see the apples. We’ve tried coming here numerous times in the past but they’ve been sold out. Now we know why.

We visited after our lunch nearby because the donuts looked scrumptious from afar. Even at 1:30pm, they still had lots of selections available. The donuts were fluffy and soft.
– custard: it was creamy and had perfect sweetness
– raspberry donut: The raspberry jam was plenty and very good (not too sweet with a little tartness).

I recently stopped by this donut shop and was really impressed by the quality. The donuts were fresh, flavorful, and perfectly crafted, with a great variety of options. The maple bar and blueberry cake donut stood out as my favorites. I’ll definitely be back for a reliably great donut every time.

Normal donuts. Apple fritter could use more apple pieces. Cake donut was fine. Pretty small selection. I’m not sure what everyone is crazy about, I guess it must be nostalgic for people born & raised here. No seating, takeaway only. Super cute exterior but the donuts are pretty typical for an independent shop. Good, not great.

We need to continue supporting our independent donut shops! I for one, do not want the #1 East Coast donut chain ever gaining a foothold in California! Let’s do our part to keep Marie’s Donuts and all of her Donut shop friends alive !
