20 Best Donuts near Burlingame

“I was picking up my wife from SFO and arrived around the neighborhood way early. Not even Panera was open at 5. I was so glad that a donut shop like this opened at 5am so I could get some food.

Store looked pretty clean and I was excited that I could get a hot savory item like #3: sausage, egg and cheese croissant. There wasn’t really room in the shop to eat so I started munching it in my car. It sure hit the spot at 5:30AM. I saved half of the croissant for my wife and got her several donuts.

The donuts tasted pretty good too. I’ll be sure to visit if I have to get to SFO early again. I gotta try one of those bigger donuts next time.“

“A Burlingame sweet American donut story pass on from a Polish Jewish immigrants- Philip Kares who open the shop in the late 1970’s; sold it to the Chows in the 80’s, to the Lu’s and now passed on to the Choi. Special memorable thanks to Philip and his family, the staffs—Kathy, Alversia, Alfonso, Mike, Ray, Steve, Genie, —and the many wonderful customers who help made this place specials...“

“I had to stop by Royal Donut Cafe because of all of the great reviews I saw on Yelp! And I must say that I wasn't disappointed at all! The staff was awesome! From the cashier, to the cooks, and the server. And I even got a chance to meet the owner, Terri, who has taken over the business for the past 15 years! Definitely going to be a regular here! I ordered the vegetarian omelet! 😋“

“Honestly one of the most unique, delicious fresh donuts I have tasted. Great customer service that always gets your order right! Highly recommend this place!“

“It’s my first time here, when I was approached by one of the guys behind the counter I told him right away that my son has peanut allergy, so he asked what kind of donuts for him? I said 2 Chocolate glazed with sprinkles and he went inside and made it for him… that is exceptional service…
Donuts were fresh and delicious… will be back whenever we’re around the area.“

“Fritters are great for a treat“

“Their donuts are simply the best. Don’t pass up on the chance to have at least one maple cover donut as their maple is delicious and unique!“

“As i was drinking my wonderful coffee I opened my bad of donuts only to find a surprise.They gave me donut holes with my order!! That was so thoughtful of them so I wanted to make sure everyone knows this place goes above and it is super clean too.“

“Todos esta delicioso , hay café y breakfast sándwich“

“Wonderful texture, and great value for money with too good to go. I got the ube, churro and funnel flavors along with a iced coffee.
Ube: No ube flavor, just the color but still nice
Churro: The best of them all
Funnel cake: A little bitter weirdly
Iced coffee: Way too sweet but refreshing“

“I must tell you, this is the best donut I have ever tasted. I had the apple fritter donuts and my husband had the caramel donuts. Wow wow wow, the staff were nice, service was good and the donuts were amazing. All the staff, especially the male staff were always so happy and cheerful. I wish we have a happy donuts in England. When next we are in San Francisco, we will definitely return to get more donuts.“

“I found this place while waiting for my food next door surprisingly. Other than the kid-favorite sprinkled donuts and holes, we asked them about their Filipino menu items . They apparently are known for their empanadas. People were coming in to buy trays full of them for their parties. I had to try them.Now each time I’m driving through the area, I swing by. They rarely have them in the donut display shelves. You need to ask them if they have them in the back. They do a great job for a small shop! ??“

“Their donuts are simply the best. Don’t pass up on the chance to have at least one maple cover donut as their maple is delicious and unique!“

“Most donut shops. I go to are a little bit messy and unorganized. This one is a completely opposite, very nice atmosphere. Super clean organized. They have freshly squeezed orange juice, baked goods, breakfast sandwiches, Energy drinks. Both ladies were amazing, super friendly professional, highly recommend this place.
To add I've never seen Lotto in Donutshop🤑“

“Very friendly couple at the counter. Always get a box of a dozen donuts here from time to time. They make them really good here, though I recommend getting them before 8am because the donut options get slimmer as the morning goes on. Browsing their menu, they have quite a variety of breakfast and lunch items that look good.“

“One of my favorite donut spots. Love the donut holes and the coffee is actually pretty good.

Parking: Parking lot is shared and there's usually tow trucks. There's also a clothing drop off box. Lots a little busted. Not too long ago they fixed the sidewalk and driveway but still a little easy to miss if you're not paying attention“

“I recently visited Happy Donuts Redwood City, a charming local spot known for its freshly made donuts. The moment I bit into one, I could tell these were crafted with care—the donuts were wonderfully fluffy, light, and had just the right amount of sweetness. They tasted exactly how you'd hope a homemade donut would, with a comforting and satisfying texture that speaks to the quality of the ingredients and the skill of the bakers.

However, I did notice that the presentation could use a little polish. While the taste was spot on, the donuts lacked that visual appeal that often elevates the experience. They weren’t as eye-catching as you might expect from a specialty shop, which could be a minor letdown if you're looking for something Instagram-worthy.

Worth the try for sure early morning!!“

“I have never written a review for a restaurant before, but I had to for this place. Me and my friends are road-tripping down the coast of California and we stopped for gas and noticed this breakfast spot near by. Walking in you can feel the warm energy of the owners and they are immediately there to help you. The food ended up being a 10/10, absolutely amazing. I got the BLT on a bagel and was thrilled. They even chatted with us and gave us each a free donut. The kindness of these owners and the vibe and quality of the restaurant is unmatched. I’m writing this as I’m eating I’m so happy.

The Vietnamese coffee may be the greater thing I’ve ever had.“

“Staff is friendly, donuts are to die for, and the offerings are limitless!

Vegetarian options: Everything is sweet and revolves around fruits!

Kid-friendliness: Kids (including this grownup kid) love the donuts!“
