37 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!“

“Small unassuming shop on the corner, you'd never guess from the look of the place that the donuts are fresh and amazing. Google says they open at 4 but it's actually 4:30 usually. I've had the glazed, the old fashioned/old fashioned chocolate, and the cake donuts (along with the complimentary donut holes) and they were all superb. Highly recommended especially if you can get there right when they open!

Parking: I think there's 8-10 parking spots. People don't loiter, they get their donuts and go!“

“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!“

“Todos esta delicioso , hay café y breakfast sándwich“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“I am moving houses and didn’t have anything set up yet so I walked over and was warmly greeted by the owner. I realized I forgot my wallet and was about to walk out, but he offered me a coffee and donut and said, “I trust you, you can pay it tomorrow”. Wow, just wow. That level of kindness took me by surprise. I drove back to pay him. A great family establishment.“

“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!“

“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 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!!“

“💜 Loved da UBE mini-donuts! 😋“

“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“

“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!“

“Couldn't afford the entire price for a dozen donut holes. The nice lady broke it down for me and gave me like 8 or 9 donut holes or whatever the amount was to the pocket change i was paying with.Donut holes were all very good. Fresh. Tasty.Got pulled over by police 3 miles down the road though. Wish i had some donut holes left to offer them to the officer ....but luckily i was let go on a warning.“

“Best bran muffins and I love the pumpkin pie.“

“1st time there but I liked it. wouldbdefinelty go back“

“súper delicioso, los croissant especiales son lo mejor“

“Everything there is the best! You will not be disappointed!“

“Fantastic corner donut shop with more than just great sweets. Friendly and warm staff. Their bacon, egg, and cheese on croissant is top notch. I have it almost every weekend. They also have great banh mi! I really love the combination cold cut and the BBQ pork. Ask for it spicy for some fresh jalapeño!“

“Good place to quickly grab a bite and head to the train station. Variety of Donuts and coffee. Try visiting this store in the mornings before 9 for fresh coffee, donuts and other items. Street parking is available around the store but it could get tight later in the day.“

“So yummy love them best donuts so good ty“

“Delicious & fresh coffee and donuts 😍“

“Although it looks divey, the donuts are pretty good and I was impressed on how good their banh mi was…like wow. The filling to bread ratio is worth it and the flavors were awesome. The bread is thin and flakey just how I like it for a low carb diet. And the veggies were fresh. A good assortment of drinks, coffee and much more. Thanks! I’ll be back!“

“customer service is beyond amazing. fast and quick. owners are very friendly and sweet.“

“Stumbled upon this gem while looking for placed to have breakfast near by our motel. I highly reccomend one of their breakfast sandwiches on a croissant! They were huge! I had a latte which was delicious as well. We ordered a Vietnamese sandwich and a chocolate croissant for later. They were so good as well. The bakery was very clean. The guy running the front (I am assuming he is the owner) was so friendly. I wish i was able to try all of the things. If I ever find myself traveling back to SanFrancisco I would make it a point to come back to get some breakfast“

“Dunkin in Redwood City does it right! Totally like an original DDs. I lived over 20 years in Boston where DDs is on every third corner lol. I always loved the consistency in taste and the great prices for coffee and bagels with cream cheese. Now I love also their iced green tea. What a delight. The first DDs in our area in San Carlos just didn’t get it right. I was thrilled with this one in Redwood City. Wonderful service and great donuts and bagels.“

“I went to a Starbread at a different location a few years ago and fell in love with the señiorita bread. I was in San Francisco for a few days and found out there was a Starbread here as well. I wanted to go back and get the bread that I remembered being so good. Well, this place did not disappoint! The señiorita bread was actually better here, it was fresh and sweet and buttery! Because I was traveling back home, I only got 10 for $6 however next time I will be getting a bigger box to bring back home!“

“Food (Lomi was the best) and service was good. Starbread AmAzing as always! 😋“

“Love ❤️ it. Missed it so much since we don’t have in Alberta“

“Best Dunkin I have ever been to. The staff is so amazing and friendly. They know their regulars and are always happy to see us. We love to come here in the morning for our drinks and breakfast to kickstart the day! The staff is committed to getting your order right and ready as soon as they possibly can. We will be back just about every morning from now on!“
