Johnny's Donuts

I'm so glad I finally tried Johnny's Donuts, which is now my new favorite donut shop in Contra Costa County! I went in around 10am on a Thursday with two people ahead of me in line. There was a good selection of donuts with everything I was hoping for, plus a surprise of seeing they had Ube donuts (5/5)! I LOVE Ube so I had to get one.

All the donuts were fresh. I also bought a chocolate glazed (5/5), vegan chocolate sprinkles (5/5), and gave my parter a maple bar, which he enjoyed. The owner was so nice and even gave me three free donut holes with my order.

I needed to make the $10 minimum to use my credit card so I also got a Vietnamese coffee (4/5), which was strong and tasty. I sat at one of their booths to enjoy my coffee and Ube donut, and enjoyed the old school, nostalgic atmosphere. I look forward to coming back to try more of their donuts!

An old school treat, with the warmest, sweetest owners.

Best donuts and super friendly employees

Super friendly..great coffee

Welcoming atmosphere and friendly staff. I grabbed a quick coffee and donut to-go while on a morning walk with my dog and the staff added a donut hole to the bag that I found as a little surprise for her when I sat down on a nearby park bench to enjoy the snack. Great donut and great coffee from friendly staff. Five stars!

The customer service here in probably the best! They are so sweet and the donuts are sooo good!! I got the Thai tea and probably the best I’ve had. Thank you!

Traveling for work need some amazing doughnuts for my clients and they did not disappoint. Owner was amazingly helpful and kind!! The doughnuts were so good I’m still getting emails about them!!

at end of the day, for a little discount $2.10 for vegan cake donuts Fri Sat Sun This place is not affiliate with any other Johnny's Donuts out there. There's another Johnny's donut in SF

Behold—the perfect apple fritter.

I never used to like apple fritters. My mama always said that if you don’t like a food, it’s probably because you haven’t had it prepared the right way. And boy, was she right—especially when it comes to these apple fritters.

Normally, apple fritters are doughy, overcooked, dry, and suspiciously void of apples, let alone apple flavor. But that couldn’t be further from the truth here. Just look at these beauties: the crispy golden-brown exterior, the ideal thickness, the perfect size—pure perfection.

The flavor? Out of this world. These fritters are bursting with apple goodness. The first bite greets you with a satisfying crunch, softening as you work your way toward the center. All along this delicious journey, your palate is treated to a harmonious blend of apple and cinnamon, elevated by the perfect amount of REAL apple pieces.

If you’re anywhere near the East Bay, you owe it to yourself to stop by the best doughnut shop around. Johnny’s is a Lafayette institution, crafting doughnut perfection for generations. I can’t recommend it enough!

I used to come to Johnny's when I was still in high school. It was a mainstay of my young adult life. I came back today while in town to visit family and got an ube (Japanese yam) glazed donut. The folks behind the counter threw in some extra donut holes. So nice! So tasty! A mainstay of Lafayette! Keep up the good work!

I ordered off two good to go and the workers were extremely friendly and for just 5 bucks we got two full bags of donuts (around 10 donuts and plenty of donut holes). The inside is really cute as well. Will definitely be back!
