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!

Great donuts and great people. They have a pretty unique maple flavor compared to most places (been to over 50 donuts spots from all around the Bay). It has a roasted, buttery flavor that isn’t overly sweet and makes you crave another one. They also usually have donut holes on deck for those who like their holes and sometimes cronut holes available.

The best donuts I have ever had in my life, and I’ve had a lot. It’s fluffy and delicious. It doesn’t upset my stomach like the others. It seems they use wholesome ingredients. Definitely will be back for more.

Favorite donut shop, try anything maple

This place uses the cleanest fry oil! The donuts are so great! The yeast dough is soft and fluffy, and the cake dough is perfectly crumbly. I would drive 1 hour to get donuts this good.

Wheelchair accessibility: The door is a tight fit, when the line of customers has to stand where it opens.
