29 Best Donuts near Palo Alto

“I stopped by this donut shop and ended up trying more than just the donuts.
The burger set was a nice surprise. They make the burger fresh after you order, so it takes a little time, but it’s worth it—the veggies were really fresh and the whole thing felt a lot better than your average fast-food burger. The fries don’t season them much, so you kinda have to use the ketchup, but they were decent. For the drink, you get a can, and I went with a 7UP for something light and refreshing.
The donuts come in a wide variety, and I went with a whipped cream one—you can pick between chocolate or maple, and I chose maple. The cream inside was smooth and not overly sweet, and the maple flavor gave it a nice balance. It’s still indulgent, but not overwhelmingly sugary, which made it easy to enjoy without feeling too heavy.
The staff here are super friendly and welcoming, which really adds to the experience. Overall, it’s a great spot where you can grab a fresh burger and fries but also finish off with a donut that’s indulgent without being too sweet.“

“Randomly saw this place and was on the way back home so dropped by for their BBQ mixed plate.

Overall their portions are larger then any Hawaiian BBQ I've been too but they are a couple bucks more as well.

Chicken was great but their beef was a bit unseasoned. It was fine with the sauce but by itself was pretty mid. Mac salad was also decent.

Overall not a bad try but again big portions and also a bit more pricy. Parking is nonexistent as well.“

“My go to spot for donuts or a breakfast sandwich. Fresh Donuts & Bagel is family owned and operated and the service is always welcoming and prompt. Some of my family’s favorites are any of the glazed donuts, old fashion maple, blueberry cake (weekends only), cinnamon, chocolate bar, and most recently their apple fritter. They breakfast croissants are large and always very tasty. They also serve lunch sandwiches on croissants and bagels. This place is smaller than most spots but they do have some dine in tables inside the restaurant and some tables outside.“

“I am NOT a donut fan or afficionado but THESE ARE DELICIOUS AND AMAZING!! Tiny clean shop, very nice soft spoken staff and consistently tender , sometimes slightly warm donuts. Wonderful place and people and when I AM CRAVING one I get from here!! Bravo“

“Service was effortless, display was beautiful and menu items were very clearly and easily read. The entire place was very clean and well kept and the owner was very nice and friendly ☺️. The food is fantastic and there is little to no wait.“

“So far my boyfriend and I have tried their donuts and the egg and cheese on a croissant. The food is delicious and they even threw in free donut holes which were yummy, too. The croissant was huge and fresh. We love this place and it is now our go to spot for breakfast or lunch.“

“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.“

“Súper feliz muy agradable lugar y sobretodo es familia“

“Marty's Donuts has become a morning ritual for any days off I get to share with my husband. The donuts (and croissants!) are fresh, fluffy, and tasty, and the coffee is always stocked for our two larges. The owners have come to recognize us and remember our order, and always work diligently to make sure our visits go well. We love Marty's Donuts!“

“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!“

“This place is truly unmatched and is a local gem.

Donuts and bagels are incredible and their sandwiches; especially on the croissant, are just mouth watering.

Everyone that runs this place is a good human!

This is a regular for the family and you should give them business!“

“Todos esta delicioso , hay café y breakfast sándwich“

“I was here yesterday for the umpteenth time over a span of a couple years at this point.

The donuts, croissants, and other sweets are great, and I enjoy their breakfast food as well. They do a solid breakfast wrap, breakfast bagels, and they have iced & hot coffee as well as bananas and other drinks.

I love this place! Hope they stay in business here in RWC for a long time.“

“Everything about this place is perfect. We walk in and are immediately greeted by an incredibly friendly staff. The doughnuts were light and fluffy. When getting a filled doughnut, you have the option to choose up to two fillings (raspberry, custard, and two others which I have unfortunately forgotten). And while I did not see the teas when I first went to order, they do have an incredible selection of teas. Highly recommend if you're looking for a good doughnut and good vibes!!“

“Best in the East Bay!! Gotta love it.“

“Fluffy, fresh, and fabulous 🤩 got a regular glazed donut and it hit the spot! 🎯 No greasy after taste, super chewy, light, just enough sweetness. OMG. My new fave place! Do you have a loyalty program?!? Cuz I'll be there every day! ❤️❤️❤️ Keep up the great work!“

“Yummy donuts and so many options!“

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

“This is another location to get donuts and bagels. I’ve never been to a donut shop where it has a self-serving coffee station. Usually, staff will have to give you coffee cups. The place is small also where I came in. I kinda thought it might be quite bigger based on what I looked up online. They also serve certain pastries too, but don’t know if that’s common on other donut places.

I wouldn’t normally go here since it’s not a local restaurant, but would come here if I feel like I need to stop by here and eat.“

“This location is very clean and the staff is very kind and friendly. Even when the customer in front of me appeared to be impatient and borderline rude to the employee, the employee remained professional and polite - kudos to the staff working there in the evening shift on a Friday.“

“The food is literally sickeningly sweet: we shared half a specialty donut apiece, and we've both been sick for hours, groaning with stomach aches. HOW can they shove that much sugar in one donut? WHY?

The trick of this place is you gotta treat each specialty donut like a WHOLE CAKE. Then you'll be fine. WARNING: DO NOT EXCEED ONE SPECIALTY DONUT PER DAY. 🤮👈

The worst culprit was this brie cheese and wine. It was a cake filled with cream. We actually used it as a birthday cake (it cost as much as one, too, but that's another story🤫).

The only specialty donut that wasn't too much (still don't exceed recommended limits) was the cranberry. This was a masterpiece. It was a perfect mix of sweet and bright flavors for the sauce, though once again stuffed with cream.

Otherwise DO YOURSELF A FAVOR and skip on the tempting specialty donuts, and get something less saccharine.

The Dubai chocolate has a great pistachio filling, but the rest was overall far too rich.

The green tree Christmas tree green tea topping was ... green tea. As a frosting. Covering frosting. Maybe go for that other green tea non specialty donut.

It took us days to eat these all, and it will be a a few years (and having a child who can eat the food) before we can manage to drag ourselves back.

Next tine I have a serious donut craving and want some overly sweet American sweet, I'll just hike over to the regular donut shop: makes this sugar bomb look mild in comparison. Don't let the Asian flavors fool you: they could tone down the sugar 1000% (or use mochi dough, but that's also another story... when will Fremont finally get a mochi donut shop...).“

“The maple donuts, hamburgers and croissant sandwiches“

“first review of 2026!
stopped by to get some breakfast and their menu had a wide array of selections, prices are very reasonable, and the workers are super nice (including the owner I chatted with). the donuts and hotdog breakfast I got was delicious and was super fresh! Definitely will be back and reccomend.“

“Great coffee. Classic Dunkin’ Donuts. The service was awesome - very efficient server. In a strip mall that is run down so not the ideal location but it doesn’t impact the product - everything you’d want out of a Dunkin in any city. I used the Dunkin app which works well there so no waiting.“

“Three stars for service only because the two different ordering / checkout lines is so confusing and chaotic. The staff is always super helpful, friendly, and prompt.

We love the donuts and breakfast sandwiches from Roger’s and enjoy them sometimes multiple times per week.

Great local spot!“

“Wonderful employee, Gabe! I just wanna give a shoutout to Gabe for being such a marvelous employee. He was very helpful and very kind. When we asked about the donuts they had left he responded in such an enjoyable and kind way. His social skills are superb and that’s such an amazing skill to have. He easily broke the ice and that makes a great sales person. The drink that he made us was amazing and was made with a lot of care. And even though we came in a little late he was still so kind and joyful. He is such a good employee and it really heightened my experience at this establishment.“

“One of my favorite breakfast spots ❤️❤️❤️“
