29 Best Donuts near Palo Alto

“Picture this. It’s 9:15pm. You are craving a maple Boston cream, so you go to Happy Donuts. In the display window, Boston creams are still there, but none are maple. You ask the staff if there are any left and they tell you “no”. Out of the blue, one of the employees grabs a regular maple bar around and fills it with cream RIGHT THEN AND THERE. Absolutely fantastic“

“A really good find in the city that is open till late night and the food here is also pretty amazing. It has also a bunch of good deserts along with the delicious food that they have. You probably wouldn’t come here for the ambience, but you’ll definitely come back here for the food and it’s totally worth the price.“

“Wow!!! This is a Legit 5 Star Breakfast Sandwich and Donut Shop in the heart of Fremont.

I love their breakfast sandwich in a croissant or even on a bagel.We ordered the famous hotlink sausage,everything sandwich and it is all great.

The highlight of their breakfast sandwich is that you can customize your egg whether sunny side up or scrambled egg unlike the other typical store that only offers super soft,soggy and or microwaved scrambled egg and that for me is a no no. Here you will enjoy your sandwich with all freshly cooked ingredients.

Their bread like croissant,bagels and donuts are made and freshly baked everyday.As you walked inside the store, you will mesmerized with all the freshly baked goodies that you can't resist.

Coffee is just a plain brewed coffee and nothing fancy but it is real coffee anyways.

The staff/owner is so friendly and accomodating,He is so patient with my questions since it is my first time there.

I will definitely come back and try their other deliciois baked goodies for sure.
You may pay them thru cash,venmo or zelle as well so that is so convenient for customers.“

“Good variety and always fresh. Try the ube donut or the red velvet donut. They have donut holes, filled donut holes, and cronut holes! Open late. No line and they take card iykyk. A few tables are available to eat a piece of donut before you leave.“

“Francis Donuts is one of those great local family-run donut shops that makes you happy you stopped in.

I came by again after bringing their donuts to an event, and people were seriously loving them. The donut holes were so good I almost didn’t make it to the event with the full box. Everything tasted fresh, soft, and delicious.

I also really enjoyed chatting with the family behind the counter. The shop is run by Tony’s family, and you can feel that small-business pride when you walk in. They were super friendly and shared a little about their hours, the summer slowdown with school being out, and how they keep things going as a family business.

Their usual hours are early, around 5 AM to 1 PM on weekdays and 6 AM to 1 PM on weekends, but like a lot of small shops, closing time can depend on the day and how much they sell.

Great donuts, kind people, and a true local neighborhood spot. Definitely worth supporting.“

“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!“

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

“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!“

“Todos esta delicioso , hay café y breakfast sándwich“

“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.“

“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.“

“I read the rave reviews for Happy Donuts with a bit of skepticism. But this place is as good as described. There are so many donut shops named Happy Donuts that I expected it to be the same as every other donut shop. But the quality is a step or two above the norm.“

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

“Yummy donuts and so many options!“

“OMG! Although this is the first time having Mochi Dough, I have to say THE BEST. Forget doughnuts 🍩 this is the so much better. They cost way more than your traditional doughnut, but let me say well worth it. Go here, that's mandatory!“

“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.“

“Just finished eating an egg, cheese, bacon croissant sandwich...earlier had a chocolate glazed donut with large Chai latte..the donut was fresh-i could tell immediately upon the first bite. 2 weeks ago, I indulged in Krispy Kreme donut...weird cause I see Krispy Kreme ee's making donuts but the donut did not taste fresh...a hidden gem of a place..next time I intentionally decide to indulge in a donut, this will be my to go place...from perusing other reviews, u might not find the hot drinks to ur liking but the donuts, pastries and sandwiches are divine..plus there's a variety of refrigerated cold drinks available:)...did not give 5 stars simple to encourage growth and creativity to abound:)“

“I didn't buy anything but the man at the register was killing it with customer service especially with the pokemon drop he took the time to explain everything for the cups for Pokemon they are sold out unfortunately and that goes for the next week as well but that's okay the fact that he even took the time to even explain it was phenomenal no attitude completely professional and kind.“

“I always end up eating great savory donuts here, best place in the bay area in my opinion!

There can be a wait, and double check the hours before going. The store closes during the holidays usually.

If you want the kimchi spam donut, go early, they tend to run out by the afternoon“

“Very nice local spot for a catch all of deli breakfast and lunch. Standard donut and bagel options for breakfast but the best bang for your buck is a breakfast plate. The potatoes that come with are delicious and the eggs are always cooked perfectly. Not the best bagel I've ever had but it's serviceable for California but I would definitely recommend swapping out the egg patty that comes on a standard breakfast sandwich for a fried egg. Their lunch sandwiches always hit the spot and the food comes out super quick. Love the new space too. The ordering order of operations is a little confusing at first but very easy after you get the hang of it. Just don't forget to take your receipt to the cashier to pay!“

“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.“

“The maple donuts, hamburgers and croissant sandwiches“

“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 ❤️❤️❤️“
