46 Best Donuts in San Jose

“This particular branch is located inside Mitsuwa; to the left when you walk in...past Hokkaido Ramen Santouka. They do a great job with the Mochi Donuts here. The Mochi Cupcakes are also very good. While this isn't a standalone venue, the menu here seems to be expanding frequently. In addition to their standard Mochi Donuts they keep adding new items. Not that I'm complaining...just an observation. Actually I'm ecstatic! I haven't seen some of these creative new items before. #Sugar ~ Matcha Mochisada - 5/5 These were amazing. Not too sweet or bitter, perfectly balanced Matcha cream on the inside. ~ Mochi Cupcake Black Sesame - 4/5 Excellent flavor. Not too sweet or bitter and the texture is spot on; delightfully chewy without being too dry. I prefer the Cupcakes over the donuts, better texture for me. ~ Matcha BRIOCHE - 4/5 Another brilliant creation. Mochi Brioche with Matcha cream filling. Delish! Can't wait to see what else they're going to come up with.“

“My new go to donut shop! I called a day in advance to order three dozen donuts for my students. When I arrived, the order was ready for me and the owners were kind and efficient. My kids loved the donuts and asked for more! The donut that I tried, was very tasty, it was the blueberry doughnut, I believe- highly recommend. Also, they do, except card!“

“The Donut Basket is seriously the best! Love this place!“

“Love ordering from them & visiting the cute store. Such a warm, friendly and homy environment. My daughter lives for their donuts ? and they are always kind and cautious when handling her nut allergy ??❤️

Kid-friendliness: Sat and ate breakfast with my daughter had her stroller bike next to us and she chattered happily to me all morning... all the patrons and staff were lovely to us.“

“I've been going to Daybreak Donuts for...maybe 15 years now. I was a high school freshmen that would get cheap snacks after school and now I stop by whenever I can and it's the same smiling faces, 15 years later. Not just a great donut shop but honestly, a neighborhood staple.“

“Was looking for cronut holes. Called around and this is the only place that answered and had them!

They were a hit. Dangerous though. It’s too easy to walk buy the box 20 times and take one little cronut or donut hole. I probably ate a dozen myself.

Service was very nice and she was patient while I was trying to figure out what I wanted.“

“Came here for the filled doughnut holes and they did not disappoint! They are very similar to Vietnamese style cream puffs except they are glazed. Love how it’s not overwhelmingly sweet. I would die if they made a durian version of the custard.“

“I recently visited a donut shop during lunch, and it was fantastic! The donuts were incredibly delicious, with a perfect balance of sweetness and texture.

“Yeah, these donuts are HEAVENLY. Can easily horde down 5 for cheap and still feel like I ate nothing. Amazing donuts, SUPER friendly staff, and overall a Great stop. Go at 8am or earlier for WARM and FRESH donuts. Typically they run out of donuts around 1/2, before their closing time“

“Vegan Donut Gelato is PHENOMENAL! My wife and I loved our brief stop this week. The donuts are massive and well worth the price. Friendly service and the woman who served us was great. Highly recommended!“

Whether you're craving a traditional favorite or an adventurous new creation, this place has you covered. It's a beloved local gem that continues to win over hearts, one delicious donut at a time.“

“I go here for to get donuts every Wednesday for me or sometimes 1 or 2 for my friends. The donuts are amazing and for a great price as well. The Customer Service is phenomenal there is this very nice and sweet young lady who serves me all the time with a smile and a great attitude. Truly a great place to get donuts from.“

“It is surprisingly hard to find a place that can do great donuts, bagels, and breakfast sandwiches, but man they knock it out of the park every single time. This is the family's go-to spot for quick breakfast foods and there's still plenty on the menu I still want to try.“

“BEST SHOP IN THE CITY!❤️I just want to say thank you to this shop. My family lived by this shop for years. I grew up going to this shop. I can still remember all those years ago having my grandmother, mother, and myself go there and get donuts every morning. I am so very happy to see it’s still thriving there. You guys added quite a bit of sweetness to my childhood. Thank you ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Kid-friendliness: I remember the kindness shown to me almost 20 years later❤️“

“Best in the west no gimmicks just fresh delious donuts friendly service.“

“Nice, local, family owned donut shop. They have all the "standard" donuts one would find - old fashioned, bear claws, french twists, cakes, etc. Friendly staff and reasonably priced. Always nice to take a morning walk and swing by for some tasty donuts.“

“All Manley’s aren’t created equal and this one is tops IMO. I’m a donut lover and this place makes a soft pillowy raised donut. Sugar is my favorite accompanied by the chocolate glazed old fashioned. The make breakfast sando’s, serve hot coffee and have a fridge filled with breakfast beverages (7-11 in the same shopping center). Private parking off of Camden Ave and Doordash is available.“

“Great food and even better service! I went to Sam's donuts and got an outstanding breakfast sandwich and some donuts. The sandwich was everything I could have asked for and the donuts were delicious! To top it all off, the people are sweeter than the donuts!“

“It used to be the old Maple Leaf Donut shop. It is now up graded and nice.
The only problem is the drinks "No Refill".
There is a charge for your refill, which is a bummer. Donuts are good but I want a refill on my coffee.“

“Just got a dozen of doughnuts for my daughter’s “last day of internship” event. Ladies in bascom donuts are j credibly nice, and donuts are incredibly fresh. Highly recommend, in the current day an age combination of price / quality was unmatched!“

“I had given them good reviews before but I have gone there several times to buy my breakfast before work and they took a while. But the last straw was today when I arrived and I was waiting 30 minutes for a crossaint and they attended and sent out the orders of people who arrived after me and mine alone did not come out.“

“Perfect place to get your breakfast, lunch and dinner when you're in the go from a variety of delicious made-to-order sandwiches on bagel or croissant. Smoothie, juice, coffee and refrigerated drinks. Fast, convenient, so tasty! Lots of parking in front.“

“Glad this place is open again! Place was clean, food looked good, and service was fast!
The lady I spoke to was very nice! She added in some ‘special’ donuts when she learned I was getting them for a kids’ basketball team! We’ll be back :)“

“My husband and I kept passing by and seeing the Donut sign, we finally stopped by and I'm glad we did. Excellent choice of sandwiches ? and the donuts were soft still. We will definitely be back. Oh and it is family owned! Great for our neighborhood!?“

“I am not a donut person but I'm a sucker for old fashioned plain donuts and they did not disappoint! Went in this morning to get some donuts for work and got myself one, it hit all the spots for what I look for in an old fashioned plain donut. I would definitely come back, and the customer service was great! I think if they can make a simple donut that good all the sugary ones must be delicious (for those that like glazed, sugared etc).“

“Went 03.26.24 12:15pm. The 1 donut I got here (to test) was delicious, it was the apple pie filling filled glazed donut $1.79. Really light, moist, not cloyingly sweet, not oily, very fresh. Service was.... lady who served was nice but took her time to wait on me and 1 other person in line (the only people in at the time), she was too busy "cleaning" or pretending to clean, lol. Maybe they just abhor their jobs? LOL! But she was nice and friendly when she eventually decided to wait on customers.“

“The bagel sandwiches are nothing like the other bagel shops. This is my first experience and I will be back. The art of how she made this bagel sandwich along with the combination of layers that were sliced in such a way that each bite was perfection. I got the asiago bagel with turkey avocado. Super scrumptious and a must try.“

“Best in the west no gimmicks just fresh delious donuts friendly service.“

“Friendly staff! Loved the service! She was so sweet!

Delicious turkey sandwich! The pickled jalapeños were such a nice touch! I got the #38 but instead of pastrami, I asked for turkey instead. Very filling! Affordable price! Croissant was nice and flaky and crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.

Sandwich: $9.99
Medium Coffee: $2.99
Total: $12.98

I wish I had cash to tip! They don’t accept tip via card.“

“Buena atención al cliente excelente servicio“

“PRE-ORDERS ARE NEVER HONORED WITH THIS CHAIN!!!! Ordered yesterday for pick up tonight and not even an hour before pick up, I get a call saying they're all out of all of the ones for my order. Then proceeded to say that they honor walk in orders over prepaid orders...wtf?! This was going to be a surprise for my child in the morning. WAY TO GO KRISPY KREME! So just fyi.... they're delivery option sucks and their order system is fricken horrible. They don't honor orders...at all! Ya just lost a long time customer. Never supporting this chain again. O'Henry's is better!“

“Great pastry, customer service is also great.“

“Rose Café & Donuts has been a staple location for their breakfast burritos for myself and many people I know. There just aren't many other places that can compare to how good they make them here! Add in the bonus of some doughnuts as well and it's a whole experience! I highly recommend giving them a try.

Parking: There are an assortment of spots out front that can sometimes fill up, as well as some spaces that go along the alley by the Wendy's that is rarely filled up.“

“My friend spoils me with yummy treats from the Baking Corner! The deserts are incredible! I haven’t tried a single thing that I haven’t loved!“

“A suitable place to gather with friends, the restaurant is very clean, the food is ok, the price is a bit higher than usual. Extremely delicious drinks, especially yogurt. beautiful decoration. Lots of parking but a bit narrow

Parking: Lots of parking but a bit narrow“

“My favorite local donut shop. They tend to be busy but they get people in and out very quickly. They have a variety of fresh yummy donuts and usually thrown in an extra when you purchase a dozen. My favs are the glaze, chocolate and cinnamon twists - love the classics. Their breakfast croissant sandwiches are really good too. I like the #1 with jalapenos. Can't go wrong here!“

“Mochicream has a stand in Plano, TX at one point and decided to close shop. It was a very sad day to see it go. They had the best mochi ever! Their mochi is flown over from Japan and arrives frozen. Once you thaw it, you get this very soft, delicate texture that's rich and creamy. The most popular one is double mango. It's sold out on the weekends so it's best to order a lot if you are a fan of mango. Other flavor that are a hit, cafe au lait, black sesame, blueberry and azuki. Don't let the price deter you from trying the most amazing mochi.“

“Wow, some of the best donuts I've ever tested. Stop in late afternoon. Selection was good and they were all ridiculously fresh. I will definitely visit again next time I'm in the area. Yum Yum Indeed! (4 stars on atmosphere just because it's a donut counter, how much atmosphere can it have?). Great service too!

Parking: In a shopping plaza. Good parking, easily accessbile.“

“These are addicting. They are so yummy lighter than the traditional doughnut and not greasy. They come in different flavors so you get a different treat every week. They are a must try. It’s hard to eat just one. This is a family run business and you can see how passionate they are keeping their customers satisfied. Thank you for Mochinut. We’ll keep coming back.“

“Best donuts in South San Jose!“

“This is one of the nicest Dunkins that I've been to. Pleasant, nice layout with lots of seating if there's a wait. The staff are friendly and efficient especially the manager Astrid who provides exceptional customer service on special orders. One of my top go to places.“

“Listen. Customer service is dead. The young woman at the front with long nails was SO polite and helpful. This poor woman made my wife a hot chocolate in AUGUST when it wasn’t even on the menu and didn’t bat an eye. I genuinely can’t believe how polite and helpful she was. Thank you so much.

Edit; forgot to mention there was mobile orders out the wazoo and her co worker was working like a marathon runner. Absolute power duo in there. Thank you ladies.“
