Cruel Donuts Reviews
Fresh crullers on F, Sa, and Su. Get it, “Cruel Donuts”, crullers????
Anyway the crullers were great. I had a great chocolate frosted raised donut that was also just right. Most donuts, and donut shops are meh, for me.
Honestly one of the most unique, delicious fresh donuts I have tasted. Great customer service that always gets your order right! Highly recommend this place!

Cruel Donuts provides a delightful experience with a wide variety of donuts, including flavors like crème brûlée, guava, strawberry Nutella, ube cake, and plain glazed. The quality ingredients and balanced flavors create an enjoyable treat for customers. The staff is friendly and passionate, contributing to a warm atmosphere. Despite its slightly hidden location in a less-traveled strip mall away from El Camino, the delicious donuts and friendly service make Cruel Donuts a popular spot for visitors from San Carlos and Belmont. The donuts are soft, fluffy, and not overly sweet, with the Apple Frittata being fried to perfection. The menu also features gluten-free options like cookies and crème, which are safe for those with celiac disease. Prices range from $4 to $5 per donut, and the experience is well worth it, especially for those who love unique flavors like Vietnamese coffee ice cream. Visitors often come for the crullers or to enjoy the homemade ice cream, which is rich, sweet, and full of flavor. Overall, Cruel Donuts offers a special treat for donut lovers and ice cream enthusiasts alike.
