“This is the best donut store in the neighborhood - doubly good in that I don't have to worry about long lines like at Stan's donuts - this is my go to donut house! Prices are up - butter croissant is more like bread - so not light“

“I went in around the afternoon and was greeted by a very sweet lady. I’m pretty sure she was the owner of the shop. I decided to get the Kona Coffee Frappe and it was amazing, i think the coffee is her specialty :) she also gave my brother and i two tasty donuts. i recommend!“

“This review is for the Apple fritter I had today. It was quite possibly the freshest and fluffiest one I’ve ever had and I’ve had many! It wasn’t oily at all either :-) I’ll be back. Sadly I finished the donut before taking a photo.“

“This place had all the vibes of the perfect donut shop, from the delicious donuts to the lovely atmosphere. Stopped by on break to grab an apple fritter, which was excellent, and the jelly filled options are also excellent. The shop owners were kind and inviting, and I highly recommend everyone stop by to try out their selection. (note: they are cash only, but there is an ATM on site)

Parking: Parking in San Francisco is either super easy or impossible, depending on how lucky you are.

Wheelchair accessibility: Super accessible, at street level and the sidewalk has ramps just in front of the building.“

“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.“

“Best donut and breakfast sandwiches in the east bay hands down.

You have to get there early if you want the croissant sandwiches, if not the bagels are an excellent substitute. Donuts are on point, not greasy and or have a bad taste like most places.

Great smoothies! My boys love there strawberry banana and honey dew.

Family that owns this runs a clean restaurant with top notch customer service!“

“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!“

“Solid donut shop, their filled donut holes are always a hit at gatherings! They have several options, and we usually get a mixed box for taking into the office on occasion.

The donuts have always tasted fresh and not overly greasy.“

“I've been here a couple of times. The donuts always taste great and hit the spot. The owner is always kind and courteous and even throws in some extra donut holes for my kids. Id highly recommend you stop by if you're in the area.“

“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“

“Everytime we visit the Bay Area, we stop here for their AMAZING donuts—not sickly sweet, so tender, delicious. Their Maple Log donuts are the best-so hard to find these days. Support local—stop by. These donuts are made with dedication and passion of a baker.“

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

“This place has easily become a favorite! They have the best donuts in the bay and I've had loads of places. There's just something about their donuts that make you taste the freshness and softness of them. I go every week and sometimes a few times during.“

“Very polite hospitable, whether you like donuts or sandwiches you can have yours freshly made there just the way you like it, The donuts are fresh and And they don't have that greasy aftertaste, if you like lemongrass tea that's available, as well as coffee and there are refrigerated drinks as well.

Vegetarian options: For example when you having your sandwich made let him know exactly what you like on your sandwich and they'll be happy to do that. Real nice options tomatoes, avocados, lettuce, and some others to choose from.“

“Favorite local donut shop! The couple who runs it and their staff are so friendly and work so hard! The food and coffee are good, and it's always a quick stop for a bite and some caffeine on a busy morning (even if they're busy; they're lightning fast!).
ALSO, UPDATE: They have ube donuts now, and they are so good! If you haven't been there for a bit and enjoy the light, fruity flavor of ube desserts, definitely come by soon to try one before they're gone!“

“Best donut shop in Almaden valley area
Very tasty and fresh
Staff were super friendly and courteous
Coffee also was good with hazelnut flavor
Must try if you are in the area
They close at 2 pm. So go early!!“

“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.“

“Happy Donut has been a staple place for donuts in San Jose for a long time. My family and I have been going here for years, but it's been a while since I last visited and I was happy to find that the donuts are still delicious (and super fresh) as they always have been. They were also kind enough to throw in some extra donut holes. And you know it's a legit donut shop when it comes in a pink box! I've never had any issues with parking and am usually in and out cause that's just how fast they are.“

“If you're ever in San Jose and craving a fresh, early-morning treat, Rollo Donuts at 602 N 13th St, San Jose, CA is a must-visit! 🍩✨

They open as early as 4 AM, making it the perfect stop for early risers and commuters. We tried their apple fritters, glazed donuts, and chocolate-glazed donuts — and wow! Every bite was soft, airy, and had just the right amount of sweetness. Not overly sugary, just balanced and delicious.

They also serve croissant sandwiches, baked fresh daily — so it’s not just donuts here!

Located in the heart of San Jose, this cozy neighborhood spot gives off warm, welcoming vibes and seriously delivers on flavor.

📍 Fresh. Local. Worth the stop.“

“Hands down, some of the best donuts I've ever had. Extra crispy on the outside, soft and flavorful inside — and the fillings actually taste like what they're supposed to. Nothing overly sweet of artificial. You can tell they care about quality here.

Coffee's fine — just your standard cup. Totally drinkable, but with donuts this good, I kind of wish the coffee stood out more. Still, it's a solid stop for a quick breakfast or mid-morning pick-me-up.

I'll definitely be back — next time, probably grabbing a dozen to take to the office.“

“Yummy and fresh donut holes! Cake donut is nice and soft with vanilla icing and orange sprinkles. Breakfast sandwich made fresh and fast. Atmosphere is a little tight but great service. Love the decor. Parking can be challenging in the morning as expected. There was a line was out the door which always means donuts are good.“

“This is a classic donut shop run by a truly wonderful staff. They also make great breakfast hot sandwiches, bagels, cronuts, and have some more special donuts that I don't normally see. The staff are so friendly and welcoming, always happy to chat but most the time they have a lot of customers so I don't want to take up their time too much. I often see other customers order Vietnamese or Thai ice coffees, so I'm sure those are delicious as well. If you're hungry and in the area, or looking to get donuts, I highly recommend this place!“

“I absolutely love this donut shop. It is my favorite. The service is great and the donuts are not greasy!!! I hate it when you go into a shop and all you smell is OIL!!! Thank you for being in my neighborhood!!!

Parking: It is great and easy to find a place.“

“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!“

“Okay, this donut spot is insane. I got like 15 donuts for five dollars from Too Good To Go and honestly, what a steal. The donuts tasted really good. They were a bit stale at first, but I popped them in the oven for a few minutes and they came out perfect. Soft, warm, and totally delicious.
For the price, this deal is unbeatable. If you can get your hands on one of these Too Good To Go boxes, do it. Such a crazy good value and honestly, reheating them makes them taste just like fresh donuts. I will definitely be doing this again because fifteen donuts for five dollars? Yes please.“

“The donuts are very good for the price. Me and my dad go here once every week and we always get 4 donuts and 2 sandwiches. The donuts and sandwiches are very delicious 😋 they also have coffee and other drinks! They always toss in 4 munchkins for free which is great. I rate this place 4 out of 5 stars“

“I absolutely love this spot! I don’t live too close to the location but on my days off I always find myself here, I would much rather go here than a Noah’s bagel or some franchise breakfast spot. The food is great and always consistent they’re also NEVER stingy! The couple who runs the donut shop are friendly, they remember my boyfriend and I and always give us extra food (bonus points)!

For those of you reading, I do want to touch on the reviews that are lower rated. Those reviews are undeserved and irrelevant. I never experienced hatred or rudeness from the owners! I personally like to review places based on the food NOT the ambiance! At the end of the day whatever restaurant I find myself in, I’m there for the food!

Overall, love it here!!“

“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.“

“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❤️“

“Found another local gem! Love it, soft and not greasy like most chains stores. My colleague told me about it first, and I didn't believe there's another one other than Maple Leaf in Fremont. it is my new go to carb-cycle-day place.“

“Good doughnuts, decent coffee, excellent sandwiches, friendly efficient staff. Over the years, I'd seen their full wall sandwich menu but stuck with doughnuts...until recently...and their sandwiches are great... especially on their fresh croissants! Don't miss it!“

“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.“

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

“Todo estuvo muy rico mmm se los recomiendo 😋😋“

“Stopped by during a neighborhood walk because my nephew was craving donut holes. I saw that they had ube donuts and vanilla custard filled donut holes (my favorite) as well. We ordered 2 ube donuts, 4 custard filled donut holes, and a dozen glazed donut holes for only $9.40! Plus, to our delight, when we got home we realized that they threw in a couple extra donut holes so we got a total of 15! ?The ube donut had a nice slight crunch to the exterior and the inside was really moist and tasty. You could taste the ube!I put the custard donut hole in the microwave for 10 seconds and it was amazing, yum!Fresh, tasty donuts with great service and amazing prices!“

“Yummy donuts and so many options!“

“One of the last REAL donut spots left on the South Side. I made the mistake of going to Dunkin Donuts because it was on my way home this morning. It was expensive: two tiny and doughy donuts and two latte's were $18; believe me, I regret it now. I promise I will never make that mistake again. SAM's is the ONLY place to go for REAL donuts and it won't cost an arm and a leg. They know what an old-fashioned donut actually is. If you haven't given them a try check them out.“

“Best and only place on this side of the bay that offers cronuts, and cronuts holes. The best desserts this side of heaven! Plus they make specialty coffees, like Vietnamese coffee, lox bagel sandwiches, lots of options for breakfast and lunch. Instant favorite to all people I introduce to this place. I got everyone at work, family, and friends addicted to cronut holes!“

“So my visit was at around 1:30am in the morning so service was at minimum staff. The store was very clean and the donuts tasted great. There was a few customers there and each one of them was attended to and had they're orders filled promptly.“

“I was very charmed by this local donut spot. It is an older establishment (so a little run down which honestly just added to the whole experience for me) but very affordable and clean. Good donuts (very generous raspberry filling), tasty breakfast sandwich, hot diner coffee, the sweetest lady behind the counter, and regulars who were happy to see each other.“

“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!!“

“Came on 10.17.25. Amazing spot to get lunch and breakfast. I got a carne asada torta and some doughnuts holes amazing!!! So refreshingly good and feels amazing to eat here and how cozy the atmosphere is such a loving place of food made with care. Thanks you! Muchas gracias a los does senor y senora que trabajan muy bien y nos encanto la comida preparada muy rapido y muy sabroso!!“

“The management changed and so did the menu. The breakfast sandwiches are now either bagel or croissant based. My wife and I got one each and they were pretty good. It hit the spot as we’ve been out of the country for around 3 weeks. They also now have cronut holes. They’re pretty good, but still prefer their regular donut holes.“

“Best shop in town. Soft and yummy whole family love the donuts from this shop.“

“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.“
