28 Best Donuts near Walnut Creek

“Finally was able tk come to this cute little place. Their donuts were DELICIOUS! Light and Fluffy which is exactly how I like it. Also got an apple fritter and ham and cheese croissant.
The people were extremely nice and the cost for quality was the perfect value. Plenty of seating if you want to relax for a bit.“

“Very friendly local vegan spot. Excellent food and service. Highly recommend! 😋“

“Good Sunday morning place“

“I love this place. I have always seen one new truck every week. The variety is amazing. The place is always clean and kept as a safe environment for kids. An excellent spot for a first date or a family outing! Oh yah the customer service...I saw a lady drop her kids food...it was replaced within 5 mins from the manager. Little things like that keep me coming back :)“

“I can’t even express how great this place is! The customer service was top tier, it was beautiful in there from the front door to the restroom, clean, great music, fun, I could go on for hours! We drive from Vacaville to this location and so glad we need and will do it again! The drinks DELICIOUS!“

“OMG!!! Time stopped as I bit into a donut savant cronut for the very first time. I live in N. Sacramento but I am fantasizing about the next trip to #oakland. You people are truly doing god’s work here. Carry on😋😘🙏🏿❤️“

“I go weekly and they've changed their frosting. King's had the best donuts for the longest time, but a couple of months ago they changed their frosting, and it's a bad change. It's sweeter, and not as flavorful. Tastes less like chocolate and more like sugar. My kids don't care, and the donut batter and cook is still good, but it's a worse donut than it was a year ago.“

“I'm so glad I finally tried Johnny's Donuts, which is now my new favorite donut shop in Contra Costa County! I went in around 10am on a Thursday with two people ahead of me in line. There was a good selection of donuts with everything I was hoping for, plus a surprise of seeing they had Ube donuts (5/5)! I LOVE Ube so I had to get one.

All the donuts were fresh. I also bought a chocolate glazed (5/5), vegan chocolate sprinkles (5/5), and gave my parter a maple bar, which he enjoyed. The owner was so nice and even gave me three free donut holes with my order.

I needed to make the $10 minimum to use my credit card so I also got a Vietnamese coffee (4/5), which was strong and tasty. I sat at one of their booths to enjoy my coffee and Ube donut, and enjoyed the old school, nostalgic atmosphere. I look forward to coming back to try more of their donuts!“

“This hole in the wall donut shop has the best apple fritters in the world according to my lady. I think their other donuts are great too. Make sure to bring cash and to lock your car. It is right off of the freeway. Getting back on the freeway can be confusing, but it isn't far.“

“We often get items from this shop. It’s close to where we live . All their products are 👍 😍“

“Visited many times and always right when they open. I even entered one time without realizing it, 15 minutes before they officially opened. My order was taken without question and the food was hot, fresh and great! Always a good consistent product with friendly and helpful service.“

“We have been buying their donuts, ham and cheese and mochas for 29 years. They are the best around. Superior to anyone else in the area, and we have tried them all. Plus their staff is the best. We've done both dine in and take out. We love to sit and eat whatever we buy either inside or outside. Both places are pleasant. Just depends on our mood at the time.
We highly recommend this establishment. The people and the food and drinks are the best.“

“Best local doughnut spot in concord. The doughnut holes are perfect little bites to go with a cup of coffee. They have a pretty good selection of other doughnuts as well. The staff was friendly and service was prompt. I will definitely ve coming back to get more tasty doughnuts“

“This review is for a DoorDash order. I didn't know I was ordering close to their closing time and so various donuts I ordered were out. They called me to offer alternative options. The owner even glazed some with strawberry for me even though they were out. and when the order arrived I even got some bonus donut holes! Excellent service. Happy donut lover“

“Nice people working there and nice new owner. Only issue is they don’t always warm up your food, that’s alright tho. Glad they accept card now. I feel like they should add more desserts like different donuts or stuff like that you know more variety.“

“Best doughnuts and breakfast sandwiches! Great tasting strong old school breakfast diner coffee! Owners are very nice people! Great Customer Service! Came in late one morning and didn't have anymore sprinkle doughnuts for my daughter and they went out of their way to make one for her! Won't forget that ! Thank you! And all that is why I keep coming back...“

“We love this quality doughnuts the owner and the stuff is really nice and friendly my daughter loves it. Also great price.

Kid-friendliness: They gave my daughter extra doughnuts as a regular costumer! Goodjob they know to work around kids“

“My son wanted a cheese danish, and theirs was double-sized. Because it was big, when the server retrieved it, the thing broke. She ended up giving us a perfect one, and then included the broken one for free- a nice surprise! So we enjoyed 2 for the price of 1. Great food, great service!“

“The Dainty Donut Factory was at our Outdoor Summer Series this past weekend and the donuts were fantastic! There was a line to buy donuts before they were open. The community loved them and we appreciate that they were here for us! I would absolutely recommend them and will ask them to return in the future!“

“Best donut shop around! We love Christy’s Donuts. They are always nice and have the best donuts. We tried another shop one time when they were closed and it Christy’s is hands down better. My family and I go here every weekend. Cash only but they have an ATM machine if you need it.

Parking: Plenty of parking available

Kid-friendliness: They are super friendly with the kids and let them pick out their own donuts (we have two little ones and they are very patient with them).“

“TL;DR Great donuts, custord filing was very generous. A standard donut shop atmosphere, friendly and quick service. HIGHLY recommended to give it a try.

Full Review
The donut shop is located in the back and invisible from the street, if it wasn't for Google Maps I don't think I'd seen it.
Let's get down to the important part the donuts. I got a plan glaze and a chocolate custard filled donut.
Glaze donut was very soft and not sticky. I loved how large it was with great taste that wasn't a massive sugar rush
The chocolate custard filled donut was also fluffy and perfectly frosted I have to say the donut felt very generously filled, to the point that I was surprised.
The place has a very quiet feel to it. It's in an older building so it has that colder feel to it that established donut shops tend to have.
The staff is friendly.“

“atmosphere with quality coffee and community centered owner. great for study space with lots of natural light“

“They have the best chocolate frosted old fashioned donuts in the area. I'm very picky about my donuts, and these surpass the mark for my enjoyment. A lot of people rave about the other items they serve. I tried the bagelwich and was unimpressed with the bagel, especially for the price, it was like thin bread and I thought I probably should have gone with a croissant like the cashier suggested. I'll keep going back for the donuts and try other items if I'm hungry when I'm there but I wouldn't recommend the bagels.“

“This is the place to go for all your donut, coffee, and breakfast sandwich needs! Mr. & Mrs. Charlie and the their baker in the back are gold, plus the staff! I ❤️ this place so much! Everything is amazing! If you haven't tried their old-fashioned glaze or bacon,egg and cheese croissant sandwich, you gotta! They're addicting. I have to get donuts ???? every Friday for the office ????????????????????????“

“Crack Bread is frigging Awesome Buy in Bulk“

“I went in here yesterday! The staff was happy and so polite! My son has special needs and it takes him a while to order! They were so patient and were all smiles! Spoke to him with such kindness. And we loved the donuts! He ordered a dozen!“

“You know a place is amazing when it’s packed! I ordered a Supreme Pineapple Green Tea with stir fried boba and chizu (cheese) cream and half a dozen mochi donuts: funnel cake, black sesame, churro, strawberry shortcake, taro, and Captain Crunch. Tea was amazing (though I will go without the chizu cream) and next time I bring donuts to work I’m bringing in mochi dough❤️“

“The crew at my local DD are amazing . So friendly, helpful & competent. It’s a great part of my day“
