Very good donuts! Old fashion had the right texture for me. I like that it’s not too sweet too. Recommend this.

Good quality donuts. Fresh. Great selection.(sorry no pics of inside) I was so impressed with the selection! Old fashioned chocolate is my favorite. I was hungry so I also ordered a ham and cheese croissant! Very good, made to order hot and crispy!! If youre in the area and want a donut happy donuts will make you happy!

The donuts, fritters, etc. are pretty big in this shop. They’re moderately priced; and, you might get a few donut holes thrown in the bag

Wanted to love it because it’s a Happy Donuts, however I can only give this location 3 stars at best. The batter part of the donut was a dark brownish/gold color like it’d been fried in old oil for too long (think saturating grease thru the paper bag immediately) and left a film in my mouth.Employee wasn’t friendly and then tried to up sell me to buy a beverage or add more donuts to my order. Wouldn’t recommend.

Love it when the sweet lady says And then after your first pick donut. Then I say, let me get an old fashion chocolate donut. Sweet lady says And then LOL! it reminds me of the movie Dude, wheres my car? 😆

I am happy they did not close. They still had my favorite donut and the sales person got me more. I will go back for more each week before the covid 19. It is worth it to ride my bike 17 miles each way.

Not much on aesthetics (the building that is), but wonderful people and service and very tasty happy donuts. I especially like that the very nice lady working the counter had her degree in donuts (Donut Philosophy, Ph.D., of course). They really know donuts 😋

Best donuts in the bay area. Good community helper offering opportunity for the needy to earn a good breakfast without having to loiter or solicit customers. Compassionate and kind owner.

Dont order sandwiches here. They are over priced, small and very salty. My sandwich cost more than a straight deli breakfast sandwich for half the size. Stick to donuts please.

Great Donuts and very friendly people. The thing I love most about this place is that they donate doughnuts to the local Senior Center and homeless shelter every day. I dont know how they can afford to do it, but they do.

Amazing how much love can be found in such simple ingredients. Fresh donuts, coffee, and sandwiches.

Review №27

The worst customer service. I come in for a cup of coffee and sit down to enjoy it before my day starts. Most others are coming and getting what they want and leave. After I sit down I get not so good looks from the person behind the counter. Then the old lady comes from behind the counter and opens one of two doors, the one Im sitting right next to, to let the freezing cold air in to try and get me to leave. After Im done with my first cup of coffee, which tastes watered down, I get up to get a refill and the old lady is quick to come from the back to charge me $2.00, I wasnt sure if I heard her correct, I asked her to repeat, because she could sense I was a little upset she was generous enough to lower the refill price to $1.00 for the refill. I have never been to a donut shop that charges for a coffee refill. I will never be back. If I feel like stopping for coffee in the morning again Im taking my business and money down the St to rainbow donuts. Maybe ill have better luck.
