    Baskin Donuts has been a part of my life since before I was born--literally. I grew up coming here before school across every grade, and now as an adult, I've watched the next generation step in to carry on the family legacy. The donuts are always fresh, the prices are unbelievably fair, and the quality has never wavered. It's the kind of shop that honors its regulars and stays true to what a real donut shop should be. This place is home--and I'll keep coming back for as long as the doors are open.

    I used to stop here several times a week when I worked nearby, mainly for their amazing banana muffins and breakfast sandwiches. Years later, I stopped in again and the quality is still just as good. The owners are incredibly kind and hard-working, and it's wonderful to see a local spot stay so consistent over the years. Highly recommend!

    Box of goodies!

    I was in the area and picked up some donuts for the office. Assorted dozen donuts - standard flavors (glazed, chocolate glazed, sugar, glazed old fashion, plain old fashion, & Blueberry cake). She was nice and friendly and threw in some extra donut holes and a couple of extra donuts. So sweet of her!

    You can even order a custom donut

    Ronnie's Morning Get Together has been getting donuts for the last 16 yrs for our morning get together of cars . Everyone wipes out the donuts each month . We get anywhere from 12 to 16 dozen each month. I show up every month at 5:30am and my donuts are always hot , boxed and ready to hit the road . I wish I could give these guys a 10 start rating but it only goes to 5 . The Apple Fritter is my favorite . You can even order a custom donut

    These donuts are great because they don't leave a weird after taste (like Krispy Kreme) after eating them. The lady gave us so many extras today she didn't have to. The place is old; sign missing letters, you can smell the cleaning products... but it's big in authenticity and sincerity.

    Came here for the first time this week. Pleasantly surprised how good the croissant sandwich was. Also enjoyed the coffee and donuts. Low frills, affordable, and nice owner.

    I love supporting this donut shop -- been coming here for years and it's always been the same. Today I came and ordered about 7 things but was given 5 extra items. Yay! I paid $17 for a full box of donuts, croissants, and fritters. Maybe it was because I walked in later in the day on a Tuesday and they still had inventory, or maybe it was because it's family-owned and they take delight in serving the community. Either way, they have all kinds of donuts and I'm never disappointed! The aesthetic makes you feel like you walked into a frozen point of time. In an area that is constantly changing and being renovated, I honestly love the nostalgia. Support small, Asian-owned businesses in your neighborhood. You might get some extra treats for doing so! ;)

    I popped in to pick up some donuts for a meeting. It was 12:30 pm and I didn't expect there to be much inventory. I was wrong, there were plenty of delicious donuts to choose from. I picked up a dozen and a half and scored my favorite which is the buttermilk donut. So delicious. Parking is easy and they have an area to sit and enjoy your donuts if you want to hang out.

    Rox R.

    Friendly service. I've been coming here since my kid was born. The ham and cheese is baked in the croissant.. rare find. Super soft inside and naked just right. The croissant is just flaky enough and bigger than my fist. Twice the size actually. These sell fast.

    Bascom Donuts is the type of shop that brings back nostalgic memories. If you grew up pre-2000s then I'm sure you'll remember your parents bringing you to donut shops like this. There's no fancy modern design here. It's just a display of old fashion donuts, coffee dripping in a pot and a row of tan tables. Sometimes just the basic and straight forward approach is all you need to satisfy your needs. Don't let the appearance of the shop fool you because this donut shop have a huge spread. It took me a few minutes to decide what I wanted because there were so many choices. I ended up with an old fashion and a glaze donut with nuts on top. Both tasted fresh and delicious. Also the ladies behind the counter were friendly. I'm so glad this neighborhood gem is still around.

They are incredibly fluffy with a nice chew like mochi donut but much softer. They are not too sweet, no milk needed. I finished all 3 in a matter of minutes. I could easily throw down a few more. I don't normally eat glazed donuts but when I come back, I'm getting a few more. Wanted custard but at noon there were none. I live on the East Side of San Jose so not sure when I'll be back. I went to T&T Supermarket, that's why I made this trip. Until we meet again, I'll be dreaming about these donuts for awhile.

I'd read in the Yelp reviews that a line forms out the door in the morning, but I thought that was only on the weekends. Nope. I got there on a Thursday morning right as they opened at 6am and there was already a line. It took about 15 min. to get to the counter to place my order. Stan's makes the donuts right there in the front of the shop, so they are completely fresh. I ordered one chocolate French cruller and one chocolate crème-filled glaze. The cruller was wonderful. Airy and soft with delicious chocolate on top. Should have ordered two of those. The chocolate crème-filled was not as good. It was too crispy on the outside and had too much warm crème inside. I might have liked it better if I hadn't first eaten the perfect cruller. Stan's only takes cash, but they have an ATM machine in the shop. There is a large shared parking lot. Phone orders must be placed 24 hours in advance. I'll be back for more crullers and to try an apple fritter, which are only served on Mondays.

There's no seating area inside the bakery, but there are some tables outside next to a water fountain. Of the times that I've been there, it's mostly empty and clean, and the trash bins are not overflowing. The donuts are absolutely delicious. The brioche donut is soft but holds the fillings in well. There's also a bit of crunch from the sugar on the outside of the donut. There's an ample amount of filling, so you get to taste the flavors. So far, my favorites are Irish cream, lemon blueberry, and banana cream. It is a bit messy to eat, so have napkins and a small plate to catch any sugar or filling that may fall out when you bite into it. We had their chocolate chip cookie. It looked like a big mound of baked dough. Overall, it was okay. I would easily skip this for the donuts instead. I haven't tried their coffees, but my daughter loves the hot chocolate, and I have been enjoying their calamansi juice. It's nice and tart, not too sweet. I have seen some savory options but have not tried them. I will be back to explore the menu.

There was a good amount of premade custard filled donut holes on display. Despite them being prefilled and on display, the donut holes were still crispy and not soggy! I was delighted from the first bite. The prefilled donut holes are different from the regular ones. They are glazed and more similar to a cream puff which makes them super tasty. I love the irregular shapes of each of them and how big they were. The cream puff texture is what makes this custard filled donut holes not feel heavy when you eat them. Very yummy and addicting. The service was okay. I was greeted by both ladies at the counter and the worker who had assisted me seemed very attentive. I got a dozen cream filled donut holes which were 8.99. I would say thats pretty expensive but for about .75 cents per donut hole, i'd say it's worth it. The ambiance was okay but for a donut shop I wouldn't really say that matters.

    I don't know why it's taken me so long to review this place, but three words: BURNT ALMOND CAKE…read more This family-owned bakery has been around for a long time and is considered the oldest family-run bakery in Silicon Valley. They're best known for their famous Burnt Almond Cake, though they also offer a variety of other pastries. Personally, I come here just for the cake. They sell it by the slice or cupcakes, and they also have whole cakes ready to go. If you're looking for a custom cake, though, be sure to place your order in advance. Whenever I'm in the area, I always stop by to pick up a few cakes to bring home for my family, but I can probably eat a whole cake to myself lol. Their prices are still surprisingly reasonable, which makes it even more worth the trip.

We ended up getting three burnt almond cake slices (2 vanilla 1 chocolate) and some brownies. The brownies were pretty good, balanced sweetness and chocolate flavor without being overwhelmingly sweet and I enjoyed the walnuts, but it was a very fudge like texture and I prefer my brownies to be slightly more cake-y and airy. If you like fudge brownies you'd like these. My issue was the burnt almond cake, both vanilla slices were on the dry side. The chocolate slice had a hint of chocolate otherwise tasted exactly the same. The almonds and cream were fine, I would've preferred stronger almond flavor. Was meh. Price is good at $5 for a hefty slice. If I'm in the area maybe I'd go back, otherwise it was about the same as a Safeway cake slice.

Customers usually come in, grab what they need, pay, and head out, which keeps things moving smoothly. One of the best things about this bakery is the incredible variety of pastries and breads. Whether you're craving something sweet or savory, there's plenty to choose from: melon pan, loaf bread, dinner rolls, chow mein bread, spaghetti bread, sweet potato bread, crab and roe bread, tomato bread, apple pie, and so much more. Don't skip the refrigerated section either! They carry fruit sandwiches, tuna sandwiches, fried bread, donuts, somen noodles in a cup, and other delicious grab-and-go items. They also offer rice balls and drinks that can be ordered at the register. If you're in the area, definitely stop by and give them a try. Small businesses like this deserve our support!

    Clover Bakery & Cafe is a small Japanese-style bakery and café that feels like the kind of…read moreneighborhood spot you randomly discover and keep coming back to. We walked into a cozy, compact space with shelves filled with freshly baked breads, pastries, and prepared foods, all arranged in a way that makes you want to browse slowly even though the shop is small. The atmosphere has that simple, welcoming feel reminiscent of the small bakeries you find throughout Japan, focusing more on quality and variety than on a large café setup. Seating is limited, so it is better suited for grabbing something to go rather than spending a long time inside. The biggest draw here is the combination of Japanese baked goods and savory items. The bakery selection offers a great mix of sweet and savory options, with classics like melon pan standing out for its crisp sugary topping and soft interior that stays light without being dry. The curry bread and croquette bread are also popular choices, both feeling comforting and freshly made rather than overly sweet or greasy. The bakery items are reasonably priced, which makes it easy to pick up multiple things without feeling like you are spending too much, and the variety means there is always something new to try. The onigiri selection is what really makes Clover stand out compared to a typical bakery. They offer a variety of rice balls with fillings like spicy tuna, tuna mayo, and unagi, making it a great option for a quick breakfast or light meal. The rice is well balanced and the fillings give each onigiri a different personality. The spicy tuna has a nice kick that comes through without overpowering the rice, while the unagi adds a sweeter, more savory flavor that works especially well with the slightly salty rice. The onigiri are a practical, satisfying choice for anyone looking for something more substantial than a pastry. Beyond the baked goods and onigiri, Clover also has drinks, sandwiches, and desserts including cakes and other pastries. The strawberry cake is a nice lighter dessert option, and the overall menu gives plenty of reasons to visit whether you are looking for breakfast, a snack, or something to bring home. The offerings feel thoughtfully selected, with enough variety to cover different cravings without making the menu feel scattered. Service is friendly and efficient, and the small size of the shop adds to the charm. Since it has become a popular local spot, some items can sell out during busy hours, so arriving earlier gives you the best selection. Parking can also be a little challenging during peak times, but the quick grab-and-go style makes the visit easy to manage. Clover Bakery & Cafe is a great stop for anyone who enjoys Japanese bakeries. The combination of fresh breads, affordable prices, and unique savory options like onigiri makes it feel different from a standard bakery. It is the type of place where it is worth picking up a few items and trying a mix of everything, leaving you with the sense that you have found a little neighborhood gem that delivers on both quality and variety.
