A little more expensive than most other donut shops, but it even outs considering how huge the donuts are here. read more

Best Donuts - Donuts... Donut. - Donuts Near Me - Santa Clara, California

I don't always give 5 stars but I really love these donuts and think someone needs to make up for all the *arses* who gave unreasonably low ratings for very ignorant reasons. Reasons I love this place: THE DONUTS ARE OFF THE HOOK GOOD! I love the dough, softness and flavor. The donuts are still soft and yummy on day 2 after I brought them home and let them sit on the counter. Close enough, I can walk to. Never too busy. Love their messy style of decorating the donuts (that is their shtick). Owner is alway friendly and smiles. (he may not speak much English, but I don't speak any other languages either, so we are even) He is way more pleasant than some of the people who posted here on his yelp. This a local owned business and I prefer to patronize locals before chains when I can. Yes, they ONLY TAKE CASH, but every owner-owned donut shop in the US does this, so no surprise there. read more

I come every morning, helps me get ready for the long day ahead.. The owners work very hard come grab a special.. read more

Best Donuts - Ted special - Donuts Near Me - Santa Clara, California

They're donuts and you can't really go wrong with them unless your avoiding sweets or fried food. I got a dozen of donut holes for $2.40 and they were pretty big compared to the one I've gotten from other places. I came in the afternoon so naturally, they weren't fresh and piping hot, but they were still good. It's also empty and there's lots of parking in the area. The person helping me was really nice :-) read more

My fiancee' and I wanted a close doughnut shop for a quick bite and cup of coffee. We stopped at Best Doughnut and were pleasantly surprised. It's small and empty, but the little lady inside greeted us with a smile and explained her specials. The selection is very basic, but if you want a simple doughnut with a cup of coffee this place will surely suite your fancy. Overall, a very enjoyable experience and a great way to start a relaxing Saturday in San Jose. 5 stars for the little lady working with what she's got. read more

This donut shop is just around the corner from me so it's very convenient! The ambiance in the store isn't all that, but I'm not looking to eat my donuts here so it's not a problem. This is a family-owned business so although the donuts aren't the best donuts in the world, I'm quite happy supporting a local business. I like their cake donuts (and normally I dislike cake donuts) and their glazed donuts. read more

Okay okay, yeah, the place is a bit on the ghetto side but jeeze, it's just a donut shop. The only donuts i've tried here are the chocolate cake donuts. They're pretty damn good to me. read more

Their chocolate cake donuts are the best by far. They are thick, heavy and great chocolate taste. I buy them by the dozen. My coworkers love them. Come by if you want a satisfying donut. read more

This place is not the best donuts, don't let them fool you. They were selling old donuts @5:52am when they should be fresh. Besides that they didn't have any selection. They should close this business. read more

Woke up late one Monday, came here for a donut and coffee fix and really had to keep myself from buying round two. Their donuts are delicious. Definitely try the cinnamon-sugar looking one. And can't go wrong with glazed. Plus, the sweet lady helping behind the counter dropped in a couple free donut holes!! Plus, I like the older feel to the place. Painted sign out front, the arcade games lined up by the front door and the menu signs scream 80s and 90s Definitely coming back read more

Don't let their name fool you. These are probably the worst donuts I've ever had. I stopped by on my way home from Starbucks. Grabbed a glaze, a maple bar, and some pastry with raspberry filling. The glaze was like biting into a sponge. The maple was over cooked and the topping was just plain nasty. The only reason they're getting 2 stars is because the lady working was sweet. read more

As others have mentioned this is truly a mom and pop shop. The wife works the counter and the husband makes the donuts in the back. The shop is definitely dated, and donuts are so-so. Some are even a little strange. But my daughter loves the maple donuts and the donut holes, so we go in regularly. The lady behind the counter is extremely nice and always has an extra treat for my daughter when we visit, which of course makes my daughter want to go more. So not the best, but if you want to support a local mom and pop, with friendly service, and aren't picky about the donuts, this is the place. read more

Best donut holes! Airry, soft, not overly sweet, perfect glaze, fresh- highly recommend !

This shop is a walk into the past, but not sure if that is good. The donuts were "ok" nothing grreat but not horribly horrible either. One thing I noticed was that all the donuts were extremely cold, maybe they keep them in a cooling display case. The old fashion glazed was probably the worst tasting one out of the bunch, but the cake donuts were good. This place would be a last resort in picking up donuts for church but not the office, unless you wanted to get fired. read more

This place is pretty dirty and the donuts look and taste terrible. I got a chocolate buttermilk bar, ate half of it until I found a hair in the chocolate topping. Unfortunately, the two free donut holes were no consolation. Oh the taste of regret! read more

I work around the corner from this donut shop, so it's very convenient to grab donuts in the morning for my co workers. I walked in today for the very first time and you initially think it may be a sketchy place because its next door to a smoke shop and a bar. When you enter it is dated like other reviews say but the donuts are fresh and a great size. I got 6 donuts for $5.50. I don't know if that's cheap or expensive but I thought it was a great price for the donut size. The lady who seemed like she was the owner was very nice and pleasant. She even topped off my box with some donut holes. I like going to shops that aren't franchised and I plan to come back. read more

I am really not sure how or why this place is still open. It smells awful. Like old burned cooking oil. I tried a banana nut muffin since the smell of grease turned me off from wanting a donut. This was the absolute WORST muffin I've ever had. It had no flavor. It smelled like banana but it tasted like flour, uncooked flour. Definitely my last visit here! read more

I've been driving right past this place to work and always planning to stop to check them out. Today I finally made time. As others have noted, the place looks fairly run-down inside. But donuts isn't a big money-making business so I was willing to overlook that for quality products. Was planning to get a big box for the office but the donuts looked a bit scary so I decided to just get a couple to try. Bought a pair of old-fashioned chocolate donuts and brought them back to the office. Classically, the chocolate glaze should be dried, so that the donuts don't stick together. But I'm also okay with places that like to have the glaze a bit more gooey, to seem "fresh". These donuts, though, didn't have a glaze. They had frosting spread across them in uneven mess. I was starving so I took one bite, but the underlying dough was greasy and under-cooked. Inedible. Chucked them both into the garbage and I can't remember ever throwing a donut away before. read more

My neighborhood donut shop. Usually very good, light and fluffy plain glazed, great cinnamon twists. Their apple fritters are a little too greasy. Very affordable and main lady is generous late in the morning. read more

This is a pretty sketchy donut shop... just by the looks of it, but from what my family thinks, they have the best maple donuts. I would probably buy from them more if they took other forms of payment besides cash. I also wish they had better coffee. read more

Oh donuts, so many holes in the wall so little time :)! This one came out of no where I tell yah! Nooks an crannies of this city still did not camouflage this little store, I spotted it and had a maple and crumb donut! Would like to drop by again some time :)! read more

If I could give zero stars I would. Love to support local businesses, definitely not an "arse" as one reviewer referred to negative reviewers and didn't have a bad customer service experience. The woman working was delightful and that is the only thing about this shop that isn't NASTY. It's dirty and doesn't smell very good and the donuts are so disgusting I couldn't take more than a small bite before throwing out. It was mid-morning so donuts really shouldn't be soggy or burnt tasting. Soggy donuts, totally a first for me. I'm not sure I've ever thrown a donut away. This business should reconsider itself or fix the problems so it can provide even a remotely enjoyable donut. read more

This donut shop is within walking distance for me so I decided to give it a try and I was very disappointed. The donuts are alright but I can't get over how expensive they are! I didn't realize that if you didn't order all the same donuts in your dozen that you would be charged for them individually. I can't believe the bar donuts are a $1.50. Are you kidding? I've just never experienced that at a donut shop. I'm used to picking 12 standard donuts and being charged for a dozen. Not 90cents for a glazed donut and $1.50 for a bar... I won't be going back. read more

Clearly a walk into the past. Donuts aren't well-made toppings are thrown everywhere unevenly on the donuts, which gave it a weird looking. Not to mention donuts are so-so and below a good standard, everything is slightly more expensive than other places. Avoid it if you can, but if you are craving for a sweat treat and the so-called ' best donut' is on the way, try to order maple donuts. Their maple donuts are above average and actually every good tasting and good looking. Coffee is very diluted so if you are looking for a caffeine fix, this coffee might not help you function. read more

Never been inside (people have brought them to our house a few times), but man, are these good donuts. First off, they are HUGE -- the size of a small house. Secondly, they are tasty. I've tried several varieties and haven't been disappointed. Third, they are relatively cheap. I try not to eat donuts too often, but when I do, I wouldn't ever feel the need to drive any further than this place to get them. read more

They were ait. If u want a donut and your in the area. Get one lol it wasn't hella good and wasn't hella nasty. But I'm eating my second one as we speak so they weren't that bad. The lady was nice:) read more

Nice atmosphere. Not new but still well maintained. Good amount of options. Does not accept credit cards. Cash only.

May favorite place to get donuts. My kids like them better than anywhere else. And the owner is the most amazing woman.

Yummy donuts here. The glazed and chocolate donuts remind me a lot like a local favorite in Santa Clara. Their dough has substance unlike a lot of other donut shops. The female owner is also very friendly. One critique is there is a lot of visible clutter, but don't let it stop you from coming inside and grabbing a delicious donut. read more

Great little donut shop. Super yummy donuts. Great customer service. Friendly clientele. Stop by if you need donuts.

This is my go to donut spot in Santa Clara. The business is super aged and that's one reason I really like it. Walk inside and look around at the history of the place. Look at the vintage signs on the wall. There are two old, dusty arcade cabinets. As far as the donuts go, they're so tasty. They have a slight crispy consistency that most South Bay donut places just don't have. The owners are friendly. They only take cash. read more

This has to be the worst donut place I've ever been to. The other morning I was craving donuts this place is close to home so I stopped by the man couldn't tell me what the donuts were filled with nor the names of the he just kept saying 1 dollar he did not speak an ounce of English.The place is by far one of the dirtiest places I've ever been to although the donuts look like they've been there for weeks I got 2 for $2.50 worst money ever spent they tasted like nothing but grease and super stale. Next time I'll just go to 711 read more

If you're from the East Coast and miss Dunkin Donuts (from a few years ago when they were AWESOME), you'll love Best Donuts. Maple and chocolate glazed are our favorites. The donuts are sweet but not too sweet; soft and oh-so yummy!!! The husband-and-wife owners are super-friendly. Whenever I need donuts for post-soccer games or a birthday at the office, I order from this local business. read more

I asked for the 6 for 5.50 and was told to select any donut, only to be cashed out at 10.50 for 6 donuts. The woman should have immediately told me that these were not for the 5.50 price. The raised donuts were gluey, the buttermilk were dry, the apple fritter while it has lots of apples and nicely crisply fried it seemed raw inside read more
