Three stars because they still had a good selection of donuts after 10am on a Sunday. However the donuts themselves were oily and over fried. Even my kids who are usually grateful to even have donuts asked why they were so "crunchy ". Doubtful we will return. read more

Delicious donuts. Such a wide range and plenty of them. The apple fritters and cinnamon swirls are huge. The filled donuts are just right. The only trouble is you'll want to buy so many, the price can really mount up. And like any good donut shop, they have great coffee and a wide range of cold drinks. Covid safety is done well and taken seriously by staff and customers. And there's an ok parking lot. Brighten someone's day during COVID, and drop off some donuts for a friend or a student who is stuck at home! read more

Yes! I ordered through Doordash and got *exactly* what I wanted from my special instruction. On top of that they wrote my name in cute writing on the box- a sweet touch. Thank you! read more

Amazing breakfast burrito with sausage. They had a plethora of hot sauces but they gave me tapatio, which was good enough. I got the burrito without potatoes and it was amazing, just what I would expect from a quality donut shop. Will definitely come back when I'm in the area! read more

do not eat breakfast there!!!! they microwave everything! very disappointed! the breakfast burrito was garbage. sausage had no taste. eggs were nasty. and potatos were nasty. Donuts were not fresh! read more

Good cake doughnuts. I stopped on my way to work. I got a half dozen. They have a good selection of frosted cake doughnuts and the most tempting old fashion glazed. I was very tempted to buy a dozen, but with only a large staff I would have had an excuse to eat 4 or 5 by myself. After tipping my half dozen was $5.25. I think the place for prices, taste, and selection gets a 4 read more

Chuck's Donuts - Vanilla frosted, Old fashion glazed, Orange frosted. - Donuts Near Me - Belmont, California

They donuts are amazing! My favorites are the raised crumb donuts, which most places don't even make, and their buttermilk donuts. The service is quick and friendly, unlike the corporate owned donut shop just around the corner. read more

I love this place! Great varieties at 7pm! We drive to Chuck's each time we have to go to SFO Airport. It's worth picking up my Apple Fritter, old fashioned, sprinkles, red velvet, and more!! I recommend you get your doughnut fill at Chuck's. read more

Great chocolate and almond croissants! Both are tasty and decently sized. Found the donuts to be average. A little too greasy for me.

One of my co-workers always brings donuts from Chuck's to work. So I had their donuts a dozen times before I ever went to their store. I made a note to myself to go there, to the actual store, but for a couple years I never had time. Finally, I was running early to work so I had time to stop by Chuck's! I went in there and no Chuck, just an Asian woman, lol. Guess Chuck's is just the name. I dunno. I got a breakfast sandwich which I didn't care for and would not get again. And I got some donuts. The donuts were the bomb as usual. So I went back a couple more times and had more donuts and they were excellent. If you're a true donut lover, you will love their donuts, they do them right! This place honestly is one of the best donut places in the Bay Area. Good prices!! 5 stars because these donuts are really, really good. read more

Sitting down having my still warm apple fritter knowing I'll have to run way more miles tomorrow than I planned and guess what? Totally worth it!!! Ah-maz-ing! read more

We had not been in to Chuck's for a few years after having a few disappointing experiences. However, last summer we heard there were some management changes and so went back. And we keep coming back! The donuts are fresh, taste crisp (no old grease flavor) and the selection broad. The buttermilk bars and crullers are both well done, along with your typical cake and raised donut varieties. Happy to discover the quality is back. Service is great, fast and friendly, too! If you have not been in lately, come back, you'll be glad you did. read more

great place for good coffee a fresh donut and a smiling happy helpful staff. I go every morning and the place is a great place to start my day read more

Coffee and donuts are good but the service is horrible. I went in this morning ask for six medium coffees and lady says let's start with donuts which we did made it to counter and ask what are we drinking, I say six coffee. I grab my six coffees, which lucky I had two guys to help. I start making my 2 coffee and lady's starts saying take you're donuts, I say give me a second I am making my coffee. Which she didn't handed my donuts bag to my hand, which means I have to eat them in different location to finish my coffee then what do they do next they start rushing me to pay. Then they start saying if I don't like the business to go some where else's. Which I've replied I'll be out of my mind to come back! In other words don't go if you have big crew they will rush you out. read more

One of the better jelly donuts I've ever had. But, kept hearing from locals how amazing Chucks Donuts is. Don't get me wrong, it was good! But, not an "omg I have to go back". $2 per donut if you buy singles and they guilt you with the tip option at the end of purchase and stare at you as you decide what to press read more

Went back here to get 2 dozen donuts for the office today. Regular donut costs $0.80 and a dozen $7.00. I didn't know this but you can't mix and match the french cruller ($0.90) or jelly donuts ($1.25) since they cost more. I asked if she can mix them in and I'll just pay difference between the special and regular donuts, simply add it to the $7.00 price. Unfortunately you can't because my box was filled with 24 donuts before I could even finish my explanation. I asked if I can swap some of those donuts for crullers or jellies. The prompt reply was "No, you buy extra. Dozen jellies $10.50". Since 3 dozen donuts is way too much for my office I just stuck with the original 2 dozen. Also no such thing as a bakers dozen here. I always get a bakers dozen from Rolling Pin, sometimes even a small bag of free donut holes. Oh well, this experience is the answer to my question next time I contemplate whether or not to make the longer drive to Rolling Pin. read more

Very nice lady working behind the counter. I bought some donuts and she threw in a little something extra. Delicious donuts.

A dozen Donut holes for $2.50? Sure! Will definitely try the others in the next visit. The place is a small neighborhood donut shop. Traditional selections with ample selections of coffees and teas. The drinks like milk and juices are on the pricy side so unless you're dehydrated and need an extra sugar boost, stick with the donuts. read more

Was in the mood for a doughnut after business hours and they were open. They are raised glazed doughnut wasn't great but wasn't bad. The glazed buttermilk bar was pretty good though. Staff was not very friendly or talkative. She really seemed like she didn't want to be there. Not a great experience, and not a horrible one. read more

I came here a lot as a child & teen growing up in the 80's & 90's & I always remember the wonderful, donut holes, old fashion & raised glazed, chocolate with & without sprinkles, twists, apple frideders, chocolate & maple bars with & without custard etc. I recently went back & nothing has changed. Everything is as good as I remember. The woman waiting on us was very friendly. I always remember that freshly made smell of donuts & coffee alike. I got a bismark with lemon & my niese, an apple fridder. My bismark was wonderful with a lightly powdered crispy exterior & smooth lemon custard inside. The blueberry donuts are wonderful with blueberry icing & a moist interior. I will definitely be back for more. They were a bit greasy, but nothing to rune the taste. So, for wonderful donuts at low prices with friendly service in a casual atmosphere, Chuck's cannot be beat. Keep up the good work guys. read more

Just okay donuts in a creepy, cramped and dark environment. Most of their offerings are overly sweet. A bad sign is when a bakery uses sugar to compensate for good preparation of quality products. (I would put Krispy Kreme in the same category.) read more

This is one of those places that I'm glad there isn't a location close to where I live. I first tried Chucks 4 days ago and I've had it 2 more times since then. Each time has been very delicious. I really enjoy a donut that has a slight crisp on the outside with a nice, soft interior. On to some flavors. Normally, I steer clear of custard anything and I stuffed my face with two chocolate custard donuts in two days. TWO in TWO DAYS. The custard is light and velvety which is why it is so dangerous. The lemon jelly turns me into a monster. I know I shouldn't eat a whole one in one sitting but I find myself glaring at the other people who consider devouring the other lemon jelly. My preeeeeeccciiooous. The cinnamon glaze makes me want a cup of coffee and a good e-book. This one is the donut that makes you really appreciate that crunchy exterior and the soft interior. A lot of places glaze so much that it just makes the outside soggy but not this baby. It's ready for the party in your tummy. As for service, the people there have been very nice but of course they are going to be when they already know you will be back. Also, from what I understand, the people currently here are the new owners so that could explain the differences is newer vs. older reviews. read more

Convenient shop located half a mile before the 101 freeway for those who like to live dangerously (by speeding while cramming rainbow sprinkle donuts into their sugar-craving mouths). I was pleased to see they were open on Christmas Day - the road coffee made my drive much easier. They have a small parking lot and a few tables to lounge at. The fare is pretty standard donut shop offerings - glazed, sprinkled, bagels, apple fritters, old fashioned. But they have a pretty good selection of croissants and danishes. The coffee is all right. There were two options available when I was there, plus the standard sweeteners and cream. It's self-serve. I'm not too impressed with the bagels I've had, but the croissants and apple fritter make up for it. I love the almond croissant! read more

I have never had a bad experience here. The donuts are always fresh, and many times I've walked out with fresh, piping hot donuts. Donuts are cheap, good for your money and always, ALWAYS well-glazed. I've even gotten the chance to watch staff through the huge window (separating the storefront from the kitchen) as they cut the donuts out! :D Staff has always been nice as well. I used to come here to study late at night with my college dormmate, and the owner was always welcoming! read more

stopped in here on a rainy weekend, and it really made my weekend. Chuck's has a decidedly 70s wood paneling interior that is perfect for chilling out, gazing through the window and eating donuts. the service was great. the counter lady was like a benevolent donut fairy godmother. magical donuts is what i experienced. definitely what my rainy weekends call for. read more

I went back to try out a donut after a year. I ended up having a horrible stomach ache from my glaze donuts. Not sure what it is about this place? But last year when I got an apple fritter same thing happened. I had thought it was because they are not popular donuts the fritters. But it appears this place might not change out their oil very often? Just a guess, not a fact. Because I don't get this sick at other places. I have to say Pilgrim's Kitchen is my new found donut shop. read more

It's a 24/7 donut shop with donuts as cheap as $0.85- nuff said.

Stopped by this place this past weekend when saw their sign. Right when I walked in, the small swarm of flies should have alerted me right away but I thought to myself, hey this could be like one of this dirty chinese hole in the walls with super good food. I ordered a dozen donut holes and the crumb donuts - total $2. The donut holes in all seriousness tasted like chinese food. Why? I ultimately thought that it's probably because of the frequency in which they change their oil in the fryer...old oil = stale chinesy flavor. Not good, and I also felt kinda sick about an hour later. Won't go back. read more

Ah, Chuck's Donuts...sinful, sinful Chuck's donuts...Let me count the ways! I used to live in Redwood Shores, and with my unruly "sweet tooth," I'm afraid that my willpower didn't always work. Even now, when I no longer live at Redwood Shores, I still think of the place fondly and mentally think about how good those chocolate old-fashioned donuts taste. If I am in the area, I always stop by to grab one. Hmm, wonder if I should drive an hour and pay a $5 toll to go get one right now??? Yep, sounds good to me! :) read more

My first time visiting Chuck's, but it won't be my last! Each donut was delicious and moist and fluffy. Probably the best donuts I've ever had. I didn't get any of the fancier ones, just the old fashioned and dipped varieties, but they were each fantastic. I'll be recommending Chuck's to everyone! read more

Mmm donuts...these are by far my favorite donuts on the peninsula. Maybe because it was so close to my work at one point, but I judge a place by the quality of their raised glazed. And their's is yummy. MMM Speaking of, just writing this makes me want a donut. And if you want to know what time they close...well they don't. Super bonus. Check it out if you are in the area. read more

Stopped by chucks today, and while I was picking out my donut and paying for it (1.50 with small coffee) this lady walks in front of me and plunks down a buck for coffee and just stands there until eventually the old asian lady puts out a fresh pot. She fills her cup. Then, still standing there blocking my way to the cups while old asian lady dumps the rest of a stale old pot into the fresh one. Not that it was probably all that great to begin with, but Thanks rude lady in the prius, and old asian lady behind the counter. You really made my day special. Leter on I got a stomacheache from the donut, which wasn't that great either. Oh, and don't forget they're cash only. But they do have an atm that will take a 10% cut. Pirgrims, eh? I'll have to give them a try. read more

This place sucks. On top of not having variety of donuts the lady in there was super rude. Demanded me to take my dog outside when he is a registered service dog. Unbelievable & no I'm not a Karen just complaining. I real life don't ever write bad reviews but this one was unacceptable. Don't go here you'll be treated rudely!!! read more

We arrived here pretty late in the night to find, the Belmont CIty Police hanging out. How more stereotypical can we get? I lucked out to find that they had glazed donuts fresh out. Add that to the 24 hour service, it warrants and extra star. The place is really old school, 70ish, as are the clientele at the late hour. They guy working the fryer was pretty nice. What's weird is the Chuck's donuts that's just one exit over down in San Carlos, but I don't think there's any relation. Guess you can't say there isn't "nightlife" in Belmont. HAH! read more

This place seems okay. There aren't any signs so we were a bit confused about whether it was open and then if it's actually 24 hours. The service was okay, nothing spectacular as she just rang us up. They were sold out of glazed donuts which I wasn't aware was possible. It's definitely the first time it's ever happened to me. As a result, I just got some donut holes and a cinnamon twist. Both of which were a little hard and not easy to finish in one go. Overall I probably won't be back. read more

I can't attest to the quality or taste of the doughnut varieties here because I've only been there once (tonight), but I like the low, spinning stools and round tables. I'm not the biggest fan of the fluorescent lighting or the wooden walls and ceiling, but I bought a half dozen ($3.75) to share with my friends. The glazed cruller I ate was delicious. Light, airy and not too overwhelmingly sweet. The man who was working here tonight (around 12:30 AM) asked me if I was Japanese (score!) and was 100% correct. He said it was in the eyes and he knew because he has a lot of Japanese friends. He's Cambodian, not Vietnamese. I'm looking forward to trying more of their doughnuts and their ham and cheese croissant! read more

Mmmm...nothing better than a chocolate glazed donut at 3:00 am!! The Donut: Super yummy and just the way I love it. Fluffy dough and pretty darn amazing flavor. The service: Fair. The patron working there took a while to come out of the donut prep area to help us, but it's 3:00 am, I should be happy I am even getting a donut at this time. Parking: Super convenient! The selection: Typical. Nothing new or creative, but the classics (glazed, old fashion, maple, Bear claws and Apple fritters) are all available. All in all the place looked tidy and the donuts looked appealing. I am happy I stopped by this Donut shop to satisfy my random sweet cravings at 3:00 am. read more

Been going here for years and never had a bad donut. I guess they have new owners or managers but this place has gone downhill in a hurry. Went to get my regular blueberry and the donuts were stale and otherwise tasted awful. On top of that they raised their prices!! If I could, I'd give less than 1 star...so long Chuck read more

Updating my review as I was informed by the new owner that this business did not shut down but changed management. I haven't been back since but look forward to checking out the new and improved Chuck's Donuts soon. I hope they still have the same delicious donuts! read more
