Stopped in today (Sunday) around 10:30am for some donuts. It wasn't super busy but there were good social distancing practices in place. There were two women at the counter and thus only two customers were inside at a time getting their donuts. Patrons were good about starting the line at the door and waiting outside if necessary. Service was quick and we were in an out of there in a couple minutes. They still had a good selection when we came in but there were definitely some kinds that were sold out already. My fiancé got a couple of the chocolate frosted custard donuts. I got a bear claw and a maple glazed donut. It cost $6.50 for the 4 donuts we chose. Instantly, you can tell the donuts are fresh. They are so light, soft, and pillowy inside. The bear claw was stuffed with apple filling and it was delightful. read more

Came in at around 0600 to bring a box of donuts to work. The lady was so sweet and I told her I'd never been there before so she could surprise me with a variety of what she wanted and she was so happy to do so. I got to looking through the menu while waiting and would definitely want to come back and try their other pastries. My coworkers and I loved the donut selection. read more

I ordered 3 dozen of donuts mixed, and 3 coffee jugs on November 17 for a later date, December 8 for a work event. The man who took my order was very patient as I figured out how much I needed to order and what to order. Today (December 8) I picked it up, and it was a great experience. The young man working the counter helped me load my car with the coffee, donuts, bags of necessities; he had the cups, tops, napkins, milk, etc. ready to go in bags. The donuts and coffee were thoroughly enjoyed by my colleagues. I had a lot of compliments for choosing this place. I recommend this place for a sweet treat for yourself or for catering breakfast. Very reliable, very helpful- and the case displaying the variety of donuts makes this place 100% awesome. read more

I pass Dainty Donuts on my way to Home Depot. I pass Dainty Donuts on my way home. I've passed Dainty Donuts time and time again. No more. I stopped. It was time. I was late to the party. Came in for pick-up during COVID-19, and was impressed. Very clean, good handling by counter-person (mask, gloves), and even plastic no-sneeze dividers on counter. 1. Cinnamon Roll -- great look, great taste. Doesn't get much better than this. [4.5 stars] 2. Glazed -- didn't look great and can't compare to Krispy Kreme's melt in your mouth, but was actually really good. Light, fluffy cake, good sugar coating. [4.0 stars] 3. Custard-filled chocolate -- looked good, but it's very close to vanilla pudding and not as good as that would be. Imitation tasting, and not enough of it. Chocolate coating and cake, decent. [3.0 stars] One thing for sure, these donuts must be eaten within a few hours. They totally degradate, not even the next day, but 10-12 hours later. Frankly, not very good at all. read more

Omg this was my first time here this morning. I work nearby and decided to come in before going to work. It wasn't too busy, but at least 8 people were in there and I loved seeing that! Small little shop and the folks that were working were so nice and seemed happy! I ordered 2 donuts and a Vietnamese coffee. Only at 1 donut and it's SO fluffy and just the right amount of moist! Sizes are big and the options they had were plenty I am definitely going to come here again! Already recommended this place to others. read more

I've visited this location approximately 4 times within random hours before leaving a review. The glaze donuts are really good. At times, I've noticed the glaze on the twist can get hard at times to the point it cracks. It appears to be family owned. The daughter is always nice and polite. I came in today to get donuts thinking I would get a half dozen , I couldn't find any additional flavors so I decided to get 4-5 donuts instead. The mother took the donuts out of the box and put all of the donuts inside of a white sleeve TOGETHER. I understand the cost of inventory can be expensive, but If I had of known, I would have just doubled up to complete the half dozen My previous orders with the daughter, I never encountered this issue. It left a weird vibe for me. read more

*** PSA*** Customers with allergies (e.g. nuts) - once you mention your allergy concerns to the employee, BE VERY OBSERVANT on how the he handles cross contamination. First, our guy (young) did not know how to handle our request to keep one of the donuts away from nuts. He did not know what to do. Once his co-worker advised him to get a clean tong from behind, he was careless about cross contaminating... and unapologetic about this when I point things out to him. NO !!!

We ended a morning outing in Las Trampas Regional Park with a stop at Dainty Donuts, and this will be my routine now every time I hike in this area.

I haven't been here since I moved to Dublin but I'm happy I came back and introduced my boyfriend to the great Dainty Donuts. He described them perfectly; heavy and thick almost like a cake but at the same time doesn't feel heavy when you eat them. Tastes more like heavenly. It's so hard to find a good raisin danish snail and they do it just right. Unfortunately I don't always make it in time and they sell out cuz they only make a couple a day. For that I should give them 1 star. Just kidding, they're amazing and their apple fritter is up to our standards and a must have. read more

All your standard donuts here in this little mum and pop shop. Super nice people here and their display case is always filled with just sugary goodness. Take your pick of anything really. Nothing fancy, just get to the point donut. Favorites will always be a simple glazed twist or a french crueller. Sometime, if I'm feeling dangerous, I get some donut holes too, and mom here gives me some extra ones. I can't waste them right? Come by. read more

This donut shop is the embodiment of a small business that truly cares! I have been coming to Dainty Donuts since I started going to school and have never been disappointed! Their donuts are soft and have a light glaze that isn't overly sweet which is definitely rare for other donut shops I've tried. My go-tos have been their french cruller, donut holes, and a classic glazed! The shop owners are super sweet and very willing to help you pick out the perfect donut! read more

The donuts doughy and not very good. The woman behind the counter was in such a hurry that my children couldn't pick what they wanted and we ended up leaving with half of our order. I will never return to this donut shop just purely on the fact that the woman behind the counter was so rude and pushy that we couldn't even take time to look at what was in the case. There was another family in front of us and we couldn't see everything that was in the case and yet the woman wanted our order immediately. Worst donut experience I've had in my 51 years on this planet. When it up throwing away the donuts and going to Digbys Donuts. Much better donuts and service. l mmm Go anywhere but here. read more

One of my coworkers was in San Ramon and decided to pull over to grab doughnuts. Lucky for me as we had two dozen donuts to share! Had my breakfast (and maybe a snack later) of these delicious goodies on Monday, August 28th around 10am. We had a variety of donuts. I started with what I think was the crumb raised donut. There's nothing dainty about these donuts. They are just the good old fashion donuts I remember having as a kid. Doughy, but not too dense. I moved on to the sugar donut next, which I think was more of a cake donut? Light and not too sweet. I ended with a sprinkled cake. I love sprinkles, so this was a great way to end the day. I adore donuts and these did not disappoint. With a name like dainty donuts, I expected them to be light and girlie. Instead, they reminded me of the donuts I had growing up. Kinda fitting since I partly grew up on San Ramon. If you're craving some hot, fresh donuts, I'd say Dainty Donuts is the place to get them. read more

I love a good raspberry jelly donut. Again, nice chew and not too sweet. Filling didn't have that artificially taste and spread evenly with each bite. I enjoyed it. DD loved the chocolate cake with cereal top. She didn't share bc it was that good to her. Hubs ate the chocolate glaze and maple bar by himself so I couldn't taste either. I guess the fam enjoyed it.

The fritter is thin, had apples and isn't bad. I actually liked that it wasn't thick which can cause it to be gummy or undercooked inside. It was slightly burnt along the edges which can happen because these guys need more fry time. It was lacking cinnamon for me but overall, not bad. Not too sweet either.

My Office wanted donuts, so I dropped into Christy's to grab some…read more Of course, donuts are one of the things that I really can't resist if they're in front of me, so I had to try one... and a half. They aren't the best donuts I've ever had, but they were pretty good! I definitely wouldn't turn one away. I'm knocking them one star because, even though it was pretty early, I thought the selection wasn't amazing, and they're CASH ONLY. I can't believe I even had cash because I NEVER have cash, and now I DON'T have cash anymore because I spent it on freaking donuts. Crisis averted, but I was pretty sure I was going to have to have to walk out and leave my dozen donuts behind. I feel a little harsh knocking a star for that, but come on.

It was my first time ever coming to one and the level of expertise and knowledge that the person giving me my ice cream was incredible.

They usually have seasonal things like pumpkin in the fall or peppermint in the winter. No matter the flavor the ice cream will come out rich and delicious. Every time I go there's usually a lime but it goes by fast. I encourage you to sample because they're all so good! They also have some pints to take home which I've done plenty of times. My favorites to take home are their brownie and cookie dough flavors. There's a bench outside of the store and a few tables to enjoy your ice cream.

My tacos were excellent. They were moist and piping hot when they were delivered to my table. When we walked in the owner was very friendly and made us feel very welcome. I thought the prices were very fair. We ate inside for this visit. However, I did see a very large outdoor eating patio. When I come back, I will definitely try the outdoor patio. If you are looking for a new casual Mexican restaurant with authentic Mexican food and a great vibe. I highly recommend Un Taco Mas. It is right on the corner when you pull into the shopping center.

All of us liked what we had. This is a family run business making it a special place for us. We started with two carnitas tacos and liked the flavors. Their tacos are the smaller street-size and are soft but heated on the grill. Presentation was excellent, sorry no picture today. As noted by another review, the Pescado tostada is ceviche. The server gladly substituted fried fish for the ceviche. The end product, as shown, was excellent. They do a good job purchasing tortillas. They also make their own chips from the tortillas. For a new restaurant, their menu is quite extensive. We recommend giving them a try.

I went on a Monday around 10:45a and had plenty of parking, lots of seating and quick service. I ordered the Banana Bread Latte, which was something I never had before. It was on their seasonal menu. A little heavy on the cinnamon, but honestly very good. Had real bits of banana in it too. I would definitely get it again, if available. My daughter got a berry matcha, also on the seasonal menu. She said it was fine, a little too light in color. Reminded her of the Starbucks berry matcha. I'm not a matcha guy, so I'm going off what she says. But she did enjoy it. The baristas were nice and they were very efficient. Only 2 on staff when we went, but it wasn't super busy at the time. Lots of indoor seating, high counter tables with power ports if you need to work. Plush chairs to work or relax in. But the real draw is outside. Once you look out the large windowed back wall, you see a lovely view of a lake. There are lots of chairs and tables, along with a dock with more chairs and tables. The views are great and it's crazy to think it's nestled inside a business park. There is a waiver to sign if you want to take the boat ride, there are also some rowboats out there. The ride last about 12min and was very pleasant and fun. My daughters enjoyed themselves and we just relaxed and took in the sights. If you want to sit out and relax, there is the dock with great seating. Also various spots around the lake have lounge chairs or other seating. There is a market with 3 different eateries inside.

Dainty Donuts used to be our go-to spot, especially for their apple fritters. We loved coming here and always looked forward to their delicious, perfectly made treats. Unfortunately, the last two visits have been a huge letdown. The fritters were completely burnt both times, and the most recent one had absolutely no apples--just a dry, overcooked pastry. After giving them another chance and experiencing the same issue, we've decided to start getting apple fritters from Safeway instead. Surprisingly, they now taste more like what Dainty Donuts used to be. Really disappointed to see the quality go downhill. Hope they make some changes and bring back the great fritters we used to love read more

This place has very nice selection of donuts. I had a half dozen glazed and 6 random assortment for our family coffee date. Plus my father had to order his favorite French crueler and was magically happy he went back inside and ordered one to save for desert tomorrow All donuts were tasty and not greasy. Fluffy and sweet sugar goodness. Definitely a yelp worthy donut stop. read more
