Hands down, the most consistent fresh donuts ever!! I can't say there has ever been a donut I didn't like, but Donut Basket takes it to another level. So light, airy, crispy, (depending on your favorite kind-here they are all my favorite)and so fresh that the oil must be changed all the time in order to achieve this level of freshness. It doesn't stop there, now on to the savory breakfast sandwiches...excellent! The Thai iced coffee, hits the spot. If you enjoy just regular breed coffee, do not worry, they have you covered with the assortment of flavored creamer, and are always completely stocked. There isn't a morning I have walked in there in over 10 years that I didn't immediately get an early morning, warm, "at your donut service" smile. All the employees working at the donut counter have matching polo shirts, and I adore this detail. Have you ever seen matching shirts at a donut shop?? Well, this is when the little details jump out at you, and scream, "Donuts are our business!" And let me mention, not a stain, a discoloration on those shirts. They are practically pressed to a crisp, giving you the confidence that they keep a clean shop. I must leave you at that, because now I owe myself a random trip to the 'OL Donut Basket. Try it, you'll see and taste my words. read more

Always incredible service and quality of donuts!!! This place was packed on a Wednesday morning.

The good: Friendly staff, really fresh and doughy donuts, the maple bar had good flavor. The bad/needs improvement: The jelly was pretty bad. Again, a lot of these mom and pop donut shops use very generic, dollar store filling in their jelly donuts and it's terrible. The icing on the maple bars could have been thicker as well. Overall a better than average experience, but I think San Jose is ripe for someone to come into the donut market and really shake things up. Different flavors, higher quality, etc. You're seeing this in Pismo Beach, CA with surfside donuts and BAD Donuts in Elk Grove, CA. This shop has a great foundation, they just need to up their game a bit. read more

the sandwiches are the best, always super fresh and taste just like how i remember as a kid. the staff is also super friendly. i recommend it read more

I got to try this donut shop, and the donuts here are amazing! On a Friday morning, and there was already a line out the door. After waiting about 5 minutes, I finally got to the front. I was surprised to see that the display case was already fairly empty and most of the donuts were already sold. I got the cinnamon roll and it was really fresh and tasty. It was not too sweet, either. I really loved how soft the cinnamon roll was. Overall, a great place to get fresh donuts read more

We have tried a number of their donuts and have yet to encounter any we didn't like. We also appreciated that the donuts were not overly sweet. We look forward to our next trip there. read more

I finally tried out this place, our usual donut place is out of business. This place is amazing! I wanted to try the basic raised glazed, glazed donut holes, and a bear claw. They were delicious, it was soft and big. Well worth the money. The place is super clean the staff are friendly quiet people. Since then, I've been back a few times, I totally lost count. I go there at least twice a week for the office. read more

This place has the BEST croissants... omg are they ever yummy!!! big, fluffy, and slightly sweet. you have to try them!!! donuts are good - nothing to complain about. to me, a donut is a donut, so unless they are particularly bad, i don't have much to say. nothing wrong here. they also make sandwiches, which my kids tell me are really good. prices are very reasonable. a ham croissant sandwich i think was about $3.50 - wow! it's become a favorite spot... can't believe it took me so long to find this place! read more

10/10 spot got a variety of items from donut to sandwich/bagel as well as a smoothie everything was delicious would order again

Really good fresh donuts and the people were very nice. It's a cute little store with a great new vibe.

Clean, fast service and polite. A variety of tasty doughnuts. The group enjoyed them all. I will return another time in the future. read more

Came here Saturday morning for a croissant sandwich and maybe some donuts to be super satisfied! The employees are so nice and work efficiently. I didn't get a box of donuts since I came to eat a sandwich but I did try their donut holes which were also delicious for a really good price. I'm definitely going to come back here and make it my usual donut spot now. read more

I've been coming here since I was in elementary school. They watched me grow up and always have smiles on their faces. Their donuts are the best and always sell out. Their sandwiches are also great! I definitely recommend! read more

Good breakfast sandwiches, good coffee, good donuts, great service. I order every weekend about...

I love fluffy donuts that aren't too sweet and this place hit the spot. It reminds me alot of Mr.Chau's donuts in the east side which are the donuts I grew up with. This place is also owned by asians and make very similar donuts. yummmmm. The bagel and croissant sandwiches are reasonably priced and filled with lots of protein. Happy to have found yet another donut place I enjoy read more

I've been coming here for 5 years. Favorite donut place. The staff is so nice and great customer service. Always

Everything is always fresh and delicious. The cheese Jalapeño bagels have a nice hot kick to them. The cheese bagels are delicious. The apple fritters are by far the best I've had. The vietnamese coffee is also good and not super sweet like a lot of other places - it will wake you up. We always get a little extra something put in our bag when we order. That's a nice surprise. Great donut shop! read more

i always drop by here before heading to oak hill to visit loved ones. there's always a large variety to choose from if you come in early enough. breakfast sandwiches are amazingly delicious. ice coffee is always strong and thirst quenching. i can't seem to go anywhere else for donuts. no other bakery can compare to their soft pillowy donuts and just the right amount of sweetness. plus, all employees i've dealt with seem nice and efficient. 5 stars for this picky gal! read more

Very good service, everyone was friendly and had a nice smile. Chocolate and glazed donuts is what I ordered and I small coffee which was also very good! The people are clean in this place too! They offer many options for breakfast and lunch,but I will try those next time! read more

Really good donuts! Their glazed is Almost as good as Stans. Soft and chewy. Love their cinnamon bun. Not too sweet either. Much closer to my house so I will frequent here more often. read more

AMAZING donuts, coffee, sandwiches! I love this place and the staff is so nice! They accidentally got our drink wrong (it was really loud) but we were happy with what they made instead, and to make it up they gave us 2 extra donuts. Very very nice people and I'll continue to recommend them:) read more

I love these donut delights--precious, soft, and fluffy texture. Especially the donut holes!

What a nice little place! I popped in because I just wanted a donut and...this place obliged! The person working there was really nice, and quickly got me my old fashioned donut. And it was perfectly good! They also have banh mi here, but I didn't try them. Maybe one day. A solid donut shop :) read more

They are the best breakfast place ever and my favorite place to go whenever I'm in the area. They have breakfast sanwhiches (bagel or croissants) and regular sanwhiches. They have coffee both iced and hot, smoothies and of course a large variety of donuts. They make the most amazing fluffy donuts, always fresh, just as well as all their croissants and bagels. Their customer service is amazing as well, very hardworking friendly people. If you like starbucks mocha frap, I recommend their blended ice mocha, taste better than Starbucks and same thing. read more

This is the real place folks. Been regularly coming in and ordering from here for over a year now. They already know what we're going to order -- egg & cheese croissant sandwich, no meat, with salt and pepper. And throw in some donuts and donut holes. It's just delicious and consistent, even when ordering via delivery. The sandwiches never fail to disappoint. Personal favorite? The maple crullers. Sweet, sweet creamy, melt in your mouth maple crullers. Oh yeah. read more

Buy any dozen, get an extra donut for free. They also serve croissant breakfast and they are reasonable in price and size!! Arrived and the place has the aroma of fresh donuts. That or on this Sunday morning all the early birds are still snuggling in their warm beds as it's breezy, cold and partially raining with the sun peeking out every so often. There is something about these type of donuts that will keep everyone coming back. The taste of their donuts just seems to melt in your mouth. They are soft, moist and enjoyable with a good Cup of Joe or your fave Hot Drink! There is seating in the back. Tomorrow morning I'm gonna have to try the Croissant Sandwiches!! Seriously try your local Donut Bakery!! You can't go wrong. read more

they're very good love their donuts! sweet workers too i love getting their bagels and their sprinkle donuts

This spot has decent donuts, but it's their croissant breakfast sandwiches that are killer!! The Hubby and I will drive all the way across town to have one of their sandwiches on the weekend before buying the healthier stuff at Whole Foods :) read more

This donut place is BY FAR the best donut place I've been to, whether for a donut or breakfast sandwich. Their donuts are so fresh they practically melt in your mouth and they have these wonderful cinnamon swirl donuts with maple icing that no other place makes. Because of their location, many don't know they are there but you MUST GO! They are also on doordash. read more

I haven't been to a donut shop in years, but I was up early one Saturday morning recently, and I got the urge. I ended up at the Donut Basket after driving to a shop closer by and finding it unexpectedly closed (thanks, Internet). It was only 7:30 AM, but there was a line. The short wait allowed me to plan my purchase and check out the shop. It smelled great - no old grease in the fryer- and everything looked neat and clean. I got a dozen in 6 varieties. All were super fresh and tasty, but the apple fritter was outstanding. Best ever. I shared these with some reluctance. read more

First time trying this place. The people were friendly, service was quick and the donuts were very yummy. They tasted fresh and were soft and moist considering it was 10:20am (can be a bit late for donut realm). My only complaint is that they were a bit pricey. Over $12 for my dozen, granted we did get larger donuts too but but I've been to a few other places that had equally good donuts for a more affordable price. Sorry, just being honest. read more

They got good burritos for breakfast. The eggs taste fresh and good. I don't really like potatoes but their potatoes taste bomb.

Standard donuts. Nothing special and nothing offensive. I don't know why Americans like their pastry so damn sweet. I'm American and I hate that much sugar in my pastry. If you want standard American doughnuts then here you go. read more

The donuts, bagels and drinks are so delicious here. The coffee blended drinks are amazing and the donuts are so fresh. The only downside is the seating area is really dirty. read more

Best doughnuts around. One competes but I won't mention their name but this one is more moist. Coffee is a little expensive given for a mom and pop shop. Starbucks feels cheaper read more

#140 is going to a donut review. I feel like competition is stiff when it comes to donut shops. Most "chains" can't hold a candle to these independently-owned bakeries and makes it all that harder to get any customers to stay loyal. I mean, who hasn't inhaled a Krispy Kreme donut already; to me it's not all that mouth-watering to keep me coming back day-in/day-out. I say, NEXTward to any decently-reviewed donut store you can step into! I dropped in on a Friday morning after getting tipssed off a Benedict and Peach mimosa. Don't ask how, it just happened. So I felt there needed to be a little more 'fluff' to kinda help all that settle in my belly: Donut Basket to the rescue. The two ladies behind the counter were welcoming and really on top of operations for the morning. The counter display is Clean, Organized, so much that you can see all the way BEHIND the trays to the next wall. I tell you, them doughboy racks was flawless! They also have the best selection of refrigerated drinks I've ever seen. Plentiful, all lined up in pretty little rows, I got the Strawberry Milk of course. I didn't get a chance to really check out the coffee counter by the window but it seemed well-kept if you ask me. Here's my typical half-dozen order: 2 sugar for the 'rents, 2 crumb and 2 choco/choco-sprinkle if I'm feeling a little special that day. I tipped on this page that the total came down to a flat dollar amount and the transaction went pretty fast for a card swipe. I'd come back again if it was another special Rest Day but I'd be careful because like bread, donuts can make you fat =]. read more
