Stopped by for doughnut today and decided on a cinnamon roll and it was a good thing it was early because it was huge. I could have saved some for later but it was just too tasty. Come early and come hunger. The owners of this place are very nice and are very hard workers. It's hard to get up every morning early so that customers can have fresh doughnuts and coffee ready for their busy day. And if you stop by later around lunch time make sure try the teriyaki bowl. Some things never change and that's a great thing here at Doughnut King. read more

If I could put ZERO stars I would. I've been here 3 seperate occasions and all three times the lady was RUDE (the one with the darker hair). First time, I thought oh the donuts were okay she was just having a bad day. 2nd time she told me the iced coffee machine was broken, and as I was being rung up the other lady used the machine. The last time, I went because the quarantine and everything else was closed. This was the worst because I asked could you put hot chocolate with French vanilla? She caught an attitude and said that will make the drink cold I said that's fine can I have ice since you guys sell iced coffee. She said ice machine was broken, I disregarded this comment and just asked for half chocolate and half vanilla. When the second lady came out she had an attitude spoke in a different language and made my drink. Here's the part where the zero stars would come into play, she said she was going to charge me for the price of two coffees because she had to put hot & cold coffee together. I paid I walked out and I will never take my business there again. I Cannot speak on behalf of the other lady but the darker haired woman was bad enough to make me never want to step foot in that plaza again. Her customer service is TERRIBLE and she should be ashamed of how she conducts herself. read more

Great service, great donuts. It can get a little crowded but that speaks to how good these donuts are. The selection is great but get there early it gets busy fast. read more

Donut King - Donuts Near Me - Stockton, California

I was craving a late night snack but then late night turned to early morning... 5 in the morning. Thank goodness Donut King is open this early... I stopped by and was surprised that other people were awake too! Most likely commuters stopping by before going off to work. I was greeted warmly by the other and he helped me out right away. The shop is cozy and I wouldn't have mind sitting down to enjoy some donuts and coffee. There's a decent selection of donuts (jelly filled, glazed, cake, fritters, sprinkles, etc). Pretty much anything you can find at your typical donut shop. Prices: Donut - $0.80 each but specialty ones cost more Half Dozen - $4.60 Dozen - $8.00 Overall, 3.5 stars! read more

Donut King - a dozen donuts! - Donuts Near Me - Stockton, California

Must be going through a Sugar Imbalance or something... Two times consuming Donuts in One Week! And I wasn't even Bicycling yesterday! 2 1/2 Stars - Not for the same complaint in my previous review... but for the Donuts themselves. Filled Maple Bar (* 1/2 $1.50) Either Donut King does not know how to make Filled Maple Bars correctly... or the someone other than the owner made the last Filled Maple Bar left in the display case. I have to preface this critique that Filled Maple Bars with that Sugary-Sweet Custard filling IS my favorite item in a Donut shop. I've probably consumed more of those, by far, than my next favorites... Glazed Donut or a Glazed Twist, and then Sugar Donuts. I was never a Krispy Kreme fan. Today the only Filled Maple Bar left was actually cut in half from the side just to place the Custard Filling. You could have called this a Maple Bar Sandwich with Custard! As you can imagine the top and bottom of the Sandwich.... er, Maple Bar... was always sliding around. Messy, to say the least. I don't expect Donuts to be perfect, after all this is only a Donut shop, but I don't usually expect to use over a half dozen Napkins to "clean" myself up afterwards, either. Which brings up this question... Have you ever noticed that the places that serve Oily or Sticky food has the absolutely worst Napkins? Well, today was a double whammy! Donuts are both Oily AND Sticky! And you guessed it... Napkins thin as can be, and still could be called Napkins! C'mon, Donut King! You could do a lot better than this! large Coffee (*** 1/2 $1.40) I conversed with Donut King's owner about the move that happened over a month ago... I guess the owner of the building that formerly housed Donut King, who perchance is also the owner of the whole Shopping Center, had tentative plans to convert the structure into ANOTHER Starbuck's! Believe it or not! I guess the downturn in the economy and Starbuck's corporate decision to shut down Starbuck's locations rather than to expand resulted in them backing out of deal altogether. The interior of Donut King is VERY SMALL... Donut King contains only a few tables - one of them a four person table and the others can only seat two people. Pretty nice furniture, though... circular pseudo Marble tops on Oriental-style table legs. Looks like they were bought at Pier 1 or a similar retailer. The previous complaints I had written about... the mixture of aromas from Coffee and Southeast Asian cuisine does not apply in this new location... the owner moved the Teriyaki preparation area to the back of the building. read more

Best old-fashioned and buttermilk bars I've ever had. When we lived in town, we'd go every Sunday. Now we pick them up for breakfast whenever we visit the 209. Excellent crunch and flavor in the old fashioned/buttermilk type of donut. read more

Donut King - Old fashioneds are where it's at. - Donuts Near Me - Stockton, California

This place ok, the doughnuts were pretty basic , I was expecting more selection. They had best of san Joaquin for 2016, so I guess I was expecting something really good. Their fridge was out , so no cold milk , that was a bummer. I will not be coming to this place again. There's really never a bad doughnut , but I have a major sweet tooth and these did not impress. read more

Came here early in the morning to get a dozen donuts. I loved how quick it was- I was in and out in 5 minutes. Everyone loved the donuts.

Love love love these donuts! I didn't even realize this place was here till I searched on yelp. I wanted to pickup some donuts (other then Krispy Kreme) for my tenants / customers and I decided to come here. Amazing service, fast, and the place was packed! The price is decent for the donuts. The donuts are fresh and taste better than a lot of these places around here. My tenants love them too! I will be returning! read more

The best donuts in town. They are nice and fluffy. Take a glazed or any donut and line them up with other shops, theirs will look the best.

This is my favorite donut shop. I go to other donut shops and I get frustrated when I don't get a King Donut. $11.00 for 1 dozen. Love the chocolate bar. read more

DONUT Updaaaaate! So I stopped by yesterday to pick up a dozen for friends before we headed out to East Bay. I was greeted by a friendly man who boxed them up for me, and was even thoughtful enough to put a stack of napkins inside. Regular donuts are $0.75 each or $6.95 a dozen. So just get a dozen because no one ever eats just one. I usually go for the cake donut with chocolate icing & peanuts cause it was my favorite as a little girl. Those are always fresh and sweet, but never too sweet. Hey, kinda like someone I know! Haha, anyway ;) Oh and lastly, but most importantly, Donut King has moved locations. They're no longer located in that big, sketchy blue building. They are now BEHIND the big, sketchy blue building in a brand new store. So the first two paragraphs of my original review now holds no validity, darn. But I scoped out the new menu and the Chicken Teriyaki bowls are still in full effect! read more

Has always been the best donut place in Stockton. The maple cream filled is bomb! Hate that they close early but still one of my favorites over any others. Been around for a long time and I see why. read more

I've been coming here for my donut kick, and I love it! My go-to selection of donuts are rainbow sprinkled chocolate, sugar, glazed, and a maple bar. I love the doughy taste of the maple bar, the donut is soft and fluffy and the maple glaze is not too sweet. The rainbow sprinkled chocolate is my favorite because it is dense, slightly crisp at the edges but still soft in the rest of the donut. I usually come by when I get off work in the morning, so everything is really fresh. I only wish they had maybe something a little more exciting like bacon slices on a couple maple bars (do they do that already? I haven't seen it)... or maybe even a CRONUT! Does anyone in Stockton make these??!! read more

Donut King - Half dozen: chocolate sprinkles, maple bar, sugar and plain glazed. So yummy! - Donuts Near Me - Stockton, California

While in town visiting family my wife and I got up early to get some Starbucks and decided to get donuts for the family. My sister in law told us there was only one place that made her favorite donut just the way she like it and this was the place. But my wife and I forgot the name of the place so we figured if it was as good a place as my sister in law said, it must have reviews, so we looked on Yelp and this place had good reviews, so we chanced this was the place, and it was! Whew! Unfortunately the "plain buttermilk donut" my sister in law wanted was so popular that they ran out at 7am on a Friday morning! So we got her a glazed, she like it-happy dance! :-) The bear claw donuts are HUGE! so are the Apple Fritters, they are as big as your face! LOL! The staff was very friendly and the shop and location very clean. They serve breakfast sandwiches too, We didn't have any bt they looked very good. We'll return here for donuts when in town, but we'll stick to our Starbucks for java! TC read more

I bought a half dozen doughnut & I'm happy that w/o asking the person behind the counter he put the donuts in the To-Go Pink Box. Other places will usually use a paper bag & your donuts inside it are all sticking together & smashed. This shop is small, eat in tables, clean, friendly owners & they serve fresh made donuts & affordable. The taste of their doughnut is very different from other shop. It's moisty soft & melt in your mouth. MY FAVORITE IS THE TWIST GLAZED donut & partner it up w/ some milk! The shop usually close early when their doughnuts are sold out. I WILL COME BACK every month. read more

Donut King - The twist glazed is the best! - Donuts Near Me - Stockton, California

Best donuts in Stockton! My favorite place to go to pick up fresh donuts. They are fluffy, tender and perfectly sweet! Would be splendid if they offered a wide variety of unique donuts. But overall they offer great service and delicious donuts. read more

Donut King - Assorted dozen - Donuts Near Me - Stockton, California

I rate donut shops based on their Old Fashion donuts (besides Krispy Kreme since they offer none). This place has some of the better ones I've had and the service is prompt and quick even tho they can get a good line going in the mornings. read more

Donut King - 02/05/16 - Donuts Near Me - Stockton, California

Come here and get the donut holes! They have glazed and crumb for 10 cents each. That's $1.20 for a dozen donut holes, and these little fluffy bites of wonder basically melt in your mouth. I also like the fact that while they are sweet, they are not completely drenched in glaze. Just enough to satisfy my sweet tooth. Regular donuts-wise, I've tried apple fritter, glazed, sprinkles, jelly-filled. Everything was good, but they tend to run out of things if you come in later during the day. Jelly-filled is one of my favorites, and usually by noon they are completely sold out of those, so minus one star for that. read more

Dry and old tasting I'm not sure if I came in on a bad day or if this is normal but haven't been back

Stopped by on the way to Sac since I was craving some donuts. Not bad!! I'm impressed even though we stopped by around 11:30 on a weekend so there wasn't much selection left. They still had my fav old fashioned though! Even the plain old fashioned was good. Super crunchy just the way I like it. $5.40 for a half dozen. Donut king, you da king! read more

Originally wanted to go to Happy Lemon but it turns out it was closed since I arrived too early. Since I was on a rush, I thought about getting some doughnut instead. For one dollar per doughnut I was definitely not disappointed :) read more

HOURS: Monday - Friday: Opens at 4 AM Weekends: Opens at 5 AM At midnight, ALL I could think about was donuts (and HOW I WAS STUPID ENOUGH TO NOT GET SOME ON NATIONAL DONUT DAY), but had NO idea what time it opened. Luckily I called at around 1 AM and they told me their hours and VOILA! I waited until 5 am to get me my fix. Now onto the goodies. To be honest, no, these are not the most amazing donuts I've ever had. They're pretty average, a little too sweet for my liking, and not as soft as I feel like they should be. Even though I went RIGHT at 5 am, they weren't even warm! They were room temperature. I guess spoiled old me is used to getting warm donuts earllyyy in the morning with a nice fluffy texture. But anyway, the selection here is pretty nice. From regular sugared circles, glazed twists and circles (for some reason I didn't see sugared twists), donut holes, Cinnamon rolls, Maple bars, Apple fritters (WHICH ARE FREAKIN' HUGE). REGULAR DONUT- $0.80 10 DONUT HOLES- $1 And a little more for the special ones. I got one regular twist and a cinnamon roll and paid about $2.55. Overall, decent place to go if you're craving donuts early in the morning. But be warned, their donuts can be a little too sweet (but not as sweet as Krispy Kreme...thank GOD) Owners are really nice too :) read more

My favorite place to get donuts in Stockton!!! I actually had them supply the donuts at my wedding and they were a hit amongst my family from New York. The best part about having them near is that I can experience a wonderful memory from my wedding whenever I want. read more

I've been coming here since I was a little girl. This place is amazing! We used to live by it and we would always go because the donuts are like no other. We moved all the way out by Old Morada and tried a new spot that was closer to us and it did not come close! This place has such good donuts we drove all the way from the other side of town. Till this day we still have a little drive but it's def worth is and the owners have always been dope! read more

Best donuts in town IMO. I graduated from a nearby high school in 1994 and have been frequenting this place a little before that. Whatever that recipe is they've got it down pat. The only thing I do miss though is the french crullers they used to sell. Those things were delicious. read more

This place makes amazing doughnuts. I don't mind driving a little further to come here for a sweet treat. The earlier you go the better the selection. Service has always been friendly and prices are pretty good. I paid around $10 for a dozen. read more

The only place to go for a donought in Stockton, CA. The coffee is fresh, too. Simple and delicious.

OK.... This is my favorite donut joint in town. Their apple fritter is a crunchy, sweet, fruity, dough filled carb-fest. I am in love with it. I'm sure they have other good donuts... oh and I think they serve teriyaki bowls too. read more

Some of the freshest doughnuts in town. Very nice selection and the coffee is great. If you get a chance have your doughnut and coffee there you will be entertained by the regulars daily conversation. It's amazing ear hustling some of Stockton's most colorful retirees. Give them a try read more

Best donuts in Stockton. Period. Low prices friendly owners work the whole day. The selection gets smaller as the day goes on.

It was my first time going today, and it is AWESOME. They have great donuts and a huge selection! They also have these HUGE butterfly donuts...I'm super happy I went and tried it. I'll come back whenever I have a donut craving. :) read more

I don't know if I came on an off day but it just wasn't good. I came around 11:00 AM and the store was completely empty. The lady working there was sweeping because there weren't any customers. Anyway, I got one dozen assorted and none of the donuts were good. Tasted a little dry and not as good as I hoped because of all the great reviews I've read. I will try them out again and hope that the donuts are better. read more

We ordered a half dozen donuts from this place last weekend. We got the jelly filled, plain glazed, twists and an add on of a chocolate custard-filled bar. I have to say, I appreciated that the custard and the jelly filled were not too sweet. But the donuts were kinda messy. The glaze is so thick that it flakes off and gets everywhere. The donuts themselves were fine but not as special as I remember from a previous visit here a while back. Better value than Krispy Kreme for sure and not as sugary sweet. We don't get donuts very often so when we do, I guess I expect to be thrilled. Not impressed much by this visit. But, the donuts were fine. No major problems, just nothing special. Sorry Donut King. We will probably try again some day and if it is better I will improve my review. But, in all honesty, just average donuts. read more

Best Donuts hands down. Best Plain cakes. Funny and Friendly customer services. I love going by this place and cracking a couple of jokes with the owners. A+ read more

I've been coming here since I was 5. I remember when they were at the front of the shopping center in the white and blue building. They have the best donuts in Stockton... believe me I love donuts and whenever I try any other donuts I'm like uhhh these are not good.. such a let down ... Staff is always friendly and quality always on point. ^_^ read more

It's becoming rarer and rarer that I can drive by a donut shop w/o feeling compelled to stop and sample something. Is that a problem??!! Anyway, this is a nice cafe with very friendly staff. I tried the old-fashion (kind of boring and dry) and cake with chocolate and coconut (moist and not too sweet). The selection was very, very limited (only 2 trays) when I came in, so I'm guessing this is more of a morning spot. read more

Still great! Named the 2016 best donut shop in the San Joaquin Valley! Congrats!
