Where else can you get quality donuts at 11 PM in Cupertino? Walking into Donut Wheel felt like stepping into donut heaven. The smell of freshly made donuts was irresistible, and the display was packed with tempting treats. We picked up four specialty donuts, but it was seriously hard not to leave with a full dozen. Every bite was worth it, and the fact that they're open 24/7 is a huge bonus. Thank you, Donut Wheel, for being a reliable late-night spot for donut lovers. I'll definitely be back! read more

Best in the Bay! Minh is super courteous and friendly. Fresh baked roasted be the clock

I have to be careful here. As a T2 diabetic this place is love/hate for me. I avoided it for years, thinking that it is better that I don't know what goes on behind the front door, in order to avoid any future cravings that my pancreas can't handle. Well last week I needed something to stave off some recent family stress and slow myself down with a treat. We were in the neighborhood of this well-known gem and decided to stop in for "a" donut. Welcoming and friendly, large inside with endless racks of the most delicious-looking donuts. Once you see how big and tall and delicious these donuts are you will be so happy you stopped! So many variations to try! From glazed and covered with cereals like pebbles and fruit loops, to my favorite the boston creme pie (chocolate topped and filled with the most smooth, creamy and comforting custard) this place is amazing! I just immediately felt happier that I was taking time out to treat myself and turns out donuts ARE self-care for me! We tried a few over the next few days because we got 6 for the two of us. Uh oh yes I gained a few pounds because of it but I'll burn it off next week. Maybe. Who cares, it was absolutely worth it! Tried the boston cream, an old fashioned glazed (thick cakey goodness and glaze could be sweeter IMHO,) some nutty covered glazed one wife enjoyed, simple round and sugared ones filled with custard and one with lemon which was impressive- not too fake lemony sweet and just light as can be for a jelly, with a very true-to-fresh lemon taste. It was the simple yet different Creme Brûlée donut that left both of us in awe. We split this one and both agreed we'd go back and get 6 of just these next time! It was so impressive! I've never had a donut with that crispy of a shellac on the outside. It truly was crunchy and sweet just like the hard topping of a creme brûlée, in every bite! Then the filling...hands to the sky, that filling was divine! Different than the custard, it tasted like "baked in the oven in a bain marie" creme brûlée and had a texture that was thick and creamy. After 3 days, we are still thinking of that donut. This place is truly special. Be sure to stop in and you won't be disappointed! read more

This is to update our review for Donut wheel. Over the years the staff have changed and the woman who works there currently was extremely rude beyond belief. Upon checking out, she mentioned to me that I needed to get more to get a discount. I asked her how that works, because I'd have to spend more on original donuts that I really didn't need/want and the price would go up significantly. Didn't seem like a "great deal". She rolled her eyes and mentioned briefly in a dismissive tone "Just get three more!" without explaining how it works. "Just get three more for this price." And as I was trying to decided, she loudly sighed and slid my box down the counter and wrapped it up and slapped the bag on top and proceed to work. Maybe she was in a bad mood? But I will not go back and I informed everyone in the community to be aware and take the business elsewhere. read more

Looking for a 24-hour donut shop? Donut Wheel is the place for you. This isn't just a donut shop--it's a slice of Americana glazed in nostalgia and fried to golden perfection. If you haven't watched The Donut King documentary on Hulu, do yourself a favor and hit play. Uncle Ted would be gleaming if he saw these classic glazes and maple bars still holding it down. From the outside, Donut Wheel won't wow you. It's not trying to. It's the anti-Instagram donut shop--zero neon signs, no flower wall, and definitely no overpriced matcha-lavender-brioche croissant hybrids. What you get instead is pure tradition: unapologetic, sugary, and proudly unfussy. Shout out to the overworked, under-caffeinated uncle behind the counter--stoic, grumpy, and probably running on two hours of sleep and a lifetime of hustle. As a fellow Cambodian, I've had a few warm conversations with the owners, but don't expect any special treatment. Respectfully, Uncle's been through it. He's got that "I've been up since 3 a.m." energy, and honestly? The man earns it. The donuts speak for themselves. That cakey old-fashioned? Perfectly crisp on the edges with a rich, dense bite. The maple bar? Classic. The blueberry twist? A sleeper hit--packed with actual fruit and not just artificial blue sugar. Donut Wheel is a rite of passage for De Anza alumni and a standing monument to the American immigrant dream: grind hard, feed the people, and keep the family business alive. Sure, the interior could pass for a run-down public library--fluorescent lighting and all. But if you're coming here for the vibes, you've already made a wrong turn. Come for the bear claws. Stay for the donuts served with just enough stank attitude to remind you they don't need your approval. Highlights: classic glaze, old-fashioned, bear claw, maple bar, blueberry twist. A dozen might make you briefly question your grocery budget (thanks inflation), but if you're trying to flex just a little at work, grab a half dozen. It's the perfect "I like you--but not like like you" gesture. With a subtle side-eye. Yes, some say the quality dipped a bit after new management stepped in around 2022/23 post-pandemic. Prices crept up too. Blame the economy--or blame Trump if you're feeling bold. Either way, Donut Wheel is still as American as Uncle Ted and apple pie read more

Vegan donuts! I came in pretty late in the day but there were still vegan donuts available. I got the classic glazed and chocolate. 10/10

Friend dropped off an Apple fritter for us to try. We had heard that they were amazing. I tried it. It was crunchy on some edges. Taste wise was ok. I prefer the ones from Safeway. read more

My favorite donut place that's open 24/7!!! My dad has been going here for forever and he always would take us when we were younger. The French donuts are so good!! They're so light and airy which is the best kind. I also loved their matcha donut the last time I went but since they're in the "speciality" category, it's definitely more expensive. Service is great and he even gave us 2 free donuts! This place will forever be my go-to donut place if I can make it to Cupertino! read more

Donut Wheel - Pistachio ube donut - Donuts Near Me - Cupertino, California

Good selection of various flavored donuts, including crullers, cronuts, and donut holes. As one of the only (if not only) stores open 24 hrs in Cupertino, this hits the spot late at night. Donuts are priced very reasonably (especially considering inflation). The workers here are friendly and seem to be having a good time even as we came in at midnight. For a late night donut session, the vibes here are great. It really feels like the perfect local stop for a midnight snack. read more

We stayed at Aloft right across the street and our room looked right over at Donut Wheel. I wanted to try it from the 1st day I saw it, but we ended up going on our last day. As soon as I walked in, I was overwhelmed with the amount of donuts that they have! I wanted 1 of everything!! We decided to get the maple bacon, Oreo, cinnamon roll, sprinkled and regular glazed. All were good, but I've had better maple bacon ones. Price point was reasonable, especially for the cinnamon roll which was HUGE. read more

I had a random craving for a maple bacon donut that lasted about 4 days. I finally caved and decided to find one. I had never been here before but I would always drive by. The person working was friendly and helpful. The donuts themselves were a bit underwhelming, but they weren't bad. They just didn't taste that fresh. I also got an apple fritter which I enjoyed. read more

Amazing and fresh donuts. So many choices, between your classic glazed and old fashion to premium choices with funky toppings. The shop has trays of any type of donut you would want and it's hard to pick. I got a variety and they're all really good. The cronut was really good but you can't go wrong with your choice. Only downside is the prices are a bit higher than what you could probably get somewhere else but I'm very satisfied with what I got. read more

Came here looking for vegan donuts as my family can't have dairy right now. Rainbow sprinkles on white frosting was delicious. Matcha with pistachio as well. A little pricey at $4.50 each but worth the premium. read more

The food didn't taste very fresh and felt quite heavy. It was overly oily and much sweeter than expected, which made it hard to enjoy. On top of that, there's no air conditioning inside, so the overall dining experience felt uncomfortable. read more

Tried a range of donuts from this place! I would say some flavors are better than others. I loved their maple bacon and Oreo donut, but was surprisingly disappointed with their ube and red velvet. It was too sweet and very thick and heavy. I had no problems with parking or service. read more

It's a thing in our household with Donut Wheel. We cannot drive by without stopping. My daughters love donuts. Donut Wheel is the favorite! The donuts are fresh and delicious. We enjoy the glazed and traditional cake donuts but honestly there isn't a donut we do not like at this shop. They have been around for years and have perfected the donuts. You should try the donut croissant! They call them cronuts. I agree with some of the other reviews that say we hope this place never goes away! read more

Stopped here this morning since I was in the area. I got a half dozen doughnuts. since when did the price of donuts go through the roof? I did order two custard fill donuts that the guy said wasn't at the 1/2 dozen price and I said that's fine. The cost was $19 for 6 donuts. To be fair the donuts were good but nothing to write home about, and certainly not worth the $19 price tag. read more

Fantastic donuts...absolutely rude service staff. They'll not get my business again...not that they'll care much.

Of all the years I lived in Cupertino, I only recently tried donut wheel. It is your typical donut shop but I was surprised to find some interesting flavored donuts like pistachio and ube. I also ordered an old fashioned as that is usually my favorite. Of the pistachio, ube, and old fashioned, pistachio ended up being my favorite and old fashioned least favorite. The pistachio flavors were distinct while not overwhelming and the donut was nice and fluffy. For me, the old fashioned was overly glazed and way too sweet. read more

The raspberry filling tasted like cleaning chemicals. Not quite sure why or how. Mouth and stomach felt weird after the first bite as if my body was letting me know that something wasn't quite right with the filling. Hints of perfume and a weird after taste like someone sprayed perfume in my mouth. Do they mix the filling with essential oils? Something is certainly off with their filling. I called and the guy said he sold many that morning with no complaints. I don't really know what to think. I've had their donuts before, but it just tasted really off and unpleasant this morning. I asked my wife to try it and she had the same reaction. read more

Used to love coming here-- there was a woman named Patricia and she was amazing. We asked where she was, and the guy at the front said she quit. They must have changed ownership or management. We hadn't been here for awhile, and we couldnt figure out what was different until later. The signs in the back are new and the layout is a bit different. Prices of the donuts are also more. It was visually appealing to see the cases full of donuts, but when we got rung up it was almost $18 for 5 large donuts and a mini donut. Donuts have gone higher in price. We used to get a lot of freebie donut holes or even a large one. No more freebies this time. We asked for a sample (it looked like they had some bite-sized samples, so I asked for one) the guy said okay-- but he actually charged me for a large one and we didn't realize it until we got home. So double check your order before you go. We came here after 10pm on a Thurs and there was a line of at least 6 people waiting. Not all change is good, sadly we probably won't be back unless there was nothing else open and we want a sweet snack. read more

So good! I've gotten so many donuts from here including the cronuts and the chocolate old-fashioned and they all taste amazing. It is really nice to have a place in the area that's open 24/7 since everything else closes early. The people working here clearly care a lot about the quality of donuts and always have a huge selection available no matter what time it is. read more

Donuts are good but wayyy too expensive for what you get. I'd really only go for 1 donut on a late night if I was REALLY craving some.

I've been here twice--the convenience is not worth the terrible service. Pros: Open 24 hours, near the freeway, good range of donut types and flavors (including vegan and s'mores) Cons: Really BAD service! The first time I went in on a Sunday morning, I called ahead to order 3 dozen donut holes. When I arrived, not only did they serve the person who entered the shop after me before serving me, my order wasn't ready because they said that they forgot, followed by a chuckle. I had somewhere to get to, which is why I ordered ahead. The second time I went in on a weeknight, the staff misunderstood the donut we ordered, argued with us about the miscommunication, and tried to make us purchase it! He finally took it out of our box with a click of his tongue and an eye roll. He's lucky we didn't change on our mind on the rest of the order and just walked out. When we went home and finally tried our donuts, we decided that they weren't good enough to put up with the service, especially since there are plenty of other donut shops in the area. Try at your own risk. We shall not be returning. read more

So i still love this place forsure without a doubt except for this very moment BUT when i say i'm sooo pissed homegirl gave me my creme brulee donut, only when i got home and did the foodie split down the middle and bit it, she did not put custard in there. Dawg. i just have a dry donut with the hard sugar on top she did me dirty read more

Noelle's Yelp Notebook 2022 The pandemic chronicles April 2022 Donut Wheel is beloved by the locals in Cupertino. This is one of the few places I've been going to forever with family and friends but somehow forgot to write a Yelp review. Recently, I went to Kee Wah Bakery on a Tuesday - forgetting they are closed on Monday and Tuesday. What's a homemaker to do? My husband and son were counting on snacks for the afternoon. Not sure what to do I started driving home thinking of where to pick up snacks. It was mid morning. Then I saw Donut Wheel!!! I pulled into the back parking lot and made my way inside the shop. It was empty mid morning on a Tuesday. Memories of coming here with my family, my friends and even that one boyfriend of mine that was an Apple Engineer (he was on the team the created one of the first MacBooks). I was wearing my mask. There was a big empty space in the middle where tables and chairs used to be. There is no indoor dining here during the pandemic. There is a large plastic partition where you pay. The customer service was friendly. Picked up a few donuts: Oreo, Maple with vanilla custard, vanilla donut holes, raspberry donut holes and a crumb donut. In the afternoon my family and I had the donuts. They were fresh, delicious and not overly sweet. If you're looking for a delicious donut - look no further than Donut Wheel! Unlike most places this spot is open 24/7 ((YAY))! Noelle's Notes One of my favorite donut shops in the Bay Area. read more

Used to be a great place to get inexpensive donuts.. but under new management they have changed and are charging ridiculous prices - $5 for a single donut! I avoid and go to Manleys just a little further north. read more

Open 24 hours and serves up fresh doughnuts all day and night - this place is the perfect spot to celebrate National Doughnut Day when you've spent all day forgetting that it was National Doughnut Day. The doughnuts are good and I have such a great appreciation for the variety that they continue to carry, no matter what time of day. Lemon-filled, old fashion, apple fritter - all tasty. There was a line at 11 PM - that's a good sign, right??? read more

I had been wanting to go here for a while since they are open 24/7. And I finally was able to get my chance on Saturday. My mom wanted a donut too, so it was perfect. I went there expecting to see a place like Dunkin' Donuts. But was surprised to see it like an old fashioned donut shop from when I was a kid. When I walked in they had so many different choices of do its to choose from. I ordered the Apple Fritter, Old Fashoned with Chocolate Frosting, and a long Custard filled with Chocolate Frosting. They filled the long one right then and there for me. And I also ordered a mixed berry smoothie. The two people that were working that day were very nice, respectful, and had great customer service manners. Once I payed for everything which was $21.00 and some change I left and went to my car. I opened up the bag and was surprised at how big the donuts were. I was expecting them to look like commercial donut store donuts. But nope. They were pretty big. Reminded me of how big donuts looked like to me as a little kid. But they were very tasty. I started with the old fashioned with chocolate frosting. It was just how I remembered it would taste. And it was pretty big. Then I started on the apple fritter. And oh my gosh!!! That was also how I expected it to taste. It had a slight crunch on the outside, and soft on the inside with lots of apples and cinnamon. YUMMMY!!! I was not able to finish it so I put it away for the next day. When I gave my mom her donut the lo g one with custard inside and chocolate frosting on the top. We were both surprised at how long and fat it was. She thought she was only going to eat a 1/3 of the donut, but nope. She said it was so delicious that she eventually are the whole thing. I highly recommend this place for their donuts and wide selection of donuts. I will say this. I was not impressed with their mixed berry smoothie though. I finished it. But I will not be getting another smoothie from them. But I highly recommend this place for how tasty their donuts are, the selection and size of their donuts. I'm going to be a repeat customer from now on. No more commercial donut stores ever again. Thank you. read more

Almost 24.75 bucks for 6 donuts? This is gourmet prices for a donut shop thats open 24/7 . They weren't gourmet doughnuts I can tell you that much. They tasted okay but I rather have spent the money on Stans. read more

I drove nearby lots of times but I didn't realize this donut shop was open. Finally I dropped by and gave it a try. It was a little dark inside and I think that the eat-in area was closed. But they were making lots of donuts! So many choices. I really enjoyed just watching. I picked Match green tea, S'mores and French cruller. They were all warm, soft, not too dense, I loved them. The staff was kind and answered my questions. I forgot to get an old fashioned donut. I will get one next time and update the review. read more

I used to come here when I was young and during college (close to de Anza college) but just tried it again recently. The plus side. They are open in the evening and late hours so if you need a donut when other shops are closed then this spot is open. The donut taste has gone down, and the prices went up. I believe a full dozen was 19.99 which was a bit outrageous so I got only half a dozen. Probably will skip this spot and try a diff donut shop instead in the morning time read more

I admit that I have only tried one type of donut from this 24/7 godsend of a place but boy is it worth it when I have that donut craving. For the Donut Holes they advertise that they only do custard/raspberry fillings. But ask them to fill them with Nutella and get ready to be taken to nirvana. These donut holes are THICCCC. They are basically large baseballs filled with Nutella-goodness. Super simple and delicious, these are a must get! SPREAD THE WORD. NUTELLA DONUT HOLES. Each one costs around $1.50/$1.75 but believe me they are well worth it and huge! I can only eat 1 per sitting and I'm knocked out (in a good way). read more

Wow. First time here and it was life changing. I thought I had a favorite donut place in the south bay, but this place has replaced that, no competition. I feel like a good donut shop should be able to make the basic donut well. Got a half dozen glazed and chocolate glazed ($11) and they were still warm. Fluffy, pillowy and not overly sweet. You could see the bakers making the donuts by hand in the back. Service was friendly and quick. The bakery case barely had any donuts at 10pm, but you could see them cranking out so much more in the back. Open 24hrs, I could see why. There won't be any day old donuts here. I wish I lived closer, but am glad I don't. I'd be coming here everyday if I did. If you haven't tried the donuts here, go, like now. I will be back for sure. It's better than any other "famous" place and no lines out the door. read more

Friendly service, great donuts. Picked up a box, paid with apple pay and was off to work. Coworkers loved them.

I came a bit past midnight and the strangest thing happened.. a herd of high school boys were in there and they each stared me down.. LOL anyway. There was a huge huge selection of donuts even at midnight and they were actively making more. Got the filled donut holes with custard, lemon, and raspberry. $1.50 each. Raspberry was the best for sure, but I think there was a bit too much filling for my own taste. I know this is a basic donut shop, but the custard and lemon fillings tasted a little too fake for me. read more
