Awesome donuts it was the first one I had and probably almost 10 years I loved it so much. I went back the next day for another one. They don't have a place to sit inside or outside for that matter and that would make it perfect. read more

Great donuts , pastries, and more served up in a friendly atmosphere. Try the breakfast bagels and croissants for a savory treat. read more

Golden Creme Donuts - Donuts Near Me - Novato, California

Their sign says open at 5am. I went promptly and waited 5 minutes and called but no one was inside the shop. There were already a bunch of donuts in the case but no one was there! Probably will have better luck at their sister shop in San Rafael. read more

This was a yummy donut shop. Has the basic staples of a coffee/ donut shop. I give it 4 stars because it's Cash Only. But they did have an ATM in the store, so at least that was convenient. read more

I've been buying donuts from Andrew for 20 years. They've always been fresh and tasty, just what a donut should be. He and his lovely wife are great people who work hard to make their business a success. My daughter wanted a donut wall with custom donuts for her wedding dessert table. Apparently it's a hip thing to have nowadays. Andrew made us 4 dozen gorgeous, custom decorated, color coordinated donuts at an extremely reasonable price. The donuts disappeared faster than the wedding cake; so fast that even I didn't get one. Thank you Andrew for being part of making my daughter's wedding a success! read more

Golden Creme Donuts - Donuts Near Me - Novato, California

Sigh.... still searching for a good donut shop in Marin County and this is not the place... located in a small older shopping center that has seen better days. I was hoping this one was better but it was just okay nothing to get mouth watering excited for! We got the sugar, glazed, plain cake and the glazed buttermilk donuts. The only one that was decent was the glazed donut. The rest I took one bite and threw it away. Why can't donut shops change their dough recipes according to the different donuts.?Meaning, the plain case should have cinnamon or a different taste from the glaze donut. There different types of donuts they shouldn't taste like the sugar donut or the glazed buttermilk donut, etc.. So, I suggest just getting the glazed donut here and move on... nothing to see here! The search continues for a decent donut place close by... read more

The doughnuts didn't have much flavor. I'll likely not go back. The inside tables and atmosphere wasn't impressive. read more

See all

I've been a customer of Andrews since 91. Donuts have always been top notch as well as any of the other food items and coffee. He and his wife are wonderful people, go and get some breakfast treats there! read more

The food is great but the service is terrible always rude no matter what day. The lady seems annoyed and that isn't quite pleasurable to come to. read more

Tasty, affordable donuts and nice staff in a no-frills space - exactly how I like my donut shops. They always toss a couple extra in the bag, too. Glad to see them still in business during Covid times! read more

I'm going to keep this review short and sweet. The owner is always chipper and a delight that will brighten your day even if it hasn't started off right. On top of the great customer service, these are some of the best damn donuts I've ever had and they're still very reasonably priced despite the Marin location. If you want a wide variety of amazing sweet pastries, come here. You will not be sorry. read more

Donuts are good and quality. Not the absolute best I've ever had, but worth going back for. Their cinnamon crumb raised donut is where it's at. Breakfast sandwiches are very good and made to order. And everything is very affordable, a great deal. Overall I definitely recommend for a local donut shop. read more

The donuts were great!!! the guy who was working there was so nice I couldn't imagine him being so nice during Covid because he must be hit hard by this disease. read more

Best donuts. Period. Updating my review because is seriously doesn't get better than this. Great donuts for cheap prices. Coffee is a but watery but oh well. read more

Now we came here with high hopes since it is hard to find a good donut shop around here. We always by a glazed, sugar and old fashion donut to compare it. The glazed is always better because it keeps the moisture in the donut. This one was actually pretty good, the sugar one and the old fashion donut are just average, nothing really impressive. So we will keep searching for a good donut place, this one is just average! read more

Ok, ok! So this WAS the same day that I had the pecan bar and the cranberry oat flapjack - who's counting?? So judgy. On 101 upon having officially left my Love - The City, I wanted a doughnut. I needed an apple fritter. Could I get to Sonoma in time to visit my favorite shop? Nay, nay I say, I could not! What would serve as my doughnut on the go? Where could I turn?? A light went off and I remembered the doughnut place from ages ago when I worked off of Ignacio. Surprising clientele, I must say - that corner off of the overpass is like a magnet for the businessmen. Especially if I have my clear pumps on. Uh! God, you KNOW I'm kidding, right?? I put the pedal to the metal and shimmied on in. No Apple Fritters, but I was not to be deterred. My backup, the buttermilk bar, was gleaming in the case, a little darker than the others and just waiting for Grace. I pointed to my baby, snatched it up when the nice Girl passed it over and ran to my car. One must always eat such things hurriedly. In the car. I didn't reach excstacy with this treat, but it was a darn fine effort. Outer was crunchy - definite points for that, but inner was dry and a threatened heartburn. Such a mean thing to do. In a pinch, and doughnut pinches DO come up Little Miss Hoity-Toity, they will deliver. read more

This is my favorite donut shop ever. I have been buying donuts here for about 16 years and have never been disappointed. I take them to work with me and everyone always asks where to find the donut shop they love them so much. Andrew the owner is always friendly. My favorite donuts are the raised donuts with sugar and the plain old fashion. I go in early morning and it is always full of people and well stocked. If I moved away, this donut shop would be one of the things I would miss the most. read more

Every Thursday, my family and I (and now my entire company!) enjoy "cheater day." We start this off-the-diet-plan day with a healthy (unhealthy?) selection of delicious fresh donuts and more from Golden Cream Donuts No. 2. They have the usual range of cake donuts, glazed/unglazed/sprinkles, etc - and then they have some really awesome ones. One which is an automatic purchase every time I come is the apple fritter. This thing is not only huge but it's awesome sweet so you just have to share it. Which makes sense because you'll want to have room left for their chocolate chip covered and filled donut. Oh Mmmmmmmm Gee! Donut holes, maple bars, cream bars, it just goes on and on. One of the other automatic purchases is their ham and cheese croissant - fresh, warm and just yummy. They have a nice selection of coffees and other goodies too but I just come here for the donuts. The service is very friendly and even when there's a line, you won't wait for more than a couple of minutes so if you're in a hurry on your way to the office (like me) you're safe to stop here. If you live south of Novato, I can also recommend their sister location on Lincoln Avenue in downtown San Rafael but they tend to run out of selection much earlier. read more

Great donuts! Really fresh, great varity. French donus made only Fri and Sat. Great old fashioneds, buttermilk, eclairs, apple fritters. Can not recommend highly enough. read more

Got a chocolate cake donut with chocolate frosting to share, which was solid metaphorically, but perfectly soft literally! :p Tasted faintly of fruit, in a nice way. If I weren't on a sugar fast, I'd come back for more. read more

I was despairing of life before I met this donut. My car had broken down in this strange city. Everything seemed to be going wrong. Walking from my hotel and seeking food I discovered this place by accident. It is possible that my car broke down just so I could experience this moment. I imagine that if I could take a bite of heaven, it would taste something like this. The donut was soft with a lightly flaky crust and covered in a rich maple cream. Words fail me in describing the feelings of ecstasy that this donut produced in my soul. Go here! Go now! Get in your cars, by a plane ticket, pirate a boat, whatever you need to do. Be here. read more

Great place for the Sunday morning donut run, everytime I'm in the shop the guy behind the counter is friendly and there's a regular or two hanging around. Oh, and the donuts are tasty and the coffee's good too. read more

Came in on Hey Saturday to order a few dozen donuts. And they had no donuts at all. What kind of donut shop doesn't have any donuts?

It was the best donut store before few years. But now I was there for a lot of times during morning and they have only few things to choose. Very often they don't have our favourites. I don't know if 9-10am is too late but before few years afternoon was better than morning now. read more

Just discovered this little shop. #delicious. Donuts are fresh, priced reasonably and taste amazing. Worth the calories!

Good as donuts get. $13 for a dozen donuts and 2 milks. Good luck finding better in this area.

Best donut and coffee shop ever! Friendly hometown atmosphere, fresh donuts and coffee, even ice cream and smoothies!

Well priced. Friendly staff. Fresh donuts. What's more to ask? Coffee is pretty good too!

Made a last minute ditch effort to find a donut shop on my way to work, stumbled upon this one and loved it. It's not apart of our weekend routine at our store! read more

A great start to a great day when you are first greeted and served by delightful people. Enjoyed the donuts. Not as good as you find on the east coast but maybe that's why the people in Cali are generally in better shape. Next time I will get there earlier in the morning for a greater selection. read more
