    Yummy donuts!
    Louraine A.

    The breakfast sandwich and donuts are always fresh and delicious!! The staff are very friendly too! Place is clean and nice!

    Had a craving for custard filled donuts and this place definitely hit the spot! Love that this mom and pop shop is opened 24 hours a day, making fresh donuts at multiple points throughout. Great variety of donuts, especially my favorite custard filled (and it's generously filled) and also lemon filled. Great prices (with a cash discount), love the classic old school decor and vibes. Hope this small business continues to thrive for years to come.

    Only go to donut spot in San Jose area for me. Donuts are fluffy and soft in the inside. Taste is delicious. Not stale and not hard. 10/10 . Plus they are open 24/7!

    I was really looking forward to enjoying my apple fritter, but while I was eating it, I found this object baked inside. It appears to be some kind of hard fragment that bends slightly, possibly a piece of bone or another foreign object. Needless to say, I was shocked and disgusted. How does something like this end up inside an apple fritter? Finding a foreign object in food raises serious concerns about quality control and sanitation. Now I'm questioning how carefully all of the pastries and donuts are being prepared and handled. This completely ruined my experience, and I'm honestly very disappointed and disgusted af!!!

    The best donuts ever went to get a dozen last night at 2am just the best of the best the cashier was super chill and awesome with helping us

    Love that they open 24/7!! Have been a few times now and every time and at any hour I've been, the workers have been very nice and sweet. The donuts ofc are yummy. My partner who doesn't typically like cake donuts at all was surprised by how good these ones were because of the nice crunch all around. The little bell welcome and message has me dead every time though

    This is our go to spot for doughnuts. The lady and the man who are taking the orders are very friendly and always give a goodie extra when we buy a dozen doughnuts :) They also have coffee, sandwiches and smoothies. It's a cash only place but they have an ATM machine there too.

    After trying to find a donut shop after work for National Donut Day, I was ecstatic to see Happy Donut is open 24 hours. The woman working the counter was attentive and friendly, she was working on a few orders when I came in and communicated with me that she would help me soon. They had a large variety and I was super happy to get a blueberry donut because it's my favorite, but not all shops sell it. At check out, the woman threw in a couple donut holes for free of charge. Great spot to support local business and get a treat. Plus they have designated parking!

    This is a donut shot. The place look scrunch but the donut was goooood. Go try it if you haven't had the chance. Here is my scoring card for this restaurant: 1) Location: ( 5 Point ) - Great location for customer to see and find. Great parking for street parking and back side with parking lot parking. 2) Decoration : (2 Point) - They still have the original decoration. Clean. 3) Price: ( 4 point)- The price is competitive but still a little bit pricey compare to other same stars and type food they serve 4) Quality and Taste : ( 3 point)- The quality is ok, food taste is good and portions are average . 5) Type of cuisine standard : ( 4 point) - The style of American food they serve is pretty close to the way it was prepare in USA. Not bad! But some dishes did have slightly modify to cater the customer's need Overall it's not bad and I thinks it's great to give it a try and let me know what you think. Go foodies Total max is 25 Score 18 Stars = 72% round up to 3 stars

    I stopped by Happy Donut today--it's one of those old-school spots that feels like it's been around since the '80s, and honestly, it probably has. The place has that nostalgic charm, and the donuts? Surprisingly good. It's the kind of hidden gem that deserves way more love than it gets.

    My favorite coffee shop in San Jose. I look forward to going every time. All their drinks are…read moreexcellent. I started with the vanilla bean latte with oat milk. Good hot or iced. Occasionally burnt espresso but I love them too much to mind. I am a matcha snob to say the LEAST. Hands down best coffee shop matcha in the Bay Area. The classic iced matcha latte with honey is grassy and earthy and creamy and a little sweet. The iced banana pudding matcha latte had people lined up around the corner for months when it came out. It is deliciously worth the wait. Best banana cold foam in my opinion because it's made with actual bananas instead of flavoring so it's much more mellow. The double matcha they had for awhile is also awesome. Banana cold foam also goes great on an espresso latte. Now they let you add whichever cold foam you like to whatever drink which is great. Basically you can't go wrong. They are always changing up the menu for the new season and have lots of unique drinks on their menu. Not much seating inside at this location. The winchester Blvd one has more if that's what you're looking for. Their pastries are also all yummy and they sell their matcha powder for $60 for 100g which is a GREAT price for a great matcha. I would've gate kept this place but everyone already knows about it so I HAVE to show them the love they deserve!!

    A message to management…read more Love the place, but for the love of God Please fix the cup TOPS for the hot drinks Every time I go to take a sip I end up getting stains on my shirt because the hot liquid leaks from underneath the tops onto my shirt for the hot drinks. This has been a known ongoing issue for a number of years and has never been addressed Please, for the love of God get better tops that don't leak. The place doesn't need another remodel it needs better tops that actually work. It's not hard. Just find a better supplier that has cup tops that actually work. I don't like using straws because it backwashes the drink. And I don't like cleaning stains off of my shirts every single time I go to get a coffee from academic. So please for the love of God fix the ongoing KNOWN top leaking issue... And if management actually gives a crap and it gets resolved, fingers crossed, I'll update my review.

Lots of drink options here. Competition with Izumi Matcha. I'm going to be honest, I originally wanted Izumi Matcha but it was closed yesterday. I went here as a backup choice.

In this case, one of these spots is Arisan. Since Matcha has exploded in popularity to my annoyance, (I say this because I was into Matcha before it started trending), I had to try. Once inside, everything looks aesthetically pleasing with seating on either side up against the walls. The layout is clean and non cluttered which I can appreciate from a design standpoint. The menu is clearly displayed on the countertop and it's nice to see that you still have an actual person to take your order. No iPad ordering here. Please keep it that way! I also loved the high ceilings and bright light from the floor to ceiling windows in the front. As you look to the right, you can also see all the Arisan branded products including canvas tote bags and loose leaf tea canisters lining the wall shelves. Nice touch. Now let's get to the good stuff. They specifically told me about one drink that was so unique and refreshing. Which drink was it? **Matcha Cloud Coconut Water $8.95- 100% fresh young coconut water + Matcha cream: This drink was so unique because the coconut water was so distinct and refreshing. The Matcha cream sat on top before slowly trickling down to mix in with the coconut water. I would have never thought to put these 2 flavors together. It was delicious especially on a day where it was 97 degrees here in SJ.

The strawberry matcha einspänner was beautifully presented, with strawberry jam at the bottom and a thick layer of strawberry foam on top. Unfortunately, the flavor and texture did not quite live up to the presentation. Even after mixing it thoroughly, the matcha tasted thin and was overpowered by an overly sweet, artificial strawberry flavor. It may be a fun choice for someone looking for a cute, sweet drink to photograph, but serious matcha lovers may find it underwhelming. The honey matcha was an even bigger miss for us. That said, they offer several unique drinks, including pennywort-based options, that I have not seen elsewhere and may be worth trying instead. Overall, the space and presentation were lovely, but the matcha itself fell short of expectations.
