I thought I knew what a good donut tasted like and now I'm ruined after just a simple raised donut hole. Guess I won't eat donuts anymore unless I'm visiting Burlingame. Blessing and a curse I suppose. read more

I randomly looked for some pastry shops on Yelp and happened to find this place! I'm super glad it came up bc it was so good!! I have always been on a hunt for a good cronut. I tried the original at Dominique Ansels in NYC but that cronut was just sooooo dense and heavy. The cronuts here at happy donut are WAY better. They're not as heavy so you don't feel as guilty eating them and they don't weigh you down. We tried the glaze and maple. I would say the glaze was better. The maple was good but since the maple was only on the top, the bottom half of the cronut was a little boring. We also tried the cinnamon twist and reg glaze donut. I wasn't super impressed with the regular glaze. If you're looking for an excellent glaze donut, you should try stan's in Santa Clara! But the cinnamon twist here was rly good! I was overall super pleased with my snacks today! read more

LOVE the Cronut holes. Prefer Cronut holes over the Cronut. I think it's because there's more surface area for the sugary glaze. 0.55 per piece. Their regular donuts are super soft. Staff is friendly. Parking isn't an issue. Next to little luccas and tiger tea boba. read more

Love their ham and egg croissant and the cinnamon twist! Yummy!! Don't forget to leave a tip!!

Solid cronut holes! My only gripe was that some came as broken pieces but still good nonetheless. Best to bring cash unless you buy more than $10 worth of donuts. read more

Hands down, my favorite traditional donut shop in the Bay Area. I consider myself to be a donut connoisseur and their Old Fashion Glazed Donuts are out of this world. Not only are they generously sized, but they have the perfect amount of crispy edge, which is balanced by the moist cake center. Their chocolate cake donuts and cronuts are very good, and they also make heart-shaped donuts. I was avoiding donuts until after my wedding, and literally the morning after, I ordered 3 dozen donuts for my wedding brunch to build a donut tower. A must-visit if you're in the area. read more

Happy Donuts - Post wedding donut tower featuring Happy Donuts! - Donuts Near Me - Burlingame, California

I absolutely love this place! My friend and I heard good things but have never tried it. So we decided to make the drive. It is located in a plaza next to Little Lucca, with plenty of parking. There was a line with 4 people ahead of us when we go there, but it went by quickly. We weren't sure what was good to we picked a variety, cronuts with glaze and chocolate, some with jelly and custard filling. It was about $3/pc. When we got to the car, my friend and I quickly dived into the box. I picked the cronut with custard filling and she got the glazed. It was so good! The cronut is so flaky and the custard had the perfect sweetness. Will definitely be back! My only regret was not getting coffee to go with it! read more

the cronuts!!!!! i love them so much. All of the flavors are so good. They're so flakey and have a nice crispy outside. If you order under $10, they will charge you a card fee. They also have heart shaped donuts, which are super cute and yummy. I wish the heart shaped ones had like cream filling but they're still tasty! read more

Cronut holes HANDS down the BEST! No joke, no lie, I haven't had anything better or similar. The flakiness and sweetness really hits the spot when you want a donut or a pastry! I've had the custard fill cronut holes and they were good too, but prefer the plain ones. If you're in the neighborhood, you gotta try it! This is a SUPER hidden gem!! read more

I bought 2 boxes, 6 each of custard filled cronuts for C'mas drop offs to friends. The doughnut & croissant holes are so yummy! My mom's favorite! The box was pink stripped & adorable. No more hazelnut coffee avail in the aftn. So I got Vietnamese coffee. My bagel sandwich given to me was not what I ordered but it was fresh & warm. The lady was a bit cranky servicing me the last time there. I go regularly when I'm in the area. It's a to go place... read more

AMAZING DONUTS. Seriously there's nothing to say except that. Get the cronuts with custard filling it's the best!!

Some of the best doughnuts around. We've never had a visit with old oil doughnuts no matter what time of the day we went. We've been disappointed at many popular doughnut places when we got doughnuts at the oil's end of life. My favorite are the maple bars and the mini apple fritters but everything is good. read more

Happy donuts is the spot for delicious donuts and my favorite item their Cronut holes. The owners here are so polite and nice which is why I'll always go out of my way to come out here. The customer service is always on point. Their bagels are also really good. I had a jalapeño bagel with sausage, egg and cheese. That bagel was fire. Their hot chocolate was good as well. Looking forward to trying more items on their menu read more

This is by far one of my favorite donut shop in the bay !! If it's next to my house, I would have gone everyday I especially love their cream filled cronuts !! Sooooo good !!

A great donut shop in the area owned by the nicest family. We stop by every Saturday for their cronut holes. They make some great bagels too. read more

Bomb breakfast sandwiches. Cronut holes. Donut holes filled with cream or jelly. My oldest loved the breakfast sandwich Bagel with bacon egg and cheese. Jelly filled hole we give it a thumbs up as it had perfect jelly to donut ratio. Easy parking and nice people. read more

Two words: cronut holes Tried the cinnamon twist and OG glazed; they were alright but the cronut holes though.....If you don't want to spend a pretty penny, donut-prices-wise, on one cronut, which they also have here, just get a bunch of cronut holes instead. I'd say they still get the job done. Hard to eat just one...or two...or three..... Love the lady here; super cheery. Went on a Sunday morning and seems like this place is a hot spot for people to buy bulk orders of donuts for church. The cases were still pretty full even with that in mind. Small shop, there were a couple of small tables inside. Super easy lot parking. read more

I have been coming here for YEARS, and after I did a clinical rotation just steps away, the older gentleman who was always here came to know me by face and would always throw in some extra cronut holes with my order. The cronut holes are my go-to here - and you can get them filled with custard OR raspberry jam. While the donuts are always fresh, I was disappointed in the service when I came by today to grab three dozen cronut holes on my way to work. Through some misunderstanding the woman working the counter thought I ordered regular donut holes. Because I'M a regular, I questioned how fast she got my order ready because I know they usually don't add filling to the cronut holes until you order...and lo and behold she thought I wanted regular donut holes. Instead of try to fix this, which you think would be easy enough since my order was boxed and I had not touched anything, the woman continued to insist that I said I asked for donut holes when I knew I had come for cronut holes. To avoid any drama I ended up buying an extra TWO DOZEN cronut holes, but it would have been nice to be shown a little more sensitivity over the mix-up and/or appreciation for the extra business they got over it. The woman was totally indifferent about the whole thing. The cronuts will keep me on the hook here, but Happy Donut has lost some of its charm without the OG running things. PS: Bring cash because there's a 3% fee if you pay with your credit card. read more

Only tried one doughnut - chocolate frosted French cruller. Was really good. Need to come back and try some others, they have a good selection of doughnuts and other pastries read more

I love this donut shop so much, come visit if you're in Burlingame/ Millbrae ! The owner is so friendly and kind, and the pastries are delicious. A dozen cronuts were only ~$6. I highly recommend the cronuts and the donut holes ! read more

Best place to get CRONUTS! I actually never heard of cronuts until I fell in love with them at this place! All the reviews talk about the cronuts here so it really is that good. I come here every so often when I have a sweet tooth, never disappoints! read more

HAPPY DONUT = HAPPY ME Been on my bookmarks for ages and I finally got to try it before the year ended..and on two separate occasions hehe. First time I tried their filled donut holes and the second time I tried their filled cronut holes (!!!!!). BOTH WERE GREAT. Personally I'm a bigger fan of the cronut holes but you can't go wrong with either, really. Both are equally delicious when they're filled with custard. Super affordable but do note it is cash only. I don't recall if there was an ATM in there, but there should be one next door at Little Lucca's. The guy working the counter both times I've gone (who I assume is the owner) has also always thrown in a few extra pieces with my order for free. Sweet guy. Not really a huge donut fan but this is a must for meeeeeeeeee :) read more

Simple place with decent coffee, great breakfast sandwiches and good coffee. They have "cronuts" which are like a donut but with the texture of a croissant. A little less sweet than a regular donut. I prefer them significantly to donuts. My go to though is a breakfast sandwich on a cheese and jalapeño bagel. read more

This place is a hidden gem tucked away in one of many plazas around the neighborhood. Their cronut is a must try! We got their original cronut, sugar cinnamon cronut, and two sugar donuts. Both cronuts were delicious. Just thinking about them while writing this review makes me drool. Their regular donuts are good too but their cronuts are what makes them different from other places. We will be back! I'll probably try the chocolate cronut next time! read more

Nothing about the outside of this place says "the donuts here are going to be fantastic." But they ARE fantastic. Sweet, airy, tender, fresh, divine donuts. I really like this place. So unassuming and so delicious. I like the filled donut and cronut holes, but I'm also a big fan of the maple bars and glazed old- fashioned. read more

I tried a maple cronut and it was very delicious. The cronut had nice layers but wasn't particularly buttery. I liked the contrast of the plain, flaky cronut against the very sweet maple glaze. Service was quite friendly. read more

If you want the best breakfast sandwiches and donuts and cronuts around (plus delicious Vietnamese iced coffee) made by the sweetest women ever, look no further! I think that the reason this place is called happy donuts is because you are sure to leave happier than when you went in. These amazing women make me smile every time I go! read more

Fried bits of sweet dough. What's not to like about that? I don't knw why, but I've been craving donuts for awhile. We were hungry last Sunday and decided to get donuts for breakfast before grocery shopping. They do have a variety of donut flavors, but nothing unique or outside of the norm of glazed, chocolate, maple, etc. I got us a dozen donut holes and 1 glazed cronut. They were fine but not as much glaze on the donut as I've had at donut shops. 3.5 stars for now. Be prepared with cash as it's cash only. read more

Found this by mistake. Was looking for cronuts or moichi donuts, but this was not it. As I needed 2 dozens to visit some customers, I just bought them at $15 per dozen, cash only. read more

Went in today to pick up goodies for admin professionals day. Two ladies behind the counter and about 6-8 ppl in line. The two ladies were friendly and got my big order right and were quick too. Cronuts were a hit! Appreciate the great service! read more

After spending my entire Sunday at the Mills Health Center in the ER and not having eaten since the day before I was craving Donut's. Cue me doing a local Yelp search in the hopes somewhere might be open at gone 7pm, to my amazement (and delight) I found Happy Donut not 1 mile from where we were. The place isn't easy to spot in the dark as it's in a strip mall and is fairly small yet inside they have a very decent sized selection. Hubby and I picked up half a dozen Donut holes (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/happy-donut-burlingame?select=gWcKda_jkXjGlWHJ5jR1kw#dORl13O7t_2OrwpTeD9j0w), A Buttermilk Bar (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/happy-donut-burlingame?select=gWcKda_jkXjGlWHJ5jR1kw#X-zy6TboC9l6MhRFScdTPw) and a Bear Claw (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/happy-donut-burlingame?select=gWcKda_jkXjGlWHJ5jR1kw#nUIdogQaVf-_j4ntnQ4l_A) for a little over $4. Sadly once I got home and took one bite of a Donut hole one of the side effects of my medication decided to kick in resulting in overwhelming nausea so I was unable to eat my half of the treats until the following morning which stayed surprisingly fresh. A combination of around 35hrs with no food and them still being so fresh and tasty I practically inhaled them. The Buttermilk bars are delicious! Crispy outside, soft inside with a hint of Vanilla. I've never had one before but just half of one had me craving more for the days that followed. The one person serving in the store wasn't particularly enthusiastic yet served us quickly and efficiently and as well as Donut's they have a small selection of pastries along with Coffee, cold bottled drinks and cans of Soda. I believe they are open until Midnight. read more

This is my favorite donut shop on the peninsula! It's been serving me and my clients for years. Keep doing what you do we love it!

Wow, these donuts literally melt in your mouth. Weird to describe a donut but that's the only way! Light, fluffy, airy but melts when it's in your mouth!!! Best texture I've ever had with a donut will be back again to try the cronuts next time ;) read more

Happy Donuts - Couldn't wait lol sorry! :) - Donuts Near Me - Burlingame, California

My first time experiencing a CRONUT!! :D I've heard about the cronut these past few years, but haven't tried one yet until yesterday. I stopped by here on the way to work to grab a few items. I ordered the glazed cronut, sugar cronut, plain croissant, & ham-n-cheese croissant. I didn't pay close attention at the time I was there so I didn't notice til I was at work.. that she gave me a chocolate cronut instead of a glaze one. :( The cinnamon sugar one was yummy. The croissants were super huge, and not much flavor. Didn't really like them. I would probably return & hopefully, get the glazed cronut & cinnamon sugar cronuts only. 3.5 stars. read more

I now exclusively offer rides to SFO for an excuse to come out here! Well worth the drive from the South Bay for these amazing donuts. Staff is so friendly and donuts are out of this world read more

So my girL and I was having this random discussion about the hype of CRONUTS & to my surprise, she had never heard of such a thing!! Shocking right?? Apparently our convo enticed her in such a way that she ended up coming into the office with two dozen plain & fiLLed cronuts from Happy Donut. LMAO!! Prior to these little beauties, I've only had these flakey pastries from Paris Baguette and I honestly thought nothing could ever compare...... BOY WAS I WRONG!! BeLieve me when I confidently say that this place is the BEST of the BEST! CRONUTS are Light, fluffy, and oh so soft. The whipped cream and custard filling isn't sickeningly sweet which is really important since the donuts are already topped off with sugar and/or gLaze. Needless to say- we massacred the donuts and we're already planning on when we could go get more. Move over Paris Baguette, Happy Donuts came and definitely CONQUERED!! read more

The taste of the donuts were ok. But the staff worked there had no customer service at all. I stopped by Sunday around 4:30pm. I asked the staff what kinds of flavors that donut was and she didn't even want to answer my question!? read more

Cronut heaven. We went in about 10 min before they closed so weren't able to get their cronut specialties except some mixed assortment of their cronut holes which were delicious! And the lady was so nice when we asking lots of questions, she gave us some extra ;) and we didn't even find out until after we'd left. Definitely gonna come back to try more! The cronut holes were so flaky and yummy read more
