This place seriously is amazing!! The best maple long jons and glazed ever! The Apple fritter is really really good too. We got a dozen for mothers day and the two of us ate them all in a day! I've gone back twice since and can't get enough!! A must try if you love donuts. Yum times a billion!!!! read more

I can see why people like it here - for the nostalgia. The store is twice as big as your average donut shop - it looks like they took over the storefront next door and combined the spaces. Johnny's definitely has a retro feel to it, from the wooden tables and wall dividers to old-timey logo. When we walked in I was surprised by the lack of selection - granted, we came in around noon on a weekend, so maybe they had had a busy morning - but even still, weekends are prime donut time - I expect shops to be better stocked. They had the staples you expect to see - glazed raised, chocolate raised, some sprinkled donuts, and a few cake donuts - but little else. There also weren't a lot of any one type. I got a chocolate raised donut and my boyfriend got a cinnamon roll thing. He said his was overwhelmingly cinnamon-y, which he liked, but he couldn't really taste my donut when I shared it. My donut, to me, tasted bland and "dusty," like it was covered in flour after it was finished. As a side note - the starbucks bottled frapaccino I bought from the drink cabinet was about three weeks expired (which I didn't notice until after we paid) - and tasted funny. As we left, we both agreed we wouldn't be coming back any time soon. read more

This has been a household stable for my family since I could even remember. My dad would always bring home a killer doughnuts for me and my sister after he got off night shifts at work. Nowadays, I always get a cinnamon roll after a late night with friends, or a early morning to start the day right. Five stars for tasty doughnuts! read more

Our family has been coming to Johnny's Donuts for over 40 years. I can recall going with my dad to get donuts on a Sunday morning and then to the park to fly our model rockets. Unfortunately, the quality of the past has declined. On our last two visits the taste of the oil is coming through in the donuts and it does not taste good at all. I am wondering if the oil is not being changed as often as it should to avoid the breakdown that results in a rancid flavor in the donuts. Hope it can be resolved. read more

We have been coming here every Sunday for almost 4 years now. The quality and taste is consistent. The people are very friendly. We have not eaten anything better than these donuts. read more

French crullers are excellent here. Local donut shop with fresh donuts and good prices. Would highly recommend!

I got a chocolate old fashioned and while the layer of chocolate coating was quite thick, the donut didn't have much of an outside crunch to them. It also was pretty hard and dry by evening. Yes, it takes me more then a day to finish a donut. read more

Wow! Excellent! Busy place and now I know why! Tried the two shops in Pleasanton and the don't get close to how great this place is. Fresh!!! Just what a donut should be ! read more

This was my first time going to get Donuts at Johnny's. It looks clean inside and there is a lot of seating, for a donut shop. It smells great too! The customer service was decent. I pretty much got 2 of each donut and donut holes. The donuts have an extra crunch or crispness that you don't get everywhere. Overall, I liked it and would go back. The only reason I give 3 stars is because, I'm from Round Rock, TX and if you have had RR Donuts, you know what I'm talking about( BEST DONUTS EVER). So compared to RRD, its not all that, at the same time, I have yet to find a donut place as good or better. read more

We have tried a number of places looking for good donuts. They had a good selection, the donuts tasted fresh, and the workers were very friendly. Fun little donut place! read more

Not bad and surprisingly impressed. After lunch at Blossom Bee next door, we decided to pick up doughnuts for the kids. Bestie bought this ENORMOUS, cake sized doughnut for her son, and some doughnut holes and apple fritters for us. The apple fritter was just right, finished it in 5. The doughnut holes are glazed yeast doughnuts 6 for $1! SWEET! We were there on a Thursday around 11am, so there were still plenty of doughnuts to choose from. Service was sweet and friendly - we'd definitely be back. read more

Great fresh donuts, and good variety! Cozy little place, but good for large orders to go! I got 2 (baker's) dozen donuts, two extras, and two orange juices for under $20. Friendly staff. Definitely my new donut spot! read more

Recommend by a coworker of mine and decided to stop in for a treat. As in most donut shops in the mornings, old timers in groups sitting around is a typical seen. Looking at the selection, I saw 2 gigantic size donuts the size of a very large dinner plate enough for 4 or more people. I decide to be conservative and order a classic old fashion and a cake donut as my standard test for donuts. These were very good as they were not greasy, but just right for my taste. Being light and airy for the cake donut & firm for the old fashion. read more

Fresh, tasty and great selection. What's not to love about donuts!!

I live in Hayward and have driven all the way over here just to get donuts. That's how delectable these donuts are. I used to think that Stan's Donuts in Santa Clara were the best, but Johnny's definitely blows them out of the water. They're light and airy and each bite makes you want to devour it just like Cookie Monster devours cookies. I always get their glazed donuts. It has just the right amount of glaze and won't leave you in a diabetic coma. (*cough-cough* Krispy Kreme *cough-cough*) read more

I've been here a handful of times. Each time I leave happy and with all my delicious treats. I would recommend the apple fritter as it is nice and crunchy, glazed, and surprisingly not too sweet. There are little chunks of apple hidden in its divine goodness. The cinnabun tastes a lot like that large donut they sell but it's still good. I paid a little over a dollar for each thing I bought, the large donut, cinnabun, and the apple fritter. If I wasn't so worried about blowing up from eating so much yumminess I would come here every day! read more

Oh my gosh - those donuts are by which we judge all other donuts! These are the best I've ever had.

This place has been there forever. The donuts have not changed in the 30+ years I have lived in this area. When old friends are in town we always go for donuts, it's like old times relived again. Love the maple bar filled with custard, my favorite. If you grew up in this area you know what I am talking about! read more

I had my first one yesterday, by far the best I've ever eaten. Check it out for yourself, the donuts are big, tasty and you only need one.

A coworker brought these into the office today. I have had alot of glazed donuts but this one was so yummy even the dough part was tasty. Look forward to going back and trying different donuts. :) read more

The best donuts around. Friendly owners and delicious (nutritious?) donuts. You can't beat it. Pro tip: Show up around 9am on Saturdays for a warm, fresh maple bar. Just save one for me! read more

Best donut place in Dublin. Everything is super fresh and all the classics are spot on. My faves are the chocolate raised and glazed old-fashioned. The raised donuts are perfectly fluffy and chewy. These donuts are comparable to Dainty's in San Ramon, and much better than nearby Doughboy's. It's located in a super convenient location too. The Mix Creamery also gets its donuts from Johnny's. read more

Really good donuts! The glaze donut is so good. It's very fluffy but kind of dense. The thing that surprised me is how soft the donut was. Four stars because it was a Sunday and they did not have a lot to choose from, but what they had was really really good. Also had the blueberry cake donut which wasn't really sweet. read more

Oh. My. Word. First of all...I'm pretty sure I saw a 12-inch cake sized donut checking me out from behind the glass, but I was too intimidated to take her home. The medium sized donuts (glazed, sugar, etc.) and twists are fluffy and airy - probably the fluffiest donut I have ever had. Incredibly delicious and hits the spot! The smaller donuts (chocolate with chocolate glaze and sprinkles, etc.) are also incredibly fluffy but almost cake-like, a little bit denser. Both equally amazing and both equally delicious so I highly suggest you take home at least one of each. I would love to go back and try more donuts every weekend morning! We went at around 9:30 on a Saturday morning and only had a few people in front of us in line. There were plenty of places to sit but we took ours home to enjoy as it was raining and windy. Oh - and if you take home the 12-inch donut, let me know if it is as fluffy as I'm imagining! read more

By far my favorite donut place in the world. Johnny's is a Dublin landmark. You have to try a Killer Donut

Apparently this is the relative of Dough boy's donut down the street - both are great!

My Wife and I don't eat a lot of donuts - however on special treat days we always buy Johnny' Donuts. I will drop in real early around 6 or so and get the donuts fresh out of the oven - Great place, friendly owners - A-1- good selection. read more

Fantastic donuts. The chocolate and maple old fashioned are my go to! Thanks for the donuts and for the extra gym motivation :)

Cute little place! Love little old hole in the wall places! Amazing donuts! Decently priced! Must try! We'll be back to this one!

my buddies this last Sunday were pleasantly surprised! at first they wanted starbucks... LOL I asked them, "do you really wanna pay 4 dollars and sum change for coffee?" they also agreed the doughnuts couldn't be any fresher! Thanks again! read more

I decided to check this place out today while waiting on Little Guy to get out of school. I purchase 1 glazed, 1 old fashioned glazed and 1 chocolate cake with sprinkles all for $2.85. The lady behind the counter was super nice and chatted with me for a few. I wolfed my glazed down and have no complaints. Hubby enjoyed his old fashioned as well. LG also inhaled his with no complaints. I tried a bit of his and enjoyed that the actual donut part wasn't super sickly sweet (who needs that when you have icing and sprinkles on top!). I plan on going back to try the cinnamon crumb sometime soon. :) read more

Absolutely love the donuts here. I've been a customer for years and while you pay a little more for a dozen donuts here, its worth it. The shop itself is huge and the staff is super friendly. The kids go absolutely nuts when you bring home a box of Johnny's donuts. read more

If you want to have the absolute best donuts of your life, come to Johnny's Donuts. I've been a frequenter of Johnny's for the last 20+ years and have been consistently spoiled by the quality of their donuts, and service. Being a donut lover, I've been to many of the donut shops in the area (and afar) and cannot find a superior donut! I've had the old-oil flavored, dry, crumbly donuts from the other neighborhood shops. They just can't compete! These are hands down the best donuts you can find around this side of heaven. Whether it's the cakes, holes, the killer, old-fashioned, glazed, raised, or bars--you just can't go wrong. The dough is soft, fresh, moist and cooked to melt in your mouth perfection. (Not to mention, the glazes on top are scrumptious to no end.) Whatever you do, GET A MAPLE BAR FILLED WITH CUSTARD. You simply cannot, cannot, cannot go wrong with one of those! It's like a divine maple cloud, filled with pure joy! read more

I'm hooked!!! Freshly baked-choco glazed donuts - my fave! Went here yesterday and then came back again today.

went here this morning. great crew. very funny and sarcastic which I love. one of the best, freshest glazed donuts I've had in years.

I loved the atmosphere, but to be honest, I've had better donuts. I found my cinnamon twist to be overly sweet. Don't get me wrong, the donut was good and my daughter liked her sprinkle donut, it just wasn't the 'best' donut I've ever had. The staff was great and we had fun eating there, but I'm not sure I'd travel across town for these donuts again. read more

The doughnuts are above average, and the service isn't anything to complain about. Some weird customers attend here though. The service and customers remind me of being at a bar for some reason. Anyways, prices and product are great so you get a fair deal here. read more

Another donut shop (family owned) review for me. My Grandsons convinced me to go here, while I was visiting. Glad I went. Very friendly, patient staff, good variety and quality of yummy "donuts" (including scrumptious bars), fresh daily, of course. Very reasonably priced. Not a shop you would see, unless you were looking for it on-line.....tucked away in a small "strip mall". The grandkids ALL love this place. I will be back on next visit to Dublin area. :-) read more

Fresh homemade doughnuts and basic coffee early in the morning. Blows the chain stores out of the water and is what a doughnut shop should be. This place was great! read more

Best donut shop around! Love the donuts and you can't beat the nostalgic feel of the interior! It's a family run old world donut shop!!!! read more
