Honest neighborhood donut shop bringing you the softest donuts in town. They have the fluffy, nostalgic donuts you remember eating as a kid and not the ones you get at places like Krispy Kreme's. The service is always great, they are always nice and accommodating. My kids all want their own bags and let's not begin with them always changing their orders - the people there are always patient. There are seats in the back and I often times see parents there with their kids before school or a few elderly folks hanging out with friends, over a donut and coffee. Very friendly and warm place. Highly recommend if you're in the area. They changed management a few years ago and I'm happy to say they have kept the same warm service.

Maple Leaf Donuts - Entrance to Maple Leaf Donuts in Almaden Valley - Donuts Near Me - San Jose, California

This is a dangerous place to be if you're on a diet/avoiding sugar :D I stopped in on Sunday morning to grab a quick breakfast and head to work. I couldn't decide, so ended up with a regular glazed and chocolate covered, and was surprised to see a couple of donut holes in my bag once I got to work. Though they're not the cheapest, the donuts are good, and made fresh. I would have tried one of the breakfast sandwiches if I had a bit more time to wait. Service is friendly, and I thought I'd be able to stop myself after eating half each, but by lunch time, only the donut holes remained and there still the afternoon... read more

So I ordered an egg salad sandwich on a bagel with cheddar cheese. I got one sliced hard boiled egg sliced up with a ton of salt and pepper on it with pepper jack cheese. I mean was it edible? Sure. Definitely not what I ordered. And one sliced hard boiled egg does not a salad make. read more

Friendly staff and donuts were delish! They even gave us a few donut holes for free which was a nice touch. Lots of ample space for seating and some outdoor tables as well. The only con is they over price their donuts by a lot. Even more expensive than Stan's donuts which is saying something read more

Delicious variety of Freshly made Donuts with impeccable service , reasonable price plus a warm inviting corner shop , It's best to order in advance since they can be sold out your favourites fast. It's also great that they are open 7 days of a week. read more

They answered their phone, that was the first indication that they understand customer service is key! They had everything we wanted (group of 8) on a Sunday at 11AM! Other places like Stans etc. wouldn't even pick up our call. Manley's runs out too quickly on the weekends. We will be back! read more

It was my first time here and I am impressed. They provided great service and are very friendly! Their donuts are fresh and delicious!

Best Local Donut Shop in San Jose. Very Clean and organized. They have the best customer service and are really nice to every person that walks through the door. I live about 20 mins away from this donut shop and I make the drive to Maple Leaf ! They have cinnamon tea ! And the black coffee is 10/10. They offer a variety of different drinks and breakfast items. Hands down the best Donut Shop. Always fresh and delicious. read more

When it comes to the ole saying "location, location, " Maple Leaf has that nailed down near a Starbucks, and located in the shopping center as a Safeway its only natural that every single time I go shopping I stop in to pick up some donuts. My favorites are the simple donut holes they are fluffy and delicious and actually not round holes more like large pieces that come in different shapes as if the dough was torn in pieces so you are getting bigger pieces than the usual-looking donut holes. You are given a friendly greeting. This place may be small a few tables inside but it's perfect for dropping in and satisfying that "donut fix" read more

Donuts are freshly made and definitely of your a maple lover. These melt in your mouth. Great thing you may add custard or filling to any donut. read more

This is hands down the best donut shop in the Almaden/Blossom Valley area. It's clean, the donuts are fresh and the girls that work there are always sweet. I will say, though, that I'll stick to weekends. There are various weekdays where they must have a different donut maker. Those times, the donuts are just a heavy overcooked oily mess. I try to peel off the outer layer and wrap in paper towels to absorb the grease, but it doesn't work. Greasy taste and left always with a tummy ache. Weekends only for me, but whoever their primary donut maker is, does an amazing job! Even when they're bad, they're still 100% better than other shops in the area. read more

Such a gem! I stopped by for donuts and decided to try their Vietnamese iced coffee, easily one of the best I've ever had. It was bold, smooth, perfectly sweet, and ice-cold, absolute perfection. The donuts were super fresh, fluffy, and packed with flavor. Definitely coming back! read more

Fabulous donuts! We just visited here a few minutes ago for the first time. Friendly staff and excellent customer service, very welcoming! The donuts are delicious!

great coffee, sandwiches, and donuts! i come here very often, and it's always a great experience

A solid 3.5 Review for Maple! Enthusiastic! I found this place when I met with a friend in the Almaden area, I love how this center has a little bit of everything. Missed the name but, there are tons of locals and families in the area. That's definitely in my realm so naturally I am pretty comfortable to be there. I noticed Maple and we sat in there little courtyard with some tables and lawn chairs, which I thought was pretty sweet. Everything was spaced out for comfort, that was the blueprint for the layout as the furniture was bolted into the cement, not for covid I assume. Anyway.... As far as the food and caffeine I thought was standard, which is perfectly ok I think for a local spot. I got a iced Vietnamese coffee which was partially prepared in a refrigerator and a banana walnut muffin with some extra donut holes. The Iced viet espresso was ok, kinda flat in taste and kinda soft on the caffeine. Something similar to 7-11 prep which is ok. The banana bread nut muffin was great tasted fresh and didn't crumble just perfectly sweet. The donut holes of course were amazing little zingers too. In summary as an experienced coffee drinker, I just do have a preference for cleaner tasting coffee and a muscular caffeine draw. That's perfectly ok. Why a 3 1/2 rating? It's standard local cafe food, simple as that. Enso forever. +- Very friendly. Tip well. Cash only. Fresh! _Let's do it! read more

Maple Leaf Donuts - Iced vietnamese coffee and banana muffin and donut holes. Solid 3 stars. Awesome! - Donuts Near Me - San Jose, California

Was craving some donuts so decided to detour to this donut shop for a quick afternoon snack. I got an apple fritter and a dozen of donut holes - I had requested to get a variety so I can try them all. The apple fritter was humongous, bigger than my hand! Apple fritters have been my all-time favorite donuts since I was little and it def satisfied my cravings. The edges were crunchy and the middle was soft and moist. The donut holes aren't your typical "donut holes", these are in all sorts of shapes and sizes but tasted just as good - all were so fresh! Very Covid friendly - 2 customers max & you enter through the front door then exit through the side door. Cash recommended if you plan to purchase small amount of items because they only accept CC for purchases $8+. Also, the lady was super friendly and sweet - great service! read more

Maple Leaf Donuts - Apple fritter & dozen of variety donut holes - Donuts Near Me - San Jose, California

Been going to Maple Leaf Donuts for years and will miss Mary. Recently went for the first time under new ownership and met a nice woman behind the counter named Tia, who was very friendly and efficient. She accurately assembled my 1 doz donuts in a new flat style box, not the pink tallish square box I was so used to all these years. It''ll take some getting used to, but the advantage of the flat box is all donuts are now easily displayed (& accessible) when the box is opened - vs. being tightly slotted sideways in the pink box. All the donuts looked the same visually - which is a compliment to the new donut maker. I can't speak to the taste of the dozen donuts as they were given as a gift. I did order an apple fritter & old fashioned for myself - compliments to the current donut maker, both tasted like Maple Leaf Donuts - I'll need a few more visits to confirm for consistency of the product, but it seems they're following the previous recipes, techniques & process. Also the new owners put up a couple of flat screens that display all their menu items. Hopefully Almaden and the surrounding area gives the new owners a chance and continue to support local small businesses like Maple Leaf Donuts read more

New owners for a while, same good ol' breakfast sandwiches and doughnuts! Just picked up 4 doughnuts and 2 breakfast sandwiches. Great!

An Almaden Valley treasure is going to retire on Feb. 29th 2024. Mary & Tal the long time owners of Almaden's Maple Leaf Donuts are retiring and I want to thank them for their years of service to the Almaden community. From their top notch customer service and by far the BEST Donuts in the Bay Area to their friendship with all their long time customers. Mary knows most of her customers names and orders by heart. We will all miss them dearly and wish them nothing but the best in retirement. Mary,Tal & Monica it is my pleasure to call you my friends and I will miss you all tremendously !!! It won't be the same without you. Best of Luck, Jim read more

I enjoy their donuts. Nothing jaw dropping, but a decent product when you need it most.

Order delivery from this place on DoorDash. I ordered a sausage egg and cheese croissant as well as two raised donuts. The croissant was packaged well, flavorful, had a buttery and flaky crust, and was all around delicious. I would definitely try this place again for the breakfast sandwich. The glazed donut was amazing very light and fluffy. Sadly I was given the wrong order for my second donut but they did throw in a couple of free donut holes so I assume that they were out of stock of what I wanted. Everything tasted fresh and was reasonably priced so I highly recommend trying this place out! read more

We have been buying donuts from Maple Leaf Donuts for over 20 years, though we stopped going there several years ago as our children grew older. Now that we have a grandson, we have an excuse to start buying donuts from there again. We were very pleased that the same freshness and quality is reflected in the donuts they make today, with much the same offerings. My favorite is the chocolate-glazed donut, though if you are visiting for the first time, I recommend starting with a regular glazed donut, which is, in my opinion, the best way to judge a donut establishment's freshness and quality. In any case, it is fortunate that we are buying donuts from Maple Leaf Donuts. And, one other thing hasn't changed, which other review mention: Mary, the owner who greets customers with a big smile, always manages to toss in two or three donut holes, even when buying one or two donuts. Bless her heart! read more
