Been living in the area for a year now and finally stopped by this donut shop. I must say, yes the donuts were very fresh but you have to eat them right away before they get all cold. I saved a couple for the next day but they got all hard (stale) sooooo I wasn't too happy with that. Lol but I will definitely stop by again. read more

Been coming here for years. Mary and her staff are always so friendly & welcoming. I love that the donuts are always fresh. I've gotten used to Mary sneaking in a donut hole or two with our order, but just now she snuck one in with my chocolate croissant! It's the little gestures that mean a lot. read more

I have been visiting friends house near this place and seen them to be busy. This time I stopped by for a fresh donut and I am glad that I did. Fresh donuts are the best read more

We love this place. Best place in south San Jose. Super friendly. All of their donuts are always fresh. Never once had a bad donut!

THE BEST donuts you'll ever have. The people there are so nice and the donuts are made fresh you need to come in early!

The doughnuts here are fresh and delicious, with a wide variety always available, not just in the early morning. The prices are so low that it worries me sometimes. The proprietress always sneaks some doughnut holes into the bag too. Whenever I crave a real doughnut (not some store-bought or Dunkin fare) I come straight here. I hope they stay open as long as they want to. read more

A great addition to the Almaden area to get your sweet fix on! Definitely a treat worth getting on a morning commute

The best ever donuts and Mary is so kind and sweet. Every donut is done with perfection. The holidays are close so we will be getting a couple of dozens. read more

There's two types of donut eaters...those who eat them occasionally at work, school, or for a special event, and those who genuinely love donuts. I'm in the latter and so I'm sort of a donut snob. That being said, when I try a new donut store I usually get a few standards that way I can compare equally between shops. These included jelly filled, maple bar (or ring), apple fritter, and cinnamon roll as well as a few miscellaneous ones. Let's start with the good. The apple fritter and old fashioned maple were pretty good. Average or above average. Now the bad. The jelly filled (lemon and raspberry) were inedible. The filling tasted like dollar-store pie filling. My son, who loves jelly donuts, wouldn't even eat the raspberry one. I tried it as well and it was gross. Before I continue, most people probably wouldn't have problem with some of these donuts, but again there's two types of donut eaters. Now, onto the maple ring. It was below average. The icing was thing and the maple flavor weak. I know this review goes against the majority view and high rating, and I don't mean to be pretentious, but hopefully other donut snobs can get a different opinion on this store and maybe try somewhere else. I feel a lot of donut shops in San Jose use cheap ingredients, never do anything inventive, and this shop is no different. I will pay more for a better donut. If you want to see what I think a phenomenal donut is (haven't found a place yet in San Jose). Look at Surfside donuts in Pismo Beach, CA and SLODoCo in San Luis Obispo, CA. These are 5 star donut places. read more

Awesome customer service. Sweet lady greets you with a smile and sometimes they throw in extra donut holes! Donuts are delicious and fresh(get here early)! read more

Easily my favorite donut shop. I've been coming here for years and love to visit when I'm home to visit family. The owners are extreeeemely kind and sweet, and they always throw in extra donut holes! Make sure to read their story that's in the newspaper posted up on one of the walls. Today was one of those days that I went back home to visit family, and the donut shop is temporarily closed because some idiot drove through the front of the store last week. Thankfully, no one was hurt. Here's a photo just to prove how beloved the owners are! read more

See all

Amazing donuts with friendly service. Plus, you get a few donut holes when you buy a dozen!

My coworker always brings donuts from this place to surprise me. Unfortunately for my waistline, this place got me hooked on maple donuts. They are so good! The other donuts here are good too, but the maple ones are my favorite, perfect balance of sweetness and the texture is light and fluffy! I also enjoy the old-fashioned ones (of course the maple-covered ones). Not the best donuts I've ever had, but are still really really yummy!! read more

Also, she threw in a couple delicious donut holes which were a sweet suprise when we sat down to enjoy! read more

Maple Leaf Donuts - (2 donuts put together) - Donuts Near Me - San Jose, California

So happy to find this place! Moving down to San Jose from Sunnyvale where I had enjoyed "Stan's donut", this is GREAT finding~!~ I think their glazed donut is as good as or could be better than Stan's glazed donut. My friend who is a long time customer at this donut place told me that they change the oil often to keep a good quality donut. As I am writing this, I am tempted to drive back there again to grab more donuts! read more

Delicious donuts, great selection and competent, friendly service. What else could you want? I definitely recommend this donut shop over any competitors in the area! read more

Very friendly service. We moved to Almaden recently, we used to eat at Donut wheel in Cupertino before. But Maple Leaf Donuts are so much more yummier! It's going to be our go to place for donuts. read more

This is the best donut store on the PLANET!! Maybe it's because I rarely eat donuts, so when I partake, my stomach does a happy dance no matter the quality?? NOT! This donut shop is located in our neighborhood, so it was a convenient stop when I had to purchase donuts for my daughter's softball team. After receiving so many compliments and questions asking, "where did you get these," I knew I had stumbled onto a gem of a shop. Now, whenever I need to bring donuts to a student event or work, this is the only place I stop. On top of being the best donuts around, owner Mary and her husband are the sweetest people! Highly recommend this donut shop to all of my friends and family. read more

Yum! Very good donuts and selection. Plan to go again. Easy location to get in and out. Everyone was COVID safe.

Delicious donuts and very kind employees. Getting donuts here has become a weekly tradition.

Best donuts in town. The owner is a local treasure. She is kind, welcoming and hardworking..

Always fresh donuts in Almaden Valley. Love Mary and her crew. Can always count on it to be open with fresh donuts daily

The donuts are mid, I got the all chocolate shabang donut with peanuts. The icing was not even all over the donut and the peanuts fell off so easily. It got all over my friend's car. I'd rather go to Yum Yum or Dunkin. Teheee read more

I've been coming here for forever. Great donuts, friendly staff. It's definitely a neighborhood mainstay! The Apple cider cinnamon flavor is my go to. read more

My husband & I have been visiting here for several years, & the service AND the quality are consistently good. :-) They have all of our fave donut types, and I've even learned to like some new types thanks to their selection. We've never tried the drinks, but they look yummy from what I see others getting. Mary and her family are very friendly and good-humored. Mary seems to know almost everyone by name, and she likes tucking free donut holes into your bag or box. Oh, and the place is always very clean. read more

This place is cash only unless your order is over $8, but apart from that it's cute, warm and smells like donuts!! The donuts hit the spot, I would definitely go here again! My younger siblings and their friends used to swear by this place when they went to Leland, apparently it closed for a while because someone drove into the store front (true story) but now it's back and better than ever!! They also tossed in a free donut hole! I do-not know why I haven't been here more! read more

Mary is the best. I always buy a Blueberry muffin in the morning on the way to work. Clean shop, delicious donuts and great coffee.

Always fresh. Best donuts ever. I took these to school in SF one time, and people were so sad when I told them they were from SJ! Mary is the best. Thank you for everything. You do so much for the community. read more

This is my favorite donut shop! The donuts are always fresh and delicious. The owner always sneaks a few donut holes (my favorite) to my orders. One time she gave me a free donut with my order of a dozen as I hadn't tried the particular flavor before. This spot is truly a gem! read more

Lovely place to get donuts. It's one of the few establishments in the area that really feels like a down-to-earth, neighborly sort of place. The donuts are delicious, and the owner is always nice enough to slip in a couple of extra donut holes! The venue is clean with a couple of booths to sit down and chill, and there's also beverages available. The owners are always super kind and sweet as well. Highly recommended! read more
