Great service and good Donuts!! They always throw in an extra to say thanks for your business.

Loveeeee this place! I order door dash from here maybe 3 times a week because the Vietnamese coffee paired with some donut holes OR the cinnamon roll is just the absolute best way to start the morning :) This one time they ran out of one of the donuts I ordered and I quickly got a call from a lady from their shop and based off of that short call, I was even more sold to loving this place because she was the sweetest person ever! and really talked to you as if you were her family :) She threw in extra donut holes in my order and gave me any different donut of my choosing. Amazing warm service and donuts that make you NEED to have more than just one! read more

Super friendly business, great donuts at low prices. Always get the donut holes from here

Greatest donuts I've ever had. Don't leave your mouth papery like many others. Would eat them everyday if I could.

I've never been to this place, I've never had a whole donut from here but I'm a fan for sure! Let me tell ya why. My brother, his life partner Todd and their child Booze came over to pick up me and my daughter so we could drive up to SF. He comes over, we strap in the carseats and we're off! On the drive up I notice a pink shoe sized box and my brother says to go ahead and have some or all of em, they were pretty inexpensive $8 and are pretty good. I pop open the box and WTF?! I think they robbed Maple Leaf and said put ALL of the glazed donut holes you've ever made today, into THIS box! I think if I were to pop out the donut holes onto a surface it woulda came out lookin like a brick! That box was so full I didn't think anyone could ever eat the contents of that box. My daughter wasn't thinking along those lines, so she asked for the box and I put it onto her lap. 1/2 hour into the drive we were talking and I totally forgot I'd left the small one with the box of donut holes. I look next to me and her thumb and pointer fingers are fully glazed. Her face is a mess and she's kinda twitchy...jeez. I clean her up and she's upset that she got banned from The Box but she was okay..still twitchy though. I pop a donut hole into my pie hole and WOW! No wonder 1/4 of the box was gone...damn it...the Small one had 1/4 of the box! *looks over* twitch twitch* shit. I keep stuffing my face until we get to where were going and upon our arrival I realize that 1/2 the box is gone...my hands are glazed and my face is a damned mess...TWITCH...oh no... These donut holes are magical, they make you forget how bad they are. They are a little crusty and yet they yield oh so gently once you get past the glazed goodness and the fried exterior, the hole just melts away YUM!!! If a box like that is only $8 then I'm going to that shop for sure! After our outing my brother said to take the box, so did his life partner Todd, they insisted. This morning at 6am...I emptied the box into my gullet. fml read more

the world according to noelle, 2013 noelle's yelp notebook Maple Leaf Donuts is one of my favorite donut shops in San Jose. They have excellent customer service (friendly and fast!). Their donuts are always fresh and delicious. I LOVE the custard maple bar the best. Kudos to Mary and her family for making the BEST donuts in the Almaden area of San Jose for the past 15 years :) Definitely, worth the stop if you're in the area!!! read more

I had been craving donuts. Specifically, a donut with caramel on it. Being relatively knew to the area (and as of yet a donut virgin), I wasn't sure what was what around here. Where I was from there was a local Daylight Donut store (Druber's in Newton, Kansas 5* if you're ever there), but those don't exist on the golden coast. Neither do Dunkin Donuts. So, I hopped on yelp to find something local. My wife and I found this place, saw the heaps of good reviews and bundled up and headed out into the rain to get some (yes, the craving was that strong). I was not disappointed. Not only was the caramel twist I got huge, fluffy and delicious, the 2-day supply of various donuts we got all fit the bill. We got so many, that the pink box was stuffed and they handed us a sack with a couple more in it, and it was still cheap. I think I've found my new donut fix. read more

Our local donut place. It's a typical place, counter, some seats, it's what you would expect from your local donut shop. It may not be glamorous but the Mary is sooooo sweet. She remembers our names, specifics and is so friendly. Honestly it's such a pleasure to see her in the morning, a lovely start to the day. The croissants are fluffy, the bear claw nicely sweet and apple fritter yummy. There is a great selection and of course beverages to suit whatever mood you are in. If you are in the mood for a donut - this is the place to go! read more

My sons love stopping in for their donuts and donut holes. Their donuts are freshly made every day and Mary and staff are so friendly. My favorite is their Hazelnut coffee. Maple donut is a treat for me. Stop by and try read more

My favorite donut place in the South Bay Area. All of the franchises are great- the one on Scott is the best location though. Texas has thee best donuts so I can't dish out a 10/10 but 8.5/10 is worth the trip every time. I also like that all the locations are low key and are ran like hole-in-the-wall places rather than big chains (DunkinDobutts). read more

Maple Leaf Donuts - Appefritter is big and under $2 - Donuts Near Me - San Jose, California

I should have reviewed this years ago, but I've got to confess that it took me moving to Oregon to start visiting whenever I came home to stay with family. My mom has taken my daughter here since she was a toddler. I always heard about the great donuts she had while staying with Grandma and the nice lady at the donut shop who always gave her a bunch of donut holes for free with whatever donut she got. So let me summarize: --I now visit whenever I am in town --I am not a donut fiend, but these could make me donut FAT if I lived nearby. They are fantastic! --Personally, give me a bag of those donut holes and I am a happy girl --But they've got a large variety and my family loves every single one --Apple fritters the size of a salad plate (unless you buy the half size) --Cash only --Nicest woman in town running the place If you live in the Almaden area (in the Safeway shopping center on Almaden and Camden), you owe it to yourself to at least buy a bag of donut holes. Heaven! read more

Great family owned donut shop. I've been coming here on and off for about as long as I can remember. Try the custard filled! =)

Still the best donuts around week after week, every week. Latest favorite is the Cinnamon Maple Twist, but the Apple Fritters are still wonderful two. This family owned shop has been consistently perfect every single time for years and is one of the highlights of my week. If you haven't been in, you're missing out. If you haven't been in for while, come back - it's just as perfect as you remeber.! read more

Wow, what a nice, well managed shop! The nice young woman at the counter could not have been more welcoming. I asked for a cup of coffee and she brewed me a fresh pot. My apple fritter was fresh and tasty. I'm lucky that Maple Leaf is so far from my house or I'd weigh 500 lbs! read more

They should change the name to "The Donut Shop Where Call You Honey". Not sure why, but keep addressing me as honey. Sure honey. Is that all honey? You sure you don't want coffee honey? Oh and by the way, the donuts are pretty good. Boston cremes and old fashions are spot on. The blueberry donuts are like Frankenberry sweet. Whether good or bad, that's up your taste buds. Normally I'm good for 2-3 blueberry donuts but I had to share with one with the niece cause it was fricking sweet. read more

This is my local doughnut place, and I love it. True to their name, the maple ones are the best (I bring a dozen into work every July 1st, as well as anytime the Sharks make it to the playoffs or into the next round of the playoffs). The chocolate doughnuts are also great - not too horribly sweet like some places. The glazed ones and sugar coated are also hits with other members of my family - but I always stick to one maple and one chocolate when I'm kick-starting my day the doughnut way. :) The owners are very friendly and always compassionate of my pre-coffee brain on mornings when I stop there (usually when my husband and I have forgotten to set the delay-brew on the coffeemaker at home - because trying to make coffee before I've had coffee in the morning is never a pretty sight!) It always makes sense to me on those mornings that if I have to stop to get coffee on the way to work, I deserve doughnuts too (it's also cheaper than buying a latte at Starbucks!) They're out of the way unless you live in Almaden, but definitely worth checking out if you're down that way already! :) read more

If it's one thing I learned after going to college, it's this: You never know what you had until it's gone. And that's exactly what resonated in my mind after trying donuts from other shops. This place has the best donuts I've ever tasted. It's nice and crispy on the outside, yet soft on the inside. I never appreciated it until I left and tried donuts in other areas. Other places just have soft and floppy ones. If I wanted soft and floppy donuts, I would have just gone to Safeway. The service here is really nice as well. They always greet you with a smile and will give you a few donut holes when you order something. Make sure you get there early though because they run out quickly. If you have some spare change in your pocket, might as well treat yourself to one! :) read more

Best donuts I've ever had!! We often get dozens for work and everyone loves them! They are always gone before lunch time!! Mary is the sweetest lady ever. She always go out of her way for her customers!!! Almaden valley loves Mary and her donuts!!! read more

We decided to try Maple Leaf after reading reviews on Yelp. The doughnuts were excellent. I was surprised at how fresh they were considering we went in on Sunday afternoon at three. I was also pleasantly surprised by the amount and variety they had left, since they open at 5 am. The doughnuts were so good...soft and fresh and sweet, but not sickenly so. We got a dozen for $8.50, and the owner added in a free doughnut as well. We will definitely be back! There are doughnut places closer to where we live, but I'm happy to drive a little for a great product and friendly service. They also have a nice selection of cold drinks and coffee (mochas, etc.) I'm so glad we found a family-owned shop to support, too. read more

Went here this morning I've never realized there was a donut place in this plaza before today I usually go to Starbucks but then I noticed it . I'm not really a donut girl lol I'm more into bagels but Mary is so full of energy and cheer ! I would come again just to encounter her positive vibe read more

I love this donut store! It really makes me feel like I live in a neighborhood rather than just a big city. Mary and her husband know us, our kids, and now our grandkids. Friends and family who visit us always want to go to "Mary's place." A while ago one friend landed at the airport late at night and asked, "Do you think Mary's would be open?" The donuts are fresh and delicious, and Mary is truly wonderful. read more

Great donuts and friendly staff! Just moved back to Almaden and the is one of the best donut shops outside of Stan's in the South Bay!

OMG - they have some magic here. Their donuts are just outstanding, really a class apart from the rest. Try the custard-filled ones. And they give a donut hole with each donut you purchase - a nice surprise treat waiting in the bag! read more

We are new to the area and are discovering the local eats... This place rocks!!! The donuts are light, fluffy, and HUGE! Very good indeed and we will be back! :) read more

My kids and I love getting donuts here. They have a wonderful selection of donuts. The folks who work here are very courteous and kind. All around a great donut place. Oh don't forget to ask for donut holes! read more

Good donuts and a nice staff are what counts, and this place delivers. Two thumbs up. Bring cash, credit card purchases here are 8$ min. -TS read more

Stopped in to grab a few doughnuts before work for the crew. She gave me a few complimentary doughnut holes and I was served with a smile. I came in at around 6:50 and everything was fresh. The store was full of locals drinking coffee. I definitely got a good early morning vibe from this place. I recommend it wholeheartedly. read more

Maple Leaf is an Almaden staple. Not ok endo they make great donuts but the owner Mary is always so nice, kind, and always throws in a few free donut holes or a free donut when you buy a dozen. It is always great when you can support a local business who appreciates your patronage. read more

The nicest people making the fluffiest, tastiest donuts! The donut holes and cinnamon twists are still family favorites.

The best doughnuts ever!! Mary is hands down the nicest woman I have ever met. Love coming here!!

Yes, this is my neighborhood donut shop and their stuff is really good. I had a sweet tooth streak about a month or more ago. Not a good thing for the body I will tell you... I ate more than one donut at a time and had a mad sugar rush. These things really are addictive though, cause I cam back. Their donuts are always made fresh and they have a various assortment, enough to keep you coming back for more. Maple's are amazing as the name of the place suggests. Eeeek, just writing about this place makes me crave a donut.:( read more

I go here because the owner has a heart of gold and seems to give me extra donut holes each time I go. I don't get a donut cravings very often but when I do, I make sure to go out of my way to come here. I hope this store stays around for many more years to come. Thank you. read more

I had a terrible experience at Maple leaf donuts. I believe in supporting local businesses and I pre-ordered donuts for a special event the day before. When I came by to pick them up I found out they sold my donuts to someone else! All they had to say is that this kind of thing happens. The fact that I had pre-ordered (in person) meant nothing. They had my name and number and yet didn't bother to let me know I should look for an alternative. Since They make all the donuts early morning they couldn't offer me any alternative. After recommending them to the number of my friends, I Was severely disappointed at their level of service. read more

Love their donuts. Very fresh and now sweet. The owner is so friendly and always welcome guests with a big smile.

This place is delicious- staff is super nice and helpful too the food was given to me quickly and it was so good I will be back very soon!!!! read more

Mary is such a sweetheart. The donuts are great and fresh. Never get that greasy feeling in your mouth that I've experienced at other donut places. Love the lemon filled donuts and yummy Vietnamese iced coffee. Chocolate glaze is fantastic too. read more

This is the best donut store ever! I have been coming here since I was 3-4 I love this place. The Lady that works there Mary is very nice she always serves you with a smile. Their donuts are always fresh and don't taste bad at all. They balance the amount of sugar and the bread. They always care about their customers and their health. read more

I absolutely love donuts and this family run donut shop is so nice to come by. They have the best Apple fritters the are super yummy if you go first thing in the morning when they add still warm. The lady, Mary, is really sweet to everyone and even remembers what her regulars get. I would highly recommend this donut shop if in the area. read more

Sweetest owners, bomb donuts made with love. $8 minimum for card so bring cash! Love love overall.

The donuts are crispy, light and fresh. This is all you need, all that fancy stuff is invalid if you have this.. My friend takes me to other donut places, but this is the only one I like. In terms of service, the lady is always nice to me and other customers, they always give complimentary donut holes as an extra to what we order. If I ever drink coffee, which I don't, I'd get it here rather than the Starbucks down the lot. read more
