    How much I wanted to love this spot! I love small small businesses especially.... ones serving donuts. Sadly I had a very off putting visit today. The lady who was at the store was loudly talking to someone on the phone and did not break a stride while she was helping me and kept her conversation going loudly. There were multiple times I had to check if she was telling me something. Given her focus was elsewhere she ending up giving me different donuts than the ones I asked for. By this time, I just wanted to leave and just took it and left. This is one way to make a customer feel unwelcome. Perhaps it was tainted by the service but I found the donuts stale and listless. Sad.

    Fluffy inside crueller donut
    Charlotte P.

    Go here. Trust me. Food- amazing and freshly made. Drink- delicious and not watered down. Customer service- excellent. Their donuts are fire. I ordered a crueller, selected any flavor (maple, glaze, or chocolate), they sent me a chocolate one; as well as a medium hot matcha, beef bahn mi, and on top of all that they sent me fresh donut holes and an extra crueller. The cruellers and donut holes are so good, they taste no more than 20 minutes old i swear. They have that delicious sugar coated outside and inside are fluffy clouds that melt on your mouth. Delicious. Their bang mi options were beef, pork, ham, and chicken. The marinade is really good and the meat has a lot of flavor. The pickled veggies are fresh and make this especially good for summer days by offering the cool crunch and pickled flavors. The jalapeños I added were spicy just how I like. They offer pate but I have never tried it so I did not get it. The matcha was really good too, it tastes much stronger and just more...real? Thank other places. I think they use a good one here. My experience with their customer service was so nice. They didn't have the protein I ordered for my sandwich but accommodated me with a different one instead of just cancelling my order which I'm so grateful for. They also sent a bag of delicious donut holes and an extra crueller ! Such good food and sweet people. I will be ordering again.

    Ube donut
    Meng E.

    My friend wanted something extra for lunch today, so she went by Puffin Donuts as we had been wanting to try the drinks there. I ended up getting a tiger milk tea, less sweet and an ube donut. The tiger milk tea was okay - sweet, but not a lot of tea flavor. The boba pearls are harder and barely have any flavor. The ube donut has good flavor - crumbly and cakey. There's also a hint of some other fruity flavor that I can't quite place. The donut shop itself is small, but they had a huge variety of donuts. The workers were very friendly and efficient at their jobs. I would probably go back for the other donuts and the service, but not the drinks.

    Grease is the word have you heard? (This is pressing half a fritter)

    Friendly ladies. The old-fashioned glazed and maple were yummy. The cakes and raised all looked tempting, especially the custard-filled bars. Be warned: Let the fritters set if you get them fresh. When hot, each flavorless bite was an explosion of grease. I hoped it was just the ends, but the whole thing was oily. I squeezed the rest out (I included a photo of the grease puddles from half a fritter), and, for the first time in my life, I didn't finish a donut. But after a day in the airtight donut storer (microwave) they were much better. But- hey- go judge for yourself. Maybe I'm just fritter critical (or frittical).

    This is a clean shop and they had a great display of donuts for a Sunday morning. We ordered a few types of donuts, I had the maple glazed. I found the donut to be a bit chewy and thick. We also tried the stuffed donut holes, cream and jam, and those were very tasty. So this is a bit of a mixed review, but I am willing to go back and give them another try.

    Maple Cruller
    David N.

    Absolutely the best maple cruller I have ever had! I have no idea how they made it so light and fluffy. The maple glaze has more maple flavor and less sugar than most as well. They also gave me a few glazed donut holes which reminded me of Stan's donuts, but lighter and less oily. Don't miss this new little donut shop!

    Came specially to try the Ube donut and did not leave disappointed. Located in a shopping center with lots of parking, there were tons of options in the late morning when I arrived. In addition to the ube donut I got my favorite, a maple old fashioned. The ube donut was phenomenal, the perfect amount of ube flavor and super soft and fresh! They also have boba to wash down your donuts with. Service was super friendly and I'll definitely be back again after realizing how close to home this place is.

    Puffin Donuts this week

    I was very impressed that Puffin Donuts was open on a Monday morning. I dropped in to celebrate something huge and figured it was way too early in the day for alcohol (like champagne toast.) The woman eagerly and cheerfully welcomed me and I thoroughly enjoyed a donut with vanilla icing inside if it and a cup of coffee that was so good that it needed no cream or sugar. I got a maple coconut cake donut for my husband which he liked.

    The usual donuts.

    Great donuts, we got sugar coated, old fashion, chocolate filled with creme gel and strawberry filled. The ladies are nice. The coffee was ON or OFF. Regular or Decaf, LOL. That could see a bump up.

    Donuts are fabulous. Fluffy, moist and yummy, but not over the top sugary like some places. Real glad to have Puffin nearby.

    I have been craving a Stan's glazed donut for the longest time, and thought there was no better way…read moreto start a road trip to SoCal! We got to Stan's at around 7am and the line was wrapped around the inside of the store but it moved quickly. I wanted to try a few other items, so we got glazed donuts, a cinnamon roll, the daily rotating banana buttermilk donut and a maple donut. The glazed donuts come out hot and fresh, and they were heavenly. The best glazed donuts I've ever had. The cinnamon roll was also super good, and not too sweet! I'm not a big maple fan, but the maple donut was also surprisingly pretty good. The banana buttermilk donut was a bit too artificial tasting for me, so I'd pass on this next time. This is a cash only spot, and everything is very reasonably priced. For 6 donuts, and two coffees, my total came out to around $17 which I thought was a great deal! Stan's is definitely worth the hype for their glazed donuts and I can't wait to find another excuse to stop by

    Finally made it here to see what the talk of the town was about Stan's donuts. Looking at them…read morethought they look like any other donut but once I sunk my teeth into it, it changed my mind. My mind was blown! They are incredibly fluffy with a nice chew like mochi donut but much softer. They are not too sweet, no milk needed. I finished all 3 in a matter of minutes. I could easily throw down a few more. I don't normally eat glazed donuts but when I come back, I'm getting a few more. Wanted custard but at noon there were none. I live on the East Side of San Jose so not sure when I'll be back. I went to T&T Supermarket, that's why I made this trip. Until we meet again, I'll be dreaming about these donuts for awhile.
