    Donuts are solid and delicious! But they are also not as it'll cost to some other places. Easy access to the shop. Plenty of parking. Close to the train. Close to downtown. Papers and lottery here. Good Kona coffee.

    Dubai chocolate donut
    Jennifer U.

    After dinner and drinks, we wanted some donuts. Found this place via Yelp near our hotel that was open late at night. We got the Dubai chocolate donut which was not good by itself but perfect with a warm cup of coffee. We also shared half a dozen cronuts ($4.50) which were sooooo yummy and perfect size to share! If it was during the day, I would've totally ordered a banh mi or 2.

    24/7 quality donuts AND an amazing Banh Mi makes this pretty much an automatic 5 star haha Not much to add to that - but really. The donuts are so good (they have these cronut hole thingies that are even better) - and the banh mi is actually one of my favorites in the Bay. I can't say it's the best, but it's definitely the best if it's 3am, and everywhere else is closed ;) But even during normal hours, I'd say the sandwich can definitely stand its own. Maybe a tad bit far from where I live but would definitely stop by if I find myself in a late night craving or post-concert munchies :)

    1. BBQ Pork Banh Mi

    This is the go to for banh mis in the area. Quick and worth it. Full of flavor and the bread is soft and crunchy at the same time. Come to try them out yourself!! And grab some cronuts-fluffy and delicious!

    2. BBQ Beef Banh Mi
    Luna M.

    This donut shop surprised me in the best way. They sell Banh Mis and yesterday was my first time trying them. Now here I am eating them again today. I fear an addiction may have started because they are that good. Both the beef and pork are delicious and super filling. I've only ordered through DoorDash so far, but I noticed they offer so much more, including donuts, boba, and other options.

    These are the donuts that we bought chocolate chocolate with nuts blueberry got some sprinkles and I forgot the other two

    Royal donut shop was a very good one it's open 24 hours and it saved us because we had nothing to eat. They have their own type of doughnut. One of them was like a pistachio one. I wish I took a picture, but I didn't. I will post some that I did take.

    Dubai Donut & CRONUT DONUT
    Renée M.

    Little hole in the wall donut shop by the train tracks which is accessible to a lot of foot traffic. Met my friend on a Saturday as it was a place I'd never been to and not in the midst of Burlingame Ave where we'd probably have to wait for a table. I split a non-spicy Beef Banh Mi Sandwich with my friend. We shared a Dubai Pistachio Knafeh donut and were given a cronut hole. For drinks she ordered a Vietnamese Coffee and I got an Avocado Smoothie. We paid for our order and sat outside on the tables but decided to sit inside where it was more comfortable and cooler. The Avocado Smoothie uses real Avocados and was refreshing, creamy and hit the spot. My friend touted the Vietnamese Coffee here and was satisfied. The Banh Mi was okay, IMO. The beef slices had a sweet/tangy sauce which I didn't care for. I just wanted simply grilled meat but that was their version. I didn't finish my 1/2 sandwich. The Dubai donut is interesting and the Cronut hole is a popular item. Lots of families with children, some with kids in post-game attire, people with strollers and just people young and old were coming in and ordering. They have Mochi donuts, regular donuts, Vietnamese sandwiches, coffee, Matcha drinks, Boba Tea, Milk Tea and Smoothies amongst some of the other menu items online. I gave 3 stars because the store smelled a bit both inside and outside on the benches. I saw a homeless person come in and an employee gave him something small to eat. I'm not trying to be insensitive but that's what the store smelled like at times if you got a whiff. The brewed coffee was sitting in the pot and smelled thick and burnt. If you're getting off the train, this is a place to get a quick bite or Boba Teas on the fly. Be patient as there aren't a lot of employees.

Love love love their crumb donuts, Vietnamese coffee, cronut holes, and custard filled long bars. THE 1 STAR IS STRICTLY FOR ONE OF THEIR EMPLOYEES, ONE OF THE SISTERS: One of the sisters is super sweet & nice, I love when she is working! The other one on the other hand... she is NASTY & responds very rude to customers. I've encountered it several times now trying to let it slide but it's out of hand & hence this long awaited review.... CUSTOMER SERVICE DEFINITELY CAN RUIN A BUSINESS. I'd suggest the business owners have a talk to her about her personality and mood. One time she talked about my elderly father & made him feel bad - he didn't want to come back and said she's mean. Another time I asked her a simple question about a donut and felt like I was being scolded by my mom about frickin donuts! Talk about kill joy... who gets riled up about donuts?! She just is miserable and her negative energy & facial expression exudes - "I hate being here" Contemplating after today's instance of her taking the knife to open the donut box and rudely show me about my donut selection instead of just validating my order, that this is the last time dealing with her nasty attitude. It'll be disappointing if this is my last time supporting this business despite how good their donuts are, but customers shouldn't start their mornings or afternoons with a RUDE & MISERABLE EMPLOYEE, PERIOD. Sending her warmth because she definitely could use some

Their stand had a lot of different offerings, but none seemed to really peak my interest. Just seemed like a mom and pop on retirement and they wanted to make extra cash by making substandard treats.

The flan cake fell flat for me as well. I like a really custardy flan, but this one was more like jello. I rather just go to Valerio's.

Lol. Okay, so we got their ube rice krispy and ube Sesame balls. Both were extremely dried out and tasted like they were made several days ago. They didn't taste fresh. The rice krisoy really didn't have much of an Ube flavor, and it was very tough to chew. The Sesame balls were worse. We had to cut it with a sharp knife and chew it like bubble gum. After eating one ball, we threw the rest away. They were NOT crispy and lightly chewy like they're supposed to be. It's hard as a rock and teeth breaking. Would not buy again.

Their menu has a ton of options, although there aren't many pictures, so it took us a minute to decide. Thankfully the staff were super friendly and patient. We ordered a dozen Binka Bites in 6 different flavor (Choco Bavarian, Dubai Chocolate, Churro Biscoff, Nutella, Oreo, and Mango Cream), 2 Spam Musubis, and a Chicken Empanada. It was my first time trying Binka Bites and I really enjoyed them. The texture reminds me of a hybrid between mochi and sponge cake, soft, chewy, and not overly sweet. My favorite flavor out of the box was definitely the Nutella. For leftover, I would recommend to microwave them for a 5-8 seconds before eating so it will be soft and warm. The Spam Musubi had a great spam-to-rice ratio imo (very important lol) with decent amount of sauce. Meanwhile, the Chicken Empanada was fresh, hot, and packed with flavorful shredded chicken. Overall, it was a really great first visit. I'm already looking forward to coming back and trying their Mini Adobo Rice with Scrambled Egg next time.
