I'm sure the girl working behind the counter thought my cousin and I were crazy when we stopped by in the middle of the afternoon last Saturday. I mean, I'm sure she always sees girls, in full length bridesmaids dresses, with their hair in updo's and their faces done up with professional make up every weekend. It wouldn't be a normal day at work if she didn't. The glazed donuts were kind of dry, but what can you expect when they've been sitting in the case since 6AM? Nevertheless, the sugary treats were just what we needed to hold us over until the reception. Me: *Driving Driving Driving* Marie: It's right there, Tender Donut. Me: Tender? I like the name, lollll. Marie: You're such a pervert. read more

Amazing and delicious so Hppy I came upon this place just keep it up the last 2 visit the donuts where over cooked

I am always looking for maple bars with bacon, this plaice nailed it. Very impressed and will be back when I am in the area.

Great donuts, at a great price,. I went there this morning at 10 AM and everything was still fresh a lot of selection I don't eat a lot of donuts but I buy them for different businesses on a weekly basis. I thought it was a little pricey for donuts but after tasting them it was well worth the price... Adding pics now read more

The donuts are always fresh and the staff are extremely nice. Every time I'm here I pick up two dozen. My coworkers are all from out of town and they love them! All donuts taste great here. I finally tried the maple bar with bacon bits today and it was amazing! read more

Tender Donut has a great selection of donuts! The Custard filled maple bars had custard from first to last bite and were delicious. My friends enjoyed the other selections. The staff or owner is very nice and hard working. If I am in the area, I definitely will be back although it seems worth the trip to go out of the way. read more

Best local donut shop by far! These donuts always taste fresh. They are also thick and they don't taste like they are full of sugar like Krispy Kreme. read more

I bought these for my team, in which they requested. I got up early and was at the donut shop by 6:30 am. I work in Manteca and they begged for these donuts. They said they were pillowy, soft and tender. They were right, I couldn't resist and tried to stick to the 3 bite rule as I'm on a diet. I had a happy team, looks like I'll be back soon. read more

Wow, just dove into my maple doughnut and this was by far one of the better doughnuts I've had in awhile. Just grabbed two for the road to go with my mixed drink from a next door. Full of flavor and the dough was soft and moist despite buying the doughnut in the late afternoon. Typically you get that stale taste once you take your first bite but not at this spot, flavorful throughout and soft. Service was ok but happy to see that they were cordial and helpful with our order. Didn't have any glaze but don't really expect them to have much this late. This will absolutely be my doughnut stop when I'm in town. read more

tender donuts supplies donuts to quik stop on quail lakes never tried their donuts but after what i saw this morning i never will stood and watched while the delivery man took all the donuts off a tray and placed them on a contained shelf near coffee without any gloves or tongs just bare hands and all unsanitary and unhealthy disgusting spreading germs read more

They have great Apple Fritters and chocolate donuts. It's also near Starbucks where you can get coffee.

Staff is always friend and the donuts are always delicious! Love this place, especially on the weekends.

My favorite donuts! I've been going here since I was a kid and they've never disappointed me. Always friendly and always delicious. Love this place. read more

Went by here the first time today. We had the ham and cheese croissant and a apple fritter. The food was amazing and fresh and the service was great. Looks like we have a new donut place. read more

Good-looking, fluffy donuts with slight crisp edge and a generous amount of glaze! $1 per bar/twist, 80¢ per old fashion (ring), 10¢ per donut hole All donuts HALF OFF after 4:30pm! The ladies working in the front are very nice and friendly. The shop is relatively clean and neat. Donuts are made fresh every morning. Tender Donut was one of the must-stop-by spots for us when my dad used to take my sister (Christina T.) and I around with him to run errands. One glazed ring for each person and some maple bars to munch on later as we watched the latest Chinese movie rentals. In the 90's, It was a definite must-stop-by after we go to our doctor's appointment in the building behind. Yes, getting donuts after seeing the doctor is ironic, but hey, I haven't gotten diabetes yet. Only high blood pressure, but that's a whole other story. What's more ironic is how my dad likes to talk about how he used to be a donut-maker in the 80's for a donut shop in downtown Stockton, so he knows how sugary donuts are and that he doesn't want to buy them for us too often. Then, he hands us the pink box. Christina and I would look at each other, shrugged, and dug in. We know its unhealthy and unnecessary for our daily nutrition...blah blah blah, but these tender donuts are too good to pass up. Till this day, I still catch my dad munching on either a Tender Donut bear claw, cinnamon swirl, or glazed twist with his cup of coffee in the morning. Of course, he would have a dozen glazed donut holes and a few bars for us. Their maple glaze doesn't taste much like maple as before, but they sure never skimp on glazing. Even though we have Star Donut down the street from our house, we still make the drive to Tender because Star is too soggy and oily. Krispy Kreme is also technically closer to us than Tender, but we prefer the texture and taste of family-made donuts. The convenience of Krispy Kreme drive-thru hasn't intrigued me enough to make the turn yet. Tender always has store front parking anyways. The only drawback is that they charge a 50¢ fee for purchasing with a card. Sort of fun facts: Doughnut or donut...I like spelling it donut (of course, I would spell it "doughnut" if I were to include it in my schoolwork). Just like how people pronounce sherbet as 'sherbert.' Not quite correct, but has been popularized by none other--the Americans. read more

Best donut and croissant I've had ever, I went back to my training class and told them and we all went back for more

I think I've stopped at Tender Donut for the last time. Yeah, the doughnuts are good and they always have a huge pile of doughnut holes (since they're the holes, they don't have any calories!), but my most recent visit really turned me off. The woman behind the counter was sweeping and picking up stuff from the floor, then went immediately to serving customers WITHOUT WASHING HER HANDS. Have I been known to eat stuff off the floor? Well, yeah...but from *my* floor, where I know how clean (or not) it is. Sorry...Star Donut isn't that far away, and their doughnuts are just as good. Without having been on the floor (as far as I know). read more

Went in. Asked to buy the $7.99 dozen donuts. When checkout she charges me $11.99. I asked why. She said she put a few of the spirals in there. I have no idea what those are. However I didn't ask for it. If to be fair then I should be charges $8 and $12 instead. I asked for 2 $8 dozen and paid $24. This is not good ethics read more

The donuts are delicious!!!! Excellent service and really great prices! Our new donut place to go!

Favorite donut place in Stockton! I have been coming here for years! Always good prices, always have great donuts, and the service is always friendly! :) read more

It's Sunday, there ad says they close at 6:00pm and also the signs on the doors say close at 6:00pm but it's 5:45 pm and they have already closed for the day. read more

Great bakery, with really nummy croissants and pastries. They do great donuts as well, but don't be fooled by the donut name this place can do pastries and other baked goods just as well. Only problem is that they're a little hard to see because they're tucked in the back of the parking lot behind Eddie's Pizza. But easy enough to sail thru the Starbucks drive-thru and then pull behind Eddie's and stop at Tender Donuts on my way into work. How convenient! read more

This is my favorite donut place in stockton, no joke. I love the people that work here especially the younger girl and the older lady who I think is her mom. They are always so nice when I come in and I always come in a couple days a week to buy a donut or two :P. I can admit that its possible that you can get the cashier at a bad time but honestly, after dealing with the cashiers personally I know they are wonderful people. If you are polite to them they are more than happy to help you :] and if you're a jerk to them (you probably arent if you're looking here) then you deserved it! its fun to see some rude customers getting a little back (; all in all I love tender donuts :] and I love their donuts and nice friendly environment. *thumbs up read more

Very rude i used to go here alot until my parents who are both senior citizens where told to take there coffee and donuts and leave even though there was still 30 mins before there scheduled closing time read more

Fast service, fresh donuts. They had great texture and glaze. I was happy to see they have crumb raised donuts. They didn't have a huge selection but it was ok. A dozen was only $7.99. The woman behind the counter gave me some free donut holes. read more

Stumbled in after work never been here. Best iced coffee!! Better than Thai iced cofffee! The doughnuts were fresh and absolutely amazing!! I will now be a frequent customer!!! read more

This donut shop is hidden behind Eddie's Pizza. I frequently come to Tender Donut during their happy hour for half-off prices. The donuts never disappoint, and the workers are nice. They offer a great variety of donuts, but you should come in early as they usually don't have too many left by the time happy hour comes around. read more

I will not deny that their donuts are quite delicious but only when you can get them fresh! My mom and I had placed an order with them for seven to twelve dozens a week at wholesale price. The first couple of weeks of coming in, they packed freshly made donuts for us and we were quite pleased with their service but not long after they started mixing STALE/HARD donuts with fresh donuts in the boxes thinking we wouldn't notice since it was such a large order. After one morning of biting into a stale donut, we confronted the woman working there and she quickly denied it and then said, "The owner gets mad because you're ordering too much!" What does that even have to do with you serving us STALE DONUTS?! What's most upsetting was that she didn't even try to fix the situation and then told us that they no longer do big orders and that we should go elsewhere. I DO NOT recommend this place to anyone. you never know when they'll serve you day old donuts! read more

Looking for old fashion donuts? This is the place to go. 1 dozen for $10 and extra donut holes. Can't wait to go back for more.

Just stopped by here because as usual I was craving a donut. Purchased a chocolate and a maple donut. FOR .60 CENTS!!(each) im upset I didnt buy more! They were delicious and satisfied my donut cravings. read more

I would like to disagree with John S. The place do make fresh donut daily like u said. Of course, we are all picky since we all have a favorite donut place. The place doesn't play favorite, it your open personailty that determine the cashier good mood. If you want a specific donut, please let the cashier knows. It doesn't hurt to say something. Also, people can be rotten sometime and annoyed the hell out of the cashier. Expect to receive the service given. Every donut shop would play favorite if you help buy alot of their donut. I love the donut here, but i hardly eat them since I don't eat sweet a lot. read more

I came not expecting to have a great donut since it was already in the afternoon, but what was available was trash. The selection was crap, the donut looked like they were made with a butter knife, dry as hell, not even the slightest bit warm, and looked like an aborted fetus. But hey, It's not about appearances when it comes to food though. Oh, but the donut tasted like an aborted fetus also. read more
