Wow. All the different donuts and sandwiches they have at this place is amazing. I've never had a doughnut so good.

Fluffy, glossy, and downright addictive. World's Fare makes one of the best glazed donuts I've ever had. The dough is soft and pillowy inside with a light crunch of sweet glaze on the outside. Perfect balance of sweetness without being heavy or greasy. A true classic done right, this is the glazed donut standard. read more

Their cinnamon rolls are nothing short of amazing--soft, gooey, and perfectly spiced with just the right amount of sweetness. They're baked to perfection, with a golden, caramelized exterior. But as much as I love their cinnamon rolls, the real star of the show is their breakfast sandwiches. These are, without a doubt, top-tier. The bagel is fresh and the eggs are perfectly cooked, and the combination of ingredients is always spot on. Whether you go for the classic bacon, egg, and cheese or something more adventurous, every bite is packed with flavor. You can taste the care that goes into each sandwich--they're hearty, satisfying, and exactly what you need to start your day right. World's Fare Donuts delivers on both sweet and savory fronts, and their friendly service and cozy atmosphere make the experience even better. Whether you're in the mood for a decadent treat or a breakfast that hits the spot, this place has you covered. Highly recommend! read more

I use to work at Berkeley Farms Milk Dairy on Clawiter Rd. They have closed down. But I would hit the donut shop before work in the am. I retired in 2018. I miss the donuts there. I would pick up a Lotto ticket also while I was there. I miss the nice lady's that worked there. read more

I went to the store on a Saturday at like 7-8am and it was packed. I didn't mind the wait, but the service was really good considering that there was like 5 different things happening at the same time. The donuts are bigger than I expected, and it tasted so good. As far as the interior of the place, I thought it was bigger than I expected. There is a lot of place to sit if you want eat in the store. read more

The best donuts in town. The regular donuts are huge. Not a lot of varieties as other places but what they do have are delicious. They sell all kinds of sandwiches. I see a lot of people ordering them but I stick to the donuts. They also sell plain bagels there but I don't think that they make them themselves. I don't know one way or another. They are usually very busy every morning and the lines can get long. There are plenty of seating. Some people sit there for a long time so empty booths sometimes can get hard to find. read more

There's something that definitely changed in the last 6-8 months with this place. I've come back several times and the donuts are no where tasting what I've known and loved for over 20 years. The frosting is different, the texture of the donuts are different, new items on the menu that were never there before, and core items that were staples are no longer made. The customer service has also changed. Smiles and service are also missing. Please bring back the old donut shop I once knew or tell me where the original bakers moved to. read more

i got an apple fritter and chocolate old fashioned. the size of these donuts are huge compared to other places - literally the biggest apple fritter i've ever had. the fritter was very crunchy on the outside which i liked and pretty soft on the inside considering how dense it feels. it was yummy and better than some other fritters ive had but too sweet for my liking. i also wish it had more apple chunks. i didn't really like the chocolate glaze on the old fashioned so i wouldn't get that one again. the service was great though, very friendly read more

Whoa. My friend brought a dozen to a work event. First off, the picture probably doesn't do them justice, but they are massive. So fluffy huge and full of air. Secondly, divinely tasting. Thirdly, no heartburn. Not a guarantee you won't get heartburn, but trashy, greasy donuts usually give me heartburn. Not these quality sweets, no sir. Just deep fried, sugary bliss. Go, try some today. read more

Got a jalapeño ham and cheese croissant. It's made to order and a big portion! Good value for the price I paid. The cashiers are friendly too. Would recommend for a quick snack! Follow me on IG @ella._.luxe for more info! read more

This spot to me is a hidden gem. The donuts are great in the morning and are crazy big in size! They also have old-fashion donuts that are not too sweet too which I personally love. I also got to try one of the croissant sandwiches which was warmed. It wasn't anything too special. I liked it, but the ham wasn't my favorite. I'd just stick to the donuts here! Wide selection of donuts raised and old-fashion! As well as cinnamon rolls, cream puffs, fritters, and more. read more

I kept wondering if the owner intentionally meant to name his donut shop 'World's Fare', or if he really meant 'World's Fair'. Then I read the definition of 'fare' online and saw the second entry which reminded me that the word also refers to "a range of food of a particular type". So the name not only works, but it's rather clever. It was patronizing of me to dismiss the name as a malaprop just because it sits in a strip mall in Hayward. Shame on me. The least I could do was buy a donut. OK, maybe a few. The pressure was on as a couple of impatient customers were lined behind me as I was perusing the depleted late afternoon selection in the display case.I The guy right behind me muttered "¡Ándale! Gringo!" - so I pointed to the $2.50 Strawberry Stick and two $1.50 Plain Old-Fashioneds. But then in a fit of pure insanity, I pointed to what looked to be the world's largest Cinammon Snail at $2.95. I took the box home and asked Jamie W. for forgiveness (photo: https://bit.ly/3xvwYPe). Then we devoured them...granted, over the next three days. The old-fashioned donuts were solid, but the strawberry stick was an especially decadent treat with a strawberry jelly wrapped in a flaky roll of dough (photo). However, the capper was indeed the Cinnamon Snail which despite its inhuman size, was surprisingly tender and not hyper-sweetened with icing. We were both surprised by how good it was. But we do need to perform penance, at least I do since I bought them. Back to carrot sticks for me. DONUTS - 5 stars...well turned though the cinnamon snail was in a category by itself AMBIANCE - 3.5 stars...clean but nothing that special about the space SERVICE - 4.5 stars...the staff was especially friendly and kind despite the mob behind me TOTAL - 5 stars...hmmm, do I need to run an errand in Hayward?

Epic Donuts a Hayward must! Try the Maple Bars there the best ! I got a delivery on Christmas Day !

Come here whenever I'm in the area. Consistently great donuts... until recently. The last couple times I've picked up a dozen, they taste like onion and pepper smoke. Makes sense, since the last few times I've been in there, it smells more like a taqueria than a donut shop. I leave with my hair & clothes smelling like I've been cooking fajitas. I get it, they serve food other than donuts... cool. But now the smoke's penetrating the donuts and it's NOT a good combination. The solution is simple: If you're going to pull off a kitchen & bakery in the same place, invest in an exhaust system that can handle that. At first, thought it was a one-off. So I came back, but same thing. Now for the third time. First time I ever brought a dozen to a gathering and had to throw out left overs! I didn't even finish one whole donut it tasted so gross. Others mentioned the same. I'm hoping they do something about this. I've casually enjoyed these donuts for 20+ years and hope to continue. read more

This place is always busy but they got amazing choices! I love that their donuts are so good and still not as expensive as Krispy Kreme. Food seems to be a favorite here since they don't only serve donuts, but bagels, sandwiches and more. The ambiance is great! read more

It's National Donut Day so of course I had to go to my favorite local donut shop, World's Fare Donuts. Located in a small shopping plaza on Hesperian (across from the Target plaza), this is the type of donut shop that has LOTS of regulars. Whenever I come here in the morning, especially early morning, they are always super busy with a line of folks getting their breakfast before going to work. But that line moves quickly as all the employees behind the counter work to fulfill donut, sandwich, and drink orders. They've got quite the menu so if you're looking for more protein packed meals or even just a smoothie, they've got you covered. The donuts are always so thick and fluffy, the perfect texture and they're even better when they're warm and fresh. My go-to's are the maple, cinnamon crumb, or the chocolate but honestly, you can't go wrong. I've had their sandwiches before and they're good (not great). Those are pretty basic but let's be real - it's not called World's Fare SANDWICHES. Anyways, I'll always be back here. Try it out if you're in the area and craving a donut! read more

Our company always ordered a big box with different flavors, and all of them were tasty. I'm on a strict diet now, but I couldn't say no to the super-sized glazed donut, and the donuts were all gone in an hour thanks to my coworkers. I will add pictures when I can since everyone just grabs donuts so fast. Happy to support this local business. read more

I might've just had the best donuts in my life at this no-frills donut shop in Hayward! The yeast donuts are big, fluffy and so so soft. Each donut runs about $1.50 for regular and $2.50+ for specialty donuts. The donut menu has a wide variety ranging from raised, glazed, cake, cronuts, and even donut sandwiches. They also have bagels, sandwiches, coffee and more. Some of my favorites: Crumb Original glazed Coconut Cronut holes Already thinking about the next time I'm coming back for these delicious pillowy donuts, yummm! read more

The ladies in here are so nice and friendly even when they are busy. The ham egg and cheese croissant is my go to order. They always put the perfect ratio of ham, egg and cheese. The donuts are always fresh and good. read more

HUGE DONUT ALERT! Seriously. There's a donut as big as my head! Stopped by during Halloween to treat ourselves! The donuts are so flaky that when you pull them apart, it's so soft! And when you bite into them, it just melts in your mouth. We bought a half dozen mixture of filled donuts, glazed, sugared & a maple bar. Plus a croissant and custard filled donut holes. Filled donuts- as big as these donuts are, the filling didn't fill the entire way of the donut. I bit into a raspberry filled and got bread only. No filling! Took another bite and still no filling, lol. The filling was highly concentrated in the middle of the donut. Maple bar was my fave! Even coating of maple and glaze all throughout! Custard filled donut holes was nothing special. Just more sugar and carbs... because why not, haha. Croissant- was still moist the next day! And THIS was as big as my head! $2.25, I'd go back for it. Crunchy outside with a buttery soft inside. Definitely something you should grab! read more

The best in the East Bay and people know it as there's always long lines. My favorite is the classic glaze. Fluffy and not too sweet, just right. read more

Fast friendly service. Voted among the Bay areas best donut shops and I have to agree. I travel both locally and around California and hands down this is one of the best donut shops I have been too. read more

The flow of the shop is horrible. There is no positive energy. Employees quite grumpy and not acquainted with customer satisfaction. Two stars for the donut holes! Those were devoured while the coconut flavored was over the top with back taste akin to cheap ingredients. No real coconut at all. read more

5 stars for the GIANT DONUT!!! It was my fiancé's 30th birthday and we both love donuts so I just had to get him the giant donut as a birthday cake. You have to order at least a day in advance. I got it glazed with blue frosting and rainbow sprinkles on top. Although I knew it was a giant donut, my jaw literally dropped when I went to go pick it up. I did not expect it to be THAT big and heavy. They even added in donut holes around it too. The look on my fiancé's face when we brought it out was the best. The donut was really good too! It was sugary and fried on the outside. Because it's so big, it can be more bready in the middle, but you can cut off a slice and stick it in the air fryer and it is delicious. We barely made a dent. I brought back half the donut to my own family. Funny story, my mom finished the leftover donut so fast so that I wouldn't have to. We don't let anything go to waste and she's trying to save me so that I can look good for my wedding! Should I get a giant donut for our wedding too? ;) read more

Love the texture of their donuts! They're fluffy, soft, and chewy, all the in the best way possible. Unfortunately not a 5/5 because they're not very generous when it comes to their glazes/toppings. I don't have a huge sweet tooth, but the glazed donuts have the thinnest layer of glaze. Their sugar donut also has a super fine sugar coating (like they blended granulated sugar, similar to the texture of splenda) which I've never seen at other donut shops. read more

Duuuuuuuude. Giant. Fluffy. Donuts. Best glazed donuts classic donuts ever! And their apple fritter is ginormous and delicious!! Come fight me. read more

One of my favorite local spot when I'm in Hayward! The mornings can be long but it goes by pretty quick. Know what you want, order, pay, and enjoy your day. The Vietnamese coffee is fire. read more

Great Donuts. They are huge donuts and my fav is the Apple Fritter. Service is top notch. Where else can you walk in and get 3 dozen/ 5 dozen donuts with out pre-ordering. You do get a discount if you pre order the donuts.... Love the family owned and operated Shop, they have been arround since the Mall days and have move to this site many many years ago. Been going to them since the 80's and still going... read more

This Covid-19 has got us trapped in our homes but so happy that some of these small businesses stay open for us to enjoy lives little pleasures like donuts!! One of the best donut shops around! I call their donuts as the best as they seem to be on steroids!! Humongous donuts, apple fritters and croissants! I am about the moist bread of the donut then all air and sugar like Krispy Kreme donuts. I also like their sandwiches as they are pretty good and big. I love the croissants sandwiches the best! This place is my fave for a quick bit. They also offer boba drinks but have yet to try it. I can't believe I haven't rated this place yet?! Their tables were not open to sit during the stay-home order but they obeyed the order of social distancing with lines and signs and calling out when it's your turn. Staff are nice and friendly. Definitely give them a try! Totally work it! [49/100] read more

Hubby had stopped by here after work with his co-workers before coming home. When he came home he told me that he had went here to grab us something to eat and I was excited. He told me that they had different breakfast sandwiches, donuts, etc. He ended up getting us a breakfast sandwich to share, which was greatly appreciated. He got us a ham, cheese and egg croissant sandwich and it was honestly more than enough with half. I got super full from eating it. We didn't eat it right away so it wasn't fresh and hot, but it was still super delicious! I seen their menu and would definitely like to try their other breakfast sandwiches. They have English muffin sandwiches, croissant sandwiches, and bagel sandwiches. They all look and sound so delicious! Hopefully Hubby will go back and bring breakfast home again. :) read more

Summary: Even missing the hole, these donuts are great value Details: * Your eyes aren't playing tricks on you: these donuts are massive, from the simple raised to the ginormous apple fritters * Carries all the fairly classic flavors and varieties one would expect * Good, fluffy texture, and not too terribly sweet Accessibility: While the inside can feel a little cramped, it should be accessible for most if you're just doing a grab and go: seating may be more difficult given the layout of the space. read more

Fantastic giant cinnamon rolls, and flaky croissants. .

Really tasty donuts I had the chocolate twist glazed it did not disappoint. I'm definitely going to return for some of the sandwiches. This is a well-run family store. It was Friday morning about 6:00 a.m. and the owner was apologizing to everyone for his speed of service because Friday is their busiest day. I thought that they were moving things along very well but this shows you how nice they are! read more
