    Donut selections

    Solid donut shop! We were in the area for a softball game and wanted to get the team some donuts before the game. Stumbled upon World's Fare Donuts and knew it was the spot to be at as soon as we walked in, saw a long line, every table was taken with people enjoying coffee, donuts and doing their lotto scratchers. Line moved quickly, but you definitely felt the pressure to know what you wanted when it was your turn. Prices are a bit cheaper than most donut shops in the bay area. While we only tried a Maple Bar, Raised Crumb and 3 dozen donut holes (under $10), I wanted to try so many of the other flavors. The Maple bar wasn't your traditional light brown color, it was more yellow which threw us off. The raised crumb had more flavor than other places that I've tried. Great consistency and fluff in the donuts. It appears they have a lot of self serve coffee options and a full wall of lotto scratchers. My in-laws would love it here since this is their thing.

    Queue more donuts and breakfast croissants.

    One of my co-workers recommended this place and I had tried their plain glazed donut and kid you not it was Amazing!!! So I had to drive Sunday morning ,35 miles away from my home to order the donuts and share them with my loved ones . Long queue for a Sunday, and it's a hit with the locals with lines out of the door. Service wise enough people were at the counter and quickly put my order together. The donuts are bigger than your regular size and aside from donuts and other pastries they do offer different breakfast croissants and various brews of coffee as well. Had to wait like 10 mins till I reached the counter for placements of donuts .

    Apple fritter & donut holes

    Reviews and looks can be deceiving:( I was so excited to try their apple fritter and donut holes but honestly they tasted very dry & like old oil even though I ordered in the morning.

    Huge glazed donut

    Key Points: - Casual East Bay Hidden Gem - Huge donuts and fritters - Very popular and busy Came here after a night shift to indulge my sweet tooth. Discovered it by looking up what was open in the early AM. Man, was I surprised to see how busy it was. I've lived in the East Bay for years and had never even heard of this place, yet it was packed by 7:30 AM on a weekend. Line out the door, but they move fast. While waiting, I chatted with a guy in front of me who's been coming here since he was a kid. Says he's 41 now and swears by their apple fritters. Yes, they're massive. Too big for me that morning, so I went with an original/plain glazed donut instead. These, two were huge, fluffy, and the inside seems to melt in your mouth. honestly one of the best donuts I've ever had. Coffee was surprisingly solid too. I usually go for single-origin pour overs, but when it comes to classic donut shop coffee, I enjoy flavors like hazelnut, which they had. Donut and coffee together, one of the greatest joys in life. Left satisfied and pleasantly surprised find his hidden gem (for me at least). Definitely planning to come back and try those fritters next time.

    This place is always popping! I don't care for donuts too much but I tried their breakfast sandwich and I love them! Literally they make them so hot and taste so good! I get an egg, bacon, cheese on a croissant sammy and it always hits. I appreciate how kind the staff is and the place seems relatively clean always! I highly recommend this place if you are in the area, it has quickly became a staple when I fly out of Hayward airport.

    Why is the glaze yellow?
    Haircare A.

    What i ordered was a glaze donut, an old fashioned donut and a crumb donut. The donuts were way too doughy. It's literally dense dough where I couldn't finish the donut. And they all had a slightly yellow tint to the donut whereas normally it's white... I did some research and it's imitation vanilla. Granted the donuts were cheap but unfortunately I'm still on the hunt for a good donut shop.

    A solid place to get your classic donuts fix - but double the size of any normal donut. These babies are DENSE and big! We got blueberry donuts (our favorite), crumb donut, peanut glazed, regular glazed (classic), maple bar (great), and the biggest apple fritter known to mankind (amazing). This place was filled with people during lunch on a weekday with a few scratching away at lottery tickets. Would return!

    My husband and I were craving good donuts. A friend recommended World's Fare Donuts. The donuts are pretty big. We ended up buying half a dozen of donuts. Overall, we will come back. They do have sandwiches and other items.

    It's been awhile since I've been to Worlds fair. Used to go a lot when Kelly and Andy ran it,and hasn't missed a step since Andy's nephew took over. Donuts are still the best in Hayward in my opinion,and sandwiches are big and tasty!

    Assortment and donut holes
    Angeli S.

    I've been searching for a good donut spot to keep coming back to since Castrovalley donuts closed down a year or so ago.. and world's fare comes pretty close to it. Line was out the door! But it moved pretty quickly. Lots of options to choose from. These donuts are HUGE! They're really soft and fluffy. We ordered about a half dozen donuts and half dozen donut holes. I think my one complaint with the donut holes is that it tasted pretty doughy.. it wasn't light at all. The breakfast sandwich was decent.. the croissant didn't seem as buttery and flakey as it should be.. but it was bad. Can't complain about the rest of the donuts. Good sweetness and with all the fluffiness of the donut itself it made it even more delicious.

    I've been craving donuts for a while now and decided to find a good place to grab some 'real' donuts. Not Krispy Kreme or Dunkin Donuts, but big fluffily donuts that melt in your mouth. World's Fare Donuts delivered on that! They offer super-sized donuts that come in different flavors, toppings and styles. The ladies behind the counter helped us immediately. One of them boxed the donuts while the other made our sweet and delicious drinks. The pricing here is great. While inflation has made everything expensive, the donuts and drinks are priced really fairly. Good spot to come and get filled up for not a lot of money.

    Bought a little bit of everything to Tri and everything was really yummy. Tried for the first time that Ube donut and it was so good. Definitely a must service was fast. Servers were pleasant and it was such an enjoyable experience. It was my first time and they gave me donuts to try on the spot Place was super busy but very organized and clean one can tell by walking in that it is a local favorite spot --now our family's.

    Is World's Fare Donuts under new management? I feel that the dough is different and the donuts are not as they used to be?

    They do have new ownership and the new owners are trash. They want to serve the bare minimum for a higher price. Plus the dough is not the same. I stopped going there tbh. Not the same quality nor service.

    Are they still open during the Shelter In Place?

    Yes! Just came there hour ago.

    Any vegan option?

    I don't believe so. They do make smoothies

There were a few people in line and it did take about 10 minutes before we were able to order. During that time, some of the malasada flavors ran out, but they were quickly replenished. We grabbed an assortment of flavors, an iced oat latte, and a black sesame latte. The banana creme brulee malasada looked so good that we had to try it in the store while waiting for our drinks. The dough is so soft and pillowy with a crispy layer of bruleed sugar and a delicious banana cream that was absolutely to die for. At $6.50, it's not a cheap treat, but it was super delicious and I'm glad we tried it. The drinks were also great. The espresso shot they pulled perfectly complemented the oat milk -- this is one of the better iced oat lattes I've had. We tried the black sesame latte because it sounded interesting and it was so creamy and loaded with black sesame flavor. For anyone that doesn't drink caffeine, I highly recommend you try the black sesame latte. With such great quality malasadas and drinks, it's no wonder there was a line! We'll definitely be back!

There's no seating area inside the bakery, but there are some tables outside next to a water fountain. Of the times that I've been there, it's mostly empty and clean, and the trash bins are not overflowing. The donuts are absolutely delicious. The brioche donut is soft but holds the fillings in well. There's also a bit of crunch from the sugar on the outside of the donut. There's an ample amount of filling, so you get to taste the flavors. So far, my favorites are Irish cream, lemon blueberry, and banana cream. It is a bit messy to eat, so have napkins and a small plate to catch any sugar or filling that may fall out when you bite into it. We had their chocolate chip cookie. It looked like a big mound of baked dough. Overall, it was okay. I would easily skip this for the donuts instead. I haven't tried their coffees, but my daughter loves the hot chocolate, and I have been enjoying their calamansi juice. It's nice and tart, not too sweet. I have seen some savory options but have not tried them. I will be back to explore the menu.

    I was craving for some mochi donut and having seen this location being opened for some time I…read morewanted to come and check it out. When the opportunity presented itself, I came by today for the first time. The decor was mediocre but I was here for a take out order so my review will be strictly on the taste of the mochi donut itself. Mochi donut (Macha & Strawberry flavored) - 5 out of 5 They were fluffy and chewy in texture. Compared to your regular donut, it's just a different style of donut altogether. There is not actual mochi in the donut itself just a mental note. The sweetness wasn't overpowering which I liked and they're extremely fresh. Compared to the ones they offer in Osaka Marketplace, this one blows them out of the park. For any type of donuts, I general look for two things: 1. Are they fresh (if they aren't, you can generally tell from the dough being tougher if no other additives are placed in the dough) 2. The sugar toppings (If they place a heavier emphasis on sugar, I usually stay away since I'm more focused on the flavor instead) Service - 3 out of 5 The lady over the counter was a bit slow. She was on the phone when I came in and it took her about 10 minutes to finish her conversation before she was able to get to us. I think it was a phone order? It looked like she's the only person taking orders since the other workers saw us but kept on doing whatever they were doing. If you don't mind waiting a little like myself, it's a definite must try if you enjoy a chewier textured type of dough in your donuts or would just like to give a new type of donut a try. I don't usually judge too hard on the service staff in places like these since they're mostly mom and pop owned. Understand that when we come, they're just trying to do their best with what they've got is all we can ask for. Ultimately, the food takes home the win and Mochinut here did exactly that for me. They seemed to be Vietnamese owned since they sell other Vietnamese items here as well so keep that in mind. I'll definitely keep this place in mind when I'm feeling like a mochi donut again in the future!

I ended up throwing the the other two away because they were practically inedible. The service and professionalism has also taken a hit. 70% of the time the employees are in regular street clothes with no DD branding which is a bit odd. I'm talking sweatpants and a hoodie, tank top and jeans, etc. On top of that, they seem to be "hiding" in the back most of the time just talking. I usually have to get their attention and even then they seem hesitant to come help. Used to love this place but the obvious change of ownership has really taken it's toll.
