Donut King Pleasanton Reviews
Wonderful family run donut shop. Staff is super friendly and donuts are always really fresh.
Very delicious homemade donuts here. They are light and fluffy, great for a quick breakfast.
Great service reasonable price.
THE BEST DONUT PLACE AROUND!! LOVE THE OWNERS AND STAFF.
Always has a good selection of donuts. Very pleasant and helpful staff.
Yesssss! Best donuts, sweetest owners. This place is an absolute gem. Love this place.
Love these donuts! They are always fresh and plentiful. They don't have any crazy style donuts, but theirs are very light and fluffy. Their prices are also very cheap. You have to pay in cash if your order is less that $5, which is the case if you only buy a few.
Absolutely, hands down the best donut shop i have ever been to. Their donuts are so soft and fresh.
This is the best old-school donut shops! Fresh made donuts and pastries - original tables and chairs from 30 years ago, and that is perfect. Owners are super nice. You need to go here - love their Farmer Brothers coffee!
First of all the place was clean and neat, the owner was super friendly and cool. The donuts simply great, flavors are way better than any Krispy Kreme or Dunkin’ Donuts. With this Covid thing, the entrance and exit doors are different so you don’t cross path with other customers.
The BEST donuts in Pleasanton, without a doubt. I’ve been coming here since I was a kid; the staff is always lovely and the variety and quality of donuts are unparalleled. My one complaint is the store always smells like cleaning product, but I guess that’s just a testament to how clean they keep it.
Among the best donuts that I’ve had. When my parents visit from out of state, they look forward to coming here. Always fresh.
I wish I could give more than five stars. These donuts are super fresh and melt in your mouth delicious. This donut spot is super friendly and welcoming and we absolutely love coming here. Very safe Covid protections and we feel very safe here. Thank you all so much!
My manager buys me donuts from here, and they are so good that I've repeatedly asked where they come from. Had one today and it was so fresh and good it made my whole day. It wasn't dense, it was light and fluffy. I live nearby, so this is going to be my go-to place now that I know where it is.
Always, never fail, yummy donuts! The Donut King Family is always greeting all their guest with a warm inviting welcome. Very clean kitchen and dining area, my family and I will alway come to The Donut King for our donut selections. 🤗
This is the best place to get light, fluffy, truly delicious donuts. The people here provide thoughtful and gracous service.
Fresh donuts daily and super friendly family owners
They always have fresh donuts allday long. Great varieties. Cute mom and pop shop with their son, always very friendly. They take debit and credit as well as cash.
Truly the best doughnuts! I get at 5am just so I can get them still warm bc they literally melt in your mouth!! But they are just as good at 2 in the afternoon!!
Wonderful doughnuts, the best in northern California...the family owned business is charming, kind and I always enjoy my visits there. I'm a professional baker and I can say the doughnuts here are fantastic.
Great doughnuts, coffee, but my favorite here is their ham and cheese croissants. Man they're the best fresh hot n melty I love em..
My family has gone here for a very long time and as a result, we get a couple free donut holes every time we visit. The business is family-run and the prices are cheap for good donuts.
Family-owned & operated, great donuts & coffee. A few booths & a little outdoor seating. Had a wonderful apple fritter there.
Great selection of donuts helpful friendly family owned and operated, there is seating inside and outside always enjoyed every visit here.
This I heard and got an glazed and chocolate and strawberry food was good and employee was good
We love Donut King! Some of the friendliest shop owners anywhere, and delicious donuts, muffins, ham and cheese croissants, and hot coffee!
Consistently great donuts whether you want 1 or 100! Family operated for many years!
It’s delicious donuts 🍩 and very friendly staff.
My dad used to bring me here as a kid and now I bring my kids. These doughnuts are the best in Pleasanton! I have tried other establishments in the area that are closer over the years but there is no beating the taste, selection and service.
Delicious fresh donuts, nice people and clean store! Better come early in the morning 'cause popular kinds would be sold out later the day.
My kids and I love the Donut King! The donuts are always fresh and beautiful. And the owners are nice and friendly! Can’t wait to go back again. It’s a great treat for the kids. They love seeing all the donuts on display.
Nice, freshly made donuts. Gotta come early or get there fast because they frequently run out of stock well before closing hour.
Nice environment! Great location! Easy to stop by! Great donuts and coffee!

We've been to this place twice now & they have a large selection of delicious donuts. We tried their glazed doughnuts, lemon filled powdered sugar doughnut, chocolate doughnuts with chocolate frosting & sprinkles, chocolate doughnut with vanilla frosting & sprinkles, & a chocolate crueller. They were all delicious! 😋🍩 We will definitely come back & try some of their other doughnuts in the future!
Donut King in my opinion is prob hands down one of the better tasting if not the best tasting donuts in all of the East Bay!! I've said this statement for the longest time. And the staff is always so very friendly. They are a family based business typically a husband n wife duo that are working the early morning shift the times I can recall going in there to buy donuts!! You won't find better tasting donuts in all of the Tri Valley-East Bay! I promise you that!!🍩🥯🥛
This is a family owned and operated business. They have a good selection of donuts. Nothing too fancy, just good old fashioned donuts and family friendly service.
I've been getting donuts here for over 15 years, since I was a little kid. The donuts are delicious and fresh, and the owners are incredibly kind and friendly. Prices are great and it is run by good people; I don't go anywhere else for donuts.
I always stop in on Saturday mornings on my way to visit my FiL. Bear claw for him, apple fritter for me and a few dozen donut holes for the nursing staff. Everyone happily eats them up.
Classic mom and pop donut shop - fast, consistent, and convenient. In my opinion, their normal glazed are particuarly much better than most other donut shops. Apple fritters are my go-to, and they have been consistently good, too. Without a doubt, this place is better than any big chain alternatives They have a very large variety and unlikely to run out in early hours.
Grabbed some donuts last week because I was craving something sweet! Accidentally left my phone near the register. Didn’t noticed until I got home. Drove back and saw they put my cell phone behind the counter, nice and safe! Good people. Good donuts.
I discovered this place by coincidence. Own by very nice couple. I got donuts for my husband and son. The donuts are awesome. My favorite is croissant. The prices are very reasonable. I like this place because they open early and not open all day. That tell me their donuts are fresh everyday. Will definitely come back again.
The best fluffiest most delicious donuts!! I may be biased since I came here often as a kid, so to me Donut King is what I compare all donuts to. Every time I come here I am never disappointed. My favorite are the donut holes, glazed twist and maple bars. I have ordered a large variety to share with friends/family and everyone always gobbles them up. I love Donut King!
Hard to want to get doughnuts anywhere else after being here - this has become our go-to doughnut shop! Very friendly staff, and excellent fare. We've only had the croissants and doughnuts and haven't had a single one that hasn't been delicious.
Excellent donuts, nice service

Very straight forward donut shop, the attendant was very friendly and prompt, the donuts and croissants were delish!👍 didn’t try the coffee but it smelled great in there lol. I will return when I’m in this area.
Black coffee always hot, kids love to get some donuts on weekends, very delicious
Best donuts in the city. And I like the little older lady behind the counter she reminds me of my grandma
This is a great family owned donut shop. These donuts are not too greasy and they have a great variety to choose from. Favorite has got to be the chocolate raised and a custard filled chocolate bar.
