Anchors San Jose Reviews
Yummy, fresh donuts! 🍩 • My aunt and I got our donuts here early morning so they were really fresh and delicious! • The school staff enjoyed all the flavors we got! • Staff were nice and accommodating • Would definitely come back and try their fritters!
5-stars, for sure! Delicious donuts just like I remember as a kid when we’d visit. Everything you can imagine, too! Jelly filled, glazed, custard, chocolate, coconut and sprinkles. Great options! Everyone here was super friendly too!
02/04/2026 update - still great place but trying the sandwiches today. Turns out you can get them for dinner as well. Really great donuts, always have what we want in stock. Very large options for affordable prices, they also have a large variety of good options (not the crazy weird flavors). Staff is really nice, love that they are always open, place is clean, and they have a good parking lot size. Much better than Krispy cream.
OMG Best! Place! Ever!!!! wow I found this place by accident and I am so damn happy. It's open 24 hours, it's clean, there's restrooms, coffee, juices, Icees, breakfast sandwhiches/ burritos/melts, and lunch sandwiches/melts, and also fresh fruit. All that with super friendly and helpful staff. Red Bulls less than $3 - cheaper than anywhere else and they have fresh juices too. oh my God I'm in love with this place. Seriously.. Maria helped me and she's been there two years and was the best- so helpful! I ordered the Chipotle breakfast sandwich and I added avocado and ham, with a guava pineapple raspado to go with it. Raspado is an Icee drink - shaved ice with real fruit and the first part of 'drinking" it requires a spoon because it doesn't melt until a little while into it. I am so in heaven right now and I cannot believe it's open 24 hours. I am an Uber driver and I'm always trying to find a good place that's not greasy fast food where I can incorporate using the restroom with getting some snacks or meals and is good food. And to be honest I haven't found it except here. The doors stay open all night! This is going to be my new Uber favorite.. I already added it to my favorites menu on google maps. Did I mention how happy I am? oh my God I'm so happy. And the prices are better than reasonable for everything you get. highly recommed.
Can't leave Cali without going to YumYums!!!! Best Donuts, Fresh Bagels Sandwiches, Amazing Smoothies! And an Awesome Staff to go with it! When they Remember Me, it makes me happy! And they always Remember their Customers!

Seriously amazing donuts!! Great selection, super nice staff!
The place was spotless, the staff was friendly, and the donuts were absolutely delicious. Three donuts, and only $5.41. Affordable! I’m going to tell my church to order your donuts, actually all Sillivon companies should support this business. Please don’t forget about this place!
Clean place. 3 people working at 3 am. Quiet, nice, plenty of parking at 3 am. Great food. Great coffee. Appreciate good coffee at any time. They speak Spanish also. A plus in my book. Considering that our original Constitution calls for a bilingual state. Love Yum Yum.
So my visit was at around 1:30am in the morning so service was at minimum staff. The store was very clean and the donuts tasted great. There was a few customers there and each one of them was attended to and had they're orders filled promptly.
The donuts were perfect. Not too sweet. Sandwiches were great as well.

Yummy, yum, yum. The creme filled doughnut nuggets sprinkled with powdered sugar are absolutely delightful. Colorful, fun assortment of doughnuts to gloat at. The best carrot cake cupcakes ever but, they are rarely available. Good coffee and also serves sandwiches and smoothies/juices. It's never too late for another breakfast.
Recently discovered this chain and dare I say, it's better than krispy kreme?! The doughnuts are perfectly fried and glazed. I usually get the classics- sugar glaze, chocolate, and with sprinkles. They also have pizza bagel for that quick breakfast/pizza craving. 😋 The juices are also fresh. My favorite is a freshly squeezed orange juice. One bad experience was that they mixed up and order, but don't think they have a bad option here. Definitely gonna try more menu items, especially since they're open 24/7. IG: @thefoodhigh

First time. I wasn't impressed with the reuben sandwich. It was cooked very well, dry and way oily. I would probably come back and try the cold sandwiches. Donuts looked delicious, though.
Open 24 hours. A lot of variety for a dessert place open 24 hours. Service was good, it’s a cozy spot to do a quick pick up. Must try 🍩 Raspberry Filled Glazed Maple Chocolate Hot Chocolate 🍫 Jalapeño cheese croissant 🥐
Wow.. so I guess you don’t get what you pay for anymore.. receipt wasn’t itemized out either.. maybe a tablespoon of jelling in the jelly Donut, the maple Was so small and the blu Has zero flavor. $6.00 for 3 donuts.. I don’t know, Stans is a much better and more delicious donut and their price is better!! Oh and these 3 donuts are on a desert plate.. so tiny.. Won’t be returning. Oh and their employees speak no English..
Donuts are great! And very awesome that they’re open 24 hours for those late night cravings, but they need major upgrades. Most of their machines are obviously outdated and dirty with grime. Their iced coffee tasted like the previous day’s coffee. They microwave most of their breakfast bagels, which is understandable, but those microwaves have seen better days. If the owner were to invest in newer appliances, this place would definitely benefit from it.

Giant donut from yum yum donuts. They lose 3 stars because she tried to take someone else's order first who came in after me and he told her to take my order first. What a gentleman.

I have always said yum yum makes the best donuts, and I have been having donuts from this location since I was a little kid. however recently, the quality is inconsistent. the donuts are either over fried and crunchy, way too oily, or both crunchy and oily. not the big fluffy donuts i have expected all my life when coming here. not sure if they’ve hired new people or what but it’s become such a disappointment. please get it together, and stop messing this up. I wanted my child to grow up with these donuts too but at this rate we are gonna have to find a new tradition to start.

It was our second experience with yum yum donuts We tried donuts there and they tasted pretty good but the next day i was packing snack for my kid and I found a bug in the donut the one with sprinkles. I have a video too trying to see what is that but I can’t upload a video here

Honestly for 9:30am on a weekday I would expect a much better selection than what they had available, given their 4 workers it seems they are geared more toward other breakfast foods than donuts apparently. I purchased 2 of everything so I could quickly fill up my box and get out of there. To me definitely did not seem fresh as a couple hours later they were all soft and doughy which I'm used to seeing in day old baked goods. Coffee tasted less than average and the size/pricing chart is ridiculous. Small is 30cents less than extra large, all being over 2$ regardless. Overall unhappy with my experience and will not be returning.
Avoid... simply avoid this place. Rude service bad food, and really dirty eating area.
They let people sit in their car outside listening to whatever they are listening to LOUDLY! I live close so I don’t get any sleep in the mornings at all! They let people dig in the dumpster all hours of the night! And the yell profanities when they are digging in the dumpster! At least I hope that wasn’t an employee!
