BEST donuts in town !!! Super fluffy ! They also bake great croissants! It's dangerous I live close to here

Decided to head to Dutch Bros in Martinez off Alhambra Ave and spotted a Doughnut place. It reminded me a lot of the doughnut spot I go to in Pinole. When I went it was not busy, they had a pretty good selection of doughnuts and they serve breakfast sandwiches and smoothies. They are nice people and greet you when you come in. It is a small place you can sit and have your food or coffee or take it to go. It's a nice mom and pop place that are open 5-1p and I support that. read more

Nothing like a fresh donut in the morning with ample choices. $10 min for credit card. Convenient parking for all the work trucks coming through in the morning. Alhambra is a bit busy to dash back across pending your commute. read more

Alhambra Donut & Deli - Apple Fritter for Mom. Sprinkles always for me and an old fashion. - Donuts Near Me - Martinez, California

It's been my go-to donut shop for the last few years. They are very reliable and deliver a consistent product. I'm a big fan of their yeast donut, cake donut, French donut as well as the croissants. Both my kids love the donut holes. Never had a breakfast sandwich or even tried the coffee so I don't have an opinion on that. The driveway to get into their parking lot is a bit narrow so be careful getting in and out as Alhambra can be a busy and fast road. read more

Love the variety and the team here! First visit and I was warmly greeted, and purchased a dozen fresh donuts and a small coffee. I was amazed on how large the croissants were I couldn't help but think maybe I want a sandwich, but I caved to the sweet nostalgia of fresh donuts in the morning. read more

My son wanted a donut,so we went here on the way to going to my sister's. This was around 10:30 am this morning. Everything started off pretty good, we ordered our donuts. My son got a sprinkled maple and I got cinnamon twist. We sat down and enjoying the donuts. After the family that was behind us was done and sat down. I started to hear a weird clicking sound. The young guy and girl were on their phones, not coming from them. I kept hearing it and it sounded like nails being clipped. The young girl and guy had left to go to the back and the sound kept happening. After we were done I grabbed all of our garbage and saw a trash bin next to the counter. As I'm putting the trash in the bin, I look over to see what that sound was. What I saw made me sick. The older lady was clipping her toe nails behind the counter not too far from where the donuts were. So disgusting! Not coming her again! read more

Friendly staff and great eats, definitely would come back. Food was prepared quickly, fresh and ready in no time. Enjoyable ambiance, very quaint and clean. read more

Super nice people, delicious donuts, and the biggest croissants I've ever seen. Great local spot when the other good donut place is closed on Sundays (what the heck, Sunrise Donuts?) read more

Alhambra Donut & Deli - Breakfast sandwich menu - Donuts Near Me - Martinez, California

We were staying overnight at a motel 6, next door. Had to catch an early morning train. Their donuts, croissants(incredible) and coffee were delicious. I only wish they were closer to us. read more

I haven't even gotten home to taste for food yet, but I was excited to come in here and try this donut place because I always pass by. I came in today and ordered breakfast sandwiches and then some donut holes and an old-fashioned donut, the lady behind the counter must've been tired or something because she was extra rude with me. And then when she went to ring me up, the total clearly said $32 and then for some reason after I handed her 40 she said the total was $40.70. She gave me a nasty attitude about it struck me off when I tried to give her the extra $.70 but told her that I was confused for just two dollars She raised your Voice to show me a receipt. I will never come back here or do this here again. No matter how good the food might taste when I get home. I really think that I left the sour taste in my mouth. Period. There are other donut, shops, and many other places to get a breakfast sandwich. I don't ever have to step in here ever again. read more

My son and I stopped in for the first time a few months ago on the way to school and we stop by weekly now. Doughnuts are amazing and my son loved the bacon egg and cheese croissant. We're regulars now! read more

A very solid donut shop in the East Bay. It's a must if you're by Martinez.

Staff was wearing masks and very friendly read more

Very simple business. Food was very good staff were very friendly. Definitely for a delicious doughnut or sandwich please give them a visit.

Great shop for donuts and other pastries. Also, their croissant sandwiches are good, also. Service is always great. Has a deli kind of ambiance. Highly recommend. read more

My friend has been raving about Alhambra Donut & Deli's Ham & Cheese for a while. And when the opportunity presented, I ordered one as well. The unassuming sandwich is indeed delicious because of its honest to goodness ingredients. Do not let the squished croissant fool you, the bread is yummy. I added my go to curlers as well. I swear, these Mom & Pop shops have a certain flavor none of the giant donut shops can replicate. read more

Small little location that has been in Martinez for a long time. They have a large variety of fresh donuts every day and the prices are excellent. If you'd like a cup of coffee and something to drink they have that as well. They also make Breakfast sandwiches. Is can get busy at times but the service is pretty fast! read more

Alhambra Donut & Deli - Donuts Near Me - Martinez, California

Ill always pick this place over the other donut places in the area due to the taste. The location is convenient for me. The service is good.

Everything looked pretty fresh. Donuts were good. There is a minimum of $4 in order to use your debit card. Owner encouraged cash, but I just let her know to charge me $4 instead of the $2 I owed for my donut. She said "thanks for the tip" I always like to support local businesses. Inside could be cleaner. But would definitely give them another chance. read more

Alhambra Donut & Deli - Not a chocolate covered coconut donut meh it's a sorry Charlie you showed up at 9 think you're going to get a chocolate one nope ma'am - Donuts Near Me - Martinez, California

A small family owned donut shop. Service was slow to very slow at best...maybe because they use family workers. I ordered 12 special bagels. 4 ham and cheese bagel, 4 bacon, ham and cheese bagel and 4 sausage and cheese bagel. When she heard how many she had to make, her face dropped and she told me it was going a be a while. I told her it was okay. As she was making my orders, a couple of customers came in. The cook didn't even come out to help. After a few minutes, she told the customer that was was making a big order; so it'll be awhile. After waiting about 10 minutes, he left. Then a nurse, it's near a hospital, came in for some donuts. Again she told her it's was going to be awhile but instead called for the cook, to come out and help. After about 30-35 minutes, she was done with my order...9 bagels. Yes, she forgot the other 3 sausage cheese bagels...maybe on purpose. I found out when she read out the order while ringing me up. I told her she forgot the 3 bagels but decided to forget about them after she made the "whew" sign. Every time I drive by this place, it seem dark and dreary making it look like it's closed...but it won't be a next time. read more

I love being personally recommended to go somewhere or to try something from people I know or from people on social media. This was one of the spots I got shown through here on Yelp from a person I follow. Coming here from Pittsburg is super easy. Just take the 4 down, go down the Alhambra exit, turn right, and this donut deli will be on the right just a few feet from the Chase. There's a big green sign propped up too! Parking looks small, and is a bit tricky to get in and out of, but there's more often than not a space left to be filled. Inside is very clean. There are a couple of tables in there. All of them spread apart that way you could stretch any limb without bothering a fellow guest. The service is prompt and kind. They talk to you. They are polite. They are efficient and get what you ask them to do done just mere seconds after you had asked them what you wanted. No restrooms! So don't ask. They sell a bunch of stuff. I spotted the normal array of donuts that other donut shops have. They got croissants. fritters, and sandwiches that you could use sliced bread or bagels. They got tea and coffee, There's a compartment with juice, soda, and water. They sell gum too! Price range wise they sell their donuts the same as any other donut shops. Prices are still pretty reasonable. I caught on early that you can only use card for purchases $4 and over. OF COURSE. I swear I need to start bringing cash. My eyes then spotted something that I could hardly resist. They had smoothies with pearl. The flavors went from Coconut to Honey Dew to Taro. If a place has anything with pearl or baba you can count on it that I would try it. I purchased the taro pearl with half a dozen donut holes. Donut holes: tasty. A bunch of sweetness to it. Taro Pearl: I loved the tapioca so damn much. It has to be my favorite tapioca spots I have ever had the planet. It was the right amount of sweetness and Icould really taste the taro. Also the tapioca was marvelous. I was given such a generous amount that I didn't run out. Fantastic stuff! (4.5/5 for the minimum purchase deal, but I put 5/5 because I round up!) read more

This is the best kept secret in town and around for donuts! The owners are so friendly like family! It's very quaint and their homemade croissants melt in your mouth! Get there earlier than later to get the best choice of delectable goodies! read more

Food was mediocre but customer service was awful, very rude lady working there and flies throughout the restaurant and in donut display cases and smells like a locker room, won't be eating here again and would discourage a trip here read more

This simple and unassuming donut shop right by the freeway on Alhambra makes some of the best croissant sandwiches I have had. I love the ham and cheese croissant!! I think the secret is the "Swiss American" cheese which I have only seen in major bulk at Smart & Final. I've tried to recreate these at home, but it's not the same without that cheese! They also make donuts fresh each day, never too oily and consistently good. I'm partial to the blueberry cake donut. Yum! They are no hipster donut shop and don't pretend to be, just a small locally owned shop that produces good quality donuts. I would highly recommend giving them a try if you're in the area read more

Alhambra Donut & Deli - Ham & cheese croissant $3.75 - Donuts Near Me - Martinez, California

I have been coming here for a long time now, they are so in holding some donuts that my kids. I really appreciate their kindness and more people should try them out. read more

I sometimes stop here in the morning on the way to work. Donuts are not really the best nutritional choice, but there's nothing like coffee and a good donut in the morning to start your day. Maybe that's why I spend so much time at Tim Horton's when I'm in Canada. This place is a solid 3 stars for this genre. It is run by a nice, friendly family that provides good service and tasty donuts. I also sometimes run into some retirees and other community members that I know. This shop is also a convenient turn off Alhambra Avenue with ample parking. read more

I'm not one for eating out for breakfast. But I was a little hungry from yesterday, Yelpers say that this place is pretty good, and I haven't written a review in a while :-) So off I go. It remains strange to walk into a restaurant or deli and be the only customer there. That's what happened to me. Of course, it was a late Sunday morning, so what do I expect? I typically have a donut, but decided to be a little different and get a croissant instead. Ham & Cheese, to be specific. Ham, cheese, and bread, heated up, that's all. But that's all you need to make a delicioso, filling breakfast. And they did it just right. Or you can add egg or bacon to your sandwich for a higher price, maybe I will next time. Bacon is the perfect food, y'know. Cute, small place a minute's drive from Freeway 4. A few tables to sit at to enjoy your donut and coffee. Pleasant staff. The neighborhood breakfast & lunch spot in a mature community, where you'll probably find those who come here regularly on schedule. Martinez, north of the trestle, has a unique vibe that Alhambra Donut & Deli fits right into. I'll need to return some time, that huge cinnamon roll and apple fritter are calling to me. read more

I would definitely go back I had ham and cheese croissant it was heated up and that was very good.. a good size one too.. I had a regular donut glazed and a maple donut both were good I recommend trying their donuts, service was very good read more

This is a late review...but back in July of this year I stopped by this shop for coffee, donuts, and a breakfast sandwich. I paid with my ATM card and later that day I was reviewing my bank statement and saw a fraudulent charge of $80+ that followed my purchase at the donut shop for some nutritional supplements. Being an LEO at the time, I did a little investigation that revealed that the person who used my ATM card lived in AZ and then discovered through FB that the donut shop owner was associated with the person who made the purchase. So in short...if you need a donut fix shop elsewhere unless you want you bank account used for fraudulent purchases. Fuk that place. read more

Been here only once because I was in the mood for donuts. It is right across the car wash on Alhambra street. There is a lot of parking for this small shop - which isn't a bad thing. The area itself is pretty big inside , mainly because there isn't much inside. It was really quite and when I walked in I thought nobody was working at the time. This Middle aged women came up and took my order. Pretty quiet and didn't say much. Got my order and drink and left. Was sort if an awkward experience but whatever. Ate the donut and it tasted pretty good but lacked some flavor. Also later that evening I had a tummy ache , most likely from the donut. Will not come back to this place. read more

You know we been going here for a long time their donuts is the best hand down I usually always get the glazed donut then I started to get a bag of donut holes been doing this for a couple three years it's our Sunday drive stop anyhow today after all these years I writing a review because it's the first time I ordered a croissant sandwich ham and cheese I told her been seeing people order this all the time never tried it wow it was great they warm it up it's a excellent croissant sandwich next I will try the bacon and egg and cheese croissant anyway if you are around the area stop by you won't be sorry read more

I've been going to this place for years. Their donuts are fluffy, and the croissant sandwiches are amazing.

My search for the world's worst croissant is over. Imagine a loaf of undercooked white bread shaped like a giant croissant that only dreamed of butter. Mouth feels, after two bites, like I have been eating greasy fast food read more

This place has been here for ages, and it's survived for a reason. Bask in the light of the buttermilk donut and ye shall be saved. The apple fritters, the maple bars, all the pastries here are top notch. We were sad to see it close briefly during the shelter in place order, but we're happy to see them back! Please understand this is a donut JOINT. This is not a glamorous sit-down place. This is not an artisan sandwich shop. This is a place where you grab your coffee, pastries, sandwich, etc. and go. Come with cash and a tip if your purchase is under the card limit - easy! Get there early because they do sell out. There's no way to compare these to any of the other local donut shops. Special hours have been set as of June 2020. They are posted on the front door as well. Sometimes they will close at most a half hour earlier than these set closing times. They sell out quick and they want people to enjoy the fresh-baked goods ASAP! Given the times we're living in right now, it's worth it to show up early and support this family-owned business. Mon-Fri: 5 AM - 2 PM Sat: 5 AM - 1 PM Sun: Closed read more

I've passed by this place numerous times but it always looked closed (found out today they close at 1:00) so it actually was closed. Had a meeting down the street today and I was early so decided to stop in and grab a donut and coffee when I walked in it was about 6 people sitting around having coffee and 4 of them looked at me as to say "what are you doing here" I didn't really care about that - I see the coffee counter so I go over keeping my distance in case someone else wants coffee while I'm deciding which blend I want then a man stands next to me (a regular there) as soon as I get a cup he squeezes in my space to get a cup and pour his coffee I'm thinking you had time and space why move now (strike 2 for this place) lastly, I get my coffee and ask for a donut the lady was not friendly at all well at this point I'm thinking forget everything and just go but no I'm going to continue with my visit they have a sign that's right in your face that says .75 charge for card if you don't make the limit the lady sees my card and before she did anything she lets me know there is a charge in a snippy tone I tell her I see the sign ok that's fine - she rang me up asking did I want a receipt I said yes she huffed and gave me my receipt I'm not sure what her problem was as well as the customers with me being there but I will never go back there again it's totally a neighborhood spot and not friendly to others everyone coming and going looked at me as if I should have not been there. Had I not had a meeting to attend I would have addressed the dry donut and poor service. It may be for some there just not for me.. read more

Thieir croissants are amazing! We go here every now and then for breakfast. I recommend their ham and cheese croissants. Usually I go for just plain, but I can't say no to their ham and cheese. Their glazed donuts are amazing as well. Not to sweet like other chain donut shops. read more

First time in today.Good variety of donuts and friendly staff! The apple fritters and old fashioned maple were decadent. Definitely will be back to try the ham and cheese croissant. read more

I live right in the area and have passed by this place for 6 years before I went in. Why? I am not a huge donut fan and I am not interested in wasting my calories. That being said, I came in the door a few months ago and was impressed by the quality and freshness of the product. I have been in several times since. They have one of the best maple bars around. Light and fluffy with a great icing. The cake donuts are great as well. What did I learn today? They also serve taro pearl drinks. read more

Very friendly ppl and they remember their usual customers. Love their croissants and donuts. Donuts are very soft and can keep them for a week and still soft. Great customer service. read more
