Donuts were fresh and delicious. I will be back. Location was safe and convenient. Building was outdated. But, the service was great.

Yummy hole-in-the-wall donut shop! I always love these mom/pop type of donuts than Dunkins or Krispy Kreme. Visited Bascom Donuts after getting some coffee at Philz and it hit the spot. The lady that helped us was very nice and gave us three donuts instead of just the two we ordered. :) The donuts were not greasy and were fluffy. I'll be back to try other flavors since they had a limited selection on Saturday at noon. read more

Happen to be driving by and a donut sounded great. Walked in and staff immediately greeted me (you don't have that happen too often anymore). Very sweet staff and the donut was great. She even threw an extra one in. My new favorite donut shop. Other store employees should go in the there and see what customer service looks like. read more

Great Donuts and service. Great location. Great choices of donuts. Nice staff. Good hours. Prompt and fast service. They make tasty breakfast and lunch sandwiches as well. The staff are friendly and go out of their way to please customers. If you love great fresh donuts, come try this small Family owned non-franchise donut shop. You wont regret it! read more

We love this place! They consistently have the freshest donuts and amazing service. The store has the old school donut shop feel, and is incredibly clean and well stocked with coffee and a fridge full of beverages. The staff are always smiling and get to know their regular customers. Get here early on the weekends before your favorites sell out! read more

Upon my arrival I was warmly greeted by two very nice ladies who seem to be preparing for the day. I was a bit indecisive about what I wanted but the both ladies were patient with me. One lady took my order and also prepared my breakfast sandwich, While the other lady nicely helped other customers that came in. I ordered the #2 (turkey egg and cheese on a croissant) small coffee and French chocolate doughnut. My total was $12.50. The sandwich was good and different, it's usually yellow cheese but this one had I think white American which was good. Also when I looked in my bag the lady added extra doughnut holes the ambiance was very clean, the windows were clean and also the glass where the treats were. The coffee stations were also clean and stocked. read more

6:15 am early morning dropping off a patient at Bascom Surgery Center. I needed a hot cup of coffee and perhaps a donut. I saw this shop across the streets as I pulled out of the Surgery Center. So convenient, and I was delighted to know that they were open and already had so many freshly baked donuts and hot coffee selections brewed and ready to go. The two elder ladies behind the counter were warm and hospitable. I bought a coffee and two donuts. I was happy to see a couple of extra donut holes in my bag as I checked out, just because--what a pleasant and sweet gesture. I was gracious. They have a great location with ample lighting, excellent service, a good donut selection, and good coffees. We need one of these models on every neighborhood corner. Keep up the great work! read more

Such a cozy shop with a vintage feel. I wanted 2 donuts and 2 croissants. I picked chocolate custard and maple donuts. The sweet lady threw in a glazed nut donut for free. Very generously sized donuts and croissant. Local business. Recommend!! read more

So I've been here a few times and the place always seems clean and the staff is friendly. However, the donuts are just average. Not a bad thing, but not a reason to go out of your way either. Just a regular, neighborhood donut shop. Using my standard donuts as a rating...the maple bar had a nice thick coating but could have more maple flavor. The jelly and cinnamon roll were very average. The jelly filling was slightly better than most but the dough part not so much. Probably wouldn't go here again unless I was craving donuts and I was in the nearby area. read more

Delicious donuts!! There were 2 really nice ladies working. They gave me extra, it must be slow these days. Bless their kindness! I left them tip for making my day! I used to work in food service so business must be slow these days... support small businesses!!! So many are closing, don't let this one close! read more

Bascom Donuts - Delicious donuts!! - Donuts Near Me - San Jose, California

Great service, friendly staff. Care about their community. Been frequenting this facility for years.

The friendliest service I've experienced w any donut shops. They are also very reasonably priced.

My son and I went to try this place out. We ordered about 6 donuts and an apple fritter to try out the variety of donuts. We arrived home and cut a few of them up to share. Our family favorite was the ube donut. The ube donut is rich purple color and sweet but not to sweet. A few of the donuts were just way to sweet like the smores donut, but i can understand the appeal. Why four stars, the donuts had good texture and variety. They were good even the following day, they didn't feel like day old donuts. I would go again. Recommendation, go early. We went about 9am and there was a line and not a ton of variety. Looked like some stuff had already run out. read more

Rough outside and semi tight parking lot but the service was fast and friendly, and the donuts were fresh, sweet and delicious. They do take credit cards. I got a sugar twist donut and glazed and my friend got a glazed and raspberry jelly filled. She didn't like the raspberry jelly filled - said it was a little too much and slightly sour but we loved the other donuts. Very tasty, soft, and light. They even threw in some donut holes for free. A very welcome surprise when we got home. Will definitely be back! read more

Bascom Donuts - the outside of a donut shop - Donuts Near Me - San Jose, California

Just have to say the best donut shop, of all in San Jose great customer service. The ambience is amazing. The owner is just a wonderful person family own business and it's just nice to be welcomed and treated with such amazing service in this day and age. Thank you we appreciate you. Keep up the good work. read more

friendly service and the donuts are so good, my favorite is the french in all three flavors

This is a good stand-by for when I am feeling too lazy to drive to my favorite donut store. First, there is no line anxiety because it's almost like a cafeteria, too narrow for weirdos to come in at all angles. Fast service. A few notes: pour-your-own-coffee, nothing apple-filled (bummer), cool blueberry cake donuts, and the jelly is tart and not too sweet. My third favorite donut store in the area. read more

Great donuts which I love but let me get this straight. I come for the ham and cheese croissants. I buying these things for 20 years. I get like a dozen of them and have brought them to different job sites i have worked over the years. It never fails in the fact the guys on the crew hound me to bring more in for the next week. I have had people bring in ham and cheesers from other donut shops. Not even close. Try them one time. You'll be back. Its like crack. read more

Went here for the first time today to try out donuts. Good donuts, good price, very courteous employees. Will come here again. read more

This place rocks! Ham and cheese croissant is so so good, even cold! Donuts are amazing and don't have that waxy or weird oil taste. The very kind woman always puts in either donut holes or bonus donuts (like I need them, but I eat them, you betcha). It has ample parking (except when busy, lol - but people are quick in and out). I stopped going to donut shops long ago, but this is next to my dentist (how ironic is that ;). When we go to the dentist, which is more often than we'd like, we treat ourselves to Bascom Donuts. read more

Great family owned business. Good people. Definitely recommend. Donuts are always fresh and the breakfast sandwiches are tadtu.

Still open during SIP! Love this family owned business. Great donuts, even better donut holes, and lots of coffee flavors to choose from. No specialty coffees like lattes though, but that's ok, I like black coffee too :) read more

I owed my roommate donuts, and this place has been on my to try list for about 3 years. So I finally made my way over here. We got 4 donuts to split: 1) Glazed old fashion - nice taste. as expected. 2) Crumb - this had a great cake texture. lots of cinnamon in the crumb mix. This was probably my favorite. 3) Maple Bar - good raised doughnut texture. The maple layer was thinner than other places, but I liked it. Not too sweet. 4) Frosted Cake doughnut - cute, colorful and sweet. Texture was in between raised and cake. I liked the texture. My roommate really liked this one. I think this was her favorite. Staff was nice. Threw in some doughnut holes with my purchase. 4 donuts was $4.80. This also had egg croissants that smelled amazing. I was looking for a vegetarian one on the menu, but didn't see any. No veggie option. Not even just simple egg and cheese. They all had meat... So I skipped out and just got donuts. Kind of sad.. that was my only complaint. Donuts were good. read more

I tried this place for the first time on a Friday. I got there at 10am and I was helped immediately. They have a huge variety of donuts so of course I had to try a variety sunce it was my first time. I got a bearclaw, regular glaze, lemon filled, and a cinnamon roll. They weren't the freshest but they all tasted good and they didnt taste like oil. I will have to come in earlier next time. Also, they could have been fried just for a little less time. The lady was very nice and she gave me free donut holes and a chocolate donut. I certainly didn't need those extra calories but it was very nice. It took me two days to eat them all. read more

2 Legit 2 Legit 2 Quit 2 Legit 2 Legit 2 Quit That's how Bascom Donuts makes me feel. Hollah back at the 80s! This place is (legit), and I love how dirty delicious their donuts are. Conveniently located on Bascom, I bought some donuts on my way to work (cause everyone knows morning traffic blows). The selection of donuts was fantastic and service was speedy. Quality was top notch and not too oily or sugary. They def did not skimp out on the icing and flavorings, which I always appreciate. If I'm going to eat a donut and take away a minute of my life in my ripe old age, I want it to be finger-licking, devil-dealing, death-inducing delicious. Thanks Bascom Donuts, cheers! read more

Update: just ordered the chorizo croissant and OMG!! I want one everyday!! Love it! Just picked up donuts and a breakfast sandwich. Really yummy.. I highly recommend picking up donuts and breakfast sandwiches for the whole family from here! We picked up a dozen mixed donuts.. the LOs loved all the variety. But you have to get there early for the best choices. Not too much was left at 8:30 am on a Friday. However, the breakfast sandwich wahit the spot! Croissant with egg, bacon, ham & American Swiss Cheese!! My new favorite place! read more

I'm just doing the review on the service. my family has been coming at least 3 times a week. we love the donuts but the lady that makes the sandwiches gave us attitude when we asked her if she was going to make new coffee she raised her voice at me and said there's some on the funnel. we don't know how long that coffee has been there. we seen her and the older lady picking her favorite people and make them fresh coffee when they demand it. hopefully it's not racism but they do be picking their favorite people the two older ladies. there's a young cashier and she's always nice to us. because of her and the food we still come back but the two older ladies either find a new job or stay at home. be equal to everyone. read more

Once you walk in, the aroma of fresh donuts hits you! The ladies in the front gave outstanding customer service and greet you when you walk in.

Thank you Bascom Donuts for making my morning! read more
