Awesome donuts and the best staff around! I recently went here for my first time and they were so sweet and patient with me and my indecisive order. Every donut I got I absolutely loved, and they even threw in an extra couple donut holes for me:) you guys rock! Thank you! read more

Best donuts I have ever had in a long time! Better then the best donuts I said last November in Michigan... definitely come here! All were good... I had the croissant with chocolate in every bite, but tried many of the other donuts and they were incredible. read more

They have the best donuts and excellent customer service. The women who work here are so cheerful and helpful. 10/10 recommend the buttermilk donut. read more

I really enjoy Bascom Donuts, not only because the donuts are good but because the owners are really sweet. They close at around 2pm, and the many times I've been there have been nothing but pleasant. Sometimes they even include a little extra treat in your bag! The storefront doesn't look like much, but don't let that deter you; those are the best spots. Everything is made fresh daily so they're always soft, and the cake donuts have that ever-so-slight crisp that I love. Give them a try! read more

AmaIng location. Great service. Great donuts. Amazing people. Thank you for giving me a extra donut for the inconvenience. Customer service is key and they understand that and trust me you get quality service here. Definitely a returning customer read more

Went in on a Saturday around 10:30am looking for some donut holes and pastries for a road trip. There was one cream cheese pastry left, I I opted for the muffins blueberry, bran, banana -- all were moist and fresh unfortunately the blueberry muffin only had three berries lol The donuts when available are fresh and consistent. The French cruller is my all time favorite and they make it exactly the way I crave it. The customer service is great, I asked for the muffins to be cut in half and they did it for me happily. read more

I love these old school Donut shops. Great fluffy donuts, super cheap and super delish. They even gave us some extra because they thought we were nice. ;-) read more

If you're looking for great quality donuts, this is the place that will fill your cravings! The donuts are fresh along with good service. I highly recommend this place to grab a quick bite or take to work in the mornings. read more

Hey! A this great $2 Apple Fritter deserves all the stars!! And the nice lady behind the counter tossed in two doughnut holes as a bonus. Now, I am an Apple Fritter snob, I suppose. I want my Apple Fritters to be flavorful, but also not too wet and caked; not drowned in sugar frosting. The Apple Fritter at Bascom Donuts is top-rate! On my way to where I need to go about twice a week, how will I be able to resist? read more

Donuts, who woulda thought I would be giving 5 stars for donuts?!? Co-worker kept telling me how good these donuts were, and I always simply shrugged it off. Recently after we got off work in the morning I decided to come here with my co-worker to see what all the fuss was about, I was even skeptical about the other yelp reviews. So what makes these 5 star donuts?? They are so fluffy & soft, and just melt in your mouth with each bite. These donuts are so fresh. Even after 12 hours they were just as delicious. The glazed donuts are so good that I'll even dare say they're better than krispy kreme! TIP - If you buy a dozen they'll pack free donut holes into your box =) read more

These! These! are the best donuts i've ever had in my entire life! Relocated from michigan to san jose, CA and these are a must try if your in the area!!!! The employees are amazing the rules for how to treat and love your customes were written and started right here! I just love them! read more

4/08/20 they're open!! A solid donut shop with a large assortment of raised, cake, french and jelly filled donuts (apple fritters too). Coffee out of the glass carafe an assortment of bottled juices and good made to order breakfast sandwiches. Private parking lot near HWY 85 makes it an easy go to shop. read more

These donuts are amazing! By far, the best donuts I've ever had. They're sweet and light and not overly greasy. Whenever a bring home a dozen, they never stay around for too long! read more

It's amazing just what friendly service and a few extra doughnuts holes will have you doing....stopped in here for a sec and after I requested a raspberry filled doughnut I was informed that it was no problem she'd fill one for me right now...it was fast, friendly, delicious and surprisingly inexpensive! We ordered 4 doughnuts and had like half a dozen doughnut holes thrown in from the lady helping us and it cost a whole $6.50! When we get the same doughnuts in Belmont (minus the doughnut holes) it costs us more than double that! I totally love this place! read more

We ordered from our phone while in our car. They boxed up the donuts and brought them out to us. We gave them a $20 and told them to keep the change. Perfect COVID exchange. BEST DONUTS IN SJ read more

This is our favorite donut shop! Charming, old school, delicious donuts and coffee. The donuts are super tasty and consistent. There are other items as well, but the donuts are where it's at. read more

Great and tasty Donuts, Coffee and sandwiches for a great price! Very friendly staff at the counter.

When not trekking all the way to Menlo Park from SJ for work, I'd work out in one of our clinics in the South Bay but not without stopping by for a dozen of beauts from this neighborhood shop. Trust me, your coworkers will love you- but not as much as these doughnuts. You can't go wrong with an assortment but my personal fav is their unglazed blueberry cake doughnut. Note: accepts credit cards, no amex. read more

I love this place. They have never given me bad service and I have been coming here for years. There are many donut places around here but this place has the most fresh for a great price. They also serve more than just donuts. I always order their ham and cheese croissant warmed up and a small coffee. They have many different coffees to choice from including hazelnut, vanilla, and regular. They have vanilla creamer as well. This place is a nice mom and pop place and all of the workers here are so nice. One time I dropped my credit card on accident and they held on it to and returned it me that same week. Another customer heard the story and tipped them extra for doing that. I cannot day enough nice things about this place. It's a small hole in the wall place but they have great donuts and I would recommend this place to anyone! read more

Super cute old timey donut shop! Good prices and also has very tasty chocolate croissants. Attentive and polite service.

Our first time here after driving by it for many years. Arrived late morning on a Friday and there were plenty to choose from! Tried some glaze twists and a crumb cake and all were super fresh. Coffee was nice and hot and all gave service with a smile. If you're in the mood for a donut, suggest giving this place a try. read more

My boyfriend and I recently moved into the area back in May and we always noticed this donut shop whenever we drove by. About a few weeks ago, we decided to take a mid day break to walk up to Starbucks. Well... Starbucks ended up being pretty far so we abandoned that idea and decided to see if Bascom Donuts had coffee. Well, long story short, they do! And really amazing freaking donuts! The coffee options were actually a lot more impressive than I had expected. They had flavors such as vanilla macadamia and a chocolate Hawaiian coffee which are both super delicious. The donuts are top notch as well. So fluffy and flavorful. And when you order multiple items, they tend to toss in some donut holes for you as well. It would be a miss to not try this place out! read more

Best donuts ever! The staff is super nice and friendly. Very welcoming. I highly recommend if you have time in the morning to stop by and get something good to eat and drink from here. read more

Delicious and fresh. Nothing fancy about these donuts but they are yummy and the ladies that work there are super nice!

You might think it impossible to mess up a donut. I thought so too, but in sampling the donut shops around the South Bay, I have discovered it is indeed possible. This place, however, knows what they're doing. If you're headed there in the wee hours of the morning, you are greeted by the very happy, smiling face of the lady behind the counter. I wish I knew her name, because she really is the reason this place is getting a five star rating from me. She's extremely nice, friendly, and the kind of face you need to see to brighten your day at 5:00 AM. The donuts are outstanding. I am partial to old fashioned donuts, and the selection here has just that right amount of crunch and doughyness, plus they do a good job on the glaze. Their donut holes are also outstanding, and I rarely make it far down the street without eating all that I've acquired. I'm glad this place is a reasonable distance away from my office, so I can't make frequent trips here. I might have a problem if so... Make this your first stop for donuts in the San Jose area, if only for the smiling face of the lady behind the counter! read more

My first time here today and they were so kind, they even gave me extra doughnut holes. Honestly the donut was perfect not to soft and not to thick. Will definitely be coming back here! read more

We used to live around the corner from this donut shop and knew the donuts were good but kind of took it for granted...now that we live in Sunnyvale (20 mins away) and have tried THREE different donut places for our Sunday morning tradition, we know that we were LUCKY to have Bascom Donuts practically in our backyard for all those years. Now we're spoiled forever... ;o) Why are their donuts so special? - They are lighter/fluffier than most...that is the biggest difference. - They aren't sickeningly sweet...I want to taste the dough with a sweet accent not sweet, sweet, sweet - They give you free donut holes! - They are SOOOO friendly...always...I haven't found ANYone this friendly at ANY donut shop...what the heck?! I've heard that their ham/cheese croissants are incredible also...knew someone that used to drive from E. San Jose to get those! Now I know why... read more

I used to come here 10+ years ago, after visiting my Dentist nearby. Nothing like tearing into a Maple Bar after the dentist telling you 'you have 15 cavities'. I used to grab a doughnut, and a little Whole Milk, and I was in Heaven. Just came back here on Thanksgiving morning and they were open! They service is fantastic, they were excited to be at work there. Not only that but they added a doughnut hole to each of our orders as a little surprise. Pretty cool seeing all the old balls hang out here and drink the coffee, talking about the old days. They accept credit card as well, although there is a $5 minimum. Just a simple place, but so much better than the stuff at Safeway or 711. read more

Such a personable family business. Really a pleasure to see a small business serving the community

I really wanted to like this place...it's a small mom and pop joint and I like supporting them. I was in the mood for croissants and Yelp led me there as it's just a few miles from home.I bought a plain croissant, a glazed and a double chocolate donut. All for $3.5 so it's pretty reasonable. The croissant was huge but I felt it was too dense. Croissants are supposed to be light and buttery but this felt like it was too heavy. The donuts were also strictly ok-they were quite soft but I felt the taste was too eggy and not too flavorful. read more

Agreed with most.I have not come here in a while but the donuts are fresh home grown and the prices for every breakfast combinations offered seem very reasonable.I'd come back for certain....if i still ate donuts! Ha. I did also try a muffin here prior and that too was fresh and price pointed reasonable! read more

Wow! This place has been here forever! Doughnuts here are old school and tastey! Price for a large coffee is $1. What a nice surprise. Loads of parking in their lot. The owners are friendly and fast. The only thing that would make this place better would be WiFi and possibly a table outside. read more

Best donuts and great coffee!!! Love the staff.... especially the owner!! My husband and I discovered this place, down the street from our house. They serve pretty good coffee and you can get something to eat. Their selections are outstanding. And as Daniel H said, Bascom Donuts know what they are doing. The donuts are great! Their apple fritter is gigantic and so yummy! My other fav is maple old fashioned....:o) And they always throw in extra donut holes for free!! So great!! read more

We've been going to this neighborhood shop for well over 10 years. It has always been our favorite, with super friendly service and great breakfast sandwiches. Coffee has always been a weak point, but not bad. I'd give the shop a 5, but the quality of the donuts has been dropping over the last year or so - thinking maybe some issues with COVID, but not really sure why this would change the donuts.... Honestly, still great overall, but the donuts are just not as light and fluffy as they used to be, and they are going much heavier on the glaze. We haven't seen Sam there in a very long time, so maybe without his oversight the recipe changed a bit. I'd still recommend, especially for the sandwiches, but for the first time in many years we're starting to check out other shops. read more

I come here occasionally because my dentist is right across the street from it. I know it's a bad thing but it's a treat for me when I do. I have even driven here early in the AM on the weekend just to get my fill. Service is friendly and fast. What I usually get here: -Apple fitters which are delicous and crunchy. -Donut holes are fresh and buttery. if you buy several donuts they usually throw some donut holes in with your order. -Old fashioned maple The maple looks darker and sometimes it's crispy on top. Not sure how they achieve this texture but it's amazing and I wish they would have this texture all the time. Even if they don't this old fashioned maple is still much better then other places. Even though I haven't tried all their donuts yet I'm sure they're very good going by what I usually buy. read more

they have the best donuts I've ever tried, immense choice for any taste, and wonderful and incredibly helpful stuff! 5 out of 5!

Yelped for a local donut shop near our new place and this one popped up high in the ratings and 1.4 miles away but an easy drive. Looks clean outside and inside, good parking, decent selection of main stream donut types. Today I had an Apple Fritter and the Mrs. had donut holes and a plain old fashioned donut. The fritter was one of the best I have had in a long time, great Apple flavor and fruit inside and I liked it was thinner than others. Frosting on it too was superior. Donut holes were yummy, but the old fashioned a bit off on taste to my wife's liking. Friendly hard working ladies behind the counter and a stream of people coming in while we sat and ate speaks volumes too. Recommended as a good donut hole in the wall neighborhood sugar fix! read more

Love the Chorizo and cheese croissant. Reminds me of my moms cooking, Donuts are awesome here along with all sandwiches

Decided to go here to grab some donuts for the family since it has the highest reviews in the area. I wasn't disappointed, we got 3 dozen donut holes at a great price. $2 for a dozen. I wanted the bigger sizes but it was $11 for a dozen which seemed like a bit much. Great glazed donut holes though! Light and fluffy! read more
