One of the freshest tasting donuts I've ever had. Something about the dough and consistency makes it different from other donut shops I've tried. Will be coming back. read more

I've been wanting to try this place after seeing lines out the door in the past. One rainy morning presented an opportunity after drop off. My go-to is always an original glazed as it's not covered up with frills and distractions from truly tasting the dough. At first look, it wasn't overly opague aka covered in sugar glaze. It had just enough to sweet the top. It was a nice chew and sponginess that made me want to take another bite. Not too sweet. I only cut half as I wanted to try something sweeter, working my way up. I love a good raspberry jelly donut. Again, nice chew and not too sweet. Filling didn't have that artificially taste and spread evenly with each bite. I enjoyed it. DD loved the chocolate cake with cereal top. She didn't share bc it was that good to her. Hubs ate the chocolate glaze and maple bar by himself so I couldn't taste either. I guess the fam enjoyed it. Wish they had some French Cruellers as that's another favorite of mine. Before we had the sweets, we did share a croissant bacon egg cheese sandwich. Ngl, I was pleasantly surprised. Microwaved crispy bacon and melted cheese and it was a pretty tasty breakfast sandwich was for a donut shop. I'd drive across town again for more when I get another fix and donut what to eat for breakfast read more

This donut shop has an amazing selection of donuts and a great variety of food to choose from. There's plenty of breakfast and lunch sandwiches to choose from and the amount of donuts are just so much fun to explore and check out. The combos you can do too like a donut with sandwich and coffee is worth the deal. Also the service here was amazing too as the ladies who work here are very nice and friendly. Always give a good tip when paying and love going here. As for ambiance it feels like a classic donut shop you'd see in any movie or show. It's quiet, never busy, clean and just fun to go to. Go here for a quick breakfast or bite but just remember they close a little early too. read more

I was there on 1/14/2026 & 1/16/2026. The twist donut is soft. The custard filled w/ glazed donut is good. The french crullers are soft. The white frosted cake donut w/ sprinkle is good. The cinnamon crumbs donut is ok. read more

Pretty good! Would come back. The donut texture is good without being overly sweet. Very fast service. Pretty small place but I like the vibe read more

I travel a lot and I'm always on the lookout for good donut/coffee spots. I stumbled upon this place as I was working in the area. The interior is nice and looks clean. I ordered a ham & cheese croissant and a small ice mocha. I feel the ham & cheese croissant was a bit flat and small, not meaty at all. The ice mocha was served with hot coffee making the bottom half of the drink warm. It was also way too sweet in my opinion. These employees were kind but these are NOT the best donuts for me. read more

From the name it is true, these were the best donuts for my trip in the area. They tasted amazing even the second day. The donuts were so soft and tender, I would say this is the best donut that was enjoyed by all! read more

Delicious donuts and coffee. The dough has a unique and delightful consistency. Good selection and good service.

Dainty is my usual go to but I would say this donut place is also pretty tasty. Standard donut selection and donut prices.

Great service. Kind workers. Classic hometown donut shop vibe. We got the ham and egg toast with cheese and a maple cinnamon twist. Both were so delicious and filling! Donut holes also have a great texture and are fresh! read more

Delicious treats & Diligent staff. I strolled in randomly after delivering car parts nearby and am glad I took the chance. I had a maple bar which was fluffy and fresh at almost 1pm, Bacon Sausage & Egg sandwich on a croissant that was melt in your mouth good with a generous amount of crispy bacon, and a sweet Mango smoothie which was handmade with real milk and fruit upon ordering. I am not in the area often but will look to come here as much as I can. This place deserves my business. I would add pictures if I hadn't consumed my delicious meal at vacuum speed. read more

Donuts are very fresh and light. I tried the x-large chocolate twist and the apple fritter. Very good and filling. I had a large coffee which was okay. I came in around 1130 and the donuts were still fresh and not overcooked. read more

Updated review after 2 years. I actually don't come to Best Donuts for their donuts. They are decent, but quality-wise and variety-wise, Dainty Donuts are more to my liking. However, Best Donuts has some of the best options for breakfast sandwiches before 6am. These protein-rich sandwiches are much healthier than donuts, and I find myself coming back again before heading off to work. Favorites: Ham and Egg Chorizo and Egg Bacon and Ham Definitely better than McDonalds and Burger King. I especially like the soft, toasty bread. You can have your cake too - they have a $9 special combo for donut, breakfast sammie, and small coffee. read more

Great breakfast sandwiches & yummy glazed donuts & maple bars. I think they may have changed ownerships... but the quality & delicious freshness is still very consistent. read more

Under new ownership. Got some donuts the other week and the kids ate them up. I used to come here because the previous owner is my neighbor. But now that it's a new owner, maybe we will be healthier and eat fewer donuts. lol Wishing the best to the new owners. read more

The name won't fool you, this place has the best donuts in the Bay Area. I decided to give this place a try a few months ago as a treat, now I get it as a treat too often. They have a fantastic selection, the donuts stay fresh, and the service is great and quick. The donut shop is a kind of hole in the wall local shop you'd expect to have great quality, and it lives up to that expectation. Every time I've brought a dozen to work, my co workers always ask where this place is so they can stop by if they are over in the east bay. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a local spot or a spot to take into work! read more

The donuts are delicious, fresh and fluffy! The employees are very friendly and polite.

I LOVE apple fritters. Best Donuts is my "go to" to satisfy my craving. It might be a little nostalgic since I associate it with my childhood growing up on Maui. My dad loved apple fritters and it was a treat when he'd stop his Jeep at Nagata Store in Pa'ia on Hana Highway after our surf sessions at Ho'okipa. It would make our weekend when he'd treat us to this delight. Of course we'd have to split/share it with the siblings; but, still...it hit the spot! Ahhh..the good 'ole days! As I'm writing this; I know where I have to go tomorrow after work or at least in the next few days. Lol. I love to support small businesses and I know that Iris at Best Donuts is a small business owner. I would see their boxes in the teacher/staff lounge as I'd volunteer and set up for different functions. Those teachers and staff were so fortunate to receive these treats from her. I never even peeked in those boxes since it wasn't my place; but, saw that she treated them to goodies for Teacher/Staff week, etc. read more

I am often in search of the BEST DONUTS, well, and didn't ya know I found'em. Thanks to Waze, and my best friend, Yelp. I am also, like always, when the gf isn't looking or leaves me alone, eating unhealthy like: donuts, bacon, and/or an extra slice of bread. I suppose, I am a bad but cute, little piggy with a little extra to grab. With all that said, and I must for YOU, for my PEOPLE, get 3 various donuts to sample. Ya know, for the review. * Old Fashioned: too cakey, nice texture, but a bore. [3.5 stars] * Boston Cream w/Custard: oh yes! Great texture, flavor. [4.0 stars] * Cinnamon roll: bodacious, hits for the cycle, perfect ride on all cylinders albeit too much glaze. Can that even be possible? [4.5 stars] Best in the area, so far! But, I'm on a mission. read more

I'm pretty sure my family or I have patronized every retail spot in this shopping center. Located next door to Vonnie's dry cleaning is Best Donuts. This donut shop is run by a mother and daughter duo. They are open early and close early. The donuts are always fresh and the coffee hot. Since all of San Ramon's auto shops are nearby they do a brisk business making breakfast sandwiches. Always the nicest service and a great pit stop when you service your cars. read more

True to it's name these are definitely some of the best donut shop donuts (first time my phone didn't eat first). Originally I came for a breakfast sandwich, but ended leaving with an apple fritter and custard filled donut holes too. The breakfast sandwiches were good! The croissants are so fresh and FLUFFY! Great for the price and an easy location, but not the best I've had either. My entire order was under $9. They have also have somewhat of a mini convenience store in the back with tons of soft drinks, coffee, smoothies, and even cup of noodles. I would come back for the donuts, but be sure to come early. I came late morning and she was completed wiped out, with a few cake donuts left and of course an apple fritter. They open early so I'm looking forward to stopping by before work. read more

Doesn't look like much at first- very hole-in-the-wall-y, but the ladies working at the counter were so nice and greeted me with smiles. I ordered the bacon, turkey, and egg croissant breakfast sandwich, which was delicious and a perfect amount. I would have preferred if there was more seating and a bathroom, but I sat at one of the outside tables, which was pleasant. Would come back! read more

Great donuts with friendly owners. The jelly filled donut holes are excellent and the blueberry old fashioned is the best.

Celebrating National Donut Day 5 days late but wanted to check out this place since Yelp just released top donut places in the East Bay and this was on there. And with a name like Best Donuts you have to! I usually go to Dainty Donuts just up the street but I'm always down to look for other great donut shops. I wasn't impressed with the display and variety here. Maybe I came too late at almost 11 am on a Saturday but there wasn't much to choose from. I wish I saw the Yelp ad that said get a free donut with a sandwich purchase cuz I ended up getting 2 b'fast sandwiches which were ok. I did get the last glazed twist and I ended up throwing it away because it kind of tasted like plastic or the quality was those processed donuts in boxes in grocery stores. I got my son a cinnamon roll and I guess he wasn't very impressed either cuz he threw some of it on the ground. I ate what was salvageable and I did like it actually. It was fluffy and soft the way I like my donuts. I was really looking forward to having an Apple fritter but they said they were sold out even though I saw one on the bottom shelf but maybe that was reserved for someone. Needless to say I will stick to Dainty Donuts from now on. But that's just my opinion but seems like enough people like them to have almost 5 stars. read more

Best Donuts - a woman in a bakery - Donuts Near Me - San Ramon, California

Best Donuts is a local favorite with loyal customers! We stopped by here for breakfast on a Saturday morning while we got our car serviced across the street. We each ordered the bacon and egg breakfast sandwiches and wow they were tasty. The bacon was cooked and crisped to perfection. None of those limp, fatty strips other places serve. The eggs were nice and fluffy and the bread had just a hint of sweetness to tie everything together wonderfully. In addition to the delicious breakfast sandwiches, our favorite part about spending a morning here was seeing how beloved this shop is by regular customers. People would walk and and be greeted personally. Obviously most of them were regulars because the lady behind the counter would smile, ask about their kids and put together their usual orders without the customer having to ask. It's like Cheers for donuts-- where everybody knows your name! One guy walked in with his three-year-old son, who asked for a sprinkles donut. There weren't any left in the case, but the lady behind the counter kindly offered to make a custom donut for the boy. She asked him what kind of donut he liked and what color sprinkles. She let the boy watch as she frosted and decorated a donut just for him. What great customer service! This is why it's important to support local businesses. You get that personal touch! read more

I bought doughnuts for the crew working for our home improvement project. Ordered 1.5 dozen assorted. The service was quick. They are loved by locals and also doughnuts were gone in a few minutes. It was a good booster for our crew working on a specially gusty chilly morning. We personally loved the buttermilk chocolate doughnut. I didn't see old fashioned chocolate doughnuts in the store but looking forward to try those. read more

The name of this establishment lives up to it's name. Best Donuts is the Best Donuts. I come here twice a month and pick up a dozen donuts for the staff at the Oakland Zoo on my volunteer days. The donuts are always fresh and perfect! The staff always greets me with a friendly smile too. That goes a long way! read more

Yes, it's a donut shop. I love to stop by here in the mornings for donuts & coffee. However, they make great sandwiches too. If you want a hearty breakfast sandwich or an affordable lunch, this is a gem of a place to drop in for something quick. If you phone in ahead, they will have your sandwich ready for you when you arrive, so there's no wait at all. read more

Best Donuts, oh man what a a bold claim to make, especially in the name of your establishment! Are they really the best? Well uhh, after one visit here, why yes, yes they're the best. One of my new wishes in life is to be thrown into a swimming pool filled with their glazed old fashioned donuts and having to eat my way out. Their donuts are so soft and fluffy, and they're sweet but not sugar punching you in the face sweet. Even their maple donuts weren't overly sweet. I can usually only typically eat half a maple donut before my liver starts yelling at me about my sugar intake, but the maple donuts here are super easy to eat. Another thing I love about this place is that their donuts stand the test of time. I nibbled on one of their maple bars over the span of an entire day, and it had the same taste and texture for the whole time. Like, what kind of donut magic is that? Anyways, I'm glad I've found my new favorite donut shop in town. If I find myself with an extra couple of pounds on my tummy, then Best Donuts is the reason! read more

I used to come here for their apple flitters, which were delightfully crispy on the outside and, because of their thinness, had a great ratio of crispiness to tenderness. However, I had one today, and it seems like the recipe has totally changed. The outside is not crispy at all, and it appears to be thicker and more like a cake. read more

Very delicious donuts. They can fill them for you with jam or cream depending on your liking. My husband got a breakfast bagel here once and he really liked it. Definitely recommend! read more

Best Donuts - Jelly Raspberry Filled Glazed Donut - Donuts Near Me - San Ramon, California

Donut heaven! This place is tucked away in a tiny strip mall and it seems that the only people that know about their existence are the folks to live and work in the area. Their donuts are to die for...light and airy and listen, if you don't get there early enough, you'll run out of the good stuff. Too bad that they only have a couple of tables outside where you can sit and enjoy your food and coffee (thanks to Covid), but that's alright. They also serve sandwiches which are also very good, but personally I visit them for the sweets! One (not so recent) update is the addition of the lottery machine in their store. Nice to get my lottery tickets there and not have to line up at the gas station where it's a bit crowded. But hey - come on over and get a box of donuts and eclairs and cinnamon rolls for yourself and your family or maybe your office (donuts on a Friday morning is always a popular thing with your co-workers!) read more

I had this donut in my lunch box for 5 hours and it's still chewy and very soft. I love helping out the family owned small business, and this place is a real gem in a wall. read more

craving for donuts??? here is the right place. they sell many kinds of donuts and sandwiches. i am an old fashioned one, i just like the original or glazed. try both, the donut and donut hole. i will say the donut is soft and right sweetness. eating one of this with hot tea in the morning will be a perfect combination. the donut holes ~ for me a bit dry, may be because small. if you are a donut lover, should not come here in the afternoon, you will not get what you want. they sell quite fast. sorry for not taking any picture due to hungry... read more

This little hidden gem is in a little strip mall anchored by # Brothers Chinese Restaurant, Cafe Attila and Round Table Pizza. Don't blink because you will miss it. And it is towards the rear of the mini-mall. It's a mom/pop, bare-bones operation. They offer donuts, sandwiches, hot dogs, coffe, tea and other drinks. There's not much in the way of ambiance but the staff are really nice and they smile a lot. That's always welcome and one of the original prime reasons for me to come here. I discovered that their Apple Fritters are really very good - nice flavors, texture, not greasy and very large and well worth the $2 price tag. Jim read more

I have been shopping in this place for a while. They have very fresh and good quality Donuts, Sandwiches and Coffee. The people here are very nice and kind. Other than donuts, they actually offer many options for sandwiches. My kids like their donut holes, one type of donut holes they fill in with jelly and tastes very well. This is our favorite donut shop in this area, and I think some people just came here once and left some feedbacks, while they didn't really know how good this shop is. read more
