    As of 1/16/2026

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Yummy!

    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.

    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.

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

    Awesome sandwiches! So glad they're in Pleasanton now I've been a fan since the Danville location…read morefor decades! It's all good! I tried their pick up option online so I could order and pay without waiting. The app even tells when your order is ready. I decided to build my own sandwich and ordered a roast beef and turkey sandwich on Dutch crunch with everything. Picked it up to a friendly greeting and smiles from all of the staff. Took it home to eat and wow this was a huge sandwich and full of ingredients. Unfortunately I noticed quickly it was all turkey and no roast beef. They forgot my meat. I sure hope they get it right next time. I should say that even without my roast beef this was an incredible tasty sandwich. Every bite got better and better. I honestly can say I haven't had a deli sandwich as good as this in a very long time. Probably the best Dutch crunch roll ever and so soft with the perfect amount of crunch and sweetness on top. This sandwich was pure heaven and so big but I was hungry and wanted to go right back for another. Still one of the best sandwiches in the Bay Area and I'm so glad there finally in my hometown of Pleasanton. I'll be back soon and very often I guarantee! It's a must try if you're in the area or even if it's a bit of a drive. Tell em Scotty sent you.

Very friendly servers, just FYI no self-serve water station that I could see and food came in to-go containers. Decently clean and very quick.

    Mendocino Farms is a solid choice for sandwiches and salads and has become one of my go-to spots…read morewhen I want something tasty but still healthy-ish. I love that the calorie counts are included on the menu, and the portions are just right. The service also reminds me a little of Trader Joe's customer service. Everyone is usually super smiley, personable, and genuinely helpful. If something isn't quite right, they'll actually try to make it right instead of making you feel like you're being difficult. My usual order is the Avocado & Quinoa Salad, with the "Not So Fried" Chicken sandwich or salad-style version as a close second. I also really like that you can turn any sandwich into a salad. If you order in person, the staff will usually let you choose from several different salad mixes, which I wish was also an option in the app. The seasonal menu is probably one of my favorite things about Mendo because there's always something new to try. A few summers ago I had a spicy prosciutto and peach sandwich that was honestly out of this world. It's still my favorite sandwich I've had here, and every summer I hope it makes a comeback. I may or may not think about that sandwich more often than I should. The 1/2 sandwich option is also great when I want something smaller since it comes with a side. I just wish there were more salad choices besides the kale and apple rainbow salad. On colder days or when I'm feeling under the weather, the lemon chicken and farro soup is excellent comfort food. And the basil pesto shells are my boyfriend's favorite side, so those almost always end up in the order too. There's a few tables outside, which I prefer when the weather's nice. Inside, just beware of the grassy bench seating because I've definitely run into a few sticky spots there.

Self-depreciation joke aside, let get straight into this review. My wife and I were looking for a place for lunch and wanted something on the lighter side. Ive been meaning to try this place out and was very glad that I did. This place actually makes eating healthy fun and is very delicious. Life is about balance and I certainly cant always have fries and cheeseburgers. I mean, I could but I'd pay the price. I didnt feel like I was making any big sacrifices with the steak sandwich. It wasn't heavy like a cheesesteak would be and I was satiated. What I didnt expect, however, was enjoying the salad more than the steak and bacon sandwich. Excuse my english but Holy Shitballs, this was a very tasty salad and everything tasted so fresh. Salads are supposed to taste fresh so, you can tell I dont eat salads very much by the way I am describing it but man, I could eat this salad multiple times a week! I am trying to make healthier decisions, it's not easy but every little bit counts.

    The Olive Market is a must-try..Believe the HYPE! I saw this place getting a lot of attention on…read moresocial media and I had to see it for myself. First of all, the ambience of this shop is really cool. They have a bunch of specialty grocery items all around the store of stuff that I've never seen before. The staff was super friendly and everyone really seemed passionate of what they were doing. It gave off a homey/cozey vibe. The sandwiches my wife and I tried were the Loaded Market Special, Market Special and the Padrino. Everything was well put together and all the ingredients complemented one another. Our favorite out of the 3 was the loaded Market Special. If you like a little spice I would highly recommend trying this one. The lettuce and sauce balanced out the saltiness of the pastrami and the bread was fresh. The cheese was nice and gooey and gave off a perfect pull. The size of the sandwich was perfectly sized. Not too big and not too small. If you're on a time crunch I'd recommend ordering ahead on the phone as they can get a little busy.

    We decided to try this deli after seeing it all over TikTok. The sandwiches looked incredible, and…read morewhile they're definitely on the pricier side, the reviews made it seem like they were worth the splurge. Unfortunately, we were pretty disappointed with our experience. We ordered the exact same sandwiches we had seen featured on TikTok, but what we received looked noticeably different and honestly wasn't nearly as impressive. The sandwiches were fine, but for the price, I expected a lot more, especially after seeing what was advertised online. I also found the experience at the sandwich counter a little underwhelming. I've seen several Yelp reviews mention how welcoming and friendly the staff are, but that unfortunately wasn't my experience. No one acknowledged me at the counter, even though they weren't particularly busy at the time. It just didn't feel very welcoming. Overall, I don't feel like the price reflects what you actually get in person. Maybe we caught them on an off day, but based on this experience, I probably wouldn't go back.
