I finally got to try this Fremont staple for the first time after everyone and their moms recommended it. Immediately upon entry, you can see the huge display of neatly arranged donuts, malasadas, and pastries and they all look amazing! So many flavors to choose from that it was a little overwhelming. As others have said, the price point is around $5.50 per piece so have that in mind going in. Ordering was simple enough and servers were kind and patient. Parking is maximum 3 hours and there are some tables and chairs outside to sit and enjoy your goodies. Overall, I think I'm still going to stay loyal to Doughweime in Union City, but these malasadas do live up to the hype. Everything bagel malasada: Surprisingly really good, a light cream cheese filling with everything bagel seasoning on the outside. And the texture of the savory donut was crispy and airy. 9/10 Strawberry cream malasada: Kind of plain, would've been good with strawberry bits inside. 7/10 Biscoff cream malasada: You can taste the real Biscoff crackers in the filling. 7.5/10 read more

I'm still recovering from the sticker shock. I haven't been here in a while, but yesterday I paid $33+ (before tip) for four donuts - that means if I had gotten a dozen, it would've been $100. Not sure if the prices were posted, but apparently I'm the idiot who didn't look hard enough. Didn't get a chance to try them since they were a present for a friend, but I hope they tasted as good as they looked! read more

Bun Appetit - Clockwise: strawberry, blueberry lemon, Easter nest, tiramisu - Donuts Near Me - Fremont, California

I saw a few post about this place and wanted to try it out. All the donuts look very pretty. Very instagram-able. But they are pricey definitely way more than I would usually spend on donuts. Parking can be a little tough. The shop doesn't have seats inside, so you'll have to eat it out. The donuts look amazing but they didn't quite taste as good as they look. More doughy filled than expected, I thought they be like and airy to bite into, but not really. Looking good doesn't translate to tasting good read more

I made a big ol trek for this one on a workday, as I did a little donut run for my coworkers and I. The shop is pretty small with no seating available but the staff are super kind. They do sell out of flavors, so if you're looking for some of their popular flavors, I'd recommend going early or preordering. I've tried a couple of their donuts and one of their savory pastries and this is my ranking: 1) Tiramisu 2) Kimchi spam puff 3) Cookies n cream 4) Vanilla cream 5) Churro Dulce de leche The tiramisu was a friend's recommendation and it was DELICIOUS. I didn't know it was a filled ring donut prior to buy it but it was a nice surprise! I only wish I'd gotten more than one. The kimchi spam puff was flaky, salty, with a hint of spice that really woke me up in the morning. I personally wish the cookies n cream was a little more vanilla with cookies forward, but it felt a little more chocolate forward. The vanilla cream was pretty standard, so I would say that it's a good basic staple if you're not sure what to get. Churro was my last pick, but it was still a very good donut. Just a little more on the messier end. read more

Coming back here after years, those savory everything donuts are as perfect as I remember. I would still eat these for breakfast everyday if I could. Perfectly puffy with a delicious and fluffy whipped cream cheese in the middle. It looks like a corporate chain but it's actually a local business. (They even wrote it on the wall so people wouldn't confuse it!) Love the local spot delivering such a excellent product in a beautiful space. Great spot! read more

I was in the area with a friend yesterday so we decided to stop by as I had this place bookmarked. There's street parking (2 hour limit) in front but there's also a lot in the back. We both found parking easily when we arrived. There are so many good choices here; all of the donut flavors looked really good! It was definitely hard to choose, but I ultimately went with a Pistachio Cream, a Guava Cheesecake, and a Chocolate Hazelnut. All of the donuts were soft and fluffy. The Pistachio Cream was a cream-filled donut with sugar sprinkled on the outside. The cream was really good and the amount was perfect. The Guava Cheesecake had a guava glaze and biscuits on top. There was also a cream layer on the inside. Although I don't usually go for guava desserts, this was good. The Chocolate Hazelnut was more simple and didn't have a filling like the other two. I also got to try the Tiramisu and Black Sesame that my friend got. The Tiramisu was similar to the Guava Cheesecake in that it had the cream layer on the inside. The Tiramisu was delicious. The Black Sesame was also really good; I liked that the black sesame flavor was strong. read more

I am a victim of gourmet donuts, and Bun Appetit is the reason why I'm a believer now. While the place is very small, there's plenty of donut options! They do run out, so if you want a specific flavor it's probably best to stop by in the morning. Service is always quick and staff are friendly here. I always leave with 6 donuts. While it is on the pricier side, I'm always so happy with what I get. My favorite to date is the earl grey! I'm hoping they can implement a rewards program someday! read more

Ours was to go We tried a variety of their pastries, and I personally loved the matcha. I didn't think the Dubai chocolate worth the money as it tastes bitter, everything else is fairly decent and delicious. Will be back again read more

Just when I thought I had lost all my bun appetit after this beloved donut shop closed, I was very happy to discover that a new Bun Appetit had reopened with a modern aesthetic. Getting there does take a little effort. It's located in a newly built plaza off a busy street, and the parking is limited and shared with nearby businesses and residents, so pulling in and out can be a bit of a mission. That said, once I got inside, my usual foodie dysmorphia kicked in immediately. My eyes are famously bigger than my stomach, and despite telling myself I was going to practice self-control, I somehow left with an impressive selection of pastries and donuts. In a rare act of generosity, I shared them with my family, and they loved them so much that my mom was already asking for the shop name to keep in mind for later. The real standout, though, was a savory puff pastry that caught my eye. It had a kimchi-type filling with something else mixed in, and the closest comparison I can think of is a sausage roll--but better. It was flaky, flavorful, and honestly beyond phenomenal. I haven't stopped thinking about it since. That pastry has been living in my head rent-free and is fully responsible for my desire to return. Very Goldilocks-coded: not too savory, not too sweet, just right. read more

Bun Appetit has been on my radar for quite some time now. Definitely a sweet treat that's worth splurging on every now and then, as they have very unique flavor combos, and some of your more traditional flavors. We tried the filled pistachio donut and passionfruit donut. The pistachio filled bun was great, not overly sweet, which I enjoyed. You definitely receive a taste of the rich pistachio butter/cream, and it balances well with the airiness of the actual bread. My personal favorite was the passionfruit donut, because you REALLY taste the passionfruit. Definitely premium donuts sourced with real ingredients, and you can tell with each bite. We came around 2pm and they still had quite a few donuts left, and we were grateful we got to choose from their whole selection. Service was quick and efficient! I'd love to come back in 2026 to try their guava flavor, and any speciality flavors they concoct. read more

It's been wanting to we visit Bun Appétit and I am glad we finally did. We got the Delgano latte which was delicious. Got the mango, guava, biscoff &mocha bun. My favorite from all of them is the mocha bun $5 each. It's soooo good. We had it warm up for us and we finished it while waiting for our coffee. It was so good. Glad we ordered 2 so my kids can try it. My daughter fav is the biscoff. They are pricey but it's good though. There is no seating area inside. Which I hope they would create one. read more

These are simply delightful! There are not many places in Fremont that can truly hold their own with the bakeries in the bigger cities of the bay. Bun Appetit is on the level and not to be missed. Their donuts are works of art and sizable. I only had a few bites of a half of 4 flavors and I found myself stuffed. Highly recommend planning to share with multiple people so that you can try multiple flavors. The dough itself is nice and plush, but pretty standard. What is not standard is the quality of the flavor - very true and not just tasting of sugar sweetness. Though these are plenty sweet. My favorite on this occasion was the cheese and fig - absolutely delightful, true to flavor, not too sweet and not too savory either. Very unique. read more

Stopped in on a Friday AM to pick up matcha lattes and some pastries. Restaurant was clean and they had 4 employees assisting customers. They only have outside seating, so dress warm and layer up. Parking at that time was easy but I can see it being tricky during peak times. The staff greeted customers as they walked in and took orders quickly and efficiently. I love their boxes and presentation. Their pastries are beautiful and they have a great selection too. Items ordered: Hot oat milk unsweetened matcha latte - delicious nutty flavor and loved the ability to opt for oat milk or almond milk. Iced oat milk unsweetened matcha latte- same as above Oat milk chai- a delicious drink that is not too sweet! Vanilla donut- my coworker had this and thoroughly loved it! Churro donut- my other coworker loved the light fluffy texture and taste was on point. Well done! S'mores donut x2- my 2 other cohorts really were impressed with the presentation and flavor Pear almond donut- another beautiful presentation and good donut Matcha mont blanc- loved the mix of flavors, fluffy texture but a tad too sweet for me Plain croissant Ultimate Avo toast- Was just okay. I prefer this with boiled egg but they gave plenty of fresh avo Overall, this was pretty $$$. With tip etc this was over $100. Nice to treat my staff to something fun every so often and support a small business though. read more

Everything here is fire. I haven't tried anything I didn't like. It really just comes down to your flavor profile because they don't miss. The lemon blueberry was insane... perfect balance, fresh, not overly sweet, just dialed in. The banana cream filled is super fire, strawberry cream, mango cream, cookies and cream... and the fucking Biscoff and cream is ridiculous. The kimchi spam pastry is one of the best things on the menu. You can tell they actually care about what they're making. This place is on another level. There's also seating right out front. read more

As a frequent patron of this place, I must say they've kept up the quality and diversity of their seasonal flavors. While they always offer their classic flavors, their rotational ones are super creative too. Our regular favorites are the tiramisu, the lychee among the classics. This time we tried their raspberry (filled with chocolate cream), churro (filled with strawberry cream) and the golden fortune (mango fortune cookie themed) too. Loved them all. They aren't too sweet and that's what I like about them. Go early in the morning as they sell out fast on weekends! read more

Bun Appétit never misses. Their donuts are always soft and so good, and their seasonal flavors are usually the first thing I check. This time I tried the kalakand and the tiramisu donuts, and both were perfect for a post Thanksgiving treat. The kalakand had that cozy, milky sweetness, and the tiramisu was light and creamy in the best way. It's a takeout-only spot, but they do have a few outdoor seats if you want to hang out for a minute. They also have a nice selection of coffee, which makes the donut run even better. If you're in Fremont and craving something sweet, this place is an easy yes. read more

When you have aesthetically pleasing products, it really does make you want to visit! I remember going there years ago and being impressed not just with the look of the donuts, but with how fun the whole experience felt. That memory stuck with me, which is why we decided to stop by again recently. Unfortunately, this time we walked away not very impressed. I understand that specialty donuts are going to be high priced, and I don't mind paying more when the quality or variety matches the cost. The issue was that all of the donuts ended up tasting the same, especially the cream-filled ones. It seems like they use the same cream cheese-based filling for nearly everything, and after a couple of bites it got overwhelming and heavy. The visual presentation was still on point, but the flavors just didn't live up to the appearance or the memory I had from my first visit. Overall, it felt like the shop puts more focus on aesthetics than on variety or balance of taste. For me, that made it a bit disappointing, especially since the price suggests you're getting something more unique. read more

I'm a non-custard/cream filled pastry type of gal, so my selection at Bun Appetit consisted of their classic vanilla bean ring donut, kimchi spam puff pastry, brunch pastry, cheddar jalapeno biscuit, and sweet cinnamon butter bun. My favorite would probably have to be the most savoriest of the bunch -- the brunch pastry, which has an egg and bacon amongst a flaky and well-seasoned puff pastry. Next would be the kimchi spam puff pastry. The vanilla donut was lighter than most, which I didn't mind. The cheddar jalapeno biscuit leaned on the denser side and could have been more buttery. I did toast the pastries a bit to warm them up, as I had them the next day. I also pre-ordered them to be picked up on the weekend and the process was easy. The kimchi spam puff pastry is only available Fri-Sun as well! There's street parking as well as a shared parking lot, but the lot can get hectic if it's super busy. read more

Fun flavors and textures for donuts! I did come later in the afternoon so my options were limited as popular items sold out, but there were still a good amount of items to try. I would come back if I'm ever craving.

I stopped by after my Sunday morning Pilates class next door and there wasn't a line at all which was perfect. I got the ube donut, almond croissant, and an iced calamansi drink.

The parking lot is pretty spacious with 3-hour retail parking. I'd definitely come back! read more

We arrived around 2pm so most of the flavors were sold but I was still able to try the spam pastry, everything donut, tiramisu, chocolate hazelnut, and caprese pastry. We also ordered an iced vanilla latte and the calamansi juice. The savory donuts were really good. The everything donut was filled with cream cheese and I think was better than the bagel because it was soft and savory. The spam pastry was so delicious and was the very last one! It was so savory and umami but also sweet from the pastry a good blend of sweet and salty. Caprese pastry was ok probably wouldn't get again bit still a solid donut. Tiramisu and chocolate donuts were also delicious, can't go wrong with those. The drinks were also really good. The calamansi was on the more tart side which I loved. The workers worked fast despite a line out the door and overall it was a good experience read more

Here's a polished review you can use: I've been going to Bun Appétit for a while now, and their donuts are consistently delicious every single time. I really love how they rotate limited-edition flavors based on the season and holidays--it keeps things fun and always gives me something new to try. Everything tastes fresh and thoughtfully made. My only complaint is the price--I wish it was a bit more affordable because it's so good, I'd honestly go even more often! read more

My new donut obsession! Their lemon meringue donut might be the best donut i've EVER eaten. It's the perfect balance of tart lemon with a soft meringue topping.

Wow wow wow - these donuts were amazing. Very interesting take on a donut to make it flavorful with new variations of not so common flavors. The fillings were not over powering so you could taste the overall flavor of the dough. They had so many different flavors of donuts that are suited for everyone.

I don't think I've ever paid $6 for ONE doughnut in my life! Talk about inflation! These are definitely luxury doughnuts. Break your bank doughnuts. These aren't your cheap 7-11 doughnuts. My coworkers bought a box with the Easter bunny doughnut, Vietnamese doughnut, and some others. I bought one Vietnamese doughnut and a dalgona coffee. My other coworker bought a guava cheesecake doughnut. The flavors are intense and rich. It's definitely a sugar rush. I couldn't finish mine because it was way too sweet, but I loved the inside Vietnamese cream and really liked my Dalgona coffee. Everyone liked their fresh doughnuts and the flavors are exactly what they said they're going to be. For instance the guava cheesecake did taste like a creamy cheesecake. The line moves fast here and they're super friendly and patient. read more

Came by on a Sunday morning right before they opened and there was already a line -- luckily, it moved pretty fast. We tried the Blackberry Dubai and it was super good, and the Ultimate Avocado Toast is definitely my new favorite. We usually get the Chocolate Cream and Spam pastries too, and they never miss. So good every time. If you're ordering the matcha, just a heads-up -- it comes unsweetened by default, so be sure to ask for sweetener if that's your thing! Our total came to about $100 but we think it was worth it. The flavors are so creative and thoughtfully made -- everything looks and tastes like it was crafted with care. Definitely one of my favorite spots. read more

I'll start by saying that I did enjoy the flavors of the donuts I got - matcha, uba and guava cheesecake. They have a lot of different flavors to choose from, and I think there are some seasonal ones as well. However, for over $5 a donut, it was very pricey and I mostly disliked that prices were not displayed so you have no idea how much it costs until you pay. While I enjoyed the flavors, particularly the matcha and ube (guava was good but a bit too heavy on the cheesecake flavor for me), I'm not sure the donut exterior made it worth it. It wasn't bad, but also not mindblowing. Also the line was only like 4 people long but there was only a single cashier, so the ordering and paying part was a bottleneck of the experience. Other pastry shops will have someone help with selection and then you only go to the cashier when you are finished and ready to pay. Additionally, they are still disallowing dine-in, so it was solely a to-go place only. For donuts, it was probably fine overall, but would be nice to enjoy a coffee or something alongside the treats like most pastry shops. All in all, I wouldn't rush out of my way to come back, especially at the price point, but if I was in the area and craving donuts, I might give them another try. read more

As a loyal customer for years, I can confidently say Bun Appetit in Fremont is an absolute must-visit for any doughnut lover. This local gem has consistently served up some of the most outstanding and flavorful doughnuts I've ever had. What truly sets them apart is their exquisite taste profiles - these aren't your average doughnuts! They also keep things exciting with a fantastic selection of rotating seasonal items, so there's always something new to try. service is always great and friendly and they are really quick. There is hardly every any wait or lines at this store. Cute store with outdoor seatting only. My personal top picks are the incredible Guava Cheesecake (it's a revelation!), the savory-sweet perfection of the Everything Malasada, and the unique, delightful Injolmi flavor. I recently tried their new Banana doughnut, and it's another winner. Every doughnut at Bun Appetit is jam-packed with flavor and boasts an incredibly moist texture. You can tell the quality and passion that goes into each one. I've been a happy customer yearly since they opened, and I promise you, you'll become a fan too! read more

The donuts here look so tasty that I had to come by to try. They are higher end donuts -- think "bougie" donuts, so they run 5-9 (up to 12) dollars each. I do think the flavors and textures you get are worth the cost. I ordered a couple different donuts: chocolate cream, banana cream, tiramisu, and chocolate hazelnut. The tiramisu was probably my favorite -- good amount of cream, wonderful coffee flavor, and good blend of textures. I also really really liked the chocolate cream, it melts in your mouth. I think the banana cream one had good banana flavor without being overpowering. And last but not least the chocolate hazelnut has good crunch. I think worth the gourmet donut price, and definitely worth a try! The inside has limited seating but there are lots of tables and chairs outside. Service was very kind! read more
