    This donut shop has been on my bucket list for a while, and I finally got to try it because the seasonal Afternoon Tea series was just too gorgeous to resist! The one crowned with a radish flower is Jardin Fraîche. It's a savoury donut filled with herb cucumber cream, inspired by the tea sandwiches in a traditional afternoon tea set. So refreshing! This was my favorite of the three. I've never had a donut that tasted like this before. The red one is the Raspberry Milk Tea flavor. The tartness of the raspberry balances the sweet English milk tea cream filling perfectly. I also love the tiny scone on top. It's just so cute! The last pink one is Peach Apricot. It was a bit too sweet for me, but my husband liked it. Either way, the handcrafted buttercream flower on top is absolutely lovely. These donuts are definitely pricey at $9-10 each, but the flavors are so creative and every single one is a work of art. I'd happily pay for them again

    Had the kimchi croissant masubi. Flaky, crispy and not spicy. A must order. I got the Boston cream filled pastry. Too much cream. But delicious. No seating inside but a few tables out side. Lots of workers that were friendly. Not too sure I will come back

    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

    Clockwise: strawberry, blueberry lemon, Easter nest, tiramisu

    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!

    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

    The parking situation can be a problem. By luck we were able to find a spot. I picked up some donuts and pastries from this small shop with just a few patio tables outside. It's a pick up and go service. They most definitely run out of certain items so the best thing to do is look up their menu. It will allow you to see what is available and what's sold out. My family enjoyed everything, their favorites were the banana and biscoff cream filled pastries. Delicious and not too sweet. They have coffee and tea options and I decided on the lemonade tea. Nice and refreshing. Nice spot for something unique and sweet.

    The setting of the store reminds me of those cafes you see in Korean dramas. Its very clean, modern and in my opinion a timeless interior design. When you walk in, youre greeted with a huge display case of their beautiful donuts! I came in for the first time the other day and I was greeted with a warm welcome upon walking inside. (It wasn't busy at the time i went so i got to take my time choosing my donuts). Amber was so sweet, she helped me box up my order and went over the flavors of the donuts i chose before closing the box in front of me. I got the black sesame, churro, matcha hazelnut, chocolate hazelnut, melona and the blueberry cream filled. Let me tell you these donuts are perfect if you dont like anything too sweet. My mom who usually splits one donut over the span of 3-4 days to finish, ate her entire blueberry donut in one sitting without even sharing. They do recommend that you enjoy them asap or to place them in an airtight container so they don't dry out. I did not do so, so my donut dried out (eating a dry but delicious day old donut as i write this). All in all my experience was amazing and I will definitely be coming back to try that guava donut if its there!!! I also recommend checking out and exploring their website. They have a gallery of the donuts they've created and case studies of how they come up with their flavors!

    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.

    I'm drooling

    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!

    We came by this place when we're taking a walk by fremont and everything looks so good the moment you enter the shop. Service was good too, they were fast and really accommodating. We decided to try 4 of their donuts: Hazelnut: 10/10, not too sweet and it was fresh, dough was still soft. Melona: 10/10, really good melon flavor, not too overpowering and blends well with the dough. Mango Cream: 10/10, mango cream was not artificially flavored, really tasted the sweet mango and sugar donut was really good. Strawberry Cheesecake: 10/10, honestly my favorite of all the 4, strawberry on top was really fresh, it also has this cheesecake filling inside that surprisingly really tasted like cheesecake, unlike other places that only put a heavy dollop of cream cheese filling. Highly recommend trying this flavor out. Drinks: Calamansi: 10/10, if you love calamansi juice, this one is a good hit, it's sour and refreshing just how calamansi juice tastes back home in the Philippines. Caribbean Smoothie: 10/10, really refreshing and pairs well with the donuts we ordered. Would definitely come back!

    Guava Cheesecake, Pistachio Cream, Chocolate Hazelnut

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Wow!!! This is a Legit 5 Star Breakfast Sandwich and Donut Shop in the heart of Fremont…read more I love their breakfast sandwich in a croissant or even on a bagel.We ordered the famous hotlink sausage,everything sandwich and it is all great. The highlight of their breakfast sandwich is that you can customize your egg whether sunny side up or scrambled egg unlike the other typical store that only offers super soft,soggy and or microwaved scrambled egg and that for me is a no no. Here you will enjoy your sandwich with all freshly cooked ingredients. Their bread like croissant,bagels and donuts are made and freshly baked everyday.As you walked inside the store, you will mesmerized with all the freshly baked goodies that you can't resist. Coffee is just a plain brewed coffee and nothing fancy but it is real coffee anyways. The staff/owner is so friendly and accomodating,He is so patient with my questions since it is my first time there. I will definitely come back and try their other deliciois baked goodies for sure. You may pay them thru cash,venmo or zelle as well so that is so convenient for customers.

    Fresh Bagels and Donuts is one of those rare local spots that deserves its loyal following…read more Friendly, welcoming owner The owner is incredibly kind, full of positive energy and somehow remembers almost everyone's name. You can immediately tell people come back here regularly. Great donuts Huge variety without being overly fancy--just really good donuts that hit the spot. My favorite is the maple cinnamon twist, but it sells out FAST. Most popular items do, so get there before 9:00 a.m. for the best selection. Amazing breakfast sandwiches Some of the best bagel sandwiches I've had, especially for the price. Highly recommend the croissant sausage, egg and cheese sandwich. Come prepared Cash and Zelle only. There's a Bank of America ATM across the parking lot if needed. Overall, this place has that true neighborhood breakfast spot feel: great food, fair prices and genuinely wonderful people.

    I went on a Saturday around noon, and most of the flavors were already sold out. They ended up…read morehaving 2 flavors of their malasadas remaining, alongside some donuts and guava cheesecake. The malasadas were definitely good. It feels like care went into each one--they tasted all homemade and fresh. They definitely did not skimp out on cream or filling. I'm typically not a fan of desserts, but these had the perfect level of sweetness for me. The fruits were nice and ripe as well. The two flavors I got were the blueberry matcha and the mango. The blueberry matcha had this nice rich blueberry jam mixed in with cream that actually has a good matcha taste. The mango one was really fresh--this one was my favorite. Although they aren't cheap at about $6.25 per one, they were definitely delicious. It seems like a family run business that puts a lot of care into their products though. I'll be returning but maybe more as a nice treat rather than a regular go-to.

    We happened to be nearby and were in search of a coffee and Doughweime happened to be in the same…read moreshopping complex so we walked over to give it a try. There were a few people in line and it did take about 10 minutes before we were able to order. During that time, some of the malasada flavors ran out, but they were quickly replenished. We grabbed an assortment of flavors, an iced oat latte, and a black sesame latte. The banana creme brulee malasada looked so good that we had to try it in the store while waiting for our drinks. The dough is so soft and pillowy with a crispy layer of bruleed sugar and a delicious banana cream that was absolutely to die for. At $6.50, it's not a cheap treat, but it was super delicious and I'm glad we tried it. The drinks were also great. The espresso shot they pulled perfectly complemented the oat milk -- this is one of the better iced oat lattes I've had. We tried the black sesame latte because it sounded interesting and it was so creamy and loaded with black sesame flavor. For anyone that doesn't drink caffeine, I highly recommend you try the black sesame latte. With such great quality malasadas and drinks, it's no wonder there was a line! We'll definitely be back!
