    These are way better than bearded papa's IMHO not too sweet of a filling which is perfect !
    Andrew L.

    These are the best donut hole puff pastries ever! Light and fluffy and I would recommend bringing cash as it's $8.99 a dozen or $9.99 CC Heads up order at least 3 dozen as they are bite size and the owners are the sweetest! Support local small family owned businesses

    We discovered a charming donut shop while exploring the complex. Unlike modern stores, this one has an old-fashioned charm, featuring a regular glass display filled with donuts and tables with sofas for seating. The owner was incredibly friendly, and we had a delightful conversation. There are plenty of donut variations ftom just plain donut with sugar to filled donut. We purchased some donuts and tried the custard -filled donut holes, which the owner mentioned are their best sellers. Both the donuts and the donut holes were delicious.

    LOVE LOVE LOVE this place! The custard filled donut hole are the perfect amount of sweetness (as this is one of the highest forms of praise an Asian can give a dessert). These were a hit in my office and I think a box of 2 dozen only lasted about 15 minutes. The family running the shop are so nice, I've been back a couple of other times to try their other donuts too! They've also got plenty of seating so you can enjoy your food with your friends too.

    Okay y'all I've been kind of craving apple fritters since I kept seeing someone on TikTok go through the bay area donut shops to get apple fritters and well, my luck would have it, the boba shop I decided to get our weekly boba at was next to a donut shop and this girl just taught a pilates class so best I will be getting an apple fritter for sure. In short, it was crispy, a bit oily (but expected), a little dry on the edges, but good. L O C A T I O N This Christy's Donuts is located on N Capitol Ave in the neighborhood of Berryessa in San Jose. They do have parking shared with the other shops and restaurants. Parking was relatively easy and even their compact spots were fairly spacious for even my car. I N S I D E It's not huge inside but I was specifically wanting to go in and out fairly quickly as I was there for one thing. D O N U T S They still had a variety of items in the afternoon I arrived and well they had the apple fritter. I was absolutely tempted to get my favorite donut (an old fashioned), but I prevented myself from buying more than the apple fritter. The apple fritter was $3 and I paid in cash as I had it on hand. I took this large apple fritter back home and took a bite. It was soft, yet crispy. Had a nice cinnamon taste as well as a tang which made it hard to stop. It was like sweet and sour. Perhaps they use a sour cream for their batter. They had small pieces of apples and crisp edges which was a bit dry but that helped with the crispiness. You do taste the oil but it is deep fried so I can't fault them for the oiliness. S E R V I C E Folks there were quite friendly and I easily paid and got my item in a quick manner! O V E R A L L I'm not going to drive all the way here for a donut, but if you're in the area, it's a good one to get your donut needs as well as other donut-like items.

    This is the best to shop in the South Bay

    I come across to find this donut shop in South Bay. They have the best doughnut. The Service is fast . Atmosphere is excellent.

    Christy's Donuts in San Jose is a must-stop! The custard-stuffed donut holes were absolutely perfect--fresh, soft, and the filling was light and not too sweet. Great quality and flavor all around. I'll definitely be back for more!

    The donuts were so good, I had to try it before taking a picture :,D The donuts were so delicious, fluffy, and so airy!! The chocolate one was my favorite.

    Picked up some French Custard filled donut holes and regular plain donuts holes for the office. So good!

    I finally got to try this Fremont staple for the first time after everyone and their moms…read morerecommended 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

    I'm still recovering from the sticker shock. I haven't been here in a while, but yesterday I paid…read more$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!

    My favorite neighborhood donut shop! I've been coming here for years and you really can't go wrong…read morewith any of the donuts. The customer service is always great, and I love supporting a small local business like this. The donuts are made fresh daily, and I usually grab an assorted half dozen or full dozen so I can try a little bit of everything. Prices are also very reasonable! Highly recommend if you're in the area.

    My family and I have been enjoying Daily Donuts since My husband discovered them back in 2020…read more Their donuts are always fresh. I've never had a stale one, and for years all I knew them for was their donuts, but what prompted this review is their chorizo and egg croissant. Let me tell you if you didn't know, now you know - the bomb.com. From the first bite I thought my Mother was in their kitchen. Their chorizo and egg taste just like my Mom's, texture and all, not too wet, and not overcooked and dry. It's double the size of Starbucks or any other place one might cop a breakfast sandwich, but not at double the cost. That's also what I love about this shop, they've been around a while, so their prices remain reasonable, and they don't gouge the community. I enjoy all the staff I interact with. Even the gentleman that doesn't talk much is pleasant. I'm a sucker for great customer service, and at Daily Donuts it's given. The shop consist of your basic table and bench set-up one might see at most old school donut shops, nothing fancy- simple and basic. Ty, Daily Donuts for serving your community what I'd be willing to bet is one, if not thee best donut shop in the city.
