Polina L.

I woke up craving donuts this morning, which very rare for me, so I decided to treat myself. My favorite has always been a Boston cream donut (although I've never been to Boston to try the original one!). I chose this shop over places like Krispy Kreme because I loved that I could buy exactly the number of donuts with any flavor I wanted instead of committing to a dozen. That's a huge plus when there are only two people, because honestly, even one donut is pretty filling. I picked five flavors: * Boston Cream * Matcha Pistachio * Blueberry Cake * Old-Fashioned Glazed * Red Velvet Cream Cheese They all looked beautiful, but the taste is what really mattered. Matcha Pistachio - 10/10. Absolutely delicious! Great matcha flavor with a nice pistachio balance. Boston Cream - 10/10. Everything I hoped for. Rich, creamy, and definitely my favorite classic. Old-Fashioned Glazed wasn't really my style, but my husband enjoyed it. Blueberry Cake was a bit disappointing to me because the blueberry flavor tasted a little artificial. Our least favorite was the Red Velvet Cream Cheese. I love red velvet cake, especially when it's paired with cherries or raspberries for some freshness, but this donut was simply too sweet and didn't have much balance. Overall, I'd definitely recommend this place. They have a huge variety of flavors, you can mix and match however you like, and most of the donuts we tried were excellent. If I'm craving donuts again, this will definitely be one of the first places I'll come back to.

Chocolate donut

Was in the area and craving a fresh donut. Found this place and it did not disappoint. Parking was easy inside the little plaza which looked like an old converted motel. They have both a front and a back entrance. Inside they had all kinds of goodies, including donuts, croissants, cronuts, coffee, and much more. All the pastries are a huge portion. The nice woman offered to warm up my croissant. I also got a chocolate glazed donut. Both were really good, and fresh. Highly recommend if you're in the area and craving some delicious pastries.

Ube glazed donut.  They have Ube cake donuts too

Matcha donuts. Ube donuts. Cronuts. Open 24 hours. Whaaaat?! Yes. 24 hours. Hubs used to live in the neighborhood, so we visited Chuck's more than a few times. And do you know what? Every single time we came by, service was always patient, helpful, & friendly. Every. Single. Time. Having tried a vast assortment, I can say that donut wise, all are good, & some are great. The standout for me is definitely the Ube donut. Hands down. The fritter was my least favorite (tended to be dry). No frills. Interior is old school donut shop. But that is part of the charm. 4 stars

Pistachio donut
Sho R.

I stopped by on a weekday afternoon. The place was not too crowded. There were a ton of types of donut. Nutella filled donut and choclolate cronut were my favorites. Pistachio donut was good as well. Surprised to see that this place operates 24 hours. I will be back to try more donuts.

Blueberry fritter, everything bagel with egg and sausage,  and a cup of some damn good coffee.
Solomon C.

Ok a co- worker and her hubby introduced this place to me. At first I thought, there is no way on God's blue Earth is this place as good as they describe. How WRONG I was. Coffee was really good, the best blueberry fritter that I ever had. The bagel with egg and sausage changed my life. An the place seems to be popular. I definitely enjoyed the food and service.

Overhyped. Came here on Jan 3, 2026, parking is a bit tight so be careful. Bought a blueberry fritter, matcha glazed and ube glazed and the total was $15 which is INSANE. Cashier said cash only and never offered to heat it up, went right back to talking on the phone with his wife or girlfriend back home. The blueberry fritter was decent, just the right amount of sweetness. The ube and matcha glazed were awful. It was just regular flavored sugar put on top. Donut was definitely old and sitting.

Menu

Overall 2.5 stars maybe even 2.6. It's over priced, overhyped and underwhelming in my opinion The donuts are pretty sweet, a bit too sweet for my taste. I think the glaze makes it even more sweet, and I was hoping for a more balanced flavor We paid $18 for 4 donuts, and they only accept Venmo or cash. $18 for four donuts feels pretty steep, especially when the donuts were just okay I love croissants, so I wanted to try their cronut (a croissant-donut) and we their traditional donut. We also got the blueberry fritter-thing donut and the strawberry-filled one. We tried a bit of each but they were too sweet for us and felt blah after eating, you know the blah feeling after you eat something meh? The customer service is okay, nothing crazy The parking lot is a bit small but not bad. The location is decent, and the interior is cozy with some seating available. We took ours to go

DOUGHNIES
Peter T.

Pretty insane variety. Fruity pebble stuff stripped frosting things. I'm a basic old foggie I like Maple bars. This one was solid. Fluffier on the inside but still tasted deep fried or something. Huge collection, short line, moderate prices. I think our 4 doughnuts were $18? Don't live here, would recommend it but don't think I'll come back.

Fresh Apple Fritter to go
Paula C.

I so wish this place had been around when I was pregnant and craving a glazed donut in the middle of the night! Chuck's Donuts is SO SO good. I usually stop by on my way home around 6 AM after an overnight shift, and their Apple Fritter is my absolute favorite -- it's huge, still warm, and honestly impossible to resist. I end up picking at it in the car, and it's gone before I even make it home! The people who work there are super friendly, the place is well lit and I love that they even have a vegan section. The only thing to note is they accept cash or Venmo only (no credit cards), but it makes sense since most orders are small. Totally worth going a little out of my way when the craving hits!

This chucks doughnuts is ok. I like their doughnuts and variety but the egg sandwich's were not fresh as they claimed to be! Also, a small line turned into a monstrosity because of their relatively slow staff . Overall I would only order the doughnuts from here. The water was also good. ACTUALLY we just paid for our ONE EGG CROISSANT #4 & water bottle and guess how much it cost. SIXTEEN DOLLARS AND SEVENTY EIGHT CENTS

I purchased 2 ube donuts and 2 lemon fillings, each $5!
Danna E.

Out of spontaneouity, or more like out of impulse last Sunday morning to relive the deliciousness of a lemon filled donut, I decided to check this shop out again. (Since the closest shop in Belmont is not as good or doesn't have much variety as this location). Plus the last time a bought a dozen variety for my coworkers back in 2021, everyone in clinic loved the donuts! I arrived around 1230 p.m. and was lucky to be served right away and surprised to find two more donuts of the Ube flavor left, I snatched these up as they looked interesting! Also, the man behind the counter made the lemon filled donuts for me. Apparently the flavors I chose were specialties and cost altogether, $20 for 4 donuts! Whatever, I thought and bought them anyway and was not disappointed. The Ube flavored donut was delicious, crispy as one other Yelper commented (but only bc of the dry frosting on top of the donut). Either my taste buds were off, but I couldn't tell if this actually tasted like Ube, but it was delicious nevertheless. The lemon flavored donut was my favorite. I know the filling is an artificial lemon flavor, but that didn't matter as it was still my favorite Lol. Getting here can be tricky; you're either coming in from the main road (Woodside) or if at the intersection you make a right or left on Orchard Avenue, there is this tight entrance with low clearance you can drive your car through. The parking lot is plenty, but shared with other businesses. Imagine coming here during rush hour! So try to go first thing in the morning or maybe on the weekend? Stop by and get your donut fix at Chuck's Donuts!

Apple Fritter
Angilene I.

Came here on a Saturday night. We we're 3rd in line but plenty of donuts out! They had already run out of blueberry fritters (around 6:45pm). We got 2 apple fritters instead and a regular glaze donut. Loved both donuts! Would highly recommend coming here.

How many varieties of vegan donut are available daily (usually)?

How is the flavor selection at night? Do they have the same selection of donuts at night as they do in the morning?

I once went in at around 9pm on a week day and they still had a huge selection! I didn't notice any donuts missing.

Do your donuts contain eggs?

While I'd be shocked if most of their donuts don't have eggs, they do have vegan options (which wouldn't have eggs).

The inside has such a pretty aesthetic, with a few inside tables to How to order is with an iPad kiosk, so card payment only. The menu selection is nice and simple, offering matcha and hojicha options. There are also small desserts like cheesecakes, cake rolls whole or slice and tiramisu. This tea shop is nice to go to after work to relax and decompress for a bit. Items my coworker and I ordered- * Hojicha Strawberry Latte - light sweet, soy milk and less ice. Rating 5/5 * Hojicha Cake Roll slice. Rating 5/5 * Matcha Latte - light sweet, oat milk, less ice. Rating 5/5

This cafe specializes in Asian inspired drinks, roll cakes, basque cheesecakes, as well as Japanese puddings. The interior is super Japandi / minimalistic aesthetic. Their desserts have also been officially marked as "not too sweet" by my inlaws so you know it's got that Asian parent stamp of approval! I haven't tried the basque cheesecakes and the puddings, but have been a repeat customer for their roll cakes. So far I've tried their matcha, coffee, and black sesame roll cakes and all are fantastic. Super strong flavors and the chiffon cake isn't too dry. I will say for a single slice the price is quite steep, but it /is/ located in Palo Alto so rent is not cheap I would assume. Also if you wanted an entire roll, you have to order 2 business days in advance.

Unfortunately, this visit felt like a restaurant that's lost some of its spark. Happy hour was actually a pleasant surprise. The prices are excellent and make it easy to sample a variety of dishes. The Polpette and prosciutto with melon were enjoyable, but the croquettes were forgettable. The mussels and shrimp didn't taste particularly fresh, which was disappointing. The chicken had an unusual texture--somewhere between a chicken nugget and a crab cake. It just wasn't for me, The biggest letdown was the Bigoli e Coda. The pasta still had its signature chewy texture, but the sauce felt oily instead of rich, the braised oxtail lacked the deep, slow-cooked flavor I remembered, and the entire dish desperately needed seasoning. It used to be one of those dishes I'd recommend without hesitation. Not anymore. The seafood entrée was probably the strongest dish of the night, but even there it fell short. The fish was properly cooked, yet the skin lacked the crisp, golden finish that makes a skin-on fillet so satisfying. It was another dish that felt underseasoned and never quite came to life. That was really the theme of the evening: almost everything felt underseasoned. Nothing was inedible--it just lacked the vibrant flavors and careful execution that made Donato stand out years ago. I'm hoping this was simply an off night because Donato has earned a lot of goodwill over the years. But when a longtime favorite no longer tastes like the restaurant you remember, it's hard not to leave a little disappointed.

They have wifi for those who need to work remotely and the food was amazing. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Some of my favorites were the beet salad, the ham and cheese croissant sandwich, the Mediterranean sandwich, the apple mini tarts, and the tomato soup. If you're looking for a deal, they have a lunch special from 11 AM to 4 PM That includes a sandwich, a salad, a small pastry and a drink/coffee for $15. The employees are extremely accommodating and provide amazing service. I am allergic to eggs and lactose intolerant. They can modify almost everything based on dietary restrictions. I also tend to struggle with gluten (Im not celiac) but had no issues with their croissants. They use really fresh ingredients and everything's clearly made day of.
