    Nice little donut shop to visit when you are craving donuts, coffee, and bagels. It's convenient for me as I live less than a mile away and enjoy picking up breakfast for my family on the weekends. Great customer service and a family friendly environment.

    I've ordered donuts through DoorDash from here twice already & both times the donuts are BOMB! Good for simple donuts. Super fluffy, airy, perfect amount of icing/sweetness. The strawberry coconut donut, BOMB, the chocolate glaze, BOMB, the donut holes, BOMB. I have yet to go inside as it's literally down the street from where I live. My kids love the donuts here, & it always tastes fresh. 10/10 recommend. New favorite donut spot.

    A glorious dozen!!! Assortment

    My favorite donut spot in my neighborhood! I've been going here for many years and it's always consistent with there donuts, bagels, etc. It's always a pleasure to stop in and grab some breakfast here. Customer service is phenomenal They are always helpful and kind! The aroma of this place is so euphoric! It seems to be popular that makes there customers keep coming back!

    It's the first time trying this shop. I've passed it several times and finally realized it was a donut/sandwich place. I was in and was warmly greeted by the man at the counter. I assume the owner as it seemed like a small mom and pop place. While I was still thinking of what to get, they helped some other customers who seemed like regulars. I got an apple fritter, and he threw in an extra donut - chocolate raised in my bag. Very nice of him. The apple fritter was crispy/crunchy on the outside, while the inside was soft and moist. The apple bits were all over the fritter. The donuts are classic flavors, so if you are looking for something spectacular or elaborate concoctions. This place is not for you.

    I was hosting an early work event for about 65 people and long story short -- the ball was dropped on ordering breakfast. I thought to myself, 'where could I pick up something within the next 30 minutes and be on my way to fight the merry experience of Friday morning traffic to make it on time to the event I was hosting?' I knew Dawn Donuts would save the day, and they did! I gave them a ring and told them I needed 3 boxes of assorted bagels and one box of assorted donuts. I knew some people at my event are on diets so I figured those people could split a bagel with someone -- that's why I ordered 4 dozen boxes and not 5. Anyway, when I arrived -- per usual, there was a line out the door. It's a given because this shop offers donuts of every kind, croissant sandwiches, bagels with cream cheese, coffee, smoothies, lattes, etc. It really is the ideal neighborhood shop to pick up all things sweet and savory for a quick breakfast. Considering how long the line was and with two ladies in the front running the house (and they were hustling with a great sense of urgency!) -- a young man ended up assisting me with my big phone order. He had everything boxed with 3 cream cheese spreads on the side and ready to go within 30 minutes of my putting the phone order in. He even put everything on a cart and walked me to my car so I didn't have to juggle the boxes on my own. Awesome service I must say. The total was $155 for the bagels and donuts, and I left a $25 tip. Appreciate how these guys came through for me at the 11th hour. Support locally owned small businesses!

    The prices are too high and the owner is not accommodating to someone who spent $100 or more in her bakery to allow me to get condiments from the customers self serve areas asking me to pay for condiments.

    The best doughnuts in East San Jose. Every donut always tastes fresh, soft, and warm. Definitely better than Peter's Bakery.

    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 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.

I've heard…read moreabout this place before and had seen many reviews about the custard filled donut holes on TikTok! I'm glad I finally got to try them. I came at around 8:20am. There was a good amount of premade custard filled donut holes on display. Despite them being prefilled and on display, the donut holes were still crispy and not soggy! I was delighted from the first bite. The prefilled donut holes are different from the regular ones. They are glazed and more similar to a cream puff which makes them super tasty. I love the irregular shapes of each of them and how big they were. The cream puff texture is what makes this custard filled donut holes not feel heavy when you eat them. Very yummy and addicting. The service was okay. I was greeted by both ladies at the counter and the worker who had assisted me seemed very attentive. I got a dozen cream filled donut holes which were 8.99. I would say thats pretty expensive but for about .75 cents per donut hole, i'd say it's worth it. The ambiance was okay but for a donut shop I wouldn't really say that matters. The inside is a bit outdated but most people come and go anyways. The display looked clean too. I went to the location on Berryessa.
