Donut Den is a cash only spot, so be prepared. I had the donuts here many of times and they are very good, but this time I was craving a breakfast sandwich. I got an egg and sausage bagel for $5.75 and it tasted great. The customer service is great and everyone is really friendly. read more

Don't think you can continue to get away with it. I love supporting small businesses but I will not be returning to your shop. I don't mind that you do cash only. So you don't want to pay debit or credit card fees, however to assume you can take all my change from a $5 for a $3.60 purchase is ludicrous. Your donut was very good but I hate businesses that practice spare change grab beyond 15 or 18%. You can keep taking advantage of working people but some day it will all stop and where would you be. Trolls out there will say what the big deal is. I work hard for my money and I understand how the economy is but it doesn't give a business a right to just freely take it. read more

Donut Den is located in a tiny strip mall off of De La Cruz Blvd. There are only about four shops in the mall, and it's right next to Subway Sandwiches. Parking could be tough during peak hours. CASH ONLY! So, plan ahead. I picked up a dozen donuts. The signage says $24, which I thought was steep. But, when he rang it up, it was only $16 for one dozen. The donuts are classic flavors. No frilly, wild concoctions. Glazed donut was good, decent. Chocolate Old Fashion. Dark chocolate and the edges were crispy. Overall 3.5 stars. read more

CASH ONLY. On my drive over to get my massage from Ross Massage, I considered going to Kenny's Cafe but alas they were closed for the day and also on the other side of the street. It was a hot day and I needed a drink and didn't feel like going to Subway next door. I got a sugar cruller donut and decided to relive my middle school days and quenched my thirst with the class Jasmine iced tea. I was promptly assisted by someone in the back. I asked if I could please have a cup of ice (they don't serve fountain drinks here, just hot coffee/ tea and a fridge of drinks). I was asked if I was ok with using the paper cups for the hot coffee (because iced drinks is not a standard item here) and I was grateful to get anything. Considering they were closing in 10 minutes I asked if it was ok for me to take a seat at the table and they said of course. I ended up sitting a little past closing time and a customer after me and I didn't get a sense of being rushed out. I'll return again! read more

Donut Den - Bakeries Near Me - Santa Clara, California

I've stopped here a few times in the past 6 years I've worked in the vicinity. Each time I've been warmly greeted and they get you outta there in record time. They have donuts, coffee, bagels and an array of sandwiches. I knew I had to work through lunch and didn't bring one from home so stopped in. You can't really go wrong with a turkey club on a croissant. Veggies were fresh, lots of turkey and bacon and the croissant was huge. Croissant was flaky and soft. Sandwich comes standard with red onion and jalapeños so if you aren't a fan make the request to omit these ingredients when you order it. Parking can get a little "hairy". If you can park on the curb in front of Subway, you may be safer. The parking lot is tight and shared with 2 other places. I'll be back, I'm sure. read more

Yum donuts! Have driven by this donut shop a few times and finally decided to pick up a dozen on my way to work for a co-worker's birthday. The donuts were fresh and fluffy! Had a big variety to pick from at 7:45 am and the employees were friendly. Regular donuts are 6 for $7, the jelly and custard are a little more and the apple fritters are $2.25. I picked glazed, crumb raised glazed, glazed old fashioned, chocolate custard and apple fritters. They were all tasty, the chocolate custard could have a bit more filling though. My favorite was the apple fritter! They were nice and crunchy and huge! Will definitely be back for more. Their breakfast sandwiches also sound yummy so will have to try those sometime too. Also, they are a cash only business would be great if they started taking credit cards. read more

This review is earned because earlier today I have called to ask if they have vegan options, and they said yes, but then when I arrived, they said that they do not! What kind of horrific business practice is this!?! That is unprofessional and has no place in the business world, saying one thing and then later something different! read more

This place is your classic donut shop! Note that they are strictly cash only. They've got the standard flavors, old fashion donuts, bars, twists, donut holes, apple fritters, and hot coffee brewing. I drive by this place every day and have only been able to drop by once since I rarely carry cash, but nothing beats this style of donuts. No over-the-top flavors, no gimmicks, just classic fluffy donuts. I picked up a dozen of a mixed variety which came out to $15. I brought these to work and they were gone instantly. Safe to say I'll be coming back here for more! read more

I definitely love coming here and I love their turkey sandwiches. I also love their donuts as well. Great customer service cleanliness overall great place to be for breakfast and lunch for sandwiches. read more

Cash only! Friendly staff and fast service. Surprisingly the plain bagel with cream cheese is soooo good - it's fluffy and soft, one of my favorite bagels. The donuts are good, but some donuts from the batch definitely had more of an oily taste, while others were pure perfection. A dozen donuts cost $15 and the bagel with cream cheese $2.75. read more

Hands down the best donuts. Been going here for over 30 years. Apple fritters are A+!!

I used to come here every morning and have a bagel sandwich and now I come in and I'm told to wait an hour to make the bagels. What changed?

Hubs and I came to pick up quick bite after visiting the Lexus dealership. Hubs ordered ham, bacon, and cheese croissant breakfast sandwich 4.5/5 I ordered the ham sandwich in a croissant 5/5 Simple yet so delicious and had all the fixings in there mayo, mustard, lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, and jalapeños. Def will be back to try the donuts! read more

Great fresh doughnuts. Good service. But only take cache! Seriously? Can we move on to 2023, please? read more

Was able to come into work before 6AM one day last week so I told them I will bring in a box of donuts. They were surprised I followed through. I didn't try any of the donuts but my team devoured them and said they were good. I like how it is rather close to work but what I didn't like is their "cash only" policy. Friendly and fast service. Vietnamese owners. read more

Went in with a coworker to satisfy our donut craving & got just that - a satisfying donut . Customer service was good and the wait wasn't long Noticed on here it says they accept credit/debit, but when we got to the counter it said "cash only". read more

Never had donuts from this establishment before. They weren't terrible donuts, there was just some odd taste to them. Not sure if it was old oil, but they did not taste fresh. read more

This review is for the Apple fritter I had today. It was quite possibly the freshest and fluffiest one I've ever had and I've had many! I got it around 1pm not at 7am when I imagine donuts would be even fresher! It wasn't oily at all either :-) I'll be back. Sadly I finished the donut before taking a photo. read more

I wanted to get some donuts for coworkers and always pass by Donut Den on the way to work so I figured it was about time I stop by! The parking lot is quiet small but I still managed to find a spot. Walking in, I was greeted with smiles but I noticed the selection was a bit limited. It must have been written on my face because the older gentleman told me he had a busy morning so there wasn't as much variety as usual. No worries though, they still had plenty for me to choose from! I went with various glazed goodies, some filled donuts and the more dense cake texture ones as well. He was so nice and patiently explained what each one was because I couldn't tell what things were filled with. When I went to pay, the younger woman gave me the total and I was surprised! I expected it to be more but she told me he gave me a great deal. He also threw in some donut holes that I admittedly devoured before making it into work lol. I love the feel of friendly mom and pop shops like this so they will definitely be getting my donut business from now on! read more

They were almost sold out of their donuts and it was only 10 am. Its that good. The sandwiches are also superb! Definitely recommend this place. read more

I have fond, fond memories of this place but unfortunately not necessarily stemming from good circumstances. They are located right next to Santa Clara Sports Therapy where I attended therapy for a pretty bad accident for six months once or twice a week. So I had a lot of time to hang around this little donut place and it was sort of my go-to whenever I was hungry or wanted something on the run. Sure, there's a Subway right next door ... but what's the fun in that? I can only speak for the donuts in the morning because any great donut place will have stale gross donuts at the end of the day since they really only make them once or twice during the day but ... man when they're fresh, they are THE BOMB. I love that this place uses a glaze that's actually marginally less sweet than many other places with glazed doughy donuts. They really allow the dough flavor to come through. I guess you can say this place is way more FRIED and oily than others but that's what makes a donut delicious! Totally recommend you make a pit stop here if you're in the area in the morning. So worth it! CASH ONLY. read more

I come here often. The staff is friendly and the food is good. They make an excellent croissant sandwich. My favorite is the #5. They also have killer chocolate old fashion donuts if you need something sweet. Great place to stop to get donuts for the office or a quick fresh lunch. read more

I enjoy supporting small local businesses and I would definitely recommend others to check this place out. read more

These guys have great donuts, but they always fuck up my order. But the fact that I go here anytime I'm in San Jose is a testament to the donut quality. But again be warned, the cashier has never gotten my order right. The cashiers often don't seem to be too knowledgable about the donut selection, but luckily whoever cooks them does such a great job that all the donuts taste great!! read more

Great friendly family owned business. The husband and wife warmly greets you in the morning which helps put you in a good mood for the day. All their donuts and pastries are freshly baked. I usually come here for the egg and cheese croissants which are perfectly toasted. Great quick in and out breakfast spot that is a minute away from my work :) read more

Donut Den on De La Cruz opens at 3:30 am. Way to go! Works for me. I be up. Don't ask.......... Is it me or are donuts getting expensive? Are all donuts expensive nowadays? Glazed or old fashioned dozen is $7.25 Crueller or twist dozen - $8.50 Apple fritter or pastry dozen - $11.50 Sorry co-workers. At these rates, only I'm getting a donut. Every (wo)man for himself. Also, they have a yummy looking ham and cheese croissant......haven't had it yet.....$2.25. Got be an early bird to catch that worm, they go fast. read more

Great place to get freshly made donuts. The coffee is kind of weak but I'm not a big coffee drinker. Their cinnamon rolls, apple fritters and maple bars are my favorites. Their old fashion style have crispy edges and moist centers. The parking lot is small and the intersection where they're at can get busy in the early morning hours. So if you're tired of stale grocery store krispy creme type donut, give this place a shot. read more

This place rocks! Mission Statement: - Work week sucked - partially my fault - I need a donut, and I imagine my co-workers do too - Buy enough donuts for whole company!! I work for a small startup, so "whole company" isn't as bad as it sounds. A quick Yelp later and this place is the closest donut shop to the office, and it's gotten a few good reviews. As I approach I'm trying to figure how many people are in my office. Math has never been my strong point, but low to mid 20's is my guess, so I'm going in looking for 25 donuts to be on the safe side. I wander in and check this place's menu - they sell by the dozen (amongst many other quantity/price models) - two dozen is almost 25 - right? I check the prices and realize this place is great value, so it's one dozen at low price (which gets me far more fancy than a regular donut) and one dozen at medium price (which includes some pretty fancy delicacies). The guy loads the two boxes with all sorts and varieties of donuts and fancier stuff. I had a chocolate covered and custard filled example of the genre - it was delicious (the custard was perfect) - and I heard nothing but compliments from the co-workers. Even though quite a few folks were out sick or on vacation, no donut was left behind. As I said as the beginning, this place rocks! read more

I like coming here because its close to work. They are right on the corner next door to subway and down the street from the airport. They're donuts are delicious and since i always buy a few dozen, they give me a few complimentary. read more

Donut Den - Low calorie and high in protein!! - Bakeries Near Me - Santa Clara, California

Donut Den is a great one of those mom and pop shops that everyone should support. Conveniently located a few blocks off 101 and De La Cruz, Donut Den serves fluffy, hot donuts just in time for breakfast. The glaze donut is not overly sweet as Krispy Kreme. The ham and cheese croissant is a MUST. I swear I could eat 3 of these at a time if I was 20 pounds lighter. Support your local mom and pop stores! read more

Had a craving for donuts so after checking up on nearby places here at Yelp, I decided to visit the Donut Den. My son and I arrived a little "late" in the Donut Den day around 8:45am and the selection was really slim. However, we did really only go for donut holes and ended up scoring 3 dozen (so he could share at daycare!) without a problem. The donut holes were glazed and oh so yummy! Unlike many other places, the glaze was just right and not too sweet. My son gobbled up two in the car before we even got to his daycare just a few minutes away. I also got a custard filled and cinniman crunch cake donut to try at home. These were both some of the best I've had on the west coast! I'll definitely be back.to this Donut Den to try some more goodies, hopefully I can get there in the wee hours of the morning! Donuts were great, prices were dirt cheap, and the service was fast and friendly! Something to keep in mind, bring cash, they don't take credit cards. Thankfully some other Yelpers were kind enough to point this out otherwise I may have left without any goodies on my first visit. read more

My family loves this donut shop! We recently moved and it's no longer the closest shop but it beats every other one we've tried. I haven't had anything I've disliked here - I just tried a cinnamon roll and it just might be my favorite thing ever. It was amazingly soft and melted in my mouth. This place is simple but delicious. They know how to make great donuts! Try it now! read more

I don't like leaving negative reviews but this just wasn't a great experience. I needed to pick up donuts for my office and this place was the closest. I walked in and it wasn't super clean, although staff was friendly, I saw the woman at the register wipe her nose on her shirt which kind of turned me off right from the start. I ordered a dozen donuts and tried to pay but was informed they only took cash, although I understand the reasons behind it, I expect the donuts to be stellar if I have to pay a $2 fee to withdrawl cash! But the donuts were tiny! Let me emphasize the size was very small! Nothing special about it, really dissapointed. Won't be coming back :( It's obvious the owners care though everyone was friendly, Ide add another 1/2 star for that if I could read more
