    Chocolate and regular glazed donuts
    Richard H.

    Located on Santa Rita Road, next to the newly opened Philz Coffee. This is a great place to enjoy freshly made donuts! I recommend their chocolate glazed donuts, which was a perfectly round donut and chocolate topping.

    Happy to see a donut shop was open on Thanksgiving, I stopped in to pick up donuts and coffee for the family. They were busy too, but the line moved fast. I picked up an apple fritter and five frosted cake donuts. Everything was delicious. Great spot for great donuts at a reasonable price.

    BLT Club and Mango Smoothie

    They have added sandwiches as well as Smoothies and tea drinks. I got the BLT Club and Mango Smoothie, both of them were delicious. Service was fast and fresh. Also the new look and donuts are great as well.

    Donut King is amazing. The little pink and white stripped box contains yummy goodness of donuts. Caution: May be addictive! I love their donuts. Not heavy and never greasy tasting. I like a different one in town also but my highest rating goes to this one! My favorite are the raised crumb and many other donut shops don't carry them. Props to DONUT KING!

    Assorted donuts that were all tasty!

    Walking in reminds me of the classic donut shops I grew up with in Southern California, so definitely nostalgic in that way. And the service definitely delivers as they were friendly and helpful to everyone, ranging from young students grabbing a donut before school to older retirees that are regulars. Oh and the donuts are excellent too! People often have their preferred style of donut. I found these to be pretty light, non-greasy and on the cakier side, with all of the usual types of donuts. My work crew certainly appreciated this end of week treat!

    Glazed Old Fashioned Chocolate with Nuts

    This is the best doughnut shop in Pleasanton. When I arrived late morning half of their doughnut selection was gone, so if you want their yummy doughnut holes come between opening and 8 in the morning. I selected my favorite the glazed old fashioned and ventured out of my comfort zone to the delicious chocolate doughnut with nuts. The staff is friendly and prices start at $1.95. They have coffee, bottled water, orange juice, apple juice, strawberry milk, and chocolate milk available for purchase. $5 minimum if you use your debit/credit cards. Look no further, Donut King is the place to go for delicious doughnuts.

    My first visit this morning to this mom n pop local donut shop in Pleasanton. Their donuts as others reviews taste really good. Very fluffy and not too sweet. The taste is perfect. I am really surprised that they open so early at 4:30! I got here around 7am and there are plenty of selections. I bought this for an event and everyone enjoyed this delicious breakfast. The owners are super friendly. Easy parking and this place is surprisingly busy. I was only there for a few minutes and a handful of customers came and go like regulars. Support our local small business also makes me feel good :) there are several table for you to sit down if you want yo come here for a coffee/ donut. The place is well kept and clean. We will be coming back.

    Donuts are delish! Had breakfast nearby and brought donuts for the kids! The guy who helped me was super nice! Place is clean and no parking issue. This will definitely be added to the family's usual donut places!

    We walked in for dinner, and the restaurant was clean, which was what we liked. We were greeted by…read morethe friendly and inviting staff member, Kira, as we walked through the door. We arrived at 7:40 PM, and the manager, Joseph, told us the restaurant would close in 10 minutes. I said that's OK. We'll order the food and eat as much as we can there until we have to leave, and then we will leave by the time we are asked to leave. My boyfriend, Jeff, thought the restaurant was open until 8 PM, so he checked the website. It said the location was open till 8 PM, so he walked outside to check the time on the door, and it read 8 PM. There were no other signs that said they were closing at 7:50 PM. Jeff called somebody to complain about the time discrepancy while we were waiting for our order to arrive. When our order arrived, Kira brought our food to the table in a really cute to-go bag, and I like that she listened to us that we would eat as much food as we could while we were at the restaurant and then take the rest to eat at home when it came closer to 8 PM. Our food was ready pretty quickly; we had plenty of time to finish our food before 8 PM. However, I think Jeff just wanted the manager to be upfront with him and say that the store was closing at 8 PM, so it's better to take your food to go or something like that, not make up an arbitrary time to say what time the restaurant was closed. I'm rating this Koja kitchen location four stars mainly because of the outstanding customer service provided by Kira. She was incredibly friendly and approachable, making the experience very pleasant. I wish more customer service representatives could be as kind and easy to talk to as she is.

    It's been a while since I've been to koja kitchen. Sadly, today's experience was not as good as…read moreprevious ones. The restaurant was virtually empty when we came in for a late lunch. We both ordered the original koja. Although the flavor was good, the meat was extremely tough and grizzly. The man behind the counter who took our order was pleasant. Although I didn't notice it, my friend thought the woman who brought out our order seemed to be in a bad mood.

    I rarely get donuts as I sleep late. After being unimpressed with donut options in the tri-valley,…read moreI tried this out based on recommendations. It did not disappoint. While the inside was sparse, the customer service was very warm. The prices are a bit high at $1.75-$2.50 a donut but I would go back.

    After reading the reviews, I went out of my way to try these donuts because they were rated so…read morehighly. Unfortunately, they were a huge disappointment. I've never thrown away donuts before, but after just two bites of each one, I threw both away. They were simply too dense and heavy for me to enjoy. Honestly, it felt like I had a brick sitting in my stomach. I ordered a chocolate round and a maple bar, but the order was mixed up and I received a chocolate bar instead. The mix-up wasn't a big deal, but it didn't help the overall experience. The biggest issue was the texture. I prefer donuts that are light, airy, soft, and fresh. These were the exact opposite--very dense, thick, and bread-like. The maple topping actually had a nice flavor with a subtle honey-like sweetness, and it was probably the best part of the donut. Unfortunately, the dough itself was so heavy that the topping couldn't make up for it. Taste is subjective, and clearly many people enjoy this style of donut based on the ratings. It just wasn't for me. If you prefer a lighter, fluffier donut, you may want to keep that in mind before visiting. For my taste, this was a 2 out of 5 star experience.
