I had a craving for donuts, showed up here. Classic atmosphere, no music, but friendly staff. They also sell boba here. I got 4 donuts: the classic glaze was good, the maple was awesome, the strawberry was delicious and the chocolate one amazing! Cool spot don't sleep on it 5/5 read more

I only tried their glazed donut, and BOY was I in for a surprise. This is THE definition of a donut. The glaze is what you expect it to be, sugary but flavorful. It wasn't straight sugar. The donut itself was fluffy and chewy, with a slight sour taste that SHOULD be there. Also, their display case doesn't truly showcase the size of these donuts. Outside of them, boy, they were as big as the Hulk's palms. The service was friendly and the store was neat and quiet. This donut shop has got to be a must-visit spot. Truly, everything you expect when you take a nice, big bite into a glazed donut. read more

It's all fantastic, the breakfast sandwich is huge! The donuts are super fresh and all great. I stop by as much as I can.

Donuts are always fresh and the breakfast sandwiches are legit, especially the croissants. It's a family-run business and they're always friendly and the service and the vibe is good. I feel like it's a part of the community, unlike the corporate chains that have taken over quick-service restaurants in recent decades. I like that parking is easy and I can pop in for freshly ground coffee without having to walk a block or two. They do sometimes sell out of my favorite donuts towards the end of the day, but I can understand that, given that they make their donuts fresh every morning and it would be senseless to make up a huge batch at noon and have to throw most of them away when the doors close at 2:00. read more

because they donuts are really cheap and their drinks is really good. They have good service. Good prices.

I can't believe I've never been here! I mean, I'm not really a morning person and they close at 2pm, so maybe that's why LOL. I stopped by this morning while on my break and grabbed a few items to bring back to the house: 2 dozen donut holes, 1 glazed donut, 1 sugar donut, 1 chocolate donut, and an apple fritter. Idk why I was expecting it to cost so much, probably because I'm used to paying overpriced Krispy Kreme donuts haha. Everything came out to $12 and some change. What a great deal! I ate a whole dozen donut holes and tried a piece of apple fritter lol. The donuts are amazing and the apple fritter is huge! The service was super quick and friendly. Lots of parking space, as they have their own lot. However, when I was leaving, a lot of cars were filling up. Good thing I got there before lol. There is also a debit charge if your total is less than $15, about 50cents. I wish they were open later so I can come by after 2pm lol. But I will for sure stop by again when I'm up early for work! read more

Our go to Donut shop ever since I was a little kid it can get busy and the parking lot full so sometimes we'd park across the street at the old 711 but ur usually in and out so no big deal read more

It's been a while since I stopped inside here, but ya girl was craving some donut holes, so where's a better place to get some other than the Donut King himself?! This place is ALWAYS packed! Parking fills up fast, but as fast as they come, as quick as they go. It's never an issue! There's also street parking too. Their donuts are always fresh, and so is the coffee. Nothing like washing a donut hole down with a fresh cup of joe. They also make other things like boba and breakfast items. I've had their croissants and bagels. Just simply delicious and great quality! The owners are super friendly and they get your order right away. Best place in San Pablo/Richmond area for your donut needs! read more

Really Nice employees, every time I go im greeted by friendly people and they're always laughing and happy to be there its a very positive environment which is a good way to start off the day!

Although I love it here and their donuts are awesome, i'm not so satisfied with the care. See one of the workers forgot to add my sandwiches i had so i paid for the donuts only the receipt to the left. So she added the sandwiches and i saw they added another fee the receipt on the right and i was like hey what's this other fee for that i just paid, they said it was everytime i paid with card and i said I understand but it was not my fault they forgot to add the sandwiches to the total, so just because im using a card im forced to pay AGAIN another fee for their mistake. read more

Great place for donuts in the morning. They make some really good ones. Fairly priced. It's good! One of the best donut places around. The locals know, it can get crowded. No weird donuts here, just the traditional ones. But that's ok because they do them to perfection. The taste is amazing. The donut chef has a balanced hand and the results are amazing. Worth a drive to try it out. It's what you want. Sometimes you gotta give in to the cravings. Go for it. You only live once. Get a drink too, get a random one, something you don't usually get, why not? Awesome staff. Best donuts in the area hands down. read more

I'm telling everyone right now, this donut shop will become known worldwide one day. Their donuts are quality af, gourmet pastry level taste. Perfect balance of salty and sweet. NO AIR bubbles in their donuts too, how genuine of them. When I become famous I'm gonna shout this place out bc it deserves the world. read more

The donuts and breakfast sandwich croissants were delicious. My family and I will definitely stop by again.

Donuts are fresh and good. They seem to usually sell out and have multiple customers from opening to closing. Especially in the morning and even on weekends. Service is pretty good, wouldn't expect too much, it's a donut shop. The staff (seems to be family ran) provides good service. Do try! read more

Ordered a bacon, egg & cheese crossaint at around lunch time and it got pretty busy. The crossaint was good, but nothing out of this world to be honest. There wasn't enough bacon and the egg was pretty basic and didn't have too much flavor. The sugar donut was fluffy and fresh, so donuts are a go! Service was spot on though, nice and sweet mom and pop shop! Will come back to taste more donuts!! read more

I've passed this place and seen the signage so many times but only came in to get donuts a few days ago. Oh dear, I certainly had been missing out!!!!! Yes, this place deserves all the stars and high ratings and the entire neighborhood seems to agree as people kept coming and going (while keeping themselves socially distant) when I was there. I got 6 donuts for 7.25! (I had 1 with the custard filling). The donuts were fluffy and delicious! We had leftover and ate it the next day and they weren't stale, still fluffy! I'm glad I decided to check out this spot, I went to another donuts shop a couple times before and Domut King is the King!! I'll be back for more dooooooooonnnnuuuuuttttttssss soon, before I go nnnnuuutttttssss! read more

Donut King - vietnamese iced coffee - Donuts Near Me - San Pablo, California

Great place for donuts a sandwiches. It's family owned and they've been here for years

Pathetic, almost no donuts left at noon on a weekend. And why close at 1pm? Clearly don't care about customer.

Good donuts, good service, good selection. I'd definitely recommend for a quick stop.

The sandwich was amazing. However the sign says they will stop serving sandwiches from Nov 30 to Feb 1st. I ordered a number 6 which is Turkey and cheese croissant sandwich. I added egg and jalapeños. The sandwich was actually pretty big and heavy. It probably weighed two pounds. The egg was warm. The bread was soft. There's a line so it probably took a good 20 minutes to get the sandwich in the morning breakfast rush. The total came to $9.79 read more

Donut King - Honeydew & strawberry milk tea - Donuts Near Me - San Pablo, California

They are basically one of the best donut shops in the area, and my review has nothing to do with their quality. I've been a long time customer of them, and they make very good donuts and breakfast sandwiches. But, one time I brought a homeless person donut and coffee, and ended up being yelled at by the owner in front of a lot of customers for getting the homeless food because he thought they were lazy and i was so wrong buying them anything read more

A friend and I quickly walked over here since it's the closest to the school and I gotta say The doughnuts weren't bad and they can totally satisfy ones craving! I mainly got the normal plain glazed ones and was happy with them. My friend however, didn't really like the crumbs doughnut since it was just "too" quickly falling off the doughnut before you could bite into it. I returned to the place to try out their milk tea bobas and personally all my friends and including myself were a little disappointed in it. I'll just stick to the doughnuts. read more

My dad used to take me here all the time, still the best place for breakfast sandwiches and donuts. I'll always come back!

I haven't had donuts in so long! Glad I found this nearby where I can get tasty donuts. Their donuts are like any other donuts but it is crispy. My all time favorite is donut holes, it can be devoured within one bite. Always leave my mouth watery afterward. read more

How would you like to see some wonders of modern culinary science? There are the freaks of the entire culinary world here! A perfectly cooked bagel except for hugely burnt ends! An undercooked croissant with a doughy thin middle! Come and see these impossibilities! Actually, if somebody was pissed off at the world, these could happen. Update: Hey Donut King, what are you the king of, making your customers into metaphoric donuts? Do you actually remember anything of what happened? I know that you said that "you do not care" out loud. Apparently that means that you do not care about the the truth or your customers' health. If that was actually 3-5 minutes (felt like over 10), then you served how many - 8 orders IN THAT TIME???? What are you, taking psychic orders?!?!?! Then, when someone who does not make a psychic order comes, you give him the completely crappy, hated-on, fubared, messed-up food?!?!? Change your name to "psychics only!" Oh, and bagels ARE NOT BLACK!! I realize that you may have thought it was supposed to be a rye chocolate bagel. However, plain bagels are WHITE & slightly browned from the cooking. Those appeared very nicely cooked AND then looked like they were intentionally burnt. You WOULD KNOW that if you cared to take a look at it. AND YET you refused to do that - apparently you got a psychic message that told you not to, so that you wouldn't realize that I was telling the truth so that you wouldn't be able to feign ignorance and choose partial-truth deceptions to post that absurd comment!!!! And NO, you did not refund my entire bill. You refunded for the sandwich ONLY!!! You love your video, so why didn't you check the whole thing, huh!?!??!? Jerk!!!! read more

Awesome donuts and croissants. Fast service too! Ham, egg and cheese croissant was delicious. Carmel latte super tasty. Better than Starbucks. Hot chocolate was made at room temperature for my 2nd grade. read more

I love coming to Donut King! Staff is always friendly and the service is always quick. My friends and I used to come here all the time in high school to grab donut holes and sandwiches or hot chocolates so it brings back great memories when I drop in all these years later. They have a great variety of donuts, bears claws, sweet treats, bagels and croissant sandwiches and drinks! Today I was able to take a friend to this place for her first visit. She ordered the number 5 (Ham & Cheese Croissant Sandwich with lettuce, tomato's, jalapeños and no onions $4.75+tax). (Jalapeños $0.25 extra ). She loved her sandwich and how large the portions were as well as how hot her sandwich was when she received it. I ordered a dozen donut holes for $2). The size of the donut holes are nice as well. Donut King never disappoints glad there are still local places like this thriving in the neighborhood. read more

Amazing quality donut holes! $2 for 1 dozen. This place brings a lot of childhood memories. My mom sometimes would promise to bring us here if we got up early enough before school. My brother and I loved their donut holes and still do! Sometimes they run out because they're so popular, but I went today and they were fully stocked (Thursday 8:50am) so maybe you'll get lucky like me. The best part is... it's super cheap and good! I want to try their food and drinks in the future but their donut holes will always have a special place in my heart. Not to mention they have really great customer service! read more
