I came here around 2 AM, pretty good donuts and service. Also fast. There were 2 people working. Downsides are cash only, and the old man is hard of hearing. I had to basically yell, which i'm not really comfortable with (raising my voice in general) but I guess it was worth it! However, he is very nice and the prices are fair. The donuts are good too. $20 for 13 glazed donuts and a bottle of milk! read more

Always walked by this place, finally decided to pop in! There were a good amount of people inside the shop mid Saturday afternoon but the line moved quickly. $5.40 for a dozen donut holes and a chocolate donut bar. Delicious old fashioned donuts in downtown. What a livermore staple! Cash only so don't forget to bring cash! Love that it is 24 hours. read more

What really matters to me in a Mom and Pop donut shop is exactly what Donut Wheel in DT Livermore has. This Livermore staple with the picturesque arch building from decades ago still intact. Interior has a cash ATM huge bonus not all donuts places have them . The employee informed me of the 24 hr hours of operation with the ultimate convenience . DW also has a clean interior plenty of free street and small lot and a brand new parking garage a stones throw away. Service and price are unbeatable. And the donuts are great ! I'll definitely be back when I get a chocolate old fashioned donut craving .Location is superb across the street from Angle Petroleum gas station . 5/5 read more

I enjoyed this location. I only had donut holes but we spoke to the man working at the time and he was very nice. This is a cash only location but its open 24 hours. There's a wide array of donuts to choose from. They start at $1.85 for your simple donuts and more for the fancy stuff of course. We spent $2.95 on donut holes on this day. This is downtown Livermore so if you're visiting in the evening or weekends expect to spend time looking for parking. read more

Donut Wheel - Donuts!! - Donuts Near Me - Livermore, California

Tried the blueberry cake, chocolate cake, and raised glazed. Their cake donuts are stellar. Rich and buttery, fresh flavor with a delicate crisp. I also love that they are pretty small so the size is manageable to be able to sample different flavors and not waste food. The glazed was overall good but not superb. Perhaps it was just getting to the point of drying out, but they weren't dry per se. Would definitely want to try more of their cake based donuts soon read more

The food was delicious but the real winner were the freshly fried glazed donut holes that the owner gave us complementary at 11 pm! It seems like your neighborhood donut shop and it fits that bill. read more

CASH ONLY. Small donut shop located in downtown Livermore. Donut Wheel looks to be at an older building resembling a neighborhood go to spot to enjoy your donut with a cup of coffee and read the papers. I noticed a few older folks just sitting by themselves doing such. There is a variety of donuts, but the variety isn't too great. You have your classic donut options with classic donut flavors. If you want something unique and special, this is not the place for you. But if you just want a classic donut to enjoy with your paper on a lazy morning, this may be the place for you. We ended up ordering 5 donuts (bread crumb, maple, blueberry cake, red velvet cake, and chocolate old fashion). The blueberry cake donut stood out and was delicious. I'd get it again. However, the other donuts were either ordinary or felt like they fell a bit flat--like the maple donut felt a day old in fact. Nice people working and very friendly. Service was okay and a number of seats inside. Plenty of outside parking on the street or adjacent streets but I can definitely see it getting crowded. read more

Great tasting doughnuts. Large variety. Only small negative CASH ONLY. Not a negative for me since I always carry cash but everyone doesn't.

The donuts were delicious, but the service was the best part of the stop. Donut holes were fabulous, the fritters were scrumptious and the donuts were so delicious read more

Great donuts available 24/7. Nice staff and easy parking made this donut joint a quick and welcome stop on my way to the airport. I'd definitely visit again when in town. read more

The older gentleman is the kindest person I've come across in a long time. My partner and I stopped because he wanted a donut, he said to me "you got to eat too" and gave me a donut hole and then refused to accept a tip and instead gave us more donut holes. But the taste of the donuts?? SO GOOD!!! I'll be back! read more

Open 24 hours! While waiting on yelp waitlist for dinner nearby, my family and I decided to walk around to kill time. We came across this donut shop and shared an Apple fritter. I like that they also make mini Apple fritters too. The Apple fritter was pretty good. Was hoping to get a blueberry cake donut but I didn't see any. The guy who helped us was friendly! Cash only, but they have an ATM inside. read more

I got the glaze donut and I just wanted to give them a try. You can mess up on a glaze donut and it was pretty good. In my option there is a lot better glaze donuts that I would prefer instead but love the location and old school feel walking in. read more

Donuts are my Dad's guilty pleasure so we stopped by Donut Wheel to pick up some donuts. Donut Wheel is a simple cash only donut shop offering a great variety of delicious donuts! They have a small parking lot but street parking is available. I'm a simple donut type of gal so I opted for a Chocolate Glazed Donut. My Dad got a couple Glazed Donuts and Cherry Cake Donuts. My donut was light, chewy, and the chocolate wasn't overwhelming sweet. Although I prefer yeast donuts over cake donuts, I tried some of the Cherry Cake Donut and it was so dang delicious! I could smell the sweet cherry even before biting into it. The donut itself wasn't too dense. Instead it was soft, had a nice crunch to it, and was bursting with both cherry bits and flavor! I can't wait to try their other speciality donuts next time I come back! read more

My Uncle lives in Livermore, and he found out that I am a fan of donuts. So after having lunch nearby with him and the family, he had us go here for dessert. Donuts for dessert? Yes, PLEASE!!!! Donut Wheel is a Livermore Landmark. Been around since 1958 is what I learned. Place is not fancy so don't expect the donuts to be either. They had all the classic donuts one would expect. None of the gourmet donut stuff. Uncle bought us a baker's dozen. Shared with the family glazed, crumb, sugar, maple, blueberry, and old fashion donuts. All of them tasted alright. Personally, my favorites were the Blueberry cake donut, Cherry cake donut, and the Old Fashion Chocolate donut. Unfortnately, they did not have any Boston Crème donuts the time we were there. If you are a donut fan and are in the area, then I recommend stopping by Donut Wheel. As I said earlier, it is a Livermore landmark!!! read more

My review is primarily about their custard filled donut holes. It reminds of the dunkin donut Bavarian but way better since you get to just pop the whole thing in your mouth and it just bursts with flavor. You do have to get there early if you want them since they sold out pretty quickly. Placw is pretty clean and severs are pretty nice read more

Seriously the best donuts in Livermore. Both donut locations in Livermore have wonderful, kind, hardworking owners, but hands down Donut Wheel has the best fresh tasting, not greasy, and good variety of donuts in town. We did a side by side taste test & Donut Wheel donuts won on all three things we taste tested. read more

A Livermore tradition continues to be a go-to on a regular basis. What a wonderful routine not just for donuts which as always fresh and plentiful, but for the kind people and enjoying a shared community love of this business. They decorate their donuts for holidays, such as the upcoming 4th of July red, white, and blue themes. Located at the west side of Downtown area on First Street. Parking is not far, but First Street is usually full most of the time. This has always been and remains a cash only business. There is an ATM inside before you order so in case you are not packing the bills. read more

When we arrived, we were sadly informed that the baker's equipment was down for the day. There were some donuts available but a very small selection. We ordered the Red Velvet, Blueberry, and Cherry donuts. All of them were fantastic and not too doughy like how other donut shops show up. I heard their donut holes are the best so I hope I get to try them at some point. Cash only. Family owned and operated. Private parking lot. #SupportLocal #SmallBusinesses read more

CASH ONLY. Donut Wheel is a traditional donut shop. I've stopped in a few times walking down First Street. They have a good variety of glazed and filled donuts. Most of the basic ones were cake donuts. I prefer yeast donuts. But their prices are very affordable. The ones I got were $1.25 each! read more

Still my favorite donut shop in town! Prices have gone up (just like with everything else). Donut holes are now $0.25. Employees have gotten friendlier. Parking is still blech. No longer open 24 hours :(. But donuts are still top notch! read more

Easy, cheap, and delicious. I love donuts and this is my favorite place to get them. We got 6 regular donuts and 6 donut holes and I think the total was about $12 so not too bad. But the chocolate is fantastic and the donuts were very fresh. A staple in Livermore and in my heart! read more

Donut Wheel's biggest strength is its hours. You have access to their baked goods 24/7. That alone is pretty impressive. I wish there was a store like this near me back in college. I definitely could have used it! Though, on this side of 25, a 3 a.m. donut has less appeal. The donuts themselves are serviceable, but nothing to write home about. I found the raised chocolate donut to be too cloying to really be enjoyable. I'll probably stop by again solely because of its prime location and hours, though. PS: Be sure to bring cash! read more

Always love their donuts, but it's so disappointing how much smaller each of them are now. I guess the owners have to cut back somewhere with inflation on the rise read more

This is a Livermore classic! I have been coming here for as long as I remember. Definitely the best donuts you can get in the area. This place is CASH ONLY! If you are not from around here it can definitely look sus but I wouldn't judge a book by it's cover. The donuts are soft and fluffy. They don't feel super dense like other places I have tried. The staff is absolutely wonderful and very friendly. read more

This place is highly recommended, town favorite. The family is very nice and helpful. It's a small Mom & Pop shop. The donuts and parties are amazing. read more

Quality donuts at a reasonable price. Conveniently located in the middle of town. Place is cash-only, but they do have an ATM on site.

I don't know what happened to this place The service was really bad. The staff didn't respond too well when my wife and I walked in. The felt more annoyed to see us walking through the door. The place itself looks outdated and run down. We ordered some traditional donuts. They were stale and really dry. Later on when we got home, both my wife and I had to go use the restroom because of an upset stomach from eating their donuts read more

Best blueberry donut! This place has the sweetest old man manning the front. I've been here many times and he's always in a good mood. Love coming here for the donuts and the positive vibes he sets read more

I love this place they have fresh donuts! The staff is very kind and I have been coming here for years!

After a delicious but heavy meal at an Indian restaurant up the street we decided to walk around downtown so the food can digest. Forgetting how full we were Seeing this "open 24 hours" donut shop down the block made is forget how full we were. We strolled in at around 8:30PM and to what they had and walked out with the last cruller, a glazed cruller, a glazed donut, a chocolate glazed donut, a large cinnamon roll-like danish,and the last 3 donut holes. All for $6.40. Yes, the service is as slow as some have mentioned in other reviews but the lady was cordial and fine. The donuts were all pretty good with the exception of that large danish. It was dense and lacked a consistent sugar or glaze coating. Cash only but conveniently there is an ATM inside read more
