    We got these delivered to our school campus for multiple of our club events! They were very fresh and filling, I loved the different flavors like the various glazed ones and chocolate donuts as well. Shoutout Tony for bringing us these donuts :)

    I love this independent donut shop. There is always plenty donuts on hand! Family owned. Quick service every visit. Plenty of seating also.

    OK donuts, in a sleepy Fremont strip mall. Came with my son after exploring early morning one day and seemed like lots of traffic and cars in this plaza for 7:30 am so we pulled in to check it out. The old fashioned, donut holes, and chocolate with sprinkles my family enjoyed. A step up from Dunkin or Winchells, we enjoyed our donuts with our morning coffee and used the sprinkles as a reward for the kids. They have a very large selection of breakfast bagels and croissants, we did not know they used mayonnaise on these breakfast savory bites by default. I've never seen other places add this and it wasn't in the pictures or listed as part of the sandwiches. I think it would have tasted fine without it but unfortunately it was oversaturated in Mayo and really rich and heavy on a nice sandwich that didn't need it.

    Inside, donuts are always delicious

    I have been a regular here since I went to the middle school across the street. Best mom and pop shop. I hope they stay open forever!

    This place has the best donuts ever! They're not overly sweet and the flavor is great, doesn't matter which donut you get because they're all good! The service is amazing and the owners are very sweet. My favorite donuts are the glazed, jelly filled and apple fritter ones.

    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'm still recovering from the sticker shock. 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!

They're a bit pricey at $6.50+ each, but with many rotating creative flavors, it's hard to not pick just one. The Ube malasada did not taste artificial nor was it too sweet. I like to think they are poi malasadas haha It would be nice if their hours were more consistent since seasonal flavors sell out quickly. I find their service to be quick and their shop can ridiculously busy and packed. There is limited seating, but the place is clean and well-kept. I would come here if I am back in Union City.

That donut was completely gone by the time it was my turn. It makes no sense not to have limits on popular items. Then, while I was waiting in line, a woman that came after me apparently told her friend in the back which donuts she wanted, and they took most of the remaining donuts before people actually waiting in line could order. I drove all the way there and barely got anything because of how unfairly and poorly this place is run. The donuts may be good, but the way they handle orders and lines is terrible. Don't waste your time unless you get there extremely early.

    I've never been a fan of pineapple buns- Pineapple King Bakery totally changed all of that!!…read more This Bakery is kind of small in size and it's strictly meant to house transactional sales. Seating consists of a few tables and is more like a takeout joint. The Hong Kong style pastries are sweet, crunchy, yet so very soft and fluffy- all at the same time. The very first taste left me in awe and that has not changed one bit. These baked goods aren't overly sweet. The textures are well rounded and the flavors are unique compared to the Americanized standpoint. These pineapple buns are buttery deliciousness and depending on your choice of filling, it can check off all the marks of being sweet, savory, and leave you wanting more. Faves: *PINEAPPLE BUN [PLAIN] *BBQ PORK PINEAPPLE BUN *BBQ PORK BUN 5/5 stars. The quality has not declined even after all these years.

    I'm not usually a dessert person, but Pineapple King completely won me over…read more Their take on the classic Chinese pineapple bun is next level. The "original" comes filled with a rich, silky custard that's just the right balance of sweet and creamy--never heavy. And the mango version? It's like biting into a smooth, chilled mango pudding tucked inside that perfectly soft, slightly crisp bun top. Unexpected and seriously addictive. What really surprised me is how these outshine a lot of "gourmet" filled donuts I've tried. Less gimmicky, more refined, and honestly more satisfying. This place was great!
