    One of my favorite donut shops. Nice classic old school style donut shop. Lots of different flavor donuts, breakfast sandwiches, and drinks to choose from. Donuts are nice and fluffy and frosting not too sweet. Sandwiches are good prices and huge. Inside has a few seating and coffee station. Great owners, always friendly and know their regulars well!

    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.

    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.

    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!

    Wow!!! This is a Legit 5 Star Breakfast Sandwich and Donut Shop in the heart of Fremont…read more I love their breakfast sandwich in a croissant or even on a bagel.We ordered the famous hotlink sausage,everything sandwich and it is all great. The highlight of their breakfast sandwich is that you can customize your egg whether sunny side up or scrambled egg unlike the other typical store that only offers super soft,soggy and or microwaved scrambled egg and that for me is a no no. Here you will enjoy your sandwich with all freshly cooked ingredients. Their bread like croissant,bagels and donuts are made and freshly baked everyday.As you walked inside the store, you will mesmerized with all the freshly baked goodies that you can't resist. Coffee is just a plain brewed coffee and nothing fancy but it is real coffee anyways. The staff/owner is so friendly and accomodating,He is so patient with my questions since it is my first time there. I will definitely come back and try their other deliciois baked goodies for sure. You may pay them thru cash,venmo or zelle as well so that is so convenient for customers.

    Fresh Bagels and Donuts is one of those rare local spots that deserves its loyal following…read more Friendly, welcoming owner The owner is incredibly kind, full of positive energy and somehow remembers almost everyone's name. You can immediately tell people come back here regularly. Great donuts Huge variety without being overly fancy--just really good donuts that hit the spot. My favorite is the maple cinnamon twist, but it sells out FAST. Most popular items do, so get there before 9:00 a.m. for the best selection. Amazing breakfast sandwiches Some of the best bagel sandwiches I've had, especially for the price. Highly recommend the croissant sausage, egg and cheese sandwich. Come prepared Cash and Zelle only. There's a Bank of America ATM across the parking lot if needed. Overall, this place has that true neighborhood breakfast spot feel: great food, fair prices and genuinely wonderful people.

    OBSESSED with these buns!!! So many good flavors. Just a few that I've tried: pandan coconut (my…read morefavorite), guava (husband's favorite), spam and egg (which comes with sriracha mayo), taro, original, bbq pork, and matcha mochi. All were very tasty in their own way. The bun itself is just chef's kiss -- so soft and fluffy with the slight crisp from the sugar dough topping. *drool* *Tip to ensure the best experience: Upon receiving your order, make sure to open the box to let the steam air out. The buns are so fresh and warm that it can make the crumb topping get soggy in the box which doesn't make it taste as fresh. Either enjoy right away or let it air out cuz that crisp topping is what makes these buns really taste special! Also got the "ice-chilled milk tea" which is essentially a Hong Kong-style milk tea which pairs perfectly with these buns! Hong Kong-style milk tea is not too sweet and has a very strong tea flavor so if you're not familiar with it, I would keep that in mind since it is a different flavor from the standard boba milk teas. I love it though! I've tried their tarts as well but to be honest, I was not as much of a fan of these. Tried the croissant egg tart and pandan croissant egg tart. The crust was flaky but a little tough in my opinion and was disappointed that the pandan flavor didn't really come through at all especially because the pandan coconut bun is so flavorful. Usually I am a po-tat stan but I would skip these here and just go for what they do best -- the buns!

    This is a take-out only spot serving all sorts of Pineapple Bun variants. Some are injected with…read morecustard. Some are served with a slab of unflavored or flavored butter in the middle. Some creations are just distant relatives of the Pineapple Bun. The food: Pineapple Bun with Custard - They start with their standard Pineapple Bun which is already amazing and inject it with custard. Probably my favorite thing on the menu. Watch out when you eat this though since it will most likely make a mess. BBQ Pork Tart - I don't know exactly what this was called, but it had the flaky base of a Portuguese egg tart, BBQ pork as the filling, and then the crumbly top of a Pineapple Bun. It was worth trying once, but I can't say I understand it. Pandan Tart - This was decent. Center a little chewy. Lightly flavored. Pineapple Bun with Pandan Coconut Butter - I thought I would like this more, but there are some coconuts I really like and some that I don't. It's an off-note that I'm particularly sensitive to. I'd recommend the regular butter though. Had that before at a different location. Now that I've been to two locations and tried a bunch of different things, I think my combined recommendation would be Pineapple Bun with Custard (original), Pineapple Bun with Guava Butter, and Croissant Egg Tart. They have so much stuff going on here. I love the base assortment of items and it's fun to try some of their experimental things, knowing they're not all going to be hits.
