A fantastic bakery in Novato! I order these Delicious donuts for my events weekly and they never disappoint

Spur of the moment I decided to try this place. It's close to my house, so figured, why not! The donuts were AMAZING. I will definitely be going back. Pros: -Very fresh, soft, donuts. -Not skimpy on the toppings :) -They can cream fill any donut! I've never been to a place that does that. -Lots of donut options, even though I went later in the day. Had every kind I wanted. -Very cheap. -Lots of parking. -Fast. -Clean, even if a little cramped in there. -Quick and efficient service. Cons: -Cash only. -Would be nice to get donuts in a box instead of a bag. Because they are so gooey and fresh, the frosting kind of rubs off in a bag. -Wish they had more coffee options...didn't see any flavor options. My boyfriend tried the donuts and said they were the best donuts he'd ever had! We will be frequenting this place often :) read more

Good, very inexpensive ($0.95/donut) donut shop. The maple old-fashioned donut, crumb-covered raised donut, and oreo-covered raised donut were my favorites. The apple fritter was also good; the regular raised donut was ok. Will definitely be back for more! read more

Love the glazed!! They open early, have warm donuts, and are really kind! A great staff and a great donut! Coffee is good too and they also have tea and hot chocolate. There's ample parking in the huge lot and that makes a big difference. Kudos!! read more

Friendly neighborhood place. Prices are low -- don't tell them :) Glazed buttermilk when it is still warm and a coffee is the best breakfast in the world. read more

My all time favorite donut place. I live the people who run this place! And their donuts are the best! If you're in the area definitely check it out. read more

The tastiest, fluffy, wonderful donuts and my favorite. Saw owner at 6:20am loading hot ones into shop, got my share. Happy dog. I ate them all. No grease. More please. Price is a deal. read more

There's a reason why there is a line in the morning at Great Donuts. These are fresh from the oven, baked right there, morning treats. Of course these days people are stearing away from eating donuts on a regular basis, but if you're going to have a treat do it right! The apple fritters are amazing! The cheese danishes are also really good. The people working there (I think they are the owners) are so sweetly and genuinely friendly you'll want to hug them before you go, I know I did. read more

Great Donuts has the best donuts in Novato by far.... I recommend the Raised Glazed as they melt in your mouth, or they have great raised chocolate donuts too.... Last time I went there they had a raised chocolate with cream filling and it was grubbin! But all of their filled donuts are great... the custard filled aren't too sweet like most places. Nice Owners, great price, and melt in your mouth classic donuts... read more

When I stopped in for a dozen to bring to the staff room at work, the gal behind the counter politely asked what I would like and then arranged a beautiful assortment of the hottest freshest donuts I have ever bought. The smell in my car was irresistible, so I admit, only 11 donut made it to the staff room. Everyone at work said they were the best, freshest tasting donuts they had ever had! The following week I was back for 2 dozen (since all 11 had been gobbled by 10AM, I clearly needed more) and the woman working even offered to dip more cinnamon sugar donuts for me on the spot if I needed more. Best quality donuts and best customer service at a donut shop ever. Cheap coffee that's not half bad tasting either. 1.25 Small, 1.50 Medium, 1.75 Large, for quality coffee, is almost unbeatable in Marin County. Plus, contrary to less recent yelp reviews, they now accept credit cards! I will definitely be back. read more

Great Donuts - hot, fresh and easy on the eyes. - Donuts Near Me - Novato, California

The donuts are DRY and over priced!! $1.50 for a dozen of old dry donut holes! They are gross!!

Terrible. I have no idea why this place has such high reviews. We've tried them twice, but I should have trusted my taste buds on the first visit. Yes, they are inexpensive, but the donuts taste awful. They have a limited variety, and the ones they do have are typically stale. My kids don't even want to eat them. Also, just because I find it annoying, they're cash only. read more

I didn't think the donuts here were anything special. I got a couple glazed donuts here and they were extremely buttery tasting and overly rich. The coffee wasn't very good either. read more

Worst donut we ever had...we had 4 different donut and not one tasted good and so oily that 2 of them that you can see and feel it's soak in grease. My kids won't even eat it and said...please don't come here again. read more

You will find the best donuts here by far! The prices are very low and better than any of the other places around. Service here was great, and they are very nice people. Will definitely recommend this place to others and will be back more often! read more

I am a big fan of Great Donuts! Especially the white cake with white frosting and sprinkles. Great Donuts satisfies my inner Homer Simpson. Save some for me! Paul J. read more

I have been stopping in here off and on for the past ten years. The owners are always friendly (and always there), and know most of the customers, things going on in the community, and even what people like. They have muffins of the Costco variety, a large selection of fresh donuts made on site, and scones. The scones are made in small batches fresh each day. I actually had not had scones before, but they are really a treat when you don't quite want a donut. read more

Omg the worst donut I have ever had!!!!!! I think it was re-fried from the day before. I could have oiled my car with what came off this thing. I put it in the trash. I was there when they first opened ,you would think they would have been FRESH NOT EVEN CLOSE, read more

I have been a fan of this establishment for years. It is a classic family owned business where the owners treat each customer as an individual and someone they value. They have always greeted me, my family, and friends by name and would ask about things we had talked about in the past, such as; graduations and birthdays. As far as the donuts are concerned, they are delicious! When I go in there I can usually see someone baking donuts in the back and the fresh, tasty smell has already filled the room. The donuts are fresh, perfectly sugary, and light enough to melt in your mouth. This is a place where I enjoy giving them my money! read more
