Happy Donuts is quite literally my happy place! I live in Sacramento and it is a MUST that I stop at Happy Donuts when I'm in the area Have you seen the movie Ratatouille? Remember the scene when Ego the food critic took his first bite of the ratatouille and he was transported back in time to when his mother first made it for him, and it was so comforting? Quite literally food for the soul.! That's what these donuts do for me! Cliché? Maybe. But this is very real for me.and maybe someone else can relate. I can recall waking up early mornings with my grandfather and going to the donut shop pulling apart my fluffy cloud, donut enjoying great conversation with him while he sipped his coffee. No crazy select your own fillings or cereal toppings, just a classic well made donut! Happy Donuts has very well executed donuts. The glaze complements the donut, but lets the yeasty chew remain the star of the show! When you make a good doughnut, you don't have to pile on toppings to disguise the fact that your dough is mediocre. I'm quite literally obsessed with these donuts. They're very well could be better donuts in the area, but I'm already hooked on Happy Donuts! The ladies behind the counter have always been so kind and I never leave without a great laugh to accompany my sweet treats! Oh! And if you stay up partying too late and dragging in the morning, just order their Vietnamese coffee! It is fire and gives you the surge of energy you need read more

This is a locally owned and run donut shop in a strip mall at the corner of Trousdale and El Camino Real in Burlingame. The interior looks like a donut shop but their offerings are quite solid. I have tried their Turkey, egg, and cheese on a bagel and I devoured it within minutes. I've alos had a sampling over their donuts over the years and they have been fresh, not oily, and nicely chewy and moist. The family that runs this shop are friendly and courteous. The era of family run businesses are struggling. It's good to see the community support such a staple in Burlingame. read more

Happy Donuts is not too far from where I work, so over the years I have stopped in for a donut or more likely, a bagel breakfast sandwich. They're a family run shop and the owners are quite sweet and friendly, always with a smile. It's wonderful of the local community to support small businesses like Happy Donuts, and I have been and will continue doing my part to do so. Parking is plentiful as they're located in a strip mall with many other small businesses as well. read more

Because one bite explains everything they're so good they genuinely live up to the name of happy donuts. I've got a bag of cronuts right now, and honestly, nothing beats a cronut, baby. Perfectly bite-sized, kind of like an almond butter croissant, but less toasty, more airy, and just pure greatness. read more

The food - numerous succulent creations is what keeps me coming back for more. Mmm Nice job Happy Doughnuts for always keeping your customers Happy. read more

Best Cronut holes ever. My coworkers keep asking me where I buy them. And the ladies who work their are busy but always sweet

Whenever we're in the area, we always stop at Happy Donuts for a dozen of these cronut holes. There are so many options with different flavors of donuts but the cronut holes are my favorite. They're almost double the price for the regular donut holes but they are well worth it. Each piece is the perfect combination of flaky pastry and the light sugar glaze on the outside. They are soft and buttery and sooo delicious. I can eat a dozen of these on my own and not be aware that I finished them all read more

It should be no secret by now that I LOVE donuts. Whether it be the trendy kind, the chain kind, the mochi kind, or the classic kind...so long as it's not the supermarket kind (they're always so stale!), I'm probably going to be a fan. So, when the gf mentioned coming to this particular Happy Donuts to check out the cronuts, hearing that was more than enough to get me onboard! Inside, this place looks just like the mom-and-pop, neighborhood donut shops I love to frequent - semi-dated decor, friendly workers behind the counter, pots of coffee sitting on warmers, and cases filled with donuts. Clearly, the most notable ones are their aforementioned cronuts (or "doissants", as they're called on the menu) which come in a handful of flavors, but they also have an equally enticing selection of old fashioned, cake, raised, twists, cruellers, buttermilk, fritters, jelly filled, and more. In addition, they also have a collection of breakfast sandwiches that I ended up coming back for, as well as a Vietnamese coffee that I couldn't resist trying! -- VIETNAMESE ICED COFFEE...$5.95 Not as good as what you can get from a Vietnamese restaurant or coffee shop, but it more than satisfied my craving. Although it wasn't super strong, this still had a nice hit of caffeine and wasn't insanely sweet (though, it's still sweet). -- CHOCOLATE COVERED CRONUT...$3.25 I worried this was going to be rather gimmicky, but it was surprisingly solid. I loved how you can easily see all of the flakey layers of the croissant and the texture was really nice - browned and crispy on the outside yet soft and moist on the inside. -- CRONUT HOLES Not too shabby, but I'm not sure I'd get this again. On the plus side, these are lighter than classic donut holes and are perfect if you want just a bite. The latter of which might be for the best, as these were so sweet from the icing. -- CHOCOLATE OLD FASHIONED Pretty standard, for better or worse. Meh...this was fine. I liked the taste of the chocolate icing and that it wasn't super sugary. However, the donut itself was just okay - a little dry on the outside, though still moist on the inside. -- BREAKFAST SANDWICH #1 with Egg, Bacon, Ham, Cheese, and Jalapeno on a Croissant Ehh...not bad, but nothing special either. The croissant wasn't too buttery/oily and the egg was fine, but the bacon was really dry and the jalapenos were that pickled type you get on nachos at sporting events. Beyond the food, the thing I like most about this particular Happy Donut are the nice ladies who work behind the counter. Each time I've been here, they've always been super sweet and friendly. Of course, it didn't hurt that we ended up getting a couple of extra cronuts! Since this place is so far from where I am in the city, I can't say I'll be back all that often, especially since my go-to donut (Chocolate Old Fashioned) was just okay. However, if/when I'm in the area and the craving strikes for a cronut and/or a Vietnamese coffee, I wouldn't hesitate to come back for a treat! THREE AND A HALF STARS rounded up. read more

Solid donut place, their donuts are always so good and fluffy. Definitely try out the cronuts, so crispy and layers of goodness. I love their Thai tea, but usually they sold out by 8:30 am. It's the right level of sweetness and creaminess. Service is fast and efficient. I come here almost 1-2 times a week. Definitely try it out! read more

The absolute best service, they are extremely sweet (the staff and the donuts). You will constantly see regulars come in to order sandwiches or donuts which shows how good they are that people are constantly coming back.

Was looking around for a late afternoon treat and happened across Happy Donuts. At 4pm, the selection of cronuts and donuts was slim but still offered a reasonable selection of treats, including cronut holes, an interesting, mini-sized version of the classic cronut. The cronuts were flaky and well glazed with just the right amount of texture, and well worth a try. However, the highlight of the visit was by far the Vietnamese coffee, which offered a strong flavor profile with a healthy dose of ice that made the drink as authentic as possible. I'll definitely be coming back for that Vietnamese coffee! Overall, a very enjoyable visit! P.S. make sure you bring cash; $10 for a credit card minimum! read more

Decided to come here over the weekend to get a simple and delicious sweet treat! We came around 3pm and pretty much everything was gone. One of the my friends brought the cronut holes one day and I couldn't stop thinking about them ever since. Literally the best invention ever! The cronut holes are nice and fluffy, not too sweet too which I highly enjoyed. I do want to come back and try the cronuts in the morning to compare difference in the flakiness and freshness of the croissant. The lady that helped us also gave us custard filled donut holes which were an absolute game changer! I personally don't like custard filled donuts.. but donut holes?! Sign me up! A dozen cronut holes + 2 glaze cronuts came out to $15. The lady even threw in an extra donut for us :) will definitely be visiting again soon, come here for your cronut cravings! read more

This is our go to spot anytime we want to bring CRONUT holes to any function. The best thing to do is order AHEAD OF TIME. Either the day before or the morning of. Never any leftovers when these treats are brought to a function. We have been ordering here for years so if you haven't tried their cronut holes, you don't know what you are missing. Can't find photos but will update once located. read more

Everytime we come around this side of the bay we always make a stop here!! Small donut shop with plenty of parking. This time we came later in the afternoon which was great no line. Lady was friendly and pleasant. We always get their cronut holes by the dozens because we usually eat half the box by the time we get home. They are so good,light,fluffy and delicious.Can't leave without their Vietnamese iced coffee so good but be warned they are strong. read more

I am confident and it's safe to say this place is hands down solid. Ever since my first review, we have ordered a bunch of donuts, cronuts, and breakfast sandwiches. I've even ordered large orders for my sons' birthdays parties. Their cronuts are sooo good and the filled cronut holes are even better! Custard or jelly filling, both are hitters! The breakfast sandwiches are one of the best. It's simple and they make it right in front of you (hint: go for the croissant breakfast sandwiches). The place is tiny but the nice ladies working there get you in and out. This place is a staple for us whenever we are wanting a treat. read more

DONUTS 5 STARS I've been coming to this donut spot along with a lot of my coworkers for awhile now & it's my family's go to spot! Love love love their crumb donuts, Vietnamese coffee, cronut holes, and custard filled long bars. THE 1 STAR IS STRICTLY FOR ONE OF THEIR EMPLOYEES, ONE OF THE SISTERS: One of the sisters is super sweet & nice, I love when she is working! The other one on the other hand... she is NASTY & responds very rude to customers. I've encountered it several times now trying to let it slide but it's out of hand & hence this long awaited review.... CUSTOMER SERVICE DEFINITELY CAN RUIN A BUSINESS. I'd suggest the business owners have a talk to her about her personality and mood. One time she talked about my elderly father & made him feel bad - he didn't want to come back and said she's mean. Another time I asked her a simple question about a donut and felt like I was being scolded by my mom about frickin donuts! Talk about kill joy... who gets riled up about donuts?! She just is miserable and her negative energy & facial expression exudes - "I hate being here" Contemplating after today's instance of her taking the knife to open the donut box and rudely show me about my donut selection instead of just validating my order, that this is the last time dealing with her nasty attitude. It'll be disappointing if this is my last time supporting this business despite how good their donuts are, but customers shouldn't start their mornings or afternoons with a RUDE & MISERABLE EMPLOYEE, PERIOD. Sending her warmth because she definitely could use some read more

I was craving some sweets after the gym so came here around 12:30pm. I walked in and I was greeted at the door by the nice lady at the counter. Usual around this time of day the selections at most donut shops are limited because they sell out mostly in the morning but these guy's still had a good selection. I saw here on yelp that people suggested their cronuts so I wanted to give it a try. I got one cream cronut. (It was a cronut cut in half and sandwiched with some like whipped cream.) A yeast chocolate topped and cream filled donut, Glazed Yeast Strawberry berry jelly filled one, and a regular chocolate yeast donut. I also got a bottle of milk. The cronut itself was really delicious in my opinion. It had a sugar glazed on top and I loved how buttery and flaky it was. The cream in the middle gave it a nice touch and although it had the sugar glaze I didn't think it was overly sweet. I really enjoyed it and tbh I thought to myself that it was a good thing I only go one because if I got a dozen I woulda ate it all in one sitting. The other donuts I enjoyed to as well because when it comes to yeast donuts(which are my favorites) I think if it's dough is airy, fluffy not hella dense and chewy like some of the other donut spot, then it's a really good donut and these were all of that and to top it off the filled ones were filled really good. These guy's didn't skimp on the filling. I was able to take a picture of the jelly filled ones. So over all I will be coming back again and this is definitely one of the better donut shops in the area for sure. I hope when y'all try them you enjoy them just as much as I did read more

I'm not sure how I haven't reviewed this establishment before, but Happy Donuts is definitely my go-to dessert for any event--it's always a crowd-pleaser. When we visit, we typically order the full-sized glazed cronuts or the bite-sized glazed cronut holes, which are dangerously addictive. You can easily eat ten without even realizing it because they're just that good. Their regular glazed donuts are solid too. My tip is to pop them into the oven before serving--they'll taste as fresh as new. This place is a small, grab-and-go hole-in-the-wall, and the service is always efficient. There's usually a short queue because, let's face it, we all want our cronuts! read more

I was picking up my wife from SFO and arrived around the neighborhood way early. Not even Panera was open at 5. I was so glad that a donut shop like this opened at 5am so I could get some food. Store looked pretty clean and I was excited that I could get a hot savory item like #3: sausage, egg and cheese croissant. There wasn't really room in the shop to eat so I started munching it in my car. It sure hit the spot at 5:30AM. I saved half of the croissant for my wife and got her several donuts. The donuts tasted pretty good too. I'll be sure to visit if I have to get to SFO early again. I gotta try one of those bigger donuts next time. read more

Quaint neighborhood gem across Mills-Peninsula and next door to the (other) Little Lucca with abundant parking. A family favorite for years bc of their friendly service, fair prices, and convenient business hours: 5am to 7pm. My Top 5 reasons why Happy Donuts makes us happy: 1 The Vietnamese Iced Coffee is all gas, no brakes. If you get memes from me at 4am, this Cà Phê Sữa Đá is why. Here I am 17 hours later, writing this review at 1am. 2 Cronuts and CRONUT HOLES! The cinnamon sugar ones are like flaky lil churros. You can also get your cronuts FILLED with whip or custard. 3 Call me Old Fashioned but these are still my FLAVORITE. 4 Our youngest loves the heart-shaped Strawberry Glazed. Hubbz loves fritters. 5 Don't sleep on the savory side of their menu. Made to order Brekkie Sandwich on a soft bagel or buttery grilled croissant. 12 menu options or customize your own sammie. # 5: Bacon, Egg, Cheese, & Pickled Jalapeños on a Croissant is my winner. read more

First time here. The lady working behind of the counter was in a hurry. We didn't know what to get and we had to see what kind of choices they have. She stood there impatiently and we mentioned to her that it's our first time and we needed a little time to decide. - Raised glazed donut $2.25 each. Donut was good but the cronut was better. - Chocolate Cronut - $3.25 each. First time eating a cronut and it was very good. It's like a donut and a croissant. Forgot to take a photo of the cronut because I was in a hurry to eat it. read more

Fiancée was craving doughnut holes and looked up Happy Donuts in Burlingame. She got her doughnut holes and I decided to try out the cronut they advertise. Total came out to about $6.20, so I think $2.25 for half a dozen doughnut holes and $3.95 for the whipped cream filled cronut? Credit card minimum $10.00 or $0.50 fee if under $10.00. Luckily everything tasted fresh. The maple frosted, whipped cream filled, cronut was interesting. Literally tasted like a croissant with toppings, crazy right? Overall, solid place and fair pricing if you want a little treat. Would come back! read more

If you're a fan of cronuts, this is the place for you. Not many places sell these and I hadn't had one in years. I ordered a chocolate cronut and it was rich and chocolatey, with the buttery flaky layers of a traditional croissant. Delicious. They also have your standard offering of traditional donuts to choose from. I had wanted to get a few donut holes for my kids but unfortunately, they didn't have any regular donut holes, which I was surprised at. I opted to get the jelly filled ones but they are much pricier and very, very sweet where my kids didn't really even want them. read more

Truly a happy place. As soon as I walked in, I was greeted by a woman who talked to me (and every customer who entered behind me) as if I were her favorite niece and she was happy to see me this morning. I came in for 2 cronuts and 2 coffees and stuck to that plan despite there being soooo many other great options that spoke to my senses. There are 4 Cronut flavors: maple, glazed, cinnamon sugar, and chocolate. I ordered a glazed and regular coffee for hubby and a chocolate and Vietnamese iced coffee for me. And two cinnamon sugar Cronut holes for us to try The cronuts are extremely tall so I had to bite it in layers--two bites to get a full "bite" in. We both liked the Cronut holes best. The Vietnamese coffee is good and packs a punch. It's like a Cuban coffee extended with milk and placed on ice. I might prefer the Cronut better when fresh out of the oven (or grease or however they cook it). I was surprised that there was no sweetness inside. I guess I was expecting it to be like a sweet croissant. Anyhoo, this place got so many customers in the 20 mins or so we sat in the parking lot. It's clearly popular and the breakfast sandwiches look good! read more
