    Their iced coffee with a perfect sprinkle donut
    Gaby M.

    My favorite donut shop! They have a great iced coffee as well. The cashier is extremely sweet and sometimes will give me donut holes :)

    Happy donuts make a happy giiiirl! And this girl loves her some donuts from this happy little shop! I've been coming to Happy Donuts for the past several years now. The lady who once worked the front counter for all of those years just recently left, but the store still has the same great homey feeling! I used to come here almost every morning when I commuted to multiple locations for work some years ago. Although they are known for their donuts, I would ironically always start my morning off with their ham and cheese croissant and milk or an apple cider! Not the healthiest breakfast in the world, hence why I said "used to". I don't frequent this donut shop nearly as much as I used to, but whenever I do come in, it feels like I never left! The donuts here are really amazing! They always taste fresh and a few times I've had the pleasure of getting donuts that were fresh out of the oven! Mmm! I love their donut twists and donut holes, but my FAVORITE pastry from here is their apple fritter! It's hands down one of the best apple fritters that I have ever had! It's so crispy and sweet... it might just be a heart attack at first bite! I just love that damn apple fritter! But I have to watch my weight, so I can't be eating it all the time! Happy donuts carries a variety of different donuts as well as breakfast sandwiches, soft drinks, and coffee! The inside is small and only offers one table for seating and they only have a few parking spots in front. I actually just park at Walgreen's next door and walk over since it's easier for me to not have to make that u-turn into the parking lot. The pricing is very fair here with a box of a dozen mixed donuts only costing $9. The only downside and why I can't rate them 5 stars is the fact that their cash only. They've been cash only for so many years! I feel that they would get so much more business if they just decided to accept cards. I remember one time I went in and for a donut and a drink and when I went to pay, I had no cash on me! Instead of turning me away, the lady that used to work there just told me to pay her back the next time that I came in. I was so shocked! It made me feel good that she trusted me that much! I mean, I was a dedicated regular, but it really meant a lot to me. I ended up coming back the next day and paying her back. I would recommend Happy Donuts to anyone who loves being "happy"! They prepare their donuts with love and you can definitely taste it through and through!

    Not so happy I cannot pull out of their driveway until I write this review. This was my first visit, and will be my last. Donuts in general happen to be one of my guilty pleasures so I do have certain expectations. To start, a donut shop should have at least the illusion of being clean & sanitary. There should be the slight aroma of donuts cooked in fat as you walk through the door, and the donuts displayed should look aesthetically appealing. As far as flavor, a good donut might be warm, have a lightness to it and should bring about feelings of guilt as it is being devoured. This donut shop failed on all levels, even though I selected one that had just been carried from the back on a rack. This place needs a good scrubbing inside and out, and perhaps the owners might consider reformulating the recipe so that the product tastes as if it were made fresh. One bite is all it took for me to say no bueno! Although I walk away feeling guilty for having spent $2.25, I am hopeful this cup of coffee has some redeeming quality.

    Happy Donuts is open for business. I have my office a few blocks down and stopped by to get my morning joe. I spoke to the owner who said they were closed for 7 weeks due to plumbing problems. Donuts are delicious. They are huge. See for yourself. Coffee is good and I dont have to break the bank for it.

    Happy Donuts is conveniently located off of Monument Blvd/Oakgrove Rd. This is the closest donut shop on this side of Monument so they get pretty busy! Parking is a bit tight but you'll manage to get a spot either directly in front of the shop, the travel agency or barber shop! I love Happy Donuts. Not only are the prices very reasonable but the Donuts are cooked fresh and with lots of love. I have had the pleasure to frequent this place for a few years now. The staff is always very friendly. If you go towards closing time they even throw in some free donuts to get rid of them. This place is cash only which I don't mind. This is a mom and pop so if your wanting a donut I am sure your belly can spare a few bucks in cash. :) I had a great conversation with the kind woman who was working there. I gave her the idea to start selling yogurt parfaits. She already had the granola, I told her all she needed now was plain yogurt and fruit. I shared with her that the parfaits usually go for $5+ and she could get away with selling them for $3 or $4. She was very grateful for the suggestion and even took notes. The coffee is pretty good too and way cheaper then the other overpriced brands. Mmm now I want a chocolate glazed donut!

    Purchased a custard filled donut this morning Payed $1.50 When I started to eat it there was absolutely zero custard There was a hole making it seem like there was filling But it was just that A hole Talk about a let down I come here often and after being charged for something I didn't receive I don't think it will be back

    Sadly they had no donuts. But the chocolate milk was good. I thought maybe I was too early but it was 8:45am. Sad Donuts.

    I drove a little farther because of the reviews, and now I completely understand the 4.7 rating…read more From the moment I walked in, the shop smelled incredible, and every pastry looked fresh and beautifully made. The woman helping customers was genuinely one of the kindest people I've met in a long time. She radiated joy, warmth, and kindness. After an incredibly long and exhausting day, that simple interaction completely changed my mood. The pastries absolutely lived up to the experience. I had the jalapeño cheese pastry, and it was outstanding. Even cold, it was flaky on the outside, soft on the inside, with just the right amount of spice. I caught myself wishing I'd bought another one before I even finished it. My family tried the apple pastry and the sugar donut, and both were equally impressed. The apple pastry was beautifully flaky--you could actually hear the crisp layers with every bite--and the sugar donut disappeared with zero complaints. Great pastries are one thing, but combining exceptional quality with genuinely kind people is what makes a place memorable. I actually considered turning around to buy more before heading home, but I was simply too exhausted after such a long day. That alone tells me everything I need to know. I'll gladly drive the extra distance to come back.

    Wow, King's Donuts!

And to top it off, they're BTS ARMY too - forever we are young! We ordered a half dozen to share with the family, and it only cost $9. The shop is clean, the donuts are beautifully displayed, and every single one is fully loaded with flavor and toppings. Best prices, best staff, and some of the best donuts around!

Super friendly customer service, very welcoming people, and just a really pleasant conversation that early in the morning, which honestly made my day. The freshly baked donut selection is amazing. You got everything from old-fashioned plain, glazed, chocolate, sprinkles, classic twists, and pretty much anything your heart desires. The filled donuts are awsome too, although sounds like those are usually made a little later in the day fresh:( The inside is actually relatively big and comfortable, not cramped like many donut spots. One of the coolest parts is being able to see a lot of the baking process happening right there. You can tell they really care about quality seen that freshly baked one-to-one beauty laying in front of you and their customers, who are always happy! Definetely one of the best donut spots around Lamorinda.

The kids fell in love them as family brought them by for a treat. They love all of them though they are particular to chocolate plain. The chocolate and custard cream filled are also big hits.
