sausage egg and cheese bagel
Myer W.

Very good donuts and breakfast bagels. The owners are also super nice. Donuts are always fresh and perfectly glazed. I just wish they would char their sausage a little.

Hours 4/2021

This place is amazing! The place is small, but mighty. I came around 10am on a weekday, and only one person was before me. Tables are closed, so everyone just comes in and out after getting their orders. The staff were so friendly and sweet. I was greeted and helped immediately. I came here for a quick breakfast bite and some donut snacks for later! Sadly, they were all out of donut holes for the day (must be popular!!). I got an egg and cheese breakfast sandwich, which was really filling. If you're wanting a crunchy sandwich, I wouldn't get these- they're soft, BUT good! I got a half dozen of the donuts with these being the flavors: chocolate, blueberry, glazed, and maple. None of them were disappointing! The donuts were fluffy, soft, and really really good! I'll be back to try the donut holes, andddd more donuts!

Vanilla cappuccino served hot
Poonam M.

Came for first time on recommendation from my next door app heard they needed help in sales during covid, I've lived near this place for 8 years and never tried them before. I've always liked apple fritters in the past so I ordered one of those and then the raisin roll and a vanilla cappuccino. First off I come in door and I get a good morning greeting which hardly anyone does anymore so that was nice.. kudos to owners for keeping atmosphere friendly ! Back to the food now. Apple fritters were crispy on the edges which I like and soft in center and not overpowered with sugar you can taste the apples , but I ate the second donut with my afternoon coffee and it was still soft and fresh tasting , that ended up being my favorite now. I also have to add that my coffee was really nice and hot which is the perfect thing for me I usually ask for super hot at other coffee shops , I didn't have to ask that here.

Donut Holes

As a donut hole lover, I can say this is one of the better ones I have had. The bite size is perfect and not too doughy.

Hey, hey, it's Donut Friday, donut-cha know? It was for me, anyway. And my first time craving the doughy-sweet confection since I've relocated residence to the lovely little town o' Pleasanton. Which makes me a Pleasanton-ian. Or something like that. Heard about this spot from friends and decided to check them out after Yelp re-affirming this spot is a definite go-to and am mighty glad I did. The Gist: Popped into Heritage (which, mind you, does NOT say "Heritage" from the outside of the building", instead, reads "O Donut" - well, unless it was just plain old "Donut" with a pic of an actual donut to its immediate left - anywho - just after 8am & the place was bustling with business. I was happy to glance inside the glass cabinet of goods to see there was still quite a selection of donut varieties remaining. My personal fave being the French Cruller (fun fact - cruller actually means "twist) was abundant which was a pleasant surprise because I have found multiple times I go to donut shops, that they either 1. aren't even made there or 2. ran out of them entirely. They had a good assortment of those in regular glazed, chocolate & maple as well as an array of other typical donut house types to choose from. I observed one of the bakers bring in a fresh batch donut holes which quickly had orders placed for them as soon as he brought them out. On the menu, they also had breakfast sandwiches prepared on either croissant or bagels as well as beverage varieties to pair with your doughy-goodness. Service: Fast & VERY friendly! The energetic and very friendly gentleman behind the counter hustled and bustled his way through everyone's orders & I observed him greeting all the "regulars" by first-name basis, which is always great to see. Matter of fact, virtually everyone he knew by name - yet another tell-tale sign of a nice rapport established between his patrons. Even offered a little playful banter with a customer who must come in daily as he jokingly gave the owner a hard time because he had run out of his favorite donut type. They gave all of us who were patiently waiting in line a quick morning chuckle over it. Great way to start the day! The Goods: My crullers were absolutely melt-in-your-mouth amaaaazing! I savored each perfectly flavored bite which was so delicately created offering not too much sweetness and the delectable soft dough made my mouth scream for more. I unabashedly scarfed down two on my commute to work and surprised the boss lady with a chocolate one as well which she kept raving literally all day each time she saw me "Jeanie - that donut - ohhh myyy Gawwwwd!" That tells ya something. I'll be back - maybe even will treat the whole Management Team to a dozen. That is, IF I don't just wolf those bad boys all down for myself! No judgement, dammit! This Pleasantonian is very pleased! Do yourself a favor & go here if ever in the area! 5 phenomenal shining stars based overall - best donut spot I've gone to I'd say in years!

Friendly Pleasanton donut shop. The donuts are excellent. If you are not in the mood for a donut, try a bagel sandwich. My sandwich was served hot which I really appreciated. Great value.

Ask the Community - Heritage Donut Shop

Hello, is indoor dining open?

Yes, but tables are limited and so is dining-in.

Hi, my son has peanut, tree nuts and sesame seeds allergy. Is this place peanut, tree nut and sesame seed free? are the sprinkles and chocolate glazes nut free?

Hi, Most of the donuts are completely nut free. The frosting is nut free as well since we have lots of customers that are allergic to nuts.

Do you do classroom tours. I have 7 first grade children who would like to experience the process of making donuts? If yes I will contact you.

Hi, sorry we do not do classroom tours since we make the donuts at 1 in the morning.

Do you have vegan options? This is what Siri pulled up when I asked her to find a vegan donut shop.

Sorry, we do not have any vegan options at this shop.

We walked in for dinner, and the restaurant was clean, which was what we liked. We were greeted by…read morethe friendly and inviting staff member, Kira, as we walked through the door. We arrived at 7:40 PM, and the manager, Joseph, told us the restaurant would close in 10 minutes. I said that's OK. We'll order the food and eat as much as we can there until we have to leave, and then we will leave by the time we are asked to leave. My boyfriend, Jeff, thought the restaurant was open until 8 PM, so he checked the website. It said the location was open till 8 PM, so he walked outside to check the time on the door, and it read 8 PM. There were no other signs that said they were closing at 7:50 PM. Jeff called somebody to complain about the time discrepancy while we were waiting for our order to arrive. When our order arrived, Kira brought our food to the table in a really cute to-go bag, and I like that she listened to us that we would eat as much food as we could while we were at the restaurant and then take the rest to eat at home when it came closer to 8 PM. Our food was ready pretty quickly; we had plenty of time to finish our food before 8 PM. However, I think Jeff just wanted the manager to be upfront with him and say that the store was closing at 8 PM, so it's better to take your food to go or something like that, not make up an arbitrary time to say what time the restaurant was closed. I'm rating this Koja kitchen location four stars mainly because of the outstanding customer service provided by Kira. She was incredibly friendly and approachable, making the experience very pleasant. I wish more customer service representatives could be as kind and easy to talk to as she is.

It's been a while since I've been to koja kitchen. Sadly, today's experience was not as good as…read moreprevious ones. The restaurant was virtually empty when we came in for a late lunch. We both ordered the original koja. Although the flavor was good, the meat was extremely tough and grizzly. The man behind the counter who took our order was pleasant. Although I didn't notice it, my friend thought the woman who brought out our order seemed to be in a bad mood.

Great little gem in Livermore! Great selection of donuts and drinks! Support our local businesses…read moreand say hi to Chan!

After reading the reviews, I went out of my way to try these donuts because they were rated so…read morehighly. Unfortunately, they were a huge disappointment. I've never thrown away donuts before, but after just two bites of each one, I threw both away. They were simply too dense and heavy for me to enjoy. Honestly, it felt like I had a brick sitting in my stomach. I ordered a chocolate round and a maple bar, but the order was mixed up and I received a chocolate bar instead. The mix-up wasn't a big deal, but it didn't help the overall experience. The biggest issue was the texture. I prefer donuts that are light, airy, soft, and fresh. These were the exact opposite--very dense, thick, and bread-like. The maple topping actually had a nice flavor with a subtle honey-like sweetness, and it was probably the best part of the donut. Unfortunately, the dough itself was so heavy that the topping couldn't make up for it. Taste is subjective, and clearly many people enjoy this style of donut based on the ratings. It just wasn't for me. If you prefer a lighter, fluffier donut, you may want to keep that in mind before visiting. For my taste, this was a 2 out of 5 star experience.
