Apple fritter, vanilla sprinkle, and a maple old fashion
Dylan P.

The store is small, cute and clean. The workers are quick to help which makes the line move quick which is nice because there isn't much room in the store for the line it's self, so it may be backed up if you go at a busy time. But the donuts them selves were amazing. These are my top three donuts. The sprinkle was so soft and warm, by far the best sprinkle don't I have ever had. The maple old fashion could have been a bit sweeter (but I like sweet things) and lastly the apple fritter was done right. It wasn't over cooked or cooked in old oil. It's big, golden brown, soft and fluffy while also being just the right amount of crispy. This is a must try if you even like the word donut

First time trying this donut place while waiting for take out from Relo's. It was noon on Easter Sunday. I think they were opened until noon but they didn't kick me out! I just got one chocolate old fashioned donut to try! I love old fashioned donut since I don't like those OG ones. Usually old fashioned donuts are hard. But this one is quite soft! At first , I was surprised by the texture. I was expecting the usual hard texture. But the more I ate it, the more I loved it. The softness made it taste fresher! I will definitely come back when I crave for an old fashioned donut!

I haven't had a good donut in a minute, then came here! I was so excited to have a fluffy donut that I couldn't even wait to take pictures! This donut shop is so old school in the best of ways. Classic donuts and at still (which is hard in 2024) a decent price! We tried the old fashioned, Glaze donuts, Chocolate Glaze, and the apple fritter. All were hits and we have nothing negative to say! Thank you for keeping donuts how they should be!

I am craving for french crullers donuts today. I bought 1 dozen of donuts (3 chocolate french crullers, 5 glazed french crullers, 3 glazed twists donuts, 1 pink frosting w/sprinkle donut cake). Driving there back and forward from home (30 minutes drive). Worth it for once in a while!

2 dozen please

I drive by this donut shop weekly and decided to finally stop by. It has a nice size seating area. Prices have gone up everywhere but anything to support pink box donut shops. The ladies here are nice and friendly. I paid about $37 for two dozen of donuts for work. The donuts were pretty good and was a hit at work. Fresh and soft doughy heaven.

Been coming here growing up as a kid, especially my high school cheers! I used to always gets a dozen donut holes and their apple turnovers. Coming here brings back sooo many amazing childhood memories and all the nostalgic feels about the good old days! Now, I bring my son here! His favorites are the donut holes as well so we always have to get up early on a Saturday to make sure we get our hands on them! My husband gets his usually 2 glazed donuts and 1 glaze twist. Best donut in town, so even though I'm sure you want to sleep in on a Saturday morning (like I do), pull yourself out of bed and head over to Johnny's donuts before 9 to get their amazing donut holes and glazed twists, as those are gone the quickest!

Chocolate old fashion donut
Juicke C.

After visiting another establishment nearby, I had to try this place's donuts. My weakness is for chocolate old fashion donuts. Usually around 11 am, donut selection can be slim. I this case, they had my old fashion donuts that's all I need to know. LOL. Two, please. Reasonably priced, two donuts for $3.50. I'm good. The donut was fresh, doughy and chocolaty as it should be. A good find. I will definitely stop by again.

Buttermilk old fashioned taken at home.
Allen S.

Johnny's is a small donut shop near the new Ace Hardware and the popular Taqueria Los Pericos. When you are in the mood to do a large home project pick up supplies at Ace. Don't forget to add tacos and donuts for your friends that volunteered some project help or just came for the food party. Johnny's has a variety of donuts to choose from. We picked a buttermilk old fashioned and a lemon filled donut for relaxing with our cup of Joe at home. The buttermilk was tasty and elicits the feeling of wanting more. The lemon filled donut will make a great addition to eggnog after dinner. The staff was friendly giving us a great experience. We recommend you try Johnny's. A word of caution, Johnny's may become addictive

Friendly service and great tasting donuts. Only reason I give them a 4 is because the coffee is a little watered down, not strong at all.

This place has been on my list of coffee shops to check out for so long, and I'm glad I finally…read morewent! It was so good I went twice within the week haha. I first heard about them through their collab with Meadowlark Dairy. The flavor & coffee is incredible. At their coffee shop, I tried their iced sweet latte and one of their seasonal Fall drinks (I forgot the name but it was a salty sweet drink). Both were delicious - strong coffee flavor and lightly sweetened. The worker behind the counter was really nice both times I went, and able to answer questions on modifications if needed. The ambiance is welcoming with tables around to either hangout or study. Parking lot is quite small and shared with other businesses next door, but there is street parking nearby. I'd come back here whenever I'm in the area! I'd like to try their winter seasonal holiday specials whenever that is available :).

So it was Meadowlark who brought me here. I ordered the sweet latte. The coffee's nutty flavor comes through well in this drink. Although it was a "sweet" latte. It actually wasn't too sweet. Overall I was very pleased with the balance and flavor of this drink. This is probably my favorite latte in Livermore so far. I would come back in a heartbeat. Great, chill vibes here. A fair number of tables and seats inside. Tables also outside. Parking is a little tricky. Not too many spaces in their lot. A gem in Livermore.

Still one of my favorite places to get boba…read more Staff was always so friendly and helpful. Even I felt like I asked the same questions about size and boba everytime. :P The mango drink was the best I have tried in the Bay Area thus far. The taro drink was a pretty close 2nd. Ambiance is very nice. Few spots to sit at but always full, lively, crowded and fun. Saw lots of different groups of customers here. Definitely a favorite spot for a lot of people. I will come again.

7-8 workers here but really only one working. The rest just socializing and messing around. You…read morecould tell the one worker was super annoyed. We came here and ordered 4 drinks with no line in front of us. Maybe online orders delayed the entire process but it took forever to get our drinks. The place is small and smelled like cleaning chemicals mixed with tea smells. No real seating and no bathroom to use. The storefront is small and inside even smaller and narrow. The quality of the Matcha is super low quality and very bitter. While most places premix their matcha, the matcha here tasted gross and very bitter. Tasted old. The ones who ordered the matcha drinks didn't even finish half the drink before they tossed it. Such a waste for an expensive drink. Compared to boba guys, this place isn't even in the same universe. Everything seems low quality and the prices are just as or more expensive in comparison. We went here because it was closer to the event we were attending but live and learn, the drive to bishop would have been worth it. And lastly they don't modify any of their drink orders such as less or more ice... or even sweeter less sweet. This is not the norm with how many other shops have options to customize drinks to order. With how poor quality and balanced the drinks were, they may benefit from some adjustments. Long story short = low quality not worth the price. Will not return and will stick with the tried and true staple in the area Boba Guys

For starters , there was no acknowledgment/greeting upon arrival. This immediately made me not want to spend my hard earned money here! The barista didn't offer any help or clarification on the menu after I explained that this is my first time visiting. I was interested in trying some of their unique pastries but due to broken machinery , they were extremely limited on pastries. I brush that inconvenience under the rug, because that is obviously out of their control. So I proceeded with ordering a breakfast sandwich on a croissant, then the barista informs me that they are out of croissants , okay.. no biggie, so I told him I'll have the sandwich with sourdough with an additional up charge to add bacon and ham. 3 minutes after paying , the barista then tells me they are also out of sourdough... so at this point, I told the barista to just use whatever bread they had available. I then received my ice vanilla bean mocha , which was a 4/10 . Nothing spectacular about this drink. Would rather have my boyfriend make me a latte with his AeroPress. Lastly, I receive my breakfast sandwich and realized after leaving Lever Coffee shop that they failed to add my Bacon and Ham on the sandwich, which is a $1.95 up charge!! Mind you I came in for my coffee/breakfast 10 minutes after they opened!! As far as service and food, I wasn't pleased at all. Especially because I decided to try Lever coffee instead of going to my OG coffee shop (3 cross coffee in Castro valley). If management is reading this , please practice food preparation and quality of service a little better amongst your workers !!
