My fave donut place in the area because they have powdered blueberry JELLY (not cake) filled donuts & the owner was so nice to hold some for me when I called & told her I was on my way. (They must not make a lot or sell out because they always have "only 3 left" when I call LOL)! Great donut holes, too! They are only allowing 1 customer inside at a time & now take Apple Pay Paid $10.60 for 2 blueberry jelly, 2 (huge!) apple fritters + dozen donut holes (sorry no pic - we already inhaled ) read more

Super delicious donuts! We've been coming here for a while after a recommendation from a family friend and this place is amazing. Everything is always fresh and so tasty. I love that they fill donuts on the spot with the real custard type cream. So good! They also make a perfect French crueller, which is so hard to find. And their apple fritters have that perfect crust around the edge but with a fresh, doughy inside. Everything we've had has been so yummy! Today was our daughter's birthday and instead of boring old cupcakes for preschool, we decided to get a couple dozen pink sprinkled donuts and they were a huge hit! The lovely owner was able to accommodate the order over the phone and our daughter was ecstatic! We definitely recommend Johnny's Donuts! read more

I used Yelp to find a doughnut shop that was open early and close to our hotel. This place opens early at 5 am. My mom and I went at 6 am. As we entered, there were a few people inside having coffee and doughnuts. We got a dozen doughnuts, 2 small coffees, a bottle water, and an apple juice for my daughter. These doughnuts are delicious and freshly made. We were greeted by the nice lady up front. Total came out to $22 for all that we got. We got mostly glazed, twists, chocolate and sprinkles. So good and delicious. Inside was cozy and there were tables all around. You can dine inside or take your doughnuts to go. I definitely would come back if we were near the area. Such a cute shop with all the locals and people from out of town visiting. read more

I came here around 8 am and they had a pretty large selection of donuts still. I was craving a huge bear claw, and the bear claws here were definitely huge. They are twice the size of average bear claws. The bear claw was about the size of both of my hands combined, they had a blueberry filled one that sounded really yummy. Only $1.50 for a HUGE donut. The donut was fresh, and the blueberry jam inside it rounded out the pastry pretty well. It was pretty sweet, especially since the entire donut was glazed. I can't wait to come here again and try all their other pastries. read more

Phenomenal donuts!!! Mr & I stopped by since we were in the area & chose the following: Choc iced bar - had them fill it w/ custard & they put at least 5 pumps in there - it was SO heavy & ladden w/ custardy goodness. I have now been ruined for all other eclairs!! Mr chose the Raspberry Jelly Filled & he was loving the powdered sugar coating on the super-saturated jam filled donut. Again, these people know how to fill a donut!! Offering sprinkles, crumbles, plain cake, raised-glazed, & frosted varieties, from regular to filled donuts & bars, to cinnamon rolls & fritters, you'll definitely find a good dozen or so to love here at Johnny's read more

I did the Yelp thing and searched doughnuts. With that search it pointed me in the right direction and landed here. I got a mix of treats.... My favorite was the custard filled (they fill it for you on the spot), maple them the other one (sorry I forget). They have a wide variety of choices and they all looked damn good. You may ask why not 5 stars.....I gave 5 stars for a place called Voodoo in Denver. These are the best I've had in CA but not the best I've ever had. read more

I've been coming here since I was a kid and I've gotta say this is still my favorite donut shop. I moved to San Ramon in the early 90's and didn't even know what a donut was. My immigrant parents never deemed it necessary for me to be introduced to such an American delight. After discovering the Donut Hole it quickly became one of my favorite sweet treats. Fresh donuts, cheap coffee and a great place to read the paper and even get some Yelp time in on free wi-fi. Johnny's has been around since 1969 which means they've been baking fresh donuts daily for almost 40 years. WOW. read more

Excellent donuts. Very fresh (and this was at 10:30 in the morning), no stale oil flavor, soft. Even the cake donut (not my favorite but my daughter had to have the chocolate one with sprinkles) was better than average. Nice and fluffy rather than being a dense, greasy hockey puck. Cruller was good too and bigger than the ones you can get at Christie's (I like Christie's more though). Nice variety of donuts and pastries. The croissants looked really good. It is much bigger inside than you would expect before you walk in the door. Plenty of comfortable booths to sit at. Perfect for taking the kids and enjoying a donut there. Only downside: coffee was really weak. But I don't expect great coffee at a donut place. read more

I have never set foot into this shop. However, my husband and daughter occasionally bring home donuts when they go out for breakfast on Sundays. I have tried enough of their donuts to write a review. After a long hiatus, we were due for a donut run today. 2 words: French Crueller. I have never been a FC kinda of girl. The original glaze was my go to. My next favorite is their jelly filled. When I 1st had one, I thought it needed more filling. My husband shared this feedback with . Not long after, there was more filling. They listened! There are fruits pieces and just fake food coloring filling. read more

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

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 !!

My first time at this Mall, I hit the jackpot of coffees. This coffee shop is a find!!! Tucked away…read morein a mall, by Macy's men's section.. I walked into a roomy, well lit, clean tables, vast menu, pleasing decor kinda coffee shop. They have a wide range of beverages to select from. The staff is kind and receptive - I tailored my beverage so I can avoid sugar - and they did just that. They made my Triple Chocolate Mocha to my order request. Woot woot!! It tastes good! There's lots of food and you can feel peckish cause the food here will meet the needs! They also have a fun set of coffee and tea mugs displayed! Slightly expensive but hey worth it. The prices are reasonable. Give this place a chance, and you'll go back for more. The only thing about this place is they don't have paper straw. (Plastic is no good for the ocean).

The service is good, staff is friendly and quick. At this point I've tried a couple of their items: Iced Chai 3/10, it was suuuper strong even with less chai and more milk, I couldn't even drink it. It made my stomach hurt so bad. Iced Caramel Latte 8/10, yummy but I wish it had more of the espresso. Iced white mocha 9/10, very good and not too sweet Coconut crunch blend 10/10, it's like a frappe & had the perfect amount of coconut taste. Cheese Danish 10/10 very good. Chocolate croissant 6/10, nothing special. They also get a plus for their crushed ice :)

Johnny's Doughnut Shop is a delightful spot for doughnut enthusiasts. The selection is consistently fresh, offering a variety of flavors to satisfy any craving. One of the standout features is the quick service - you can expect to get your hands on these delectable treats without a long wait. However, it's important to note that prices have seen an increase. While the quality remains top-notch, the higher prices might be a consideration for those on a budget. Despite this, Johnny's continues to deliver on taste and service, making it a worthwhile stop for doughnut aficionados. read more

I recently visited Johnny's Donuts at 7355 Village Pkwy, and it didn't disappoint! My favorite donut is the classic raised glaze, and it was fantastic--perfectly light, fluffy, with just the right amount of sweetness. The glaze was smooth and melted in your mouth with every bite. The shop had a cozy, welcoming vibe, and the staff were friendly and quick. I'll definitely be back to try more! read more

I used to enjoy coming to Johnny's Donuts, but I think they must have changed owners recently. The quality has really gone down -- the donuts are just average now, nothing special. What really shocked me though was the price. I paid over $15 for a half dozen! That's way too expensive for the quality you're getting. Definitely not worth it, and I won't be back. read more

They have fresh, tasty doughnuts always. A great choice for this side of the east bay. I love anything maple & they have a few maple varieties. Since I live somewhat close I frequent this place when having a doughnut needing meltdown. Staff is pleasant, place is decently clean (for a doughnut shop). Will be back next week. read more

Overrated. The donuts certainly didn't live up to the hype. They certainly don't justify the price and having to wait in a long line.

We searched online for a donut shop off I-580 East and found Donut Basket because of its outstanding reviews. I'm happy to say those reviews were absolutely right! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with genuine smiles and friendly service. The staff took the time to recommend their breakfast sandwiches and let us know that fresh donuts had just come out around 10 a.m. We couldn't resist trying the ube donuts, red velvet donuts, and cronies and every single one was amazing! The donuts were incredibly soft, fresh, and full of flavor. The breakfast sandwiches were just as delicious, and the coffee deserves a special mention. We're pretty picky when it comes to coffee, but this was one of the best cups we've had in a long time. What really made our visit memorable was the atmosphere. We originally planned to grab our food and continue our drive, but the welcoming staff made us want to stay and enjoy our breakfast there. While we were eating, several locals came in, and it was clear they had built real relationships with the staff. They even shared how much they love coming here, which says a lot about the place. To top it all off, the staff surprised us with some filled donut holes to try, and they were absolutely delicious! If you're traveling to or from San Francisco, we highly recommend making a stop at Donut Basket. Everything is fresh, delicious, and there's an impressive variety to choose from. The outstanding customer service made the experience even better. We'll definitely be back next summer during our annual Northern California road trip. Donut Basket has earned a permanent spot on our travel tradition!

My go-to is always an original glazed as it's not covered up with frills and distractions from truly tasting the dough. At first look, it wasn't overly opague aka covered in sugar glaze. It had just enough to sweet the top. It was a nice chew and sponginess that made me want to take another bite. Not too sweet. I only cut half as I wanted to try something sweeter, working my way up. I love a good raspberry jelly donut. Again, nice chew and not too sweet. Filling didn't have that artificially taste and spread evenly with each bite. I enjoyed it. DD loved the chocolate cake with cereal top. She didn't share bc it was that good to her. Hubs ate the chocolate glaze and maple bar by himself so I couldn't taste either. I guess the fam enjoyed it. Wish they had some French Cruellers as that's another favorite of mine. Before we had the sweets, we did share a croissant bacon egg cheese sandwich. Ngl, I was pleasantly surprised. Microwaved crispy bacon and melted cheese and it was a pretty tasty breakfast sandwich was for a donut shop.

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.
