Nice, old school, donut shop. They had all the classics, nothing much broader but from the selection they had the donuts were delicious.

SUMMARY: A donut shop in Concord claims it's the Best Donut Shop in Concord, but sorry we disagree 100%. King's Donuts is the best shop in town by a long shot! Plenty of parking and one of the friendliest, hardest working family in all of Concord! BACKGROUND: OK, we know at our age we shouldn't be eating donuts for breakfast. But we're not going to deny ourselves of something decadent either from time to time! KD is a few miles away and we know every time we hit it, we always leave happy. SERVICE (5/5) The family is such a jewel of a family. You don't meet families like this anymore. They all chip in from the nuclear family to the extended family. You can see the progression of the kids, nieces, nephews, etc. on the wall. And they work there. They're never in a hurry to take your order and rush you out. Always smiling. Always cleaning to keep things looking professional. Love them so much. Reminds me of my own mom and when she ran her grocery businesses. DONUTS (5/5) I'll keep it brief: never had anything there that either wasn't fresh or tasted good. My faves (when they're not sold out) are the bacon maple bars. Also they have good croissants but they do microwave them to warm them up, so if you're not a fan of micro'd bread (like me), just pass and toaster oven it when you get home. RETURN VISIT? Unfortunately more than I'd like to admit, haha :) read more

King's Donuts - I'm getting chubbier by the second just looking at it. - Donuts Near Me - Concord, California

Was in the shopping center for a morning appointment and saw this place on the corner and decided to stop by for some breakfast donuts. The donuts they offered were great fresh donuts but only had standard type donuts available at the time (didn't see a maple bacon that some other reviewers talked about). Regardless, the classics were tasty! Paid around $5 for a half dozen donuts and they gave me a free donut plus a couple donut holes for free =] No frills interior and a quaint mom and pop shop which is taking as much precautions with COVID as possible, having only a few people inside the small shop at a time, the rest waiting outside. Parking is easy as there are a bunch of other shops next door all sharing a large parking lot that doesn't ever get crowded that I've seen. read more

Great donuts!!! Friendly service!! Regular mom&pop donut store which meets expectations!! Very fair pricing. Give them a try. You won't be disappointed. I love their apple fritter!! read more

Kings Donuts looks like a "Hole-In-The-Wall" donut shop. However, their donuts are the best in the area. read more

I'll give them a two because they were never that bad. Today they were very stale. Even putting them in the microwave not good. I've been going to the donut place in bay point next to Safeway. They are always fresh and on point read more

I ordered 48 Donuts for teach appreciate week. This isn't my usual spot, but it was a Monday and this place as open. Glad I found this place because the donuts were fresh, service was fast, they accept credit cards. Definitely plan to go again for my donut fix! read more

Parking plentiful, easy location off Clayton Rd. Look for the clean Honda S2000 parked adjacent to the storefront. There might even be two of them. Very clean and spacious shop, friendly service, and selection was great. Old fashioned maple, glazed, sugar dusted, shredded coconut cake donuts, all regular donuts. Next visit, I'll splurge for a dozen of the "fancy" donuts. I got the dozen donuts for $10 cash which is a super value and I'm happy to support a local Concord business rather than a national corporate company like Dunkin Donuts down the street. Because supporting local business is supporting local community and promotion of local economy. Just a side note: I read the ingredients list on the Dunkin Donuts website and there are many ingredients I don't want to put in my body. I'm not naive to think donuts are healthy foods, but I prefer real natural ingredients whenever and wherever possible when I'm eating luxurious sweet foods. Check this out from the nutrition list at DD - rancid oils, fillers, and stripped nutrients, not to mention artificial flavors (chemicals): Enriched Unbleached Wheat Flour, Palm Oil, Defatted Soy Flour, Gelatinized Wheat Starch, Konjac Flour, Artificial Flavor, Defatted Wheat Germ, Dextrose, Carrageenan, Agar, Cellulose Gum, Potassium Sorbate (Preservative), Artificial Flavor. read more

King's Donuts - August 2019: regular dozen donuts! My laborers loved them, thank you! - Donuts Near Me - Concord, California

Fluffy donuts, friendly staff, family favorite! King's is a local staple not only for donuts but breakfast sandwiches and coffee too. The line is always out the door on the weekends so get there early if you want to snag a good sampling or your favorite treat. My favorites are Sugar because they use the fine sugar and blueberry cake. read more

I went back very early this time just before 7 am much better selection especially plain glazed donut and donut holes are so melt in your mouth that it's very hard to stop at just one piece... I also tried croissant ham n cheese (heated it at home in the toaster oven) was very yummy... i totally love their French donuts so good ... I can agree this is the best donut place around the Concord area... try it you'll like it and never a regret! Just remember to go early closer to 4:30 am the better the selection, the later you go set yourself up for some disappointment.... Enjoy you'll come back again again and again it's that good read more

This must be a popular location because they were almost out of donuts at 10am on a Saturday. Lots of trinkets and other random collectibles above the glass cases for kids to look at. Prices clearly marked. Would like to check this place out again when they have a full case. read more

Kings is always fresh, fair priced and the staff are friendly. I recommend their maple bars.

Best donut shop ever, I have never had a bad donut here and the family running the shop is really nice! Literally, everything is good! I don't like it when my wife gets donuts from other places, I mean I still eat those other donuts of course, but I eat them with disdain. I would of much rather had Kings. read more

The donuts are perfect. Krispy Kreme, Dunkin... no comparison to King's Donuts. The staff is very friendly and pleasant. Coffee is always fresh. But seriously, BEST DONUTS EVER!! read more

King's Donuts - Donut cake for a bachelorette party. If you ask nice enough, they'll make one for you! - Donuts Near Me - Concord, California

Amazing donuts I have had after recently moving to this area. These are legit donuts that are super moist and fluffy, which is just the way I like them! The sugared donut is my fav but they have SO much to choose from - all look so delish! This place is definitely worth going to. Way better than those foo foo donut shops that charge soo much for donuts. Try this spot! You won't be disappointed. read more

I love this place. I am always a fan of mom and pop stores that aren't commercialized. The donuts are like yummy, puffy clouds coated in sugar. Clean and always quick. Me and the kids get about a dozen donuts with some donut holes for exactly 12 bucks. Dunkin Donuts and Krispy Cream is no comparison in my book. Always a win! read more

Slumpin Shonuff, Krusty Krak, all them other donuts is truly wak. Those other places should fall in line and call themselves "serfs donuts," or "Vassal's court of fried dough rings," for there be only one King: Wild king, you make my heart sing...you make donut rings, groovy... read more

Should have left this review a long time ago. Been enjoying these donuts for years thanks to a colleague; brings them in to challenge our will power and a CHALLENGE IT IS. These are tried and true, straight forward, delicious! These are the type of donuts that cops approve of. Walk-in in the morning and the smell of fresh donuts is awesome. Their donuts are perfect really. The glaze is not too heavy, the cake donuts are just "cakey" enough, and the filled donuts are FILLED not a minuscule dot in the middle like most places. Great apple fritters w/real apple pieces in it. Don't taste any oil / greasiness at all. Now, I go by and buy when I can. They are the nicest people. They throw in extra donuts sometimes for frequent customers. Easily the best donuts in the East Bay. Go by and give them a glazed finger high five and don't worry about your waistline (just don't go everyday). read more

Love this little family owned donut shop! Now, when I run a 10k or a half marathon event, I usually tend to reward myself to a nice crispy-edged cinnamony soft and frosty glazed apple fritter ($1.75). And why not, I deserve it! They're average in size and make pretty darn good ones too. So is their double twisted almond cinnamon maple glazed roll... TOO freakin' good! I've also tried their chocolate eclairs as well ($1.35), so fresh and soft. I wouldn't mind having one of these again next time. They do serve normal donuts of almost every variety as well. You want jelly filled, you got it! Something with creme, lemon, or maple; They've got it! Coffee, ham & cheese croissant; They'll serve it! Service was fine, it included a few smiles. Their coffee is regular coffee, and their tables are clean. This is a great donut shop for Concord. Right in between all the walking zombies. Tips: ~ They usually close around 3pm, so get there early for a well deserved apple fritter :) read more

I should have known, considering there was a line out the door. These are the best donuts I've had in a long time. So I Stopped by on a Saturday morning to grab my son a couple of donuts and decided I'd grab a glazed twist, and boy was that glaze twist delicious. I will definitely be back. read more

I am greeted with smiles every time go there! Then, I am greeted with big smiles from the staff at Pleasant Hill Post Acute! I highly recommend this place!!

This is my first time here ,I would return they have Fresh donuts ,good coffee and friendly staff

Best donuts in Concord!! Love them!! Super soft, tasty and fresh. Friendly shop too!!

We love King's Donuts, and we're always so happy when we go. They have a great selection of types and flavors. Their maple frosting is delightful, and not overly sweet. Their apple fritter is perfect. Crisp spots, soft spots, not too much icing, great apple flavor, and not greasy. My son loves their cake donut with chocolate frosting and sprinkles, and my daughter loves their chocolate bar. They always throw in a handful of donut holes into our order, and the kids love the little extra treat before they eat their donuts. The ladies there are incredibly sweet and happy to be there. They genuinely seem happy to see me when I come in. For a couple months I was picking up 10 dozen donut holes every Sunday morning to take to our church. I'd call them early the morning of to order, and they were so gracious in taking my order, and they'd recognize me when I came in and I wouldn't have to wait in the line. Kings Donuts is definitely our favorite donut shop in Concord, thanks for the great experience every time. read more

King's Donuts just blew my mind! Best ham and cheese Croissant I've ever had, so thanks again King's Donuts and friendly staff for making my day a whole lot better read more

Can I just ask why this place is so close to the gym? Every time I get out from Fitness Evolution, I drive past this donut shop, and my mind imagines the smell and it becomes a real scent to me. The longing and temptation ignites and I think about the nice glaze donut that would taste so good right now. Do note that this a small place. There are four booths to sit in. A lot of locals come by this area. Most of them live a few blocks away. It's the one breakfast spot, well food spot, in that shopping center. A bunch of salon and hair places with a thrift shop and a dentistry are nearby. (Heh, dentistry nearby.) It's a typical donut shop with the usual choices. We got glaze, sugar, maple, donut holes, and onward. They got milk, coffee, juice, and so on. Prices are reasonable too. One regular donut is 90 cents. Friendly people. Efficient when they grab your stuff. It's a very chill place. You'll see people eating donuts and having coffee a lot when you're around here. Donut was delicious. It tasted like it was fresh out of the oven. It was a satisfying breakfast! read more

This is my favorite place to go for donuts. We live about 20 mins away, but because the ladies here are so friendly and nice, my girls like going here. They always (most of the time) give my girls free donut holes. Their donuts are not only cheap but they're good. They have a nice variety of choices to choose from. read more

Got some donuts this weekend from King's! Super delicious, fresh, and sweet. Their selection was great for 10 am. I will definitely be back!

Wow this is a place that looks like it's stuck back in time. I honestly almost kept driving, but that's sort of everything around here. We were driving by on our way to Brentwood for some fruit picking and craved donuts. This place does not disappoint. Friendly staff and really delicious and fresh donuts. Do yourself a favor and swing by. We got a glazed buttermilk bar and omg it just melted in my mouth. Crunchy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. I just can't anymore. read more

First time coming to this spot, OMG what a gem!!!! I grew up in LA and had a ton of options for donuts. Out there the donuts were always fresh, light and fluffy, with the right amount of frosting. I've since moved to the Bay Area about 10 years ago and the donuts spots out here are mediocre at best. I stopped by this place on a whim and I'm soooo glad I did. I got home and tried one, as soon as I took the first bite I was taken back to my childhood!!!! This donuts are the real deal. The lady was also very nice, which is always a plus. Try this place you will not regret it. read more
