    One Dozen Cream Puffs
    Gerald R.

    PLUSH POWDERED PUFFS In the Try-City there are "mom and pop" donut shops that sell one item, which customers come back for. At Fresh Donuts & Bagels in Fremont the blueberry cake donut is in demand. At SK Donuts the cronut is very popular item. After seeing pictures I wanted to come to Lloyd's Donut Kitchen because of one item - cream puff. I came here today just past Noon. When I looked at the display window the tray with the cream puffs was empty. I asked one of the workers if the cream puffs were sold out. She said no and asked how many I wanted. I responded a dozen. Then she went to the kitchen to ask one of the bakers how long will the cream puffs be ready. The baker answered five minutes. Usually I would buy one more donut at a donut soup but as I ordered a dozen of cream puffs I didn't order another item. When I took a bite of one cream puff I was hooked. The dough was light and airy. The custard wasn't heavy. The powdered sugar added a gentle sweetness that melts in your mouth. Since these cream puffs were bite-sized you can get addictive to them. However a dozen of the cream puffs is enough for one person to eat. When I go back to Lloyd's Donuts Kitchen I'll try to order other items, but if I'm hesitant I'll rely back to these cream puffs.

    I've always seen this donut shop whenever I go grocery shopping each week so this past Saturday morning I decided to try it out. When I parked I noticed a line out the door and a bunch of people in the area. I thought I would be waiting for a while but I was actually wrong. The employees are very quick and get you everything you need and ringing you up. At the same time they are super sweet and make sure you feel welcomed. The place was very clean and the donuts were all nicely organized and labeled in the glass. I got a box of 6 assorted and donut holes for my toddler. I can say that the donuts were a hit! They were very fresh and soft. My toddler can approve of the donut holes as well since he finished all 6 of them. I guess this place will be my go to spot from now on.

    Saw a video on social media for their cream puffs so I figure I go try them out. It is a little bit bigger the a donut hole with a light cream inside and it was fluffy and soft. By far the best I ever had. The best part it is not too sweet!!! I was waiting for them to make my breakfast sandwich, and ate 4 of them and ordered another dozen. For $8 a dozen cant beat it!!! The breakfast sandwich on wheat bread with bacon, sausage patty and eggs was one of the best!!! I believe they used high quality products!! Ate half in the car before I got home to take a photo, so half sandwich photo!!! LOL!!! Will differently return!!!

    Got the basics glazed ring and a chocolate cake donut fair prices. Glazed was good a little smaller sized compared to other places but was good and melted in my mouth.

    2. Egg, cheese, bacon on croissant

    Come here regularly. Consistently delicious. Best breakfast sandwich and donuts. Great service. Will continue to go here and recommend to others. Classic donut shop vibes.

    How could I not take a picture of this!?!

    Lloyd's Donut Kitchen located in the Mowry East Shopping Center. I never heard of Lloyd's Donut Kitchen until very recently, like this past year. During our late afternoon groceries runs to my M-I-L, I stumbled upon it but it was always closed. Get this...the owner is "Lloyd C." Wow, what a coincidence. Anyways, today, I got a chance to visit them during business hours. They are still a family business but different owners as Lloyd C retired and sold the business about 2 years ago. Classic old fashioned donuts at very affordable prices. No crazy flavors or wild concoctions. Inside seating available. Parking is plentiful. *Apple Fritter - a nice soft donut filled with sweetly spiced apple pieces and a sugary glaze. IMO, a pretty tasty fritter. Support your local business!

    Chocolate glazed donut

    We came in on a Saturday morning and the display case was well stocked with so many choices. We just got a classic chocolate glazed donut, but we also ordered a denver sandwich, and a sausage egg and cheese croissant. Service was fast and attentive, waits were reasonable, and the place offers comfy booth seating and tables, rare for a donut shop. We took our order to go and enjoyed the soft and melty ingredients in the sandwiches and fluffy fresh tasting donut on the road, the perfect meal to start our day.

    Dozen donut holes, we always order this

    I love places open early and with savory options, I've probably been to every donut place within 15 minutes and can't believe I haven't dropped a review for Lloyds yet. Lloyds is a nice local gathering spot and it's normal to see people chatting at the tables over coffee and donuts or picking up a dozen to go, this area of the plaza has plenty of parking and early in the morning all of the cars are here for Lloyds. Breakfast Sandwiches: quick to make and filling, they come cut in half and its two meals for us so quite a good deal. So many local options for these kind of sandwiches but Lloyds is good if you live close by. Donut Holes, Jelly Filled Donut, Cruller: Kids loved these, good solid donuts. We normally get a dilpzen donut Holes and then change up the donuts we get. I saw they had cronuts now that I'll try next time, these one aren't super tall like some of the other local options and look easier to eat. I'm not sure how to find the postings but sometimes there are classic car meetups outside and I would love to take the kids.

    Cream puffs were coated with so much powdered sugar. Too sweet. Light dusting would have been better.

    I've been to Lloyds before and overall, their donuts are fresh and taste great. Came to try their cream puffs, which someone had highlighted in a reel. They were sold out, but another worker overheard me asking about it and said if I could wait 10 minutes because they were about to drop a batch. Sure! But it was coated with so much powdered sugar, making it excessively sweet. All I tasted was the powdered sugar, which overpowered the donut and the custard filling. Disappointed! A light dusting would have been better.

    Mix of donuts, glazed, chocolate glazed, old fashion, cinnamon twist and i also got some croissants. Nice and soft donuts.

    Heard about Lloyd's on a social media platform. A food blogger raving about the Cream Puffs. The Cream Puffs are AMAZING!! Soft cream filled powdered cloud with a slight crunch. Sold by the dz. So good I left and ending up going back to buy another dz. So many different donuts you can chose from. They also have breakfast sandwiches. The service was quick and friendly staff. There is a small dining area if you wanted to stay and enjoy your food.

    I finally got to try this Fremont staple for the first time after everyone and their moms…read morerecommended it. Immediately upon entry, you can see the huge display of neatly arranged donuts, malasadas, and pastries and they all look amazing! So many flavors to choose from that it was a little overwhelming. As others have said, the price point is around $5.50 per piece so have that in mind going in. Ordering was simple enough and servers were kind and patient. Parking is maximum 3 hours and there are some tables and chairs outside to sit and enjoy your goodies. Overall, I think I'm still going to stay loyal to Doughweime in Union City, but these malasadas do live up to the hype. Everything bagel malasada: Surprisingly really good, a light cream cheese filling with everything bagel seasoning on the outside. And the texture of the savory donut was crispy and airy. 9/10 Strawberry cream malasada: Kind of plain, would've been good with strawberry bits inside. 7/10 Biscoff cream malasada: You can taste the real Biscoff crackers in the filling. 7.5/10

    I'm still recovering from the sticker shock. I haven't been here in a while, but yesterday I paid…read more$33+ (before tip) for four donuts - that means if I had gotten a dozen, it would've been $100.

They're a bit pricey at $6.50+ each, but with many rotating creative flavors, it's hard to not pick just one. The Ube malasada did not taste artificial nor was it too sweet. I like to think they are poi malasadas haha It would be nice if their hours were more consistent since seasonal flavors sell out quickly. I find their service to be quick and their shop can ridiculously busy and packed. There is limited seating, but the place is clean and well-kept. I would come here if I am back in Union City.

That donut was completely gone by the time it was my turn. It makes no sense not to have limits on popular items. Then, while I was waiting in line, a woman that came after me apparently told her friend in the back which donuts she wanted, and they took most of the remaining donuts before people actually waiting in line could order. I drove all the way there and barely got anything because of how unfairly and poorly this place is run. The donuts may be good, but the way they handle orders and lines is terrible. Don't waste your time unless you get there extremely early.

    I've never been a fan of pineapple buns- Pineapple King Bakery totally changed all of that!!…read more This Bakery is kind of small in size and it's strictly meant to house transactional sales. Seating consists of a few tables and is more like a takeout joint. The Hong Kong style pastries are sweet, crunchy, yet so very soft and fluffy- all at the same time. The very first taste left me in awe and that has not changed one bit. These baked goods aren't overly sweet. The textures are well rounded and the flavors are unique compared to the Americanized standpoint. These pineapple buns are buttery deliciousness and depending on your choice of filling, it can check off all the marks of being sweet, savory, and leave you wanting more. Faves: *PINEAPPLE BUN [PLAIN] *BBQ PORK PINEAPPLE BUN *BBQ PORK BUN 5/5 stars. The quality has not declined even after all these years.

    I'm not usually a dessert person, but Pineapple King completely won me over…read more Their take on the classic Chinese pineapple bun is next level. The "original" comes filled with a rich, silky custard that's just the right balance of sweet and creamy--never heavy. And the mango version? It's like biting into a smooth, chilled mango pudding tucked inside that perfectly soft, slightly crisp bun top. Unexpected and seriously addictive. What really surprised me is how these outshine a lot of "gourmet" filled donuts I've tried. Less gimmicky, more refined, and honestly more satisfying. This place was great!
