I've been wanting an apple fritter for several days now and decided to get one at Manley Donuts this morning. Then I decided I couldn't buy just one donut, so I also got a chocolate bar and a maple bar to go with it. The donuts were huge, especially the apple fritter. It was larger than my hand. They came in a cute donut box. The chocolate bar tasted good and I quickly polished off the whole thing. Then I tasted the apple fritter. It was hard and heavy and not at all what I expected. I only had a couple bites before putting it back in the box. I tried the maple bar much later in the day and it was very good. read more

The bacon, egg, and ham croissant was solid. The croissant was soft and flaky, and the combination of meats brought everything together. Also tried the egg, jalapeño, and ham bagel, which was okay. The highlight for me was the glazed donut. It was soft, light, and flaky with the right amount of sweetness. You can tell the batter is made really well, which makes a noticeable difference in texture. read more

Love the viet iced coffee here! It's frothy and not super sweet. Breakfast sandwiches and donuts are also really tasty and fresh.

Amazing donut spot! Seriously under rated for the quality! Tried the ube cake and chocolate chocolate and loved both. Weren't crazy sweet (which is my #1 issue with donuts). Didn't feel too heavy or greasy. Tasted absolutely perfect and loved every bite. Service is friendly and quick. Ambiance is simple with the donuts in plain view at the display counter. Can't wait to try them all. Ube cake was my favorite. read more

I love coming here in the mornings, especially when I would head to work. I would stop and get the Vietnamese coffee. The donuts are good as well, but I do wish they had more of a variety like some chocolate doughnut with peanuts on top. I only see one version of doughnut with peanuts. Maybe it's for like food allergy purposes not sure. But other than that, this place is great. read more

I was working in the area and saw this place conveniently nearby. I stopped by to see what would speak to me and that I'd like to eat that morning. The ham and cheese croissant w jalapeño really hit the spot. I know donuts and croissants are kinda generic so you don't really expect things to be different from other places. I've actually had some below average ham and cheese croissants so this place was a pleasant surprise with the above average performance lol.. You'll find plenty of parking here being that they share a parking lot with a bunch of businesses including Safeway. I'd say the main reason why I felt inclined to write this review aside from the quality and top customer service. I was helped by a young man with a great attitude and speedy service during the morning rush. read more

Came here one morning with my bf to grab some brunch before starting our day. I opted for a ham and cheese croissant and bottled tea while he had a break bagel and iced coffee. I enjoyed my croissant - decent sized with good amount of filling and well made. I wish it had a bit more mayo, tho, as it was on the dry side. I had half and kept the other to finish later. My bf enjoyed his bagel, but also wanted more mayo. The iced coffee was good. Staff was very nice and efficient when getting out order ready. The shop was small and cozy - enough space for people to eat their donuts/sandwiches, but doesn't encourage hanging out for hours. It was clean and well kept. read more

Dang I love donuts! As a self certified donut connoisseur I can say with all conviction these donuts are delicious! I got 2, a chocolate old fashioned and a pink glazed cruller. The old fashioned was perfect, with the added taste of nutmeg which I definitely liked. The cruller was a true light and airy cruller which is hard to find anymore and the pink glaze had a lovely strawberry flavor to it. I took my donuts home to enjoy with a glass of creamy whole milk. It cost me $15 for 6 donuts for me and the fam bam but this is to be expected in today's inflated economy. Although technically it was like free for me because I found $15 cash yesterday ..... so hey..... read more

Manley Donuts - Ate these 2 lovelies on my balcony with a creamy glass of whole milk! Yummy yummy nom nom nom..... LoL - Donuts Near Me - San Jose, California

Nice customer service, but the donuts were terrible. Maybe I have been spoiled by WORLD FAIR IN HAYWARD. But these donuts were terrible. I had the Apple fritter, glazed buttermilk, bearclaw with apple in it and a chocolate old fashion. I would say that it's missing taste. I could taste the sugar, but not the sweetness. If you have ever had a good donut, this place will disappoint. Just being honest. Won't go back. My boyfriend said he liked the donut with sprinkles. And that the owner is really nice. I try and be honest about the food. Giving him a 3 star because he has been there a long time and my boyfriend likes some donuts there. But, I still stand by my Thoughts of honesty and taste ;). read more

Great tasting donuts. Tender crumb cake donuts. Glazed donuts stay fresh even the next day. This is my new go to place.

Amazing cronuts and cronut holes. Very dense but not overly sweet. You also have the option of getting custard or jelly filling as well. This place rocks! Would go back again! read more

I got a coffee here and it literally tasted like water. When I asked if they could remake it or if I could get a refund the lady said no refunds and gave me a stare and said if I remake it it's gonna taste the same. Then I asked if I could just trade it for another type of coffee or even just a donut and she said no. That she couldn't do anything for me. Terrible attitude from all employees. Zero customer service. read more

Update ordered just one donut for myself while i was here just to try, and it was cold after the young guy with glasses told me they just came out also telling me the apple fritters i was curious for at 5 am were glazed just waiting to be boxed but couldn't cause they were wet. Waste of money yall im so serious and i hate leaving reviews read more

I usually go to another shop since it's closer to where I live however I don't mind taking the drive to Manley's. It's my daughter's favorite. Their donuts are light and tasty.

I've been coming to this shop for over 20yrs, mostly under previous ownership when I lived around the corner in WG. Now I live in the RoseGarden neighborhood but stopped this morning to pick up donuts on my way to the office. It's my third time back under new ownership and first time picking up donuts for the office, so let's just say I was shocked at the price tag. Just under $30 for a dozen random everyday donuts, a small coffee and a cinnamon twist. Donuts are fine, but man, this is unbelievable pricing. Are all donut shops this high? I wouldn't be surprised to pay this for Stan's hot and fresh donuts, but for this? Also, can we stop using these flat boxes for donuts? They are horrible for carrying. Finally, is it too much to ask for real creamer or half and half? Just a giant jug of powdered creamer. No thanks. read more

Yummy donuts, croissants, AND....delicious Vietnamese Coffee! You can grab a small coffee for $4, or a large for $5. Just remember it's cash only.

Well sad to say, whoever the old lady is that runs the place when husband is not around is rude for one. She tried charging my fiance more then she should have for a basic glaze donut, a prize for a twist glaze. Then after she had the nerve to tell him good luck finding somewhere that will sell him a donut at a better price. Ofcourse this is not our regular donut shop, my fiance tells her where the better donuts and prices are she kept yapping as he left. Customer service is horrible with her there alone. Her husband needs to run it himself she's a problem and this is not the first read more

So happy to see them open thanksgiving morning. Got great service and delicious donuts.

The cronuts are absolutely amazing and all the items are very cute and aesthetic. I'll definitely come back!

I dropped in at around 11 am on a Sunday looking for something to bring to my parents' house. I ordered an assortment for them and second box to bring home. The sweet lady threw in an extra donut into each box. I have only tried one so far, a raised glaze, but it was perfect: sweet and soft! I would definitely buy their donuts again! read more

Very nice service and sells out. Chocolate traditional is too sweet and the glaze is ok

Fresh doughnuts and bagels and coffee all the time and they gave me some free donut holes really nice also the service is really good

This is my favorite donut spot. The donuts are better than other places, super soft and the jelly/custard/cream are all stuffed to capacity. My fav is the glazed raspberry filled, so good and a great ratio of jelly to donut. Not only are the donuts great, but the owners are very friendly and will remember you if you go semi regularly. I've been to 8-9 different donut spots in San Jose, and this is my go-to every time. They are so soft and chewy, and the toppings are high quality. I literally just at 4 glazed raspberry filled donuts and I feel great. read more

My first time here after reading reviews. I stopped by this morning to pick up donut holes and some glazed donuts for my kiddo's classroom celebration. The lady that helped me behind the counter was very sweet, she immediately greeted me when I walked in and also gave me some extra donut holes in my bag. Donuts were fresh and delicious! I'll totally be coming back an recommending this place to others. Tip: cash only, they do have an atm machine in the shop. read more

solid donuts. The owners are super friendly and welcoming as well. Very dangerous because I live so close, but plan to be back!

I love Manley Donuts!! I was first introduced to their donuts because this is my work's go-to donut shop when they're ordering it for the office. after trying it just once, I had to find out where they were getting these amazing donuts. They're always so fresh and there's always such a variety. When I finally got the chance to visit the shop myself, the lady working there is super sweet and let me take my time drooling over all the donuts. She ended up throwing in a maple cronut on the house, and it was DELISH. It's probably a good thing that I don't live close by. Otherwise I'd get super fat :3 read more

The people that own/operate this location (Bird Ave) are just the nicest. Such wonderful customer service. And their donuts, well they speak for themselves. After one bite, you will be in donut heaven! So if you are looking for a sweet morning treat (or early afternoon), look no further. I can't personally speak for the coffee because I don't drink it, but I have seen plenty of others that do and they appear to be quite happy. read more
