I was stuck at the DMV waiting and had the smell of bacon stuck in my head from the walk in. I decided to go find that bacon taking a break from the monotony of the wait. Right next door I found maple leaf donuts. As I got closer I saw the signs in the windows said "bagels" and "sandwiches" so I knew this had to be the place. When I walked in I was pleased to find a nice clean place with a display counter filled with all kinds of freshly made tasty treats. I went for the bacon omelet bagel on an onion bagel and it was great! Bacon (a bit sparse) and a fluffy egg omelet with an herbed butter spread on a freshly made, super soft, onion bagel. $4.61 including tax. Definitely hit the spot and let me forget that I was at the DMV for a minute. I hope I never have to go back to the DMV but I would definitely go back to maple leaf, give'em a try! read more

I got a call from my office manager that she forgot the donuts. Fortunately I was early in my commute and was able to stop by here and grab two dozen doughnuts. You get a free glazed one when you check in on yelp. Super nice lady and she picked a variety for me. Only downside was Apple Pay was not working. The doughnuts were devoured by staff. We did not have any leftovers. They have a variety of breakfast sandwiches and they carry peerless coffee which is awesome. I also appreciated that I was asked nut free or mixed. Even though there is cross contamination.. still nice to ask. Will definitely be back thank you for saving our meeting! read more

Maple Leaf Donuts is a little hidden from the main road and I had not seen it though I had driven by hundreds of times. I finally saw it on one of my long "Covid19 sanity walks" in the neighborhood and just to stop by. I picked up a dozen original glazed (+1 for a Yelp Checkin). Really good donuts and sweet lady who helped me equates to a solid 4 rating. read more

I was walking by and need sustenance. I saw on Yelp and the small Maple Leaf sign. It is sadly hidden behind the Subway and bath store. So if you are not a local you have no idea it is even there!! Well I went in and wanted to get my egg and cheese sandwich on a croissiant but they were all out of crossiants. Shame. I also didnt want to leave and not support a small business so I got a bagel and Snapple. It held me over until I had some lunch later on. They do take card here which was great. And super quick service. The lady that helped me was friendly the whole time while making my food. read more

Not many donut shops in Los Gatos. The owners here are very kind. You'll get good donuts with a smile. Great drink selection. I have not had the bagels but they smell good. Donuts are probably a 7/10. They are good but wouldn't drive more than 10 minutes for them. The service is great. Easy parking. It's right across from the dmv. read more

If you're a fan of apple fritters and happen to be in Los Gatos...Maple Leaf is definitely worth a stop!!! The apple fritters here are amazing. Only $2 and the doughnut is full of apples (every bite!) and the cinnamon/sugary goodness that we all enjoy. It's HUGE too, so you can easily share it...or eat it yourself and do cardio later lol. Get yourself a coffee and you got a satisfying sweet treat!!! Besides that, the donuts here are great. Light and airy...I cannot complain. Maple Leaf also serves bagels, breakfast sammies, smoothies/shakes, and coffees...makes it a great one stop shop for breakfast treats. Don't forget my recommendation...apple fritter! Toss one of those baddies in your order the next time you are here, you won't regret it. Final Piece of Dirty Donovan Life Advice? Maple Leaf is right next to the DMV. read more

I've lived in Los Gatos for 18 years. This has a been a morning go-to for years. I had stopped eating here for a bit as is life but came back to order two sandwiches. my total for a ham and turkey sandwich with two sodas was $19. when I got home I opened my sandwich to see one slice of ham and two and half of turkey. I wasted money here. I completely understand restaurants are drowning and if need be cut costs where they can. Times are tough, I get it but to have no meat on my now, lettuce sandwich, means I won't be coming back. which is a shame I used to love the quick bites here. best of luck in their future but I'll be heading to places with food in the order. read more

This shop is great and a little over 5 min walking distance from my house! yAY! A great treat for ....a small work out hahaha. too bad they close early... Love this place. Their jelly donuts and donut holes are so awesome!! get here early or all the donut holes will be gone! ): I do love their sandwiches too, although i always get the #1. Unfortunately, even though they do taste good, i know that they microwave the sandwiches. I saw + heard it myself. The portions are still good for the price though! their cafe drinks (smoothies) are a bit expensive for my taste. But they're okay. I had their expresso mocha one, and it tasted good, but i got a bad stomache a an hour later... The people working there are extremely nice, and i like good customer service! I will be back soon! read more

A sign of a good donut shop is low donut inventory at 10 am. Customer service a 5. Prompt service a 5. They were all out of maple donuts on a Saturday. Maybe I get the 4 stars for getting donuts too late. Some donut shops don't take debit cards. Don't sweat. They do. Outside eating and inside eating. My boy devoured the glazed. It was alright.

Living within walking distance of Maple Leaf is a dangerous combination when you're a lover of coffee and sweets! My husband and I are guilty of frequenting this hidden gem at least once a week. What stands out the most is that we are always greeted with the most incredible friendly service. Coffee is self-serve and there's always multiple roasts of freshly brewed coffee to choose from. My go-to combo is a maple old fashioned donut with a vanilla nut coffee. For someone who drinks coffee black, it's always a huge plus to have the option of a flavored unsweetened coffee. I don't often venture from my regular order, but I can say that the cheddar jalapeño bagel is loaded with toppings and is the fluffiest bagel I have ever eaten. Overall, a local spot that's a must if you're in Los Gatos. read more

Small shop at the corner end of a mall right across DMV Los Gatos I was half an hour early for my DMV appointment & decide to check out Maple doughnut. Opted for the chocolate doughnut with chocolate sprinkles. Doughnut was crispy on the outside & soft crumbly center. It taste fresh (without the oily aftertaste that some shops has) 3.5 star When I check in on Yelp, it got me a free doughnut. Mine mine... decisions decisions decisions... I settled for the maple glazed doughnut & had it to go. Had it for teatime once I got home. OMG... this doughnut is so fluffy/airy inside with a nice crisply layer in the outside. The maple glaze was just right, not too thicker & just the right amount of sweetness. 5 Star! I'll definitely go back when I'm in that area. Love some of the cafes nearby but will have to think how to enjoy doughnuts from here while I sip some coffee in those cafes read more

I was searching for some food I could buy for lunch really early in the morning and I didn't have many options besides: 1. Safeway; with the worst customer service 2. Subway; open 24 hours but you kind of get tired of 3. 7-11; which I am guilty going to almost every week to buy a snack or two I really hate driving into Downtown Los Gatos (especially during lunch time) because once you're in, getting out would take you about 20 minutes due to the parking and traffic. There is truly almost no escape!! Even if you THINK you've found a different route! Anyway, that's when I found this wonderful donut shop.. on an early morning when downtown isn't full of new DMV drivers. To me, first impressions mean everything. I don't know if some people may be misunderstanding the woman behind the counter because she speaks limited English-- but she is truly nice. She greeted me with a smile along with a hello, the moment I walked in. I was afraid she was going to tell me they don't serve any other sandwiches, besides breakfast sandwiches, when I ordered the premium chicken sandwich on a croissant (BOMB, BTW). But nope! She just said "okay!" and went on to making it! I also decided to treat myself to a chocolate donut and some orange juice. My total was about $10. And it may seem a little pricey... but the quality of the sandwich is great and it truly hit the spot when lunch time rolled around!! This mom and pop shop is definitely my new go-to early in the morning. ;) read more

I grew up in Los Gatos and moved back in the last year. I work down in San Jose and often will have a donut or two with a carton of milk to start the day. I stopped by Maple Leaf Donuts and got two donuts and an elementary school size carton of milk. I was on 17 headed towards San Jose (in front of Vasona) when I took my first swig of sour milk coming from the carton. YUK! I was too far down the road so just bit the bullet and finished the donuts sans milk. I went back on Saturday (6/15) to get some donuts and grabbed another elementary school size carton of milk. I explained to girl behind the counter what had happened on my previous visit and asked if she might compliment the milk this time to make up for the sour carton. She said she would not. Surprised, I explained to her again what had happened and all I was asking was to have her acknowledge that I had been sold undrinkable milk and to have them take responsibility. Her argument was that all expiration dates are current and it was not her problem. I have been taught that the customer always comes first. The way she responded to me, I felt like a liar. I asked her if she was willing to lose a customer for her lack of sensitivity. She was and she has. The $ amount is trivial but the principal is huge. My brothers found other donut shops that day. Word of mouth is powerful. read more

This is by far the best place for doughnuts/donuts (however you decide to spell it). Staff completely understand most customers are limited on time so are quick to serve, the price of everything is incredibly fair and everything is simply delicious. With stores cropping up with creative and kooky flavours, it's nice to have an old-school donut shop that do the classics right. read more

One of my favorite local donut shops. The donuts are always fresh, even if you come close to closing time. The apple fritter is my absolute favorite - it's the perfect combination of crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside. With COVID-19 the hours are limited to just the morning, so make sure to keep that in mind if you plan on checking it out.

A few months back, a friend on yelp sent me a random email asking me, "If you were to buy me a donut, what kind would it be?" I replied, "An old fashion cake donut, because you are old, boring, and traditional." I was thinking about this fellow yelper yesterday, and wondering what he was up to when I parked in front of Maple Leaf Donut, right across the parking lot from Salon Rouge. I decided to run in and get a donut in his place, since he's far to healthy to eat one anyway. I got one donut and a large mint tea. The man behind the counter was soft-spoken and had a cute smile on his face, and smiling back, I didn't for a second feel guilty that I was getting something I probably shouldn't. The menu displayed behind him was long and from the looks of it, everything was inexpensive. They have freshly made donuts & bagels, a variety of breakfast and lunch bagel sandwiches, and various types of coffee and tea. I enjoyed both my donut (very soft and fresh, and not too sweet) and my mint tea, and will definitely stop back here at my next hair appointment. In honor of my friend of course. read more

Their rendition of this rich, crisp, laminated Breton butter orgy is the best I've had in this country, and yes I'll die on this hill. Sandwiches are amazing, as are loaves of any bread you care to mention. Prices are somewhat high, as part of the affluent Silicon Valley ecosystem where a place like Manresa can thrive. But I would say it's fair value for the high quality. They serve Verve coffee, so this is also the place to get the best latte in Los Gatos (a town strangely lacking in good coffee given how stinking rich the population is). The atmosphere is standard modern coffee joint. Not super comfortable but fine. Some outdoor seating, a pandemic-era street patio situation. Service is generally friendly and competent at baseline, and often even better.

Good morning cap! Nice and smooth

There were quite a few online and phone orders coming in, which slowed down the ordering process a bit. It also led to some minor confusion, as the staff had to repeatedly confirm the ingredients for our sandwiches. That said, the sandwiches were well-made and tasted great, which made the wait worthwhile.

This is an excellent casual, neighborhood breakfast spot!…read more Despite the busy crowd of people out front waiting, we were seated very quickly and service was fast overall. The food hit the spot! My boyfriend ordered the pancakes and I ordered the crab cakes with poached eggs. First, these are large portion sizes and reasonably priced. The pancakes were large and fluffy, and they didn't skimp on the crab in the crab cakes. The side potatoes were nice and crispy! There's a wide variety on the menu so I can't wait to come back and try something different.

First time stopping by (and Purple Onion location!) and I really enjoyed the quick lunch I had…read more Location has ample indoor and outdoor seating and outdoors is mostly shaded. I ordered the Thai Turkey sandwich which came with a side salad. I'm not sure what made the sandwich Thai other than the name but it was toasted and tasty. The salad was served directly on parchment paper on a tray - not my favorite presentation. And it was literally just greens with some shredded carrot and basic dressing. Price was okay but a little more than I would expect for a sandwich and bare bones side salad. I'd stop by again to sit outside and enjoy a lite bite.

I was there last time for their freshly cooked paella and it was impeccable. Recently we came back…read moretwice, once on Sunday as I forgot that the paella was a Friday thing, so the staff told me that they usually have paella and clam chowder freshly cooked on Friday. They happened to have a small tub of Friday clam chowder left for sale, for a whopping $16! That price dropped my rating to a 4 star. Service is still 5, but man, the value proposition isn't as high as before. The clam chowder tasted good, creamy and all, but $16 for that is really hard to swallow. The store itself is clean and sells a variety of meat products and imported goods such as from Italy. We came again on Friday evening, at 5pm exact and saw the paella pan laid outside with some amount of paella piled up. The pan felt cold and we were confused if they haven't started cooking or those were the left over. So we went inside to ask and they said the paella was available starting at 5pm, so what's on the pan was cooked. We bought 1 portion, which feeds 2-3 and it came in two 16 oz tubs. For $35, it fed my husband and myself just right. The smoky flavor was on the rice with meat and lots of clams and mussels (but not those fatty mussels that you saw in the Belgium style dish). $35 for dinner of two is not as bad value as the $16 bowl of chowder. So overall, 3.5-4 stars for food and value, 5 stars for service and friendliness.

The bánh mì is one of the best I've had--fresh, flavorful, and very filling at a great price! What stands out is the consistency: all visits were consistent in customer service and food quality! They're not stingy on the meats or toppings, and the bread is top quality--crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. The service is also outstanding: friendly, welcoming, and fast. The gentleman even greeted me by name, which made it feel extra personal and authentic. This is hands-down one of the best bánh mì spots around, and it's definitely going to be a regular stop for me!

It's a mom-and-pop shop at the back of an office complex, with 3 tables indoors, and 4 tables/2 benches outdoors. The menu at the entrance had quite a number of Vietnamese items. The breakfast menu and the specialty sandwiches/salads menu were behind the counter. They did accept credit cards/Apple Pay. The prices listed on their menu included a 4% cash discount. The shop was clean and service was friendly. I ordered the chicken banh mi and Vietnamese coffee combo. It took a few minutes as the sandwich was freshly prepared. The coffee was pretty strong. While the sandwich was not as flavorful as I would expect, it tasted healthy and super fresh. I also loved how crispy the outside of the bread was. It was quite expensive considering the size of the sandwich, but not surprisingly as it was Los Gatos.
