The woman helping customers was genuinely one of the kindest people I've met in a long time. She radiated joy, warmth, and kindness. After an incredibly long and exhausting day, that simple interaction completely changed my mood. The pastries absolutely lived up to the experience. I had the jalapeño cheese pastry, and it was outstanding. Even cold, it was flaky on the outside, soft on the inside, with just the right amount of spice. I caught myself wishing I'd bought another one before I even finished it. My family tried the apple pastry and the sugar donut, and both were equally impressed. The apple pastry was beautifully flaky--you could actually hear the crisp layers with every bite--and the sugar donut disappeared with zero complaints. Great pastries are one thing, but combining exceptional quality with genuinely kind people is what makes a place memorable. I actually considered turning around to buy more before heading home, but I was simply too exhausted after such a long day. That alone tells me everything I need to know. I'll gladly drive the extra distance to come back.

And to top it off, they're BTS ARMY too - forever we are young! We ordered a half dozen to share with the family, and it only cost $9. The shop is clean, the donuts are beautifully displayed, and every single one is fully loaded with flavor and toppings. Best prices, best staff, and some of the best donuts around!

Yum! I was sad when they bánh mì place in downtown Martinez closed, but this one opened up and is…read morecloser to where I live. As a person that grew up in San Jose live there for 18 years I can say that this bánh mì is legitimately close to being to San Jose caliber. It's a little bit shorter and fatter than the traditional ones but they put a lot of meat and pate in it and a bunch of pickled veggies. I always get the classic steamed pork and pate but the other options look really good. The price is also quite reasonable for the size of the sandwich that you get. I have also tried their breakfast sandwiches like the sausage egg croissant and that was also very tasty. They also made great drinks and Boba tea not to mention the donuts we tried a few and the classic glazed donuts is always a good option. I really like this little doughnut/banh mi/breakfast sandwich shop. Please stop by and check them out!

I actually have nothing bad to say about this place. It's clear that Johnny's is a mom & pop store,…read moregiven that the people serving you appear to be a family. I love that aspect of this place, as usually they really care about their reputation and the quality of their products. And in this case, I was right. I ordered 6 donuts. Some old fashioned, apple fritter, cream filled, etc. they gave me extras for some reason, and I can't really complain about that at all, but even if they didn't, they checked all the boxes. The donuts were such good quality. I'd put them over other major chains just because of their attention to detail on the yumminess of each donut. And when I walked in to this spot, they were attentive within 30 sec and ensured I got the help I needed. In the pictures, you can clearly see all of the donuts on display - massive and delicious, with the ambiance of the store being narrow yet clean, not too cluttered, and very easy to order. Will definitely be back.

I've been wanting to try this place, and I finally have. I got a raspberry jelly filled donut, a…read moreglazed, a chocolate custard filled, a chocolate round (yeast), a maple bacon round, a maple white cake, and a chocolate cake with peanuts (and two donut holes were thrown in for free). The ones I liked the most were the raspberry jelly filled, the glazed, and both the maple bacon and chocolate round donuts. While they are all super soft and fluffy inside, the glazed seemed to be moreso. I was also surprised by the raspberry jelly -- it actually tasted like real raspberries, and there are seeds in it as well, so I'm assuming there are real raspberries in it. It was tart and sweet, and so unexpected. I would get that one again for sure. The chocolate and maple glazed are both very tasty. The chocolate is very chocolatey and actually tastes good (unlike some other places), and the maple has a solid maple flavor. The ones I didn't like were both the cake donuts, and the custard filled. The donut and chocolate part of the custard donut tasted good, but the custard is awful -- it has some strange taste, almost like a minty chemical taste, but not a good mint either, and why does it have such a flavor, anyways? It tastes artificial, and I wish they could make a real custard -- that would be amazing in this donut! Both the cake donuts had some strange, artificial taste in them as well. If they could get rid of the artificial taste, and make a cake donut without it, that would be stellar! I wouldn't purchase any of these again, as they currently are. They seem to shine at making their yeast donuts, not the cake ones, and the raspberry filled is worth getting, while the custard is not (unless you like artificial/chemical tastes). The man behind the counter was very friendly, and he had a good energy. **Edit after posting -- Upon further taste testing of the custard, it reminds me of Pepto Bismol, with a hint of vanilla. So if you think you might enjoy that flavor combination, you would like this donut.

Best donuts in the area hands down. Taste and texture are the best. I have tried ALL the donut…read morespots in the area and their chocolate old fashioned and apple fritters are top tier. If you think i'm wrong then give them a try. The apple fritters are cooked consistently well and have tons of apple flavor and not too oily and burnt like others Ive tried in the area. The chocolate old fashioned tastes like an old fashioned should taste like and has crispy outside and soft moist inside not to mention great tasting chocolate coating thats not plastic tasting like others. The only problem is getting them before they sell out! The service is great! Friendly staff and accommodative. This has the ambiance of a small donut shop and doesn't have the best parking, but don't let that fool you. Definition of a hidden gem. Please give them more business!

Black coffee pour over was like heaven on earth. Freshly roasted. The veggie omelet was also very good. It's served in a paper cup and isn't very big. Piping hot and good. Seating is limited and outdoors. It's on a busy road so not too relaxing. Kind of a bummer. There are no prices on the menu. First place I've ever been to like that. They just tell you what you owe. (We think a cup of coffee is about $5. Worth it) Anyway definitely go if you're in the area. PS the employees were super friendly on our three visits.

The barista is still yelling at the paying customers. I was yelled at last week. Maybe the barista needs to get own hearing check and may need a hearing aid? The owner could try purchase a roll of sticky grey 3 inch wide tape that is so sticky it will stay in place until the tape is removed as a form of behavior modification. The barista was incredibly rude and quite nasty tempered. I was polite. I wasn't screaming at the barista there at all. I would encourage every patron start the day off teaching the barista a lesson that may change the barista into be a little more appropriate. The barista is to experience a 6 month restriction or the owner to fire the barista outright. The best way, place the barista on restriction and restrict the tips to one copper penny and not any other money, coins or dollars to be the tip. From now on the only tip paid to the barista is just 1 copper penny. The ambiance needs working on inside barrelista coffee house.
