Reviews With Photos - Susan's Donuts

Anna C.

Solid donuts. Nothing special, but no notes if you just want classic donut shop offerings. Went around 9AM on a Sunday and had good amount of selection.

Guava strudel
Samantha C.

Walked in with my dad just right before their closing time and the lady helping us mentioned s BOGO deal. The case still had some items like classic glazed donuts, old-fashioned donuts, cruellers, etc. We grabbed some old fashioned glazed, normal glazed, and guava strudels, all well worth the price. The donuts were tasty, but I would probably pass on the strudel next time since there wasn't much filling and it was pretty dry.

This place is a no for me unfortunately. I was super excited to try it after seeing so many good reviews. I like donuts a few times a year so I was really excited to check out this unique shop. The outside smelled funny, which I don't think it's the shop owners issue but jsut wanted to note it. The donuts tasted like old oil, hence the 3 stars. They do have a variety of donuts and flavors, but I couldn't eat them given the old oil taste. Customer service is excellent, hence I only deducted 2 stars. Perhaps it was a bad bath of donuts I tried.

Susan's Donuts is located in a small strip mall that also has Taco Bell, Pho Queen, Subways, etc. Plenty of parking available. It's a small tiny store. I only stopped in for donuts. I was charged the Fancy Dozen ($21) which personally, I didn't really get. She mixed in a chocolate bar and cinnamon twist with other classic donuts. Glazed Old Fashion - good, not too sweet, with crunchy edges. It's exactly what you would expect. The service was friendly and nice. I'll have to check them out again.

Classic, simple donuts. Taste fresh and you know what you're getting. In addition to the different kinds of donuts (old-fashioned, raised, cake, fritters), they also offer a variety of drinks and specialty sandwiches. The shop itself is definitely old and feels pretty rundown, so it's certainly not the kind of place you'd linger in.

In my opinion, Susan's Donuts are the best donuts in Santa Clara. They are good sized, flavorful and fresh. They taste the way traditional donuts should. People rave about Stan's, but I've been to Stan's several times and their selection is always very limited. Susan's always has a vast selection of fresh donuts. Glazed, sugar raised, old-fashioned, cake, jelly, twists, fritters, etc. have been all been available every time I've gone in. This is the only place around that I can reliably find cinnamon crunch donuts. They have breakfast sandwiches and coffee there too. I've never gotten anything there except donuts, but always see people ordering sandwiches. It's a small shop. Only a couple of small tables, and a bit run down, but the service is always quick, and the donuts are excellent!

Too Good to Go
S T.

One of my favorite Too Good to Go pickup places. Always feel like I get my moneys worth and most times get quite a few basic donuts which I prefer. Almost always it includes larger items like cinnamon rolls and apple fritters, and usually taste very fresh. And they are very friendly so nice to support them!

What a gem! Donuts are tasty and reasonably priced. Less sweet than Krispy Kreme but still delicious.

Finally made it here to see what the talk of the town was about Stan's donuts. Looking at them…read morethought they look like any other donut but once I sunk my teeth into it, it changed my mind. My mind was blown! They are incredibly fluffy with a nice chew like mochi donut but much softer. They are not too sweet, no milk needed. I finished all 3 in a matter of minutes. I could easily throw down a few more. I don't normally eat glazed donuts but when I come back, I'm getting a few more. Wanted custard but at noon there were none. I live on the East Side of San Jose so not sure when I'll be back. I went to T&T Supermarket, that's why I made this trip. Until we meet again, I'll be dreaming about these donuts for awhile.

I heard Stan's has the best donuts in Silicon Valley a while ago and finally made it there this…read moremorning. I'd read in the Yelp reviews that a line forms out the door in the morning, but I thought that was only on the weekends. Nope. I got there on a Thursday morning right as they opened at 6am and there was already a line. It took about 15 min. to get to the counter to place my order. Stan's makes the donuts right there in the front of the shop, so they are completely fresh. I ordered one chocolate French cruller and one chocolate crème-filled glaze. The cruller was wonderful. Airy and soft with delicious chocolate on top. Should have ordered two of those. The chocolate crème-filled was not as good. It was too crispy on the outside and had too much warm crème inside. I might have liked it better if I hadn't first eaten the perfect cruller. Stan's only takes cash, but they have an ATM machine in the shop. There is a large shared parking lot. Phone orders must be placed 24 hours in advance. I'll be back for more crullers and to try an apple fritter, which are only served on Mondays.

Ok to preface; I am easy to please and LOVE donuts. I would always go to Mitsuwa when Modo Hawaii…read morehad a "pop" up and my go-to was ALWAYS the cookies and cream donut. I am so glad they have their own shop now!!! Did you know the shop also has poke???! Yum!! I was able to meet my protein goal for the day by getting half pound of spicy tuna and ONE cookies and cream donut (hey, it was cheat day). They make their donuts FRESH AND HOT; so it will be 1000% delish.

*This review is strictly for the poke, NOT the mochi donuts. The mochi donuts are delicious*…read more Been a long time fan of MoDo Hawaii and remember their pop-up days at Mitsuwa back then. I've been seeing videos of their poke and decided to try it out. After having it two times, I would say the poke is okay. Also, they forgot to give me seaweed salad the first time I tried it. While the poke is budget friendly, you get what you pay for in quality. It's decent and filling, but quality doesn't compare to higher priced poke shops ($18-$20). The poke kind of reminded me of Basa Seafood in SF, which I wasn't a fan of, and Basa is also known for cheaper prices. MoDo only offers tuna poke and I am a salmon girly. I'm not sure if they plan to expand their selections, but if you wish to try their poke bowls, get the half n half. BTW, I believe staff should be mindful of the rice temperature. My friend visited on a BOGO day and said her bowl was super hot. By the time she arrived home, some of the poke was half-cooked. I also came on a BOGO day but did not experience this.
