Have come here a few times as a treat for having to visit my doctor at Kaiser and every time the staff were friendly and helpful. Their donuts are delicious and very fresh and they always throw in a few donut holes for me to nibble on as I'm driving home. So if you're in the area or are leaving Kaiser and need a treat give them a try. Also their ham and cheese croissants are the bomb ! read more

The service is always outstanding and the quality of their donuts are the finest in town. This has been my family's go to donut shop for so many years I can't remember how long! It's a cute little corner shop with plenty of parking. Family owned and run, thanks for such a great experience. read more

Donuts are good, depending on which one and probably what time you come. I'm saying this because I've been here plenty of times in the morning and never had complaints. But when I went today a little later in the day, the donuts were not tender at all. But they do have a very good ham,cheese and jalapeños crossaint. The ham cheese and jalapeños were baked inside the crossaint. read more

I won't be coming back, I like businesses with integrity. I got 8 donuts regular and old fashioned which are $1.35/each.. however I was charged $1.85/each as if they were bars, twists, & jelly filled. That's a $4 difference. I wasn't going to make a fuss about it, but be careful that they don't over charge you. $15 for 8 donuts? Ridiculous if you ask me. read more

Tender Donuts - a hand holding a box of doughnuts - Donuts Near Me - Stockton, California

I've been coming to Tender Donuts since the late 90's, and have always been happy with their donuts. I remember buying a few dozen donuts in high school for teacher appreciation day and everyone was pleased! Glad they're still around making north Stockton residents happy. read more

These donuts truly do live up to their name. They are so soft and tender, melt in your mouth! My mom gets a box every week. They always greet us when we come in, very nice people. The establishment is well taken care of. I wish this place was closer to my house but definitely don't mind the drive from Weston Ranch to Hammer Ln. read more

Wtf is this place?!?! THE DONUTS ARE SO FREAKIN SOFT AND SQUISHY!!! I was craving donuts and just went here on a whim and was blown away. I have also tried other local donut shops but their donut gets stale throughout the day. Tender Donut stays tender even by tomorrow!! It's crazy!! Anyways, biggest issue is that the place is hella hot during the summer and has poor ventilation when I just wanna enjoy my donut there. Also, I think donut are made in the morning and that's it because they run out fast by noon.. read more

Tender donut is the perfect name. I have only had two donuts here so far but they were the softest, yummiest donuts I've had in years. read more

Tender Donuts - Maple round - Donuts Near Me - Stockton, California

Caution! As I'm walking in the shop door today I watched one of the women behind the counter drop a donut on the floor and pick it back up and place it on a tray with other donuts on it. She obviously didn't think I saw it. As I was paying for my donuts the other morning there were two women behind the counter coughing and sneezing without any thought about covering there faces or turning away. I will never go in there again it's not very sanitary. read more

Strayed from my usual shop as my daughter had appointment at Kaiser. This shop is very handy if you need to hang out while someone has an appointment. Shop is clean with nice tables and well lit. Donut case was briming with very nice pastries and donuts. Coffee good and hot. Will visit again if out this way! read more

Stopped in to kill some time while my vehicle was having work done across the street. Located amongst the strip mall, there's nothing extravagant about the outside appearance of this donut shop. It's a small place few just a few small tables inside. Being small, the selection case is also a bit limited. But that's not to imply that there were just a few different donuts to choose from...there was a good selection. I love a good, filled donut and went with a classic raspberry filled donut (dusted). Now most of the donuts were of pretty standard size. But my raspberry filled was the biggest I've ever had! I wonder if these are how they make them here or did I just happen to catch a good day. Regardless, my donut was tasty, well filled and for $1.50, it was well worth it! I believe there was a TV monitor inside. Nothing rude or exceptional about the staff. Obviously, there's plenty of parking. No objections to getting another donut here again in the future. read more

Probably my favorite donut place in Stockton, but they sometimes run out of donuts in the afternoon, like lots of donut places, so try and get there early! read more

They are always so friendly and welcoming. The donuts are very delicious and have a wide variety, only when you wake up early. The texture of their donuts are pretty soft and crunchy. Also convenient near by. read more

Tender Donuts - Raspberry filled. Maples. Chocolate. Old fashioned. Donut holes. - Donuts Near Me - Stockton, California

We walked in without being greeted so I decided to greet the lady with a smile and hello, along with questions I had . The women's responses weren't a hello, a smile, or even answers to my questions . Instead, she just laughed. It wasn't your typical ha-ha it was a villainous, mean, evil laugh. That should've been a sign to walk out . You're basically giving me a sign something evil will happen if I eat your 50% off donuts . We were only going to get two of the maple donuts that were left but, she yelled " take all $3!" Uhmm.. Ok, sounds like a fair deal so, why not ? Two chocolate donuts, two maple donuts , 4 powdered sugar donut holes, and one pineapple turnover . I had planned to eat just one donut and give the rest to family members but, both my bf and I got sick after eating their donuts . Yeah, don't think we will be back as this place did not love me tender with their donuts . read more

My mom has been going there for years and the donuts are delicious! The owner who is an older lady is super sweet!!! Today she was not there and a lady with glasses and young man were working. He got the order wrong and was extremely rude to my elderly mother!!! What a shame - I called and asked for the owner but the lady was still trying to argue with me. TERRIBLE SERVICE!!!!!! read more

I was in this place and my wife and I noticed that the staff member sat down down to take a break pulled her shoe off rubbed her foot and then got up to serve customers without washing her hands or putting serving gloves on that's not very sanitary if you ask me, we felt disgusted. We will never go there again. read more

The food is great and must be consistent. We watched 5 people come in that were obviously locals because the staff knew what the person wanted before they said anything. One of the best old fashions I've ever eaten. read more

Wish I had read the reviews first. The doughnuts were ok. The price is not. I feel scammed. $2.76 per doughnut? ! Must not be a favorite. Won't be coming back. read more

Horrible donuts they were dry and hard in the morning you would think they would be fresh. She overcharged me. Cake donuts were 1.45. I got 4 and my total was 7.80. I definitely do not trust them and will not be going back. read more

Very delicious donuts. Very tasteful with great flavor and very filling. Great customer service, went in today and greeted us with a friendly smile and positive attitude. Would definitely recommend getting your donuts here. read more

Tender Donuts - Glazed twists. Maple bars. Sprinkles. Sugar - Donuts Near Me - Stockton, California

Great place to stop for coffee and donuts. Located behind Eddie's Pizza on the s/w corner of Hammer and West Lane. My favorites are the bacon maple bars and the apple fritters! I could eat those everyday. :) After 4:30 p.m. they clear out donuts at half-price! You won't have the great selection that you have earlier in the day but hey, the price is right. They supply donuts to shops and convenience stores all the way to Tracy! read more

Contacted them to supply 12 dozen donut holes for my graduation party and they were a hit! They were the first to go on my dessert table. So soft and fluffy! They got their donut recipe down to a science because it is consistent every time I come here. I even got to choose different varieties too! Powdered, glazed, crumble, cinnamon sugar. Best donuts ever! read more

Meh... it's okay, but it has problems. The people are nice and the place is moderately clean, and their doughnuts are decent, so they're not terrible. But man, there's several issues for them to overcome. First off, their Thai Tea is horrible! Barely any cream, the tea itself tastes awful, and when I tasted mine, it actually made me a little sick. Maybe I just had a bad batch, but... blech! I also had their ham and cheese croissant, which had a single slice of ham and American cheese, and when I ordered it hot, it came to me luke-warm. Maybe people like that, but not me. And finally, I got their open-face jelly doughnut, which was okay, but... sigh... okay, if you're going to package an open-face jelly doughnut to go, you put it into a box or at least on the bottom of a fairly large bag by itself, right? They put it into a tiny bag on its side, which dumped half the filling out into the bag and smeared it all over the side of the bag. The filling wasn't jelly, either... it was some sort of flavored gel, which was kind of like eating thick slime. The rest of the doughnut was pretty good, though, so maybe I just need to stay away from the jelly doughnuts. It could be that I just ordered all the wrong things and I just had a bad first-time experience. But I don't think I'll be going back. It was just not a good experience at all. read more

The best. Donuts in town. The best they have I the buttermilk glazed bar. Great selection best in Stockton.

Amazing. The name says it all, these donuts are very tender and fresh. I brought two boxes to work and everyone wanted to know where they were from. I highly recommend this place. So far best I have had in town. The place is on the corner of west lane and hammer lane. read more

Tender Donuts - two boxes filled with donuts - Donuts Near Me - Stockton, California

Only a 5 minute drive from my house, my family's choice of donut shops has been Tender Donuts for over a decade. I have vivid childhood memories of my oldest sister bringing home discounted donuts after 4:30pm and that would just make my day. Sometimes towards the end of the day after 4:30pm, the lady behind the counter may throw in a few extra ones on the house. Give this place a try if you haven't yet ! You will not regret it ! read more

I came to buy some donuts and while one of the employees was putting them in the bag she dropped one on the floor and still gave it to me?? Why would you give a customer a dirty donut? Like she didn't even throw it away she just gave it to me after it touched THE FLOOR! read more

Been going to this place for 5 years great service by all staff and donuts are tender and fluffier than any other donuts I've had thanks

It's a doughnut shop with coffee and other pastries. Better than KKD across the street and closer to the jobplace. I'd rather support the local businessman anyway. You should too!!! 50 cent surcharge for card purchases under $10. read more

Excellent name for a donut shop. They practice what they preach. Tender Donuts has always been my go to donut shop here in Stockton. Waking up early and going to this place to pick up the freshest donut before heading off for the day to run my errands. A small donut shop placed right next to your good ole "Eddie's Pizza." I've been coming back to Tender donuts for years and their donuts have always been consistently made. Never too sweet (from chocolate to maple to glazed) and never tough to bite on. Always go as early as possible to get the freshest batch they have to offer and a fresh cup of Joe with it. or at least before the Stockton PD gets there. The service has always been pristine. swift and on time, especially when you order multiple boxes of donuts to go. I prefer this place over the Krispy Kreme located across the street simply because every time I have one of their donuts, I get this tingling sensation coming from my teeth and gums telling me I'm about to have a sugar overload and will be paying for it later at the Dentist office. Tender Donut has that balance and the classic-made donut I've grown up to enjoy. Aside from that, I'd rather support my local small mom and pop shops over any typical chain restaurant like Krispy Kreme. This is the place. Best Donuts in Stockton. Hands down. read more

This place does have fresh good donuts, when you can get them. They make all donuts fresh daily with some sitting around far longer than others. The issue here is they seem to play favorites. When they speak with a "favorite" you can't understand the words spoken. It is however very clear what was said. The lady behind the counter will put donuts back into the case and select ones behind the glass closer to the customer. When it is your turn they place the "picked over" donuts into your bag or box. Should you say something you are told they are "fresh" and "made today". Still looking for a place where everyone is a favorite. read more

Best donuts in miles. Always so fresh and tasty. Every time I get donuts for others they ask where in the world I got them from so they can get more. Plus side: they are very sweet people. My go-to donut shop!! read more
