This place actually lives up to its name! This is my second experience with Great Donuts, and I can happily report that the cake donuts are light, fluffy, and moist without feeling dense; the yeast donuts are equally delicious and fresh. Staff are friendly and real, and they have a section off to the side to stay and eat your goods. In addition to pastries and coffee, they also serve egg dishes and sandwiches and are open till 4 or 5 pm...perhaps Vallejo has an undiscovered cafe-like setting here? Prices can appear to be on the steeper side, starting at $0.80 for your basic donut and going up to a bit over a buck for the specialty ones, but the specialty donuts are almost 2x the size of a normal one. Plus, I'd pay an extra $0.30 to have a delicious, satisfying donut over a crappy Dunkin Donut any day... read more

The best donuts around?!?! Maybe, if you like your donuts deep fried in bio-diesel fuel. I seriously spit mine out. I ordered bacon and eggs. It came with potatoes fried in the same bio-diesel fuel that the donuts were fried in. Rancid and disgusting. Eggs? Blech, no flavor. Bacon? Overcooked in the microwave. I really was ill after eating here. And that's after only about two bites, which was all I could force myself to put in my mouth. If it was an off day, it was as far off as you can get. read more

My absolute favorite breakfast place in Vallejo. My partner and I get the ham egg and cheese on a cheese bagel and the breakfast burrito with jalapeños and no meat- they're amazing every time. Freshly made and delicious. There can be a bit of a wait but it's always worth it and there's plenty of places to sit while you wait. The donuts are also delicious, they have a great selection and those are also always fresh. Would definitely recommend! Sorry no pics- ate it too fast!!! read more

I stopped here because Royal Jelly Donuts is still moving into their new location and haven't opened yet. While the people are very nice and the prices are more than reasonable, the donuts were just unacceptable. The previous review about them tasting like they were fried in bio-diesel fuel is MORE than accurate. I bought a dozen for me and my family and not even my 6 year old niece wanted to finish hers--that's how awful they are. And if anyone is wondering WHY the donuts would taste that way--It is DIRTY oil that gives a donut that taste. ALL of the donuts in my dozen tasted this way. Best donuts in town? Helllllll no. read more

This place is just okay. Nothing really to rave about. I've had the veggie pasty and it's nothing to write home about. It was soggy and limp. I was expecting crisp and flaky. The raspberry jelly donut was too tart and I personally don't like seeded jelly. So that was a bust. I decided to give this place another try today and ordered a breakfast croissant with egg, tomato and cheese. I was disappointed when it was brought to my table limp and flattened. Croissant sandwiches are normally flaky and warm. This one was cold, limp and sad. They use those terrible processed Kraft singles. I took one bite and wrapped it up. $5.50 is a bit pricey to boot. Sad to say, but I won't be coming back. read more

Vallejo Great Donuts - Breakfast croissant - Donuts Near Me - Vallejo, California

See all

So, let me tell you how I found this shop AFTER going to both Royal Jelly Donut locations and was told they didn't accept debit. I'm not really sure who STILL only accepts cash, being that we live in a digital age ((rolls eyes)) but i digress. I walked in and seen an array of donuts, and although I was a little skeptical... I'm SO glad I tried them! These donuts are AMAZING!!! They're soft, chewy and have a slight crunch from the well balanced (sweet and slightly salted) glaze. I hate Glazed donuts that are super sweet and have zero salt added, because if you bake you know that you need salt to bring out the sugar. Their donut batter is perfectly balanced! I found my new shop! This is where I'll be going from now on. I can't remember the young mans name at the register, with the dope Mohawk... but his customer service was on point! I highly recommend this hidden gem. They also offer an array of breakfast items, so try them out as well. read more

Great donuts, fresh, and not too sweet! I'm looking forward to returning and checking out the sausage rolls, curry pasties, and other breakfast food. Everything looked really good, and there's actually non-street parking! read more

BEST donuts we have ever had! Fresh, moist, large amazing ... trust us go have 1 or more

The owners are so pleasant. The donuts are yummy, and you can tell they are baked fresh daily. I love the sausage rolls and meat pies they have. Quite literally a mom and pop joint, no frills, small business, that is totally worth supporting. read more

My first time in the shop yesterday. It was super dingy and no employees in sight and I should have known to just walk right back out. The donuts looked 2 or 3 days old but I still picked one out and paid for it. I then asked to wash my hands which the lady agreed to and from the sink came DOZENS of nasty flies swarming all around my head! I was so disgusted I just walked out without saying a word and threw the donut in the trash. This shop is filthy and a real health hazard. I hoped to call the city of Vallejo today but was unable to find a number. Very bad experience. read more

The donuts are so amazing and great as their title claims. I got some chocolate donuts and it was delicious! A bit crunchy on the outside but super fluffy on the inside, just the way I love it. The person who helped me was so sweet and kind and I will definitely go back when I can! read more

Stopped in here with a friend and was happy for what it was, coffee & donuts. It's in a slightly bad neighborhood and there was a guy that was acting strangely and talking to himself at another table. That being said, the lady behind the counter was more than nice, & heated up my friend a tasty meat pie. He didn't rave about it, but said it hit the spot. Dug the wide variety of warm, fresh tasting donuts to choose from. Picked out a custard filled glazed that made the taste buds say, " More please." Aaaand I did have one more, and one more cup of coffee with a smile from our jovial host. People do make a difference, even in questionable environments. read more

Really wanted some donuts, and my BF suggested this place. He always told me that Vallejo is full of really nice folk, and he was spot on! The service was amazing, the donuts were great! I really, really hope I'll be able to make it back here soon for more delicious donuts! read more

The texture of the donuts are great. They have a slight crispiness but once you get past the crispy bite, the smell of rancid oil fills up your mouth and nostrils. I don't think I can recommend this place.. Maybe it was a bad day? But what sucks is I spent over $20 at this place through doordash and now i have about a dozen donuts going to waste :/ read more

Come for the donuts, stay for the meat pies; this not so out of the way place needs to be more active - between good breakfasts, well made donuts, and the meat pie that makes me realize that life is a wonderful thing worth living, this place should be WAY crazier than it is when I go in. Give it a shot! Especially the meat pies. Do it. read more

I just found this place this morning while searching for bagels. I swear nobody sells bagels in Vallejo so I was happy to hear this place made their own. The gentleman at the counter was really nice and polite and I ended up getting an Asiago bagel with cream cheese, a half dozen of donut holes, a coffee, and a sausage roll all for under $7. My son and I sat down to eat and everything was nice and clean. I think this will definitely be my new go to spot when the family wants donuts because personally I don't really like donuts that much and this place has other savory options. read more

Great meat pies, pasties, sausage rolls and good donuts! Next time I'm getting multiples!

Possibly the best donuts in Vallejo. The maple old-fashioned are a must.

I am so impressed with this place. The people are kind and helpful and the food is good and very, very reasonably priced. They have Aussie Meat Pies, sandwiches for under 5 dollars, and incredible high quality donuts. Support this business. read more

Although I love their donuts, I have to say, hands down, they make the best Australian meat pies. Even better than some I've had in Australia. I remember telling myself, I'm tired of fast food breakfast and wished there was a place that had meat pies like Australia. A couple days latter I drove by Great Donuts and saw a sign, Meat Pies & Sausage rolls. Well I stopped and tried one. Now I stop 2 or 3 times a week. read more

This is a real mom and pops joint. I came in to stop by for some basic breakfast and it was cheap under 5 bucks. I know their donuts are probably great as their place say haha. Not much I can say is that it's a legit spot. read more

The BEST doughnuts around! My favorite - plain cake w/ white frosting and coconut!!!! Yum yum yum. They are moist and delicious. I didn't think the old Winchell's doughnuts could be topped, but these are better. read more

I love it there, just a 4 min walk from my house. Excellent breakfast & a nice environment.

Great place for donuts. This is one of the few places I can go to to get the perfect old fashioned donut. Fluffy, moist and crispy on the inside. The service is always good whenever I go and they take credit cards...quite a few donut shops in Vallejo are cash only and it's a pain in the neck when you're hungry and don't have cash. Anyways...it's a great donut and I really like them. read more

Honestly my favorite place to come and grab lunch! Besides the owner who herself who works there everyday, she has such a great personality, and the food comes out really good. I recommend Vallejo great donuts to anybody that's around in town. read more

Ordered from these guys through Doordash. We ordered some cake donuts, expecting some random cake donuts with glaze on them or something. They sent plain dry cake donuts (I guess we got what we ordered =/ ). This is not the first time we've ordered from them, most donuts we get from here are terrible. Also ordered a sandwich from them. When the sandwich arrived it just looked like a sandwich I could have made at home in my kitchen. I want to support small businesses but I don't think I'm going to order from these guys again. Also just for spite (because honestly they knew the kind of garbage they threw in the bag to send out for delivery) I'm going to add, that if you want better tasting donuts go to Royal Jelly Donuts here in Vallejo, they have two locations and they have excellent donuts, way better than these guys! read more

Do you think the phrase "clean eating" is a meaningless buzzword? Do you think the gluten-free fad is an exercise in absurdity that would make Albert Camus proud? Do you like donuts? Then you've come to the right place, because at Vallejo Great Donuts you can get delicious, sugary donuts on the cheap. Mommy and I were looking for a Dunkin' Donuts, because I have never been there and I realized that I hadn't had a donut in months. We couldn't find one in the maze that is downtown Vallejo, but we found this place instead and were not disappointed. It's cheap, it's tasty, the coffee was surprisingly good (I drink it black, so I'm picky), and we supported a local business, which is apparently better than supporting a publicly-traded corporation. The restaurant is kind of a funky hole-in-the-wall, but they've got a huge variety of donuts, drinks, and other delights. I'll definitely visit again. read more

Vallejo Great Donuts - HAM EGG AND CHEESE CRISONT.. FAT! - Donuts Near Me - Vallejo, California

My favorite breakfast spot in Vallejo. Amazing breakfast. Clean and tidy. A nice quite place to enjoy your breakfast/brunch. Highly recommend over fast food. read more

Visiting various sites for work around The Bay Area, I have to know local spots to purchase breakfast goodies and always prefer to support local. Being born and raised in Vallejo, I know we have our long-time local favorites; but I'm adding a new one to the rotation - Vallejo Great Donuts. I called in a fairly big order of breakfast sandwiches and they were able to accommodate my order and extra requests that I had. I will definitely be back to try the donuts and bagels, meat pies, and full breakfast menu. read more

When I lived in Vallejo, I used to come in here regularly. I love this spot. Great prices, great food, friendly local Mom & Pop business. The other day a friend told me they had Aussie meat pies. I lived in Oz for a year and they were the best snack/meal around. Best bang for buck. Had to come in today and try the pies. Excellent! Had a beef and onion pie and sausage roll. Took me back to the land of Kangaroos and Mick Dundee. If you want great food at great prices whilst supporting a small local business, give it a try! These pies hit the spot! read more

Best donuts in town used to come by in the mornings when I worked on Mare Island. Always fresh!

Very sad. They have such a good niche' with the sausage rolls, but the business is o poorly run it is sad. One day you can use a debit card, the next you cannot because the person with the, "square" is not there. Of course there is no ATM either. The sausage rolls are awesome and remind me of the UK, but there is zero consistency on the time that they are available. If you are an early riser, forget it. Reaaly a shame. read more

I use to come here every morning for my junior and senior year of high school. I'd get a cinnamon roll and my dad a chocolate buttermilk bar. These donuts are hands down the best donuts ever. It got to the point I'd buy sometimes 3 cinnamon rolls because EVERYONE at school wanted one or at least some. The lady here is the sweetest, I came in her with my mom after graduating, her face lit up! And she remembered my order. She seemed so happy to see me and it made the donuts taste even better that day. The breakfast here always smells and looks so good. My dad had some and said it was the best. It's a cute quiet place with cute owners and yummy donuts. I won't get donuts anywhere else in vallejo besides here. read more

Awesome spot. I love this place! Their croissants are definitely the best around. I'll be a regular here for as long as I live in Vallejo.

Been coming here for years! Love the friendless of staff. Best croissant sandwich ever with a side of potatoes :)
