The well cared for tables with attached seats, the sweet smell, the glass case, the bags of fresh donut holes on the counter, the nods from the regulars having their daily coffee, Alex's "hello" and soft smile as he walks around the corner from the kitchen...same as they ever were. This has got to be the most consistent business ran by a single person that I have seen in my life. The work ethic of this man is unrivaled, and I practically have to run out the door to get him to keep a tip. As Alex gets older, I get saddened to think about the day that this spot may no longer be here....when that day comes, there will be a hole in the heart of this town. Favorites are glazed raised, glazed twist, apple fritter, and the glazed buttermilk bar.

Absolute perfection, crispy on the outside with that caramelized, slightly charred sugar, and packed with soft apple pieces inside. The texture balance was unreal: crunchy edges with a soft, sweet center. The ube donut was good too, definitely on the sweeter side. If you love sweet treats, you'll enjoy it, but I personally wished the ube flavor came through a bit more to balance it out. The blueberry donut was another standout. Super soft and muffin-like with plenty of blueberry flavor throughout, plus a nice outer layer for texture. Honestly way better than a typical chain version. Donut holes were solid as well, simple, fresh, and satisfying. Overall, everything tasted fresh and high quality. Service was fast, and the baker was super friendly, hooked it up with extra donuts, which made the experience even better. The vibe was welcoming, and it's definitely a spot worth checking out. I'll be back for sure.

I have tried this donut spot a few times over the years since moving to Gilroy. The first few times…read morewere a bit more than 'ok'. I kept hoping they would improve or I just went on a bad day etc. This hope for improvement has not paid off ... each trip has progressively become more disappointing. Please keep in mind I have made it a strange goal in past 20 or so years to try a donut from every city I've spent time in (hundreds) The best I've ever had was at this little shop that had to shut down because the owner passed unexpectedly (he was such a sweet man and the whole family was just sweet), and Gibson's donuts in Memphis, TN (I was so fortunate to live near this place for many years). All this to say I'm supper picky about donuts. The quality and flavors in the donuts at Gilroy donuts have only declined .. not improved. The apple fritters are oily and inedible, the method of 'filling' a donut appears to be slicing them in half (such a lazy way of filling a donut) and treating it like a sandwich (making eating it weird as the top 'donut bun' slides around and the filling plops out.... That is NOT a filled donut), the glaze has a strange offputting taste that's very evident when eating just the 'glazed' donut, the filled bars are often slightly wet and soggy on the outside making for an unpleasant eating experience. The texture of the donut 'dough' itself often feels dry and not soft tender and pillowy like you want a donut to be. Almost as of the donors themselves are stale day old before filling and glazing. When I came here the first few times (for context, I've only bern here once or twice a year in the past five and a half years) the folks manning the counter were very nice and friendly even when on my first visit I did not realize it was cash only. However, the last two or three times in the past couple of years I've been in they were impatient and almost rude. It's a cute little hole in the wall 'typical' donut shop vibe. The donuts are inexpensive and sweet. The display is appealing as most donut displays are... every kid will love it. It is the only donut shop currently in Gilroy and I hope they step up their Game because I hear rumors that another shop is moving into town soon. I am all about supporting local businesses but I'm not sure I can in this instance. I may give them one more try next year. I'm not hopeful.

The main thing I enjoy about this particular donut is that the custard is filled all the way through. A competitor in town (and a really good one) tends to not fill the custard entirely through the center of the donut bar. The only reason for the docked star was from the inconsistent customer service. The first time I went here, the lady helping us was super nice and engaging vs. the second time, there were two women that spoke to one another in their native tongue and I felt like I was interrupting them each time I had a question. This is not the kind of service anyone should get when they're a paying customer too. I'm hoping that was a one-off because their donuts are worth getting!

They made the donuts to order, but only took a few minutes. The normal glazed donut was crispy, chewy, and soft on the inside! The chocolate one had a really thick coating of cocoa powder though, which was a little messy and changed the texture. Would definitely recommend if you're fine with splurging $5 on a donut.

When you sit at the high-tops, you can watch the employees make the donuts fresh with every order. It looks like they have seasonal flavors as well. I ordered the chocolate and glazed. The texture isn't as light as donuts usually are, but not as dense as one of those cake-batter donuts. It reminds me of a bread-like structure... almost as if you made sourdough donuts? The price for the donuts are on the higher-end side, but worth it for a nice sweet treat and especially after a heavy meal. Also had an iced mocha and it was not too bad either.
