    Cute local donut shop with plenty of fun cereal topping donuts and the standard choices as well. The young man who helped us was friendly and donuts were fresh. They had snack options, coffee, soda and other drinks available to order. Good spot to stop at and give it a try.

    Cute donut pens and straws for sale. Love the novelty of the hand sanitizer pens!

    Post lunch donuts as a spur of the moment treat for the kids on a road trip. 1 chocolate glazed, 1 maple glazed, 1 apple fritter. I wish the Apple fritter had more apples, BUT the dough was beautifully light and crisp on the edges without too much glaze weighing it all down. The other two yeast donuts seemed light and not overly greasy. Cute counter with donut related tchotchkes for sale! Nice selection of chips for those who don't have a sweet tooth.

    Cow print donuts

    The best donuts ever!!! we ordered custom Cowprint donuts and everyone loved them. Also great service and super friendly. Would recommend and order again.

    Custom baby yoda donuts. The best costumer service! I was able to go in and tell her what I wanted. I've been stopping at this donut shop for years and I was surprised to find out they made costume donuts! I will definitely be placing another order.

    So good!!!

    Donuts are really good here. Donuts taste fresh and chewy even in the late afternoon. The strawberry turnover is good too.

What a perfect weekend fishing the beaches, and eating Hella good food, but the heart wants what it wants; there's "NO PLACE LIKE HOME." -Miss the taste of authentic Vietnamese Coffee, so there was only one thing to do: "YELP" -got on Yelp for some Vietnam Coffee recommendation and this place was recommended. I was so excited to get the "YUMMY" taste of Vietnam. -What a DISSAPPOINTMENT. The Vietnamese Coffee offered was just a froth cappuccino w/wipe cream seal in a Bobba cup. -Conclusion - "Everything seal in a Bobba Cup" must be Oriental, and they all taste the same...."Will swipe Left for Sure"....LOL ***can't really mess up fired chicken wings...got an order of Salt/Pepper wings...nothing amazing. Just edible. ***Hot Cheetos Korean corndog was pretty bad. Taste very doughy and undercook. What a waste of location and potential...

    Lots of parking. Small place with a few seats. No restroom or water available…read more No line on a late Friday afternoon. They have self service kiosks to order ok but ordered at the counter. Drinks were made super fast. Tried the mochi donuts, they were good but could be a little chewier. Tried the honeydew and the churro. Drink were good. Nothing super special. Daughter said the Yakult was not good and didn't drink it. Lots of parking available.

    Fresh and delicious, and for a very reasonable price!!! I will stop by now EVERY TIME I pass…read morethrough!!!

    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!
