    Huge glazed donut
    Erwin K.

    Key Points: - Casual East Bay Hidden Gem - Huge donuts and fritters - Very popular and busy Came here after a night shift to indulge my sweet tooth. Discovered it by looking up what was open in the early AM. Man, was I surprised to see how busy it was. I've lived in the East Bay for years and had never even heard of this place, yet it was packed by 7:30 AM on a weekend. Line out the door, but they move fast. While waiting, I chatted with a guy in front of me who's been coming here since he was a kid. Says he's 41 now and swears by their apple fritters. Yes, they're massive. Too big for me that morning, so I went with an original/plain glazed donut instead. These, two were huge, fluffy, and the inside seems to melt in your mouth. honestly one of the best donuts I've ever had. Coffee was surprisingly solid too. I usually go for single-origin pour overs, but when it comes to classic donut shop coffee, I enjoy flavors like hazelnut, which they had. Donut and coffee together, one of the greatest joys in life. Left satisfied and pleasantly surprised find his hidden gem (for me at least). Definitely planning to come back and try those fritters next time.

    Why is the glaze yellow?

    What i ordered was a glaze donut, an old fashioned donut and a crumb donut. The donuts were way too doughy. It's literally dense dough where I couldn't finish the donut. And they all had a slightly yellow tint to the donut whereas normally it's white... I did some research and it's imitation vanilla. Granted the donuts were cheap but unfortunately I'm still on the hunt for a good donut shop.

    This place is always popping! I don't care for donuts too much but I tried their breakfast sandwich and I love them! Literally they make them so hot and taste so good! I get an egg, bacon, cheese on a croissant sammy and it always hits. I appreciate how kind the staff is and the place seems relatively clean always! I highly recommend this place if you are in the area, it has quickly became a staple when I fly out of Hayward airport.

    A solid place to get your classic donuts fix - but double the size of any normal donut. These babies are DENSE and big! We got blueberry donuts (our favorite), crumb donut, peanut glazed, regular glazed (classic), maple bar (great), and the biggest apple fritter known to mankind (amazing). This place was filled with people during lunch on a weekday with a few scratching away at lottery tickets. Would return!

    My husband and I were craving good donuts. A friend recommended World's Fare Donuts. The donuts are pretty big. We ended up buying half a dozen of donuts. Overall, we will come back. They do have sandwiches and other items.

    I've been searching for a good donut spot to keep coming back to since Castrovalley donuts closed down a year or so ago.. and world's fare comes pretty close to it. Line was out the door! But it moved pretty quickly. Lots of options to choose from. These donuts are HUGE! They're really soft and fluffy. We ordered about a half dozen donuts and half dozen donut holes. I think my one complaint with the donut holes is that it tasted pretty doughy.. it wasn't light at all. The breakfast sandwich was decent.. the croissant didn't seem as buttery and flakey as it should be.. but it was bad. Can't complain about the rest of the donuts. Good sweetness and with all the fluffiness of the donut itself it made it even more delicious.

    I've been craving donuts for a while now and decided to find a good place to grab some 'real' donuts. Not Krispy Kreme or Dunkin Donuts, but big fluffily donuts that melt in your mouth. World's Fare Donuts delivered on that! They offer super-sized donuts that come in different flavors, toppings and styles. The ladies behind the counter helped us immediately. One of them boxed the donuts while the other made our sweet and delicious drinks. The pricing here is great. While inflation has made everything expensive, the donuts and drinks are priced really fairly. Good spot to come and get filled up for not a lot of money.

    Bought a little bit of everything to Tri and everything was really yummy. Tried for the first time that Ube donut and it was so good. Definitely a must service was fast. Servers were pleasant and it was such an enjoyable experience. It was my first time and they gave me donuts to try on the spot Place was super busy but very organized and clean one can tell by walking in that it is a local favorite spot --now our family's.

    For several years, I had driven by World's Fare and never ventured in. I guess it was good for my waistline that I did not because the donuts were very very good. I was impressed by the size of the glazed donut; they're at least twice the size of other donuts I've had and probably three times the size of Krispy Kreme's version (they are much better in my opinion too). The donut that I thought was even higher up on the totem pole of donutdom was their sugar donut--it was less sweet and so soft with a great texture. These donuts must be like kryptonite to Ozempic they are so tasty and filling. I was mildy disappointed there were no Boston Cream donuts to try but I'm not even sure they make them here. If they did..... The store itself was very interesting to me; I noticed so many regulars and numerous people rapidly scratching off lottery tickets. Eat donut, scratch ticket, eat donut, scratch ticket, repeat x 10. Mr. Homer Simpson would be very happy here. World Fare seems to be a hub for hedonism and dopamine hits. Personally, I feel we all could use a bit of that during these times!

    Their pretty packaging

    It's the best. Period. Why does anyone waste their time on stupid TikTok/Instagram "Asian inspired" donut shops that cost $100 a dozen when this GEM of a place exists. If you've ever worked a labor job, you know the importance of a good f*ckin coffee and donut shop. The ambiance is big city, classic shop that the crew goes to at 5:00 AM. That's all you need to know. Everything is delicious, but what are you getting? The Berliner with fresh sweet cream smashed in the middle like God intended. Their donuts are weighty, filling, sweet as all hell, and delicious. And get a coffee. It's good. There's a Bay Area obsession with Asian "not too sweet" ube/pandan/red bean whatever donuts for $$$$$. This is better. A million times better.

    Is World's Fare Donuts under new management? I feel that the dough is different and the donuts are not as they used to be?

    They do have new ownership and the new owners are trash. They want to serve the bare minimum for a higher price. Plus the dough is not the same. I stopped going there tbh. Not the same quality nor service.

    Are they still open during the Shelter In Place?

    Yes! Just came there hour ago.

    Any vegan option?

    I don't believe so. They do make smoothies

Don't waste your time unless you get there extremely early.

Immediately upon entry, you can see the huge display of neatly arranged donuts, malasadas, and pastries and they all look amazing! So many flavors to choose from that it was a little overwhelming. As others have said, the price point is around $5.50 per piece so have that in mind going in. Ordering was simple enough and servers were kind and patient. Parking is maximum 3 hours and there are some tables and chairs outside to sit and enjoy your goodies. Overall, I think I'm still going to stay loyal to Doughweime in Union City, but these malasadas do live up to the hype. Everything bagel malasada: Surprisingly really good, a light cream cheese filling with everything bagel seasoning on the outside. And the texture of the savory donut was crispy and airy. 9/10 Strawberry cream malasada: Kind of plain, would've been good with strawberry bits inside. 7/10 Biscoff cream malasada: You can taste the real Biscoff crackers in the filling. 7.5/10

When the opportunity presented itself, I came by today for the first time. The decor was mediocre but I was here for a take out order so my review will be strictly on the taste of the mochi donut itself. Mochi donut (Macha & Strawberry flavored) - 5 out of 5 They were fluffy and chewy in texture. Compared to your regular donut, it's just a different style of donut altogether. There is not actual mochi in the donut itself just a mental note. The sweetness wasn't overpowering which I liked and they're extremely fresh. Compared to the ones they offer in Osaka Marketplace, this one blows them out of the park. For any type of donuts, I general look for two things: 1. Are they fresh (if they aren't, you can generally tell from the dough being tougher if no other additives are placed in the dough) 2. The sugar toppings (If they place a heavier emphasis on sugar, I usually stay away since I'm more focused on the flavor instead) Service - 3 out of 5 The lady over the counter was a bit slow. She was on the phone when I came in and it took her about 10 minutes to finish her conversation before she was able to get to us. I think it was a phone order? It looked like she's the only person taking orders since the other workers saw us but kept on doing whatever they were doing. If you don't mind waiting a little like myself, it's a definite must try if you enjoy a chewier textured type of dough in your donuts or would just like to give a new type of donut a try. I don't usually judge too hard on the service staff in places like these since they're mostly mom and pop owned. Understand that when we come, they're just trying to do their best with what they've got is all we can ask for. Ultimately, the food takes home the win and Mochinut here did exactly that for me. They seemed to be Vietnamese owned since they sell other Vietnamese items here as well so keep that in mind. I'll definitely keep this place in mind when I'm feeling like a mochi donut again in the future!
