The donuts here are absolutely amazing and some of the best I've had. I've been a loyal customer since the previous owner, and the quality of the donuts is the reason I continue coming back. Unfortunately, the customer service has been consistently disappointing. This isn't based on one bad experience--the cashier is rude and unfriendly every single time I visit. As a regular customer, it's discouraging to be greeted with the same cold attitude every visit. A simple smile, greeting, or friendly attitude would make a huge difference. If the customer service matched the quality of the donuts, this would easily be a 5-star review. Great food deserves great customer service, and right now the two just don't match. read more

Solid donut shop! We were in the area for a softball game and wanted to get the team some donuts before the game. Stumbled upon World's Fare Donuts and knew it was the spot to be at as soon as we walked in, saw a long line, every table was taken with people enjoying coffee, donuts and doing their lotto scratchers. Line moved quickly, but you definitely felt the pressure to know what you wanted when it was your turn. Prices are a bit cheaper than most donut shops in the bay area. While we only tried a Maple Bar, Raised Crumb and 3 dozen donut holes (under $10), I wanted to try so many of the other flavors. The Maple bar wasn't your traditional light brown color, it was more yellow which threw us off. The raised crumb had more flavor than other places that I've tried. Great consistency and fluff in the donuts. It appears they have a lot of self serve coffee options and a full wall of lotto scratchers. My in-laws would love it here since this is their thing. read more

One of my co-workers recommended this place and I had tried their plain glazed donut and kid you not it was Amazing!!! So I had to drive Sunday morning ,35 miles away from my home to order the donuts and share them with my loved ones . Long queue for a Sunday, and it's a hit with the locals with lines out of the door. Service wise enough people were at the counter and quickly put my order together. The donuts are bigger than your regular size and aside from donuts and other pastries they do offer different breakfast croissants and various brews of coffee as well. Had to wait like 10 mins till I reached the counter for placements of donuts . read more

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. read more

I tried your donuts for the first time today at a birthday party, and I can honestly say they were some of the best I've had in a long time. They were fresh, flavorful, and absolutely amazing. I'll definitely be back for more! read more

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. read more

World's Fare Donuts - Why is the glaze yellow? - Donuts Near Me - Hayward, California

I found out about World's Fare donuts from Instagram reels. They popped up a few times on social media where people were touting them as "best donuts in the Bay." I love donuts so I knew I had to check them out. I stopped by here on a Saturday around 12pm and it was pretty busy with a short line. I ordered a bunch of different donuts and an apple fritter. The apple fritter is gigantic. I think you can easily share it with 4 people. Their donuts are pretty big too since they are so dense. I feel like they are really two donuts given how big they are. While this place is good, I don't consider them the best donuts in the Bay because they are pretty heavy. The vibe is also different here when compared to other donut shops. It seems like there are lots of regulars who just hang out here, drinking their coffee and buying their Lottery tickets and scratchers. read more

Absolutely the best donuts around. I have been coming here since 1985. Small shop with big flavors and donuts. The customer service is great. Everyone is so nice. It feels like a great small community. Lots of people know each other. Lots of laughs and conversations going on inside. The donuts are 5 stars for sure. Large size. Incredible flavor. The dough is a perfect mix of crunchy on the outside and fluffy and melts in your mouth on the inside. This is the premier donut shop to go to. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

So sad to see that this place has gone from offering some of the best donuts in the rare to absolutely average donuts. Back in the 90's this was the go to destination for luxury donuts. Their maple bars were out of this world. Now they are just slightly better than 7-11. read more

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. read more

If bigger U.S. better the this is the place for donuts. A bonus is that they're reasonably priced. Two excellent reasons to patronize this place. They were fairly busy when I arrived.

All the women are welcoming, they are quick and the donuts are fresh + huge! Best donuts in the Hayward area.

This has to be the best donuts in the world! Especially the APPLE FRITTER! I worked in Hayward for over 23 years and this was our go to donut store! I have literally traveled the world and have never tasted a better donut! Also, the customer service is amazing! I also ordered a huge donut cake for my son's 18th bday!! Amazing!! read more

World's Fare Donuts - Huge Donut!! Amazing! - Donuts Near Me - Hayward, California

Traveling through and have heard about this place had to stop. The cake donut is easily a top five for me. The chocolate raised donut is the epitome of what a pillowy donut should be. The chocolate is a perfect companion to this donut. The maple bar divided me a little. The maple was not a strong as I like but the donut was a knockout. The apple fritter while show stopping did not disappoint when it came to taste. Make sure you have brought a friend to share it with. Will be back for sure anytime I am in the area. read more

Amazing doughnut they are huge! This is my go to spot in Hayward. They also sell lotto!

Their regular doughnuts donuts are fluffy and delicious. What we were here for was for their doughnut cake. But the doughnut cake isn't the same. It's way way too doughy that cutting into it, I knew it isn't going to be good. It's literally dense dough that at the end we only ate at most 1/3 and would never get this again. It sure was a novelty to have such a large doughnut, but once and it's enough. I think if the doughnut cake was made more like a regular doughnut that was more airy, it would have been better and more would have been consumed. read more

Best doughnuts hands down. No other doughnut shop compares to worlds fare. Sandwich are also incredibly.

Now I RARELY give under 3-star reviews. I've just been very fortunate to have good experiences until today! BACKGROUND: went in Sunday morning to place an order for a large donut ($30) for a retirement party. Provided date/time: Tuesday, 6/27 at 630am (to allow for any delay), phone number and sprinkles to be used. I made sure to allow for some wiggle room as when I ordered prior (about 7 yrs ago) they were late as well. Nice lady: Told we'll have it ready for you when you arrive sitting on the counter so you don't have to wait TODAY, Tuesday, 6/27 6:45 - No box on the counter so waiting to be helped. There was about 5 other customers ahead of me 6:55 - nice lady assisted but looked confused (not a good sign) and went to the owner who looks at me (*sigh*) then walks to the back 7:00 - male owner walks to the counter where I'm standing and told "it's not ready...it's made in back but it MAY BE ready in an hour" The "may be" did not instill any confidence whatsoever. Decided to ask for a refund as that doesn't do me any good if I need to head into work. Sure if I was hanging in the area not an issue. TO THE OWNERS: * If you can't accommodate an order at a specific time frame, let your customers know. It's not an issue. * if things are running late, let your customers know as you ask for a phone number for a reason! Bottom line: It's about communication. Plain and simple CUSTOMERS: Be sure you call the day before (end of day) or an hour before pickup to ensure it will be ready. That way if your order can't be accommodated you can find a backup plan I'm definitely not deterring people from visiting as World's Fare Donuts makes decent donuts. This review is to provide feedback to the owners of World's Fare Donuts and to give some tips to customers who plan on ordering a large donut for an occasion They just need to work on communicating and adhering to a time the customer requests for pickup. #annoyed read more
