Standard donut shop BUT they seem to have LOTS of selections towards closing time which is a plus! The donuts are all fresh, the giant twisted glazed ones taste as if it was from the previous day. Anyways, I definitely recommend y'all stop by and grab some donuts while you're in the area.

Owners are super nice. I usually visit this donut shop once every 2 weeks for my boys. Donuts are always fresh and soft.

I don't understand why people like this place. They are so slow especially when the owners aren't there. They don't say hi. They don't acknowledge you. Poor service price point too high for what you get. I don't recommend coming here. Go somewhere else that you can get better quality and you can save your time.

I was hosting an early work event for about 65 people and long story short -- the ball was dropped on ordering breakfast. I thought to myself, 'where could I pick up something within the next 30 minutes and be on my way to fight the merry experience of Friday morning traffic to make it on time to the event I was hosting?' I knew Dawn Donuts would save the day, and they did! I gave them a ring and told them I needed 3 boxes of assorted bagels and one box of assorted donuts. I knew some people at my event are on diets so I figured those people could split a bagel with someone -- that's why I ordered 4 dozen boxes and not 5. Anyway, when I arrived -- per usual, there was a line out the door. It's a given because this shop offers donuts of every kind, croissant sandwiches, bagels with cream cheese, coffee, smoothies, lattes, etc. It really is the ideal neighborhood shop to pick up all things sweet and savory for a quick breakfast. Considering how long the line was and with two ladies in the front running the house (and they were hustling with a great sense of urgency!) -- a young man ended up assisting me with my big phone order. He had everything boxed with 3 cream cheese spreads on the side and ready to go within 30 minutes of my putting the phone order in. He even put everything on a cart and walked me to my car so I didn't have to juggle the boxes on my own. Awesome service I must say. The total was $155 for the bagels and donuts, and I left a $25 tip. Appreciate how these guys came through for me at the 11th hour. Support locally owned small businesses!

One of the BEST raspberry jelly donuts I've had! They was so much oozing I couldn't even get my phone to take a picture. Way better than Dunkin' & Krispy Kreme! I need to go back for another. They also make breakfast sandwiches & drinks.

Great local business to support! Friendly service and delicious food at a very good price. I had the jalapeño bagel with cream cheese which was spicy, but warm and soft with the perfect amount of cream cheese. I also had a vanilla iced coffee, and this was all for under $8! I will definitely be back.

Their chai tea latte is to die for- it's sooo delicious. A little on a sweeter side, but that's totally okay for a nice little treat. I also had a jalapeño cheese bagel with cream cheese which was pretty good too! I'll definitely be back to try their other menu items.

Staff was very rude. Unacceptable behavior . Lady was humiliating me in front of other customers.

I don't know what these other Yelpers are smoking but I can tell you without a doubt that Dawns Donuts are some of the cleanest, freshest and most delicious donuts in town. Now I have been known to travel many miles for a quality donut and that may sound kind of crazy what with the plethora of donut shops in the Bay Area but I heard a man once say on the radio that "Life is Too Short" and I would just add to that and say "for sub-par donuts" and although I am not a police officer this is the mantra I live by and with new comer Dawns Donuts added to my short list of quality Bay Area donut shops I may never have to eat another crappy donut for the rest of my days. So to Dawn and crew I say Bravo!! and offer my thanks to you for the dedication to your craft and for sharing with the world your truly outstanding donuts.

If I could, I would give this restaurant negative stars. They have themselves listed on Grubhub but they don't adjust their menu or close their Grubhub store when they run out of donuts. The last three times I ordered from here I didn't get the donuts I ordered or replacements that I didn't want.

Very good

Iced Vietnamese coffee is just right amount of sweet and bitter. My go-to is jalapeño cheese bagel w/ cream cheese, but Croissant egg breakfasts sandwich is also very satisfying. Friendly and fast. Support this local small business!

My childhood donut shop that always has fresh crisp yet soft donuts in the mornings. They never fail to assist you with a friendly smile.
