Donuts were very good. Annoying they only take cash, since I never have cash on me. Was charged money from my bank and their atm to get cash out, so be prepared with cash.

Mmmm... donuts. I'll take the donuts from Golden Creme over some of the more bougie Marin options any day of the week! Their donuts are old school- no fancy options here, just tried and true classics, and they're always fresh. They're cash only, and the prices are affordable. Overall, Golden Creme is probably my favorite donut shop in Marin.

Great doughnuts! Stopped in & got two fresh ones for $3 - hard to beat! The doughnuts themselves were good, had nice texture & flavor, and the staff was quick, polite, and helpful. Definitely recommend stopping in!

I enjoyed an excellent sprinkled cake doughnut at an unbeatable price.

Best donuts in Marin. Bad for my diet, great for my attitude! Love these doughnuts over Johnny's because they're not too heavy and great to bring to my employees in the morning.

I have been buying their donuts and breakfast sandwiches for years and have never been disappointed. Great selection, friendly service and the best prices around. I'm planning to stop there this morning and bring donuts to work!

I stop at Golden Creme every other Friday to buy donuts for the office. Everyone loves how fresh they are. Blueberry donuts are especially popular. One morning as I was carrying the box to the car, I could feel the warmth on the bottom of the box...that's how fresh they are! They also have savory breakfast sandwiches if you don't want something sweet. Everyone who works there is VERY nice. They're producing some great donuts in one of Marin's few remaining donut shops, so please support them!I don't understand why people are obsessing about it being cash-only! A donut is $1.00, and there's an ATM inside the bakery if you can't plan things ahead.

I've been craving a glazed donut for quite some time. I was contemplating going into the city to get some Bob's donuts. I have gone to so many in Marin and they just weren't hitting the right do-notes. Golden Cream was my last hope! And thankfully they delivered!! The donut is not too fluffy and not too dense...sounding like Goldilocks now. The bite is just right! And the donuts did not have the taste of old oil. I ate 3 donuts in one morning. It was that good. I could probably eat a whole box. I recommend this place over and over!
