Donut King

Maria and Eva you guys are the best serving with smiling faces GM

Classic donut joint. Always a good spot to stop and grab a quick donut. Easy and cheap with a good selection. No complaints!

Excellent donuts, and the the shop owner is very friendly. Great little donut shop. Smoothies are also delicious.

This place actually has real, old fashioned bear claws and they are the best I’ve ever had!!! They aren’t the imitation ones that so many donut shops have these days. These are the bear claws with the slivered almonds on top. They are so fresh, and the dough is so soft and delicious! I’ve found my new favorite donut place. The service was great too!

I have been coming to donut king for 10+ years now and never have I been disappointed.
The owners are very friendly, the prices are low, and the donuts are to die for.
I have yet to visit a better donut shop in the area, and I’ve been to quite a few.
I recommend getting the apple strudel, donut holes, a filled maple bar, or an apple fritter. Those are my favorite things to get there.
PROS
–very friendly owners
–low prices
–great donuts and pastries
–they give discounts if you are buying several dozen, or if you are buying donuts for a school, church, event, etc.
CONS
–their drink selection (their coffee menu) isn’t too great

Just came from the puking pizza place. I had a great donut. Donuts on hit!!! Great service had fresh donuts!!!

My family and I have been coming here for over 20 yrs and love it. Now I have a family of my own I bring my son. Always amazing customer service.

One of my favorite donut shops, the lady who works there is super nice and since I go here often she gives me a free donut with my purchase. So I’m always willing to tip her. I’ve had their chai and I like it. I still have yet to try the coffee there so I can’t comment on that. But the Maple Bars are my grandma’s favorite while I like the jelly filled donuts. My uncle and brother love the Apple fritters, and my mom she loves their cinnamon twists. They are cheaper and not as sweet as Krispy Kreme donuts.

Best Coffee in town! Best Donuts in town! Lee and his family work hard and do a great job. Convenience is key here. I get in and out quick and off to the job.

This place has been run by the same family for 20+ years, ever since I was a kid it’s been the same faces behind the counter. Donuts are great but nothing fancy. The best part is their smoothie bar. Everything is made fresh and they have NF Greek yogurt. Better price and better for you than Jamba Juice!

Felt compelled to leave this review after years of experiencing wonderful service here. The owners are such incredibly nice people and the price is on point.
While primarily a donut shop, they also offer other baked goods (muffins, cookies) as well as bagel sandwiches, coffee, etc. But I think their smoothies may be one of their best-​kept secrets!
Another plus here is they’ll get you in and out fast if it’s a weekday and you’re in a hurry on your way to work. So glad they’ve been a Redwood City staple. Love you guys!

My family and I frequent this establishment a few times a year. Donuts are good, coffee.eh. We usually get a couple donuts and bagels (brought from Noah’s Bagels) to go. I would give this place 5 stars but one of the cashiers is totally rude. We always leave disappointed with her shitty attitude which is why we don’t really go there as often. Get rid of her and we’ll frequent more often :)

Super friendly shop owner.
Donuts had the funkiest flavor. I couldn’t eat either one.

Hmm. Donuts!

If you drive past this place everyday like I do, you might be tempted to stop in every now and then. Yes it’s a donut store and the donuts are always terrific; they also have lower calorie items such as smoothies, chinese bubble tea, bagel sandwiches, muffins and streudel. This nice little neighborhood spot allows you to grab a quick snack on the way to work, or in the afternoon for a little pick-​me-​up. Service is quick and friendly. Actually, the staff are more than friendly, they are actually refreshingly funny, and you never know what little joke they’re going to say, they are always polite, but if you’re in a hurry, you might not catch the joke until after you’ve driven off!
The donuts are made fresh daily there, and the muffins, streudel and bagels are brought in from a wholesale bakery. Their coffee is ok, a little weak for my taste, but some people like coffee that way. They always have a stack of local newspapers and some tables for those who have time to hang out at a table and read while enjoying donuts and coffee. Or if you’re in a hurry it’s great for a grab & go. This is a great little spot to quickly get 3 dozen of the best donuts in town, for whatever occasion such as your kid’s birthday treats for school.
Some locals like to hang out here and the barber shop next door. My husband, among others, likes to patronize both stores when he gets his hair cut…

According to Unilocal,I’m the Duchess of the Donut King! Lol. Also of a candy shop and quite a few hiking trails, so at least I don’t appear totally gluttonous and lazy. Actually, I often come to the Donut King not for the donuts (though they look tasty) but for their bubble tea, which comes in many, many flavors. My favorite is the Thai Tea and second up is the mango flavor. This is a family run spot, and they’re very friendly. Their tea is very cheap, super yummy, and always makes me happy after a long hike or after I’ve finished teaching a few miles away.

Donut King has that old-​school vibe of a neighborhood donut shop: They enojoy what they do, and they enjoy their customers. The missus, junior, and myself usually find ourselves here on the weekend just a few times a year — but we are greeted warmly and feel like they remember who we are. Key in a small business.
While we enjoy the periodic fried treat (which has always been tasty and fresh), we really come here for the smoothies. Amazing smoothies that taste so good! more than 20 different types, all made there on the spot, that taste wonderfully fresh. Not to miss! We’ve grabbed a few coffees here and there, and they have been good.
Yes, the décor leaves something to be desired — but the shop supports the youth baseball teams in the community, so I give them a pass on not having furniture from DWR. The place is clean, the people a re nice, the treats are good.

Really good price, the owner is very nice to my daughters (but not in a creepy way) giving them samples and donut holes, and replacing for free a donut we dropped (oops!).
Great regular variety (oh so soft and tasty) and fun seasonally decorated donuts. Grab some tasty delights, a milk or coffee (mediocre, but you ain’t at $ 4bucks. it’s all part of the atmosphere), read the funny pages laying around, and enjoy the people watching.
Old school RWC Sunday morning — gotta love it.

One night around 10PM, I called Donut King, thinking I would get a voicemail message that would tell me the hours of the store. Ummm — I was wrong!!! A gentleman answered! Wow, I had no idea the Donut King was up so late… is 10pm donut-​making hour?
Anyway, in the morning I needed three dozen donuts so first I went to my go-​to donut place for 1 dozen. Then I decided to give DK a try (have heard good things about this place). I selected an assortment for my remaining 2 dozen, and LOOK! They have a blueberry donut. YESSSSS! I had to get one.
Overall: Good donuts and typical prices. Blueberry donut was okay, but I still prefer Happy Donut’s blueberry. Still, if you need a couple dozen donuts for some event/​meeting/​etc., this is a fine place to go.
Apparently DK also sells pearl tea??? Two of my favorite snacks in one place??? I will need to go back and give it a try.

I would have never guessed that a donut shop in Jefferson Plaza would have red bean tapioca drinks (and other tapioca drinks). The owners are Chinese and they even have Buddha statues in the shop.
It’s a cozy, neighborhood spot, with a couple of tables and people who look like regulars. While not particularly large for a donut shop, it has your usual fritters, bars, twists, cake donuts, French, donut holes, and so forth. The devil’s food donut looked really good. I am very impressed that they labeled their donuts. It didn’t smell of fresh donuts that morning, but my donut was fresh (though not warm).
I had a raised sugar donut (75 cents) and I must say that it was perfect — very tender, soft and fluffy without an oily aftertaste. Yum. A baker’s dozen will set you back $ 7.49 and you can also find bagels, muffins, fresh juice, fruit cups, espresso drinks and smoothies.
