Daily Donuts 2

The woman and the man are very friendly, but I don’t come here for the donuts, it’s the sandwiches I come for. They have a good selection of sandwiches… the breakfast sandwich on a bagel is delicious! It’s a definite must try.

Every time I come here it’s on point. I don’t know how this place has bad reviews. Look at my sandwich that things freakin amazing. Check them out if your in the area.

First time. Last time. I read the reviews and I agree. these taste like safeway day olds! dry breading and crunchy chocolate on my glazed. I also feel stupid reading the reviews AFTER I went there. The lady helped me and gave me a price then the guy in kitchen came out to ‘ring me up’ and the price for two donuts went up .15 cents in less than 15 seconds! Super fail. Good luck everyone else.

This establishment is like the remake television show «Hawaii Five-​0»
It can not tell what it wants to be, some episodes are real-​life scenarios, and some days it is nice and dramatic «C.S.I.» episodes. But never having a constant pace, quality or plot.
This place is trying to be 3 different food services. I have been here for each service multiple times. I have lived down the street since ’97. The Donuts use to be amazing, now it’s a lottery of hoping: A) it is stocked, B) that is is fresh. Actually that sums up all the other part services such as the Hawaiian and the Chinese Food. I feel like the best food they serve is their Hawaiian food which I consider decent since most L&L’s suck now except for the one at the Almaden Expy. Costco lot.
The old owners use to give you extra donuts if you were a regular… just saying… oh and they use to give surplus if it’s been out too long or about to close… just saying.
It gets a 2 because some days it deserves a 4. I hope it happens again because I like to support local businesses.

I’ve been here many times over the last 6 months, and their donuts are delicious, and at a fantastic price. Don’t expect to find a lot of fancy toppings or flavors, but if you’re looking for high quality donuts for cheap, Daily Donuts can stand alongside anywhere in San Jose.

Daily donuts my butt! Went in to get donuts cuz I was craving it and there was only one tray of donuts and there was a sign on it that read «day old». You should rename your donut shop «Day Old Donuts». They probably went to Safeway and picked up their bakery’s donation donuts that they donate when they are a day old.

I go here every morning before going to work, cause it’s the closest bagel shop from home. I never had problem with their service, until this morning. I asked for a toasted plain bagel with butter, but instead. I had a cold bagel not even warm at all. I’m never going back here. Main Street bagel isn’t that far.

I have been in and out of this donut shop for years. Although as stated some time ago they went thru new management, they are still one of the very very best donut tasting and freshness shops in the bay area. Many early early morning selections with ground roasted coffee very fresh. Yes, there Croissant sandwiches are good but may slow down donut line as noted when I used to buy. They are good though. I would rate this store to quality, taste, freshness and early selections a 9 or 10 out of ten. Many employees like there donuts. Some bakery’s donuts give you heart burn. but «THERES DO NOT». I cant say why not, «but they don’t» and are great. nice prices and size.

I have always been a regular here. Daily donuts used to be a family owned place and I loved it! It was fast with a larger variety of donuts and sandwiches very reasonably priced. However, they recently went through two or three sets of new owners and now it’s awful.
Today I had such a terrible experience I don’t plan on returning. I went and got the turkey breakfast croissant that I normally get. With the old owners it was $ 3.75. It then went up to $ 4.25. And finally they have now been charing me $ 4.75. Anyways today I pulled out a $ 20 to pay and the woman at the counter told me it was $ 5.65!!! It is turkey cheese and egg! I asked her why it’s not $ 4.75 like normal and she said the price went up to $ 4.95 plus tax. I never have been taxed at daily donuts so I assumed the taxes were included in the price. When I told her id never been taxed she agreed to take off the tax. There aren’t any prices posted for the breakfast sandwich so I think she just makes up the prices and she sees how much money people has. That is cheap and unfair! Especially to people who are regulars. The taste is good but not good enough for the price and the lack of customer care by the owners. Bernal bagels and donuts down the street has the same sandwich for $ 4.25 without tax. I will now be going there.

Worst bagel sandwich I’ve ever had. Moonbeans is just across the parking lot. Should have gone there.

Never had the doughnuts, but the BBQ side is no good. The Katsu pork w/​cabbage is actually Katsu cabbage w/​pork. Two bites of pork to be exact! They also took a plastic fork out of my hand when they gave me my to go food and said «there is one in the bag already». I was holding on to that fork the whole time I waiting for my food and she just put it back into the tray for the next customer. Not very sanitary! When I tasted the food I found it very bland and the rice was under cooked. I DO NOT recommend the Hawaiian BBQ at «Daily Doughnuts».

I really like this little local donut shop. They don’t have a huge variety, but the ones they have are always fresh — cooked right and not greasy. I’d give ‘em five stars if they still took plastic and still made crullers. The people who work there are always nice and friendly.

The first time I purchased donuts from this establishment, the woman behind the counter was very cheerful and tossed in a couple extra donuts when I purchased a dozen. The donuts were satisfactory — neither the best, nor the worst in town.
The second time I visited the shop, another woman served me. She was aloof and unfriendly and refused to throw in even one extra donut (to constitute a «baker’s dozen»). Upon my inquiry, she argued that she’s the only person who works there and she doesn’t give any freebies, ever. I think she needs to check the employee roster, because there was a different woman at the establishment just two weeks prior. (The only credible explanation that could support her assertion is that the first woman had quit or been let go in the interim… perhaps for being too generous with the concept of a baker’s dozen?) I felt like walking away from the shop after she had loaded a dozen donuts into the box. She deserved it, but I decided to be a decent customer. I always thought it should be the other way around — namely, that a business be accommodating to its customer. Apparently, the second woman doesn’t subscribe to that rudiment of customer service and isn’t aware of the practices of successful businesses.
It’s highly unlikely that I’ll patronize the shop again, even though I’ll frequently visit the adjacent Hawaiian BBQ eatery that shares the same suite. The second woman really needs a wake-​up call on what constitutes good customer service. It’s one thing to not throw in a free donut; it’s quite another to argue with customers about it.

The doughnuts taste funny here. I can’t quite tell what’s wrong with the taste. I just couldn’t finish the one I had. Nob Hill and Lucky’s down the street have better tasting ones.

I stopped by to get a dozen bagels this morning and they only had 10. 1 dozen bagels is $ 8.50 and the lady charged me $ 10 for 10 bagels. I asked her shouldn’t she charge me at $ 8.50 — $ 1.60 for the missing 2 bagels or at the minimum, charge me for 1 dozen donuts. She said no and that I don’t have to buy it. Needless to say, for a mere $ 1.50, she has lost me as a customer forever.

I used to work by this location for about 4 years or so and I always came in here for donuts and sandwiches at lunch. I still stop by whenever I’m in the area, their prices are very reasonable.
The donuts here are very good — they usually will sell out of the good ones by noon. The breakfast and lunch sandwiches here are excellent! I always get the crossaint sandwiches and they’re very reasonably priced. It’s a family owned place — they’re very friendly and will remember you if you come in alot.
My favorite donut here is the plain crumb donut — it’s always fresh and full of sweet crumbs! they also make very good buttermilk donuts and apple fritters here.

I work for a law firm in downtown San Jose and THEY SPECIFICALLY request me to purchase their Monday morning donuts from this place! For less than $ 8 you can get a box of 1 dozen mixed donuts! Now that’s a deal. If you come between 8−9am the donuts are still relatively fresh and the line is not long at all.
However this place ALSO has fantastic croissant sandwiches which you can also customize!
Last note: Such super friendly staff! They are so nice and understanding. One time on my way out I tripped because I was clumsy and all the donuts fell. They replaced all the donuts in the box for free, even though it was my fault! Great place indeed!

We’ve gone there three times. The first time I had a glazed donut and my husband had an old fashioned. The glazed was weird, it was like I was eating sweet air; there was really not much dough. His old fashioned was old and dry. Not learning our lesson, we went back, this time for breakfast sandwiches. I’ll give them credit for that. I liked my bacon bagel sandwich and he enjoyed his turkey bagel sandwich. I also got an old fashioned maple donut. It was disgusting. I think they put Pine Sol in it. (just kidding, I don’t really believe that’s one of the ingredients) Not kidding about it being gross, though. ick. At least the coffee was decent. The third time, we got breakfast sandwiches again, and this time I tried a cinnamon cake donut. Yeah, I’m a glutton for punishment or something. I don’t know why I insist on trying their donuts. Jackpot. We both liked it, nothing gross about it, and no Pine-​Sol flavor, either. So third time was the charm.

I live near this place and go here for my morning donut fix. The donuts are made fresh, hot and soft. The only problem is that they run out of donuts. Often times it takes them 15 min or so to replenish their selections. Just a note to the owners if they look at this keep up your donut inventory in order to keep your customers from going to other donut places around the area…

Went here this morning around 6:30 AM and was highly suprised to see donuts other than old fashions! So I bought a glazed raise. Basic, simple, right? Nope. It was smaller than their usual size but I thought nothing of it… until I took a bite. Is this a day old donut from another shop? It didn’t have the usual sweetness and it was STALE! Gross. I’m not going back.
