Review №1

From top left: French cruller (glazed), cinnamon roll, glazed donut, maple glazed, blueberry, apple fritter. Total cost: $11.55This was my first time at Happy Donuts and I’ll definitely be coming back! Service was friendly, helpful, and very quick. The man behind the counter tells me that he also makes a great espresso, so I’ll have to go back if only to try.The yeast donuts (glazed and maple glazed) were incredibly soft and pillowy. The glaze on both were perfect; not too thick and not overly sweet. A great complement to the actual donuts.The cruller was great, as were the blueberry and the danish, but the standout for me was the apple fritter. The edges were crisp, while the interior was very soft and moist, with this veins of cinnamon and almost custard-like apple throughout! So, so good!

Great prices, good service. Breakfast sandwiches, good selection of donuts with vegan option coming soon. Cheaper coffee than most places.

Now that I have these donuts in-hand, theyre definitely 5/5 on the taste and value. The owner or worker was a younger Asian guy and super friendly - we chatted briefly about what was just on the news. He let me take my time to decide between a dozen and a half dozen donuts, and helped me with a lotto ticket too.The price for 6 donuts, one special, and one very kindly added bakers dozen, came out to $9.00 which is an amazing deal for the area. Noticed coffee is cheap here too; however, I did not get the chance to try it -- about $2.75 for a large iced coffee. Sodas and various drinks appeared to be a dollar per can.He offered the option for an extra bag in-case the donuts got squished, though I declined and opted for just the box for the 7 wonderful carb rings.Upon arriving home, I tried the chocolate buttermilk, classic sugar puffy one, and the blueberry donut. They were brilliantly crispy and light. Zero excess notes on the palate -- just nice, lightly sweet, crispy exterior, fluffy interior. The blueberry donut probably highlighted this the best; though, the chocolate glazed buttermilk had a fine balance between dense (as it should be) and fluffy and crumbly yet moist.Poorly labeled business hours aside, this will be my new go-to for donuts provided I can reach them before noon. Next time, Ill grab an ice coffee or even bagels (!!) and update with those goodies.tl;dr - go before the afternoon since they close early, but fantastic donuts and prices are cheap

$13/dozen donuts is the ridiculous kind of deal you need living in the bay with this economy.

Finally! A really good place for pastries and a cup coffee thats NOT 4 bucks! The folks who operate the place couldnt be more pleasant.And I have to admit...I was asked by someone passing on the street, where is there a Petes or Starbucks...I told them, nowhere near this area & if its coffee & pastries your wanting, go to Happy Doughnuts. Its so much betterAnd it is.

This place doesnt take in delivery of donut made elsewhere. Theyve their of equipment to make more than standard basic household donut. Sparkling new place that replace corner donut shop Colonial. Not much seating room just enough for you to sip and eat. Daily task include prep work for following day, but will be done by the time doors open. Its family run packing experience from their SF location that happens to be in my district of B-6 until they move out. Stop by have a donut or two and watch production area. Youll only realize what effort goes into making donuts.

What could be a wonderful Saturday morning doughnut, is ruined by their inability to work weekends like the rest of us. Hours are customer service. Your customer service is terrible. Ill never go back.
