Love Happy Donuts! So soft, not too sweet, and a great variety. The sour cream & the sprinkle are my favorite so far. Great store hours, sufficient parking, friendly service, & reasonable prices. Will continue to be a customer.

The dusted donut holes are the best. Light, airy, not too sweet. The other donuts are all delicious albeit too sweet for my liking. They are definitely the best in the area, and really reasonably priced. The staff seems friendly and efficient.

This place needs to be cleaned up badly. Put some rat traps!!!!I was just there a few minutes ago, started eating my donut and drinking coffee then a rat ran by me in the dining roomDo you know how many diseases rats carry. Seriously! Golly!I should wash my mouth and stomach with bleach!!!I aught report this place to the health department!

Its in a very unassuming dull building, but the pastries here are spectacular. The apple fritter is the best that I have ever tasted and the cronuts are so good as well. Weve tried a lot of goodies here and I cannot say enough of how good they are and reasonably priced too. The employees are nice and helpful as well. I didnt notice if the place is open for open dining already.

Almost didnt go because no one answered after 3 calls. I thought they were closed. The food is really good though and made fresh. They really should answer their phone (who knows how much business they are losing) but they are very nice and its worth it.

The selection is great but the doughnut is average. Great if you like sugary icing but i think they should fry at a higher temp as the doughnut felt like oily.

Had a craving for cronuts, got my glazed cronut and was happy. Cinnamon sugar cronuts were limited as usual, managed to get only a couple.

This place had a giant selection of donuts at a very reasonable price (about $1 per donut). Friendly staff and clean environment. There is also parking in in front of and around the shop, so it is definitely my go-to donut place now.

Happy Donuts serves very good donuts, using high quality donut ingredients. They also serve great hamburgers and some other meals that are all great tasting and reasonably priced. The employees are pleasant and eager to serve you without delay. I am a regular customer. If you like donuts, Happy Donuts is one of the best in the area.

Review №58

Happy Donuts is easily my favorite donut shop. Inexpensive, delicious donuts, quirky decor (check out the huge donut on the ceiling), huge selection, great staff. I want to give a special shoutout to their breakfast burritos – really delicious and shockingly affordable in comparison other options in Palo Alto. Their staff is sweet — Ive shown up there multiple times with groups of over 30, and they just take it in stride, often throwing in an extra bag of croinut holes. Oh, by the way, you HAVE to try the croinuts! 10/10 would recommend, be it 3am or 1pm.

Beautiful, light, fluffy donuts. The plain glazed is my go-to here.This place is open 24 hours, and late at night the crowd can be eclectic, but thats part of the ambience.Definitely my favourite donut shop in the Bay Area.

The donuts are ok, but they are wayyy overpriced. They don’t have a whole lot of flavor and they cost like 1.50 each!

For some reason Happy Donuts is showing up on Google as new, but its been here forever. The donuts are a little pricy but its a great place to sit and relax. They have some sandwiches and snacks. A lot of people playing board games in here too since they have plenty of tables for a donut shop.

One of the few all night doughnut shops in the Bay Area. Doughnuts are prepared fresh throughout the day and the sheer variety is a sight to behold. They also offer hamburgers and croissant wrapped hotdogs which are must try items.

The kronut is a work of art. Ive eaten a lot of pastry and nothing beats the kronut. For the value proposition, the kronut hole is a win. Service is fast, the line moves quickly and youll be filling the hole in your face with delicious, flaky kronut holes before you know what hit you.
