The Best Little Donut House in Town

Love this place. We have been going there for almost 20 years. Nice folks! Great donuts… and monstrous ham and cheese croissants!

I’m not sure why people think their donuts are so good. We got 4 donuts the other morning. The chocolate glazed was covered in a greasy, filmy chocolate which left a coating on the roof of my mouth. The regular glazed was like biting into a mouthful of grease. I didn’t bother to try the other 2 we got. Neither of my kids liked them. Plus it looked very dirty inside of the shop and the woman behind the counter was eating while she was helping us. Ewww. Do yourself a favor and go to Kings Donuts just down the road!

Donuts! This cat cries as him and his fellow feline companion arrive at this small establishment. While I’m one who doesn’t partake in super sweet things such as donuts much, I take great joy at supporting small little businesses like this. And for something a little sweet thrown in, mine as well give it a shot right?
Myself and the SpotKat arrived here for something quick. We noticed that there was one ham and cheese croissant left and it looked massive, so we took it. Along with the croissant, we got a Danish like donut and a bar.
Holy meow. First of all, the donuts here are truly homemade and made with love. There’s a clear difference to the donut you will taste here compared to some place like a Krispy Kreme. Not overly sweet, perfect texture, easily the best I’ve had.
Now, I must talk about this ham and cheese croissant. This MONSTER of a thing was so so so good. And for the price it is a steal! Nice soft and warm, perfect for a quick breakfast type deal. It made me very happy ^ ^
Highly recommend this place. Nothing too fancy here. Just good home made donuts with kind workers.
Yum!
*chirp!*

Now, I don’t know if the name of this establishment is correct. This is the first time I’ve been to a donut shop in Concord, and I’ve lived here most of my adult life. It is very good, though. But then, I notice that most donut shops on Unilocal get 5 stars. .. maybe it’s a guilty pleasure.
I just dropped the girl off to her school, and shot downtown to finally eat at this cute little donut shop that’s been here for longer than I have. Let’s see, apple fritter, there it is, looks like a good size, $ 1.70. .. okay, I got it, and out I went.
The inside is decorated up to make you want to stay for a while. I did not, and in the few minutes I was there, only one person had stayed, the rest got their nutritious breakfast to go. There is reading material available, should you wish to stay. Historical pictures on the walls. Comfortable wooden booths to sit in.
The fritter was kinda flat, and as wide as my hand is long. 7 inches. Some of you may want this for two days of breakfasts. A few chunks of apples in there, not as many as at Happy Donuts near Pac Bell Park. But it is sooooooooo sweet and tasty. And those of you who would save half of it for tomorrow would probably end up eating the whole thing, it’s that good (and spend more time at the gym to burn this off).
My favorite is apple fritters, but now I’m interested in their other offerings too. It certainly won’t break your budget. Or you can get a dozen; share with your friends, family, boss, and keep some in the car to bribe the officer who pulled you over for speeding (well, it *may* work!).
Best little donut house in town? Someone else can be the judge of that. But it is a winner.

The donuts here are made fresh every morning. Every once in awhile you have to get here when they open for a melt in your mouth treat. Good prices and service. $ 2 card minimum fyi.

I used to visit this donut shop as a highschooler. It is still very much the same place. The donuts are good, and the Ham & Cheese still is crazy big and yummy.
I took my bestie here a few weeks ago and she loved it. The lady behind the counter even threw a few donut holes in her bag. That was very sweet of her.
This place hasn’t changed one bit since the old days at Mount Diablo High. Just the way I like it. If your hankering for something sweet and deep fried, come to this little place, you will love it.

The only bad thing about this place is they have ruined all other donuts for me and they are extremely addictive.
This is clearly what doughnuts a are supposed to be like! The raised ones are just a tiny bit crispy on the outside-​AMAZING!
My favorite is the raised chocolate glazed, though the donuts holes are really good too…

Okay let me first reminisce and go back to my eighth grade year 1999. (cue the flashback transition… now) I was sitting down helping Mrs Matthews organize papers and such and with that warm smile of hers she sat down a bag of a dozen doughnut holes from this place. I remember from the first one I inhaled to the twelfth one, A love affair was started. Now let’s skip to the year 2000, high school @ Mt Diablo, I use to sometimes avoid catching the school bus to school in favor of Bay Area Rapid Transit or BART for those of you who don’t like abbreviations. My allowence was really great at that time, plus I was hooked on the sugary, crispy goodness that came from this establishment. So I had to have them even then. And the school was only right down the road. so I did what I had to do. Now my formal review starts.
I now like to treat myself to the «Best» little doughnut shop in town from time to time. Usually before I start my weekend off work. I like to consider it a little great to myself for all my hard work. This place I can honestly say is my favorite doughnut shop in the east bay. They’re simple and straight to the point. Unlike another place close to home I happen to really like and is very close to home. If this place was closer to me it would be hard to not go everyday. I’ve seen the prices go up over time, but that’s expected when you look at inflation and popularity in this day in age.
I’m usually simple, a Crumb, Glazed $.85 each or Filled Custard or Jelly Doughnut $ 1.50 or… the dozen doughnut holes $ 1.50
Even if you don’t buy the doughnut holes, the owner usually throws a few in your bag, so you get to try them and see how great they are for yourself! They have a nice texture, fluffy, sweet, warm and a nice light crunch on the end of things. That even carries on to other items they have here.
Another popular item they have here would be the Ham and Cheese Croissant at $ 3.90. It’s huge and easily two people can split one and have a filling portion. The Croissant is buttery and the cheese is nice and lightly sharp, and they use real sliced ham in their H&C. Non of that processed stuff you get from some other shops. I say try one, if your first mind tells you to get one… like Nike «Just Do It!» Because the owners only make a select number a day.
Now in conclusion. It’s not far from Concord Bart. And Todos Santos is around the corner. So it’s pretty much in the heart of Concord. The service is excellent and here you will leave satisfied. But you be your own judge, come here and Unilocal your experience.

Great service even near closing time on a Sunday. The apple fritters had good size and were fresh and tasty. Recommended.

Super friendly atmosphere, and the donuts were delicious and huge! I will definitely be back :)

The first thing I noticed upon walking in with how dirty the place is. The floors, windows and donut cases were all filthy like they had not been cleaned in some time. The donuts were heavily glazed but not very sweet, not impressed won’t return.

It’s been a few years since I have been here, but I’m glad I came back today. Had to work OT so I thought I would bring in a pretty pink box filled with yummy treats for my co-​workers. As soon as I walked in, I was greeted by the owner with a big smile. She washed her hands and asked me what I wanted. I told her a dozen mixed and she could put whatever in the box. She set up a nice assortment and it wasn’t until I got to work and opened the box to see a surprise — donut holes! Of course I couldn’t resist the 2lb Ham and Cheese Croissant to share with my partner. Its nice to see smiles on others faces after starting the day off right!~!

Yikes… avoid this misleading business! I think it was the worst donut I have ever had, and I am a donut aficionado. The maple bar was crusty in all the wrong places, the fritter was soggy, even the Devils food was just off. I was sorely disappointed! Big bummer to expect the best little donut and get quite the opposite. Much prefer king donuts down the road…

I’ve passed by this place many of times but with so much time to kill I ventured in. I got the ham and cheese croissant which was massive. I got a maple bar that was huge as well. I did not like the croissant at all to me it taste like an oversized cheese zombie. There’s more of a dough than an actual flaky croissant. But my rating and stars are for the price and maple donut that made me crave for more as soon as I finished. I also would like to add my boyfriend loved the croissant. I would definitely get a dozen of the maple bars if I ever get around to it.

Found this little gem thanks to Unilocal!
Pros: fast, friendly service, the donuts are HUGE & reasonably priced… also very delicious. Ordered the jelly doughnut which was bursting with filling, usually I buy a jelly doughnut from other places & you really have to dig for the filing, but this place did not skimp out on the filling. nomnomnom! They even throw in free doughnut holes, without telling you, I was surprised to find them in my paper bag once we got home. We also ordered the Ham & Cheese croissant which a lot of reviews have raved about. I can see why… this thing was bigger than the paper plate. I ate half & nearly fell over it was so filling! Will definitely come back here again.
Cons: zip. =)

My honey brought up the idea of donuts recently and I couldn’t remember the last time I had a donut. Then I remembered that I had this spot bookmarked to try.
I went the «long way» from our house and did a 3+ mile run to get there. When I walked in and saw the different donut varieties available, I was both impressed and overwhelmed. I opted for two old fashioned, two plain cake and two maple glazed. The total was $ 4.25 and they threw in a bunch of donut holes too!
The donut holes were soft and delicious, I enjoyed two on my walk home. As far the donuts, I found both the old fashioned and plain cake to be a bit dry and greasy. The maple glazed, on the other hand, was delicious.
It seems that the glazed/​flavored, as well as their other offerings (ham and cheese croissant, twists, etc.) may be the way to go. I’m sure I’ll be by again to pick up a post-​run treat.

My family had been coming here for almost 30 years. The family that runs this business have always been friendly and helpful. I not only love their food but I love that i can help support a mom and pop business. Their donuts really are the best! Affordable and delicious!

Excellent donuts, but there is a strange and quirky aesthetic at work. The sugar donut looked smashed and I ordered it to confirm my impression. I was so wrong! It was flaky, light, crunchy on the outside, amazingly tender inside. I was blown away. Coffee was ok, service friendly. Make sure to check out the reptile store around the corner, especially if you have kids with you.

This place maybe a «Little Donut House» but don’t let the name fool you. These donuts and other goodies come in sweet and savory, doughy, calorie-​carb filled, mammoth portions. Everybody is into the fancy $ 4 donuts floating around with bacon and other interesting non-​traditional items accompanying it. But for a traditional glazed twist, chocolate or maple cream filled bars, and all the rest, this is believe it or not, The Best Little Donut House in Concord or any other town for that matter.
One item that stands out is the: Ham and Cheese Croissant. It’s not exactly a croissant, you know… the light and flaky French pastry we all love. But at The Donut House the Ham and Cheese Croissant is more like a Calzone or Buttery Hot Pocket. It’s a meal by itself. Sometimes I wish they threw a couple eggs in with the ham and cheese croissant to make it complete. Delicious and satisfying nonetheless.
Since we’re talking about a donut shop, service is non-​applicable even though the folks running the place are friendly and pleasant. They are quick to provide a plastic knife to customers, which is needed once a person realizes that these humongous donuts need to be split in half for another time or to be shared.
So for a nice big doughy breakfast of champions, this little donut shop is the best. Thus this shop is aptly named.

Believe or not, I probably passed by this place for 20 years and had never taken the time to go in. Finally was in the neighborhood recently and, remembering my wife’s loving them from office functions, stopped by.
Even though it was 11:30 on a Saturday, there was still a decent selection of donuts, at least for me. Loved their chocolate glazed old-​fashions. And the ham & cheese croissants for $ 3.50 are an amazing value — great for a lunch or dinner.
Have to come back soon as there are a lot of other things I’d like to try!
