Kingberry Donut Shop

Glazed Crumb — classic. nice and fluffy. I like the thin glaze with crumb. Usually it is one or other. Pairs nicely. =)

I love this donut shop! It’s been here for a while now and I love coming here. The donuts are always fresh and they have the best maple bar here! They have coffee and now they even offer pearl drinks and sandwiches. The owners here are really nice and they always remember you and what you like to order.
The donut holes and maple bars are the best! I’m always a returning customer!

Saddest croissant breakfast sandwich I’ve had in my life. New to the neighborhood and we were tired of McDonald’s breakfast, found this place on Unilocal.Boy was it a mistake. Its small, messy, croissant tastes oily and stale. sandwich was only half wrapped in foil. First time here and our last. very disappointing to open your bag and look at your breakfast and say out loud… What is this!.. smdh. Paid 4.25 for this. Ugh

OMG these donuts are taking forever I think if u open 4 then by 4:45 you should have mostly everything done. Now I’m told 5 more minutes for donut holes. On the other hand this must be bakery heaven it smells so delicious I can just imagine them melting in my mouth. I just lowered one more star I asked her to separate the two doz of donut holes and she handed me the bag to do it myself I been here for lik 20 minutes waiting and you couldn’t put them in a separate bag 4 me…

One time, my sweet hubby brought home a croissant with sausage, egg and cheese. I had a bite and I was so hooked that I made him buy me one the next day for breakfast! I didn’t know that this was the place he bought it from, and luckily enough, there was a job in the area, and I was able to visit!
This is a small donut place, smaller than the ones back home in San Diego. The smell of donuts and coffee seriously reeled me in. I like that kind of smell in the morning, really wakes me up! I ordered #3 croissant ham, egg and cheese for $ 3.95, a dozen of donut holes for $ 1.50 (.15 cents each), and a hot dog for $ 1.
The croissant with ham, egg, and cheese was very appetizing to me! The croissant was large, with generous amount of egg and cheese. Some people may not be a fan of this, but I am an egg and cheese lover so I didn’t mind that at all. Everything in the croissant was satisfying to me, that if I had more cash with me that day, I would’ve bought another one! Sadly, this place is cash only. I’m not a fan of cash only because I don’t carry cash all the time, so it’s a huge bothersome for me. The hot dog was about 5 – 6 inches long, which was warm and just about average; like how a normal hot dog should taste. The donut holes were salivating, not too sugary or oily. I thought it was just fine.
Honestly, I would like to come back to this place, and get my hands on the croissant with sausage, egg, and cheese once again, and also sample the rest of their breakfast sandwiches. The couple here were welcoming and friendly. It’s always nice to come back to a place where there’s good food and good service. That’s all it takes for me to become a regular. =)

I have been coming to this donut shop since I was a kid and their donuts are the best i’ve ever had! The donuts are exactly the same since I can remember. Very consistent with their recipe! Price is very reasonable! My favorite is the chocolate glazed donut. Delicious! Donuts never have that burnt taste that some shops have. The glaze is not too sweet and compliments the dough. There are a variety of donuts and pastries as well. The owners are super nice. I called one time when they were about to close and the owner said he would stay open for me until I got there. Good customer service!

I love going here! The customer service is super sweet, from what I take from a conversation I overheard, the girl that I usually see is the granddaughter (or neice?) of the woman who owns this place. There’s also a cute little boy that likes peering through the donut display to look at customers and wave from time to time.
Besides that, their donuts are delicious and incredibly soft. I always get one or two extra donut holes whenever I order, they’re very kind and their milkshakes are also great. Though it’s pretty simple and something you can make at home, it’s good for the price and I love every sip of it.
Bottom line, will definitely come back. The customer service is great and I love the donuts.

The doughnuts were horrible greasy. Really bad. I have never had a doughnut that actually felt greasy before. I ate a couple and they were OK (far from great, probably inferior to supermarket bakery donuts), but my roommate tried one and said it was so greasy that she spat it out. Definitely won’t be back.

I’ve read through some of the reviews and heard about some problems. I’ve run into the breakfast sandwiches being oily. Yeah, that I agree with, but wow, they are good. I’ve also run into dry donuts, but I picked those up in the afternoon. I’ve never had an issue when I came in the morning.
Is anyone surprised by getting less than super healthy food at a donut shop?
The Kingberry Donut Shop isn’t some hipster shop with all natural ingredients and high-​end coffee. It’s a down-​to-​earth place with regulars, always smells like coffee, and has tables that have been there for years.
If you want to just quickly pick up a bag of donut holes or get a good breakfast sandwich for a few dollars, this place provides.

I was VERY DISAPPOINTED picked up a couple blueberry donuts and a chocolate with sprinkles for my sons and I. Take one bite of the blueberry donut, like a desert. Apparently they’re ok with selling old donuts which I didn’t appreciate. The chocolate was moist, but neither blueberry were. So sad they got their $ 1.10 from me but lost a local customer. I’m not an avid donut fan but when my sons and I want one we will definitely go elsewhere.

My five stars are for their breakfast sandwiches. I’m not a donut person so please dont take my review towards that. I came here with a friend a few years back and she insisted I try the sandwiches there. I told her I was not fond of donuts and she told me I wouldn’t be disappointed. I am so glad I listened to her.
This place has the best croissant breakfast sandwiches ever. The #9 croissant sausage and cheese with egg is worth every penny. The cheese is melted to perfection and they give you two sausage patties instead of one so that every bite will be full of scrumptious meat. I always opt the egg out because I feel as if it takes away from the saltiness in the sandwich.
The only downfall is that when they run out of croissants, they can’t make the sandwich anymore. So come early and order that sandwich!

Awww so sorry I have to drop this down a couple stars, but my hubby and I used to come here like clockwork to grab a donut before a bike ride, but lately we’ve only come here when we’re pressed for time and it’s convenient.
The last few times I’ve had a donut from here, it was a little too fried. We went back last weekend and again, my chocolate raised donut was disappointing. In fact, it was soooo greasy, that by the time we parked at Alum Rock park (which is a couple miles away), the paper bag was full of grease. eeeek I didn’t feel like it eating anymore, but I did eat half of it since I didn’t want it to go to waste. Sadly, it was just way too fried/​crunchy for me. It wasn’t even close to fluffy. Makes me so sad writing this.

Pretty cheap donuts. BUT, you get what you pay for. Definitely not the best donuts I’ve ever had. There’s just something off about these donuts. Not really the freshest or softest donuts ever. Much rather go to the nearby Christy Donuts on Capitol.

Your sugar donuts are the worst I’ve ever had. I could only taste old oil or something burnt even though the donut itself looked just fine.
I love sugar and you know something is bad when I take one bite and spit it out. especially when it’s covered in sugar! Way to ruin my morning!

donut holes are the best. they are super delicious.

Love stopping by in the morning for a couple donuts (maple is my fave). Cheap, yummy donuts! Not too greasy or oily, either. Support your local mom and pop shops! Cash only.

Been going here for 10 years now and the selection is amazing. They have more selections than any other donut shops around that area of San Jo. The donuts are always fresh and taste great. They also have different sandwiches ranging bagels to croissants. This donut shop is also the only shop that is open at 4am and closes as late as 5pm. Most donut places open later and closes earlier too. I suggest that you guys go their by 5 am when everything is available. Eating donuts fresh from the fryer is a whole different experience. And trust me when I say these donuts arent stale either. I’ve tried a bunch of other places around San jo that had very old donuts, you can just taste it.

Everyone has their local donut shop, and this is mines! I always come for the Crumb donut and sometimes a croissant sandwhich.
The prices are amazing and the selection is typical for any donut shop, if you’re in the neighborhood, check them out!

I love coming here early in the morning. Love the smell of the donuts, love how fresh they always are, but I hate the homeless people that stand outside of the 7 – 11 right next door, and ask you for drug money, LOL… but that’s besides the point, back to the donuts…
They have a really good selection. For as long as I can remember, they’ve given me free donut holes with whatever I order. They have this weird apple filled donut that has always rocked my socks! The croissants (ham egg and cheese) are pretty good, too. Like I said, always fresh.
Cannot bitch and moan too much.

I prefer to spell it doughnut, but that’s how they do it in the sign, so I’m not going to be conflicting. Then again, it’s cheaper to spell it that way on a sign.
In any case, decent little donut shop, although I would recommend Christy Doughnuts [
a few blocks down the road. Kingberry sells their dounuts for around $ 0.70 each, bars are $ 1.00. One dozen will set you back $ 7.25. On the plus side, they have crumb old fashioned. Unfortunately, I didn’t see any twists.
Seating a little ghetto with basically white patio furniture, although when I went on a weekday morning, the place was pretty full with patrons reading newspapers.
