Manley’s Donut Shop

Wonderful little corner spot. I was there for a total of 5 minutes and saw 9 other people come thru. It is a definite happening early morning treat spot. Lady behind the counter was nice and polite, I just picked a bunch of random donuts, filled a box and cost a total of $ 8. Which did not last long once I got home! My fav was a cheese fruit danish thing, so yum!

I rarely go to a donut shop. The only good thing about my visit would be that the employees were not rude. I only wanted a breakfast sandwich. They were out of croissants. How does that happen? I got an egg and a couple pieces of bacon on wheat toast. Not terrible, but a disappointment considering they have several large pictures of croissant breakfast sandwiches on the wall. They had a very small selection of donuts, I’d say less than 10 types. There were two shelves for donuts and one shelf was completely empty, as in not used. No music, no tv, just silence. It looks like a place going out of business. I have no plans to return.

Awesome Donuts and very cheap price…$ 0.75 to $ 1.50…And the staff is super duper nice too. The donuts that we had was in the afternoon and they were still very fresh and delicious. Try it out! Will continue to come to this place for sure. :)

So good! Manley’s doesn’t disappoint. All of the donuts that I have tried are really good, but the glazed buttermilk is definitely my favorite so far.

Best place for a breakfast sandwich… ditch the fast food this place rocks… look the choices and great donuts too.

Super nice staff and they have seriously decent cream-​filled donuts. They take credit card and cash!

A good selection of classic made daily donuts, hot coffee and juice. Bagels breakfast sandwiches too. Easy strip mall parking — pack em fast staff

Fresh and tasty! Large selection & friendly staff. I really like the variety in sizes available, the regular donuts are medium sized, but they have huge sizes available for larger appetites. The jelly is more like pie filling than jello, I was quite pleased

This is a really good donut shop. The donuts are good and the have a large selection to choose from. Large coffee selection as well. Everything is cheaply priced and the two ladies who are always working there are very friendly. I love taking the kids as a special treat as a weekend breakfast.

One of the many Manley Donut shops in the area, and this one was NOT a winner.
Buttermilk bar: 6 out of 10 rating
Had a good crunch on the outside but the middle cakey part didn’t have the usual buttery taste it should have.
Custard filled chocolate bar: 4 out of 10 rating
Chocolate cracked all over the top so easily. Custard was not sweet, tasted like glue.

Manley’s blows away the competition. I don’t know what they do differently but it seems to make a difference. Get there early if you want the pick of the litter because they go fast. Then again — YUM YUM YUM… they are friendly and always give you something extra at the end of the day though.

Can’t beat a donut shop that is walking distance from my house. The custard filled chocolate glazed donuts are my go-​to choice.

Our «go to» donut shop for years. Donuts fluffy and not greasy. Prices average. People behind the counter are usually pretty nice and pleasant.

This places has been around for 20 years! They always got their shelves STACKED with fresh donuts. They are my number one donut place, versus others when you show up (lazy people like me) at 1 pm and all the good/​popular donuts are gone.

This place is awesome. With the demise of Lou’s Donuts, Manley’s is in serious contention for the best donut place in the county.
Their donuts are pretty much uniformly fresh & delicious, and I especially recommend the Maple & Chocolate Buttermilk Donuts, as well as the custard-​filled rounds (which I believe only come in Chocolate).
They sell out of many/​most varieties very early. Even on a weekend, going at, say, 10 am, is not a particularly good idea. This place opens at 5 am on weekdays (and possibly on weekends; I’m not sure — maybe they open at 6), and it definitely favors the early birds. They also sell cold milk, which to my way of thinking is an absolute necessity for a donut store. Why do donut places even sell soda? The idea of drinking a Pepsi or Mountain Dew with donuts is revolting.
As several others have already noted, this place is cash only. There’s an ATM-​equipped 7 – 11 in the same very small complex, however.
Oh, and if you buy a dozen, they generally throw in a 13^th donut for free, generally a glazed, or one of the other more generalized varieties, thus creating the proverbial «baker’s dozen.» Its a nice, old-​school touch. It should also be noted that there is a discount for purchasing a half-​dozen, as well as a dozen.
They also have egg-​cheese-​and-​sausage-​or-​bacon based breakfast sandwiches, croissants, and one or two other things beyond straight donuts.

We dropped by this donut shop after church today and picked up a couple donuts. I had their traditional old-​fashioned donut and it was pretty good! And for 75 cents, the quality was very decent. Will have to go back to try my favorite — the crueller!

Excellent donuts and value. After trying several donut shops in the area, I’m convinced that Manley’s is one of the best.

Solid donut shop with self-​serve coffee and the standard array of donuts. Donuts are well made and not greasy at all, try their crumb donut which is a standout and something you don’t see at a lot of donut shops anymore. Very pleasant owners that are always happy to help. Cash only but a couple of bucks and change will buy you breakfast so you can usually just use the loose change in your car if your wallet is empty.

Fresh Old School Donuts
At only .75 a donut, you can easily afford to buy a box for your whole office. The chocolate old fashioned was good, but the sugar coated puffy (oh so airy) glazed and the coconut maple cake donuts were excellent. The donut holes are only 1.50 for a dozen lightly glazed, airy and sweet but not too sweet.
— Cash Only
— Open 5am-​2pm

Just sitting here watching the CAL game and they are making me so mad I can’t stand it any more so in order to not throw a book at the TV, I have to blow off some steam by writing a review. Can CAL play any worse this season? They can’t keep one quarterback playing but have to switch back and forth, over and over again. Face it, neither one is going to do the job this year, that’s just the way it is Tedford. Wake up man!
I love donuts. Not as much as I used to because as I have gotten older I realize that they just aren’t that good for you. Plus all the carbs give me the rush, then crash that mess up my day, affect my working and I can’t have that anymore. Got to keep a clear head in these difficult times. Did I tell you that CAL is giving me a headache?
However, I still get a donut here and there and in my valley there is only one place to go, Manley’s.
Manley’s makes awesome custard filled donuts, my favorite donuts of all, their coffee is also very good. Never tried their jelly filled ones because jelly filled are just too sweet for me. They also make a lot of other great kinds too; apple fritters, chocolate sprinkles, raised, old-​fashioned, etc. Plus, the coffee isn’t bitter or sour because it’s usually made fresh several times a day. In fact, they also make their donuts every morning before the 6:00 AM regulars begin to file in for their daily sugar/​caffeine fix. It’s kind of a neighborhood tradition to get here as early as possible before work. Speaking of work, CAL has a ton of work to do if they expect to make it to a bowl game this year, I mean a REAL BOWL, not the Emerald Bowl, an actual bowl that I would want to go to in freezing December because they ain’t making a January game.
The staff is also very nice and friendly and they don’t care if you sit and read the papers for free that are lying around. If they had wireless, I would spend more time here because it’s usually quiet even though spending a lot of time in a donut shop is not really for me like it is for other people. Other people wouldn’t even be spending their time watching a game on Saturday night, they would be out somewhere but it appears that I am an idiot.
So if you are ever in Almaden looking for a clean, happy donut shop, Manley’s is the place for you. Not Memorial Stadum on a Saturday afternoon.
