Fresh Donuts & Bagels

Love, Love and more love for this local bay area family run place. It’s a great stop in or on your way. They are friendly, genuine and care about the ingredients. We always go for the hot made to order egg, cheese and meat croissants. Our favourite doughnuts are the chocolate old fashioned and the apple fritter is like no other. Yum yum lovely :-)

I love this place. It’s a tad tiny but that’s all you need! The owner was funny, friendly and nice. I noticed that the customers in there were regulars. The way they chatted with each other was like family! The combo croissant sandwich that I had was a BOMB! It was so delicious. I’ll drive far for the sandwich and the excellent service! I’m glad I found a gem!

Loved their egg sandwich it was prepared perfectly and the service is excellent. I will definitely be back to pick up a quick morning meal, I tried their donut as well and it was good, slightly above average but wasn’t singing so I can’t rate 5 stars

I really like this place. Convenient location, the owners are really helpful, and, my favorite part: for the breakfast sandwich, you get ham, bacon, and sausage. Yes, all 3. Really good. And you get your choice of eggs on that as over easy, or scrambled.

OHHHH DONUTS. I’ve been having some major donut cravings. Nothing extravagant, just simple donuts.
The entrance of this place is interesting… it’s literally in front of the grassy slope, so you have no choice but to trump (ha ha) over the greenery. The place is super small, and seems kind of disorganized. Yet, don’t let the unorganized shop ruin your mood!
Menu is simple to understand. I opted to get half a dozen donuts for $ 5.17 (really.what is this random 17 cents).
I chose:
–Original glazed /​/​A little melty… but still fluffy and yeasty! Can’t go wrong!
–Chocolate donut /​/​OHH. Perfection. Melt in your mouth!
–Old fashion donut /​/​This was a bit too sweet, BUT I really like the texture!
–Blueberry cake donut /​/​Apparently her call-​to-​fame. It’s pretty good! Except I wish there was more bluberry. Good texture though!
–Chocolate with nuts cake donut /​/​Standard…
–chocolate french cruller /​/​ERR. Maybe cruller isn’t my thing. It’s too fluffy but its still yummy if this is what cruller is supposed to taste like!
–Classic Crumb Cinnamon Cake Donut /​/​Woah, hold off on the sugar! But thanks for all the cinnamon!
YES. THAT IS 7 DONUTS, my friends. The lovely owner gave us a free one because it was already midday and it was crazy hot weather.
CHECK IT OUT. Kudos to being a donut place that actually opens really late…(I came here at 2 PM).

The only thing I can say is that this place is amazing. Donuts are fresh, fluffy, and sweet, but not hurt-​your-​teeth sweet like Krispy Kreme. After a few visits, My favorites so far are the maple glazed and original glazed. Simple and good. I have yet to try their breakfast sandwiches, so that’s next on our list! The owner is super sweet too.
Update: The breakfast sandwiches tho! On a fresh, warm croissant, and FILLED with ham, sausage, bacon, cheese, and a fried egg (or made to order). It was so delicious and so filling; i was full for half the day!

My fave donut shop hands down! Conveniently located near the 880 entrance I would come here on my way to work, or maybe on a lazy Sunday morning.
I always get great service here — its a cute little family owned place and they are very nice and accommodating. No matter what I order they always slip in a handful of fresh donut holes which I appreciate!
The coffee here is typical donut shop coffee, but I like that it is self serve and there is plenty of milk and creamer in the fridge.
My favorite thing to get is the raised chocolate or chocolate old fashioned. Their donuts are the fluffiest most delicious things ever. Sweet, but not too sweet (I’m not a fan of Krispy Kremes overly sweet style).
Always fresh and delicious, just as the name entails!

Excellent service and food (not to mention super fas!). Donuts were the best I had had in the Fremont area and the croissant sandwiches were amazing; a little too cheesy for me personally but my husband loved it. Unless you have a large appetite, you can easily share one sandwich with another person (they are huge).

Janice C., if you’re reading this, thank you and you know why! You’re an inspiration! :-)

Fresh Donuts & Bagels stands by its name… FRESH!!! Everything is made here from scratch, from its delightful basic donuts to its buttery rich croissants. I originally came here over a week ago to hunt down this establishment’s infamous blueberry cake donut holes. Sadly, there were none and even all of the regular glazed donut holes were already gone for the day at 9AM. Seriously?! This was a testament to me that this place is the real deal!
That day, I met the very friendly and sweet owner, Kathy, and seeing the down look on my face, she explained that her blueberry products are only made on the weekends because of the time and difficulty to make the batter and to fry them up correctly. She did say that I could order the blueberry donut holes with 2 days advance notice and a 2 dozen minimum order at $ 3.50 per dozen. Seemed pricey to me, but for that price and based on other reviews praising these berry balls, I told myself that they better be darn good for that amount and so I marked my calendar for the next week to place my order. That said, with no donut holes available, I perused the glass casing and saw two items which caught my eye, a mini apple fritter and a whole glazed donut ready for jelly insertion:
— Mini apple fritter: Fried perfectly, crunchy on the outside, moist, cinnamony, and apple-​ish on the inside. It had a very sweet glaze so I’m so glad I was able to get it in a mini (just the right size) instead of the full-​sized version or else I would have been jumping off the walls!
— Whole Glazed Donut (Jelly): The inside is actually empty of jelly as Kathy fills it upon your choosing of a filling. I chose my fave raspberry and she went to work. To my surprise, a pipette wasn’t used to fill the donut, but she actually splits the whole thing in half lengthwise and spreads on a very generous heaping of jelly on every square inch of that baby, turning it into more of a jelly sandwich! Jelly was oozing out on every bite and it got messy, but definitely no complaints here! Wow, this was probably one of the best jelly donuts I’ve ever had as my eyes rolled toward the back of my head! You catch my drift? ;-)
Flash forward about a week later and the calendar reminder on my phone goes off to call Kathy. Well, it got too busy at the office and I completely forgot to call her to put in my order for the blueberry holes. Kicking myself about this, I set another reminder for today to head over to the shop. Again, I got there too late and she was already out of the regular holes with no blueberry ones in sight. But alas, what did I see behind the glass?! A few remaining glazed blueberry cake donuts! I ordered 2 of dem bad boys along with a choco old fashioned, maple cake, and 2 croissant breakfast sandwiches since these are also the rave of this shop. But let me talk about the sandwiches first before diving into the blueberry donuts:
— Croissant Sandwiches: Uhhh mawww gawwwd!!! Maybe because I’m not a big breakfast sandwich person, but these were absolutely amazing and off the chain! Insanely, ridiculously, and wickedly deelish! I opted for one with ham, cheese, and hard fried egg (you can also get it soft fried or scrambled) and the other the same but with sausage. Hot, greasy, gooey, and just heavenly these sandwiches were, especially how the buttery, decadent, and freshly-​baked croissants absorbed the juices and oil from the meat, cheese, and eggs. At $ 6 a pop, they’re a bit on the high end, but each one comes with a generous portion of meat and 2 eggs so IMO it’s well worth the price and certainly beats out an almost $ 5 Egg McMuffin from McD.
— Glazed Blueberry Cake Donuts: I must say that I was a bit disappointed with these donuts. Yes, they were fresh, crusty, sweet, moist, and scrumptious, but I couldn’t smell or taste any blueberry despite the appearance of it throughout. It’s the reason I wanted to check out Fresh in the first place. TBH, I couldn’t differentiate it from a plain glazed cake donut, and I definitely set my expectations too high. Perhaps they’re better as donut holes? Not sure, but a minimum order of 2 dozen holes would be an overkill! We’ll see…
A few more comments… Nothing spectacular about the inside as it’s a bit cluttered and cramped with limited seating. Most people take their food to go, and it’s mainly the loyal following that stick around here. It does get very busy here in the mornings, but it moves pretty fast as Kathy runs a tight ship. Oh, and don’t forget to bring yo dolla bills cuz the joint is cash only!
Fresh is a hole-​in-​the-​wall gem which I’m fortunate to live nearby, and I will certainly be going back soon for their breakfast sandwiches and jelly donuts (hopefully, I’ll be lucky enough to snag some of their glazed donut holes, too). Thank you Kathy for a great experience and for near future ones ahead!

The lady that works here is so sweet!
She makes the food even better ‚)
me and my boyfriend come here often, and it’s so good!
I get the breakfast bagel–
it comes with cheese, egg, bacon, ham, and sausage! Uh –Mazing! Literally melts in your mouth, just like the doughnuts!
(Tried getting it once without sausage and it just wasn’t the same!) Always has customers when I’m in and gives a friendly feeling when your there! Fresh ingredients, fresh food, and fresh soft doughnuts ! Cannot get any better than this !
A great find and I’ll def will be back to try the
sandwiches and others on the menu! YUM!!!

This is a really great little spot for a quick sweet or savory breakfast pick up.
I’ve had their Hot link croissant and Ham cheese croissant. Definitely filling and delish. I’m not a donut fiend so I can’t really identify whether this spot is better or worse than another donut shop. But they seem pretty top notch to me. Good quality donuts.
The coffee is your basic. They have creamers in the fridge. Nothing fancy but if you need a quick breakfast pickup, this is a great little spot. Barely any seating, though.
I love that it’s just before the 880 entrance so good for grab and go.

The breakfast croissants/​bagels here are great! Comes with sausage, bacon, ham, cheese, and an egg for 6 dollars. I usually opt for an asiago bagel as the bagels hold together better and don’t get soggy the way a croissant might. They also sometimes throw in a donut or some donut holes to fill up your bag, which is awesome because their donuts are also pretty damn good. It is cash only, but the prices are reasonable and everyone there is always really friendly, which definitely makes this place worth checking out.

3.5. The breakfast sandwiches are really good but they’re a little pricey at $ 6. If you get everything, that includes bacon, sausage, ham, cheese and egg (scrambled or fried) in a bagel or croissant. It’s a hefty, greasy, and gooey thing. I recommend getting it on the jalapeño cheese bagel for added kick.
The only donut item I tried were the blueberry crumb donut holes. They’re big and dense, and much more fun to eat than donuts. I haven’t see this particular variation at many other donut shops so they gained some ooh’s and aah’s when I brought them for people.
There can be a bit of a crowd on some mornings but the owner lady moves people along swiftly. She was training her daughter too but that didn’t slow anything down. If you’re looking for a slightly cheaper breakfast sandwich that’s just as good, try Delicious Donuts & Bagels on Newark Blvd.

Truly a great little shop. The woman running the show is hilarious and super sweet. The donuts are great, and I’ve had almost every kind here. Her breakfast sandwiches (ham, bacon, sausage, cheese, and a perfectly cooked egg in a croissant) are delicious, too. I love how she always makes a point to sincerely thank her customers for continuing to support her business. Plus, the freebies (donut holes/​donuts) don’t hurt, either.
Ps. Cash only
Pps. I had donuts from Fresh Donuts yeeeeeeears and years ago, and found mold on them. Never went back until last year or so. The current owners are different from the dude with the moldy donuts. Don’t worry if that happened to you before; it won’t happen with her!

Super sweet staff and the best breakfast sandwiches you can get! So yummy! I also think their donuts are better than some of the other donut shops. Love this place!

The best breakfast sandwich hands down. Make sure you set enough time in your day to sleep off breakfast it was so good. Who would have thought this small place would suit me so well regarding an amazing breakfast. I will return here to eat if ever in the area, the Donuts are fresh and made in this small place, they did a great job servicing so many people they were out the door and around the building waiting for that breakfast sandwich. In the middle of all that chaos of people, the cashier went and asked everyone seated or eating if they are ok, and asked how their meal was. All I could say, was that I was so happy that I found you, and I am going to walk this off later, but I am enjoying it now. I suggest you add this place to your registrar of places to try and eat breakfast, especially if you are a foodie. This is one hell of a classicly organized, and efficient spot to be hidden from anyone who enjoys food and a great sandwich to start your day. If I carried a microwave, I would take 2 to 3 home. The price was unreal! The service to die for! And the tasty, delicious, fulfilling, and mouth watering breakfast sandwich and soft and perfectly cooked donuts. My goodness, get your butt over here STAT! This place is the bomb!

This place was a LIFESAVER. We were staying in the Fremont area and I was in dire NEED of a bagel. Coming from NY where bad bagels are actually hard to come by, I was struggling without my morning bagel.
Unilocal saved the day and brought me here. Wow. This place is run by one woman who makes all the bagels and donuts fresh every morning! The jalapeño bagel was soft and chewy with this awesome kick to it. My only wish was to have flavored cream cheeses.
But regardless, I left this place so, so happy! The owner is a spicy woman but she knows what she’s doing!

Their doughnuts are descent; not really worth mentioning though. They aren’t any more or less special than other mom and pop doughnut shops.

I love their breakfast sandwiches! Soooooo delicious!!!
Consists of a croissant with sausage, bacon, ham, fried egg and cheese. And it’s $ 5. I like their donuts too especially the one with filling because she fills it right when you order it!!! and it’s soooo much filling!
Owner is sooo nice and talkative, she truly cares about her customers and what they think.
This is definitely my go to spot now :) I don’t know what took me so long to come here!

BREAKFAST CROISSANT SANDWICHES
I always like to support mom and pop eateries if they’re good. This place is a great example. I come here either for an apple fritter or French crueller — two of my favorite donuts. However what makes good place great is the breakfast croissant sandwiches. Why? The croissants are baked at the premise and not store bought from Lucky’s, which is located on the same plaza. You can really taste the difference between buttery, baked croissant that is baked at the premise versus store bought. To add insult to one’s diet the buttery croissants soak up the fried egg, bacon, sausage, and cheese. The buttery baked croissant is the reason why I rated this donut place four stars.
