Christy Donuts — Restaurant in Milpitas

On our way to horseback riding at Ed Levin Park, my uncle and I stopped in at Christy's for two reasons: (1) We were too early for our appointment, and (2) Neither of us likes Starbucks' coffee (AT ALL).

We were sitting at the light (Park Victoria or Victoria Park or whatever), and my uncle asked if I saw a coffee shop other than Starbucks. I saw Christy's Donuts sitting off to our left, so we decided to try it out.

And both of us were SO glad we did. I didn't get the woman’s name (but I'm guessing she was the owner, so maybe she's Christy?), but she was SUPER nice. She was busy with another customer when we entered, so my uncle and I got a chance to look around. When he saw Kona blend coffee, he knew he'd found the right place. Kona blend is the "golden ticket" of coffee according to him. And we also noticed not just donut holes but FILLED donut holes! Seriously, neither of us had ever heard of FILLED holes before, and Christy's offers several fillings, including chocolate, raspberry, and cream. So we took some of the cream-filled ones and our coffee and went to sit out in our car.

Maybe because of COVID, I didn't notice any indoor seating, but that's fine. I did notice the menu over the counter offered plenty of food and beverage options for breakfast and lunch.

If I ever return to Milpitas (especially for more horseback riding), I'll be sure to stop in at Christy's. The food was good, the coffee was SO much better than Starbucks (and NOWHERE near as expensive!), and the service was the kind of sweet, friendly treatment you'd expect at a mom-and-pop store.

I ABSOLUTELY recommend Christy's to anyone reading...

I am not here to talk to their food, honestly their food was very much amazing and delicious, even their coffee, what I have today when I went to buy coffee and this service lady was being rude. I saw my friend was there too and I said hi, and the service lady was around. He asked me how I was, and I said I had knee surgery last October, so the story goes, I asked him like why I didn’t see him anymore with Felon , fixing cars on the neighborhood, he said he got married and pointed to his wife. I said hi to her and shook her hand, but the service lady interjected, saying, “Oh, so just be very careful because the wife is around.” I replied, “Excuse me, are you just going to speak to me like that? I am not the lady you think.” She dismissed my concerns, claiming it was just a joke, but I insisted that it was not funny to me. After she apologized, she continued to speak as if our conversation was her business, showing a complete lack of politeness and respect. And I can't imagine this person being a...

Christy Donuts has been a favorite for as long as I've lived in the area, and its longevity only speaks to how well this small business is run! Absolute heavenly donuts, holes, bagels/sandwiches, and the coffee too. Highly recommend the custard / raspberry holes, any of the donuts, and the egg/cheese bagel or croissant. You'll fall in love just like I did many years ago. My go to spot for donuts vs the chains not just because I want to support local biz but really because of the quality of food and service here. The folks here are so generous. Make sure to bring cash when you visit. My only regret is not writing this review sooner. If you're in the area, go support this wonderful...
