Manley's Donut Shop — Restaurant in San Jose

My little one and I went to Manley’s Donut Shop in Willow Glen for the first time today. I love that this is a family business, and the donuts are fresh, with a variety to choose from. I got a buttermilk donut, and a few others. Oh my gosh! The BEST Buttermilk Donut In My Life!! Delicious! 💕 I’ve been going to donut shops all over, since the early 1980’s; so I am not new to this.😅

We went later in the day, around noon; but supply was ample, which I was pleasantly surprised. Usually, donut shops are down to their last few around that time. Not here. So many to choose from-and fresh! (If they taste this amazing now, I could only imagine how it would be when they first open in the beginning of the day!) 🤩

I love the “Mom and Pop” donut shops, over the chain ones. I just feel they have a more fresh, authentic flavor. I love the atmosphere; it’s warmer, inviting, welcoming. Plus, I prefer to support smaller, local businesses. This place is no exception. It provides all of that!

I wish we would’ve taken pictures before hand, but we gobbled them up before we knew it. Lol. 🍩 (Next time). 😉 📸

Aside from parking being a challenge, everything else was awesome here. Fast, friendly service. You will need to bring cash though. 💵 Overall, this is my now, new go-to...

As well as the chocolate buttermilk.....however I'm a stickler for chocolate old fashioned donuts & I've had better,Manleys are good but I've had better. I had a sandwich there too & the priced are like 5-6 dollars. Totally reasonable & tastes descent, but it's the donuts that are the draw. One thing you have to be ready for is its cash only. When you pull up there's only room for like 2 cars but don't worry, if you go into the parking lot which looks small from the front there's actually plenty of room in the back. It reams a very low key place to grab a quick sandwich on a lunch break & maybe bring some donuts back for your...

Drove past this place many times over the years, like most donut shops they close by lunch time. I never was able to stop in to try a donut, it always looked like a good place. I finally was able to try it a few weeks ago and it was a delicious glazed donut, super soft & fresh i devoured it in seconds. Tried a maple donut today & it was the same results, super soft & fresh it never stood a chance. Both times as well they thru in a few donut holes. I’d recommend this place for a quick donut, service was also great both times very quick and...
