OMG. Amazing donuts! Make your own awesome combo of flavors or order straight from the menu! Watch the donut machine at work! We did not do a good job of getting pics before we started eating. ??

Harvey's catered my wedding. They made delicious donuts that everyone raved about.

OMG! This was unreal. Quality, customizable and made to order donuts from Harvey?s CAN NOT be beat. This family run business is one of many in Sonoma that makes the town what it is.

Donuts are cute and have a great concept. Don?t get confused they are open in downtown Sonoma Location go to that location while you wait for the other to open. It?s less than 10 min away. Play some music, enjoy the ride, and you will be enjoying Harvey?s Donuts before you know it.

Wonderfully, delightful donuts! They were so light and fluffy and the experience was great. Highly recommend!

Incredible setup they have here. Much more than I expected. Very cool little spot that you should check out. Doughnuts were served fast and good. Great variety. Care has clearly been given to the entire project process.

We hired Harvey's Donuts to serve dessert at my daughter's wedding last October in Kenwood. What a huge hit their donuts were! Of course we had a small two-tiered cake that the bride and groom could cut for pictures, but the star desserts were the hot, delicious donuts. Harvey's has a great set-up and their staff is very friendly. I recommend ordering more than recommended as many of our guests went back over and over. And at the end of the night when everyone was starting to feel a bit hungry again af

This place is more than just amazingly crispy and fresh hot donuts, it's an experience of kindness and family, conversations from Harvey himself. Everything is well organized and put together in their location. I got the maple bacon combo and omg yes! All the other combos they suggested were amazing too. Don't forget to try one of the many varieties of root beer they have in stock from all over the world. Amazing business and family, definitely support them when you are in Sonoma! 5 stars!!

Harvey's Donuts should NEVER be missed! While I wish they were open more hours of the day, and more days a week, these mini-donuts are worth planning your Friday and Saturday around! At the time I visited (Dec. 2020) they were only open Fridays and Saturdays from 3pm to 10pm. Perfect for an after dinner dessert! Can't wait until their downtown location is open!

I'm so glad I happened to stumble on this place! The sign for this place is unassuming, but who doesn't want fresh donuts? It's a bit off the main highway going through town, but easy to find and so worth it. They're family run and we were helped by Harvey himself, top hat and all. They serve up little donuts by the dozen, hot and fresh and totally customizable. There are different glazes you can choose from, along with any number of optional toppings. We finally decided on a dozen with caramel glaze,

Omg why why why! Delicious mini donuts made right before your eyes! These magical creations are so delicious. If you're in the area you really need to give them a try. The staff here is amazingly fun and friendly. Don't overlook this hidden little gem.

Perfect weekend outdoor socially distanced adventure. Harvey in his tall hat is an entertainer extraordinaire. You watch an old fashioned donut machine churning out warm tasty morsels. Choose from many interesting toppings and pair with their fresh brewed coffee. Located in a rather obscure funky neighborhood, they will soon open a new location off the Sonoma Square. Hours are limited so call first. A sinfully delicious Sonoma experience!

FYI, the Railroad St. location in El Verano isn't open currently BUT GOOD NEWS: he's got a "sweet" little spot on the Square. For the record, I've been going to the Basque for years but it's declined recently. Harvey's place is superior if you're looking for sweets and excellent coffee. It's better coffee for sure, and his donuts are extremely light and tasty. I had sugar cinnamon today and they were beignet-like in texture. I met Harvey there too -- I am not a shill, just saw him in his trademark top

HARVEY?S DONUTS IS THE BEST! Seriously you need to go out of your way and make sure you don?t miss out on trying these mind-blowing mini-donuts! The toppings are amazing too and they even offer gluten free donuts!

I absolutely love these donuts! They are so rich and delicious! I have absolutely no complaints! The service is very nice and there is so many flavors I couldn?t choose!

The donuts are so friggin good. I'm not partial to the coffee but that's just my persony preference. The root beer selection is phenomenal. I recommend the maple donuts, it tastes like pancakes with maple syrup. Sooooo gooood

We just stumbled on this place, while walking around the neighborhood - and what an excellent stumble that turned out to be. Absolutely wonderful donut combos and donut sundaes.The kids couldn't have enough of them (..if we're honest - the adults too!) We'll be going back for more!

Dear god, these were amazing!!! Also, they have gluten free options for my wife (who loves hers as well). Ignore what Google shows for the hours, they are also open during the week.

Harvey is amazing and the donuts are more than you could hope for! Always fresh and with whatever toppings you want. Love 'em!

Addicting, melt in your mouth, can't eat less than one order, want to eat these every day, the cutest mini donuts and staff. Love this business!

Deeeeeelicious! Had the apple pie ones and they were "to live for", as Harvey would say. ?? I'm coming back to try the maple bacon, key lime, and some of their mini donut sundaes!????

Fresh donuts every time. Hugh selection. Outside seating or take it to go. Always warm when you get them as they are freshly made to order.

Amazing combinations, delicious fun. Wonderful staff. Miss having them at the Glen Ellen Village Fair?but still local?and absolutely mouthwatering delights! ??????????

Just some fantastic donuts. Would recommend! Hits the spot for a tasty treat craving.

Best mini donut place you can ask for. Great toppings available and a great bottled Root beer selection.
