Customer Reviews
Update: New owners, New menus!! New credit card system, too!! Now run by Rick and Rita, they're siblings! Love this place, nicest people ever! But you gotta get there before they sell out of your favorites!! Coffee and hot chocolate, too ATM still available inside
Wouldn?t know, they were closed with no sign saying why at 12:30.
Service is good but smoothies lack flavor and it?s dirty (makes me consider the cleanliness of your dishes, equipment, etc.), freezing cold, and just lacks a welcoming atmosphere. I forgot to mention there is always something ?out of stock?. With that being said I have to ask why does it take soooo long to throw a couple things in a blender and present me with a flavorless smoothie??? Probably won?t return.
The person who helped us was very helpful and welcoming. His friendly attitude made us feel welcomed. The donuts at 7pm were fresh and a large selection to choose from. Not crowded at 7pm. Shop was clean. Prices were reasonable and much better than some other overpriced places.
Pretty cool small clean place, just stopped by for some doughnuts :))
Very helpful and kind people! Donuts are great and fresh! Cash only but they have an ATM inside.
My new go to donut shop! I called a day in advance to order three dozen donuts for my students. When I arrived, the order was ready and the owners were kind and efficient. My kids loved the donuts and asked for more! The donut that I tried, was very tasty, it was the blueberry doughnut, I believe- highly recommend. Also, they do, accept card!
Great little donut shop with classic varieties with friendly and patient staff.
Delicious donuts. But I'm giving Hooz 5 stars for the service. I'm from San Jose but currently living in Portland. Came in to order donuts. I didn't realize it was cash only. I didn't have cash on me. The young lady who was helping me said I callus take the donuts and pay next time. I told her I wasn?t coming back anytime soon because I was from out of town. She ended up giving me the donuts. What a great experience.
I am so happy we stopped here to pick up Christmas donuts. The woman that helped me was so so nice and just kind and sweet. I picked out a nice dozen donuts and they were absolutely delicious, everyone loved them. Will definitely recommend and go back here
I've been visiting Hooz Donuts 2-3 times a week since discovering it. It opens at 4AM and stays open til 2-4PM. AND BEST OF ALL-They have a variety of French Donuts( I do not insult this style donut by calling it a Cruller. It's such a delicate and moist delicacy that the name Cruller is such an insult,I refuse to use it..)
Under new management but still serving the best donuts around. They've added a ton of coffees and sandwiches to the menus so options are plentiful. It also used to be all cash but they now offer tap to pay which is great news for the kids
Hooz always has a great donut selection and as well as a yummy sandwich menu as well! Good pricing, and always get a positive experience with them.
Great sandwiches ! Highly recommend them over the Starbucks next door. Support your community !
Visiting from IL and so glad to have stopped in here. The owners are sweet as can be just like their donuts. Some of the best donuts I've ever had.
Do yourself a favor and actually read the reviews which are obviously totally bogus. Wanted to try out two dozen donuts to be told cash only but we have an ATM. ATM is out of service which I was reluctant to use anyway. The guy behind the counter tells me to go to the office next door which is actually a bar and it's 7 a.m. so go figure it's closed. Obviously this place is not doing well and needed computer-generated reviews to boost business. Seriously read the reviews and you'll see they have nothing to d
Friendliest people ever wait on you,selection is extensive, they have French donuts(my fave),plenty of off street parking and they carry the Metro paper..
When I was growing up in San Jose, quality little donut shops like this used to be everywhere, but most have disappeared as store rents have skyrocketed. I?m so glad this little gem is still here! The store is like a walk back into my childhood - complete with all the classic donut flavors my family would always get 30 years ago. Buttermilk Old Fashioned all the way, baby! Not to mention everything is DELICIOUS. Consider me a new regular! :)
I?m so confused by anything less than 5 stars and even think some postings are about the wrong location... I?ve come to this place for about 10 years and it?s always the two Asian brothers running the place. I don?t know what magical stuff they make their apple fritters out of but they are different...real crispy outside, super soft gooey inside and by a mile the best donut on earth! I moved to Tacoma Wa a few years ago and the first stop when coming back home to visit was Hooz...the guy freakin remembered
Drive many a miles to get these gems!
Very nice owners, Very scrumptious donuts and a vast selection of drinks.
Staff are super friendly and their glazed donuts are the best
Best donuts in San Jose! Family owned, and everyone is friendly! If you're looking for the best donuts, look no further. This is the place!
Great donuts and great customer service. I've been there a handful of times in the last two weeks and the staff already know my order when I walk in the door. It is cash only, so be prepared.
The older Indian gentleman that works here in the very early morning likes to conveniently and accidentally charge you extra and then refuses to give you an itemized receipt. Then he says "oh I'm so sorry the cash register ran out of receipt tape..." But it's been this way for years. Then when you tell him you want to see the math he pretends like he doesn't speak English so well and claims that the register makes mathematical mistakes; not him. I will never go to this establishment again and neither should
Been going here for years! Best place in town, they have an amazing selection. Skip starbucks, the place next door is a treat!
Ham and cheese are on point, customer service excellent. Wayyyyy better then Manleys donuts
Great donuts and coffee excellent customer service very helpful staff
Hidden gem in the willow glen plaza
Good old old-fashioned donut shop. Looks a little worn down, but adds too the charm. Looking for some extravagant, fancy new pastry? Go somewhere else. Looking for the standard faire that elicits memories of yore? This is the place.
Classic donut shop. Donuts are always fresh and staff are very friendly! Moved from Willow Glen but still drive back for these donuts. Cash only.
Let me tell you something. Them apple fritters hit different! They so good we had them at my brother wedding as a midnight snack!!
Very nice and friendly people with great customer service. Their donuts are outstanding, especially their bearclaws.
Cash only but they have an ATM inside. Donuts are good. I've been going for over 30 years.
