Donut Wheel

Came for the vegan donuts and was not disappointed! Super friendly staff, a decent vegan selection of cake and raised(!) donuts. They taste good. They are a bit pricey with $5/piece priced like specialty non vegan donuts. I will get them again, as the taste was really good.

Doughnuts quite good. But I was unexpectdly pleased with the croissant sandwiches, made quickly and I was able to eat happily in my room at The Aloft. I'd call these croissandwiches "killer".

I am so so allergic to milk…their vegan donuts ARE SAFE!!!! I am here all the time, my husband and I can’t have milk. These are legit the best vegan donuts I’ve ever had. I usually like raised and hate cake, but these vegan cake donuts are better than non vegan cake donuts. It’s unreal and sooooooooooo good 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Tip: come at midnight and everything is fresshhhhhhhh

Super delicious vegan donuts and really wonderful customer service! 🥰🥰 The donuts were so fresh that they had a crispy exterior and fluffy interior. It was also so nice to have a wide selection of fun vegan flavors for a late night sweet treat🍩

Delicious donuts served by a very friendly staff. They are open 24 hours, have ample parking and easy access. They invited us to come and see how donuts are made. I’d give them 4.5 stars if I could just because some renovation could help the interiors look better.

Came around 8 pm on a Sunday evening and had very fresh vegan donuts! Not sure it if costs twice as much to make vegan donuts but they are priced $5 per piece where as regular ones were $2.50 (April 2025)

These are the best donuts I've found in the South Bay. Delicious, good variety with the typical donut types and flavors as well as more interesting (but still delicious) non traditional flavors. There is a reasonably good vegan selection, the staff are always friendly, there is ample parking and this is my go to place for donuts. I highly recommend their fritters. Some of the best fritters I've ever had in my life!

Its open 24/7. There’s a lot more different kinds of donuts available here. Service was pretty fast. Taste wise I am not a donut lover but came here for the for the first time just as my kid wanted to have some. And I really enjoyed it.

Good selection of various flavored donuts, including crullers, cronuts, and donut holes. As one of the only (if not only) stores open 24 hrs in Cupertino, this hits the spot late at night. Donuts are priced very reasonably (especially considering inflation). The workers here are friendly and seem to be having a good time even as we came in at midnight. For a late night donut session, the vibes here are great. It really feels like the perfect local stop for a midnight snack.

24/7 donuts? Say less This is definitely my go-to donut shop in the South Bay. There is a small parking lot in the back, but it's usually not crowded. The variety is insane ranging from bear claws to cronuts to sandwiches. I love their simple original glaze donuts and donut holes. Other good notable flavors would be the pistachio, chocolate, and cookies n cream. Psa: the donuts are biggg, but fluffy and will fill you up.

The vegan donuts are so delicious! I was bummed when WF stopped selling vegan donuts but now I'm grateful because it led me to Donut Wheel. They have a huge variety of vegan and non-vegan options. It was hard to choose but thankfully the person that helped me today was extremely personable and patient. He was working all alone and of course when it got busy the POS system went down. He was very polite and apologetic as he rebooted the system so I could pay. I wasn't in a rush so I didn't mind at all but his personality made the experience even more pleasant. Back to donuts, my favorite is the matcha pistachio vegan cake donut. It's the best vegan donut I've had in a while. The non-vegan's really enjoyed their donuts as well. Highly recommend!

10250 N De Anza Blvd Cupertino, CA 95014 Donut Wheel is a great place to stop and get your coffee and donut fix! I was there at 530pm on a weekday, taking a break from sitting in traffic on I-280. The place has a small parking lot in back, and is open 24-hours. At 530pm, the case was packed with all kinds of donuts. I asked for a 1/2 dozen for $15. These donuts aren't cheap, but they're big and soft! The coffees offered were Regular, Hazelnut, and French Roast. My donuts were fresh, soft and fluffy. I had a friendly chat with man working there. We talked about everything from the cost of living in the bay area, to where to get a good burrito. The interior looks a bit outdated, with several tables and booths. Donut Wheel is located on DeAnza Blvd, South of I-280, and just pass the Apple Infinite Loop Campus. So stop and take a quick break before getting on the road!

Was craving for a donut after dinner and came across this place on Yelp. They have parking on the back, place has a very local bakery vibe, has some seats. I got the chocolate glazed. The donut is little bigger than usual size you get at other places. The donut was good. Not great, not bad. It was definitely made the same day, so you can say it was fresh. I wish they labelled the donuts. There are so many variations that its not possible to ask the 'busy staff'. They were not friendly. But I'll go back for the donut!

I am usually not a sweet tooth kinda guy but the donut wheel catch my eyes. Like the place because of the history of business and they service are humble and friendly. Here is my scoring card for this restaurant: 1) Location: ( 5 Point ) - Great location for customer to see and find. Great parking for street parking and back side with parking lot parking. 2) Decoration : (2 Point) - They still have the original decoration. Clean. 3) Price: ( 4 point)- The price is competitive and is reasonable compare to other same stars and type food they serve 4) Quality and Taste : ( 3 point)- The quality is good, food taste is good and portions are average . 5) Type of cuisine standard : ( 4 point) - The style of deserts food they serve is pretty close to the way it was prepare in California and USA Not bad! Overall it's not bad and I thinks it's great to give it a try and let me know what you think. Go foodies Total max is 25 Score 18 Stars = 72% round up to 3 stars

This is not our go-to donut shop as it's farther away from home, but we've come here on several occasions, particularly when we have a late-night donut craving (they're open 24 hours). They have a really broad selection of donuts. Many of them are more gimmicky than traditional, such as cronuts, red velvet, and donuts topped with Fruity Pebbles or crushed Oreo cookies. But they have the more familiar ones, such and raised glazed, twists, buttermilks, chocolate glazed chocolate cake donuts, and old fashioned, plus things like croissants, bear claws, fritters, turnovers, jelly-filled, cinnamon rolls, etc. Basically, if you can't find something here that appeals to you then you're either too picky or are completely lost and just need directions back to the freeway. The donuts here are more expensive than many other places - for example, a buttermilk bar is $3.50 and one of their standard, nonfancy donuts is $2.50. The specialty donuts start at $4.50. The prices are clearly posted on the wall behind the counter. Though pricier than our regular place, I have to acknowledge that the donuts here are also larger, so maybe that justifies the price. Then again, nothing is truly overpriced if people are still willing to pay. It's donut economics. We always go for the traditional offerings. We haven't been disappointed yet, except for maybe a 2:00am foray which netted us donuts that probably had been sitting in the case for many hours. One thing we've noticed is that glazed twists and regular raised glazed aren't quite as yeasty as other shops - they're a little denser, not light and airy. It's still a good bite. They buttermilk donuts are quite substantial and moist all the way through. Service here has always been very friendly and attentive. No concerns there. It's a very good place as long as you're comfortable with the cost.

Updated 11/02/2024 I've already shared that these are my kids favorite donuts... tasty, big, and an amazing assortment. What I neglected to mention was how good the service is. Nine times out of ten, it's a younger guy working behind the service counter. He is always friendly, polite, and efficient, even when he's busy.

My favorite donut shop ever. Open 24/7 Best mom & pop donut shop. Have always been reasonably price. Been going here for nearly 10 years now. Best glazed buttermilk I've ever had by far.

I have to be careful here. As a T2 diabetic this place is love/hate for me. I avoided it for years, thinking that it is better that I don't know what goes on behind the front door, in order to avoid any future cravings that my pancreas can't handle. Well last week I needed something to stave off some recent family stress and slow myself down with a treat. We were in the neighborhood of this well-known gem and decided to stop in for "a" donut. Welcoming and friendly, large inside with endless racks of the most delicious-looking donuts. Once you see how big and tall and delicious these donuts are you will be so happy you stopped! So many variations to try! From glazed and covered with cereals like pebbles and fruit loops, to my favorite the boston creme pie (chocolate topped and filled with the most smooth, creamy and comforting custard) this place is amazing! I just immediately felt happier that I was taking time out to treat myself and turns out donuts ARE self-care for me! We tried a few over the next few days because we got 6 for the two of us. Uh oh yes I gained a few pounds because of it but I'll burn it off next week. Maybe. Who cares, it was absolutely worth it! Tried the boston cream, an old fashioned glazed (thick cakey goodness and glaze could be sweeter IMHO,) some nutty covered glazed one wife enjoyed, simple round and sugared ones filled with custard and one with lemon which was impressive- not too fake lemony sweet and just light as can be for a jelly, with a very true-to-fresh lemon taste. It was the simple yet different Creme Brûlée donut that left both of us in awe. We split this one and both agreed we'd go back and get 6 of just these next time! It was so impressive! I've never had a donut with that crispy of a shellac on the outside. It truly was crunchy and sweet just like the hard topping of a creme brûlée, in every bite! Then the filling...hands to the sky, that filling was divine! Different than the custard, it tasted like "baked in the oven in a bain marie" creme brûlée and had a texture that was thick and creamy. After 3 days, we are still thinking of that donut. This place is truly special. Be sure to stop in and you won't be disappointed!

Where else can you get quality donuts at 11 PM in Cupertino? Walking into Donut Wheel felt like stepping into donut heaven. The smell of freshly made donuts was irresistible, and the display was packed with tempting treats. We picked up four specialty donuts, but it was seriously hard not to leave with a full dozen. Every bite was worth it, and the fact that they're open 24/7 is a huge bonus. Thank you, Donut Wheel, for being a reliable late-night spot for donut lovers. I'll definitely be back!

We ROLLED on over to Donut Wheel looking for dessert after a late dinner. This location is open 24/7, so I wasn't expecting the best quality but boy was I wrong! Even late at night, there's still a huge variety of doughnuts available, enough to satisfy even your wildest donut concoction imaginations and lustful cravings. From the classics like glazed donuts through donuts with Fruity Pebble, Oreo & marshmallow, or M&M toppings, they've got it all! Long donuts, old-fashioned donuts, croissant donuts, donut holes -- it's like being transported to a dream-like donut utopia from the deepest corners of your guiltiest donut fantasies. We kept it simple this time and just got the chocolate and sugar donuts. They are big and fluffy with an airy interior but still with enough body to provide that satisfying doughy bite. I'm impressed how fresh they taste while offering such a huge variety! The prices aren't too bad either. I have to take a star off for the interior, however. It feels kind of grimy and dusty in there. Yeah yeah I know it's supposed to have that old-school retro mom-and-pop donut shop feel, but when did that include looking like they are ready to move with all the stacked boxes everywhere? They should tidy and clean up the place to make it feel more welcoming. Still, love how you can get good fresh doughnuts here without waking up early for places that sell out before noon, great for people who aren't early birds like me.

Love this place! Donuts are fresh and insanely delicious! I always choose these donuts over a cake for my son's birthday celebration at school.

Was craving vegan donuts, so I went to Donut Wheel, but they had very limited selection of vegan donuts, maybe 8 donuts all together comparing to cases and cases of regular donuts, The man working there was very nice and we chatted for a bit. I bought the maple glazed, it was moist and the sugar to donut ratio was perfect. $4.50 per vegan donut is on a pricy side if you ask me. CC accepted

Stopped here this morning since I was in the area. I got a half dozen doughnuts. since when did the price of donuts go through the roof? I did order two custard fill donuts that the guy said wasn't at the 1/2 dozen price and I said that's fine. The cost was $19 for 6 donuts. To be fair the donuts were good but nothing to write home about, and certainly not worth the $19 price tag.

Seriously the service was terrible. When I walked in the place was empty. Lady was on her personal cell phone and I had to wait a few moments for her to attend me. Once I did, I started to do my order. She looked irritated and wasn't listening to the choices as I named out my selections. "A" mean 1 and she asked "how many old fashioned". I just walked out. I won't spend my hard earned money on places that don't value customers

This is my favorite place to get my coffee, donut, newspaper, drinks for the day. And my man Don on night shift is super friendly and a good person. All my interactions with the staff have been great. Oh, and the donuts are the best EVER!!!

Friend dropped off an Apple fritter for us to try. We had heard that they were amazing. I tried it. It was crunchy on some edges. Taste wise was ok. I prefer the ones from Safeway.

We stayed at Aloft right across the street and our room looked right over at Donut Wheel. I wanted to try it from the 1st day I saw it, but we ended up going on our last day. As soon as I walked in, I was overwhelmed with the amount of donuts that they have! I wanted 1 of everything!! We decided to get the maple bacon, Oreo, cinnamon roll, sprinkled and regular glazed. All were good, but I've had better maple bacon ones. Price point was reasonable, especially for the cinnamon roll which was HUGE.

I had a random craving for a maple bacon donut that lasted about 4 days. I finally caved and decided to find one. I had never been here before but I would always drive by. The person working was friendly and helpful. The donuts themselves were a bit underwhelming, but they weren't bad. They just didn't taste that fresh. I also got an apple fritter which I enjoyed.

Donut Wheel is one of my favorite donut shops in the area. They have a vast variety to pick from and are always fully stocked throughout the day. My favorites that I alternate from are their chocolate twist, the bear claw, and the chocolate cake donut. Their donuts are also pretty big in size compared to some other popular local donut shops but for similar prices, which is why I always come back.

Absolutely hilarious, yet absurdly regardless to food safety of the donut wheel establishment. That being said, if any food inspectors are reading this - you've got a live one here mate! So my friend and I go to this place cause the WoFi and 24hr openings as we are in university (masters and PhD) and of course you gotta have some donuts and coffee when studying! So we go and we get the donuts from the nice grandma, and everything is chill. Then you here him... Making unfunny jokes to grandma in the back until you see him - I have no idea his name. He is not a cook, he is not a barista, he is "customer service". So, C.S. (customer service) is no in charge around I wanna say 5pm and it's just him and us for about 3 hours. We buy waters and coffee to keep them happy with our use of their single accessible outlet which my friend brings a surge protector to use with all our electronics. I get a cold brew which tastes like someone literally ashes their cigarette in, AND IT THEN HAPPENED. customer service starts friggin smoking cigarettes inside the establishment! I was certain someone was smoking outside, but after going out to check, NO ONE. I sat back down in a puzzle because it was getting more intense. As I look to stare imagining customer service kneeled down behind the 3 coffee makers I see a puff of smoke go up.... I was in shock. IN THE RESTAURANT?! SERVING FOOD? 100% convinced that they actually ashed in the cold brew. Had someone walk in while he was smoking and the person still ordered. IDK, up to you, but this place should prolly get inspected! BEWARE THOSE ASH CRUMBS! LOL

Came here looking for vegan donuts as my family can't have dairy right now. Rainbow sprinkles on white frosting was delicious. Matcha with pistachio as well. A little pricey at $4.50 each but worth the premium.

I forgot to buy doughnuts the night before for the first day back to school. All My Neighborhood doughnut shops were closed. Found Donut Wheel with an internet search. Wow. When I stepped out of my car in the parking lot at 10:45 PM the smell was incredible! Then when I walked in the amazing variety of treats blew me away. The gent behind the counter was super patient with me as I hemmed an hawed. It was so hard to select just 12. Oh, And their doughnuts are HUGE!! Forgetting to buy donuts may have turned out to be the best mistake EVER!

Tried a range of donuts from this place! I would say some flavors are better than others. I loved their maple bacon and Oreo donut, but was surprisingly disappointed with their ube and red velvet. It was too sweet and very thick and heavy. I had no problems with parking or service.

Their donuts taste great! The shop owner is very friendly. The location is convenient to park.

Too greasy and overpriced for selections. By the time I got to work the paper bags were drenched with the grease. Don't understand the ratings it has. But I don't know

Stopped by to pick up just a Chocolate Sprikled Donut for my liitles, and turned into me ordering about a dozen and a dozen doughnut holes. i like Donut Wheel because they are open 24/7. when ever the urge kicks in, they are there. the location inside where there used to be tables to sit and eat, seems to have been in a storage area. besides that, the Deep Fried Delacasies are Deliscious. They also have some coffee drinks and cold beverages in the fridge. the service is also friendly, yet quick and to the point.

I have never been a donut lover but as my daughter insist to have a donut me long with my husband and my daughter visited this shop. I was amazed to see the variety and so much options but as I was having no clue ordered two different varieties and they really taste good and was super soft. I was amazed to know that this shop is open 24/7 and with a whole lot of options. And their prices and quality along with the service was super fast. You can park your car easily as they have their own parking space not a lot but you can park it as people and the service was fast. There is no sitting place inside the shop so you can simply order and go.

My favorite donut place that's open 24/7!!! My dad has been going here for forever and he always would take us when we were younger. The French donuts are so good!! They're so light and airy which is the best kind. I also loved their matcha donut the last time I went but since they're in the "speciality" category, it's definitely more expensive. Service is great and he even gave us 2 free donuts! This place will forever be my go-to donut place if I can make it to Cupertino!

So good! I've gotten so many donuts from here including the cronuts and the chocolate old-fashioned and they all taste amazing. It is really nice to have a place in the area that's open 24/7 since everything else closes early. The people working here clearly care a lot about the quality of donuts and always have a huge selection available no matter what time it is.

This place is super nostalgic for me as I came here growing up. I love their glazed donuts and their shaved coconut donuts which are super delicious and taste super fresh. One downside is that there are no chairs inside so you can't actually sit inside and eat. Would definitely go here and its 24/7!

I've been here twice--the convenience is not worth the terrible service. Pros: Open 24 hours, near the freeway, good range of donut types and flavors (including vegan and s'mores) Cons: Really BAD service! The first time I went in on a Sunday morning, I called ahead to order 3 dozen donut holes. When I arrived, not only did they serve the person who entered the shop after me before serving me, my order wasn't ready because they said that they forgot, followed by a chuckle. I had somewhere to get to, which is why I ordered ahead. The second time I went in on a weeknight, the staff misunderstood the donut we ordered, argued with us about the miscommunication, and tried to make us purchase it! He finally took it out of our box with a click of his tongue and an eye roll. He's lucky we didn't change on our mind on the rest of the order and just walked out. When we went home and finally tried our donuts, we decided that they weren't good enough to put up with the service, especially since there are plenty of other donut shops in the area. Try at your own risk. We shall not be returning.

Amazing and fresh donuts. So many choices, between your classic glazed and old fashion to premium choices with funky toppings. The shop has trays of any type of donut you would want and it's hard to pick. I got a variety and they're all really good. The cronut was really good but you can't go wrong with your choice. Only downside is the prices are a bit higher than what you could probably get somewhere else but I'm very satisfied with what I got.

I miss the old Donut Wheel! Sadly there are new owners and the changes have taken place. The care for fresh donuts is gone! The prices are crazy high! The service is bleh! The old Donut Wheel had fresh donuts at any hour. I went in at 7pm and thee were no fresh donuts, just the few left in the display. It was hot outside, like 90 degrees. These sad donuts were sitting there, sweating in the place where they refuse to use A/C. The guy working there could not care less! He knew he was offering me so nasty old, sweaty donuts. No smiles, no chit chat. Welcome to the new Donut Wheel. I won't be back, sadly! 4 Donuts were $9! WTF

Donuts and croissant tasted old. Took 1 bite and threw them away. 3 donuts and 1 croissant was $17. 1/10 wouldn't recommend.

Fresh, light, and airy donuts. My favorites are the matcha pistachio and raised glazed (can't go wrong with the OG). The donuts aren't too sweet, but I did find the ube pistachio a bit sweet for my tastes. The matcha pistachio had a good balance of matcha flavor, and it goes well with the pistachio.

It's a thing in our household with Donut Wheel. We cannot drive by without stopping. My daughters love donuts. Donut Wheel is the favorite! The donuts are fresh and delicious. We enjoy the glazed and traditional cake donuts but honestly there isn't a donut we do not like at this shop. They have been around for years and have perfected the donuts. You should try the donut croissant! They call them cronuts. I agree with some of the other reviews that say we hope this place never goes away!

This is the spot for donuts at anytime ! I will Drive from SJ to here for a buttermilk or raspberry filled or a cronut or some donut holes ... u get the point .. must try !! Great service .. always friendly .. always consistent and fresh

So i still love this place forsure without a doubt except for this very moment BUT when i say i'm sooo pissed homegirl gave me my creme brulee donut, only when i got home and did the foodie split down the middle and bit it, she did not put custard in there. Dawg. i just have a dry donut with the hard sugar on top she did me dirty

Awful service. The guy at the counter was on his phone and did not care that i was standing in front of him waiting He got rude and defensive after I finally asked him whether he is working. I left without ordering.

I drove nearby lots of times but I didn't realize this donut shop was open. Finally I dropped by and gave it a try. It was a little dark inside and I think that the eat-in area was closed. But they were making lots of donuts! So many choices. I really enjoyed just watching. I picked Match green tea, S'mores and French cruller. They were all warm, soft, not too dense, I loved them. The staff was kind and answered my questions. I forgot to get an old fashioned donut. I will get one next time and update the review.

Open 24 hours and serves up fresh doughnuts all day and night - this place is the perfect spot to celebrate National Doughnut Day when you've spent all day forgetting that it was National Doughnut Day. The doughnuts are good and I have such a great appreciation for the variety that they continue to carry, no matter what time of day. Lemon-filled, old fashion, apple fritter - all tasty. There was a line at 11 PM - that's a good sign, right???

Classic Doughnut shop. TONS OF OPTIONS. It had a little retro vibe. Got doughnuts quick on a busy Sunday morning! Highly suggest the blueberry doughnut. It was fantastic.

I went into Donut Wheel 3 minutes ago (8:18 am) and the employee was making an egg sandwich for a customer and said he'd be a minute and I said "okay." Then an older Asian man came in right behind me and the Donut Wheel employee served him first. At that point, I walked out to make this yelp post and to vow NEVER TO GO DONUT WHEEL AGAIN. I am Latina, 65 yrs old, lesbian and so I think the employee saw me as less significant and took care of the male customer before me.

Of all the years I lived in Cupertino, I only recently tried donut wheel. It is your typical donut shop but I was surprised to find some interesting flavored donuts like pistachio and ube. I also ordered an old fashioned as that is usually my favorite. Of the pistachio, ube, and old fashioned, pistachio ended up being my favorite and old fashioned least favorite. The pistachio flavors were distinct while not overwhelming and the donut was nice and fluffy. For me, the old fashioned was overly glazed and way too sweet.

Used to love coming here-- there was a woman named Patricia and she was amazing. We asked where she was, and the guy at the front said she quit. They must have changed ownership or management. We hadn't been here for awhile, and we couldnt figure out what was different until later. The signs in the back are new and the layout is a bit different. Prices of the donuts are also more. It was visually appealing to see the cases full of donuts, but when we got rung up it was almost $18 for 5 large donuts and a mini donut. Donuts have gone higher in price. We used to get a lot of freebie donut holes or even a large one. No more freebies this time. We asked for a sample (it looked like they had some bite-sized samples, so I asked for one) the guy said okay-- but he actually charged me for a large one and we didn't realize it until we got home. So double check your order before you go. We came here after 10pm on a Thurs and there was a line of at least 6 people waiting. Not all change is good, sadly we probably won't be back unless there was nothing else open and we want a sweet snack.

Wow. First time here and it was life changing. I thought I had a favorite donut place in the south bay, but this place has replaced that, no competition. I feel like a good donut shop should be able to make the basic donut well. Got a half dozen glazed and chocolate glazed ($11) and they were still warm. Fluffy, pillowy and not overly sweet. You could see the bakers making the donuts by hand in the back. Service was friendly and quick. The bakery case barely had any donuts at 10pm, but you could see them cranking out so much more in the back. Open 24hrs, I could see why. There won't be any day old donuts here. I wish I lived closer, but am glad I don't. I'd be coming here everyday if I did. If you haven't tried the donuts here, go, like now. I will be back for sure. It's better than any other "famous" place and no lines out the door.

You can't buy happiness but you can buy donuts. And thats the same kind of thing. No really, donuts are a staple of American Cuisine and there is no better local donut shop than Donut Wheel. A mom and pop shop, Donut wheel offers a surprising variety of donuts to choose from. It's like candy, but for your eyes. I guess you could call it eye candy. Entering the store, you're greeted by a glass display case full of geometric shapes and frostings. Behind the counter is a friendly worker, greeting you. It's almost too much, overwhelming the eyes and my nose. I chose a chocolate glazed donut - classic but tried and true. As I paid for my order, I noticed the large menu and variety of options. I was glad that there was something for everyone. My only gripe is that the parking lot is too small. It is the remnant of a bygone era in Cupertino Lore. A time in which people walked, biked, and scootered everywhere. For that reason, I must deduct a star but don't be fooled. The quality of food is nothing short of 5 stars. A potential refurbishment could help boost the restaurant. I will be back. Mark my words.
