Royal Donut

Coming from a family who use to own a donut shop, I'm a bit picky on my donuts. They have to have the right texture, taste, and level of sweetness (which is not too sweet). I tried both a glazed donut and chocolate glazed from Royal Donut and they met my donut standards.Upon entering the donut shop, I was immediately greeted by the owner. He was very friendly and you can tell he came from a hard working background. During this visit, I also ordered a Vietnamese Iced Coffee and Thai Iced Tea. As the other reviews have said, the Vietnamese Iced Coffee is great. He even asks you how sweet you want it (which I rarely get asked!)I will be returning in the future for my donut cravings and Vietnamese Iced Coffee!

People raved about the Vietnamese Coffee at Royal Donut so I figured I'd give it a shot while having a couple donuts. The Royal Donut is located in a busy location in Daly City, but it's worth the trip especially if you want to go grocery shopping too at the Ranch 99. The store is definitely old fashioned, but the customer service is friendly and patient. The only downside is that they only take cash and I was lucky enough to have enough cash. Two donuts and a Vietnamese Coffee made my total $12.85 with most of the damage to my wallet being from the coffee.It was a pretty good Vietnamese Coffee though. They also asked what sweetness level I wanted which is definitely nice. I opted for regular which honestly is perfect to me. I enjoyed my drink a lot and you can see your drink being prepared in front of you. I also felt like pigging out on some Maple Bacon Donuts and a Glazed Donut. The bacon may not have been crispy, but it really tastes great with the maple donut. Both donuts were so good. They were soft and fluffy on the inside. I'm surprised I haven't tried this donut shop sooner. Definitely one of the better donut shops I've been to in a while.

Delicious donuts that delight the taste buds, paired with outstanding customer service and a warm, inviting atmosphere. Our family has cherished this place for over 30 years, starting with my husband's father, then my husband himself, and now our son looks forward to our weekly visits here. Each time, we enjoy the comforting familiarity and joy that this beloved spot brings to our family. The absolute best part about this place is the owner! Thank you for always being so warm and caring towards my son. We really appreciate it!

This donut shop has been run by the same man for years, and he's always got a smile on his face that's sure to brighten your day. The donuts are consistently fresh and delicious!

Donuts and coffee!!Yum. I crave a donut once in a while and out of the blue so I found this place and saw my yelp friend, Dean, try this place so I had to too!First impressions, lots of donut varieties! Owner is super nice! ** we got: - Vietnamese coffees: tasted a little like hazelnut. I like it buts it not how I usually like it made (I make mine at home) but still very good! 3.5/5 stars - maple donut: WOAH. Definitely something that's worth trying. I wish the bacon was crunchy tho :(. But sweet and savory! What a combo - banana donut twist?: recommended by the staff and yum!! I'm craving it right now :( Definitely coming back soon for some donuts! So light and fluffy as well

By far my favorite donut shop! The banana bear claw, raised glaze, and maple bars are my personal favorite. I love that the donuts are a good level of sweetness, and not overwhelmingly sweet! I recently discovered this donut shop after doing some grocery shopping nearby and I couldn't be happier! I've been recommending this spot to other people and sharing donuts as often as I can!

So I have to admit, I didn't really like the famous banana bear claw. But I think that was entirely my fault.In my head, I had been picturing an actual bread-based pastry, with some banana flavoring in it. With nuts on top.I have no idea why. It's pretty clear from the pictures exactly what you're getting: a glazed donut, shaped like a bear claw, with a slab of ripe banana on the inside.So here's what I'll say: If that's what you're expecting, you're really going to like this. You might think it's a little bit sweet but you're going to like it.I also got a simple glazed yeast donut for my wife, who is a connoisseur of such things. She said it was probably the best glazed donut she's ever had.And, yes, the lady who works at the donut shop is super nice.I'm planning to go back and get more regular donuts that I actually want and leave the bear claws to you folks who actually like bear claws.Quick Tip: It's easier to enter the parking lot from the Southgate Ave side. You'll be closer to the donut shop and not have to navigate as much of the treacherous parking lot.

The donuts here are delicious! My favorites are the maple custard bar (chocolate one is good too), crumb raised, and banana bear claw. The owner is suuuuper friendly and treats every customer like an old friend. Cash-only but totally worth it. Ambiance is no-frills, but it's a no dine-in kinda place so not much to expect there. If I weren't watching my health, I'd come here every day!

Best donut guy ever. Plus the donuts are great. Nice snack on a rainy day with coffee was sorely needed.

Owner is such a nice guy. Greets each customer with a smile. Great tasting donuts as well.
