American bakeries range from wholesale operations that supply restaurants to neighborhood shops that sell bread, pastries, cookies and cakes over the counter, and many of them also pour coffee. Bagel shops boil and bake on site and sell out of favorite flavors by late morning; donut shops open before dawn and are often family-run; patisseries and cake studios take custom orders for weddings and birthdays and usually need one to two weeks' notice. Ice cream parlors, gelato shops and frozen yogurt bars are seasonal in the northern states and year-round in the South and on the West Coast. Prices are posted per item, by the dozen or by the pound, and most shops now take cards and mobile payment.

Francis Donuts is one of those great local family-run donut shops that makes you happy you stopped in. I came by again after bringing their donuts to an event, and people were seriously loving them. The donut holes were so good I almost didn’t make it to the event with the full box. Everything tasted fresh, soft, and delicious. I also really enjoyed chatting with the family behind the counter. The shop is run by Tony’s family, and you can feel that small-business pride when you walk in. They were super friendly and shared a little about their hours, the summer slowdown with school being out, and how they keep things going as a family business. Their usual hours are early, around 5 AM to 1 PM on weekdays and 6 AM to 1 PM on weekends, but like a lot of small shops, closing time can depend on the day and how much they sell. Great donuts, kind people, and a true local neighborhood spot. Definitely worth supporting.

This place which for a clinical error on my part I had not visited although I live within its vicinity, 1 freeway exit. It has quickly raised the bar on what a fresh/lightly crunchy/ warm/ delicious Apple Fritter should taste like. Never overcooked or dry n crunchy. So If u like a good A. F. I highly recommend, just try n leave me 1 or 2, ✌️thank you

This donut spot is a high recommend on my end. Some donut places dont serve breakfast sandwiches, this one has a big variety. Had a breakfast sandwich and it was delicious, great taste and quality. I loved it so much that I have saved it on the map, look forward to the next time.

Tony makes the. best. donuts. in. town. The cake donuts are light and tender, and the raised have a nice bite without being chewy. WAAAAAAY better than Lloyd's. Fantastic (and cheap!) breakfast sandwiches too. Love love love the #29 turkey, egg & cheese croissant. TRUST me on this one.

Best apple fritters! I've never been disappointed. I usually come here to get donuts for work or my nephews/nieces if it's early enough. I've never been disappointed. I last came here 2 days ago and I got an apple fritter and an old fashioned chocolate - both excellent.
