Came here later in the day. The regular donut style passion fruit one is quite dense and cake-like which made it dry. The cream ones are better. The ube flavor cream inside was ok-ish and the donut part was kinda like Leonard’s malasada style so it was good. The guava cream donut was more firm and little dry, but the cream cheese helped it. I wish the cream part tasted more like guava. None were overly sweet. The savory one I tried was the Caprese one. It wasn’t super flavorful. The bread softened up at home when heated but it still was kinda dense and dry. I didn’t try coffee. Staff were pleasant, but the one that helped me didn’t seem super knowledgeable when I asked questions. My total spent was $25. If you go, get one with cream.

Got the black sesame, lemon blueberry, Ube and cookies and creme. They have a lot of unique flavors, doughy texture, very pungent fillings, the lemon blueberry was my favorite! Ube was popular with my family.

I absolutely love the gourmet donuts at Bun Appetit! Their Guava Cheesecake and Chocolate Cream are my favorite flavors — rich, flavorful, and beautifully crafted. The doughnuts are fabulously designed and almost too pretty to eat. It’s one of the few true gourmet donut shops in the San Francisco Bay Area, which makes it feel extra special. That said, they are definitely on the pricey side. While the quality and creativity are impressive, be prepared to pay a premium. Another downside is that they don’t have seating inside, so it’s more of a grab-and-go spot rather than a place to sit and enjoy your treat. Overall, a delicious and unique indulgence — just plan accordingly! 🍩✨

The food is literally sickeningly sweet: we shared half a specialty donut apiece, and we've both been sick for hours, groaning with stomach aches. HOW can they shove that much sugar in one donut? WHY? The trick of this place is you gotta treat each specialty donut like a WHOLE CAKE. Then you'll be fine. WARNING: DO NOT EXCEED ONE SPECIALTY DONUT PER DAY. 🤮👈 The worst culprit was this brie cheese and wine. It was a cake filled with cream. We actually used it as a birthday cake (it cost as much as one, too, but that's another story🤫). The only specialty donut that wasn't too much (still don't exceed recommended limits) was the cranberry. This was a masterpiece. It was a perfect mix of sweet and bright flavors for the sauce, though once again stuffed with cream. Otherwise DO YOURSELF A FAVOR and skip on the tempting specialty donuts, and get something less saccharine. The Dubai chocolate has a great pistachio filling, but the rest was overall far too rich. The green tree Christmas tree green tea topping was ... green tea. As a frosting. Covering frosting. Maybe go for that other green tea non specialty donut. It took us days to eat these all, and it will be a a few years (and having a child who can eat the food) before we can manage to drag ourselves back. Next tine I have a serious donut craving and want some overly sweet American sweet, I'll just hike over to the regular donut shop: makes this sugar bomb look mild in comparison. Don't let the Asian flavors fool you: they could tone down the sugar 1000% (or use mochi dough, but that's also another story... when will Fremont finally get a mochi donut shop...).

Love their coffee! And the employees are very nice. Don’t usually get a donut. I have had a few baked items which were okay for the price. But immaculate to look at.
