Family owned, the nicest people you’ll ever meet! Delicious breakfast sandwiches(get them on a bagel!) And good donuts too– this place is my favorite quick breakfast in the area by leaps and bounds

I came in this morning to try one of their breakfast sandwiches and I loved it! It was the bacon, ham and egg croissant. I picked up some donuts and donut holes too. The donut holes were fantastic. The donuts I haven’t tried yet, but they look delicious. I knocked one star off because they didn’t have signs on their trays of donuts. I didn’t know what each donut cost and there was some confusion at the register when I was getting rung up. She has to double check on a calculator. Wish they had more variety on their filled donuts and sprinkled donuts.

I went here for the first time today. I was craving a breakfast sandwich and I have drove by many times on my way to work. Today was the day I decided to stop in. Friendly atmosphere. Had exactly what I was craving which was a croissant breakfast sandwich. They have a variety of donuts. It was a nice way to start a Friday!

Worked a graveyard shift. Picked up my daughter. Decided to treat her to a donought. Show up at «manleys» notice i didnt include the doughnut. Becuase neither did they. Show up 930am and there no doughtnuts left. Offered to sell us leftovers from yesterday. Very disapponted. Fuck this place. Should of went to safeway cheaper. like i had planned.

Very friendly staff. Delicious donuts. The breakfast sandwiches and strong Vietnamese coffee hit the spot every time. Highly recommend!

Great donuts at a great price… seriously be careful or you might need a donut intervention staged by friend and family. My only knock on this place is that they are not open late into the afternoon.

Woke up this morning with a HUGE donut craving. Stopped by this place since it was so close to my house. I’ve driven past if several times but never been inside. Cute little shop. Greeted right away by a friendly lady. My favorite donut is the glazed cruller and they had some! Taste-wise: super delicious and not oily like most places and airy. Thanks for satisfying my donut cravings! Will be coming again!

Friendly female employees in this small establishment, down the road near the hills. it’s a small place with some places to sit in the adjoining area. Lots of selection still at late morning before noon, including doughnut holes, croissants, flaky pastries and more. I got a sugar twist for a dollar. Not exceptionally sweet – some might even call it dry, but great flavor and texture, plus a nice coating of sugar. Worth a stop!

I treat myself to Manley’s about twice a month and I always order the sanwhiches, so good and cheap usually $ 3.75 plus $ 1.25 coffee, full breakfast for under $ 5 bucks. The family is really nice and is always fast.

Mmmm I was raving donuts and got the donut holes and a white sprinkle to share with the little girl I was watching. I also was craving an egg and cheese croissant and boy was that the hit for me! I did not even want to eat my donuts and I wanted another sandwich, but alas!, I was already driving away. I am sad that the guy charged me the same price for my sandwich that includes bacon, but I opted for no bacon. :(

Super nice owner and good prices. They carry regular donuts, cake donuts, donut holes, and a few rotating specials. The glazed and the cinnamon are delicious. I’m not a big fan of jelly donuts but I appreciate that they fill it on the spot so it’s fresh. Skip the sugar one because they use a sugar that is a little too fine. It taste like it’s inbetween a powdered and granulated.

Finishing up at the Chiropractor I was craving Donut’s so headed here. Nothing like being poked and prodded then having your back cracked to really make you feel like you deserve a treat! When we arrived we found parking easy to find right out the front of the store which is fairly small in size with some seating inside. The display cases were filled with about 10 different varieties of Donut so we picked out 8 along with a Cinnamon Twist and Apple Fritter which came to $ 10.20. I didn’t see the tiny little sign that stated that a dozen is $ 8.50 until Hubby mentioned it when we left which was a shame as we would of ended up getting more of them same price. Oh well. less to eat is a good thing, I guess. The Donuts were ok, nothing amazing. In fact a couple of them(sugar coated, regular glazed) had kind of deflated so it wasn’t very fluffy but they satisfied Hubby’s and my craving over the next 3 days. The Cinnamon Twist( ) was my favorite — light, fluffy with just the right amount of delicious Cinnamon. The Apple Fritter( ) was also very decent with lot’s of Apples inside. They also serve Breakfast Sandwiches and Coffee, staff were friendly.

Basic donuts. The custard is that standard instant pudding/dental flouride tasting stuff a lot of places use(I’ve only found a few that actually make their own custard filling). The donuts I got were a bit on the oily/overcooked side on the outside, but the centers were decently soft and the icing was ok. Friendly little place.
We tried: * glazed french donut, * chocolate iced custard filled donut * glazed donut holes

I had high hopes for the donuts at this Manley’s location, but unfortunately, we just had an average experience. However, the lady who helped us(I think one of the owners) was super sweet, and I can see how this would be a great place to stop by for breakfast if you live in the neighborhood. We got the Custard Filled Donut Holes( ) which were pretty good, and full of custard. The lady actually went out of her way to make them for us since they had run out, but since they weren’t super busy at the time so she was able to make extra. We also ordered an Original Glazed and a Glazed Crueller, which weren’t as good as the filled donut holes. The glazed was just average, and needed a little more chew to it. The crueller was really eggy tasting, and just wasn’t good. Overall, I might come back if I were in the area, but wouldn’t go out of my way for this Manley’s location.

My wife just arrived with a bag of donuts and éclairs. It’s made in heaven. The dough is soft and light and the cream is balanced. The regular glazed has the right amount of sweetness and it’s not overloaded with sugar.

5 stars for the cream filled donut hole. Delicious fatty goodness in the cream that only enhances the flavor of the entire donut. 3 stars for the regular donut hole. Tastes like any plain fried piece of dough. 1 star for the chocolate donut hole that tastes exactly like a Hostess good, with the solid tasteless chocolate glaze over tasteless bunched up flour. Better than Krispy Kreme in that it’s not über sweet. But overall a pretty average donut place.

Step1: You are about to savor a delicious treat at Manley Donuts. But do not eat your donut in this establishment. The sad«strip-mall» décor(or lack of) will suck some of the flavor out of your fried doughy snack. If you are going to eat here,(not recommended) for the sake of the donut, please close your eyes and imagine a cozy coffee shop. Step 2: bring your donut to work or home and heat it up in the microwave for 18 seconds. It’s important to eat your donut while it’s warm and also to sip an acceptable cup of coffee(which cannot be found at this establishment.) Step 3: You are likely to become addicted to these donuts – so get here early. The afternoon selection sucks, but the donuts are always«same-day». Please don’t take the last cruller – those are my favorites! Important note: you do not need to be a man to enjoy Manley donuts. Cash only.

I hate to screw up their nearly perfect 5-star score, but my husband and I weren’t blown away by Manley’s. The donuts were fine, but not off-the-charts amazing. What is right about this place: + It’s a friendly mom-and-pop shop. + It’s not Krispy Krap sugar and air. + It has sandwiches and fresh bagels. + The donuts are pretty good. I asked if they use shortening, and yes, it appears they do. Boo for trans-fats.
