I'll have to make an effort to go while I'm there next week. I'd recommend Sumiya next time you're in Cupertino, it is imho better than the similar GocHi further down Homestead.

After reading this review, I had to go check it out. I got what I thought was a sour cream glazed donut (my favourite donut from Tim Horton's). It was actually glazed in caramel. Ick. I'm not a fan of caramel. So I tried to eat around the caramel, which was only on the top. And found that what I had was a greasy, stale donut. So I think I will have to try Stan's again. In the morning, and not mid-afternoon. When the donuts are not fresh, they suck. I was in Sunnyvale the other day and noticed a dingy old Stan’s donut shop.

Best bagels around. A friend of mine from Boston would bring them back to his oldtime Boston Jewish family. Then they got big, and got boring, and got bought. Don't remember when I was last in a Noah's. Benoit: I remember when there was a little bagel shop in Oakland, only one, called Noah’s. Best bagels around.

Best bagels in the Bay Area; even my friend from NYC agreed they were perfectly serviceable. Next time you’re out there, check out Saratoga Bagels (yes, I know, it’s not a doughnut).

I too preferred a cake donut, or thought I did. Until I ate a good CA donut. Have you ever considered Yelping? http://zpa.yelp.com With your missionary zeal for random places to eat, you (petes both) could really make a contribution. That whole CA donuts thing is brilliant.

Their classic donuts are great, but they also have a lot of fantastic specialty donuts. My personal favorite is a warm Memphis Mafia. An Elvis inspired banana fritter with peanut butter, chocolate and chocolate chips drizzled over the top. The signature donut is the Voodoo, a donut shaped like a gingerbread man filled with raspberry filling and stabbed with a pretzel stick. There's a maple bar with a strip of crispy bacon on top. Finally in a nod to the Trail Blazers sordid past there is the Blazer Blunt, a donut that starts the NBA season at $1.50 a pop and goes down in price every time the Blazers make the papers for something negative. There are loads of other tasty donuts there. Check them out online at http://voodoodoughnut.com/ Greg If you ever make it out to Portland, Oregon, you have to visit Voodoo Donuts.
