Don't drive past this place stop and grab a donut and a coffee. You will be happy you did“

“I have tried several of their donuts at the presidio tunnel tops, where they sell from a tent on the weekends. These are the best donuts I’ve ever had. They are best described as beautiful, so much so that I often think of them during the week. The blueberry, raspberry, Boston cream, Bavarian cream, and crème brûlée are all amazing! I hope they continue to maintain a presence in SF!“

“One of my favorite restaurants in the park for brunch. The donuts are delicious and the service is always so friendly.“

“My favorite spot for Vietnamese iced coffee on the island! The Egg Coffee is so creamy and delicious, a real treat.

I only wish they could open earlier and take even more of my money 😭 I can't tell you how many times I've woken up excited to pick up coffee during the workweek and realized they don't open until 10 🥹 Pleaseee consider opening at 8 or 9am 😭“

“OMG!!! Time stopped as I bit into a donut savant cronut for the very first time. I live in N. Sacramento but I am fantasizing about the next trip to #oakland. You people are truly doing god’s work here. Carry on😋😘🙏🏿❤️“

“Vegan Donut Gelato is PHENOMENAL! My wife and I loved our brief stop this week. The donuts are massive and well worth the price. Friendly service and the woman who served us was great. Highly recommended!“

“My son turned 6 while we were on vacation and a family member bought him a donut cake to celebrate, which was a new (and delightful) to us experience. A week later back home, we hosted a birthday party for him and his friends and also wanted to celebrate with a donut cake. We love Johnny's Donuts and contacted Kim to ask if they were able to do this special order which she was excited to do in spite of the fact that they had never made one before and was willing to try it out. Apparently you need special machinery to make them but we appreciated that they took on the challenge and freehanded the design!! Kim called the day before the scheduled pickup to confirm. Upon pickup, they even gifted the bday boy with his own donut and was just a delight to work with. We are loyal fans, and will be ordering donut cakes again in the future!!“

“Happy Donuts makes the best breakfast sandwiches and donuts in Oakland. I've been to a lot of places for breakfast sandwiches, I specifically order a sausage, egg, and cheese croissant. Happy Donuts makes it fresh every time. They also have a wide variety of donuts, some I've never seen before but can verify their deliciousness! The staff is always friendly and they get you in and out quick! If you come to Oakland or live here, you should swing by!“

“Great products. I just wish I could figure out when they are actually open. Then seem to close quite a bit.“

“This gem of a donut shop has been open for 40 years! My family and I have always loved Ming's Donuts. They have the softest and freshest yeast raised donuts in the East Bay. Always super reasonably priced, good old-fashioned kindness and local feeling. The two ladies and their families run the shop and they work so hard and are very kind. Highly recommend!“

“thier croissant sandwiches are super yummy. donuts are big and not too sweet and can fill you up in the morning. super nice staff and owner is the best.“

“I go here for their croissants!!!! I'm a croissant lover. And as we know they aren't that cheap. Many places are charging you up to $5 for ONE croissant!. Well I went to try Lee's and I've haven't gone anywhere else whenever I'm in the mood for my carb treat. First their croissants are HUGE secondly, they're only $3.75! Depending on how you like you're croissants but this place for me are the best. They're not very flaky and a little doughy but I love that. As far a doughnuts I've only had their doughnut holes which were soft and fresh. And they were cheap for the dozen compared to all the other donut shops I've gone too! So if you want your money's worth I recommend coming here!“

“Stopped for breakfast one morning; what a delight! Tasty filling on a scrumptious bagel. The sight of all the donuts and pastries had us vowing to return. Which we did, scoring a box of various donuts and pastries and the biggest croissants I’ve ever seen. Definitely worth a return visit.“

“Literally fell in love with my first bite! You can taste the freshness and love with each donut! They also have so many croissants sandwiches and Vietnamese Iced Coffee! Owner and staff were so nice and sweet making my first time experience even better! They have a good amount of seating and made me and my kids feel comfortable and at home! Highly recommend this place and can’t wait to go back!“

“The MOCHI DONUTS!! Enough said“

“A classic donut shop with some interesting flavors! I came here on a whim in the middle of a long run bc I needed some energy. The donuts absolutely delivered. I tried the pistachio glazed and a donut hole, and they both hit the spot. They even made a fresh batch of decaf coffee just for me (it was late). The area is a bit sketch after dark, but the donuts are absolutely worth it. I plan on returning for the ube cake donut on my next run!“

“The fruit is incredibly FRESH! The mango is ripe and sweet—the perfect honey orange color. The are generous with the ham, egg, and cheese croissant too?. The prices are reasonable and affordable!! The owners are so friendly! The atmosphere is homey. Come support this family-owned business☺️

Vegetarian options: They have a variety of fruit and food.

Dietary restrictions: They have a variety of fruit and food

Parking: Plenty of free parking. No need to worry about that just come on over.

Kid-friendliness: Extremely! They would love it :)

“This hole in the wall donut shop has the best apple fritters in the world according to my lady. I think their other donuts are great too. Make sure to bring cash and to lock your car. It is right off of the freeway. Getting back on the freeway can be confusing, but it isn't far.“

“I stopped by this morning around 10:50am, and it was just one other person inside when I got there, so my wait time was literally like a minute. I ordered the banh mi beef sandwich, Chai latte, and got two dozen of the mini doughnut balls. The sandwich was so delicious! It was spicy, too. You can get it without spicy just for your information. The Chai latte was super yummy! I got a small and wish I had gotten a large size. I'll definitely be visiting again sometime soon!“

“Amazing donuts that are fresh and soft. Their Vietnamese coffee is also to die for, but the cherry on top is the amazing staff and service. Every-time I go I am greeted with warmth and hospitality that keeps me coming. I just moved in the neighborhood and am excited to be a regular!“

“We love this quality doughnuts the owner and the stuff is really nice and friendly my daughter loves it. Also great price.

Kid-friendliness: They gave my daughter extra doughnuts as a regular costumer! Goodjob they know to work around kids“

“The MOCHI DONUTS!! Enough said“

“Ordered delivery on Door Dash. This was one of the only Donut Shops I found that also offered some lunch options. I ordered the Cajun Chicken Sandwich. It was good and had a bit of kick to it. The donuts were good and fresh. Several to chose from in their selection. Can’t wait to try out a few more.“

“Got recommended here for a breakfast spot to try. Haven't been disappointed. I love the little griddle used to make. I'm pretty sure 100s of sandwiches a day for customers. It's made with love and fresh. Each sandwich one at a time. The lady who makes them she takes her time to make them correctly for each persons order, so if you're waiting a little bit, trust it's worth the wait and your pockets. No wonder it's a cross the san leandro High School. Quick and cheapest breakfast to go. Donuts are fresh as well. Great prices for all menu items here.

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes there is a ramp right next to the handicap parking spot on the premises.“

“No frills, decent normal donut shop. I stop in a couple days a week to grab coffee and a donut after I get off the bus to head into work nearby. They usually hook it up with some extra donut holes, love this spot. From the outside and peeking in it’s not much to look at but who cares. Great donuts!! I notice a lot of people order breakfast sandwiches here but haven’t tried myself.“

“Someone brought these donuts into work and I didn’t know who brought them or where they were from, but they were so good that I literally went on a hunt for the information! I will most definitely be visiting next time I visit friends in Oakland.“

“My son wanted a cheese danish, and theirs was double-sized. Because it was big, when the server retrieved it, the thing broke. She ended up giving us a perfect one, and then included the broken one for free- a nice surprise! So we enjoyed 2 for the price of 1. Great food, great service!“

“Reuben breakfast sandwich here is delicious. I got the orange creamsicle donut to go with it. Everything vegan AND organic (which I didn’t know until the owner stopped by the table to talk to us). I’m gonna be coming back here for brunch way more often.“

“This has been a must stop for coffee and donuts for the past couple weeks. They have multiple choices for addative for coffee, including creamers and raw sugar. It is awesome they have mini versions of apple fritters and cinnamon buns. I love apple fritters, but it is hard to finish big ones. With I split them between meals or days. They also have some lunch choices and other beverages. Oh yeah, they are cash only. But don't worry, they have an ATM if you need it.“

“The MOCHI DONUTS!! Enough said“

“Came in at 4:40am had a few minute wait which was ok since I wasn't in a rush but I was meet with a GREAT SMILE n A GOOD MORNING She gave me a couple extra donut holes (Half dozen 1.75) n gave me One of The BEST JELLY FILLED donuts I've had(only 2.50) I also got an apple fritter (3.50) looks perfect I'll be warming it up at home! Overall great experience great food!“

“Amazing donuts and other pastries! They also serve asian cuisine. The Thai Iced Tea is awesome as well. The staff is equally impressive, very nice. Same name as other shops in Oakland, but that is the only thing similar. You have to go to the one on San Pablo!!!“

“My Favorite "Uncle Big John" (May He rest in peace) and My Stepdad used to always come here for coffee, donuts and good conversation since 2007... and since my uncle's passing, my step dad and my son still come here and my mom comes for the breakfast sandwiches. I come by every now and again and let me say THE BREAKFAST SANDWICHES ARE AWESOME and will put you into a food coma :-)... Definitely getting quality for the money.. And donuts are always fresh with lucky lottery tickets... Highly recommend as staff are always friendly, too.“

“Glazed donuts are the best! Along with all types of donuts.“

“the donuts are really good, and the breakfast sandwiches are delicious. however, very expensive. I came in this morning and bought a sausage egg and cheese crossiant and 1 cinnamon twist and it was $12. Its good but i dont know if its $12 good.“

“Love this place! I get a #5 breakfast sandwich: sausage, bacon & egg on a croissant along with any donut they have - they’re all good but my fav is maple twist or vanilla cake sprinkle. And they serve a variety of different hot coffees you serve yourself but also have a great iced coffee and Thai tea with boba that’s great too. Also, a scratcher machine and just a good vibe and helpful staff“

“By far the most creative and exquisite coffee drinks! Plus Pepples vegan donuts!! Danger Will Robinson...addictive And live music on Sundays.“

“As a self-proclaimed sweet tooth connoisseur, I make a point of finding local bakeries wherever I travel — and Rainbow Donuts absolutely delivered. This unassuming Berkeley spot nails the classic glazed (and if a place can get that right, you know you’re in good hands) while offering a lineup of seasonal flavor explosions that keep things fun and unexpected.

It’s the kind of place that feels local in the best way — friendly, unpretentious, and all about the joy of good donuts. Definitely worth a stop to satisfy any sugar craving while exploring the East Bay.“

“i judge donut shops by the quality of their plain donuts. after trying several different shops, magdali deli remains #1 on my list! their old fashioned batter is buttery and sweet even without glaze, fried to crisp perfection.

the donuts are slightly higher priced than some other places, but i believe they taste better. the espresso machine is usually broken so i go for a café con leche. i like that they sell mexican candy and snacks!“

“I wanted to take a moment to highly recommend Shalom Fast Food for anyone looking for the best breakfast and exceptional service in the area. Having experienced their offerings firsthand, I can confidently say that their food quality and customer service stand out above the rest. If you’re considering a place to enjoy a memorable breakfast, Shalom Fast Food is an excellent choice. Please feel free to reach out if you would like more information or a personal recommendation.“

“Small little shop that sells chewy and soft mochi donuts, korean corndogs,and drinks. I recommend the raspberry mochinut and matcha mochinut as I find that those two are not too sweet but packs a ton of flavor. You can order with the touchscreen they have or with one of the cashiers. We also love the potato half and half.“

“I’m not a coffee maven, but the tea and sweets were excellent. (My friends who appreciate good coffee say that it’s excellent as well.) Good service, even in the face of an exacting clientele.“

“My favorite place to grab some quick to-go combo plate Chinese food. You cant go wrong with any one of their choices, from their lemon chicken to spicy chicken,their teriyaki chicken to Mongolian beef, their char siu and so on, every one is cooked well and flavored nicely. Their donuts are fresh and made well also. I just love their apple fritter. Theres 2 different lines,one for donuts and breakfast items and one for Chinese plates. Its usually always crowded from the moment it opens. There are a few seats and tables inside if you would like to enjoy your food then and there.“

“As tough as it is to do be in retail in Oakland and in the area, this store is very well maintained to serve the community with :- Big selection of groceries, drinks and juices.- It serves fresh and delicious chicken and donuts.- They have a selection variety of beer and wine.- Their replenished frozen section and ice cream if great.- They have two ATM machines and a Bitcoin machine.- They also sell lottery.- On top of that they maintain a small refrigerated case of produce and cold sandwiches.“

“Longtime staple for deep fried grease cakes, having loved *right above next door on 2525 Durant—the smells of baking usually arrive around dinner time. For another late-night stint. Donuts“

“No one really knows about this wonder, but they have my favorite cappuccino on campus for $3 and if you bring your own mug you get a dollar off any drink. The pastries are also very good and inexpensive. The $3 crossiant larger than my face gets me through early morning chem lectures. You can pay with card now, but the minimum purchase with card is $5.“

“So I’ve only tried the croffles (many flavors), tiramisu and a couple of the drinks. I have to say the drinks are terrible. OK I won’t say terrible but they’re not something that I would recommend. I’ve had better drinks elsewhere. However,the croffles and the tiramisu are always delicious. I will say it does depend on who makes croffles whether you get a sufficient amount of fruit on top or not but they are very tasty. The only thing bringing me back are the desserts, well the ones I’ve tried. And like most things these days the items have gotten smaller in size sadly.“

“Was taken aback by the empty store front with signs but no displays. Idk if they’re just robbery cautious or what but visited because of locational convenience.Ordered a dozen - was ready in under 10 min Altho no status update was given and there was no staff. 5 stars for the donuts - they’re better than Mochill or any of the other competitors/places I’ve been to within the state.The glazes were really tasty and not too sweet (I got 8 diff flavors, favorite being Guava and Fruity pebbles). Donuts were super moist and springy without being greasy. It was a huge hit for the party I bought them for with both people who are mochi-nuts and ppl who’d never had them before. Definitely going back.“
