“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!“

“Some of the best donuts in the bayarea and the owner's are very nice people. Love there range of variety. There jelly filled donuts keep me coming back.

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

“The brown sugar iced latte was smooth and delicious, and there was a bit of syrup/sugar at the bottom of my cup that kept the flavor even to the very last sip. The brown sugar flavor was mildly sweet, making the latte easy to drink. I also sampled the brown sugar boba milk tea, and the boba elevated everything. It made the tea even more delicious. The boba were firm and chewy and added even more brown sugar sweetness to the latte. Came a bit late in the day so the dine in area was nearly empty. The clerk was helpful but not especially engaged. Eager to try a few more things on the menu.“

“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!“

“Hands down the BEST fresh donuts and variety in LaMorinda area. The donuts are fresh ALL day, too! Kim’s wonderful, friendly attitude make the donuts and Vietnamese Coffee taste all the better. The best apple fritter I’ve ever had. Try Johnny’s and you’ll never go anywhere else for donuts again. 😎“

“I went in here to get an iced coffee and I saw the donuts - I really wanted the Maple cronut but I always get that when I get grown nuts. But then I saw the bear claw. I love the shape cuz it definitely looks more like a bear claw than I normally see them. Subpar donut shops. Oh my God, it is a vast bear clock I've ever had in my life. I couldn't even get to the Apple filling because the crunch and the exterior. The crust was the journey into the Apple goodness and it was so moist inside but still had that texture, Hugging that Apple for your life waiting for someone like me to gobble it up. To grow up the counter was super friendly and I asked her what's in her coffee cuz she was smiling the whole time. She was adorable. But the Asian guy next to her also working on her was hot as heck. ;) I'll definitely come out here just for the donuts and next time I'll try the cronuts they offer. This is the best. Don't stop and all the bait are at and I've been here since 1996. ❤“

“The BEST Korean fried chicken in Hayward. Hands down. It's tucked away in a safe and quiet neighborhood, and truly a gem.

I visited this family owned place today thanks to my daughter seeing their food on Tik Tok. I ordered the Korean fried chicken, the galbi meal and jap chae.

Literally everything was delicious. Great portion sizes for a fair price. A plus is that I met the son of the owner and we chatted for a little bit about their history. Very kind people. For sure I'll be back to support.“

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

“I wish I had a dozen of mings donuts right now. I don't drive so it's difficult for me to get to Ming's Donuts last time I had when I worked in the area but freshly deep fried donuts at 9:00 am in the morning. Can't remember what time they open it was definitely after work when I have one“

“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 had the chance to try Ros Donuts today, and everything was delicious!

The dozen included such a great variety of donuts, and each one was fresh, soft, and just the right amount of sweet.

My favorite was the ham pastry. The pastry and ham went perfectly together, and it paired so well with a cup of coffee. It was so satisfying that it made the perfect lunch.

I especially loved the texture and the balance of sweetness—it was exactly my style. Everything tasted fresh and made with care.

On top of that, the owner is incredibly sweet and kind, which made the whole experience even better.

Highly recommend!“

“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!“

“I moved out of the bay 4 years ago and I still carve this place every day. I have gone here since I was 5 and have watched it change over time but they still have the absolute best ham and cheese croissant. The Thai tea and doughnut hold are so good as well. Still want to make a trip back soon for this place.“

“The MOCHI DONUTS!! Enough said“

“The MOCHI DONUTS!! Enough said“

“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.“

“Classic donut shop atmosphere. Service is next level and their donuts are soft, moist and delicious. I got sugared and glazed only. Nothing to hide behind, and it’s the best I’ve had in the bay. Bobs donuts actually feel dry in comparison and I was here at like 4:30pm on a Saturday.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“I've been going here for a while now.Tbt (truth be told)I really only get to go here when I come into town from up north, but I can definitely say it's a whole new atmosphere in there&has been compleetly upgrade very well. Felt like a whole whole new place that was redone very nicely. Great job guys y'all moving up in the world for sure!“

“These are THE BEST donuts I’ve ever had! I’ve loved everything I’ve tried, but I’m a simple girl and always judge a donut shop by its glazed donuts and maple bar—and Happy Donuts absolutely exceeded my expectations.

The donuts were incredibly fluffy, perfectly sweet with that delicious sugary coating on the outside, and just downright delightful. I took a dozen home, and I’m amazed that they were still just as delicious the next day!

The family who owns and operates this place is also incredibly kind and welcoming, which makes the experience even better. Thank you, Happy Donuts, for making such amazing donuts! 🍩❤️

“Stopped by Happy Donuts and had a really good experience. The donuts were fresh, soft, and had a nice variety of flavors to choose from.

The shop has a casual neighborhood feel and the service was quick and friendly. Great spot for a morning coffee and sweet treat“

“Our first stop in Oakland, and first morning in California for my co-travelers. Perfect California donut shop vibes. Warm and attentive service, accommodated vegan wishes well (just ask for no dairy for smoothie/coffee!)
Donuts were amazing.
Sandwiches came out steaming hot. Highly recommend if you’re looking for warming respite from chilly Bay mornings!“

“So this is the best food in oakland. This is my hidden gem that only the locals know and go to often. They are so nice, the food is awsome with such fresh produce. I dont eat donuts here despite the name though I have had them and they are good. But any of the sandwiches: Philly cheese steak, BLT, Hotlink, etc they are the best. Go here if you want a real authentic everyday oakland food.“

“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.“

“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.“

“The best vegan donuts in the area!! No matter how polite and simple a question (such as "Will x type donuts be available tomorrow?"), sometimes the person at the counter has a unnecessarily complicated or passive aggressive response. Relax😄I'm not going to fet mad if you say no or I don't know. Happened more than once, with different people“

“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!“

“THE FRESHEST DONUTS AND HOMEMADE ICE CREAM EVER, GRADE A+++++++ ABSOLUTE 💯🙏😱 DELICIOUS EXTRAORDINARY ABSOLUTE 💯...MY FAVORITE PLACE, NOT FAR FROM WHERE I LIVE...USED TO BE JUDY'S AT EAST 27TH AND FRUITVALE AVE ...WAS KRISPY KRUNCHY FRIED CHICKEN, BEFORE THAT PIZZA HUT, BEFORE THAT WINCHELL'S DONUTS BACK IN THE 1970-1970S! LIVE WITHIN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD ALL MY LIFE ...WENT TO MAZANITA ELEMENTARY SCHOOL CIRCA 1972-1977! SO...I'VE BEEN HERE A GOOD LONG WHILE...!🙏😱💖😁😉“

“I LOVE THIS PLACE!!! I’m a regular customer here. Though I’m a minor, I usually don’t feel judged or small when I go here alone. Nobody asks where my parents are and they give me service. The donuts are yummy! I recommend the long custard filled one and… THE UNICORN 🦄. Sometimes the area is a bit chaotic and I’m sometimes scared easily, but VERY WORTH IT FOR THE FOOD!! I have a waitress who I really like and am friendly with, and I like other servers as well. Though sometimes they get the order wrong, usually they don’t and even give me extra donuts because I’m a cute little kid!! Not that little but whatever. Anyways I really recommend this place. It’s amazing!“

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

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

“Came in today because I was craving a donut or two and cravings satisfied :)

Pricing was reasonable for the sizes of each donuts.
Definitely will go back when I get another donut craving

“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!!!“

“For starters, we beat the rush lol. Heard good things about this spot. The service was exceptional, and the music was blastin’ ! A vibe for sure. The food was really good. Lots of flavor, cooked to perfection. I would give the burger a 9.7/10 only because they forgot my pickles 😂
The fries were crunchy and not oily, which is a plus.
Lastly, the establishment was clean.
We will definitely be back.“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“This is one of the best and cleanest spots in town. It has everything and anything you need and want, and let me tell you, they’ve added some handy things. They’ve added chopped cheese and more menu options, as well as a wider selection of coffee. And the food! I could sit here all day and rave about how much I loved it. The items they’ve added to the menu are simply delicious. So, let the food speak for itself. Once you come and check out Home Town Shop, you’ll be hooked!“
