“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.“

“Came here on a whim after a long day and honestly it turned my whole evening around. Got the special and cleaned the plate, no regrets. Our waiter was funny and didn't rush us even though we lingered way too long. Definitely bringing my sister next time — she'll love it.“

“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!“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Had an awesome experiance at Johnny’s Donuts this morning. It was 5 AM on Mother’s Day and they still went above and beyond to have my order ready right on time (call a day before to give him a heads up, though you’re gonna be coming). Super friendly customer service, very welcoming people, and just a really pleasant conversation that early in the morning, which honestly made my day.

The freshly baked donut selection is amazing. You got everything from old-fashioned plain, glazed, chocolate, sprinkles, classic twists, and pretty much anything your heart desires. The filled donuts are awsome too, although sounds like those are usually made a little later in the day fresh:(

The inside is actually relatively big and comfortable, not cramped like many donut spots. One of the coolest parts is being able to see a lot of the baking process happening right there. You can tell they really care about quality seen that freshly baked one-to-one beauty laying in front of you and their customers, who are always happy!

Definetely one of the best donut spots around Lafayette.“

“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.“

“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“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“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 :)

Wheelchair accessibility: It’s spacious!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“I have been to Quality Donuts twice under its new ownership and I am very pleased with the changes they’ve made. The inside of the shop was remodeled and modernized. The old incomplete menu board has been replaced with new monitors showing everything. The number of items they offer have multiplied exponentially. Beyond the typical offerings of donuts and similar baked goods, they also have croissant breakfast sandwiches with egg and cheese and your choice of either bacon or sausage. I’ve had both and they were delicious. They are made with large flaky croissants that put the ones made by fast food restaurants to shame. The selection of hot beverages they serve has been expanded. Besides 3 types of coffee, they have 3 flavors of cappuccino as well as 3 flavors of iced coffee. They also offer frozen beverages. There’s a large variety of cold beverages in bottles and cans. Their other offerings have turned this donut shop into a mini market with a rack full of noodle cups and bowls along with chips, cookies and candies. The only thing missing is the bread pudding the previous owners made from yesterday’s donuts. Other than that, they have something for everyone.“

“I have always enjoyed vegan desserts and could not remember the last time I had a vegan donut. Until I passed by the Donut Farm one afternoon when they were closed. The place is set up perfectly for quick, satisfying stops. It has a walk-up counter with trays of freshly made donuts on full display with bright and blazing glazes, creative toppings, and just enough variety to make choosing difficult in the best way. The vibe is cool, almost ideal for grabbing a couple of donuts to get the weekend started or bringing a box to an early morning staff meeting.

The service stood out immediately. The owner was easygoing and allowed me to take my time. I never felt rushed, which made the decision process more enjoyable.

The wait paid off! I tried the salted caramel and cinnamon sugar. Both were excellent, but the cinnamon sugar stole the show. The dough was impressively light with a slight crispy fry on the outside and a moist, cakey interior. The sugar and spice were perfectly balanced, sweet without being heavy or making me feel sluggish afterward.

If you’re even slightly curious about vegan donuts, this spot delivers. The cinnamon sugar is a must. I’m already planning a return visit to try the Philz Coffee donut. Easy 5 stars for these donuts!“

“It was my first time here and was nervous but the person who attended me was patient and kind. This place gives off a warm vibe. I recommend this place for the people that don't like the cold corporate washed out aesthetic chains stores have. The only down side is that parking is a bit tricky“

“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.“

“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.“

“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 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.“

“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!!!“

“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!“

“Oh my gosh… this was the first time I tried this place and I am so sad that I didn’t know about it sooner when I was still living full-time in the area… Not only is the food absolutely delicious, but the customer service was impeccable… I have never had so much fun, ordering food and everything was delicious…10/10 recommend!“

“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“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“Super fresh donuts, yummy breakfast, best burger in town. I got raised donuts, they are big and good price. Super friendly customer service. The smoothies are amazing as well. Fresh smoothies. Free parking lots. Quiet and clean. This is my favorite grab and go. I highly recommend this store.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Ordered donuts via DoorDash as a gift for my husbands birthday while he was out of town. I included a note to have sprinkled and plain chocolate raised donut and wasn’t sure if it would actually come through in the order since I picked an assorted 1/2 dozen. They included both! My husband said the donuts were delicious and so was the iced coffee. Really happy I ordered through them, and even better that the donuts were delicious! I’m just sad I couldn’t try them myself. 😋“

“Great location for an already legendary Oakland brand. Very accommodating. I placed an order on DoorDash with the wrong location 20 minutes away from me and they helped me out and made sure I was taken care of. Shout out to Zack and the whole hyphy burger family.“

“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“
