I have to agree with others, with the new owners this quality went down BUT it’s still decent or good even. I just wish the previous owners had handed them their recipe.

Donuts were DELICIOUS. Light and fluffy. Not sure what the negative reviews are about but this place was great.

Great job of carrying on the tradition of the previous owners! The family who bought the shop are so sweet, and after a couple of visits, they remembered what we like! Their donuts are delicious, and they added some new tastes, like the maple with bacon.. yum!! Plenty of filling in their maple bars also, to my partner’s delight! If I could give more than 5 stars I would. Welcome to Alamo💖💖

New owner's ok so you expect some changes but I had to throw away your cake like donuts.

Very average flavors/textures. Such a shame because the prior owners (until 2024) did such an amazing job.

When this was great donuts it was the best donut chain in the east bay. Now that they have changed ownership to Dainty Donuts, the quality and taste of the donuts have gone down hill while the prices have increased. If you’re expecting the same donut quality as great donuts be prepared to be disappointed.

New owners took over and this place has changed completely and definitely not for the better. Donuts are not as light and fluffy as they used to be and the quality has decreased yet the prices have increased. If you expect the same quality and hospitality as the old Great Donuts, prepare to be disappointed

I don’t like to give average reviews… but I totally agree with the most recent reviewer’s disappointment. I absolutely loved this place as “Great Donuts”, but the new ownership’s donuts are unbelievably forgettable. Apparently the old owners retired. Which is wonderful news for them.. but I beg you to please come back and teach the new owners how to make your fluffy donuts 🍩 🙏🏻.

The Dainty Donut Factory was at our Outdoor Summer Series this past weekend and the donuts were fantastic! There was a line to buy donuts before they were open. The community loved them and we appreciate that they were here for us! I would absolutely recommend them and will ask them to return in the future!

Really enjoyed our donuts. Reasonably priced and very fresh. Nice family business.

I live in TX and only eat donuts when I can get them from here while visiting family. Great place, not a lot left like this!
Best donut shop in the area!
Always fresh and crunchy.
Perfect donuts.
