50 Best Donuts near Albany

“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.“

“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😋😘🙏🏿❤️“

“Staff member greeted me with a smile on her face and I already had a good feeling about the place. Very glad I made the effort to come to Japantown (inside the mall) for these donuts as they were AMAZING. Favourite one was the strawberry mochi donut. The yuzu lemon was very good too and black sesame. Affordably priced in my opinion too.“

“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!“

“Marshmallow fluff;) Loved the Milkbomb sandwich! Will definitely go 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 happy donut has been a staple of our tip in San Francisco. The restaurant is family run and has the most delicious menu. From the food to the drinks to the donuts, every single thing that we ordered was phenomenal. I would highly recommend stopping in to support this business!“

“THE BEST DONUTS!!!!! This little store is my favorite. It’s one of those places that’s lost out of time. Vintage digs, old fashioned prices, and wonderful owners who put love into each and every donut. Cash preferred but they accept card now“

“I have been travelling across multiple locations in the USA and San Francisco, and found the coffees to be ordinary or worse.

I highly recommend the team and business to any coffee snobs looking for a delicious Flat White Coffee at Australian standards - then these guys will measure up to expectations“

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

“An incredible array of donuts which were absolutely delicious. I had the ‘Maple Glazed Old Fashioned’ and a strawberry matcha and my dad had the classic raspberry jelly filled chocolate iced donut and a passion mango smoothie. Matcha can be hit or miss sometimes but this one was perfect. And to top off the experience, the lovely lady at the counter had some of the best service I’ve ever received.“

“Great old fashion donuts“

“Classic mom and pop Chinese bakery. The jalapeño ham and cheese roll was delicious. Freshly baked chewy dough, spicy, savory and balanced. Filling to roll ratio was perfect. Lady working at counter was nice, easy in and out. No frills quality baked goods.“

“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!“

“Fabulous donuts and wonderful service! Be sure to try the cronuts as they are the best in SF! They even have a donut the size of a large Frisbee! Unofficially, I am calling it the BHD for big honkin' donut! The shop is on Polk Street, which is chock full of eateries. So, grab a meal and then head to Bob's for dessert - you'll be glad you did!“

“I moved after alameda airbase closed I grew up around there and I was amazed to see the place was still there I love the donuts and the coffee and service is outstanding I love the friendly welcoming people just amazing places I love it the fresh coffee and donuts it’s delicious“

“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“

“Not just donuts. They have great food ready to go, polite service, and great prices. I was in and out with a full plate of fried chicken and some really good chow mein in under 5 minutes. Cost me $11. Bring some cash for the tip jar, they are worth it.“

“Their customer service is great. They're fast and accurate. I put in a 50 breakfast sandwich order and ready by the time I got there. I lovetheir turkey and cheese croissant yummy. Donuts are also good not like other donut shops selling oil. 🤣“

“The MOCHI DONUTS!! Enough said“

“Excellent Service and Food is Hot And Well Prepared!“

“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.“

“Andy's Donuts has been throwing it down for a long time in Richmond. The breakfast sandwiches are on point and recently saw they're making banh mi sandwiches now, I'll come back to try one soon. On this trip I got my normal donut and croissant fix. Their donuts are always super fresh and delicious and their croissants are soft and ginormous. FYI they started serving boba recently too. Andy's continues to be my go to place for donuts in the area.“

“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.“

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! 🍩❤️

“These donuts are delicious. They are perfect with a cup of coffee. Iwould definitely recommend getting them.“

“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!“

“Ok French toast good, eggs cold. chai latte good.
Donuts holes came on bad packaging, two got smashed had to put into cups so won't get more squishy, but otherwise ok and tasty.
Should have put into a small box instead of paper bag.“

“HERCULES is a great place to live crime rate is low compared to other cities . But it would help a lot to encourage neighborhood watch “ MODESTY ASIDE I DO . I have knocked to several houses esp when I was still working swing shift I kept my eyes open n still doing it if garages are open when I go hone from work n 1 time called the police station when 1 of the neighbor’s garage was opened n no one answered when I knocked her door . Let’s have a neighborhood watch all over “ HERCULES THIS IS OUR HOME AND WE HAVE PROTECT IT AS WELL AS THE PEOPLE WHO LIVES HERE . OUR CITY OFFICIALS SHOULD BE TOUGH LIKE ( MANILA PHILIPPINES ) MAYOR FRANCISCO DOMOGOSO HE MADE N MAKING MANILA A NICE PLACE TO LIVE IN . MANILA IS HOW MANY TIMES BIGGER THAN HERCULES !! HE WAS JUST A MAYOR FOR 7 MOS BUT MADE A LOT OF CHANGES NO WONDER PEOPLE LOVE HIM SO MUCH NOT ONLY IN MANILA BUT ALL OVER THE WORLD .“

“Love this place, they have a surprisingly extensive menu and the food is great. And it’s quick, like the food comes out crazy fast.

It’s a tough neighborhood sometimes but the folks here are kind to everyone and there’s a warm vibe. Prices are reasonable as well. Thank you!!!!!“

“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!“

“The bakery has a nice selection of fresh pastries and baked goods. Everything I tried tasted good, and the staff was friendly. The place has a cozy atmosphere, and I’d definitely stop by again. Overall, a good experience with room to make it even better.“

“The Owner is so hospitable she has such a contagious smile and her demeanor is warm and caring. She will even custom your flavor of the mochi donuts toppings if she has the ingredients. The atmosphere is nice and quiet n ot noisy at all. I will continue to patronize her when my taste bud is asking for mochi donuts.“

“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.“

“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.

Kid-friendliness: Yes

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes“

“I ordered items to be shipped to our hotel in Napa. They arrived the next day! We had shortbread cookies, croissants, and pan au chocolate. They are all fantastic! The hotel kitchen warmed them up for us which made them even better! Great service. Fantastic pastry! Thank you, Mariposa! (Wife is celiac/no cc/symptomatic and had NO issues)10 out of 10“

“Delicious and extraordinary.“

“Love this shop! The croissants are made to order with love + a friendly smile 💕🥐 we ordered the ham, egg, cheese, jalapeño croissant and it was so yummy & huge. Looking forward to exploring more of the menu. Will visit here again whenever we're in San Pablo.“

“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“

“Such a delightful donut box! The assortment was fresh, beautifully decorated, and full of variety—from classic glazed to rich chocolate, cinnamon sugar, and colorful sprinkles. Every donut looked inviting and tasted soft, sweet, and satisfying. Perfect for sharing with friends or bringing to the office

Very expensive donuts for sure“

“This place is AWESOME! Being vegan, I asked what was available. I was told the plain cake donut, the sugar donut and the crumb donut were all vegan! I grabbed a crumb and sugar and they blew me away. Absolutely wonderful. My partner, who is not vegan, got an egg and cheese sandwich that was HUGE and delicious! We also shared a lemonade that was the perfect balance of sweet and sour. I can not recommend this place enough. If not for the food, then for the excellent service. Definitely needs to be a stop when visiting San Fran:)“

“I was dying from Dunkin’ Donuts in the east coast. Finally an independent owned donut shop I can come, order, relax and even do some work/studying in. The workers are awesome. Make sure you bring cash. Debit/credit has a $10 minimum!“

“Les Croissants is such a local gem, I discovered it recently and I’m kicking myself for not checking it out sooner! Delicious Vietnamese sandwiches and my favorite iced white mocha in SF! They have a great text to order service as well and the owner is so friendly! 💖“
