50 Best Donuts near Berkeley

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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😋😘🙏🏿❤️“

“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!“

“My boyfriend and I were checking out stiiizy, we were headed home and wanted some food. We stopped in because of the outside charm, the owners I believe might be husband and wife, anywho we got doughnuts, their lunch special of burger fries n a drink, plus a bacon egg n cheese bagel ( biggest bagels I have ever seen)

We don't live in El Cerrito, so it was nice to see something that has been around for almost 40 years. Bless you both, we will be stopping by again
Voted best doughnuts in El Cerrito I can see why.“

“We had the apple cinnamon vegan donut with the mint lavender oatmilk latte and it was FABULOUS. Such a soft and airy dough, with little pieces of crunchy apple inside. I’m glad we found this place on our last day, for I would have eaten way more donuts than I should otherwise!“

“Great old fashion donuts“

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

“Apple fritter size is huge and generous. It is nice.

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

“The donuts here are so fresh and nice. The donut holes are a crowd pleaser and the ham cheese and jalapeno croissants are amazing. One of my favourite breakfasts with a nice cup of coffee. The glazed and the sugar donuts are super soft

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

“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 love this place, have only tried breakfast sandwiches & donuts they are delicious. It's mom & pop shop which I prefer. I feel the love in food & customer service is always welcoming which is missing from so many places. My coworkers all ordered different food options & love them as well Thankyou all star

“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.“

“The MOCHI DONUTS!! Enough said“

“Every time I come home from college, this is the first spot I need to visit. The atmosphere in-store is spectacular, and the folks at the counter have always been lovely to me.

Vibes aside, the food is also Really good. Even though I tend to go later in the day, the donuts are always perfectly chewy (as all good mochi donuts are), and they've always got a great variety of flavors available.

The drinks are also super fun. The ube milk tea is always a banger choice, but I was pleasantly surprised by their horchata this time around! Big recommend.

Tl;dr: W place, W service, W food. I would trade all of my worldly possessions for one of their elote or potato half and half dogs.“

“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!“

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

“If your looking for the freshest donuts in Richmond, open 24 hours a day, then stop by Andy's Donuts. These Donuts are so soft and fresh. You won't regret 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.“

“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 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!“

“The MOCHI DONUTS!! Enough said“

“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.“

“We stopped here for breakfast and OMG these donuts are incredible. Good variety, we liked both their old fashioned donuts as well as their novelty ones (the campfire one was my favorite, with a dark chocolate glaze with a giant marshmallow on top). Their coffee is also very good. Overall, great stop for breakfast or a mid day snack“

“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.“

“I love the pho noodle soup, ban mi sandwiches and curry chicken with rice -- solid vietnamese dishes here. Great take out and carry away options for the busy working professionals. There is also some seating in the shop at the front by the windows, and in the back as well.“
