6 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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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. 😋“

“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“
