Staff is really sweet, place is very clean, and overall vibe is very cute! The donuts are affordable and unique and they threw in a couple extra as well.

The vegan ones are insane! A few seconds in the microwave and you're welcome! Ultimate Bliss

Came in late in the day super polite staff had a small order and they popped a few extra donuts in. Super kind, guess they didn't want them to go to waste. Big tip. Great tasting donuts =)

Ordered from DoorDash and had them delivered for a sleepover. Excellent donuts - nice crisp. Very well designed and packaged. Only criticism is that the One Dozen Specialty Mix was more of a normal mix. The specially designed mix was fabulous and a real show stealer!

Best donut place in all of Berkeley! The lady working there is so sweet and kind, bought one cinnamon roll donut which was absolutely amazing -- perfectly sweet and fluffy -- but she gave me 3 more variety ones! Love this place, best bang for your buck.

Love their selection of donuts. The 1st time I'd ever had a maple bacon donut was from here and they make them soooo well! They also have some bomb drinks. A CA Lottery ticket machine in the lobby to win some money while you get your donut on.Special Note: their bathroom is exceptionally clean and well maintained.

Great donuts. Glaze and chocolate soft and not too sweet or greasy. Coffee drip very good. Service perfect. Got a shirt too with a big pink donut on the back.

When i went to the shop, they were so nice and gave me a free donut just because. The shop is very clean and a nice place to sit and eat. When i ordered from doordash another day, i only ordered two things but received a whole box of donuts for free. This was when they were closing though. I was so surprised, the people there are very nice. Amazing service and overall everything!

I can say with certainty having spent years In the baking industry... the apple fritter I bought the other morning was not baked that night...bake fresh doesn't necessarily mean served fresh... I can also say that the fritter would have been excellent if it had come out of the oven in the prior 5-6 hours... but not much more...

Leaving a review for the donuts themselves as they were brought home after a day at work by my husband. Absolutely delicious and very fresh. I love a good donut and these were by far one of the best donuts I've tried. I had the crème brûlée and the chocolate custard bar, and they were both fantastic! I can't wait to go back and try some of the different flavors. Definitely my fave donut spot in the area.

Those who follow my reviews know that I'm not a fan of donuts. I tend to lean more toward the savory than the sweet. But in a Yelp conversation w/ my friend Sadig, the subject of cronuts came up. He recommended I try them, so I did a Yelp search and discovered that Rainbow Donuts sold them. I decided to stop by on my errands today after I left Three Stone Hearth. It's right next door to Babette's and I was lucky enough to find parking almost directly in front. I walked in and there was only one other customer, a man w/ a bicycle who arrived just before I did. He encouraged me to go first because he was buying a dozen. I asked the woman behind the counter if they had cronuts and she said they did, chocolate and maple. When I repeated that, she thought I was ordering one of each, so I ended up w/ two to try, or so I thought. When I got home after completing my errands, I discovered the nice woman had also included a cake-like donut w/ what looked like confetti inside. So nice! I cut all three in half in order to taste them all. Assuming I would like the donut least, I started there, but it wasn't too sweet, w/ a very light glaze. Next I tried the chocolate glazed cronut and then the maple one. The texture was interesting and pleasing, but both the glazes were too sweet for me. I'm guessing cronuts are all glazed. I will probably scrape off the glaze on them when I have the other halves tomorrow. Since the only donuts I like are the ones, like unglazed old fashioneds and buttermilk bars, that are not so sweet, the one she gave me suited my taste. I rarely eat donuts, so I have no idea when I'll be back, but my experience today was very good.
