“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😋😘🙏🏿❤️“

“My go to spot for donuts or a breakfast sandwich. Fresh Donuts & Bagel is family owned and operated and the service is always welcoming and prompt. Some of my family’s favorites are any of the glazed donuts, old fashion maple, blueberry cake (weekends only), cinnamon, chocolate bar, and most recently their apple fritter. They breakfast croissants are large and always very tasty. They also serve lunch sandwiches on croissants and bagels. This place is smaller than most spots but they do have some dine in tables inside the restaurant and some tables outside.“

Nice stop for a quick coffee and donut on a sat afternoon after the kids activities !
The donuts are soft, fresh tasty and a wide variety

Kids got the glazed and chocolate, adults got the custard ( yum) - like Dunkin’s Boston crème
Service was friendly and answered all our questions“

“This gem of a donut shop has been open for 40 years! My family and I have always loved Ming's Donuts. They have the softest and freshest yeast raised donuts in the East Bay. Always super reasonably priced, good old-fashioned kindness and local feeling. The two ladies and their families run the shop and they work so hard and are very kind. Highly recommend!“

“Service was effortless, display was beautiful and menu items were very clearly and easily read. The entire place was very clean and well kept and the owner was very nice and friendly ☺️. The food is fantastic and there is little to no wait.“

“Literally fell in love with my first bite! You can taste the freshness and love with each donut! They also have so many croissants sandwiches and Vietnamese Iced Coffee! Owner and staff were so nice and sweet making my first time experience even better! They have a good amount of seating and made me and my kids feel comfortable and at home! Highly recommend this place and can’t wait to go back!“

“thier croissant sandwiches are super yummy. donuts are big and not too sweet and can fill you up in the morning. super nice staff and owner is the best.“

“I had the pleasure of trying the lox bagel sandwich at Fairway Park Donut Shop, and I must say it was absolutely fantastic! This hidden gem of a place knows how to make a memorable sandwich. The lox was fresh and flavorful, perfectly paired with a soft, toasted bagel. The combination of cream cheese, capers, and red onions added just the right balance of flavors. It's a harmonious blend that left my taste buds dancing with delight. The service was quick and friendly, and the ambiance was cozy. Whether you're stopping by for a quick bite or a leisurely meal, this place has got you covered. I can't wait to return to try more of their offerings. Fairway Park Donut Shop, you've won a fan in me with your delicious lox bagel sandwich. Highly recommended!“

“Best croissants and wonderful friendly service“

“The MOCHI DONUTS!! Enough said“

“Stop here early in the morning a few weeks ago. Their service was awesome. Their doughnuts holes are amazing…. Like taking a spoon full of sweet honey. And then I saw they had tamales… I got three. They are great as well, just perfect… not dry not wet where they fall apart. Perfect meat to dough mix… lol the perfect Mexican doughnut. I’ll definitely stop by more often when I’m in the area.“

“Yes so I picked up my favorite custard eclair and these amazing apple and blueberry croissant cupcake type pastries HOWEVER! Have y’all tried the Ham&Cheese on Cheese Croissant pastery?!? Omgoodness! I TOTALLY RECOMMEND FOR BREAKFAST OR LUNCH!!! Peace and Good Vibes K!“

“This review is for a DoorDash order. I didn't know I was ordering close to their closing time and so various donuts I ordered were out. They called me to offer alternative options. The owner even glazed some with strawberry for me even though they were out. and when the order arrived I even got some bonus donut holes! Excellent service. Happy donut lover“

“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 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!“

“I have been to Quality Donuts twice under its new ownership and I am very pleased with the changes they’ve made. The inside of the shop was remodeled and modernized. The old incomplete menu board has been replaced with new monitors showing everything. The number of items they offer have multiplied exponentially. Beyond the typical offerings of donuts and similar baked goods, they also have croissant breakfast sandwiches with egg and cheese and your choice of either bacon or sausage. I’ve had both and they were delicious. They are made with large flaky croissants that put the ones made by fast food restaurants to shame. The selection of hot beverages they serve has been expanded. Besides 3 types of coffee, they have 3 flavors of cappuccino as well as 3 flavors of iced coffee. They also offer frozen beverages. There’s a large variety of cold beverages in bottles and cans. Their other offerings have turned this donut shop into a mini market with a rack full of noodle cups and bowls along with chips, cookies and candies. The only thing missing is the bread pudding the previous owners made from yesterday’s donuts. Other than that, they have something for everyone.“

“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.“

“Such a great first experience at SK Donuts!
The food was fresh, hot, and cooked to order. There was about a 10-minute wait, but it was absolutely worth it because everything came out tasting amazing. The service was friendly and welcoming, and the shop felt clean and comfortable. I ordered the Bacon Egg Cheese Croissant and highly recommend it. I’ll definitely be coming back again! 🙌🍩✨“

“Got recommended here for a breakfast spot to try. Haven't been disappointed. I love the little griddle used to make. I'm pretty sure 100s of sandwiches a day for customers. It's made with love and fresh. Each sandwich one at a time. The lady who makes them she takes her time to make them correctly for each persons order, so if you're waiting a little bit, trust it's worth the wait and your pockets. No wonder it's a cross the san leandro High School. Quick and cheapest breakfast to go. Donuts are fresh as well. Great prices for all menu items here.

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes there is a ramp right next to the handicap parking spot on the premises.“

“It was my first time here and was nervous but the person who attended me was patient and kind. This place gives off a warm vibe. I recommend this place for the people that don't like the cold corporate washed out aesthetic chains stores have. The only down side is that parking is a bit tricky“

“Was my first time trying Tommy's Doughnuts and wow I am impressed! The service was amazing and quick, and very friendly. The doughnuts are absolutely delicious and fresh. The prices were great as well! Will need to stop by Tommy's again the next time I am in “

“The first spot I have been to that puts filling in their donuts. Most places u get a quarter size squirt of Cream fill or lemon in the center. There's are filled to the sides. Amazing visit. I will with out a doubt go back.“

“I was looking for a donut shop this morning. My GPS told me about Roberto's! I could not understand why there were so many cars parked in front. I now know! They have a phenomenal line of donuts and breakfast sandwiches. I saw the biggest apple fritter that i've ever seen in my life. The donuts are huge and everything is extremely tasty. I wish I had never found it. But I can't wait to go back!“

“Glazed donuts are the best! Along with all types of donuts.“

“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.“

“This spot is an absolute gem! Their donuts are always fresh, perfectly sweet, and just the right texture — easily some of the best I’ve had. But what really surprised me is how good everything on their menu is. The breakfast sandwiches are super satisfying, and their lunch options are just as solid. Whether I’m stopping in for a quick bite or grabbing something to go, the food never disappoints. Friendly service, great variety, and always delicious. So lucky to have this place in the neighborhood!“

“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.“

“Love love love! Never complain about this place once so ever. I’m finally writing a review because this place deserves it. Fresh, delicious, consistent, and most importantly friendly. Way better than Krispy Kreme 🗣️ keep it up everyone!!!“

“Came in at 4:40am had a few minute wait which was ok since I wasn't in a rush but I was meet with a GREAT SMILE n A GOOD MORNING She gave me a couple extra donut holes (Half dozen 1.75) n gave me One of The BEST JELLY FILLED donuts I've had(only 2.50) I also got an apple fritter (3.50) looks perfect I'll be warming it up at home! Overall great experience great food!“

“the food, and service will leave a ever lasting impression of " DAMN. Why, Why......... WHY DIDN'T I GET A WHOLE SANDWICH". Trust and believe, wont disappoint.“

“Elegant, delicious, truly artisan donuts. The unique flavors and beautiful products show off a love for the craft of baking that goes far beyond mere donuts. I highly recommend Doughweime for any time that your sweet tooth is active, but especially for special occasions when you want your desserts to stand out. Awesome!“

“Very good smoothie ice coffee blend breakfast sandwich .“

“Korean corn dogs are yummy! Their mochi donuts are so fluffy and delicious!! I had a tiger latte that was super good, ask for half sugar. Price was not bad too. Store could be a little cleaner though. I didn’t try yet but I heard the Vietnamese sandwich is really good“

“Love this place! I get a #5 breakfast sandwich: sausage, bacon & egg on a croissant along with any donut they have - they’re all good but my fav is maple twist or vanilla cake sprinkle. And they serve a variety of different hot coffees you serve yourself but also have a great iced coffee and Thai tea with boba that’s great too. Also, a scratcher machine and just a good vibe and helpful staff“

“I highly recommend this Donut ? Shop. When I am always in the area I stop here. I prefer Donut Express over Dunkin because the staff is friendly and so polite. I always get me a Chorizo Burrito and couple of donuts. It's so delicious and great. Please stop by and support our small business owners over the chain shops.“

“the donuts are really good, and the breakfast sandwiches are delicious. however, very expensive. I came in this morning and bought a sausage egg and cheese crossiant and 1 cinnamon twist and it was $12. Its good but i dont know if its $12 good.“

“Best donut shop around! We love Christy’s Donuts. They are always nice and have the best donuts. We tried another shop one time when they were closed and it Christy’s is hands down better. My family and I go here every weekend. Cash only but they have an ATM machine if you need it.

Parking: Plenty of parking available

Kid-friendliness: They are super friendly with the kids and let them pick out their own donuts (we have two little ones and they are very patient with them).“

“This is another location to get donuts and bagels. I’ve never been to a donut shop where it has a self-serving coffee station. Usually, staff will have to give you coffee cups. The place is small also where I came in. I kinda thought it might be quite bigger based on what I looked up online. They also serve certain pastries too, but don’t know if that’s common on other donut places.

I wouldn’t normally go here since it’s not a local restaurant, but would come here if I feel like I need to stop by here and eat.“

“I ordered original popcorn chicken (spicy) and a cookies and cream brown sugar milk tea (25% sweet) with boba. The boba was good, but the tea was still quite sweet, so will order 0% next time. The chicken was dry and chewy, so I got tired of it about halfway through and will save the rest for later.
There seemed to be only 1 staff member who was nice enough. Clean space and cute decor (very pink!), which I appreciated.“

“i judge donut shops by the quality of their plain donuts. after trying several different shops, magdali deli remains #1 on my list! their old fashioned batter is buttery and sweet even without glaze, fried to crisp perfection.

the donuts are slightly higher priced than some other places, but i believe they taste better. the espresso machine is usually broken so i go for a café con leche. i like that they sell mexican candy and snacks!“

“The food is literally sickeningly sweet: we shared half a specialty donut apiece, and we've both been sick for hours, groaning with stomach aches. HOW can they shove that much sugar in one donut? WHY?

The trick of this place is you gotta treat each specialty donut like a WHOLE CAKE. Then you'll be fine. WARNING: DO NOT EXCEED ONE SPECIALTY DONUT PER DAY. 🤮👈

The worst culprit was this brie cheese and wine. It was a cake filled with cream. We actually used it as a birthday cake (it cost as much as one, too, but that's another story🤫).

The only specialty donut that wasn't too much (still don't exceed recommended limits) was the cranberry. This was a masterpiece. It was a perfect mix of sweet and bright flavors for the sauce, though once again stuffed with cream.

Otherwise DO YOURSELF A FAVOR and skip on the tempting specialty donuts, and get something less saccharine.

The Dubai chocolate has a great pistachio filling, but the rest was overall far too rich.

The green tree Christmas tree green tea topping was ... green tea. As a frosting. Covering frosting. Maybe go for that other green tea non specialty donut.

It took us days to eat these all, and it will be a a few years (and having a child who can eat the food) before we can manage to drag ourselves back.

Next tine I have a serious donut craving and want some overly sweet American sweet, I'll just hike over to the regular donut shop: makes this sugar bomb look mild in comparison. Don't let the Asian flavors fool you: they could tone down the sugar 1000% (or use mochi dough, but that's also another story... when will Fremont finally get a mochi donut shop...).“

“Small little shop that sells chewy and soft mochi donuts, korean corndogs,and drinks. I recommend the raspberry mochinut and matcha mochinut as I find that those two are not too sweet but packs a ton of flavor. You can order with the touchscreen they have or with one of the cashiers. We also love the potato half and half.“

“My favorite place to grab some quick to-go combo plate Chinese food. You cant go wrong with any one of their choices, from their lemon chicken to spicy chicken,their teriyaki chicken to Mongolian beef, their char siu and so on, every one is cooked well and flavored nicely. Their donuts are fresh and made well also. I just love their apple fritter. Theres 2 different lines,one for donuts and breakfast items and one for Chinese plates. Its usually always crowded from the moment it opens. There are a few seats and tables inside if you would like to enjoy your food then and there.“

“Delicious donuts and hopia at a reasonable price😋“
