“Very Nice small donut shop! I have been visiting the Bay Area and when I get a chance, I try different donut shops. I like the Lady that runs the place because she has excellent customer service skills and she is very professional!! That is a big plus for me. I also liked the tone of her voice very unique! And if you have not guessed by now I am into tone!! LOL! Really!! I ordered donuts a bagel and coffee. The donuts were super fresh! The bagel was absolutely yummy!! It was a jalapeno bagel with jalapeno cream cheese!! She told me it is spicy and I told her I like spicy! When I got to my destination to chill and enjoy, I took the wrapper off the bagel and to my surprise there was fresh jalapeno chopped up with the cream cheese!! The smell of jalapeno in the morning smells like victory to I !! The taste was on point and the spicy just right!! Super delicious!! When you get a chance visit this establishment and enjoy! Especially you health minded freaks! Once in a while you have to splurge!! And get it, to calm the urge! On that note, have a great day and enjoy!!!“

“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!“

“While the surrounding city changed & evolved, this gem is still a time capsule of the 90s. Family owned for over 30+ years. My late father owned this shop with his brother, Tony, who still runs it today. They were refugees of the Khmer Genocide back in the late 70s. While all the trendy donuts are fun, I hope yall get to shop local for some OG donuts and support one of the few mom/pop donut shops that are still operating! 🥳“

“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.“

“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!“

“Best croissants and wonderful friendly service“

“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!“

“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.“

“Discovered this local spot with my "Too Good to Go : End Food Waste" mobile app and was pleasantly surprised. I've drove past this donut shop frequently in the past but now that I know it exists, I'll try again. The donuts were terrific and they also had some surprisingly tasty & fresh Asian egg rolls too! Both shrimp and meat!!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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“

“Definitely a hidden gem, Best donuts ever! doesn’t matter what time you come the donuts are always super soft and delicious. I love the donut holes and the fresh pressed carrot juice, very good price compared to other restaurants. Love this place.“

“It's a straight to the point donut shop. They offer a few donuts that appeal to kids or foodies. Donuts with marshmallows and with Fruity Pebbles. It's kind of expensive. It costs $12 for 3 donuts and a coffee. In LA, shops like this offer donuts for $1. I'm still giving them 5 stars because everything was great.“

“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!!!“

“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!“

“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!“

“We love this quality doughnuts the owner and the stuff is really nice and friendly my daughter loves it. Also great price.

Kid-friendliness: They gave my daughter extra doughnuts as a regular costumer! Goodjob they know to work around kids“

“The MOCHI DONUTS!! Enough said“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Very good smoothie ice coffee blend breakfast sandwich .“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“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).“

“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“

“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 “

“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.“

“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.“

“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 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!“

“Free vaccine donuts! Get vaccinated!“

“The donuts here are super soft and the filling is sweet. I had the Earl Grey and my friends had the matcha. We shared them amongst ourselves and all the donuts were delicious. The passion fruit juice was a great pairing to the donut. Will be coming back to try the rest of the flavors. They run out quick, so if you want to see their full selection, you have to be there early. Only thing is there is no seating indoors, but there are several benches outdoors where you can sit and eat.“
