Fried flour dough, if fried in fresh oil by someone who knows what they are doing, is a culinary miracle. Because it is no longer flour and water and eggs and leavening and a little salt. The frying transforms pedestrian ingredients into DELIGHT. Come to Dick's Donuts for some miraculous comfort. And, although it is true that they only take cash, the doughnuts are FRESH and delicious. My co-workers agree with me on this. This doughnut shop is in a small strip mall on High Street across from Walgreen's, just as one gets off of 580 coming east. Going west there is that whole "High Street" exit thing happening, but once you get to High Street, turn left on High and go under 580 and voila, there you are, look for the small strip mall on the right. And because this is a little strip mall, usually you can park for free. And there is a taqueria next door. The lady behind the counter was SO NICE. I went in and said "all I have is $20" since it is cash only and I only had a 20 dollar bill in the cash division. And she filled up a BIG PINK BOX with like 10 doughnuts or maybe more, I was in too much of a hurry to count them. So now I am getting crackling sugar glaze everywhere at my desk as I scarf this down and review DICK'S DONUTS. And my co-workers are walking by my office saying "thank you!" Still prefer working from home, but if you have to be there, soften the blow with doughnuts.

I've been here once or twice not sure. They lady here was so friendly and kind to me. It was good I wanted to go back but haven't really got the chance. The donuts were like good it shows how much experience they have.

Best donought in Oakland! Only draw back is cash only. Probably cause credit misuse . Their donoughts are so fresh they can be eaten the next day!

I went in because I wanted to have some munchies on hand for later in the day. The lady behind the counter gave a warm welcome and asked what I'd like. It was a small selection of baked goods but TASTY! It was easy to pick- I went for three different types of "old fashioned" doughnuts- original glazed, chocolate and maple. The apple fritter was too tempting to pass up so I got it along with an oversized eclair. I just ate a doughnut along with a good chunk of the apple fritter, which was both HUGE and delicious. Loaded with chunks of apples scattered throughout the dough. They've got some great hot dog combos, too, (not unlike those membership warehouse supermarkets)but I didn't try them. I'm definitely going back for more doughnuts!

I've been going to this establishment for years. They make great tasting doughnuts for decent prices. Try them - I'm sure you'll love them.

Good donuts. Friendly service and nice employees. I come here for the relish. I don't like relish. Not sure how relish gets on my hot dog. But it's good with chips and soda. Very affordable.

Wonderful donuts and very generous owners. They donated a bunch of donuts when I told them I was going to bring them to a homeless shelter. Very kind.
I tried the twisted cinnamon donut, and it was disgusting. It was a very hard, dry, and still gooey on the inside. I am so confused about how that was even possible. This place is a disgrace.

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.
