Don't miss the 007 (Sean Pecanery) and if you're lucky, they'll have a WTF (What The Fluff - peanut butter and marshmallow fluff 🤤🤤). Amazing donuts and staff!
This place rules. We've loved it since it used to be at 19th street Bart and have become loyal to the East Oakland location. A special gift are their seasonal soufganyot for Chanukah. The vanilla bean custard is otherworldly. This place is just the best.

In the land of the bland, there’s a beacon that calls, The Donut Savant, where temptation enthralls. Cron’ts that flake like a whispered breeze, Layers of dreams that aim to please.
Cinnamon twirls and buttermilk's embrace, Cream-filled wonders, a confectionary grace.
From chocolate so rich it’ll make grown men sway, to bites so tender, they melt dismay.
I’ve yet to try if the brews are divine, but their pastries alone are a heavenly sign.
So heed my words, and bring a friend too, The Donut Savant is waiting for you.

There will be a line. It's worth the wait because these are, hands down, the best donuts in the Bay Area.

Amazing unique donuts. I love the mini cinnamon rolls and tiny 2 bite buttermilk cakes. And the cronuts are to die for. Death by pastry with a smile. The only drawback is they are a no cash business which is a drag but also makes it more difficult to tip (I tip in cash - it's the only way to show you mean it.).

Such cute and tasty little donuts. Love the variety with classic flavors and some that are a little more non-traditional. Don’t sleep on the fruit jams, they are fantastic, the coffee is great too!

The best and most unique fresh handmade donuts in the bay - you’ll need to make multiple trips to try all the different varieties and catch the surprise special flavours. They are an Oakland gem!

I am a donut freak. This is an amazing donut shop for buttermilk donuts and cronuts! I appreciate that they are masters of their craft and make mini versions of their donuts and cronuts so you can have them all! Very delicious Americano and friendly service. I'm sorry I'm only passing through town but probably for the best in my case ?. If you're considering a sweet treat in the area, I highly recommend Donut Savant. I should have taken a picture but the ones provided are accurate. Clean shop too! Seating in the window.
