Most amazing lemon donuts I've ever had Boston cream pie ones are divine as well Mustard try the churros donuts as well Pricy but well worth it Only downfall is they are closed on Mondays when a donut is most needed

This place is a hidden gem..I love it! There is no other place like it. My go to morning must! My favorites are the pecan, the lemon and the creme brûlée..
Always a treat to snag a dozen of their little delights on my way or out of Oakland. plus, even their black coffee is delicious. nicely roasted and flavorful. Try everything :).

Not your ordinary donut shop. They have unique flavors and the donuts using croissant dough are delicious. There's usually a wait but it moves fairly quickly.

Donuts are definitely the best in town! Cute lil dog friendly place in the Laurel/Allendale district. There was an employee who gushed over my frenchie while we were there. Always friendly service. If you haven't had a cronut you will not regret the decision. My favorite is the salted caramel! This delicious box plus a latte for around $30 including a generous tip. I just love this place!

Very tasty cronuts! Staff is always very friendly! Just wish they were open everyday. Also, they have a weird tendency to sometimes be closed on days they're normally open. No way of knowing this until I've walked the three blocks from my house to their door. Very disappointing when you've had your tastebuds set on glazed cronuts!

Love this place. Some of the best donuts ever. The bat area doesn't have many great donut shops, but this is one! They have incredible flavors ?. My fav is the creme brulee or the lemon ?. Though any is gonna be Great. My only complaint is that i shouldn't eat donuts everyday! This shio is truly a gem. If you need high quality donut action, stop in now! ?
These donuts are delicious. Small, but tasty. The only negatives is the lack of seating and their cash-only policy.

Donuts are extremely small for the price. $3.50 for a Boston Cream and I believe $2.25 for a vanilla cronut. Vanilla cronut was salty and chewy. Where was the croissant lightness? Boston cream was very chewy. Over rated and over priced.

These are such tasty little tidbits. They are small enough into you can order a taste of many different flavor profiles and not have had to much. My favorites are the Croissant based donuts, like the saltef caramel and Maple, although the filled ‘Jane’ with its not too sweet creamy custard filing was delicious. A little on the pricey side but a real treat. I also like the coffee offerings. I am a ham of the new Orleans style coffee which contains Chicory. Reminds me of sitting at Café Du Monde. If you are in the area it is a worthwhile stop to make.

I was a regular when donut savant was on Broadway; a “go to” place. But pandemic hit and the whole block was emptied to I guess condos. I had time on my hands so I looked it up and found my way and am so glad. Luckily at 10 am they weren’t sold out so o got my favs- maple count and apple fritter. I bought some for my friend to try.I don’t work at the Kaiser Center and moved to El Cerrito but darn I’ll drive to the shop when I need a fix!! So glad I found them
