Happy Donuts makes it fresh every time. They also have a wide variety of donuts, some I've never seen before but can verify their deliciousness! The staff is always friendly and they get you in and out quick! If you come to Oakland or live here, you should swing by!“

“Great products. I just wish I could figure out when they are actually open. Then seem to close quite a bit.“

“I go here for their croissants!!!! I'm a croissant lover. And as we know they aren't that cheap. Many places are charging you up to $5 for ONE croissant!. Well I went to try Lee's and I've haven't gone anywhere else whenever I'm in the mood for my carb treat. First their croissants are HUGE secondly, they're only $3.75! Depending on how you like you're croissants but this place for me are the best. They're not very flaky and a little doughy but I love that. As far a doughnuts I've only had their doughnut holes which were soft and fresh. And they were cheap for the dozen compared to all the other donut shops I've gone too! So if you want your money's worth I recommend coming here!“

“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!“

“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 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 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.“

“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“

“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.“

“Someone brought these donuts into work and I didn’t know who brought them or where they were from, but they were so good that I literally went on a hunt for the information! I will most definitely be visiting next time I visit friends in Oakland.“

“I’ve been a long time fan of donut farm! The new location on Adeline is awesome! They’re serving up the same delicious vegan donuts and they brought back brunch, including my go-to breakfast burrito order. I also love the apple fritter which is only made on the weekends.

“Amazing donuts and other pastries! They also serve asian cuisine. The Thai Iced Tea is awesome as well. The staff is equally impressive, very nice. Same name as other shops in Oakland, but that is the only thing similar. You have to go to the one on San Pablo!!!“

“The MOCHI DONUTS!! Enough said“

“This is one of the best and cleanest spots in town. It has everything and anything you need and want, and let me tell you, they’ve added some handy things. They’ve added chopped cheese and more menu options, as well as a wider selection of coffee. And the food! I could sit here all day and rave about how much I loved it. The items they’ve added to the menu are simply delicious. So, let the food speak for itself. Once you come and check out Home Town Shop, you’ll be hooked!“

“I wanted to take a moment to highly recommend Shalom Fast Food for anyone looking for the best breakfast and exceptional service in the area. Having experienced their offerings firsthand, I can confidently say that their food quality and customer service stand out above the rest. If you’re considering a place to enjoy a memorable breakfast, Shalom Fast Food is an excellent choice. Please feel free to reach out if you would like more information or a personal recommendation.“

“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’m not a coffee maven, but the tea and sweets were excellent. (My friends who appreciate good coffee say that it’s excellent as well.) Good service, even in the face of an exacting clientele.“
