22 Best Donuts in Oakland

“OMG!!! Time stopped as I bit into a donut savant cronut for the very first time. I live in N. Sacramento but I am fantasizing about the next trip to #oakland. You people are truly doing god’s work here. Carry on😋😘🙏🏿❤️“

“Vegan Donut Gelato is PHENOMENAL! My wife and I loved our brief stop this week. The donuts are massive and well worth the price. Friendly service and the woman who served us was great. Highly recommended!“

“I went in here to get an iced coffee and I saw the donuts - I really wanted the Maple cronut but I always get that when I get grown nuts. But then I saw the bear claw. I love the shape cuz it definitely looks more like a bear claw than I normally see them. Subpar donut shops. Oh my God, it is a vast bear clock I've ever had in my life. I couldn't even get to the Apple filling because the crunch and the exterior. The crust was the journey into the Apple goodness and it was so moist inside but still had that texture, Hugging that Apple for your life waiting for someone like me to gobble it up. To grow up the counter was super friendly and I asked her what's in her coffee cuz she was smiling the whole time. She was adorable. But the Asian guy next to her also working on her was hot as heck. ;) I'll definitely come out here just for the donuts and next time I'll try the cronuts they offer. This is the best. Don't stop and all the bait are at and I've been here since 1996. ❤“

“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!“

“The MOCHI DONUTS!! Enough said“

“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've been going here for a while now.Tbt (truth be told)I really only get to go here when I come into town from up north, but I can definitely say it's a whole new atmosphere in there&has been compleetly upgrade very well. Felt like a whole whole new place that was redone very nicely. Great job guys y'all moving up in the world for sure!“

“Stopped by Happy Donuts and had a really good experience. The donuts were fresh, soft, and had a nice variety of flavors to choose from.

The shop has a casual neighborhood feel and the service was quick and friendly. Great spot for a morning coffee and sweet treat“

“Our first stop in Oakland, and first morning in California for my co-travelers. Perfect California donut shop vibes. Warm and attentive service, accommodated vegan wishes well (just ask for no dairy for smoothie/coffee!)
Donuts were amazing.
Sandwiches came out steaming hot. Highly recommend if you’re looking for warming respite from chilly Bay mornings!“

“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.“

“So this is the best food in oakland. This is my hidden gem that only the locals know and go to often. They are so nice, the food is awsome with such fresh produce. I dont eat donuts here despite the name though I have had them and they are good. But any of the sandwiches: Philly cheese steak, BLT, Hotlink, etc they are the best. Go here if you want a real authentic everyday oakland food.“

“Super fresh donuts, yummy breakfast, best burger in town. I got raised donuts, they are big and good price. Super friendly customer service. The smoothies are amazing as well. Fresh smoothies. Free parking lots. Quiet and clean. This is my favorite grab and go. I highly recommend this store.“

“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.“

“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!!!“

“For starters, we beat the rush lol. Heard good things about this spot. The service was exceptional, and the music was blastin’ ! A vibe for sure. The food was really good. Lots of flavor, cooked to perfection. I would give the burger a 9.7/10 only because they forgot my pickles 😂
The fries were crunchy and not oily, which is a plus.
Lastly, the establishment was clean.
We will definitely be back.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“
