Visiting my son, I came from the East Coast, looking for doughnut culture, and found everything I could’ve dreamed of at Golden Gate Donuts in Oakland. From the simply delicious glazed donuts, to the buttermilk donuts, bear, claws, custard-filled bars, apple fritters, and donut holes to their delicious and humongous breakfast sandwiches – – Golden Gate Donuts is everything I wanted and needed. I am in serious withdrawal right now. And don’t forget the twists. And the cinnamon rolls. I think I’m in a little depression now that I am back home. Please send donuts.

Not going to lie. This is one of the better breakfast sandwiches in oakland for the price. $7.50 and made to order. So many cafes trying to charge $12-15 for a breakfast sandwich these days.

The donuts are some of the best donuts in the bay area. If particular note are the cake donuts. They have incredible blueberry, chocolate and crumb donut offerings. Pricing is 10 for a half dozen and 19 for a dozen, which places this as more expensive than my other favorite, Dick's donuts.
I also enjoyed my breakfast sandwich, but again, the better one was at Lee's, because we did a taste comparison. We tried the sausage, egg and cheese breakfast sandwich on a croissant. Lee's had the better croissant and meat, GG had the better egg and had jalapenos as a welcome addition.
Best doughnuts in the area! Always fresh and my kids love them ! Service is great the ladies are always so nice!

Best donuts I’ve ever had! Highly recommend the glazed twists, apple bear claw donuts and the chocolate donuts. Their breakfast sandwiches egg cheese sausage/bacon with jalapeños on a croissant was also delicious. Note: They are cash only but have an atm machine.
Very well made donuts, best I’ve tasted in years! Great customer service and the workers are very nice and helpful
