AMAZING glazed donuts!!! The donut holes are definitely not as good though and all their other donuts are good but not as mind-blowing as the glazed donuts! Cash only though they take Venmo and Zelle Friendly service

These donuts are always fresh, and never make me sick like some other shops do. The service is great, and he is always so friendly.

Good donuts and ambiance - it looks and feels like a donut shop. Rough area and cash only. Came here around 9am as I walk through the door to the sound of a very harsh buzzer sound - I had already been awake for hours but had somehow managed to wake up all over again. Its was like the sound of some horrible alarm clock of an annoying roommate. The horror. Oh the horror. At the time I walked in there was every kind of donut still available. I hear the tiny sweet voice of a lady behind the counter. It was in sharp contrast to that horrible horrible sound I had endured earlier. like filled ones. Its like a little surprise when you bite in. I carefully study all the round filled ones and can make out all the various fillings. I'm like a donut detective and didn't need any help. Anyway if I did need help don't think I'd get any as I didn't understand half of what that sweet lady was saying. I'm not complaining - I'd rather have sweet and not very helpful than nasty and perfect English. I whip out of my pants a credit card. "Cash only." That I understood perfectly. I told her I didn't have coins and I seemed to instantly have my price negotiated down to the nearest dollar. I sit at the counter with my self serve coffee and donut I put lots of creamer in my coffee as it protects ones enamel. Tooth care is always a top priority and if I can neutralize acidic coffee with some dairy I always will. Besides if I'm consuming something sweet its all the more important. I don't necessarily feel the need to put all my dentist's children through college. As I gaze out the window I notice all the graffiti and rough surrounding areas. Some real tough looking people. Then I take a look a the lotto machines. I remember on the news the Lotto Fever with Powerball and super Lotto both reaching nearly a billion dollars. I see some scratcher tickets in front of me. Cute dog and cat with a little hat. I like that. Probably won't be my go to place although the donut and coffee were both very good and a fair value. I was really aiming to go to Donut Savant but checked and saw they were closed on Tuesday. Thank you Waze app. One day soon I will have to try that snobby donut place.

Donuts are delicious. Inside is kind of funky and old and not very attractive.

I love this little mom and pop donut shop in Oakland. The service is great, I call in my order before I pick up. They sell lotto tickets and the atmosphere seems to be local people that knows the cashier. It's definitely my favorite place to buy donuts in Oakland!

This place has more lotto scratchers than donuts. They had a wide enough donut selection to impress my kiddo. We stopped in to waste some time before our hair appointment. Service was friendly and the donuts were great. Nothing special about the inside except the waterfall of lotto tickets behind the cashier.

It's allllllll about the donuts here. Great guy behind the counter whenever I've been, and some of the best donuts in town. Check them out!

It's your typical doughnut shop.....I would appreciate the doughnuts having an option to be warmed or kept warm. Outside of that it's pretty spacious, ample parking. Located in the "temescal " neighborhood of OAKLAND. My favorite doughnut was the chocolate glaze twist. I tried others and they were okay. Very decent pricing though. Staff was decent.
