Slikker's Donut

I grew up in the east bay but moved to SF in 2009. I never went here until June of this year. My mom lives in San Leandro and loves their donuts. She had to go into a nursing home in June and requests one donut every week so I tried some too. The donuts here are so good! Very big donuts too. My mom always wants a maple bar or donut holes. I love the buttermilk bars and apple fritters. I recently tried a sausage/egg/cheese croissant and they are amazing and HUGE!! When I eat one, I am full all day. I often get a coffee and I like the variety of coffees that they have. They have always been good. The staff have always been friendly to me so the other complaints about poor service is more a reflection on the poster than the shop. These are right up there with the best donuts I have ever had.

I frequently drive by the plaza Slikkers is in. You wouldn't know from the storefront that they'd sell anything other than lotto tickets and donuts. I started going to Slikker's during the pandemic because I found out they made banh mi (Vietnamese sandwiches) that were delicious and for a good deal without having to go to Oakland or San Jose. It was one of my go-to spots for banh mi because I didn't have to wait in long lines here compared to my other usual Vietnamese sandwich shops. Sadly, the banh mi are not as good as it used to be -- the filling is minimal and they started using chunked cucumbers and jalapenos instead of sliced.

They have a pretty decent bahn mi for cheap, around $7. I've gotten it a couple times due to convenience and price. I've had a bagel here and it was comically HUGE but just okay- did not taste fresh. I also tried a croissant, ham, egg and cheese, and it wasn't great. Croissant wasn't fresh and the whole thing just tasted average for the $8 price. I'd come back only for the bahn mis. Nice workers though, although language barrier can make it hard to understand at times.

Mom and Pop donut shops are always the best but they also have deli sandwiches and Vietnamese sandwiches, pastries and many more to select from! Service was quick, friendly and fast! Definitely a nice quick stop! Don't worry about parking there is a huge!

There was a fast-moving and short line of about 3-4 people when I got there. There doesn't look to be seating but the parking lot is big and donuts were well-priced.I ordered the maple bar, chocolate glazed with sprinkles, and donut holes - both glazed and crumb. I was amazed at how tasty the donuts were. They had a sort of crunchy texture but it was so soft inside the donuts. I have gone to a handful of donut shops in the San Leandro/San Lorenzo area and I've got to say these are probably some of the best donuts.Im impressed by the donuts we had today and will keep coming back for more. They were exceptionally delicious!And I'm happy to support a local mom and pop shop. Excited to try their croissant sandwiches and maybe their drinks next time. It's too bad they don't have Vietnamese coffee though, but looks like they do have boba drinks!

Donuts are always delicious. The Vietnamese cold coffee is really good. They have Banh Mi sandwiches that are really good. My go to will always be a breakfast sandwich, coffee and a glazed donut. They have lots of other yummy things on the menu. Love this little donut shop.

I bought a dozen donuts and the male cashier still charged me a credit card fee and tipped themselves without notifying me. I realized in my car when I was already driving away. I wonder how many times this has happened? I don't recall seeing any sign regarding additional fees. Please check your receipts. Some donuts were not that fresh as they were dry and could have been from the night before. I went at around 10am btw. The customer service was sub par. Not as friendly as you would expect for a small business in town. When I entered, the audible notification triggered but they continued to chat as they just glanced over at me. I then had to flag them down. They definitely lacked in customer service as I was not greeted nor did I feel welcomed when acknowledged. When scanning through reviews it seems others have had similar experiences. Negative stars for lack of customer service and transparency.

This is our local go-to for donuts. There is plenty of parking at this location and depending on what time you go - may be a line but it goes by quick.Location is always clean, as well. They sell sandwiches, coffee, drinks, donuts and lotto. Totally old-fashioned shop. The staff is always super friendly and I don't believe we've "met" a donut we didn't like. I really like it because in the years we've been coming to this shop, the donuts never have the old oil taste that some places do.Glazed is my favorite. Light, fluffy and just the perfect amount of sweet.

Slikker's Donuts is my go-to neighborhood bánh mi shop. It's a donut shop that also offers lottery tickets, smoothies, milk teas, sandwiches, bánh mi and more. In fact, I'd rename it Slikker's Donuts and More. Slikker's is one of those hole-in-the-wall, mom-and-pop stores that do not subscribe to the specialization business model, and, instead, offer an eclectic array of crowd pleasers, the kind of place where you can pick up a glazed donut hole and a pastrami sandwich and a taro smoothie all in one stop.Slikker's is a nothing fancy kind of place, and the prices reflect that. The báhn mi are between $5.75 and $6.25. The staff are detail oriented and get your order right. A call bell (the kind that always make me feel awkward and demanding to use) sits on the front counter by the plexiglass COVID-19 safety shield, however I've never had occasion to ring it, as the people working there are consistently attentive. Slikker's is not the place to take your favorite co-worker for a special birthday lunch, but it is perfect for a fast, tasty báhn mi to go. While you are there, fill up one of those pink bakery boxes that are lining the back counters and ensure yourself a warm welcome wherever you are headed.

The donut I got was good and fresh (old fashioned maple) the iced coffee tho DO NOT BUY! The fact that they are literally charging $4.75 for black pot coffee & "premixed creamer" LITERALLY COFFEE MATE is insane and such a scam tbh. Never ordering anything other than a fricken donut IF THAT.
