Colonial Donuts

I had the do it!I couldn't discover that I was as parked in front of one of my favorite doughnut shops and not go in. 1 glaze in, $1.95 out!Now, it's not the tom of day for hot doughnuts but it was still good. The space was clean.The staff was chatty amongst themselves. It was a fair exchange.

As long as you go early, the donuts are always fresh and sooooo good. Mochi donuts on Friday/Sat only. Buttermilk donuts for the win.

Even though this is one of many branches in Oakland I do find that the service here is always good. The workers are pleasant and always greet me when I arrive. The place is clean and the food comes out pretty quickly. I will usually order one of their sandwiches, the club sandwich in particular. It is a (4/5) for me but I do think there are several highlights. The produce on it is always fresh and never soggy. It is hearty, so if you're hungry you will be left satisfied with the quantity of layers they throw on this thing. Pastries: 5/5. You can't go wrong here. The main attraction are the donuts and there's a reason other coffee shops will buy their donuts from colonial for the consistent quality and taste. My personal favorites are the UBE donut, chocolate sprinkle, and Oreo cookie. The maple bacon is also great after a long bike ride.

This place always has me craving donuts, and that's not fair. How am I supposed to get in shape when their fresh ube cake donuts are right there, for a reasonable price, offered by nice people, every day?I love that Colonial has a couple of outposts, and while this one is not open 24h, neither is my morning hankering. It's a perfect "no frills" donut shop open during prime donut hours (sorry, night shift folks - you'd want to head over to Lakeshore).

Been coming here for almost 30 years and it's still the same! Price increase which is expected but the doughnuts are still the same. My go-to for doughnuts and they have good breakfast croissant sandwiches too..

Nice selection. Fast service. Easy in and out. I enjoy the cake donuts. Plenty of seating.

Was walking around this shopping area and saw this donut shop across the street. I saw they had French donuts (the airy, eggy ones) which I love and decided to grab one. They have a $5 card minimum but I had cash. It was $2.75. The shop is cute, nothing stood out though. Except the lady working immediately greeted me even though she was still finishing up helping the customer before me, and she seemed very nice and welcoming!When I told her what I wanted, she confirmed if I wanted filled or not filled (I didn't know filled was an option), but I went for the classic French glazed not filled. It was delicious, soft and fluffy, just what I wanted. I would go back to get the same thing!

Hits all the marks for a classic donut shopdonut holes (I appreciate you can buy them individually at 45c ea since they're for my 4yo)many large sprinkled varietiesold fashionedglazed and non glazedmochi donuts too! and an ube one which we got.They tasted pretty fresh but the ube was really a standout, very sweet and crumbly with good ube flavor.

Nice neighborhood donut spot. Easy to grab a quick donut. Service is fast, and the donuts are fresh. I always love how the same group of people are sitting having coffee and donuts. It seems like they have been sitting there for years! Basically, just a solid donut store that has been doing it the same way for years.

I went to this location located in the Montclair area. About three weeks ago my friends and I went to the Egg Shop and then after some shopping we went to this donut shop. I wanted to treat my friends as a way of saying thank you for driving. The place was clean and spacious. The service was great, the ladies working there were willing to slice our donuts so we can each try each other's donut/ pastry. That was so nice. One friend had a blueberry donut and my other friend had an apple fritter and I had a buttermilk donut. Mine was ok, not too tasty, but not bad. My friend just raved about the apple fritter and my other friend enjoyed his blueberry donut. I definitely would want to come back if I am ever in the area to try a different donut or pastry.
