Donut Designs

This place has been a stamp here in the area. I've been coming since 09 and also growing up in the area. They give good deals and very kind family business! Believe they open up as early as 4am and stay open to early afternoon which is great for those morning early birds. Highly recommended this cute donut shop to anyone!

The night before, I was craving fluffy regular donuts. I was tempted to go to a 24-hour donut spot in Oakland but decided to wait until the next morning to stop somewhere closer. Using Yelp, I found "Donut Design" with mixed reviews and decided to check it out and see what the fuss was all about.It's located in a small shopping plaza off of Washington Ave and has very compact parking spaces in front. Make sure to watch your car doors! This spot has bold, red, upper case lettering on the store front - simple and easy to read off the streets. When I walked in, I wasn't greeted by anyone or a friendly smile, instead I said "Hello!" to the worker or possible owner. That's fine... no biggie but would've added to the experience.I glance to my right and see bright yellow colored benches to sit at for dine-in and to my left are the nicely lit donut displays. You can find a mixture of original, traditional, blueberry, twists, jelly-filled, apple fritters, and sprinkled varieties to choose from. Reviews mentioned to double check pricing for accuracy. I ended up getting half a dozen of regular traditional donuts for $8.99 and pricing seemed okay. This place took credit card but based on what I read on Yelp, if you want to avoid the credit card fee, aim for spending more than $5.Excited to sink my teeth into a chocolate covered donut, the first bite was chewy but not as fresh as I had hoped, kind of stale. The flavor of the donut was okay. It could've been because I picked up donuts in the afternoon or the heat impacted the flavor, not sure. I'm willing to try this place again but may not be my first choice. Support local and try it out!

Pretty good! Picked up half a dozen donut holes, a maple bar, and a chocolate chocolate donut. Pretty soft considering it's almost 1pm! The workers are very nice and the total came out to $7.20I'd come back if I needed a donut fix in the morning.

Love this location for my donut fix! Sweet owners and donuts dont disappoint. I enjoy their donut holes and lemon filled donuts! Ample parking, indoor seating and when the fruits are in season you will be lucky to get cups of watermelon. Support this small business!

Super friendly owner and family. Been in operation for three decades. If you're on a diet, be careful LOL! The donuts here are made just right! Great way to treat yourself or a friend. I usually stop here whenever I order a sandwich next door at Bara's. Enjoy!

I love supporting small businesses and will try to make it a priority. This staple donut shop in San Leandro has the best ham and cheese croissant! It's nice and warm and the croissant is perfectly fluffy and flaky. Perfect snack I've been coming here for a very long time and the owner is super nice. Never failed me!

Family owned business located at Washington Square First time here I got a medium coffee one strawberry cake donut and one glazed donut as well as a ham and cheese croissant for $13 Venue inside is clean Customer service is friendly Donuts are tasty

The donuts here are incredibly fluffy, not too sweet, and not too oily. This place is truly a hidden gem in San Leandro and I highly recommend anyone in the area to stop by! If you are planning to only buy 1 donut, be sure to bring some cash because minimum charge to pay with card is $5.

Quality donuts at a reasonable price, these donuts are good by design! Plus, the owners are very nice. It's a well-run establishment.

The donuts were a good balance of fluffy, crispy, and sweet! They have a good variety of flavors. Highly recommend this place.
