Hometown Donuts No 3

Nice clean donut shop. We were getting a tire repaired across the street and needed to kill some time and have a snack. Voila! Donuts. Owners were kind and helpful. It's cash only, but there's an atm inside. Nice selection of beverages and the donuts were fluffy and warm. My kid ate them faster than I could take a picture. I don't know what more you want from a donut store. But this one also has ice cream as a bonus. :)

This place was in a diverse part of town. It's situated next to a laundromat. I ordered doughnut holes and a doughnut with chocolate icing. It wasn't out of the oven fresh but it tasted sooooo good. The owner was pleasant and professional. If you're in the area, grab a doughnut.

Hometown Donuts has the usual variety of donuts, though there isn't a lot of each to choose from (actually a good sign). prices .95-1.95, mos donuts labeled and priced.eats: chocolate covered glazed donut (.95)-pretty big sized, fluffy inside, not doughy, -not overly sugared, nice covering of chocolate.-about right 4 starscoffee: "apfel"-not my coffee, passedcrumbs:-ghetto, barrio, what's the dif?-barrio has a taqueria next door.

I know donut shops. One of my first jobs was in a donut shop, and I have been at them like a bug to a light ever since I was a little kid and my dad would give me $1.35 (apple fritter + maple bar) on Sunday mornings.This is a regular go to for me. The selection isn't huge, but the quality makes up where quantity leaves off. It is the cleanest donut shop that I have ever been in, and the cleanliness comes through in the donut quality. You can taste that they are frying in clean oil, not the norm in most fry shops.As for quality, the donuts are fried or baked at the perfect time, so that the raised are light and fluffy like clouds, the crullers and old fashioned have the right amount of crunch, the fritters aren't doughy, and the cake donuts are not dry or crumbly.The neighborhood is rough. If you post up at the window, you will get an eyeful. Lot's of hookers and hustlers. Don't let that scare you off, this spot is worth stopping at if you are in the neighborhood.

I feel badly giving these nice people a bad review, but the doughnuts sucked. The people who worked there were very friendly. I stopped in on a whim before a work meeting thinking I'd bring some goodies for my coworkers. I grabbed some chocolate raised (the chocolate looked very light...looked like maple), glazed raised and old fashioned. I shared with 7 people in the meeting and the looks on their faces while eating and the amount left over let me know they were just being nice by pretending the doughnuts were good. They were dry, kind of hard and not tasty. I only give the extra star because the (Vietnamese I believe) were very sweet.

Good fresh donuts and the coffee's not bad either. The staff were very friendly as well. I'd return. Subtracted one star because they ran out of old fashioned maple.

Very clean donut store. Donuts are always fresh, they are so fluffy and never dry. They only sell classic donuts so you're sure they've perfected the recipes. If you're in the neighborhood, please try to grab a donut. They also sell lotteries, so buy a donut and try your luck.

The owners of the store are extremely kind and very loving even though the donuts aren't the best that's not the whole point of it I think the store is a quick place to drop by at in the mornings on a work day grab your coffee get your sweet snack and settle down for a little while before heading to wherever you work

Since moving from my little podunk town to Oakland, I've been on the hunt for an awesome donut shop. Thus far, this place has come the closest to filling the hole in my heart that was reserved for Gilroy Donut House. The place has ample selection. They've got krullers, cream filled bars, sprinkled bars, cinammon donuts, old fashioneds, apple fritters, twists, maple bars, croissants...I'm sure I'm forgetting some, to be honest. Today I got a cinnamon crumb donut, a croissant, and a plain sprinkled donut and they were all tasty. The croissant was buttery and flakey and awesome. The sprinkled donut could've used more sprinkles and the cinnamon crumb seemed like it could've used a little more time in the fryer. I don't know if I'm ready to give up the search for the Ultimate Donut Shop in all of Oakland but I know that this place is okay until I can find it.
