Lee's Donuts

I am a huge lover of donuts, good and bad. Been to at least 20 different shops around the bay, and this one ranks pretty damn low. It's closest to my house and if I have any time at all I'll go out of my way to a different shop.The elderly folks behind the counter are always nice to me, but are often pissy and rude with the group of guys that hang out all day buying lotto tickets. That's clearly their bread and butter, NOT the donuts. The donuts are often on the pricey side and of low quality. I want to like this place, but just can't. If downtown oakland, SF, berkeley, alameda, albany, and berkeley can make better donuts for cheaper, what is this place doing wrong? All those cities listed definitely have higher rents in nicer parts of town.Parking is always difficult, area ain't the best, but that's just oakland! No reflection on this place but might be worth keeping in mind.

Old Donuts not even from the day and on top of that they charge what they want specially if you pay with card. Lots of people don't see what they do because they don't want to give you a receipt so be careful awful place to go but lots of latinos area and they know that they won't say anything so be careful and check your orders

Lee'e Donuts is in the barrio. patrons are mostly older latinos.lee's operates in a decrepit commercial strip undergoing remodeling. difficult to get decent parking spaces as the lanes are marked terribly.pour: apffel vanilla nut(1.45)flavoring masks the usual harshness of the coffee2 starseats: sugar donut(.85)-large sized, doughy, airy.crumbs:-cheap eats-forgetable coffee-avoidable 'hood.

Delicious donuts and friendly people make this place a nice spot. Although the plaza it's located in isn't the best.

I love this place because it has everything that a good donut shop should have. They are open early, which is great for me because sometimes I like to treat my kids to a sweet treat before school or grab something sweet for myself before work. They have a great variety of fresh donuts and breakfast sandwiches at a really low price. The staff is very friendly and their coffee is surprisingly good and always hot :) see for yourself sometime.
