    Iced pandan latte with oat milk
    Sabrina M.

    Donut Petit has high quality donuts in unique flavors, good and strong coffee, and great customer service! There is seating both indoors and limited seating outdoors. I love that they also have vegan options both for donuts and coffee. My go to is an iced pandan latte with oat milk and a blueberry donut!

    The absolute best donut place, ever- not just in The Bay. If you've ever been to a Bay Area flea or farmer's market in Oakland or Alameda; chances are you've seen Donut Petit. If you haven't tried them- you're missing out. I've attached a photo with a breakdown of flavors that they offer. Even with their market presence outside of their brick-and-mortar location- each staff person is great. We prefer going to the location in Alameda as the Strawberry Flat is not usually among the selections they bring to the farmer's and flea markets where they are posted up at each weekend, or monthly depending on the market. I suggest going early in the morning, they open at 8A, but close by 1P. By about 10:30A or 11A- most of the best flavors are gone. Their donuts don't weigh you down, are made with real ingredients and aren't oily like other donut spots of the past. Their Alameda HQ is a cutest French type of vibe, perfectly branded with their signature blue. Come in, grab your favorite flavors- you won't be disappointed. I suggest you start with the Strawberry Shortcake. Finish off with Strawberry Flat, if you can get your hands on one- they are a light and airy finisher that won't leave you in a slump after consumption. Trust me, it's good.

    Donut Petit had a pop up at South Shore Center with the full display out. Donuts stacked. Prices posted. Everything looking like they were open. I walked up to buy one and the lady told me she wasn't open yet. Made no sense at all because the donuts were already sitting there ready to go. I should have trusted my first mind and kept it pushing. On my way out I figured I'd grab a few for my girl. Walked back to the stand and the lady acted like she wanted no parts of helping me. No greeting. No customer service. I asked what kind of donuts they were and she gave me the driest explanation possible like she was doing me a favor. They do have a creative style of donuts but my girl said they looked way better than they tasted. Between that and the attitude I experienced, I'll never be back.

    London Fog latte

    This is a cute neighborhood donut shop. That was worth the drive. Parking is super easy and plentiful. I took a 20-minute drive because I was in the mood for a cream Brulé doughnut. It was worth the drive. We ordered the pistachio old-fashioned 10 out of 10 the cream Brulé doughnut, 10 out of 10 and the blue berry crumble six out of 10. Whatever topping that they put on the blueberry crumble was delicious I dipped the pistachio old-fashioned in the white cream cherry on top. Will we return absolutely. I recommend that you try this doughnut shop too. they also have outdoor seating. For my drink, I chose the London Fog latte. It was a perfect temperature to indulge in right away. No need to wait for it to cool off. PS never thought we would spend over $19 for three donuts and a small latte. But here we are and I guess I'll be doing it again one day soon.

    I had a Cronut this morning. The majority is that of a croissant in a rectangular shape with a sweet filling atop the center with two berries. This was truly good. Outside the powdered sugar flew off at times. It did cost $6 but is a high quality item. I would recommend it. This is my first time here at this establishment. Also if you venture here it would be advisable to go EARLY. By the time I arrived around 9:30 am a lot of the donuts/pastries had already been taken. This shop has a nice ambiance.

    Donuts are pricier than the normal donut shop but donuts are made with more care. Pistachio donut st 4.50 is pricey for the size but it tastes really good. Short line that comes and goes and there's sitting area inside which is actually super cute although it's kind of messy because there's no extra staff that is able to bus tables.

    My favorite donut spot on the island! I've spotted them at Southshore on weekends, between Trader Joe's and Safeway. They're also available on the Too Good To Go app, where you can grab a half dozen.

    Oh my goodness, this place is amazing! The moment you walk in you're hit with the delicious aroma of fresh donuts! They have a big selection of donuts that look incredible. I got the half dozen to be able to try a variety. When you get the half dozen you get a free buttermilk donut and I opted for maple. The standouts for me were the pistachio old fashioned donut and the lavender donut. I am a sucker for pistachio anything but always hesitant as I feel most pistachio items don't taste enough like it. This donut was SUPERB, delicious and busting with pistachio flavor! The lavender one was also really good, the lavender wasn't overpowering and the donut itself was fluffy and delicious! The service was great and the cashier was so nice! I will definitely be back again!'

    Discovered these delicious donuts at the Lake Merritt farmers market when visiting recently! There were so many yummy looking ones but the staff helped me choose the best one for that day given the chilly weather. I went for the pumpkin donut and definitely was not disappointed! I got one for me and a treat for a friend to enjoy later. Such a delightful Saturday surprise.

    WHEN: Sat @10am This super cute donut shop has a wide range of options when it comes to their donuts, and they have non-donut items too! It's fun to see such unique donuts and flavors, and it may take awhile for you to decide.  But seriously, try and decide fast and not hold up the line (and keep the staff waiting), or let the next person order.   There are seatings both indoors and outdoors.  Parking may be tricky as you may need to park a bit farther down towards the neighborhood, but hey, at least it's not metered (free!) With their tier pricing systems, it's not as straight forward as it seems, since each pricing tier has its own pricing range...so it's honestly pointless, unless you are purchasing by the dozen or something.  Otherwise, just look at the donuts themselves for pricing, cuz they are VERY clear with that and I appreciate it! Here's what I had today and back in Dec: OLD-FASHIONED PISTACHIO - $3.75Easily a favorite.  The vibrant green is although pretty, it makes me a bit nervous guessing the amount of artificial coloring there is in it.  It's not nutty (no actual pistachio nuts) which is perhaps why I like it so much.   OLD-FASHIONED RASPBERRY LEMON - $3.75It's like a lemon old-fashioned with freeze-dry raspberry powder.  I like that the lemon flavor isn't too strong, and I enjoyed this one a lot.  Haven't seen this anywhere else! DONUT KABOB - $2.50The most clever thing ever! It's so much fun, it's shareable, and it's delicious! It's 5 donut holes, with pink frosting and sprinkles on a skewer.  I LOVED it! Donut Petit is the cutest donut shop I've ever set foot in, and you can tell they care a lot about their branding. So expect the pricing to be significantly higher than most local donut shops (like double) and there's tax on top of the cost.  Just a heads up. Oh and come early because they seem to sell out around noon.

    Donut Petit had a kiosk today (Saturday) in the South Shore shopping lot between Trader Joe's and Safeway. Nice surprise with a limited selection of their donuts. The kiosk currently only accepts Venmo or cash payment though. Picked up a raspberry creme cronut pastry, maple bacon donut, and pumpkin spice donut.

    This might just be the greatest donut place I've ever been to. I was not there personally for the service, but my father has said it was great. I cannot say anything for ambiance either but he said it was pretty cool.

    Ask the Community - Donut Petit

    Do any of the donuts contain peanuts?

    Do they make dairy free donuts?

    Yes, they have a few vegan cake donut options daily

    Are there any dairy free/vegan donuts for the lactose intolerant folks?

    I know they sometimes have a few vegan.

    Are the gluten free donuts prepared separately/safe for celiacs (of course keeping in mind that it's not a dedicated gluten free kitchen)?

    Fwiw they explained to me how they start with the gluten free donuts so as to avoid cross contamination. My celiac daughter tried one and had no reaction. They are mighty tasty too.

    Are you open for take out or delivery?

    Yes, Donut Petit is opened for take out only.

    What are the hours of operation?

    8 am - 2 pm

    My cousin and I stopped in for breakfast on a whim and we're so glad we did. The food selection may…read morebe small, but it packs so much flavor. Personally, I choose the Brunch-urrito and let me say it was filling and satisfying. The service was amazing as they were attentive to our needs as gave us a complimentary, freshly made, glazed donut, and that hit the spot with the coffees we had. The location is a little hidden and small, however, it small and welcoming to all. They even have an area in the back that has a wide selection of old fashion donuts. If you ever have the chance to stop in for a meal then do it. Treat yourself!

Got to try the duo eggs benedict - it has one with hollandaise sauce and another with gravy, with a side of hash browns. I liked the hollandaise sauce more than the gravy, which was a bit thick and could have more flavor. The hash browns were crispy. Nothing crazy about the dish but it was prepared well - the combo of poached egg, Canadian bacon, and avocado hit the spot. We got donuts on the way out as well - donut holes, raised glazed, twist, maple bacon, and filled donuts (they fill it to order). The donuts were fluffy, soft, and not overly sweet/oily. Would highly recommend! They gave us a cinammon roll to try as well which was very kind of them, and it was one of the favorites we tried.
