We called ahead to ask if they had any more in their case, and to our surprise, they had three: apple, blueberry, and banana! We quickly made the drive and were greeted with a sweet aroma that filled the air. We decided on the blueberry and banana crumb cake donuts, blueberry fritter, and were lucky enough to try the banana fritter as well. All of them were super duper tasty. My personal favorite was the blueberry fritter since it was my first time having one. We will definitely be back to try other offerings, such as the classic apple fritter and various cronuts. The lady working, Sylvia, was so so kind. We had a nice conversation with her and she informed us that they also operate Rainbow Donuts, which we have visited before and loved. Thank you Sylvia for the wonderful hospitality! :) Come here for some of the best donuts in East Bay!

We ordered two decorated donuts (we left a note that it was a birthday, and to choose something fun), hash browns, an egg and cheese croissant, and coffee. They were having a special if you spent x amount, your coffee was complimentary or in all reality, I think it came to about .25 cents! They chose the cutest panda bear donuts as the decorated donuts, and it was such a fun breakfast vibe full of all the whimsy. They included a bag with napkins and coffee creamer which was a nice touch. And omg, the egg/cheese croissant...so good! There is truly something special about the discovery of breakfast croissants at spots that don't typically market them. (See pic) but the croissant was hearty and layered high with gooey cheese and warm egg. The croissant was warm, buttery, and it seemed like potentially put in a press. Chefs kiss, no notes. I noticed you could add meat and/or avocado, but it was perfect paired down. All in all, a food delivery gone right! Hard to come by these days, and my first time ever executing a delivery order before 7am haha. Thank you for adding to a truly special day, can't wait to visit soon!

A Five Star Review…read more Working in Berkeley for nearly six years Happy Donuts is the place to go to during my lunch break. I would get a donut here during my lunch break or after work. I will say that they do make a great sandwich that comes with a bag of chips and soda. The service at Happy Donuts has been fantastic! They know what I want to get before I say anything. They have given me the best service since I been working in Berkeley. It does tend to get busy during the morning. I have seen people ordering boxes of donuts or just getting coffee. I will say I use to order Hot Chocolate there but I now just drink Orange Juice. Keep up the good work serving people in Berkeley Happy Donuts

King Pin Donuts is a neighborhood staple! Located on Durant Avenue, it is close to the UC Berkeley…read morecampus and is a popular spot for students. This well-established donut shop is small but has lots of options. There is also some outdoor seating right outside the store. The service is quick, and the person behind the counter is always willing to answer questions. My friend and I both tried an apple fritter, and my partner got a chocolate milk. The apple fritter was crispy with a nice glaze on top and delicious chunks of caramelized apple inside. This donut was extremely sweet, but honestly it's exactly what we needed! I normally go for apple cider donuts, so this was a great alternative. It's a good place to go when friends are visiting!

A GLAZED BACK TO WINCHELL'S…read more Growing up as a kid in the 1980s my family and me would go to Winchell's on Sundays after Mass. The only donut I really like at Winchell's was the glazed as it had the lightly coated frosting yet the donut was not dense inside. Eventually Winchell's in the 1990s were later phased out by Krispy Kreme. I like Krispy Kreme because of the glazed also, but the sugar frosting can be too much. There are a lot of mom-and-pop donut shops that sell glazed raised donuts. However the glazed raised donuts at those shops tend to be dense inside. I like my glazed raised donuts with the balance between the ones I ate at Winchell's and Krispy Kreme. When I was a student at California I liked going to Kin Pin Donuts because of the butter milk bar. I came here to King Pin Donuts today as tomorrow is National Glazed Donut Day. The glazed I ordered had a lightly coated sugar frosting, yet the donut wasn't dense inside. If a glazed donut is dense I cannot order another one. I would equate this to a pizza if the crust is dense I can only eat one slice. At Kin Pin Donuts since I didn't feel bloated after eating the glazed raised donut I ordered another raised donut but this time with a chocolate frosting. What I really liked about the raised donuts at King Pin Donuts are the crispy outside. At King Pin Donuts for the raised donuts there are three textures: sweet frosting, fluffy inside, and crispy outside. How do you know if donuts at a donut shop are good? Just order a glazed or chocolate raised donuts to taste to find out if they're not dense. If a donut shop cannot bake a basic donut like raised donut, then most likely the rest of the donuts are not that good. If you are unsure what donuts to order at Kin Pin Donuts just order a raised donut.

I've wanted to try this place since I read about it in Berkeleyside, and finally made it there today. Because there were only two other people ahead of me in line I thought I could get in and out quickly. After 10 minutes of waiting and listening to the counter person making mindless chitchat and futzing around with things behind the counter and talking to the barista, I left without making a purchase. Everything looked good and I wish them well, but I'm not sure I would go back again for the sake of my blood pressure. #SloDo

I'm a huge fan of mochi donuts and also love mochi boba drinks, so I knew I had to come check Mochiholics out. Arriving around 7pm on a Sat evening, this spot was surprisingly empty. We were able to order at the self-service kiosk without a wait, and received our order pretty promptly afterwards. The prices are pretty reasonable, and I love their selection. Although we were pretty full so we did not partake of any mochi donuts that evening, we opted to share an Ube Coconut Milk Smoothie w/ Boba. My wife, who usually does not drink much boba (hence the sharing of a cup) wound up really loving the drink, and actually drank about half of it herself. The taro was fresh and very strong, and the boba quality was soft, chewy and delicious. We have easily found our new, favorite local boba spot with Mochiholics. And look forward to many more visits into the foreseeable future!
