    Listen, I'm no donut expert. Oh wait, I've got 64 donut shop reviews in my Yelp collection of donut purveyors, so by default, I guess I am. Believe me, that escalated level of carb consumption isn't a source of pride for me, but I can't turn my head from a good donut. Dream Fluff is part of my wayback machine because it's been around since the 1980's. So have I. Well, I was a fresh-faced Berkeley alumnus when I first came upon this shop. I probably bought my share of dozen donut boxes back then and not just for me. However, time passed, and I had not returned until quite recently. Not so fresh-faced but still with an appetite for a good donut. The display case looked identical to what I remembered. Consistency can be a good thing, not just the hobgoblin of small minds. I bought a $1.75 Blueberry Cake Donut and have not looked back (Photo 3). Dream Fluff would be my porn name. DONUT - 4 stars...one donut would've led to another AMBIANCE - 4 stars...still the same old-school spot SERVICE - 4 stars...friendly, busy serving a constant stream of drop-bys TOTAL - 4 stars...it's a survivor...it not gon' give up RELATED - Exploring Berkeley? Here's my collection of places I've tried and reviewed: https://bit.ly/2CbVh8u

    bag of misc donuts!

    Classic style donut shop that gets the job done exactly how you'd like it! I love a good donut, they satisfy my taste buds for a sweet treat! Dream Fluff is a perfect spot right off of College Ave with quick service and friendly folks! Great variety of donuts that fit any craving, from blueberry cake to a classic buttermilk bar. Everything I have gotten to try here has been great! And no matter how many times I return to this shop, the quality has yet to falter. Their prices are fair for a great quality treat. Give it a visit!

    Gotta love their donuts! Dream Fluff Donuts always remind me of my childhood. People are friendly here.

    To good to go pick up
    Michelle R.

    I picked up a bag of mixed donuts for only $3.99 on To Good To Go! The bag was filled up with 8 regular sized donuts (cruller, chocolate coated, sugar, and glazed. On top there were so many donut holes. They didn't all make it home. The donuts were still soft and fluffy, no staleness. Whenever I'm up at Ashby and College, I usually stop by for 1 or 2. I'm in heaven right now.

    Too Good To Go bag of fresh donuts!! Yummy on a budget!! Thank you!!

    A Delicious bag of yummy donuts on a budget!! I used Too Good To Go app! Staff was quick & efficient!!

    glazed twisted donut
    Alicja G.

    Ordered a glazed regular donut, glazed donut twist, and a cream filled donut. The cream filled donut was light and definitely made that day. The cream filling was also good, similar to the Krispy Kreme filling but not as sweet (which I liked!). I did wish the filling was spread more evenly as the filling was filled from the top of the donut, and was mostly in the very center. The regular glazed donut was pretty standard, definitely a classic if that is what you are looking for.

    Blueberry cake donut - look at all the blueberry in there! - so moist and soft

Most recent visit I got the mint chip and coffee flavors. I appreciate that both flavors pack a punch, and taste authentic as compared to artificially flavored store bought ice cream. They serve a honey lavender flavor almost year round that is incredible. My personal favorite is the marzipan flavor served during the holidays. They don't skimp on the quality and intensity of flavor. This last visit I also asked if they would give me a single bite of vanilla ice cream on a disposable spoon for my dog, and they kindly obliged. Wonderful local spot that always brings smiles :)

The young worker was so patient & helpful with recommendations that it made the whole experience that more enjoyable. Out of the 2 samples I tried, I ended with the Meyer Lemon. Samples: Cherry Cheesecake which I thought had an icy instead of a creamy texture so I didn't choose this one. Honey Rose & I mostly tasted the honey & no essence of rose, so I decided to pass. Without sampling the Meyer Lemon bc the worker recommended this, I just chose it. The Meyer Lemon was refreshing & had a creamy texture. It was perfect with the fresh waffle cone. I'm ready to try more flavors the next time I stop by.

    Listen, I don't like giving poor reviews, but if you know my history here, credit where credit due…read more Not a berkeley guy, for starters, so idk what y'all do for milk tea but we got out of a decent dinner at Kura and wanted to get the most of our parking charge for being on hallowed Cal grounds. Gadani was highly rated, nuff said. It's got a nice interior, but most shops these days do. First thoughts are they are running a Fanloli in there, lots of cutesy stuff for sale, not common for coffeeshops, but I was excited for a banana mocha latte or honestly whatever that has banana in it, I'm all for that but it was sold out, big bummer. Second thoughts are I hate the kiosk ordering, I had to dig around for that disappointing news, tbh I feel like this kiosk nonsense just means whoever is back there gets more time doom scrolling but call me out for not loving the end of human interactions. Third thought was this is taking awhile, took about 10 minutes to get a milk tea which is a little crazy when no one else is there. Case in point for second thought because anywhere else it would half the time, are they making bead necklaces into the back? Fourth thought was when my wife said her milk tea tasted like water, which I tried and said yep it does, then she asked me if mine was bad, because I had the same order only hot, which I said, "yes it does taste like water, how did you know," to which we both say collectively, "fucking Berkeley." Normally id leave it there, but then I realized that the cup was spilling on me constantly and it actually wasn't me, the top wouldnt close so I was spilling the milk tea flavored water all over my sweater because their cups don't close properly. Listen, it wasn't a nice sweater but comon, insult to injury in a time of failure, people come to places like this to get a night cap, especially in a world where nobody young drinks. How the hell is this top of the mark, is it the ice cream? If it's the ice cream, I'm glad, because otherwise I think y'all are crazy. All that and parking was $20 bucks. Smh, why do people live like this.

There was a…read moreline out the door which got me excited because it usually means the place is good, and the reviews say the same. The only issue is there's no clear menu posted online, so we walked in completely blind. Their website shows a long list of flavors but not what they actually have that day, so it felt like a guessing game. The line moved really slow because there was only one employee handling everything. She was taking orders, giving samples, answering questions, and ringing people up all at once. She was super friendly and doing her best, but it felt like a lot for one person during a rush and the shop could definitely use more help. The space is really small and tight so it was hard to even see the flavors until we got close to the front. When we finally got up there, a lot of the tubs were already empty which was confusing since most ice cream shops restock. Some flavors I wanted weren't available anymore, and if they're out it would make more sense to just remove them from display. The dirty containers didn't make sense to display. I sampled the jasmine green tea and knew right away I wanted it. It was creamy with a smooth tea flavor that wasn't overpowering. I got a small with half jasmine green tea and half avocado. The avocado was surprisingly really good, super creamy and tasted like a fresh avocado smoothie. Both flavors weren't overly sweet which I liked. My husband wanted cookies and cream but it was sold out so he got chocolate chip instead, which was solid and creamy with good texture. Overall the ice cream itself was good, not the best I've had but definitely not bad. I like that the flavors lean more natural and not overly sweet. I could see myself coming back if I'm in the area, but the experience would be a lot better with faster service and more consistency with what's actually available.
