I drove past this place and thought, "Yep... those are definitely donuts." Walked in, confirmed again-still donuts. Ordered one (for research purposes), took a bite... and I'll be honest, they tasted exactly like donuts. Mission accomplished. Found this spot on my way back from picking up my kids, and now it's dangerously convenient. Fluffy, fresh, and just the right amount of "I'll just grab one" that somehow turns into three. Nothing fancy, no overthinking it-just solid, legit donuts doing what donuts are supposed to do. Honestly, 10/10 for being unapologetically donuts. Oh and they serve sandwiches. Haven't tried it yet but will do next time. read more

The croissant sandwiches here are a 10/10. They are really huge packed with plenty of meat and flavor with all the fixings. I really enjoyed the Thai iced, however it was a little sweet but that's not a deal breaker for me . The lady taking orders was so sweet and I was really impressed on how efficient she was . She was the only one in the doughnut shop but she handled it very well . This maybe my favorite croissant sandwich I have had so far . I didn't get a chance to try the doughnuts because the kinda that I like were all so out so I'm sure they were delicious lol . I can't wait to come back read more

No frills donut shop. Good breakfast sandwiches. Did not like the donut holes, first time I've tried donut holes from a shop and hated them. My coworkers ordered breakfast sandwiches also and had no complaints. read more

Fresh and delicious donuts. Unusual cream filling - very light. Large and beautiful traditional donuts. Donuts were very fresh this morning. Neighbor next door gifted me a bunch - and even in the evening when I had another - they were still great. I'm not the biggest fan of Krispy Cream - too gummy. They are easily available - now even at Walmart - but I much prefer the more traditional type they sell here. I was in the mood for some donuts this morning and I remember even looking up different places nearby. I didn't go to my usual place today in Castro Valley because my apple fritter wasn't fresh the last time I went. Just the way things turn out an unusual turn of events this beautiful donut box ended up in my hands. So sweet Some bars, some twists, some glazed, some chocolate covered and a couple filled. Something for everybody - one plain and even one Homer Simpson sprinkle type. Unusual cream filling. I've never had this type of cream filling in a donut before. Its very light and I'm not exactly sure what it was or what it was made of. Not the biggest fan - but I didn't dislike it either. Donut bars were filled with a slit in the top instead of the more traditional injection through the side. The glaze on the tops of the donuts was beautifully done. Donuts were fresh - I think there might always be that temptation to keep certain ones around a second day - especially ones that hold up well - like apple fritters or old fashioned. I didn't try any of those here, but have no reason to believe they would cut corners. I noticed that the cooking oil also must have been very new - a super clean flavor. I think donuts are a very subjective thing. You are most likely to like exactly what your used to. I would love to try more items on the menu and will be back. read more

I was in the neighborhood looking for a Salvation Army drop box that wasn't there and I had been driving back and forth getting quite frustrated. I stopped in to Edna's to ask directions and from the helpful young lady at the counter and ended up sitting down with a delicious apple fritter and a truly awesome cup of coffee. Mind you this was at 4:00 in the afternoon when most donut shops are already closed and the coffee is old but not here. It was a truly wonderful cup of coffee and it was totally worth getting lost in the neighborhood to find this gem. I love my coffee and I would have been proud to have brewed this coffee at home! Kudos. read more

My go-to donut place as it's super close to my house. When I get my cravings of jelly donut, my boyfriend will go here to get it. They're always nice enough to make it for me. We've also tried some of their breakfast sandwiches and they're tasty and cant beat the price. The service here is quick and friendly! Can't wait to try their other items read more

Sipping on my "Thai tea" I just bought from them as I'm reading the reviews for this place. Bugs? Let me check my drink. Bam, there it was. Well, damn. Thai tea - doesn't even taste like a Thai tea and found a roach in it. Hot coffee - more like scalding hot coffee. Been holding it for 15 mins and can't even drink it (let alone hold it) Pastrami sandwich - not even gonna eat it at this point BLT - not gonna eat this either. Asked them to not put sprouts cuz photo on the menu advertised it. " oh we never have sprouts. Sandwich never looks like photo." Oh ok. False advertisement cuz I wanted sprouts on the pastrami sandwich. All items (chips and beverages) on display were expired. $28 well spent on trash. read more

Really disrespectful with there service I get it you trying to look out for your people but that don't mean act like I'm not trying to buy something . Went In Today trying to buy a donut and coffee and I guess because I'm black and they feel that they can act like I'm not standing there . I'll never recommend this place and will forever leave a negative review . read more

Best sandwiches I've ever had! I get the pastrami and cheese on a croissant and OMG I'm drooling still thinking about it. Get a sandwhich, a bag of chips and a Diet Coke and you're solid read more

Avoid buying food from here because they will price gouge you. I sent my husband in to buy 3 sandwiches and a custard filled donut and somehow the total came out to be $30. He went back in to ask how was all of this equate to a total of $30?!? They said their prices just recently went up by a dollar. I wanted their Turkey lunch sandwich again because we ordered it from them just a few weeks ago for the first time and it tasted good. However, this time will be our last time going there... and they got my order wrong this time too. They gave me a breakfast Turkey sandwich and somehow still charge us $30 for everything. On DoorDash if you order for pick up with tax it came out to be a total of $26 with the Turkey breakfast sandwich and $27 with the lunch Turkey Sandwich. So obviously they put whatever price they want when a customer comes in to order. Not a good business ethics at all. read more

Best donuts hands down!! I live a few blocks away from this shop and been in love ever since! Don't sleep on Edna's!

The food is fine but the customer service is horrible. I walk in and the guy looks at me and doesn't say hi doesn't smile just stands at the register staring at me. I let him know I placed my order on door dash and give him my name and he asked to see the door Dash receipt. When I show it to him he says he needs to see my name which door dash doesn't put. I'm the only order waiting and he just keeps pushing and insisting that he needs to see my name in the door Dash app. Finally he gives me my food and walks away. There are so many donut and bagel places, I will never come back. read more

I came here for a long time occasionally, decades, it had very good donuts. But for a while now, it seems like it changed hands, the service has gotten bad (I see a bunch of 1 star reviews). I came in in 2020 during the pandemic and they were terrible about masks and didn't care when asked, so I stopped coming for a good while. Most recently I came in for an apple fritter I think used to be about $1.65 and think I was charged $3.00, the guy unfriendly denied a price increase. Just not really an enjoyable place much. Guess it's ok for an expensive donut and not very friendly service. read more

I don't know what happened. The Donuts have been horrible for a while now. I've been coming here for a good couple of years now and the donuts used to be so freaking good. They were incredibly cheap but lately it seems the quality has dropped to match the price! The last couple of times I've been here the donuts have been so stale and dry I wanted to barf! read more

4.0 crispy donuts RATING FOR WHEN This place used be the real "ednas donuts by George" not a new basic "re-amped" "modern" still ghetto donut store. There used to be a nice Thai / Cambodian idk Asian lady and husband owner. THEY used to have CHEAP/ good basic donuts nothing fancy just THE BASICS. Anyone care to reply to what happened to the owners ? Sadly all this re-amping (new random food menu)is not doing it, stop making new items and stick the basic donuts. Crumbs: NEW REVIEW FOR THE CURRENT STORE 2.5 got a donut here the glaze didn't have the classic taste and there was a lot of dough than flavor. read more

Really good donuts. Hands down, the BEST croissants. Seriously, THE BEST. The location is a little intimidating (harmless group of day laborers loitering outside but lurking, nevertheless.) I would be remiss not warning people, especially smallish women, that it can feel a bit sketchy with a bunch of guys just looking at you. But if you expect it, then it's not so bad. DELICIOUS donuts and croissants, especially the croissants :) They are so note worthy that I'll mention them again - big kudos for the croissants! So stay laser focused, keep your eyes on the prize and not the guys hanging around and enjoy one of the best croissants you will ever taste! read more

The woman was rude! I ordered through the DoorDash app and picked it up. She had an attitude because the prices were wrong on the app and told me I needed to pay more. There were flys in the window my son informed me after we left and the cream filled donuts that I paid extra for has almost no filling... I through them away when I got home. They just were not worth it. Very sad this place was one of our favorites now we will no longer be customers. read more

Been seeing thus place for years and decided to try it since i needed to break a $5 bill for bart parking. 1st thing in the morn. No donuts really out. Just a small selection. My fav, old fashion, none out do i ask if he has any. He asks what kind and i said chocolate. I pay no mind as he grabs one from the back and bags it. I get to work and pull out the smallest most rinky dink donut I've ever seen! Very disappointing! Too many other options in the area. Donut was tasty however. read more

Edna's Donuts by George - Donuts Near Me - Hayward, California

this shop is located in a decrepit shopping complex once known as superway shopping center?. there were dozens of latino men hanging around. when i got out from my vehicle. i heard: "do you need a laborer?" i wasn't focused and i didn't think the question was directed at me. again, i heard: "do you need a laborer? now i saw the lanky young man waving at me. "no". i said, pointing to the donut shop. an asian women (chinese?) poured me a lg coffee(1.40) and asked if i wanted a donut (.65) no, i said regrettaly, looking at the large sized donuts. when i drove down w. tennyson, i literally saw hundreds of latino men idly waiting to be picked as laborers or some charged, as sex objects. where's the great economy that bush and mccain sees? i don't see it. read more

A:wesome W:onderfully great E:xtra moist centers S:eriously, you cant get any better than this O:mg... this is the coolest place ever! M:an, this place is soooooooooooo cheap! E:dnas is sooo cheap only 75 cents a donut and 1.00 for six donut holes! i would really reccomend this place. although it may look ghetto due to the many men (typically latino) looking for jobs, dont be alarmed because they are either friendly or they dont even talk but they usually wont talk to you. But the donuts are really great and always moist and soft and i actually prefer this over krispy kreme and dunkin donuts. read more

I've loved this place for years, but last time I went in and the donut case was full of flies. I told the guy and he took a paper bag and kind of waved it around in the case. Then he looked at me and asked what I wanted... I'm so sad. Gonna have to find a new place... read more

After 2.5 years.... finally stopped by here on the way to work and got a donut.... yes... the stacks and stack of day laborers outside can be a bit intimidating, but alas, it was uneventful except for the donuts, which were good.

I've been coming to this shop sents i was very little and there donuts is always fresh. not to sweet but just enough to make you want more.

This place is really the only small business donut shop we have in Hayward, so it kills me to have to give such a low rating but it is necessary. I used to go here all the time when I was a kid, and stopped due to the surrounding environment outside the place. I used to experience A LOT of harassment from bystanders. It eventually got overwhelming that I just stopped going. Recently however, my mother asked me to pick up some donuts for her, since she had been calling all morning and they did not answer their phone. This time, the harassment was filled with looks but inside of Edna's I was unable to get anything because they were out of everything at 7AM. This seemed really inconvenient because the person working could not give me any answer as to when he would get more donuts. He just repeated that they didn't have what I needed. They are EXTREMELY short staffed and need to consider hiring at least one other person, especially on a busy weekday morning. read more

Used to come here often when I was younger, stopped coming after I saw a roach go running by... Also the catcallers and other things about the environment isn't the most welcoming. read more

Tried this place today through doordash and IT WAS AMAZING!!! I wanted donuts and a good hearty sandwich. They delivered! Fresh ingredients and they don't skimp on the meat! The only feedback I have is to add more detail on Doordash about whats in and on the sandwiches. I was fine removing what was unwanted because I still like those flavors but not everyone may feel the same. All in all, I would DEFINITELY recommend this place. Really good and hits the spot! read more

There's a reason why this place has been in business for as long as I can remember. A mainstay in the South Hayward-Tennyson part of town and they have the rep, product, and service to back it up. Donuts are amazingly good. Coffee is strong, hot, and cheap. They have amazing breakfast sandwiches and small meal items to go with it. If you're asian, go play their lottery/keno games. Yay! I'm a fan. read more
