    Chocolate Boston creme donut filled with custard creme.
    Vi T.

    This local family-owned donut shop has been here for decades. Donuts and croissants are made fresh everyday before the crack of dawn, and some of the fluffiest donuts you can find in Alameda. Stopped in today for a chocolate boston creme and twisted chocolate bar donut. Classic and good choices!

    Here's part of my order.

    First, they are located in a mall so there's parking, which is important to me. Without a doubt, the Lees make tasty donuts. Service is what really closes the deal. A very nice polite young lady helped me with my large order. I will be back. Thanks!

    Lee's Donuts inside Neptune Plaza has probably been here for 30+ years. I used to rent an apartment across the street, and it was a West Alameda favorite already. I have never had a bad experience here. Always a cheerful hello in the morning. Donuts are fresh and delicious! Free parking in plaza lot.

    Food here is good. Service is all right. Ambience is chatter and public. Come here when you want your donut fixed.

    First timer -- and the service was amazing! Imagine an early weekend morning where it is it's busiest and your girl, Kat, is craving doughnuts She opens her trusty, dandy Yelp app and finds, Lee's Donuts. Kat enters and the place is already filled with laughter between customers and staff members. It seems like a joyous place to come first thing in the morning. She shows them a picture of a side cut view of a chocolate chip doughnut and low and behold she finds the last one from the freshest batch. It was still warm! The staff members continue to joke with her just as if she was a regular. She was told that the owner, Lee is sitting right by the window greeting each customer as they visit his store and he was. I love that this is a small town business, still thriving even during COVID. I would say 5 STARS for the service and quality of dough on the doughnut we tried. The bread was soft and fluffy. Not days old tasting like Hometown Doughnuts in Alameda. This particular type of chocolate chip donut also had a chocolate filling inside plus more chocolate chips at the center! What would make this even more amazing is a Nutella filling!!! What sets this shop above the rest is 100% the quality of customer service given. Please consider giving it a visit

    My 1st visit to Lee's Donuts. I went based on prior Yelp reviews. It was a little out of the way from work, and I wouldn't have seen it if I wasn't using Google direction finder. It is situated in a strip mall and partially hidden by the mall's facade. They have a wide variety of Donuts. I also decided to order breakfast for me and my coworker. I ordered the crescent egg and cheese sandwich. I was told the crescent oil hand made fresh every morning. The sandwich was tasty. Next time, I should add bacon or sausage. I also ordered 2 apple fritters. Every was fresh and delicious.

It was a Saturday afternoon and there were some people inside the cafe doing some work. I stopped by with my dog who was in her dog bag and the worker was kind enough to let me order my drink without having to leave my dog outside! I ordered an Iced Black Sesame Latte with Oatmilk. 10/10. Everything was perfectly balanced! The coffee flavor was there but also the sesame flavor. Super refreshing! There were also some seating outside the coffee shop. Not too many but it is still available! Overall, great and friendly service, quick service, and great coffee! I would highly recommend if you wanted a quick stop for some craft coffee!

Stay blessed everyone and go get yourself a cup of coffee from Signal (ask for Tiffany)

    I don't normally spend time writing reviews unless the service was really good or really bad. Today…read moreI was in a bit of a down mood but I was excited to cheer myself up and try this bakery. I was cheering up at the thought of trying their good looking pastries and bread and I was about to order myself a number of items. I went to order the chicken pesto focaccia and the Oldet Gentlemen at the counter was so rude. He corrected me and called it a pizza with an attitude. I also ordered a coffee and he rudely and impatiently asked me the size. This is my first time here so I was maybe a bit slower to order and know the menu names and sizes but there was only one pesto chicken thing on the menu and it's in the shape of focaccia bread. I stopped ordering anything else because the gentlemen was so rude. I will now hesitate to visit this place and will never buy anything. if he is the cashier again. I usually order a lot of different things when I'm trying new places and I like to be loyal and frequent places and always leave a tip but I will def think twice before visiting next time. Their chicken pesto was okay. The english muffins looked really good but I didn't want to purchase because of the interaction.
