Happy Donuts is a place you can easily make a regular visit out of. Theyre raised donuts are unlike any other! I would even say that theyre my favorite donuts ever! The staff is friendly and makes sure everyone has been helped. Breakfast sandwiches are fresh. Once you order them they start cooking it. I ordered the ham and cheese croissant. It was the perfect temperature. The cheese was nice and melted. The croissant was just the right amount of crisp yet still soft enough. Highly recommend for morning trips.
This place is the best. Everyone who works there is always really cool. Great donuts and they make the best breakfast sandwich by far. Fresh made to order, they literally crack and whip your eggs right in front of you. Most shops microwave powdered eggs, not here! They making your breakfast sandwich on a cast iron right in front of you. Can’t be beat!
Good doughnut and coffee shop.Good hot coffee and beverage.
Place is Always Clean! & DONUTS are ALWAYS GOOD TO GO! Great Customer Service! Nice People here! Good HotSpot Spot!!
I should hate this place because they make it impossible for me to think I can cut donuts out of my diet. Theyre better than other donut shops by far. I even showed up a half hour before closing and a fresh batch came out of the oven! So light and delicious that my self control didnt stand a chance!
Had a line of patrons as I walked in but the employees there remained happy and happy to see us. They took our orders and within a few minutes we were all walking out happy as can be with breakfast orders, donuts, cold drinks and coffee. Delish too!
Friendly Customer service. Donuts are fresh and delicious. Big variety. Jalapeno bagels with cream cheese are awesome!
Best donut shop around. You gotta try the breakfast sandwiches, unmatched!!
Best donuts in the Area. Fresh all times of the day. Looks yummy and always has something new. They also stay open all night and you usually can get a sample of something yummy there. I love the chocolate with sprinkles and I get the donut holes for my son and this is also the only place that I eat cinnamon rolls from because we usually I dont even like them. I definitely recommend stopping here whether you live in the Bay Area or youre coming to visit
Tasty donuta and not expensive.
Excellent donuts, an exceptional costumer service, and the best lucky place to play lottery.
Long time favorite in Albany. I like to grab a dozen on the way to work. Fresh and delicious. Family run business.
Really good breakfast sandwiches and donuts
I stop here in the Morning and the donuts were super fresh. Man thought I died and went to donut heaven. 🔥 fire if your looking for that sweet tooth stopper look no further. You got to come here. Dont forget to tip to show much you support them. Or buy a dozen. Lol 😆 🤣 I bought 2 dozen.
Love it, love it, love it. Every Sweet Delicious Bite..Been going to Happy Donuts since I was a kid when my father brought me there on his route working for A.C.Transit and now im 55 and still cant resist the Delicious Taste of Happy 🍩🍩🍩..
Best donuts I’ve ever had.
Been coming here for almost 20 years. Good service, great donuts, they do bagel and croissant sandwiches too~ they have a parking lot, which is always nice... Open 24 hours but limited hours during pandemic.
Good Customer service. Very Hard working Girls. Donuts 🍩were very delicious. My family loves it
Totally satisfied my maple bar and donut cravings
Great service and fresh 🍩
Somewhere between here and there...I ended up in the East Bay.And I found this place.Its all about the bear claws...
Fresh donut every day 😋
Ive been searching years for a local donut shop that is comparable to my favorite from childhood. So happy to have finally found one. And if Im being honest I may like this one more since they have AMAZING unique flavors like blueberry, red velvet and buttercream. Great spot and you cant beat the hours!
Ive been a faithful customer of Happy Donuts for almost 8 years. The family are very hard working friendly,courteous and one of the best in there league. I love em,always tasty and milk nice and cold.
BAD EXPERIENCE WITH THE LADY ASSISTANT! If there is zero star to choose, that will be what I want to give her!!! TOO BAD!!!
Best donuts in the area! They also have delicious cake doughnuts and other pastries!
Great place for fresh hot breakfast and donuts. They have nice friendly staff. The hot chocolate is good too. They have hand sanitizer for their customers.
Yummy fresh donuts. Lots of variety to choose from!!
A great local spot that is open 24 hours! Its very clean, great service and of course, great donuts!!! They make GREAT breakfast sandwiches too! With fresh eggs, bacon and cheese on toasted croissants or English muffins. Yummy! They are so GOOD! Very friendly folks there is a TV, you can play the lottery, check your tickets, have some good coffee and have a laugh with the regulars that come in and out. There is a clean bathroom for the customers. If you miss your bus, its a safe place to sit and relax. LOVE Happy Donuts.
My favorite donut spot ✨🍩
Yah, the donuts must be pretty happy because they taste so good, but the I think the real happy ones are the customers. I was here because my other favorite favorite donut shops were closed for the day, before it was even 5PM. Wow, display case is packed with glistening, fresh gumminess. I could hardly even see the twists I had on my mind, but when I hesitantly asked about cinnamon, the proprietor pulled one out with a fiendish look of pride as my mind reeled with relief and joy. Luckily I had taped my mask to my face which kept my jaw from hitting the floor as he held it up with his tongs, rotating it back and forth slightly for my inspection. Oh, yes, please! There was something like six pots of coffee on tap and he mentioned at least four varieties - I had already looked and they were all mostly full and fresh looking even as evening approached and my large size cup did not disappoint. He even gloved up to handle filling my cup! Fast and efficient with the usual X pattern on the floor and all the other customers becoming quiet and cooperative as they, too, fell under the spell of the donut fumes. You can see from this review what that cinnamon twist and the follow-up chocolate buttermilk item did to my mind. My doctor would be upset if he ever finds out, but Im going back tomorrow. Its not my fault; its been over two weeks since Ive had a donut of any kind. I do love my twists at my regular place, but Im going to be unfaithful again.
I love it out here !! The seller is so nice ! I love the location and enough parking! I would go here again !
Great place good respectful people best donuts in the bay love this place everyone needs to go stop by for a pastry and a soda pop
Always Fresh GREAT STAFF
Hours are incorrect on Google -- I called today and confirmed they are open until 10pm. Hours on Yelp are up to date.
The place is good 👍and clean the only thing is that doesnt have the donuts I love ☹ maybe another day...maybe
Great selection offresh donuts. Bakery inside was very clean staff were also great.
The best donuts I have had in years
Nice selection and coffee. Enjoyed my chocolate frosted devils food
Nice place with fresh donuts and friendly staff
I love this happy donuts, its the best. The staff is always friendly no matter what time you go, but my friends and I usually go at odd early morning hours in the middle of the night, and the gentleman that works there at night is such a nice guy. Always a great experience there. Plus the donuts are awesome.
Used to have the best donuts and decent prices but Im sure over a decade the rent has probably gone way up & price reflects that. Have a feeling its the oil quality thats gone down. Still better than Krispy creme though;)
Love this place, staff is cool and the donuts are fluffy! Locally owned. Hours have been reduced for Covid.
Always having the Fresh Donuts for sale. Ive yet to purchase a stale one. And they always seem to sens you away with lil extra. Due to Covid New Hours are from Mon. - Thrs. 5 - 10 pm. & Fri. - Sat. 5 - 12 am.
It really doesnt matter who you are, when you are in this shop, you are inside their home and you are family. Sip on your coffee, youll be pouring your own. Grab a bite, watch the game on the TV, and join in to the conversation. This is Albany in a room. You might match some numbers or scratch a ticket, but stopping by for a few minutes is the winning bet.
I love happy donuts. Theyve been open 24/7 since before I was born and have never failed to deliver delicious, mouth-watering treats. Its hard to encapsulate all that is divine about this place. It is a true salt of the earth establishment, whose weathered but welcoming shell is reflected in their donuts crispy exterior and feathery interior. Few experiences compare to an early morning or midnight affair with a chocolate cake donut, the icing still aglow with the ovens heat. Happy donuts sits innocuously at the welcome corner of a strip mall on an altogether forgettable tract of San Pablo. However, should you find yourself passing through Albany, this place is worth the visit.
Mmmhhhmmm go to spot
Nice clean store, friendly employees that are very helpful. Messed up on my order for fried prawns so offered me extra free of charge....also they sale propane refills and new tanks.
Happy donuts is awesome not only because theyre open 24 hours but they have dam near every tablet donut you can think of plus they also serve normal food as well the guys dont always speak English but they know how to sort their donuts personal favorite would be raspberry filled but they also have drinks and lotto tickets if youre taken a break or just one or relax for a while
My Donuts were very very happy not sad! It was a very pleasant experience a good hometown owner seemed to know everybody walking around shaking hands kissing babies it was cool
Love the people and the donuts

Best donuts in the EC/Albany area. The owner is hella friendly and theyre open 24 hours so the perfect end to a lit night. This place just has a coziness other donut places cant replicate.
Good sweets and good costumers service
I think they have the best maple glazed donuts in the East Bay 🍩
A classic piece of Americana, this is a donut shop from the old days. This family-run business, has been supplying early morning commuters with donuts and coffee for years, and is conveniently located on the Solano San Pablo Avenue intersection, and is open 24 hours. What that means for the uninitiated is, if you are daring, or an insomniac, you can get hot fresh donuts right out of the fry, and there is nothing like a fresh donut fresh out of the fry. They usually make the raised glazed between 3 and 4:30 as well as the cinnamon rolls. An incredible experience all around. :-)
Ive gone 3 weekends in a row for blueberry fritters. Saturday night, Sunday morning So fresh, warm the glaze hasnt cracked yet. Heaven true heaven. Its a guilty pleasure
Were so glad to see Happy Donuts open after being closed for 3 1/2 months due to an automobile smashing through the wall and into the counter. Grand reopening was yesterday, July 31st. Were sitting here at 5:36 AM scarfing down their delicious donuts... Off to bed!
You can get fresh, fluffy donuts at midnight on a Saturday! They also have bagels and breakfast sandwiches, coffee, drinks, lotto tickets. Donut shop standards with a few small tables and nice staff.
This place is amazing I always get super fresh donuts here.
Your classic, good-ole donut shop. Has good donuts all day, with friendly service. My favorite is the old fashioned, but they have good chocolate donuts as well. If youre feeling donuty but still have the sweet tooth, there are some good pastries as well.
The blueberry donuts are hands down the best around. Fresh even late night and Woody is so friendly and enthusiastic! Love this place
Service with a smile and the nice lady has always called me honey for the 15+ years Ive been a happy customer. What can I get for you honey or thank you honey. Im always satisfied when I go here.
Always the best quality! Their coffee selection, donuts and breakfast sandwiches are ridiculous!
Croissants💣💣💣fluffy buttery goodness!! Open 24/7. Friendly owner and loved the chocolate glazed
Whether 10am, 3pm, or 1am always friendly service and tasty treats.
Love this place, almost always the best in town!
The Blueberry Fritter warm or just out the oven!😍💖😋 You are welcome.
Great Donuts, Phenomenal coffee, Great atmosphere....not to mention theyre open before I have to be at work at 4 a.m.
I miss you SO much, Happy Donuts! I am so sorry that a vehicle crashed through your front window on Easter Sunday 2017 and destroyed such a beautiful thing. All of us from the Saturday morning yoga class are looking forward to your reopening. Nobody makes donuts as good as yours!
I come here on a weekly basis usually after midnight because of my job in Richmond. The coffee ☕ is always hot and fresh, the donuts are good but you have to try their bacon, egg, and cheese Croissant... DEELICIOUS! 😂
Customer service was very welcoming and the donuts as usual are always fresh
Ridiculously soft/yummy doughnuts! Really cheap too, got me goin buck wild on dem doughnuts... Had to break my diet and eat two 🤦🏼♀️🍩🍩
Great food and prices. Very nice family owns this great donut gem
Best donuts in the area by a large amount. selection / Variety is exceptionally great; from old fashioned to turnovers, fruity pebble vanilla glazed to cinnamon twists, & everything in between. Comfortable 24hr hangout with very pleasant family owned and operated staff. not grimey or dirty like most old school donut dives. Also not a bad place to play Hotspot Lotto even @ 3am or 3pm.
One of the best 24 hour donut spots in the Bay. Hands down.
Good basic donut shop. No frills, no hipster creations just great tasting, classic donuts. Always a pleasure to consume their great buttermilk bars.
Donuts are good. They clearly change the oil frequently because the donuts taste fresh.
Great place for quick breakfast sandwich.
Opened all night. Great place for early birds who want fresh donuts.
They make great tasting donuts...however the selection is often limited.
Best donuts! Apple fritters come out fresh early morning M-F.
Love this place
