We go gor the car shows on sunday. Always love the donuts. Krullers are my favorite. The coffee is decent for donut shop coffee. They also make good breakfast ham and egg croissant πŸ₯. My only gripe is the lack of devils food donuts. I asked the very cute girl for a devils food and she gave me a funny look 😏

Best donuts in East Bay. If you dont like donuts give their strawberry cheese or chocolate croissant a try.I prefer better java.

Really nice place for a snack or just to hang out. Sells regular selections of donuts, burgers and sandwiches. People are friendly here and their Vietnamese coffee (which I don’t think is on their menu) is really good. This place is cash only FYI

Donut Time is a great family-owned store . My family and I have been coming here for a few years, and weve enjoyed the food and service every single time. The employees are incredibly helpful and friendly, and the store is clean and organized.Also, if youre in the mood for a chicken burger, give theirs a try. Very tasty!

The donuts are very good and made fresh daily. The owners are very people kind and generous to the community. If you get a chance please visit and youll experience the home town vibe thats generated there. They have been a staple of the community for over thirty years.

My late father use to pick up their day old donuts which Johnny donated to our Senior Center every Tuesday. I often would go there if I needed to bring treats to our staff at school. Even if the donuts were a day old, they were still fresh and delicious. I love their old fashioned cake donuts~ yum! I only get their donuts if I need a real treat. I dont go anywhere else and its close by so I ca indulge. Theyre generous and courteous.

Let me tell you folks. If you ever head to the bay are to see a Giants game, on San Pablo Ave, take cutting Blvd exit make left at the light, then right onto San Pablo Ave and go a mile, maybe a bit further, on your left are the best, freshest donuts you have to experience. This place has had all major news papers write about the food, fun, laughter, and got right knit this place is, and all you have to say is your out of town, well youll see why this place is a Hall of Famet!

I love everything about this place. The doughnuts and pastries are obviously fantastic but they also make great burgers, fries and sandwiches as well. Its not high end (overpriced) gourmet food; but it is hot, fresh and inexpensive. The service is great as well - they (apparent owners) are very grateful and appreciative of your business. They bring your food out to you on an actual cermic plate which is a nice touch. I love the old school we havent redecorated since... forever decor & look and feel of the place. Its like a time capsle when you walk in and not in a cheesy / touristy Johnny Rockets kind of way but in an authentic 1975 truck stop snack bar kinda way. It looks like Snowman, Bandit, and Sherrif Buford T. Justice might just walk in any second. When you go remember, they only take cash (I understand and respect that). They do have an off brand ATM on site of you wanna pay the fees. But, just be smart and bring cash. Also, theres no WiFi so for all you 20-ish militant left wing hippies who wear your $200 sandals, drink $8 per cup coffees and check your $700 iPhones while blogging on your $2000 MAC Book Pro about the evils of American capitalism, this aint your kinda crowd. There is no Jay Z, One Direction or Beyonce music blasting out of speakers either. Folks who eat here actually wanna sit accross from each other and have a actual face to face conversation and just enjoy some delicious food.
