    Honestly perhaps one of the best, most fluffy, not too greasy, donuts I've ever had. This is no exaggeration, I haven't been this affected by a donut in a very very long time. Perhaps a decade. This is a perfect donut in my eyes. Me and my family love this place. The worker (who I'm assuming is the owner) was very nice. I will most definitely be returning.

    Just a heads up before I do my review about All Star Donuts is that they only accept cash! I never tried out this place until recently. I have pass by through here but never got a donut until recently. When I first try this place I was greeted right away. They gave me time to figure out what donut I should get. They surely got plenty of selection to chose from. 30 minutes to dine inside since they are limited on tables. I did follow the rules by sitting down, ate my donut, clean up my table before I left. Check out All Star Donuts

    I've been working in this plaza for almost 6 months and I keep forgetting to bring cash whenever I want to try their breakfast from here :( However, today was a great day because I finally remembered to bring cash! Their croissants are crispy yet fluffy and they really packed in the meat. I really enjoyed this sandwich and would definitely come back again. Customer service is also great!!

    I am always in El Cerrito and have passed by this donut shop a couple times. I decided to stop by and get some donuts for my family and I. My order: I included pictures of the donuts below. I didn't give 5 stars because she gave me the wrong donut (Yes, I'm aware that sounds kinda petty on ny part.) I didn't realize until I got home.... Inside: This is more than a donut shop. There is a wide variety of menu items including hot and cold beverages. They also make sandwiches (made to order.) I really enjoyed the crumb donut and the almond bearclaw. Everyone enjoyed their donut. Everything was fresh. We will definitely be back for more and back to give them that other star when I get my right donut lol...

    Plain glazed donut

    I got the plain glazed donut and I was very pleasantly surprised!! The donut was delicious and I love that its texture is especially chewy. I'd love to come back to try their other things. TIP: this place is cash only!!

    Due to the pandemic, I will be removing criteria that I had added to my reviews, such as restaurant ambience, mood, and wait time. This review will only focus on the dish. Quick Summary - Coffee isn't sour - Cash only For the family, I ordered the bagel with cream cheese, a croissant sandwich with hame, egg, and cheese; and a glazed doughnut. For coffee, I ordered a large cafe latte. The staff was kind enough to ask if the sandwiches should be sliced in half. All of them were delicious, but my favorite was the croissant sandwich. The croissant gave a nice crispy texture when bitten. There was a whole chunk of egg with the white cheese and ham in between, and I loved how juicy it was. It was a good morning snack to have before starting the day.

    Donut holes
    Cari A.

    Located to the right of Starbucks in El Cerrito Plaza. Excellent donut holes. I love that they are not only huge, but they are light and fluffy. They also have a decent variety of your traditional donuts. Pros: -they also make a variety of drinks -donut holes are large and tasty -they share a large, free parking lot with other businesses Cons: -cash only Solid donut place. I'll come here the next time that I have cash on me.

I've reached that point where overly sugary donuts just feel like too much, and these hit a nice balance. They're still satisfying, just without that overwhelming sugar rush that leaves you regretting it halfway through. They also offer a lunch special that's pretty hard to beat for the price, a burger, fries, and a drink all bundled together. It's nothing fancy or over-the-top--just straightforward, classic comfort food done right. Sometimes that's exactly what you want, and they deliver on that without trying to reinvent anything.

My wife and I used to live just across the street and we'd start out mornings by strolling over and enjoying some freshly made donuts. The husband and wife owners were always so friendly and welcoming too! It's been 10+ years since we moved away but I was in the neighborhood yesterday and decided to visit the old spot. Lots of changes in the plaza and surrounding area, but Donut Time has persevered. I walked in and the glorious display of donuts was same as it ever was! This time, I was greeted by a very cool young gal and she was chatty and patient while I figured out what I wanted. I got my wife a chocolate raised and chocolate twist. And I chose my favorite maple bar and maple filled. Btw one of the reasons why Donut Time is the best is that they don't skimp on the frosting like some unnamed local spots. I would've taken pics but we kinda scarfed em down already.

We ordered two decorated donuts (we left a note that it was a birthday, and to choose something fun), hash browns, an egg and cheese croissant, and coffee. They were having a special if you spent x amount, your coffee was complimentary or in all reality, I think it came to about .25 cents! They chose the cutest panda bear donuts as the decorated donuts, and it was such a fun breakfast vibe full of all the whimsy. They included a bag with napkins and coffee creamer which was a nice touch. And omg, the egg/cheese croissant...so good! There is truly something special about the discovery of breakfast croissants at spots that don't typically market them. (See pic) but the croissant was hearty and layered high with gooey cheese and warm egg. The croissant was warm, buttery, and it seemed like potentially put in a press. Chefs kiss, no notes. I noticed you could add meat and/or avocado, but it was perfect paired down. All in all, a food delivery gone right! Hard to come by these days, and my first time ever executing a delivery order before 7am haha. Thank you for adding to a truly special day, can't wait to visit soon!

This well-established donut shop is small but has lots of options. There is also some outdoor seating right outside the store. The service is quick, and the person behind the counter is always willing to answer questions. My friend and I both tried an apple fritter, and my partner got a chocolate milk. The apple fritter was crispy with a nice glaze on top and delicious chunks of caramelized apple inside. This donut was extremely sweet, but honestly it's exactly what we needed! I normally go for apple cider donuts, so this was a great alternative. It's a good place to go when friends are visiting!

    A GLAZED BACK TO WINCHELL'S…read more Growing up as a kid in the 1980s my family and me would go to Winchell's on Sundays after Mass. The only donut I really like at Winchell's was the glazed as it had the lightly coated frosting yet the donut was not dense inside. Eventually Winchell's in the 1990s were later phased out by Krispy Kreme. I like Krispy Kreme because of the glazed also, but the sugar frosting can be too much. There are a lot of mom-and-pop donut shops that sell glazed raised donuts. However the glazed raised donuts at those shops tend to be dense inside. I like my glazed raised donuts with the balance between the ones I ate at Winchell's and Krispy Kreme. When I was a student at California I liked going to Kin Pin Donuts because of the butter milk bar. I came here to King Pin Donuts today as tomorrow is National Glazed Donut Day. The glazed I ordered had a lightly coated sugar frosting, yet the donut wasn't dense inside. If a glazed donut is dense I cannot order another one. I would equate this to a pizza if the crust is dense I can only eat one slice. At Kin Pin Donuts since I didn't feel bloated after eating the glazed raised donut I ordered another raised donut but this time with a chocolate frosting. What I really liked about the raised donuts at King Pin Donuts are the crispy outside. At King Pin Donuts for the raised donuts there are three textures: sweet frosting, fluffy inside, and crispy outside. How do you know if donuts at a donut shop are good? Just order a glazed or chocolate raised donuts to taste to find out if they're not dense. If a donut shop cannot bake a basic donut like raised donut, then most likely the rest of the donuts are not that good. If you are unsure what donuts to order at Kin Pin Donuts just order a raised donut.

Although we were pretty full so we did not partake of any mochi donuts that evening, we opted to share an Ube Coconut Milk Smoothie w/ Boba. My wife, who usually does not drink much boba (hence the sharing of a cup) wound up really loving the drink, and actually drank about half of it herself. The taro was fresh and very strong, and the boba quality was soft, chewy and delicious. We have easily found our new, favorite local boba spot with Mochiholics.
