A solid neighborhood gem that does thing and does it well--classic delicious donuts! This is a cash-only, no-frills operation. They have a few tables/chairs inside but we typically take our orders to-go. The maple bar is perfect - fluffy, consistently fresh, and just the right amount of glaze. If you're looking for fancy flavors or Instagram-worthy creations, look elsewhere. But if you want a reliably excellent donut that tastes like it should, Dick's delivers every time! Don't forget to bring cash! read more

Excellent donuts and great service --quick, clean, convenient locale! Also not ridiculously priced like most donut places.

Best donuts around. Fast & super friendly service, huge variety and really good tasting donuts. Note this place takes cash only! I'm glad they close at 3pm because I would just come too often, especially at night. 5 stars! read more

Best darned Apple Fritters in the Bay Area. I like their old-fashioneds too. But the Apple Fritters are soooo grrreeat!

This is my favorite donut spot in the Bay Area hands down. The donuts are delicious, They have several good varieties and the chocolate is very rich and satisfying. They are also very cheap, probably the cheapest in the Bay. The service is always great too, very friendly. Oh and they have the best pickles for only $1.50. You can't beat that! read more

Dick's donuts is the Barry Bonds of donut shops. It's donuts on steroids. Larger gut busting donuts with more cake, more chocolate, more maple, and more apple filling in the bear claw. While other donut shops have shrunk the size of their donut, and Krispy Kreme is overly sugary air, Dick's makes old school donuts. Located in a small shopping area on High street right off of 580. Parking is easy. Prices are the going rate. The people that own it seem very nice. Definitely a good spot for donuts. read more

Best donuts in California. I used to come here as a little kid before school with just my brother and after living in every corner of California the past 20 years, this is easily the best donuts in California. The staff here is small but amazing, and if you're a regular, they treat you like a personal friend. Donuts are so overpriced in cool places now, and even some basic local shops but even here, the quality you get for the prices are INCREDIBLE. The chocolate twists are their biggest hit and it's a MONSTER. Only issue is they close early, some donuts are a premium like such, meaning they have a limited amount and come out at a certain time, and that's it. Other problem is they're "cash only" which can make it hassle to go these days for many people who don't carry cash. And they close a tad bit early, which leads to slim pickens early in the day as well. read more

I have been eating these donuts since I was a teenager absolute love them, this is the plati standard of donuts. I don't live here anymore but when I come I must stop here before leaving. Chocolate twist read more

The best apple fritters and the biggest fluffiest jelly filled! My weak spot! The apple fritters took me 2 days to finish. Friendly staff and all donuts are very fresh read more

Hidden Gem serving standard menu. Staff were Attentive, Quick and courteous. Doughnuts are fresh soft and above average size... (Unlike Krispy Kreme) read more

I went by this morning with my daughter and picked up some donuts. Unfortunately, the donuts tasted and smelled off putting. It smelled like chemicals, specifically bug spray. I am 8 months pregnant so my nose does pick up even the slightest scent. Im hoping it wasn't bug spray, but instead old grease. Either way, I don't feel comfortable returning. read more

Awesome service and amazing products . Stopped by here before I attended a meeting for work and I'm glad I did. One of the bestest donuts over ever had . Saddened that I don't near nearby otherwise I would go here every day if that was the case read more

Went to Dick's Donuts and..... drum roll... didn't get a donut. Instead I got a big a** Apple Fritter! Didn't look like an Apple Fritter as it reminded me of a large cow patty topped with morning dew. Yuck on the description but I like to describe things relatable to people... Honestly, it is a really good Apple Fritter with apple filling inside, crunchiness on the outside. A bit on the too sweet end but that's where milk, coffee or tea comes into play... now you have a balanced breakfast. JK. Humongous to say the least. Parking on MacArthur can be a challenge but easy in the early morning. read more

CASH ONLY!! definitely worth spending my last two dollars though. The donuts are large and fluffy. so delish so perfect

the best glazed donuts! omg! huge and good! served with a smile! soft, glazed just right !

One of the best donuts I've had! All donuts are good, these are great! Nice job Dick's Donuts.

So good! Got the glaze, maple glazed, and old fashioned. Owners were very friendly. Great raised donuts

Fried flour dough, if fried in fresh oil by someone who knows what they are doing, is a culinary miracle. Because it is no longer flour and water and eggs and leavening and a little salt. The frying transforms pedestrian ingredients into DELIGHT. Come to Dick's Donuts for some miraculous comfort. And, although it is true that they only take cash, the doughnuts are FRESH and delicious. My co-workers agree with me on this. This doughnut shop is in a small strip mall on High Street across from Walgreen's, just as one gets off of 580 coming east. Going west there is that whole "High Street" exit thing happening, but once you get to High Street, turn left on High and go under 580 and voila, there you are, look for the small strip mall on the right. And because this is a little strip mall, usually you can park for free. And there is a taqueria next door. The lady behind the counter was SO NICE. I went in and said "all I have is $20" since it is cash only and I only had a 20 dollar bill in the cash division. And she filled up a BIG PINK BOX with like 10 doughnuts or maybe more, I was in too much of a hurry to count them. So now I am getting crackling sugar glaze everywhere at my desk as I scarf this down and review DICK'S DONUTS. And my co-workers are walking by my office saying "thank you!" Still prefer working from home, but if you have to be there, soften the blow with doughnuts. read more

I went in because I wanted to have some munchies on hand for later in the day. The lady behind the counter gave a warm welcome and asked what I'd like. It was a small selection of baked goods but TASTY! It was easy to pick- I went for three different types of "old fashioned" doughnuts- original glazed, chocolate and maple. The apple fritter was too tempting to pass up so I got it along with an oversized eclair. I just ate a doughnut along with a good chunk of the apple fritter, which was both HUGE and delicious. Loaded with chunks of apples scattered throughout the dough. They've got some great hot dog combos, too, (not unlike those membership warehouse supermarkets)but I didn't try them. I'm definitely going back for more doughnuts! read more

The absolute best! It's like shopping with a friend. Love this place. The young lady who works the counter is so pleasant.

I stop by this old-school donut shop at least once or twice a month. Their raspberry jelly donut is good--not overly sweet. As for their glazed raised donuts, they're absolutely delicious, with a slightly denser texture compared to the ones at Colonial Donuts on Lakeshore. read more

I read all the positive reviews. Lifted the neighborhood for 1 million years, but always go to Lee donuts on high Street. Thought it was time for a quality donut... Was I ever wrong! The donuts are huge. That's not bad or good just a description. But a dozen donuts which include apple fritters. Worst donuts ever! They just taste like sugar... No doughnut. I've got an eight-year-old granddaughter who loves junk donuts, and she doesn't even like them. Wanted to like them so badly... read more

Bring cash, no credit cards accepted. Btw, got here at 11:00 Tuesday morning and the shelves were filled with donuts. I had many varieties to choose from. I usually go from 10-2:30 and am not disappointed with the inventory of donuts. Don't understand Yelpers complaining about not having enough donuts. That has never been my experience. Maybe I'm just lucky. This place has been my neighborhood go to donut joint for over 15 years. Even if it's not in my neighborhood. Their donuts are made fresh in house throughout the day. Great tasting, huge donuts, and great prices. The Apple fritter is the size of my head and has that crispy crust, tender inside, and apple-ly perfection. Jelly filled donuts are thick like a fat burger. Don't have a lot of money, they sell a dozen donut holes for $2, 6 for $1. Why are these donuts so good? Always soft, fluffy, delicious, yummy yummy donuts. 10/10 read more

Best Donuts in the WORLD! You can't get any better than this! Awesome! The donuts are super HUGE & FLUFFY! Get there early for the best selection - they sell out fairly quickly. My favorite is the Dutch Crumb - AWESOME! The Ladies that work the counter are Wonderful :) read more

hands down the best doughnut I've had in my entire life- and Ive eaten some fuckin doughnuts. I got the old fashion in loaf from, such a fun take on a classic favorite. the inside is so moist and lovely and the outside has the perfect crunch, truly the PERFECT texture. Don't get me started on flavor- insane, not too sweet, just right. 10/10 couldn't recommend Dick's Doughnuts more. ILY read more

11/5/21 Imagine Bob's from SF (wait what... you don't know?--well, that's inexcusable, but whatever) but without the glass window showcase of their fugly and grotesque looking fat doughnuts in all their glory........... in one of the most ghetto strip malls I've been to, across the street from DEFINITELY, without a doubt, The Most Ghetto Walgreen's I've ever been to. I had 2 items held there at the Fedex OnSite counter, and outside the building was a normal dude, not homeless, totally normally dude, looking totally suspicious glancing around him, peering... as if he was doing something................ oh yeah, he was.... he was helping himself to the free urinal on the building wall. Oh...nm, there isn't one, he's just spraying it like a dog. Our eyes met, and I guess he didn't see me as a threat, and kept spraying on. ......inside...... oh nm, this is a review for the doughnut shop huh? Okay, for another day (just don't hold items there--TRUST ME.) So, I almost walked straight out upon walking in. It wasn't dirty exactly, but it sure wasn't nice. And in front of me were puffy, bulbous doughnuts, that looked like Jabba the Hutt offspring. I couldn't eat those. Just felt if I took a bite, I might explode in some ultra sci-fi way. So f that. I did muster some bravery and ordered a standard glazed yeast doughnut...... Got to me car and bit in........... W T F. Soft, tender, and moist, with a nice cotton candy melting sensation as it touched my tongue. Delicious. Goes to show 'ya, yeah, you may like them large. 4/5 #doughnut #donut #oakland #star #eastoakland read more
