I think it's nice that everyone is leaving good reviews regarding the service, freshness and long standing business . But if you're looking for a review regarding this shop from a health point of view.. don't go here. I work close by so I've given this place a try more than a couple of times , the dough in their donuts is always SOAKED in grease, inside and out. They also have flies inside the pastry/donut display case. I always end up with an upset stomach. This place is not for the health conscious. read more

I have been going to Lucky Doughnuts in San Leandro for so many years and the consistency of being able to expect fresh treats has not changed !!! They always have fresh doughnuts no matter what time you go in morning or evening believe it or not that's rare , I've gone to places that were the rave and gave other places a try and each time the doughnuts were a bit stale but at this place the treats are always fresh . The Gentleman who runs the place is so friendly he says he comes it at 5 am to start the first round of doughnuts for the day the little lady who I believe is his wife seems like she's always having a bad day lol not so friendly but the doughnuts are good enough to overlook that and his genuine bubbly personality overrides hers ... I recommend this place if you're in the San Leandro area read more

Lucky dounts was packed full of happy people. I waited in line for about 5 mins, it was 11 in the afternoon. I picked out a few different donuts to share with my friends. They had such a variety of all sizes,shapes, flavors of donuts, I was impressed. They also offered fresh brewed coffee, refrigerated drinks, teas, coffee from a machine. Also offered a variety of different breakfast sandwiches, croissants and bagels. I wanted them all. The prices were standard, not expensive at all. Best part bitting into that warm sugar twist dount: the outside was crispy and fried to perfection, the inside WARM, where it just melted like butta as soon as it touched my tongue. I'll be back!!! read more

2 Yelp entries for Lucky's Donuts in San Leandro. Here is a copy of my review from the other Yelp page. Lottery tickets and donuts! What else do you need? That's an awesome combination right there! $1.65 custard filled chocolate bar was delicious, but overpriced. All the donuts seemed more expensive than normal mom & pop shops. Perhaps, I'm used to lower prices in my hometown. Anyways, the shop was clean and service was good. Would stop in again. Maybe next time I'll win, and it will pay for my donuts! read more

Best donut shop in San Leandro !! Always fresh always moist! Stays fresh for days!!! Love this place. Owners n employees are always friendly! read more

My friend poated on FB that she noticed a fruit fly in the doughnut case! When she took a second look there were now SEVERAL!! She brought it to the attention of the person behind the counter and they said "you talk too much...." REALLY, SERIOUSLY?! They then grabbed a fly swatter...Well, and there you have it!!!!! No more doughnuts from you LUCKY! read more

I ordered a bacon, egg, & cheese bagel breakfast sandwich. The bagel bread was fresh just out of the oven and it was huge, the bacon was crispy, the cheese was completely melted and the egg was fluffy. I will definitely come here when im in the area. Unfortunately, I didnt snap a picture. read more

This is My Absolute Favorite Donut Shop. Their Donut Shop is always clean and the choices are so many. Everything is fresh & delicious. The owners are so kind, They are not just the Donut Shop They are family to everyone that enters their establishment. read more

How does this place have any good reviews? The service is rude and curt. The donuts aren't that good, they reuse their oil and they end up tasing old. We live a block away and the last time I went there with my kids, 4 and 5, to get them a donut, our bill came to $4.98. I gave them my card and they refused to run it. They have a $5 minimum. So I said I would pay the extra $.02. Nope, they can't do that. Ok, I'd get another donut. Nope, that's a different transaction. After debating this for several minutes, and after they *took the donuts back* from my kids, who then started to cry, I left in utter disbelief. This level of stupidity borers on Trump. But all ended well, we ended up at Zocalo around the corner with warm milk and a muffin. read more

Best please for fresh donuts and breakfast sandwiches, they have it all. If you plan on coming here try breakfast sandwiches #6 it's a sausage, ham, egg and cheese sandwiches you'll love it. Friendly owners, good coffee and if your into lottery they have it. read more

The donut holes were pretty good and they close later than most donut shops.

This was my first time at Lucky Donuts and I was looking for a quick breakfast bite before I was on my home. I looked at the reviews on this location before I walked in and everything was great. So I got a few donuts and a breakfast sandwich. And all I can say was Yummy!!! The donuts were soo light and it had just enough icing on it and I it's the Best!!! The breakfast sandwich was off the hook and nice and hot!!! It's made to order and I wish I got another for later. The people that own it and work the shop are so sweet and get you in and out with what you want. They have a great selection of food and donuts but you have to come see for yourself!!! You don't want to miss out on a great place!! read more

Always ask for a reciept if you pay with credit card. They will overcharge you. This is not the first time and they will claim that they add a credit card charge. Their minimum is $5 but still charge you blindly. read more

This place isn't fancy but they do have some yummy donuts. My favorite is the cinnamon twist. I have bought a dozen twice for parties and they were a hit both times. I've had a croissant breakfast sandwich before, I wouldn't get that again because the croissant became quite soggy. read more

Really love their donuts here! Maple bars and glazed twist donuts are my favorites

Their bagels are great! Yes, they do run out sometimes during the mornings. Iv tried other places but I come back here because they taste Home made if that makes any sense. I normally get a #5 which is eggs ham and cheese on a plain bagel. The donuts are good as well usually just get chocolate and old fashion sprinkles. Price wise it's pretty reasonable. read more

Been a while since I had a donut here, but whenever I went they were really good!! Every once in a while I buy some scratch offs here too. I took one star off cuz they keep going up on their prices for donuts! I believe it's $1.15 now for one. A few yrs back I was paying 85 cents. They need to start making them bigger since the price keeps increasing. read more

That was one of the best donuts I've had in a while. Very fresh and not overly saccharine-sweet.

Stopped to check out Lucky Donuts and I'm glad I did. I got the Bacon ,Ham,Egg and Cheese Croissant and it was huge and tasty and filling . What a deal around $5. Full service Donut Shop and California Lottery Stop . Great little Neighborhood Donut Shop. read more

do you feel lucky with a donut from here?if not, try a lotto ticket which they also happen to sell. donutsts: .95+ coffee: apfel, passed eats: -chocolate cruellar donut(1.25) tasted watery and texture was similar to waffle -chocolate bar texture tasted like bread 2ish stars. crumbs: -lots of seating to hang out and chill here. -can watch winning lotto picks show up. 3+ stars. -friendly service...... read more

Currently my favorite donut place. Why this one? A few reasons: The donuts are fresh and awesome, They sell Lotto tickets (hence the "lucky"!) The counter staff is always friendly It's a legitimate hang-out. Every time I go in there, people are hanging out and chatting. It's more of an "old-school" crowd than nearby upscale cafe "Zocalo" around the corner. So what I do is I stop in here, grab a couple donuts and a lotto ticket, sit down, eat ONE donut and play my lotto ticket, THEN I walk around the corner with my remaining donut(s) and get a cappuccino over at Zocalo and read magazines over stellar coffee and donuts. They do sell coffee at Lucky Donuts- but it's the mass-brewed drip kind you might find in a convenience store. Sometimes I'm in the mood for that, but mostly not. Parking is directly across the street in the public lot, sort of conjoined with the Safeway parking lot. read more

I'm taking memory enhancing vitamins, so naturally I was eating a crappy cream filled donut from a local chain this morning and suddenly remembered the deliciousness of Lucky Donuts. I've enjoyed donuts here for 20+ years and the quality has maintained. It's a required stop every time I'm back in the drizzy fo shizzy. Ahhh what I'd do for all the iced goodness that is their deep fried apple fritter!! Hands down the best donuts I've ever had. read more

Picked up a box of donuts here for work this morning, and they're definitely a hit. People especially love the old-fashioned and crullers. I love a hearty, cake-y donut, and I'm staring at the apple fritter I bought, trying to put it off, and probably failing. I will be back for next Friday's work donuts! read more

I love everything they make !]!! Since i was little i been hoing there and now my daughter loves there sandwish they make for her;)) they are so nice helpful loved this place read more

Donuts are good and fresh in the am.....sometimes the lady can be rude but they also offer smoothies and breakfast sandwiches!

The donuts tasted like they were a day old and the coffee was so horrible you couldn't drink it.

Best donuts ever. I love their apple fritters and their donut holes. Yummmmm. All of their donuts are always fresh and they replenish across the day I've been very fortunate on a few occasions to walk in just as they were pulling donut holes from the back and they were nice and warm. read more

Lucky Doughnuts is my go go place for doughnuts, Went today and bought a dozen glazed doughnut holes for a dollar. I also bought five sprinkled doughnut holes for .25 cents each so 2.25 cents total of doughnuts, My brother bought 2 raspberry filled doughnuts for 1.00 something like that. Yummy, The doughnuts were fresh, Service was terrific as always, I will return lucky doughnuts and continue their business Besides doughnuts, they also sell cinnamon rolls, croissants, pastries and coffee as well as lottery tickets. Come One Come All read more

I like Lucky Donuts; I used to come here more often when I was in high school, on my walk home. Their chocolate croissant is delicious, flaky, and filled with chocolate, and their prices are cheap. They have a wide array of drinks, donuts, pastries, and croissant sandwiches, and the place is pretty clean. The owners are friendly, but I once had an issue where I tried to buy a lottery ticket and upon proving that I was over 18, the owner wouldn't let me purchase one and told me I needed to be 21 to gamble. Yeah, in Nevada. Unless I'm wrong here I'll shut up, but it clearly said on the back of the ticket you have to be at least 18 to play the California Lottery; I was just trying to test my luck for the hell of it, but whatever. My donut made up for it in the end. A nice place to stop in the morning for a quick bite or in the afternoon for a light snack. read more

Don't get blueberry doughnuts here. Go to Ming's on Dolittle. Called ahead to make sure this place has them. Ask to reserve 3. Got there, the guy didn't even know what I was saying when I said I reserved 3 over the phone. I'm pretty sure he was the one I spoke to. He was busy watching the TV and did not pay attention to me when I tried to pay. Whatever. Won't be returning. read more

Wish I could better predict when they have the Apple fritters out because they are really good. Well all of their stuff is delicious, actually. Having recently moved to the San Leandro area, I was glad to have found this place near our house. read more

The donuts I've had there have always been fluffy (if they were the fluffy sort) and tasty. I would have rated a 5 if I'd ever had a donut so fresh it was warm (which I've definitely had eat really good donut shops elsewhere). The breakfast sandwishes - I would definitely NOT eat another of these. Coffee - ugh. Don't even bother with the latte/mocha like things. They are beyond horrible. The drip coffee is pretty standard nasty-cheap fare, but that's what I expect from a donut shop. I'm not rating the donut shop lower for the nasty breakfast sandwiches or the blech coffee because, after all, that's not what they're really selling with a name like "Lucky Donuts". read more

I bought a half dozen doughnuts my jelly doughnut cost more than a regular doughnut but hardly had any jelly, what's up with that?? Other than that the doughnuts were fresh I'm just thinking out loud. read more

Lucky Donut's - Donuts Near Me - San Leandro, California

We've tried other doughnuts shops in San Leandro & these are the family's favorite. Very yummy doughnuts.

I went in to buy donuts and the lady was sweeping the floor with a mask and gloves on. So I proceeded to the counter and she came to the back of the counter and proceeded to get my donuts. I said wait a minute you've been sweeping the floor! She said something back with an attitude, so I said never mind about the order. As I was leaving she was still babbling on. So I said, you need to be clean and not dirty hands serving customers. "I'm not dirty!" She said. But she had no sense of what she was doing. So customers beware. read more

While waiting for my turn. I noticed a small fly or fruit fly inside the case. I mentioned it softly to the worker. The male worker said "I know". Then I noticed SEVERAL more but now on the Donuts and moving around. The same person moved the rack, grabbed the fly swatter and started hitting at them.I even asked him if he was going to throw them out? He told me "I was talking to much" NEVER RETURNING unless to give an update. Yes, I called the Health Department. Not okay. Disappointed former customer. If I could give a -0 They served the donuts STILL knowing it wasn't ok!!! BUT THE FLY SWATTER being at arms reach is bothering me. read more

I'm not a big fan of donuts except when they are FREE. We grab a couple dozens donuts for our customer and they were gone in minutes. So I guess the donuts were great because usually you see a donut or two left in a pink box but they were all scarfed up. The blueberry is one to get. read more

Visiting from Sacramento, I had the croissant breakfast sandwich with sausage, egg and cheese and it was delicious! Don't sleep on the glazed buttermilk bar or donut holes either. I am happily full. If your palms are itching, they sell lottery tickets (cash only) too. And, they are open on Christmas! Love this quaint little place. read more

Poor customer service rude I'm taking my business elsewhere. I don't know what I did to offend these people but this is the third time in I've been ignored and not given service. It must be that I bring my kids in here so I'm going to review this business as not kid friendly. Also think I've been charged incorrectly on several occasions since the cash register is broke. Donut quality is inconsistent. read more

Apple fritters rank with the best from any shop, and the glazed old fashion is a perfect balance of taste and texture, with just the right level of sweetness. Croissants beckon from a lower shelf! read more
