My husband brought me some glazed and sugar donuts this morning, we are from South Dakota if I only knew how yummy they were I would have asked for more. They melted in my mouth. The price was in our budget too!! Job well done!! read more

Best best donuts I have ever had. My husband picked them up. They were reasonably priced I would have had him pick up more if I would had known they were this good!! read more

This donut spot is super fresh and delicious! Service was great and it's a local joint! Approved

Fresh donuts and coffee. Great service. The quality of the donuts and other assorted pastries are always top notch. Convenient location.

Owner is great the donuts are amazing. The Ambiance is pretty good with a TV and Seats

Been coming here since I was a kid. I moved to another country but always stop by when visiting family. The owner always remembers even though we come less than once a year. Nice people, good cheap donuts. read more

Not good service. I asked for a dozen & a half doughnuts and her response was "when?" And I said "right now please". She then starts assorting them herself. I asked if if can pick from the large selection she had left and she said "well which ones do you want?" She then proceeded to pick them and let me choose 6 of the ones I wanted. Then when I was paying, I pull out my corporate Amex as this was for a work function. She then grabs my card and says "do you have another card. This one charges me 8%. 8%" and just stares at me. I said "these are for a work function, but I guess I can pay for them out of pocket". I give her my personal card, she doesn't say thank you. Proceeds to charge my card and I sign & leave. I understand the merchant fee, but would've appreciated a thank you for paying with my personal cc. read more

Located in a street level strip of shops and storefronts along San Pablo Dam Road, this is right along the street. A small interior with a glass cased display of what has been baked and what's fresh. Good glazed doughnuts and cinnamon buns in particular. This is a no frills doughnuts shop that does what you want them to do best: plain old doughnuts! The best aspect? Nice people behind the counter. Don't forget your lottery ticket! read more

I would stop at this shop when it was convenient. I stopped completely after a certain incident. Now if I need donuts, I will go out of my way to get them. My coworkers and I routinely buy donuts for the office. One time my coworker gave me money to pick up a few boxes. As I walked into the shop, there was a woman who asked me for money. I gave her a dollar. The older lady behind the counter chided me for giving the woman money. I proceeded to buy the two boxes of donuts with my coworkers money and then put her change in my pocket. I asked the lady how much a croissant was. I had a few dollars of my own and I wanted to make sure I had enough to cover. I didn't want to mix my money and my coworker's change. The lady once again chided me telling me that if I didn't have enough money, I shouldn't have given the woman any money. I was so turned off. Like she didn't know my situation at all. Who gets nasty with customers like that? The croissant wasn't that important - honestly I wanted to purchase one because I knew that I would not eat any of the office donuts. I prefer a certain type of donut that they don't sell. I looked at her and left without purchasing the croissant. I have never been back. My husband's barber is in the same complex. When we are there I won't even buy lotto or drinks from them. That encounter put such a bad taste in my mouth. Also they don't have a varied selection of donuts and they aren't very fresh. read more

I used to come to this place as a young kid with my grandpa, and since we were in the neighborhood, I wanted to check this place out for old time's sake. I met the sweet owner, who's owned this shop for 37 years, so maybe she used to served my grandpa and me back in the day! Anyways I had the cinnamon twist that's not pictured but it was bomb! The donuts definitely tasted a lot better than they look! read more

Neighbor's Donuts - Assorted Dozen - Donuts Near Me - El Sobrante, California

This place continues ro upset me . I gave this place another chance , i went in , no customers . I was looking around for about a minute . The cashier , the lady mentioned in my other review , was fixing the donuts . She saw me when i came in , but didn't acknowledge me . Then another customer came in . That's when the cashier asked me "can i help you ?" And i said "yes , i need two dozen donuts" . She didn't say a word to me , just started preparing the boxes . Then she says "they will be assorted ok ? " and proceeds to fill the box . In my head i was like what ? But i didn't complain because that's what i was going to ask for anyway . I paid & left . Upon opening the boxes , i realized that was the last time I am ever going back there . The "assorted" donuts were all glazed with chocolate, only one sugar donut & one normal glazed . Everything else had chocolate with different colored sprinkles or just plain chocolate . I was taking these to a meeting with adults . Only 4 donuts were eaten out of 2 dozens . Why would you do that ?? Assorted means assorted , not chocolate assorted . Seriously ... drive to Donut King , this donut shop LACKS in customer service , communication & taste . read more

Nice neighborhood donut shop. Doesn't have the BIGGEST selection, but all the standard donuts are here. My fave is always an old-fashioned, with maple or regular glaze. Mmmm! My husband loves the chocolate twists, and my son loves the donut holes. read more

Tasty , friendly service and right close to home . Perfect jelly doughnuts. And I really appreciate that they are open part 3pm, unlike so many other doughnut shops read more

Not good. Donuts weren't fresh. On my way out I saw a fly on a donut in the cabinet.

Let me say that I am usually a huge supporter of local businesses and always root for their success. Small businesses are the lifeblood of many neighborhoods across the country. I was disappointed with my recent try of Neighbor's Donuts in El Sobrante. I stopped in to buy some donuts for the guys at work (not that any of us need them). I ordered an assorted dozen, and when I paid the bill it was 4 - 5 dollars more than what is posted on the menu board. I shrugged it off and walked out the door so I wasn't late for work over a couple of bucks, but hey it still irked me a bit, but I thought maybe these will be the best damn donuts I have ever had. When I arrived at work with the donuts, they were not fresh at all. Some of the donuts were stale, and the guys at work really did not like them. How could I tell? When someone takes a bite or two and tosses the donut in the trash, even with a cup of coffee. I tried a donut and felt like they were in the 1 to 2-star range. I might try them again in the future, but probably will try one donut instead of a dozen. read more

The lady who works here isn't very friendly or warm . You feel like you're bothering her by going in. I went In once and the donuts felt stale . So next time I asked if they were fresh from the day and she gave me a rude answer read more

Love this place, great donuts and selection. As a donut lover this is my main place to get a good ol old fashioned or twist when I am home visiting :') read more

The owner found my wallet in the parking lot and called me at home where I was beside myself over all the card cancellations and online payment reconfigurations I would need to arrange, not to mention the anxiety in contemplating going to the DMV for a new license. She was so sweet! Everything was there including a good amount of cash. I am so grateful and, after a long, wonderful chat, consider her a new friend. I bought two big boxes of donuts to celebrate with friends and they were delicious! read more

I went to buy donuts and before felt they were more costly than other places. Never will go again as they charged me two dollars extra for a box!!! The sign said $11.99 for a dozen of glazed and never said anything about the box. If other shops were not closed because of COVID-19 I would have never bought from them. I will not return!!! I understand small business have to make a living but charging me a extra money for a box was not correct! Bye bye Neighbor Donut I will not give you my money again. read more

I visited this donut shop this morning and the debit card policy is outrageous! Not only are you required to spend $10 if using debit but the store will still charge .75 cents for using it. How is this possible when most store owners are only paying less than one percent of each transaction. It should be one or the other, spend $10 or pay .75 cents. Won't be returning there debit card or otherwise! read more

Neighbor's has a very small parking lot. luckily got a space when a construction worker pulled out. passed on farmers coffee (usually too bitter) eats: glazed donut(.99) -tasted a litter bitter french crueller (1.20) -tasted soggy, donut falling apart. crumbs: -lots of donuts on the racks prelunch, not a good sign. -friendly, quick service.....however. the donuts are .. so .. so. -cash only? read more

While waiting for my laundry to dry at BB's, I decided to grab a bite here at Neighbor's Donut. Place is pretty small, will probably seat a dozen. There's a television in the corner, next to the lottery scratchers machine. There were still lots of donuts on display at 4:30pm. The small Chai tea latte for $3 and half a dozen donut holes for $0.75 were pretty good. Service was friendly as well. I'm a happy camper :) read more

See all

The chocolate old fashioned was pretty good but would have preferred my edges a little more crispy. The glazed was just okay though, more on the dry side. I wasn't expecting anything as far as quality goes for the coffee but it is seriously FOUL. I'm a "dunker" and couldn't even do that with the coffee they sell... I would have preferred 7-11 x_x The lady who helped me was actually extremely nice. This place is right next to the laundry mat so it's the perfect excuse to get a sinful snack. I wouldn't drive out of my way for this though. Decent local spot. Cash only. read more

good donut and she gave me a few free donut holes. nice customer service. better than the chains

What a nice surprise! The apple fritters were nice and crunchy with a good amount of apple and cinnamon. The french donuts were light and not too sweet. The bar custard donut was too sweet. The prices are reasonable. The apple fritter was only 1.76! I've been looking for a good local donut place and I've found it! read more

Local spot. Came here one morning to surprise my coworkers but was told I was essentially ordering too much. I understand a small business being blindsided by a large order, but I think the conversation could've been handled differently. I'd come here again for the convenience, I wouldn't because of the $10 minimum for card, the fact that they do not have bagels, and their mediocre iced coffee. read more

Went in this morning and bought half a dozen donuts. Price said $5.99, but was charge $8.40... keep in mind I just got regular donuts with your normal glazes (i.e. chocolate). I asked why was there such a huge price difference and I was told it was sales tax. You got to be kidding me. A 40% mark up? Please be more honest with yourselves because sales tax is 8.25% in the area. Buyers beware! read more

Good donuts for good prices + coffee is nice. Come here anytime we do laundry and the lady is nice. If you are paying below ten bucks, it is cash only I think, but they have an ATM in here and the takeout nextdoor is cash only so it works. Lady is nice and gives us extra sometimes. read more

I usually come in when I do my laundry, they're coffee is better then most donut spots the donuts are not the best but the service for me has been amazing. read more

I use to come here all the time when i was young. My dad would buy me a custard filled maple bar, and 10 glazed donut holes to go. Then, when i got older, i started LOVING their Apple fritters.. Seriously, the apple fritters are to die for. The side is crunchy and soft at the same time. The glaze melts in your mouth, and then when you get to the middle, it's heaven. Everything just melts in your mouth. Sometimes, i'll just go to the donut shop to get myself an apple fritter. Depending on the time or the day, the owner would sometimes give me a free one to go. SO NICE! Other items that taste equally as yummy are: -the french donuts. (chocolate, glazed, maple) -reg. Glazed donuts -sugar donut -maple bar! -donut holes -old fashioned maple donut thanks Krispy Kreme for leaving, if you didn't, i wouldn't have found my way back home to the place that once made me feel fuzzy and warm in the inside and smiley and jolly in the outside :D read more

Solidly mediocre donuts. The selection is usually pretty poor. The decor is odd as well. It feels old, dark and unloved. But alas it is the closest donut shop to my house so I will probably keep going there. read more

My daughter and I come here often. The day is always friendly. We get the powdered donut holes and glazed donut.

My boyfriend and i went in around 230 pm and the whole shop is empty except for the one worker who is seated watching tv. She gets up to help us while we are deciding what donuts to order, i guess we were taking too long as she said something along the lines of "well i guess you dont want any" i found that to be incredibly rude of her. The donuts arent even as good as they used to be, i just didnt have time to drive to HAPPY DONUTS in pinole today. Next time i think I'll be late and take the drive read more

Very small donut shop but good donuts & coffee. They have day made and 1 day old donuts. Sold separately of course. Good enough to kill the sweet tooth. Please support your community owed stores !!! read more

OMG bought $15 worth of donuts. Got home ready to have one and bite in to it. The most thickest tough dough and tastes like it was yesterday's order. Gross no more. Yuck!!!!!! read more

Best donuts in the east bay outside of KingPin's Fresh Donuts in Berkeley. I've known the owner's at this place since I was 8 years old... and developed a relationship with the family because the donuts were that good! Great spot! I recommend the Powdered Sugar donut holes... the french curlers.. the raised... or the chocolate bars. If my dad was still alive... he would yell at me for not mentioning the Chocolate covered cinnimon rolls. read more

I wish they were a lil' cheaper but hey! I love those hand shaped apple filled ones & the atmosphere. It's usually quiet in the evenings & everything is fresh. I love coming & spending my money in a cool community. Keep serving those apple filled ones just for me! read more

Came in today to get a dozen doughnuts, friendly smiles and voices upon entering. The woman who helped me was really nice and helpful with selection. Will be back to support local, thanks for being upon Labor Day! read more

They make it very hard to want to buy doughnuts there: At 7:00am they complain about having to fill an order for several dozen. When they tell you to order ahead next time, and then you do, they give you a hard time about that too. When you go in to pick up the order, the counter clerk is watching "Fox & Friends" but yelling expletives at the pro-Trump story on the TV. I tried, Neighbors. Three times. Done. read more
