I stopped here before church. I hadn't been since about 2012. Back then it was only a donut shop and was owned by an Asian family. It seems they are now owned by a Latino family and have greatly improved both their donuts and their menu. I thought I was just gonna grab some coffee. When I saw the gourmet donuts and the expanded menu, I had to call my son and his friend inside so we could load up on pre-praise goodies. These were original, next level donuts, and they also do sandwiches and nachos. The staff was great as well, friendly and helpful. My favorite donut is the apple fritter. I tend to judge a donut shop by their fritter. Some of these new places make these little tan-colored things the size of a child's fist and try to call them an apple fritter. It's so insulting to the real donuts makers in the world. Quality Donuts makes REAL donuts. I have never in my life seen a bigger apple fritter than the one I got here. It was almost as big as my head. I had to split it with my son's friend. My son ordered the nachos, which he loved. Do yourself a favor and check out this cute little spot on just blocks off of the Edwards exit on 580. read more

I am very impressed with the upgrade - nothing too fancy, but they offer more options not just donuts - coffee, snacks, breakfast sandwiches, normal sandwiches and a variety of donuts. Service was very friendly and quick. We got two ham and cheese croissant sandwiches (each about $9). At first you think woooow that a massive croissant, but in my opinion it was smushed and for $9 there was not much to eat. Also got some donuts that were way too sweet. Overall it is great they changed it, but considering the price for what you get - not for me. read more

Quality Donuts has reputedly been here for 50ish years, recently had an ownership change. News to me. Expected to find only donuts. Now also has breakfast/specialty sandwiches as well as design ur own. Also coffee, snacks, cold drinks, ramen, chips..no seating. 3ish parking spaces outside. Longer hours..now accepts CC. Was greeted upon entering. Grabbed a cup of Joe. Pointed out a few donuts in the showcase. was asked if I wanted a sandwich? Said no. Then I noticed menu behind the counter. Sips: dark roast Columbian coffee (L. 3) -slight problem with lid. Coffee the usual donut shop quality, maybe Farmers Bros. Blandish. Nothing exciting. Bites: chocolate old fashioned (1.90) -chocolate sweet, donut firm. Haven't bought donuts for years. Eat it one in awhile when offered one. Apple Fritter (3.50) -very sugary firm outer texture. slightly mushy innards. Sweet Apple bits filling. 1st time, probably last. Didn't see French cruellar, my usual imbibe. 4ish stars: quick courteous service. Qualtity: donut ok, coffee disappointing. Quantity: reasonable. Haven't driven in this area for decades. read more

I'm confused by all of the positive reviews here. So many people proclaim these donuts are "light and fluffy" -- they are not! I got several yeast and cake donuts, and they were all worse than any supermarket donut I've ever had in my life. The yeast donuts are DRY, OLD, and DENSE-- they were certainly not fresh when I purchased them, and they were not labeled as being old; they were totally stale, and could be used as a hockey puck, they were that dry/dense/old. They were not "light and fluffy" as described by so many, sadly, which is the only reason I came here. It's like you're eating heavily dense bread with a glaze on top. If that's your thing, then you may enjoy these. The cake donuts were extremely hard as well, were also FANTASTIC candidates for being hockey pucks, and tasted of old oil. They were dense yet again, dry, stale, and so hard, that I couldn't even bite into them. I threw all of the donuts in the trash, and I will never return. read more

Quality Donuts - I wish the camera could capture how seriously dry, stale, old, dense, and hard this donut was. I had zero desire to photograph the others. - Donuts Near Me - Oakland, California

absolutely one of the best donuts i've ever had. and such a kind family running the place. a hidden gem in east oakland!

I recommend the apple fritters. They are humongous & worth every cent! I ate one in three sittings. So fresh!

I wish the old owners were still here. Horrible customer service! I had to ask her twice to place an order. She looked right at me and kept doing what she was doing! Horrible!!! They need to hire some staff who speak English and send their staff to customer service classes!! read more

I hope the owners are reading this. I've visited your shop a few times since the new ownership. I had a couple of sandwiches, apple fritters and the big cinnamon roll. I have no complaints about the food or the service but the flies and the gnats were a problem for me. Flies in the lobby area gnats behind the glass where the food is. Hopefully you can get that under control. read more

Lived in the area for many many years. Had been to quality donuts a few times but wasn't that excited about the product. I noticed some changes to the building and decided to go in. Yum. Yum! I had an apple fritter and jelly donut! Wow! What a major improvement!!! O usually frequent colonial donuts, but with these guys just a block away, no need to go any farther. Thier donut are amazing. I am going to try thier sandwiches next. They are open much later and more days!!! I wish them the best!! read more

so glad that this place found good new owners. Now they are open more hours too. I need a maple bar

Best apple fritter ever! It's like a cinnamon roll and apple fritter had a gorgeous delicious baby. One can last a person for days, it's a costco sized version of a donut. Now open 24 hours. Staff is friendly, and attentive. Will be back to try their new food options. read more

They are family owned, kind, and do their best to make customers happy. They're the new owners of our historic donut shop! They have the same baker, too.

This shop recently changed ownership and now serves sandwiches of various kinds as well as donuts. I had a delicious tuna fish sandwich today. It is a great part of the neighborhood. read more

So I had to take a detour due to some traffic stoppage on 880 and lucky me, Quality was open! I went in looking for the apple fritter and instead got an apple filled bear claw. They were out of fritters but is even better! The dough is very light and their apple filling must be homemade or of a very high quality because of the flavor of the apples. They are just tart enough and have some al denteness to them. I'm trying to watch my weight so I ate about half but oh man did I want to devour the whole thing. Please stop and support this hole in the wall business. Easy to park right in front and I would say the price is reasonable. $3 for this huge bear claw. read more

I've driven past this place for the last 3 months on my way to work. I haven't stopped in because I'm usually just about on-time to work. However I was craving donuts as made a conscious effort to leave a little early to try this place out, also I had heard that this place had gotten broken into and robbed. Not cool for mom and pop places. I got there and my go to in the donut arena is usually jelly filled donuts and french crullers though a lot of places don't make/have them. The staff are sweet and nice. You can tell the early risers had already been in and they are were restocking the donut window. It's not a fancy place, but like they say, location is everything. The jelly donuts were huge, so I opted for two raspberry filled, a regular twist and sugar donute. Last minute decided on 1/2 donut holes cuz they were enormous. Since it was my first time there and a lot of the co-workers go there, she apparently gave me some extra donut holes. The donuts were fresh and the jelly was a good amount. Will be back. read more

Fresh donuts, super cheap, lovely service! It's cash only which I usually don't get down with but I'll allow it because their prices are so low that credit card fees would really affect them.

The donuts are really good and not greasy. The prices have definitely gone up, but that's expected thanks to the prior government administration. read more

The shorter younger lady at the counter is rude. On 4/25/25 I went inside behind a group of Mexican men who entered first. I heard her greet them and saw her do it with a smile, their order was placed and then it was my turn. She didn't greet me and she didn't smile, instead she just said "what can I get you". I ordered 5 cinnamon twists which came up to 17.50. While she was still bagging them she asked if I could pay cash. I said sure but I didn't hear you ask those gentlemen that question. She didn't respond. I had a 20 dollar bill in my hand ready to give to her when she was finished bagging and then she says place the money on the counter. I said no and that I worked hard for my money and that she will take it from my hand when she is ready. She took the money and gave me my change and didn't say anything. She never thanked me for my business, never told me to have a great day or anything. Black people should not spend their money here. I've been coming to this shop for years but I haven't not been there all last year due to a car wreck. I believe she acted this way because she did not recognize me after not being a customer in so long plus I have a new hairdo. Either way this is not how you treat people let alone your CUSTOMERS. Black people let's spend our money where we are valued and respected. read more

I ordered a maple bar, duh, because what other doughnut dare rival her? As I took a bite, I heard Doja Cat sing to me. I can be your sugar when you're fiendin' for that sweet spot Put me in your mouth, baby, and eat it 'til your teeth rot... If you find yourself in East Oakland in need of a sugar rush, stop by and support this local business. The owner gave me a smile on the way out. Be sure to bring cash. read more

Has been the #1 Donut Shop since I was a kid growing up in East Oakland. I'm working on trying to get one of the ladies to smile although. She always has a grumpy look in the morning when I visit. But I still love their donuts read more

Well, I live in this neighborhood, and I don't find it all that scary. But if you're one of those folks scared of everything that has to do with your perception of "Oakland," then indeed you should find someplace else to go. The donuts, maple bars, apple fritters, and just about everything here are really, really good. The coffee is typical donut-shop stuff, better than Dunkin' Donuts, in my opinion, but not outstanding. The staff is really friendly, and they've always made a special point of thanking me for my purchase and making it clear that they appreciate my business. Which, of course, is a lot more than you can say about a lot of small businesses in East Oakland, including that dreaded Lee's chain. read more

Ewww. Coffee was nasty. I came here when I had to jump on 580, and my beloved Lee's is down the hill to far me. I seen, Pulled in. Coffe was Nasty, like warm lucid tar in a cup. Which costed me 2 bucks with no cup sleave. (YOU BASTARDS) I peeked behind the counter. Costco Coffee. Are you fuckin serious? Gee with the money I'm spending here I should be able to afford a Costco Membership Now I searched for my doughnut. No chocolate glaze Why???? I didnt ask for the butterscotch NO SPRINKLES No Dried Coconut NO PEANUTS. .So i settled for the blueberry dounut which looked like he begged for a home. These Doughnuts Need To Be Adopted. The people here are really just whatever about customers. It was a thick smell of oil and old coffee that filled my lungs of sadness and reeked my mind of never wanting to come here ever again. Please. Stay AWAY. Go to Lee's Doughnuts in eastmont mall. a lil ghetto but coffee is always fresh and so worth the extra 6 minutes read more

This is a great place for doughnuts, they only accept cash and if you go in the morning you'll see people pan handling by the door.
