Customer Reviews

The team at this location are always so kind and friendly. I stop here to get donuts for my family and we?re never disappointed.

10 out of 10 would recommend, & bring a friend. You will not regret eating at this place.

As a local, this donut shop has been the go to since I was a kid. The staff are always very friendly and welcoming, the donuts are always amazing. The only reason I rated it 3 stars is due to the prices being raised an unreasonable amount. $17-18 for a dozen donuts?! I used to be able to come in atleast twice a week to get my son (1 donut) and husband (2 donuts). This is now a once a month breakfast go to.

This is our family's favorite donut shop. They have a great selection of fresh donuts everyday. Regular and specialty. If you love custard they fill to order.

I?m giving this donut shop a 5 star review because it?s been here forever and so has the people that own it. I really respect that they have been serving our local community for so long and I think it?s important to support the local mom and pop businesses like this one. After my Jiu Jitsu lesson at Growth Mindset Collective, which is just up the street from this donut shop, I like to grab a donut from here.

I used to enjoy popping into this place, but it seems like they don?t care for their customers anymore?many occasions they run out of condiments for coffee/tea, and their customers service is garbage.

Quick service. But lacking variety, I heard about this prior to visiting. I thought there would be "giant donuts" not sure if they were sold out or not. But over all just a classic donut shop with your basic selections.

Best breakfast sandwiches ever in just as amazing donuts ???? ??

For an apple fritter, it was on the small size. It was good quality though.

The donuts here are so tasty. Love the apple fritters and blueberry fritters especially. Even the donut holes are yummy!! It's now 2024, and the donuts are still delicious ?? and moist! They have added breakfast sandwiches now..soooo good!

Every time I take my mom for her apple fritter, this is the only place I go!! Always fresh, always a great variety and very nice staff. Always customers coming and going but never a wait!

Fresh, delicious doughnuts at 6am! Served with a smile and quick service! I go here whenever I am in town.

This Woman Has To Be Sweetest With Customer Service & Donuts Are Delicious ??!. Thank You For A Great First Time Experience & I'll Definitely Be Back ??!!.

These are thee best donuts and the blueberry fritter has to be the best one I?ve ever ate! The women who checks us out is so sweet!

Absolutely the best donuts in town. super fresh. Great, Friendly service. Highly recommend

Do you want a friend or amazing donuts?? Too many people worrying about how they are treated when your interaction should be limited to 4 words ?A dozen donuts please.? This place has the best donuts in Oakley. When they run out of something they replenish with hot fresh donuts. I?ve had them so fresh the frosting and glaze is dripping off. Why? Because they sell out and make new fresh donuts daily! You want a fancy coffee?? Go to Starbucks! They are paid to smile and this family owned business is paid to

I know donuts! These in shop made morsels of heaven are scrum-dilicious! But more important! The people who own the store are the sweetest,friendliness,respectful,humble, and nicest people ive ever met in my life. Go just to say hi. They deserve to be packed everyday. THIS IS WHAT A TRUE AMERICAN IS Check it out and see why

It has likely been a decade since I?ve had a Giant Donut as I moved out of state after college. But it is still the standard by which I judge all donuts. Maple old fashioned and chocolate sprinkle will never let you down.

New menu, jackd prices. New generation of family took it over ??. 5.50 for a ham and cheese croissant that has barely any cheese and two slices of ham

Donuts are yum but my review is for the Filipino lady/guy was rude to a customer bc he forgot his mask. It?s early morning come on no need to be rude he apologized. But worker was annoyed and threw the tongs made a loud noise seemed hostile. I think he/she was judging the person on their appearance. Nobody wants to deal with this negativity in the morning.

Awesome local little donut shop. Quick in and out visits. Fresh donuts are no doubt the best, even if they aren't the donuts are still bomb?? I love heating up the jelly donut when I get home for like 7/9 seconds. ???

This place has been around for a while and i have been coming here ever since I was a little kid. Their doughnuts are phenomenal and their coffee. The staff are super nice as well. They rock!

Can?t say they?re the best donut shop ever, but no complaints either. Been coming here since 2007 when we moved in the neighborhood and still coming and no complaints. Beats Krispy Kreme?s price and taste if that helps.

The ham and cheese croissants used to be the best. When I go early in the morning to grab a ham and cheese croissant and 2 maple French crullers, they are always out of the French crullers. I give up on this place and wait till I'm at Bailey rd on my commute to grab what I'm craving.

The ONLY place you should ever go for donuts and ham and cheeses! YUM! I live in Brentwood and make the drive alllll the way to this donut shop when we want donuts this place is the freaking best!

The donuts were pretty good. I had a maple bar, my son and husband both had Apple fritters and we all enjoyed them!

I love this place, they have the best blended mocha's around and way cheaper than any place else. The owner is very nice too. I go there at least once a week if I can.

The blueberry fritter is amazing and will make you look at apple fritters like 2nd fiddles ??

It lives up to the hype! Donuts are very good(especially the cinn roles) great actually. Coffee is always fresh. Service is pretty good. Always consistant.

It would be nice to go in the later afternoon & still have a selection of donuts to choose...Some customers do eat donuts at this time too...Practically every time we have stopped in to purchase the selection is terrible...FYI maybe it would be a good idea to make more then I could change the 1 star to 5 stars...TY

Giant Donuts has always been oakleys pinnacle of donut shops around. They are open real early, so thats a plus for the working man to get a bite and a cup of coffee before work. They have been around before most of the vintage housing was even constructed. So its mark in oakley has been very well known and prominent for the citizens that grew up here. One thing I like to enjoy here is thier cresant ham & cheese, warmed up. its cheap, its delicious and will satiate youre appetite. Giant Donuts has been aroun

this is my absolute favorite place to get donuts. everything is baked fresh and melt in your mouth good. very friendly.

Love this place, always have my favorites

The donut holes and donuts are great here. Very great prices too. It?s good to have a place like this around.

Been coming here since 94?. Always had great service! They always hook it up with the extra donut holes.

Delicious donuts! Good coffee and an assortment drinks and food to get your day going. Highly recommend it!

These are the best donuts I've ever had and they actually are fairly large donuts. The best is when you get a fresh batch and they are still hot.

It has great Ham and Cheese Croissants. They are more expensive then many other similar places but still price is no reason to leave a lesser rating

This is my local donut shop. We love them and will always support. Donuts are always good!

Fantastic blueberry fritters... And Apple fritters too!!! Perfect amount of crunch.

Good donuts and good prices. The staff generally isn't overly friendly, but they are polite and I prefer that to be honest

The young lady was very friendly. Donuts and coffee ? is really good. Great price too.

Was at the shop at 430am....asked for warm donuts...employee said no donuts were warm...employee was not happy...made me feel uncomfortable so I left. Yucky place

Woman behind the counter didn't acknowledge us, even after saying hello 3 times. Left, called for manager, guy on phone was nice & apologetic.

the owner was very rude asked for a blended mocha she rolled her eyes. When she finished she said 3.75 i said id like to get donuts too she said with an attitude which ones. will not return

Donuts are always fresh. Staff has always been patient with my special needs son as he tries to decide what he wants.

Oh so good. We went here when we lived here 20 years ago and they're still an amazing donut!!

My family?s favorite donut shop!!!! I?m nineteen and have gone since I was a kid.

Been coming here for years and will continue too!!!! Love supporting this local business Just get there early to claim your favorites!!!

I've been going here since a kid and its still just as good! Good prices. Opens early, always fresh

Doughnuts are awesome but the young Asian lady was very rude and unfriendly her customer service was horrible.

Bagel breakfast sandwich was so good and the Apple and Blueberry fritters were delicious ????

Giant prices maybe but as far as size and selection goes, don't wait for someone to shout out "thar she blows" or even an occasional "you won't find one of those in Walmart"

Yummy donuts like I loved as a kid. Not the friendliest staff, but always yummy options.

Love taking the kids here to get doughnuts.

Uses to be very good but last time the donuts were not good. Too small and filled with air.

Love this place. Everyone so sweet
