Customer Reviews
Ming?s knows how to make a donut! Honestly the best donuts I?ve ever had - and I?ve tried many donuts across the country. The consistency of the dough was soft and moist. Very appetizing! Loved this donut joint.
Fast service delicious fresh doughnuts
As someone who never writes reviews I felt I was obligated to share my thoughts on this donut shop. I have been looking for good donuts since high school (08 grad) and this place blew my mind. They have the best, fluffiest donuts I have ever had the privilege of stuffing my face with. Their jelly filled donut has the perfect ratio of filling to donut and the owners are super friendly. If you're going to give this place a try I'd recommend getting here early as they have limited stock as the morning progress
Excellent, so good you have to go early!
9 out of 10 for sure Ming's donuts I've heard has been a local favorite for years in San Leandro so I had to see why....there customer service is so sweet and positive, and of course the donuts were delicious!!!! Thank you Ming's we will be back!
Bear claw is the best tasting donut i have ever eaten. Fresh and the apple filling is not too sweet but fruity delicious. If you are a regular customer, she will give you a free donut or two with your order.
I stop in here every single day for a coffee and croissant. Great, very friendly service. Family owned. Awesome donuts. Good coffee. Chill atmosphere. Get there before 1 pm, they often sell out of donuts around noon, because they are good.
Blueberry donuts and French Crullers are off the chart. French Crullers are light and fluffy. Services was great very friendly. Great to see many elders hang out and drink coffee and eat donuts in the early morning and I can see why. Been here a few times and great experience everytime. Not to missed if you are a donut fan.
Best Donuts in San Leandro. Probably the best standard donut shop in the Bay Area. Standard meaning all your typical glazed, jelly-filled, powdered, etc. Good prices too. 5 stars for that category. Super nice owners.
I am a donut fiend. But not just any donuts, I am a bit picky. Ming's donuts are like fluffy little fried clouds of heaven. You won't find the new age lavender or jalapeno or blueberry donuts that cost like $3 a piece. You will however find delicious classics like jelly, glazed, old fashioned at reasonable prices.
Best donuts anywhere, period.
Fresh donuts ?? but pricey a dozen 14.50
The cleanest donut stop I've ever been to. The donuts are amazing and the staff makes you feel at home. Drop in and you'll be back soon!
I'm not exaggerating when I say Ming's has the best donuts I've ever had. I've been there everyday for my birthday since I started school, and more throughout the year. They also have good service and beverages as well.
Best place to get apple fritters!! Best apple fritters by far in any doughnuts place. Biggest fritters. But they go fast and don't last, so buy a couple when you go. Not good if you're staying away from sweets--but so tasty!!??
Ive been coming here since I was a kid. Hidden gem in San leandro, Ive been to every donut shop in the bay area, this place is the best.
Very fresh donuts, open early and fast service but their attitudes are a bit off. They don't make eye contact and sometimes throw your donuts/food down on the counter and slide it at you instead of handing it to you. And the "thank you have a nice day" is very robotized so much that they say it two or 3 times even while I'm waiting for my food and it's nerve racking. I notice everything.
Best Donuts in the area. Tastes like they used to back in the day.
Come early if you want the best selection, as they can and do run out. The apple fritters are my favorite, but I've never had anything bad from them. The prices are incredibly low, too!
Friendly & attentive workers. Prices keep creeping up (white board used as menu so can easily change prices) but a place for a once in a while treat.
Donuts are good . The three stars is because.... i asked if they could put chocolate glaze on a cinnamon roll and not only did they say no they said it wasnt possible... they just brought out a tray of chocolate glazed donuts.
I love these donuts. French and Old fashion are my favrites, but today I got there at 4:10am and got to try specialties like crispy/flaky cinnamon bars, super good. And the coffee, I'm not an expert on coffee, but this is the best tasting coffee I know of. Once a year I visit from Idaho and Ming's is one of three places I must visit, Ming's Donuts, Porky's Pizza... By the way, even my picky dog Bosco likes Ming's donuts. Here he is looking for Ming's in the afternoon, but of course they close at two and som
Best donuts in San Leandro, definitely try the blueberry donuts. I didn't think I was going to like them, but they're great. Also, solid bagels and cream cheese if you are feeling that way.
High quality old school donuts, The Best by far. Great clean environment
My grandfather used to come here in the 1980s, and started to take me as a child in the early 1990s. Fantastic establishment, with a sprinkle of nostalgia. Some of the best donuts you can find
One of the best parts of my day is going to the range right by this area. Getting a ham and cheese croissant and just enjoying it before I start work. Some of the tastiest doughnuts and croissants around.
I love their jalape?o bagle with cream cheese and their donuts, fresh as always !! They may close early if their donuts run out, so I suggest you go before noon :))
I have no idea how the donuts are here. There was no one after us, I was showing my daughter the options, and the lady was keep pushing us to decide quickly. We left. I don't like rude customer service.
They're donuts are wonderful with a friendly staff.ham and cheese croissants the best for quick breakfast and yummy in your tummy.
Probably the best donuts in San Leandro. Their crumb donuts are a family favorite and their ham/cheese pastries are good too if you're looking for some savory!
I?ve been eating MING?S DONUTS for over 20 years; I have a body to show for it. I measure the quality and taste of donuts by their CRULLER. I consider myself an unofficial aficionado of the donut CRULLER. I?ve taste many around the Bay Area. It is from this empirical data that IMING?S DONUT SHOP in San Leandro does the best CRULLER in the Bay. Don?t believe me? Taste one for yourself. Go to MINGS!
Such an off the beaten path place for the best donuts I have tasted in the US. I go to California once a year and set my schedule to go here on my way to the airport. Really...incredible every time.
my family?s go to donut spot for years, always very friendly service and great donuts
A classic mom n pop donut joint that's been around since forever. Always a popular place no matter the time of day. Staff is super friendly and helpful.
The best family and donut maker around around been coming here close to 40 years one of the oldest businesses still surviving in S.L.
The best donut shop around. Opens @ 4am-3pm. Some of the neighborhood elders sit there and chat, drink coffee and enjoy their donuts.
Donuts & service excellent. I would've like more donut options but they were out of sprinkles when I visited
Mings Donuts are the best of the best!! I hope they will continue to make the same high quality and delicious donuts throughout the years.
I do come in here and pick up a couple of bear claws for my mid day sweet tooth satisfaction. The folks at work like the donut holes, so I indulge them with a box now and then.
Easily THE BEST apple fritter I?ve ever had. Not always very friendly behind the counter but the donuts are totally worth it
One of the best Ham and Cheese Croissants you can get in the bay area. Always friendly and quick service.
Their maple donuts are the BEST maple donuts I've ever had! Holy moly!
This place has the best ham and cheese croissants you can ever taste I don?t eat breakfast but I can eat that every morning!
