Customer Reviews

Been going here for years now but lately I've been sensing some animosity towards black people. I haven't been here for a few months and decided to visit again but recently I'm noticing that the owner/server treats people differently. White/white passing people are greeted warmly and the engagement is open and welcoming but when a black person is being served, there's no greeting, the conversations is very clipped and unwelcoming and the overall atmosphere is uncomfortable. If you don't like the color of my

I visited this place on 4/25/25 and the lady behind the counter greeted a group of Mexican men with a smile and greeting before taking their order. Once it was my turn she never smiled, she didn?t greet me, all she said is ?what can I get you? so I ordered 5 cinnamon twists and she looks at me and ask can I pay cash. I said sure but I didn?t hear you ask anyone else that question. I pull out a 20 dollar bill and she told me to place it on the counter. I told her no that I worked hard for this money and that

Next time you are on the way to airport or Oracle arena stop by Quality donuts .The Best Donuts in The Town ,always fresh not to heavy or thick just right. The location is also right at top of Hill get a good view of Oakland from here .

Seriously some solid Donuts. Nothing bad to say about them. Great prices. Would come back for more.

What can I say? They have your regular selection of doughnuts. No French Cruller which is the doughnut I like. On the early 7am Saturday morning I took our kids, the place was busy with people in and out. Prices were good compared to some other doughnut shops.

I've been coming here since I was a little girl and the donuts are still outstanding!

I?ve lived blocks away for months now and can never catch them when they are open and I have cash on hand. The hours posted here are incorrect, but they don?t have them posted in store. The selection is minimal but the quality is good, everyone seems to enjoy them more than the other places I?ve got donuts.

We love this quality doughnuts the owner and the stuff is really nice and friendly my daughter loves it. Also great price.

Delicious donuts and the staff was super friendly.

Bought a surprise bag thru Too Good to Go app for $5.99 and basically got a dozen donuts. They were fresh and yummy.

this place has been here forever and if you go you will know why! Donuts are always freshly made each morning and are so delicious! My favorite are the old fashioned donuts, very few places make them correctly. My son loves everything here, and the owners are a kind sweet couple that always welcome you with a smile! Don't be shy, stop on by! Remember cash only.

Love having Quality Doughnuts up the hill from our house. The yeast doughnuts are to die for - so light and fluffy. And the prices are unbeatable. Apple fritter and maple bar are our favorites. Try it!

Prices are good, location is nice however that's about where it ends. Apple Fritter was inedible due to how greasy and flat it was, like a saucer of a fritter. The plain glazed and donut holes were just ok.

So good! Super fresh course. I did get it at 5:40 in the morning but it's so delicious!

Looked and smelled great, but CASH ONLY establishment.

Very nice lady that was working in there. The donuts were super fresh and tasty! The coffee was hot and perfect. Happy to have stumbled on the donut shop. When I am in the area, I will definitely stop in to start my morning off!

OMGoodness delicious! There is nothing here I would not devour and they are so very, very kind here. They make the MOST scrumptious apple fritters here!!! Now that I've said that I hope they don't start selling out sooner. We moved out of town 5 years ago but when we come back, we make it a point to go to QD. You will not be dissapointed!!!

Small, unremarkable but cheap and decent quality donuts. 2 flavors of coffee and some milk and other odds and ends in the fridge. It's the only business in the middle Oakland hills in this area so it is much appreciated.

They used to be the best donut place around. But NOW they have been serving me day old donuts. I called to talk this matter out but I got hung up on. After I told the lady the last 4 times I came in she gave me non fresh donuts. So I called back 5 times they picked up the phone but wouldn't say anything. So she knows.

This is one of the few businesses residents of Millsmont can walk to easily. The owners are so friendly, and the old fashioned donuts are great. I always get the unglazed, and I always give a little crumb to my dog because she will now patiently wait for me outside. There is a refrigerator with milk and orange juice available, and there are thermoses of hot coffee waiting for you! I've always thought this business should open a little rooftop garden seating area, because there is no place to sit outside an

If you want jelly donuts you better get there early! If your there after 10am they're gone :( good donut selection, reasonable price and convenient. Parking can suck though

Best the town has to offer. Been eating here for over 20+years.????. it?s safe to say this is the spot.

Breakfast breakfast breakfast. The Jalepeano and ham croissant is the Bomb! Fresh doughnuts all the time and they do do reasonable requests. Average prices for products.

I've been coming to this donut shop since I was very young and I love their doughnut holes and maple bars. The people are super friendly and reasonable prices.

Great store, have not been in a while but one of the places that got me through the pandemic.

A nice place for some homemade donuts. The yeast donuts have a light and satisfying texture with good taste. Good prices.

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

The ladies here work very hard and are very lovely!

The staff is friendly and the donuts are delicious. Their prices are resonable.

This is the best donut shop ever! They are so nice and their donuts are high quality!
