Hometown Donuts

Always really easy experience here and tried there ham and cheese croissant for the first time. Highly recommend although I mainly come here for there buttermilk bars.

I really love this place the fries are super good and also the donuts are Delicious and Its very close to my school. The Only thing is that there is no public restroom.

Hands down the best donuts on the island, and the owners are always so sweet!

The whole family is awesome. But grandma is the best. Always sneaking me a donut. Forever my donut stop.

The perfect donut shop. Great selection, delicious donuts, and a good price!

This is a great place to get donuts and other things the owner husband and wife are great keep up the great work

Always love this place. They have burgers and fries too! And bags of Cheetos with melted cheese if you ask.

I LOVE this place. I love the owners and the make the best donuts.

It's a family based , homie type place, nice , friendly efficient service, and conviently close to where I live, with a nice park and touristy places acrossed the street and the immediate area!

Been going here since I was 7 now I’m 30

Best old school donuts on the island, and if order a few and you are nice they may throw down extra donut holes in your bag.

I came back to Alameda after 18 years and was surprised to see this shop still here. I came everyday before school for sunflower seeds and donuts. I am 35 and back then, I was 14-17. They weren’t super duper friendly growing up and well that has not changed. At least they’re consistent. They were not mean or rude but it wasn’t a hi how are you with a smile. I wasn’t getting warm service. Just basic. I felt like I needed to hurry and order. The 5 star is for longevity. I did get a donut that I brought back to Virginia to my husband and he seemed to enjoy it. I’m happy they’re still there and hope they continue!!

Wonderful people. Customer service is super friendly, donuts are incredible. Definitely get their custard filled maple bars! This IS a kid friendly establishment. They treat little ones and young adults with kindness and respect. Love bringing my kids here.

Amazing donuts made by equally amazing people. The staff here is so friendly and always so happy. You can taste the love these donuts are made with. I try to pick up a box of a dozen donuts for our photo shoots and everyone on set loves them. I always look forward to coming back and getting more.

I've driven past this place so many times, and I decided to try it out today and my only regret is that I didn't come here sooner! The owner was so nice and there was a good selection of donuts and the biggest croissants I've ever seen in a donut shop, they looked so good, I will definitely get them for breakfast next time. Pricing was great and fair, and the donuts are SO DELICIOUS!! I got the chocolate glaze with sprinkles/cake toppings, mini apple fritter, donut holes and chocolate buttermilk bar (which is now my favorite!!). 10/10, and they serve lunch, so I will also come back for the burgers!!!

I really love this place and the owners. Our Family has grown with them. We've been coming here for 21 years. They're truly the best donuts around. I don't know what they do to their donuts but they're amazing! Great family, great donut shop. This is the only place we go.

I have been going to Hometown Donuts forever. I use to sit down in one of the booths and enjoy a cup of coffee and a donut or two. Since the pandemic, you cannot sit in the booths. Henry is the owner and both his variety and quality is hard to beat. Check Hometowns hours as I don’t think they are opened on Sundays. The internet needs to be corrected. Enjoy!

The nicest people in the world. The people who run this restaurant are really nice. Their donuts are the best and are inexpensive compared to others. I love them 🥰

Always a great choice for a hearty breakfast. Staff is nice and attentive and not only can you choice from homemade donuts but you can also order a full meal from their menu. Small location so be prepared to wait on a weekend.

The donuts are great. The sausage and cheese croissants are amazing. I also drop in on occasion for lunch. I love that Henry knows all of his regulars by name. Not something you see much these days.

Go there for GREAT donuts and lunch food. SUPER nice family who work hard making TASTY donuts and other items. LOVE this place and the Family!!! BTW... other donut places in Alameda try but their donuts NEVER are anywhere near as tasty.

Nice people, good and fresh donuts and they even make other stuff like burgers or grilled-cheese sandwiches. You don’t see stuff like that very often but it’s really cool…

Holy will power! I stopped to use the atm. And then there were donuts. The smell is amazing. The selection was perfect. And biggest surprise the coffee was rich and fresh. Definately worth a visit.

Delicious donuts and exceptional service in the Bay Area. It’s a tradition in my family and a must-visit whenever I return home.

Just a lovely little neighborhood donut shop. Nothin' fancy! But there it is when you need it!

Love so much about this place! The old school feel, the super nice owners, and the crispy edges of the fantastic donuts. Can't believe it took me this long to come here, but it is my new happy place.

Great quiet place to grab some fresh donuts and pastries. Owners are super friendly and offer amazing service

The donuts here are so fresh and nice. The donut holes are a crowd pleaser and the ham cheese and jalapeno croissants are amazing. One of my favourite breakfasts with a nice cup of coffee. The glazed and the sugar donuts are super soft Don't drive past this place stop and grab a donut and a coffee. You will be happy you did

Really nice people. The product are fresh from the day and they don’t have any waste. Everything is sold in a few hours. So you have to wake up early if you want to buy some good donuts.

Neighborhood style donut shop in West Alameda. Stopped by on way to catch ferry to San Francisco. No vegan options. Near USS Hornet Museum. Small free parking lot.

Homey place, donuts are good, but nothing fancy. Good place for donuts if you are looking for basics!

Good donuts and nice people. They have burgers and fries and sandwiches too.

Small mom and pop place that has REAL apple fritters. They have real apples in them. Awesome, off the beaten path kind of place.

Every cinnamon roll I've bought had that fresh out the oven smell & flavor.

I don't go there that often, but I've loved the place when the Naval Air Station be was in operation. Lots of memories.

Clean no frills shop with tables to sit. Great donuts, especially the apple fritters. Great burgers and chicken patty sandwiches. They also sell numerous drinks, lotto tickets and ice cream. Parking in both the front and back of shop. Best to call in burger orders since it can get busy when the high school kids have lunchtime.

Fresh doughnuts at fair prices and good coffee

Great little donut shop. They donuts are good but nothing out of the ordinary.

Customer service in here is bad, the old guys need to be respectful with their customers. They seem unprofessional and rude.

Ordered an assortment of donuts and only received plain. What gives? An assortment usually means a variety, glazed, chocolate, etc. I only got plain. So disappointing and won’t be ordering again. Wish I could get my money back.
