Frequently asked questions about All Star Donuts
All Star Donuts El Cerrito Reviews
BEST doughnuts outside Krispy Kremes!!👏👏👏 Doghnuts aren’t worth the fat, sugar and gluten usually but this place - IS! I stumbled across it years ago and couldn’t believe how good they were. Light, moist, fluffy vs dense, old or dry. Carmely flavors bcs they’re cooked right and have good recipes. You can tell there are so many regulars that come here… Excited for what they’re about to get, versus other strip mall donut places where random scrappy people saunter in, desperate for sweet, no matter the quality. I avoid gluten sugar, grains and deep fried anything lol. But this is my cheap easy vice☺️ Literally face-plant into these clouds of heavenly floof!
Once again doing a review for one of my favorite local doughnut shop, and they now serve Vietnamese iced coffee! Aside from my favorite breakfast butter croissant egg and sausage sandwiches and bagels! It’s definitely a you can have a chat with the owners ! I’ve been a customer for the past 14 years !!
This place has the most delicious croissant sandwiches! The photos show a #10 with egg instead of meat. Very generous portions and super reasonably priced. The employees are really nice, too. This place beats the Starbucks next door anytime!
I've been coming to this donut shop for years since they have the biggest and freshest tasting donuts around. Whenever I come, I always order at least a dozen or more so that it will last me a couple of days. The donuts are very soft and fluffy, especially when you get them very early in the morning. The difference in taste and quality is very apparent as the donuts suit in the case throughout the day. They also have a pretty good selection of donuts, muffins, and other pastries. One of the things you have to try is the gigantic croissants, which are like bear paw size. The croissants are buttery, fluffy inside, and flaky on the outside. They also have savory sandwiches available cooked to order and they are really good too. The owners are nice and will sometimes throw in an extra here and there as a bonus for your business. They used to only take cash but recently when I went they started taking credit cards with a minimum of $10 purchase otherwise they will charge a small fee to offset the credit card company's fee. This is a really nice local business that has been serving the city of El Cerrito's residents and visitors for years. Pardon the attached photo, we couldn't wait to eat the donuts since they were still warm when I got them. Haha 😄 🤤🤤
Silky smooth textured donuts that are delicious and reasonably priced. Highly recommended. Staff are very kind and friendly as well. I will be back :-)
Convenient location, short walk from El Cerrito Plaza Bart Station. Family run, nice people. Ordered the dozen doughnut holes and strawberry italian soda, all for $6.60 only had $6, they were kind enough to over look $.60. Fresh pastries. Next to Starbucks and Kyoto Ramen, UPS, great company.

I used to get all their fancy donuts like maple or cinnamon or a bear claw but eventually I landed on their plain glazed donut- I know it’s basic- but they are so good. I always ask if they have any hot glazed donuts and if I’m lucky they do and it’s a divine experience.
I’ve been going here for nearly 25 years — best donuts around!
Amazing donuts that are fresh and soft. Their Vietnamese coffee is also to die for, but the cherry on top is the amazing staff and service. Every-time I go I am greeted with warmth and hospitality that keeps me coming. I just moved in the neighborhood and am excited to be a regular!
My absolute favorite donut shop. 5-star staff and 5-star donuts. the shop is always clean, no flies or crumbs and they make the BEST Thai Iced Tea and they have many different Italian Soda syrups as well.
All Star Donuts is one of my favorite places for a quick sweetness kick. I come in about once every week or so for the #4 bagel with cream cheese, cucumber, and tomato, and donut. The woman who works there is always so friendly. She throws in three donut holes every time I come in (and they are so good and fluffy!). My favorite donut is the cinnamon twist. It is huge and I am usually only able to eat half. Seriously, it is huge. There is a small charge if you are paying with card and your total is under $10, but most of the time I find myself spending at least that amount for a few donuts and my bagel. The prices are reasonable and the quality and warmth from the workers are well worth it. There are a handful of tables where you can sit and eat, but there are signs advising you to stay no longer than 30 minutes. I find myself only there for about 15, so that really has never been an issue. Either way, I doubt they are gonna kick you out. This has been one of my favorite places since moving to El Cerrito!
I love this place and have been going for years. The quality of food remains fantastic and the owners are so kind and lovely, definitely helps cheer up an early morning. I used to work in a bakery and these donuts here are the best I’ve had since. Very fluffy and doesn’t taste like a manufactured sweet flavor at all (like some corporate chains). Hope to keep going here!
The best old school donut shop in the bay area. Consistently, great taste and selection across the menu. Come here if you’re interested in getting some of the best traditional donuts, not super fancy or gluten-free or anything like that. Just a great donut overall. Traditional glazed is hard to be beat. Especially if you come early in the morning when they are still fresh out of the oven.
🤗Hey Donut🍩☕️🥐 Lovers, let me tell you of my experience at All Star💫 Donuts in El Cerrito Plaza. I was heading home after doing some shopping, as I approached the shop I decided to step in, it was late in the day the owner Jenna and her young son we're getting ready to close up shop, I purchased a few Donuts add to my delight I was treated to a complimentary donut. I can't begin to tell you how delicious the Donuts were, in my opinion it was the best donut I had ever eaten, FRESH just enough glaze. I had a manicure appointment the very next day, and I stepped in the shop again, Jenna had everything SHOWCASED sBEAUTIFULLY, the shop was CLEAN the PASTRIES & DONUTS were just MOUTH-WATERING 🤤😚😋 I went back after my manicure appointment to purchase a couple more donuts for my MIDNIGHT SNACK 🤑 so if it's your week to bring donuts to work..... head on over to All Star Donuts, Jenna will "HOOK YOU UP" but try not to eat half the Box before you actually get to work😋😅🤣😂👍
All Star Donuts is my favorite donut shop in the Bay Area!! Their croissant sandwiches are consistently delicious, their donuts are amazing, and the drinks are excellent. The Thai tea is my favorite- better than any boba shop! The staff at All Star are truly kind people and hard workers. I’ve been going here since I was a kid and they’ve always been so sweet and attentive to their customers. I can’t recommend All Star Donuts enough, next time you’re in the area give it a try, they’re a great local business to support!
I moved out of the bay 4 years ago and I still carve this place every day. I have gone here since I was 5 and have watched it change over time but they still have the absolute best ham and cheese croissant. The Thai tea and doughnut hold are so good as well. Still want to make a trip back soon for this place.
My son stopped in for a drink and asked for an apple fritter. The server gave him all he had left, presumably since he would close soon. The happiness and joy he shared when he got home was great. Thanks so much for your kindness.
Amazing. Wonderful sandwiches, was not expecting the bagels to be really good. Always friendly and great donuts! Love living in this area, would highly recommend.

Dustin and Jenna will hook you up on donuts and their taste good with soda

My favorite mom and pop donut shop in the area. The donuts are good, fresh and a fair price. The family behind the counter is nice and knows most of their customers. They have Thai iced tea which is a huge plus for me. Their breakfast sandwiches are tasty. My one complaint is their bagels, I wish they had more variety. Highly recommend if you need a quick breakfast.
My only complaint is that the person making my croissant egg and cheese wasn’t wearing gloves. Everything else was perfect, just wish they’d be a little more careful with food handling.
Their donuts are beautiful Here. I just got a Glaze and it was good
