Rainbow Donuts

Best place to get donuts! I've been going here a few years now and customer service is always polite and many choices of delicious, soft donuts to choose from!

I obviously couldn't wait until I got home. Lol the donuts were tasty and moist. The ladies behind the counter were friendly and got us in and out. Some times there can be a line, so plan accordingly, but again, the service was quick!

I was staying at the Holiday Inn Express around the corner and came here looking for an evening snack/dessert and was pleasantly surprised they still had a decent selection near the end of the day. I got a rainbow donut and a raspberry filled donut. Both were well done. I definitely enjoy fresh donuts and just the right amount of sugar coating/frosting. The interior isn’t the best for hanging out but a couple doors down is high wire coffee that pairs nicely… definitely recommend if you’re in the area!

I've been working in the area recently and heard great things about this place especially because they have vegan donuts. I'm not big on sweets but when i do indulge, vegan is the way to go for me! Decided to pop in this morning for a breakfast option -in addition to a WIDE VARIETY of donuts, they also make breakfast sandwiches. Your choice of breakfast meat along with egg & cheese or for the non-meat eaters egg & cheese which was my choice. You can get your sammie on a bagel, croissant or gasp- even a glazed donut! BE STILL MY HEART! I opted for the flaky croissant- did not disappoint. They cook it to order and it wasn't too long of a wait considering there was a huge line forming right at 9 am. They are consistently busy which is a good sign. Check them out!

The best tasting, and most amazing looking donuts anywhere! These people make edible art in a round format. Service is personal and quick. Sandwiches are made to order any way you want them. They also deliver to businesses. I've been coming here for years and it's great to have a small family shop continue to operate right in our neighborhood.

We got there at noon-ish on Saturday and they still had such an impressive selection of donuts. We got the red velvet, vegan blueberry, glazed, and sprinkles donuts. No other customers were present so it was a fast visit. When we later opened the box inside the car, we saw at least half a dozen donut holes thrown in! Yay!! The donuts were fresh and super flavorful. The inside is very cute with a lot of greenery.

This neighborhood donut shop offers both traditional and creatively modern flavors. If you like the “old fashioned” then your in for a treat. They had chocolate, maple, glazed, and plain flavors. If you want something new, I highly recommend the Crodonut. It is a combination of a croissant and a donut, and it is delicious. If you can turn your hungry eyes away from the display case, I encourage you to read the writings on the wall. They are amusing. And a tip, there isn’t a parking lot. Only metered street side parking. Which is a bummer. You literally have to pay to park in order to get some donuts. Or, you can go to Addison street, which is the next cross street and look for some free parking along the curb. Oh well. Whatever your solution. Still worth a visit. The maple old fashioned was solid. And the maple crodonut was life changing.

Cake within the donut is too notch. Icing not too sweet. Definitely among the best donuts I’ve had and I’ve had a lot.

Very creative donut shop with a lot of interesting decorations and combinations on their donuts, including smore's, rainbow, cookie monster, umami and others. Good location on busy San Pablo avenue and Berkeley. You may have to go around a bit to find parking.

Lucky me - my boss sent me a dozen donuts for Admin Professionals Day. Hands down, the best donuts I've ever had. So fresh and flavorful and a wonderful variety. Can't wait to go back and get more!

These donuts are just as delicious as they are beautiful. They have a combination of unique, fun 'instagrammable' flavors and traditional flavors. They even have a good amount of vegan options!

It's my favorite crossiant egg and cheese. Please buy avocados! And iced Almondmilk Latte for $4.50. Oh my goodness, you can still treat yourself monthly!

As a self-proclaimed sweet tooth connoisseur, I make a point of finding local bakeries wherever I travel — and Rainbow Donuts absolutely delivered. This unassuming Berkeley spot nails the classic glazed (and if a place can get that right, you know you’re in good hands) while offering a lineup of seasonal flavor explosions that keep things fun and unexpected. It’s the kind of place that feels local in the best way — friendly, unpretentious, and all about the joy of good donuts. Definitely worth a stop to satisfy any sugar craving while exploring the East Bay.

The best donuts in the Bay Area ! Best customer service ever , I had the apple fritter and the breakfast sandwich and let me tell you those were the best sandwich and donut I’ve ever had

Really good bagel egg sandwiches, good espresso drinks, and good donuts. Don’t really recommend the frappes but they have a lot of seating and it’s very cozy. Also a lottery machine.

Great Donut Shoppe! Friendly and helpful Staff. . . outstanding tasty and fresh donuts too! Well worth the trip. I've examined every review for this business and the negative reviews constitute less than 0.045 of 1%. The vast majority of Rainbow Donuts reviews are x5 Star! That tells you right there everything you need to know . . it's a great business! 💕👍

I took my daughter here after delivering a catering order. She wanted something sweet so we stopped in. The lady was really nice and I really appreciate that because my daughter was having a hard day. It's the little things that businesses can do for customers. Got to change the aspect of how we look at you so thank you

Stopped by Rainbow Donuts on Monday morning, and even though they were a little busy, I had a great experience! They have an amazing selection of unique and fun donuts. I picked up a dozen for my coworkers, and they were a hit—so tasty and perfectly balanced, not overly sweet. My personal favorite was the blueberry cake donut—absolutely delicious! I also grabbed a coffee, and everything was reasonably priced for the area. The service was excellent too—the lady who helped me was super attentive and friendly. Great combination of price, quality, and service! Definitely coming back.

I really like these donuts, so I’m a regular patron. However, today I was left disappointed. I ordered a 1/2 box, enjoyed one donut. The second donut I had split in half, my sis got the other half. While I was chewing my donut, I noticed myself chew on something a little harder than usual but I assumed it was a stray sprinkle or something. WRONG. It was a piece of hard metal. From where???? I don’t know but clearly it was baked(or fried?) INTO the donut dough. I don’t know who to take this up to, I don’t even know if I (or my sister) have possibly eaten any smaller metal pieces. I’ll definitely keep an eye out on this and if necessary, visit the hospital. This is terrible business, terrible hygiene, terrible experience.

Nasty hard, dry donuts. I ordered the day before pick up and they tasted like they made them the day I ordered them.

If I could put zero stars for the service and atmosphere I would. I will send the order here and got refused a drink that I paid for on DoorDash pick up. They wouldn’t refund my money and said that I’d have to take it out of Doordash, but Doordash wouldn’t give me my money back. The worst decision I ever made coming into this place. If you weren’t making any Frappuccino, you should’ve tipped it off your website for that day. I have been going here regularly for the past few months and today of all days is very disappointing. I will not come back here again. I instead went to dynamite donuts and had a wonderful experience. Thankfully, I contacted my bank and got it handled after providing evidence and photos.
