All Star Donuts - El Cerrito

Many years ago, after visiting Bart from Richmond, I would get off at El Cerrito PlZ station and go to AllStarts Donuts and sit 30min to have a cup of coffee and donuts. I would sit there and study almost every day. It was the only store opened at 6:00. The owners are always friendly and have great customer service. And of course the donuts are always fresh. Now I can say it's just 5 minutes walk from my apartment.

Thai tea is legit actually strong real tea! What I needed today. Friendly people too. In any case, you will check the rest of the menu. Bring cash, the card is expensive.

I'm floored that these had the best donut holes I've ever had. Pillowy, light, fluffy, slightly doughy, sweet, huge my girls and I devoured 12 (for $3.75). Cash only. I go to the UPS store next door a lot so this might be a new weakness.

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.

I ordered a few dozen for a party and I got rave reviews. I ate two myself and they were phenomenal. Well worth coming to El Cerrito Plaza.
