The donuts are great. Most of the time they will have some type of fresh out the oven flavors.

Kind staff, yummy donuts.

Been a fan of colonial my entire life, both this location and the one near Lake Merritt. But WOW. I am now their DEVOTEE! I've always loved their classic Raised and Old Fashioned. But today (Friday), I had to meet their new card minimum. Boy, am I glad there's that card minimum.Colonial has introduced new Mochi donuts, available only Fri-Sun. Made of a succulent and ooey-gooey rice-based paste, the donuts are just as pull-apart delicious as the standard donuts but with more body. I went with the passionfruit glazed, and wow. WOW.I'M GETTING MOCHI EVERY SINGLE TIME NOW!

Grew up going to Colonial Donuts on Lakeshore. Loved them?

Good selection of donuts at good prices. Fast, friendly service, patient when kids (and adults) are indecisive. Often a line of a couple people. Lottery outlet too.

Lots of regulars on weekend mornings but service is fast.

Good donuts but, there was a flu in the donut case. Bought two "creme filled" donuts that were actually custard. And it was an odd custard I did not like

Great donuts - but hot chocolate comes from a machine and is watery.

This is a good place if you want an old fashioned kind of donut. I went in during the early afternoon. What do you know? They had what I wanted—a "Chocolate Old Fashion", and it tasted good to me! And fresh, too. Usually when I go into a donut shop—even in the morning—they are out of Chocolate Old Fashions.I asked the friendly woman behind the counter if they made them in the back. She said they make them off-site, and bring more around when they are running low.Next time I want my favorite donut—I know who most probably will have what I want.
