Our Guestbook
“ Donuts are pricier than the normal donut shop but donuts are made with more care. Pistachio donut st 4.50 is pricey for the size but it tastes really good. Short line that comes and goes and there's sitting area inside which is actually super cute although it's kind of messy because there's no extra staff that is able to bus tables. ”
“ My favorite donut spot on the island! I've spotted them at Southshore on weekends, between Trader Joe's and Safeway. They're also available on the Too Good To Go app, where you can grab a half dozen. ”
“ Discovered these delicious donuts at the Lake Merritt farmers market when visiting recently! There were so many yummy looking ones but the staff helped me choose the best one for that day given the chilly weather. I went for the pumpkin donut and definitely was not disappointed! I got one for me and a treat for a friend to enjoy later. Such a delightful Saturday surprise. ”
“ A really diverse selection of donuts to choose from. I also enjoyed the latte. They have booths at the Old Oakland and Grand Lake farmer's markets as well so check them out if you don't want to travel all the way to Alameda. ”
“ Oh my goodness, this place is amazing! The moment you walk in you're hit with the delicious aroma of fresh donuts! They have a big selection of donuts that look incredible. I got the half dozen to be able to try a variety. When you get the half dozen you get a free buttermilk donut and I opted for maple. The standouts for me were the pistachio old fashioned donut and the lavender donut. I am a sucker for pistachio anything but always hesitant as I feel most pistachio items don't taste enough like it. This donut was SUPERB, delicious and busting with pistachio flavor! The lavender one was also really good, the lavender wasn't overpowering and the donut itself was fluffy and delicious! The service was great and the cashier was so nice! I will definitely be back again!' ”
“ This is a cute neighborhood donut shop. That was worth the drive. Parking is super easy and plentiful. I took a 20-minute drive because I was in the mood for a cream Brulé doughnut. It was worth the drive. We ordered the pistachio old-fashioned 10 out of 10 the cream Brulé doughnut, 10 out of 10 and the blue berry crumble six out of 10. Whatever topping that they put on the blueberry crumble was delicious I dipped the pistachio old-fashioned in the white cream cherry on top. Will we return absolutely. I recommend that you try this doughnut shop too. they also have outdoor seating. For my drink, I chose the London Fog latte. It was a perfect temperature to indulge in right away. No need to wait for it to cool off. PS never thought we would spend over $19 for three donuts and a small latte. But here we are and I guess I'll be doing it again one day soon. ”
“ Donut Petit had a kiosk today (Saturday) in the South Shore shopping lot between Trader Joe's and Safeway. Nice surprise with a limited selection of their donuts. The kiosk currently only accepts Venmo or cash payment though. Picked up a raspberry creme cronut pastry, maple bacon donut, and pumpkin spice donut. ”
“ I've had my eye on this place for awhile to try the cronuts! I was finally able to drop by and grab both the bavarian cream cronut and the chocolate mousse cronut. My friend grabbed the boston cream and old fashioned pistachio but I didn't try them. This was my first time trying a cronut so I'm not sure how they usually are but I liked these! It was flatter, though bigger, than some others I've seen from other bakeries. They had the choice of glazed or powdered sugar but I chose glazed so there was less of a mess. The cronuts had the essential flaky and buttery layers of a croissant, while tasting of a glazed donut. It tasted really good, at least for me. I will say I thought there would be cream/mousse throughout the cronut but it was just a dollop in the middle. I wish there was more since not every bite had the filling and it was so little. The shop is very cute and relaxing. There were many other donuts but I was really focused on the cronuts. Staff was nice and patient while I was deciding. They had seasonal flavors as well that looked good! ”
“ While minding my business going to Trader Joe's in alameda, I saw this cute cart in front and went to be nosy... Turned out to be Donut Petit with a cart of donuts for sale. I forced myself to go ahead and to buy a treat "or three" . I bought a blueberry, original glazed, and double chocolate cake donut with chocolate chips on top. The Blueberry: 5/5 amazing flavor, so soft and super fresh. It's like when you smell that fresh bread baking and you just have to get some. The blueberry flavor was perfect! Probably the BEST blueberry donut I've had . The Double Chocolate w/chocolate chip:5/5 a cake style donut that's just like having delicious dessert. Again, very fresh and love that it's not overly sweetened. The topping is a thicker ganache style icing. The Original Glaze: Nothing fancy but just better than other basic donut shop's original glazed.... And I enjoy these treats being " petite" so I can consume more of them.... ”
