Crema's Take

This Berkeley institution has been perfecting classic donuts since the 1970s, with a devoted following who can't resist their signature apple fritters and perfectly fluffy glazed donuts at just $1.67 each. The early-bird crowd swears by the cash-only Happy Hour before 8am, which sweetens the deal with extra donuts, while regulars love lingering here for hours—it's equal parts quick caffeine stop and welcoming hangout spot where the staff treats you like family. Dream Fluff skips the trendy elderberry-infused nonsense to nail what matters: exceptional dough, texture, and that cloud-like crumb that makes a great donut sing.

What to expect

Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, quick-grab spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu. Family friendly.

Lives up to its name. Fluffy gorgeous donut texture. Great dough, texture, and raise on the bread with all sorts of classic donuts. Not necessarily the same type of 'boutique' feel with elderberry, matcha, trendy flavors. But -amazing- mostly old fashioned -incredibly- done…
