Lee’s Donuts

Absolutely delicious buttermilk glazed donuts! We Were early tp an appointment and decided to stop here for a donut. Lee’s did not disappoint.

the best donuts and croissant.

Not bad. Was craving some donuts after being sick for 2 weeks. First thing I wanted was a chocolate donut. This place did not disappoint.

Been coming here for years! The staff are very nice. I kove the donuts, but my favorite thing to order is the ham & cheese crossants. The crossants melt in your mouth! Lee’s donuts have a customer for life! 5 stars!

been going to this place since when i was going to san lorenzo high. only now i don’t go there often because of the herd of little youngsters hanging around. ham and cheese croissant is verrry good and the owner is sooo nice and friendly. would recommend this to my little high school friends if i had any.

Their donuts are always fresh & tasty. Fair prices, friendly service & nice selection :)

This place is great if you’re a San Lorenzo High student.
The staff that works there is a family, I’m pretty sure. They’re really patient and tolerant with the rude students that go there during school, and have really quick service.
Even though I could be going to other places for lunch, the reasons I go here are:
1. The sandwiches! The lady that usually makes them stuffs them with meat. My favorites are roast beef, chicken salad, and salami+turkey. She usually puts jalapenos in them, so just remember to ask her to leave em out if you don’t like it. For 3.50 $, it beats going to Quiznos down the street.
2. Ham & Cheese croissants! Although they’re kind of oily, they’re really good. (2.25 $)
3. Their thai tea! Along with the many other drinks they offer, its really good if you get the guy with the glasses to make it.
4. They offer Nachos, but the way they make it is with your choice of chips and nacho cheese. I like the Hot Cheetos with cheese, or cheesy ruffles with cheese. (2.65 $)
Overall, this is a great place, though usually overlooked because of its ‘ghetto’ location.
The only reason I didn’t give them 5 stars is because of the maintenance, some of the stuff looks really old (not the food), like the chairs and such. I wouldn’t stay to eat, but its a great place to just grab something and go.

oh how this place brings back so much memories from my high school days. The sandwiches here are AWESOME. I can honestly say that this is the only place where i don’t complain about DRY turkey meat (sorry JD’s but you failed me for once).
It makes me wonder how these people can deal with the stress of serving high school kids. I swear some of those students are rude beyond rude, but the sandwich lady simply laughed it off. I’ve never seen people with such patience.
Even though I’ve graduated, I’d probably visit this place again when I come back home from college.

In the vast culinary wasteland that is San Lorenzo, lunchtime options are limited. I have been working across the street from Lee Donuts for almost 8 years now, and there’s not too much to report — donuts, coffee, sandwiches, drinks. The usual.
Two things do stand out, though:
1) The owners and staff are soooooooper friendly and patient. When 99% of your clientele are high school students cutting class or trying to grab lunch in a hurry, I guess you either become bitter and Soup Nazi-​ish, or you just go with the flow. These folks are mellow and kind, no matter how much cussing they hear, how many messes they clean up, how many fights break out in front of their shop, and how many rude kids make fun of their accents. My favorite lady is the one who makes my sandwiches — she always remembers, «No meat, no onions,» and cuts me a discount.
2) They have created an insane concoction of Hot Cheetos and melted nacho cheese that looks crazy… in a good way. I’ve avoided it so far, but I’m sure one of these days I’ll cave in and get spotted pigging out by one of my salad-​eating colleagues.
