The donuts here are delicious. The Apple fritter is not greasy and has plenty of Apple pieces. The Boston Cream is large and has lots of filling and the Chocolate Old fashioned is tasty too.

Been going to Kingpin for over 40 years, still the best donuts in the Bay Area. Buttermilks are amazingly crunchy and tender, and the apple fritters are exceptional!

I order from here all the time, and they have a really good cinnamon twist, also their old fashioned donuts and holes are incredible. Only complaint is that the quality is a little inconsistent. Usually they have the best donuts around, but _occasionally_ they taste old and oil soaked. Not often though.

the apple fritter is very good: crunchy exterior with soft interior, plus sweet apple chunks. if you like buttermilk pancakes, any of the buttermilk donuts are great, especially the maple one imo. only reason it doesn't get 5 stars is the price, but these are really good donuts and close to campus.
