About

King Pin Donuts is one of the oldest donut shops in the Bay Area, serving coffee and donuts since 1939 to the residents, visitors, and students of Berkeley. Located steps from the UC Berkeley campus on Durant Avenue, it has been a student favorite for generations. The long-running outpost offers fresh-baked donuts from early morning until the wee hours (open about 20 hours a day), making it the go-to for late-night study fuel. Known for warm, fresh donuts, mouthwatering apple fritters, and icing-filled donuts worthy of their own fan club, King Pin delivers simple, no-frills donut excellence with nearly nine decades of experience.
