"When Donut Savant announced last year that it was closing, hearts broke all over the Bay Area — or at least all over social media. The 1934 Broadway shop had remained faithful to its mission of “redefining donuts in Oakland” since 2012, cranking out small batches of sweet-smelling, picture-perfect doughnuts hot and fresh from the fryers for over seven years. They were some of the Bay Area’s tastiest doughnuts and also some of the smallest — closer to a doughnut hole than a full-size doughnut, so that a customer could try three or four different flavors for just a couple of bucks. And then they were gone. Until now, that is: After a yearlong absence, Donut Savant will reopen this month in a brand new shop at 3000 38th Avenue in Allendale, a mostly residential neighborhood between East Oakland’s Fruitvale and Laurel districts." - Michecia Jones
