"It wouldn’t be a Lake Merritt guide without a nod to an Oakland institution: Colonial Donuts. The counter-serve spot on Lakeshore is open 24 hours, and, throughout the years, has powered us through countless lazy Sunday mornings and late nights. From sprinkle cake donuts to maple bars and classic glazed old-fashioneds, if you need something sweet and fried, you’ll find it here." - Julia Chen 1, Lani Conway
