    Donuts

    Perfect donut shop in SF. There is a variety of fresh donuts, sandwiches, burgers, and more. They also sell lottery scratchers here lol. Plenty of seating inside and parking across the street. The donut selection is vast. See pics for the best explanation!

    This donut shop serves more than donuts. They also serve coffee, sandwiches, American & Chinese food. Good variety of drinks and they sell lottery tickets. Located on the corner of Van Ness and Pacific.

    Chow mein, beef and shrimp

    Trash! Order chow mein instead got angel hair spaghetti noodles with dry beef greasy as fuck ‍

    Fresh baked, they were actually good

    I finally broke down, selected an order via ToGoodToGo $5.99, and I received a bag filled to the brim with 2 Apple Fritters, and a bunch of Fresh Donuts. Again, I lucked into parking on the side street, and service was quick and efficient as the staff person filled a bag with deep fried delights. The bag contained a nice mix of fresh & tasty goodness. My only regret being that I was shy about taking images of their other savory menu options. An order via ToGoodToGo is a great option if you are not picky at the moment over which donut variations you might get.

    Okay I'm pleasantly surprised by their lunches. I got a beef salad (photo below) take out. Lots of gravy, was quick to bring it out, and food was good. Total was only a whopping $16.75. Yeah I'm coming for more lunches.

    This is a place to pick up donuts. There is lots of variety. They also offer lots of different dishes .

    Went here on a Monday near closing. Used the too good to go all and got the box pictured. For $6 that was a good amount of donuts and they are perfectly good. Not the best donuts but also really satisfying. Support local business. The staff here very friendly and helpful. It also looks clean. Looks like they make the food on site.

    Small neighborhood places are getting harder to find. While waiting for a friend, I decided to grab lunch on a summer weekday late morning. When I entered, the dining room was about a third full, a mix of tourists from nearby motels and construction crew staff. After studying the pretty abbreviated menu, I selected to order breakfast, Denver omelette with hash browns (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=ZomsAq6T-tm1eRYHb49L-Q&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q). I picked up an old fashioned donut for the road too. Was it earth shattering (the hash browns were my favorite on my plate)? No, but it hit the spot hunger wise, gave me refuge from hanging out in my car, and mostly, served my need if nature called during my wait. Since I wasn't alone, this obviously meets a wide spectrum of customers who work, live, or are visiting in this part of town.

    Be forewarned and remember to double check your receipt and ensure what you ordered matches up with what they charged you. We came by this morning as it was nearby our hotel to grab some donuts for my kids before we started our day. We ended up ordering a medium ice coffee ($3.50), a dozen regular donut holes ($3.50), a dozen chocolate donut holes ($3.95) and a dozen blueberry donut holes ($3.95). Tell me how we were charged over $22 for the above items! My friend already paid and tipped, but I confronted the clerk about the overcharge, he ends up re-ringing up the items and it came to about $16 (which was about the right price after taxes). He ended up giving us back $6.50 in cash for the overcharge. The donut holes were good and my kids enjoyed it. It could have been a mistake done by the clerk and the numbers were somehow transposed since he rang up each item manually, but it is always good to double check to ensure you do get charged for what you order.

We walked right into the cool and cozy no-frills donut shop and was greeted by the friendly staff. She even threw in a few delectable donut holes. I got a cake donut, but my companion got a regular glazed. I'm pretty picky with my glazes, which is why I default to cake when trying new donut places as most classic glazed donuts are pretty stale by the afternoon. But to my surprise, their classic yeasty glazed donut was incredible moist and not too overly fried. This is the mark of an excellent donut shop. I'm even curious to try their jelly-filled donuts next time i'm in. Highly highly recommend and I can't wait to come back!

That afternoon, it was packed with seniors with walkers who just seemed to be hanging out talking. :) The Jelly Donut has all the classics as well as some fun twists. We were looking for a little something sweet, so asked for a lemon jelly donut. I pointed to another big one and asked what it was. The woman behind the counter tongue-tied herself trying to say "crumb-coated cinnamon roll" and laughed which was extremely adorable so I had to get it. And yes, they gave a couple of surprise donuts which we didn't know was a thing. Everyone is tense and crabby these days (for good reason), so such a small move can really make someone's day. And yes, all of the donuts were excellent and fresh! I normally wouldn't order a cruller because they are always chewy and flavorless. Now I get it! This might be one of my favorite kinds of donuts now! I'm going out of my way to buy donuts from here in the future.

Parking is super easy around the area, which is a rarity in SF. Shop is bright and airy, with the most adorable pastel color scheme. I ordered two of their milk chocolate donuts ($5 each), a key lime meringue donut ($6), a blueberry & lime donut ($5), and a caramel apple donut ($6). Donuts are on the pricier side, but the presentation and use of high quality ingredients makes up for it. The sourdough donuts themselves aren't nearly as sweet as standard donuts and have a soft, bouncy texture. The milk chocolate donut was absolutely decadent. Upon first bite, you can immediately tell this donut was topped with real melted milk chocolate. This was levels above a typical chocolate glazed donut. The flakey sea salt garnished on top balanced out the sweetness nicely. Although I will say that I found the richness of the chocolate to clash slightly with the tanginess of the sourdough donut. The key lime meringue donut had a super tart key lime filling and was topped with fluffy meringue. Definitely the most eye catching of the donuts I picked up. But the key lime filling was a bit too punchy and sour for my liking. The glaze on the blueberry & lime donut had a potent and fresh blueberry flavor that went well with the lime zest sprinkled on top. The caramel apple donut was my favorite. The caramelized apple filling paired with the cream cheese frosting and graham cracker crumbs was almost like eating an apple pie + cheesecake fusion but as a donut! Overall, a solid donut place that I'd return to if I'm ever in need of a special treat!

The person who helped me was very friendly and patient. He explained what the day's choices were and what his favorites were. I bought two donuts and was shocked at how expensive they were!

I would recommend eating it all on the same day because they lose their integrity the next day. I also tried the crodough the next day and wished I had tried it the first day. It had lost the crispness because of the cream. I wish I had stayed there to take bites of each but I was so physically exhausted that I just wanted to get home. If I go back, I'll definitely take someone to share with. I really want to try the apple fritter and cinnamon roll! It's a very sweet, old-fashioned shop and very clean inside.
