It's a donut shop and so much more! They have rolls, sandwiches, and a lot of comfort food! It's cheap and like a little coffee shop from the 1980's. Buy your lottery tickets and donuts here. It's on the corner so park across the street and go for breakfast. Don't holes are 4.50 a dozen. read more

Best donut in the neighborhood! I finally tried this place after living here for months and was blown away by how nice this place is. They have everything between breakfast, dinner, scratch tickets, and cigarettes. Although I always get the donut and small coffee. Coffee is always hot and they give you napkins and a selection of creamer. Bob's has a slightly cheaper coffee donut combo but I honestly like the Happy Donuts donut way more. I encourage you to try it! Good service and clean and pretty ambiance. read more

Pricing is vague and based on other yelp reviews, it seems they like to overcharge. 12oz iced vanilla latte was $9.06... when I asked the cashier why it was so much more than the menu price she stated because of the "ice" and "vanilla flavor" read more

Happy Donuts - Chow mein, beef and shrimp - Donuts Near Me - San Francisco, California

A nice restaurant in SF that you can't tell from the outside. It happens to be near our hotel and the price was great. Croissant was $3 and it was quite good. They have a lot Asian dishes and also some American food too. Asian dishes are best in my opinion although not very authentic and some are quite oily, but delicious and affordable compared to nearby options. read more

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. read more

I judge a donut shop on their ability to make French crullers, and they didn't disappoint!! I'm 56 years old and I put their crullers in the top 3 that I've had... and the buttermilk donut was amazing read more

Wow, how do you mess up a breakfast sandwich on a croissant? But the eggs were way overcooked and the croissant tasted day old, flat and dense and stale! I also ordered an apple fritter and all I could taste was the oil and grease. Do not recommend! read more

I am not a doughnut person unless it is cream filled maple long johns from Giant Eagle, but I saw this deal on Too Good To Go and thought I would give it a try. I got a nice assortment of things including a custard filled maple longjohn. Now I am not into custard, but it was delicious and large enough to split. Supposedly the Too Good To Go stuff are leftovers from the day before. The doughnut we ate was fresh and yummy. The store itself was clean with a nice assortment of doughnuts. I noticed a menu of breakfast and lunch stuff sitting on the counter. Plenty of seating. Service was terrific. I am happy I found Happy Donuts. read more

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. read more

Happy Donuts - Donuts Near Me - San Francisco, California

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. read more

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. read more

"These french toasts taste just like Nana Deedee's!" And he was right! One of the reasons Cody loves going to my mom's house is because she enjoys making a "special breakfast" for her grandkids. Her special breakfast includes french toast among other things, and my boys rave about them and how they are "made with love." Happy Donuts found a way to somehow provide a home cooked breakfast that tastes like it comes straight out of my mom's kitchen! I ordered their standard breakfast meal that included 2 eggs, bacon, sausage, hash browns, and 2 pieces of toast. The first bite of the hash browns took me back to when I was a boy eating hash browns made by my dad. Dad used to make breakfast for us each day before school. He'd peel and grate the potatoes that morning; none of that frozen hash brown stuff out of a bag. I loved how he made them, and Happy Donuts must do them the same way. On our way out Cody bought some donut holes and I ordered an apple fritter. The donut holes melted in my mouth and the apple fritter was delicious; crisp on the outside, soft on the inside. The fritter went well with my hazelnut coffee that was brewed fresh and without a Keurig. We stayed in a hotel a half block away and started each day here at Happy Donuts because the food was great and affordable, and the service was friendly and quick. read more

Little gem that also serves Chinese food! We had a raspberry filled donut, an eclair and a strawberry and cream cheese pastry- all for less than $8! I saw a scrumptious looking maple bacon delight but felt 3 pastries for 2 people was already enough, lol! I wanted to order the delicious-looking noodles and soup but we were in too much of a hurry to dine in. Super friendly wait staff! Clean bathroom available only to paying customers. Street parking only or at you can risk parking at the CVS lot across the street. read more

Let's be honest- it's the family run feel and energy that makes this little side street/corner donut store really a diamond in the rough. Oddly placed on Van Ness in a building waiting to be torn down and most assuredly rebuilt in a manner for which won't help the homeless let's say (so luxury homes - right?? Why didn't you just say that? -my Fiancé) Order the chicken Vietnamese!!! read more

Customer service not bad. Food...not so great. I ordered a Vietnamese sandwich (they don't know the words bahn mi so I knew it was not going to be authentic). What I got was a soggy roll, with soggy pickled radish and carrots, little to no beef, lots of cucumbers and ewww. It's a sad little soggy, skinny sandwich. It was a hot day so I ordered a strawberry smoothie (thought it was going to be real strawberries since they have fruit salad). What I got was this pink monstrosity that was hot pink and tasted like syrup and ice. Sorry, these sandwiches were a no for me. Smoothies...do not get them here. read more

Been coming to this place not very often, but when I'm in the area, I usually stop by not just for Too Good to Go. Donuts are one of the best. Friendly staff, was greeted the moment I walked into the door. For the seating area, they seem to be using it as part of a storage room for boxes, which I personally do not mind. read more

Super dirty space, rude customer service. Doesn't allow customers to use that restroom.

Service was great. There were smiling, happy people at the counter. The hazelnut coffee was excellent as was the Boston cream doughnut. They have quite a few pastries to choose from as well as coffee/tea options. It's a big place with ample seating though there weren't too many people there when we walked in around noon. I liked the mom and pop feel to this place on this busy part of Van Ness. read more

Happy Donuts - Donuts Near Me - San Francisco, California

You're in a little bit of trouble if you're a Donut Shop in this particular neck of the woods. Tough competition... You've got Bob's Donuts over on Polk, which is as solid an Old School Donut you'll find. You'll also find Mr. Holmes Bakehouse, which is in no way an old school anything. You know what Happy Donuts is? It's a regular old Donut/Sandwich Shop. Super regular. There is NOTHING that will surprise you at Happy Donuts. Look at the name. Imagine that branding playing out in real life. Happy Donuts. For the record, there are three observations I'll make about Happy Donuts, which in this particular instance is located on Van Ness and Pacific. 1. I like their Croissant Breakfast Sandwiches. Bacon/Ham (probably Sausage, too) Egg and Cheese, served quickly and actually quite tasty. The secret is that they grill the Croissant. This isn't a destination item, just an easy $6 Breakfast Sandwich in SF. I will get it again. 2. Man, they charge the Tax/CRV for Soda. You need to remember to bring 13 cents or something unless you don't want a morning of post Diet Coke jingling change. Weak. 3. Location. Nice and Convenient. On Van Ness and you could probably scam a quick park at the CVS lot across the street. Of course, I care about the environment, so I like that it's on several bus lines and on my walking commute. You're Welcome. I've never had one of their Donuts. I don't imagine I will. I'd go to one of the other places I mentioned in the first paragraph. Maybe their Donuts are World Class, possibly complete Garbage... Couldn't tell 'ya. It's all Breakfast Sandwiches and annoyingly priced Diet Cokes for this guy. read more

Let's talk about what Happy Donuts is and isn't. Place to have a 70's revival and/or Party Monster coffee shop style party (The oranges! The yellows!)? Yes. But grandma might get feisty with you if you're too perky. Place to have the best donut of your life? Probably not. Place to eat for under 10 dollars when you're hungry and a normal person? Yes. Place for 16 dollar avocado toast and a mimosa made by the finest oranges hand delivered by vodka fairies? No. There's tons of places on Polk for that. Can't we just be normal people anymore? This isn't the place to start a gastronomic revolution it's a place to eat a "good enough" breakfast or light lunch. And for its purpose I feel it delivers more than asked. There's a lot of seating inside. And grandma is quick about the service in the mornings. It worked for my postman until the day he retired of my route. And it's a stellar place to people watch "slice of life" San Francisco. Bagels, muffins, donuts - they have all the usual suspects. It's not a destination donut. It's a "oh darn I'm late" donut. There's room for both in the world! read more

If you're ordering through a delivery app, I recommend taking your business elsewhere. For my boyfriend's birthday he wanted donuts - his favorite is Maple Bacon. Ordered through Doordash w/ instructions to cancel order if out of the Maple Bacon bar (since I was planning to re-order the next day - his actual birthday - if so). Instead, they sent the order anyways (disregarding the specific order instructions) and worse, didn't even bother refunding me for the items they were out of. Will not be ordering again. read more

I live right around the corner. So this place is already deadly in my book. Every morning I walk down, on my way to my car, grab 1 chocolate donut and 1 medium coffee, and then I'm off to my garage. You'd think I'd be at least 120 pounds from this morning ritual, but alas, I'm still at my 91 mark (don't ask why, its the genes). Great place for donuts. Very fresh. Also, they have really good sandwhiches. Nothing fancy, but enough to get you through lunch. Cash only. read more

When I worked in San Francisco, this was my go-to breakfast spot since it was across the street from my office. What I respect about it is its beautiful assortment of fresh, hot coffees. You won't be disappointed there, I assure you. Behold one experience that was so upsetting, I wish this page was claimed so they could relive my wrath: One morning I ordered their oatmeal, which comes served with raisins, brown sugar, and -- for reasons truly unbeknownst to me -- butter. I have never once lobbed a chunk of softened butter in my oatmeal, but this was somehow a recipe they found acceptable. Of course, I refused to order such an atrocious sounding instant breakfast, and I made it clear that I wanted only the raisins and a light serving of brown sugar. The oatmeal came served in a large coffee cup with a lid (I recommend this as a prank on your friends), which I carried with my cup of coffee to the office. Upon opening the lid of my oatmeal, I was met with the foul stench of buttery, watery oats. Before me lay a thick, frothy pool of butter, weaving about my oats, raisins, and significantly more sugar than I had requested. Overwhelmed by my frustrations, I slam-dunked the abomination into the garbage can, and I marched back to Happy Donuts to demand the oatmeal I had originally ordered. This next part is on me, but they did explain that they would have to see the oatmeal I had Lebronned into the garbage can before issuing a replacement or a refund. However, I was not having it at the time because their staff had made that buttery disgrace of a breakfast 10 minutes prior. I felt that this shameful memory was still potent among the staff of Happy Donuts, such that I wouldn't have to provide proof about how odiously they ruined my morning. Nevertheless, I refused to make another trip back and forth. I left them with an everlasting scowl that I hope haunts their dreams, and returned to work posthaste. I would eventually return here and there for a cup of coffee, for it's true that in that patch of Van Ness, this is the quickest and least expensive coffee you'll find. But this incident, henceforth known as The Oatmeal Incident, forever leaves me terribly unhappy with Happy Donuts. read more

Have you ever had a sloppy one night stand...with a donut? I think this is what it would feel like. This is especially true if you have to try and stomach the donut's friend "ABC Sandwich" for awhile. He says he has avocado, bacon and cheddar, but you've never tasted any avocado, bacon or cheddar like that. You can't even finish ABC because the ingredients are not fresh. He's not even good-looking. You try to wash it down with a glazed donut, but the rest of the day is spent in regret and calling everyone you loved to let them you know you're sorry for wronging them. Unhappy Donuts, unhappy endings. read more

Happy Donuts - Donuts Near Me - San Francisco, California

Alas, I came here for coffee and a donut before my shift at work, to enjoy sitting and sipping by myself. First off, you can't go THAT wrong with coffee and donuts. Coffee had caffeine and donuts have sugar/fat. So with that said, it was still tasty and I still enjoyed it and I will go back because it's the closest thing to my workplace besides Subway. But, ladies and gentleman, my donut was not happy. It just wasn't soft enough? Flavorful enough? I don't know. Usually I savor every bite of a donut. This donut I took a bite, a sip of coffee, and then water, and then kind of shrugged. The coffee was standard for a little shop. Not great, not terrible. I wish they had soy creamer. I was sad that out of the 4 or so pots, only 1 was full--so I didn't really get a choice of flavors. And RIGHT when I finished pouring my cup, he decided to bring out a fresh pot. It's like THANKS MAN, didn't you see my SAD face? I noticed that they sold sandwiches and stuff too, maybe I'll try one one day. read more

Soo let me tell you a story about how i got discriminated against? And refused service . So lets backtrack, i recently lost my wallet (thank god for that human who mailed it to me) and anywho got a new bank card in the mail. I WALK INTO HAPPY DONUT, hoping to order a rice dish because I'm super hungry going from my first job to my second job ughhhh. My phone is dead and i need to activate my card. So i asked if i could charge my phone to activate my bank card so i can purchase food. So it was a back and forth thing of trying to explain as best i can, the guy behind the counter said "okay fine, charger is by the trashcan". HOWEVER THE GRANDMOTHER was super rude, yelled at me and was like she refuses service to me and i need to get out. I didnt even do anything, i just wanted to charge my phone for 5 minutes and activate my bank card to get some food. I felt super disrespected and was treated like crap honestly..i never cry and was in tears because TO BE DISCRIMINATED AGAINST AND TREATED LIKE I WAS A CRIMINAL FOR NOTHING - is the worst feeling ever. Happy Donut how dare you turn customers away based on discriminatory practices. All i wanted to do was charge my phone for 5 minutes to get into my bank account so a girl can get some chicken and rice. Wtf read more
