My friend and I were walking around Pier 39 on Sunday, and he mentioned wanting to try this place. We ordered the 7 mini donuts in a bag and it came with two little skewers. The donuts were so good! It was lightly sweet and soft with a slight crisp. The dusting of sugar gave the donuts a bit of a crunch. The amount of donuts was perfect for the two of us. It was a small stand in Pier 39. The staff were friendly when taking our order and handing us the baggie. There weren't that many people waiting, so we were able to get our donuts within a couple minutes. Definitely would come again for a little sweet treat if I'm in the area! read more

Trish's Mini Donuts: A Pier 39 Must-Stop!! If you're walking the Pier 39 boardwalk in San Francisco, the smell alone will probably pull you in. Trish's Mini Donuts is a classic for a reason. The Experience The staff here is incredibly quick and efficient, which is great because there's usually a line of eager people waiting for their sugar fix. Even with the crowd, they keep things moving smoothly. The Donuts These are the most amazing, simple mini donuts. The secret is definitely getting them freshly made. When they are served warm and crispy, tossed in that signature cinnamon sugar, they practically melt in your mouth. There's something so nostalgic and satisfying about a bucket of these while you're exploring the pier. The Drinks This time, we paired our donuts with a coffee cappuccino with caramel syrup. It was a decent, solid cup of coffee that provided a nice caffeine kick and balanced out the sweetness of the donuts. Tip: Don't wait until they cool down! Eat them as soon as you get them for that perfect warm-and-crispy texture. read more

Heard good things about Trish's so we decided to give it a try while walking around Fisherman's Wharf. We waited about 15 minutes on a Sunday evening around 7:30pm and ordered 12 mini donuts for $9 at the window and it was ready immediately Donuts came out piping hot so definitely recommend eating them asap. They were crispy on the outside and melt in your month soft on the inside! Would have liked the donuts to be a little sweeter and for more cinnamon, but still enjoyed Overall, the mini donuts here are a solid snack to grab while you're on the pier read more

Trish's mini doughnuts is...not all the rave so many talk about. It's good but not great. I really do not have much to say about it, I'm so underwhelmed. But I'll keep going for goodness sake... The service was good, no real talk in the ambiance because it's at the Pier. After that, that's that. read more

This is a SF staple for tourist to actually come try. Its located at pier 39, and its pretty basic but its soo fluffy and made fresh upon order. Pretty expensive but I mean it is in a touristy spot. I'm glad that this location is still open after all these years. If I'm ever at the pier to visit its a must have to complete my day. The workers are always super nice and its super fast. If you're a tourist, come try it out! read more

A must-have if you go to Pier 39/Fisherman's Wharf! Trish is a SF treasure. These warm, cute, light, airy, and fresh sweet gooey goodness. They say you can't buy happiness but you can buy Trish's Mini Donuts, which is pretty much the same thing. Service is wonderful and you can grab them and go, enjoying the beautiful view. Love the decor and style of their menus, signs, and the small interior. read more

One of my absolute favorite donut shops in the Bay Area! I enjoy the bite size donut, cinnamon sugar coated yummy soft, warm and chewy donut that is offered at our very own Pier 39. Whenever I get the chance to come with my boyfriend, we stand in line and get my favorite donuts here and grab a delicious yummy coffee from Biscoff near the entrance. The service is amazing, fast and efficient. You'll get your donuts less than 30 seconds after ordering and paying! The line might look scary, but they move quick. The ambiance is great, you get a nice view of all the stores deep in the pier as well as a view of the water to your right. I love coming around sunset when the lights start to turn on and liven up the area in a very pleasant way. I love coming here, even if the crowds are huge. Come here for donuts and roam through the stores that pier 39 has to offer! read more

Food: 7 Mini Donuts Price: $6 Overall: The most famous place for mini donuts in a bucket! They also sell drinks here such as hot chocolate, coffee, and other beverages but the main stair is the donuts. You can smell them on pier 39. We decided just to get the 7 donuts for $6. I thought it would be heavy but honestly, I can see why people get the buckets. It is light and not too airy, coated with cinnamon sugar, with a small crisp to it. Definitely come here if you're first time visiting SF! read more

I have not been to Trish's Mini Donuts in forever! It's been such a long time that my past review definitely shows my younger self and how I used to type. So silly looking back! It is just how I remembered it to be and I still find it to be a good 5 star rating! Hot mini fluffy donuts with a perfect crunch on the outside served hot fresh. You cannot go wrong! $18 for a souvenir bucket full of hot fresh 36ct mini donuts. I am not a sugary donut person whatsoever but I just love how FLUFFY and HOT these donuts are and have the perfect fried crunch on the outside. I normally just tap off the sugar and get the perfect amount of sugar per bite. We also ordered hot chocolate and the hot chocolate was SO GOOD. Service is very quick and didn't have to wait at all, which is a bonus. read more

Perfect for light snacking on the go while roaming around the pier. The mini donuts are always freshly made, with a crispy exterior and super soft interior. The cinnamon sugar goes so well and they're happy to mix and match with plain or cinnamon as you please. A must stop! read more

You can get 7, 12 or 24 or if you want more the 36 and 120 (?!) donut options come with a souvenir bucket and tub respectively . Fits perfectly with the vibe of pier 39 and is truly a staple! read more

Absolutely loved rediscovering this spot! The cinnamon and sugar mix is perfectly balanced--sweet, warm, and comforting. The donuts are made fresh right in front of you and come out hot and pillowy. You can smell them from down the pier, and they taste even better than they smell. A fun, tasty treat while exploring San Francisco. read more

These delicious donuts are a good dessert option when you're at Pier 39. This is a take out only donut shop.

During my trip to San Francisco with my best friend, we stopped by Trish's Mini Donuts at Pier 39. The stand offers freshly made mini donuts in a variety of flavors, and we went with a small bag of cinnamon sugar donuts to share while exploring the pier. The service was quick and friendly, and the donuts came out warm and fresh, with a perfect balance of soft, fluffy insides and a crispy exterior. The cinnamon sugar coating was just the right amount of sweetness, and each bite was absolutely delicious. For a popular spot like Pier 39, the price was reasonable, and the portion size was perfect for sharing. It was the ideal snack while we were exploring the area, and I'm so glad we stopped by.

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.

Deliciosas!

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!

You'd kind expect a donut shop to run out or be low in stock, but not this place.

If you like over the top donuts, you might like it here. They had giant donuts with oreos on top or sugary cereal. The flavors were creative and a little crazy. It was a bit over done for my taste. I guess I am more of a demure Dynamo kind of donut lover.

I wasn't sure if the one in Mill Valley was the same/related until I saw the logo. Yes! So we stopped in around 4pm. I bought 4 donuts. Got into the car and my kid is like... WHY ARE THEY ALL COLD?? Weird. I've had bad donuts but never ever have I gotten a cold donut from a donut shop. Like the texture and temperature is what you'd expect from a donut you just pulled out of the refrigerator. We ate all four donuts anyway cuz donuts and hungry. But we won't be back. And if you're unsure, don't waste your time or money. Unless of course you like cold donuts. Or maybe call ahead to ask first. I dunno. I'm just confused why they were cold. There was a steady stream of customers at that time too.

We tried the old fashioned, the glazed, and the cronut, and every single one was amazing. The old…read morefashioned had that perfect crispy edge with a soft center, the glazed was melt-in-your-mouth good, and the cronut was unreal--flaky, sweet, and completely addictive. Everything tasted super fresh, and you can tell they put real love into their donuts. If you're anywhere nearby, this place is a must-try! The service was great--friendly, quick, and super welcoming. The place itself has that classic donut-shop vibe: cozy, clean, and always smelling like fresh-baked goodness. It's the kind of spot that makes you happy the moment you walk in.

On a gritty corner of Mission and 18th, glad it hasn't been cleansed, gentrified and repackaged.

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! Oh well, it was a reward for walking all the way over there. The vanilla glazed old fashioned was delicious! The spices were perfect. 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. I was impressed with the service and will save my pennies to go again, if I get a ride.

Donuts - * the blueberry lemon - excellent * the coffee cake - excellent * the cinnamon sugar twist - not good. Very dry and small in size. Definitely needs a good dunk. It was a take away order.
