Happened to be out this way and found myself drawn in to check them out, since donuts are kind of my kryptonite. Right away I was impressed with how friendly and welcoming the staff was. What impressed me even more was the selection. Donuts can be simple and still extraordinary, but when you start to introduce lemon blueberry and guava into the equation you're definitely onto something. I was genuinely impressed and will either find time to get back when over here, or find excuses to get over here to visit again. Truly a great spot for fantastic donuts. read more

First time trying Twisted Donuts & Coffee and I really enjoyed everything. The Ube cake donut was perfect and not too sweet. The blueberry butter bar also super yummy and packed with blueberries. Will definitely be back to try more! read more

Twisted Donuts and Coffee - Ube Cake Donut Blueberry Cake - Donuts Near Me - San Francisco, California

Love supporting local donut shops especially when the service is amazing and the donuts are always so delicious! Every donut I've had is super tasty and perfect texture... not overly sweet. At the moment my favorite is the lemon vegan donut.... Who knew I'd like vegan donuts! I had Twisted Donut Holes at my party and it was a huge hit! Highly recommend this shop! read more

Twisted Donuts and Coffee - Donuts Near Me - San Francisco, California

Overdue upgrade review from at least a year ago. Whoops! My son wanted to have backyard birthday bash with tacos and donuts (in leu of a cake). I made an online order for the donuts at Twisted well ahead of time. It was just a bunch of random flavors. I paid in advance and even corresponded to the female manager. On the morning of the party, I went to pick up the donuts. When I showed up, there was no record of my order and the manager was not present. The two gentlemen behind the counter were apologetic and moved quickly to make up my order. The chocolate/sprinkled donuts that I had originally ordered were already sold out. Those were the only ones my son really wanted. However, the guys quickly made some chocolate sprinkles donuts for me on the spot. They were quick to solve the problem. They even threw in some extra donuts, which I didn't even ask for. It was a kind gesture and show of excellence customer service. I'm glad they were there to save the day! read more

Ever since my ex-coworker brought me a donut from Twisted Donuts, I'd been so excited to come here. Don't get it twisted, though (pun intended) - I actually first added this place to my list of bookmarks not long after they opened. It's just that, with my usual go-to donut shop somewhat close by, I always default to to heading there instead whenever the mood for a donut strikes. Plus, it's one thing to get excited based off the things you see and hear about a place, it's another when you've actually gotten a chance to sample their goods. And let me tell you - the goods are good! On the surface, it seems like it would be easy for Twisted Donuts to slip under the radar. In middle of the block right off 19th Ave, it's easy for people to zip right by and, unlike so many other donut shops, they don't have a prominent, corner location. However, what they do have is an impressive, and lengthy, roster of donuts to choose from! Along with your classic sort of donuts, like old fashioned, raised, cake, twists, bars, filled, or donut holes, they've also got an interesting mix of more unique offerings, whether it be style (croissant donuts, mochi) and/or flavor, including Thai Tea, Ube, Matcha, Black Sesame, and so many more. -- BACON MAPLE RAISED GLAZED One of the must tries that I came here for and it wasn't too shabby. There was a fair amount of bacon yet this didn't taste very oily/greasy. I also liked that the bacon was super crispy, though, a couple of pieces were close to burnt. -- CHOCOLATE OLD FASHIONED Not as good as my favorite one out there, but pretty solid. Although it felt a bit dense on the inside, the frosting was pretty chocolatey, and the outside of the donut itself had a nice bit of crispiness. -- CHOCOLATE BAR Ehh...not sure if it's because there was a lot of frosting on this, but this tasted sweeter than the others I've tried. If that's the case, it might also be why this seemed to sag/look deflated, especially compared to the Raised Glazed. -- RAISED GLAZED Pretty standard, but in a positive way (it's exactly as you'd expect). The donut had a nice rise to it, the icing wasn't super sugary, and the inside was so soft! -- STRAWBERRY LEMON CAKE This was fine for the most part, but I liked the Berry Lemon one better. The strawberry flavor in this was on the subtle side, unless you happened to get a bite with a lot of strawberry bits in it, but I thought the lemon icing was great! -- LEMON BERRY CAKE This one was great! The taste of the blueberries was a lot stronger and was well complemented by the lemon icing. Yet, perhaps most impressively, the taste of this wasn't overly sweet. -- BLACK SESAME MOCHI DONUT This was terrific! I loved how the black sesame added a nutty flavor, which was a nice way to balance out nay sweetness from the donut. As for the texture, the mochi donuts all had a very nice chewiness to them! -- THAI TEA MOCHI DONUT I liked how pronounced the taste of the Thai tea was, but it didn't have much of the creaminess that I enjoy with Thai tea drinks. Although I did like this one, I thought the Matcha one was better. -- MATCHA MOCHI DONUT Easy to see why the color of this was so green - they sure didn't skimp on the matcha! At the same time, I could see why some folks might not like this, as the taste of the tea is rather assertive (I didn't mind it). -- GUAVA MOCHI DONUT It fell short of my admittedly high hopes, but this was still pretty decent. The taste of the guava was tart, but didn't feel distinctly "guava". That said, the other donuts might have messed with my taste buds (I tried the Thai tea right before this one). Along with their awesome selection of donuts, the other thing that I really like about Twisted Donuts is the staff. Each time I've been, the two guys (owners?) behind the counter have been super welcoming and friendly. My first trip here, they even threw in the raised glaze for free! Really, the only thing I wish was different about this place were the hours, as they close rather early (2PM) compared to most other donut shops. Still, that just means I have to make it a point to come earlier! Donut World will always be my spot for a late night treat, but it looks like Twisted Donuts and their unique offerings just might be my new daytime spot! FOUR AND A HALF STARS rounded down for now. read more

I'm pretty sure these are the best donuts in California. I've been all over the place, and I got donuts all along the way. This is the place. The texture, the flavor, the creativity - you can't go wrong with anything under the glass. The folks that work there are very nice and I love the ambiance - perfect donut shop atmosphere. It's always fast and the prices are very fair considering each donut is literally the most delicious thing you've ever eaten. ALSO if you put them in a tupperware in the fridge they are just as good the next day. The mochi and the orange cream puffs changed my idea of what a donut could be. If there was any justice in this world these guys would be running krispy kreme straight out of business. Heed my word and get at least twelve. You'll regret it if you don't read more

I bought some donuts and coffee The donut looked as average a donut could be. Smaller than most. Mind you I'm coming from San Jose where we have Stan's, maybe the best donuts in Cali. These were not even close. Looked like a machineade them. Stroke 1. The coffee was beyond mid. There are two legit coffee shops nearby so I expected them to have somewhat decent coffee. Nope strike 2 Ok so maybe the price is dirt cheap and that explains it all, I thought. But the price was double what I expected! They want high end prices for very meh level quality. Strike 3, you're out! read more

Twisted Donuts and Coffee - Average donuts - Donuts Near Me - San Francisco, California

My kids like to try locally owned businesses on Too Good To Go before spending their allowances on regularly priced items. The store was clean, organized, and inviting. The service was quick, efficient, and professional. The gentleman behind the counter was sharp, smart, and helpful-everything you expect from old school business practices. The selection was amazing . It had a sampling of everything (9 items) that any donut fan would like. I had the old fashioned maple glazed immediately. It was fresh, perfectly balanced in crunch, flavors, and pillowy soft inside. I'm already planning my next trip. read more

Twisted Donuts and Coffee - Selection of 9 donuts-all fresh, delicious, and high quality. - Donuts Near Me - San Francisco, California

Twisted Donuts, for the vegan lover of ringfritters, is easily the best place in town. The competition is leaden, far from fresh, drab. I've been a happy customer for eight years, and the lemon frosted vegan donuts are a favorite. read more

TLDR: Delicious mochi donuts with creative yet not overly sweet flavors on Fri-Sun. Arrive early for best selection, they often sell out well before closing time! Consider calling to ensure stock/pre-order before driving over if you're coming from an opposite corner of the city. They have online ordering, but it doesn't feature every available flavor/type. Longer: After discovering the app Too Good to Go and learning Twisted Donuts was on the list AND my boyfriend's favorite donut shop in the city, we headed to the Sunset the first chance we got (on a Friday). The randomized selection checked all our taste buds' boxes and I sampled many types that we otherwise wouldn't have selected, from vegan to buttermilk to mochi. I don't have a sweet tooth and I'm happy to report these donuts weren't too much for me. They also didn't feel heavy, which is all too common given the whole fried dough thing. I'm very glad I had my boyfriend to share with, as he's sometimes my garbage disposal, so I could have a few bites before he finished the rest XD Just did a little additional research on their website to find they don't even list mochi donuts! Keep in mind (from their website): "On the weekdays, Joyce and Paul feature the classic donuts, which are near and dear to Paul's heart. But on the weekends, things get a little crazy at the donut shop, with specialty donuts including the Nutty Monkey, Berry Crunchy, Baconpeno, S'Mores Galore, PB & J, Lemon Berry, Fruirrito, Pumpkin Fritters, Milky Way Under A-Salt, just to name a few!" The inside of the shop is very basic, a few tables in case you want to dine in. Or do what we did: head to Ocean Beach for a beautiful view to pair with your treats. read more

Love love love these donuts. The guys are super nice that work there. Not much fluff to the store. Basic shop. I'm literally in love with the crème brûlée donut. Only on Fridays. The outside has a harder shell. The inside is not overly sweet. I've never had a donut like this before and I look forward to getting it when I'm in the city on a Friday. The raspberry filled is also amazing. The donuts are not oily or overly airy. Give them a try! read more

Went on a weekend and was politely greeted as we walked in. Apologies for the limited supply as he said there was a rush in the morning. Still plenty to choose from. We opted for the colorful, eight sectioned: - Strawberry Mochi - Passion Fruit Mochi - Thai Tea Mochi Sorry to say that we could not discern the flavors of the donuts from each other as they only tasted like sugar. Additionally, the density of their Mochi donut did not match any of the Mochi Donuts we've had from other shops. We're used to a denser chew while these just had the density of a regular donut. Mochi Light? Tried their Croissant Donut - not a Cronut and sorry to say nothing near a Cronut which should have layers like a croissant while a density of a donut. - Regular & Maple, flavors were right but the textures just didn't meet our expectations for a Cronut. Coconut, Bacon Maple, Coconut Ube, Old Fashioned Glaze,.. donuts were okay. Have I had better, you bet... I have had so many donuts that I might be a honorary Cop. If you go here, stick with the regular donuts as the Mochi Donuts and Cronuts just didn't have the right texture, density, and flavor profile. read more

Meh donuts. Not the best and probs wouldn't go back but not the worst. Donuts: 1. Maple donut: best one of the 3 as it was fluffy and had a sugar glaze under the maple flavoring 2. Chocolate donut: absolutely skip. Tasted a bit stale. It wasn't fluffy either and didn't have a sugar glaze all around it. 3. Guava mochi donut: the flavor was WEIRD. It was like eating a trolli peach o candy Logistics: -cash and card accepted -street, metered parking read more

Black sesame mochi donut $3.26. They have so many flavors to choose from (see picture). My second choice would be coconut guava. What a cool combination. They don't have little signs which donut is which. The nice guy at the counter will give you the names. He must have to do this till all the donuts are sold. He is great with kids, The kids like me come in and have him point out each donut. I can read into the kid's minds, should I get the sprinkles or the Maple glaze? This lady took all the chocolate ones. No need to say chocolate any more unless they make more. One lady comes in and they know her by name, Margaret. It's great having neighborhood shops. In time you know your regulars. They got some big tables for you to hang out. read more

Picked up some donuts for a kid's playdate after my friend recommended we get some treats from here for breakfast. I did not find street parking right away so I parked in the bank parking lot next door and quickly dropped into Twisted. The place is small and a little dark but the glass case of yummy donuts was nice and brightly lit. My son chose a rainbow (of course) glazed cake donut for himself and his friend, my friend go an ube donut and I got lemon poppyseed (per the suggestion of the owner when I asked for a not too sweet donut). All were good and given the thumbs up by each eater. My lemon poppyseed was tasty without being too sweet and I had a piece of the ube which was nicely balanced out by the coconut. I will be back! read more

Great doughnut shop with a lot of variety. I picked up from TooGoodtoGo and was very pleased with my surprise box. The cake donuts were the highlight as the texture was soft and moist. The flavors were profound but not too sweet. The regular donuts were average, probably would not go back for these. The filled donuts were fluffy and had a good ratio. Will go back to try their mochi donuts! read more

I've walked by Twisted Donuts a lot but it's always been in the afternoon when they're about to close and I never see anything that really calls out to me. Today I happened to pass by in the morning and I stopped dead in my tracks when I saw "UBE CAKE DONUT" it comes with toasted coconut shreds? Yes please, I'll take two! $3 each these are small but mighty. I love a good cake donut. The ube flavor was on point and that coconut icing with toasted shreds just highlight the entire donut. We need more versions of this ASAP. Service was super nice too. It's a cute little shop if you wanna sit down to enjoy your coffee and treat. Adds a nice vibe to the neighborhood! read more

Visited last month maybe the guy behind the counter was having a bad day, but that's not my problem. You ever go into a little hole in the wall donut shop on the boring side of San Francisco and the 40-something male counterperson seems grouchy, irritated and asks you in a speed voice what do you want. Very welcoming. NOT. I don't give repeat business to gruff counterstaff, this is San Francisco, tons of hole in the wall donut shops with pleasant staff. read more

Was in the neighborhood and parked near this little gem. Since I'm a sucker for donuts and the Yelp reviews for this place are solid, I ventured inside to see what they had. There wasn't a huge selection left as it was around noon. The person who helped me was patient and polite, describing what each donut I pointed to was. There were even vegan donuts available. I decided on the following: Plaiold fashioned (no glaze or sugar) - hubby didn't care for this one as it was really plain Strawberry raised - hubby said he could eat this one daily! Blueberry filled - one of the better jelly filled donuts I've had Now that I found this place, can't wait to come again earlier in the morning when there are more options to choose from. Parking is tough in the area depending on time of day. read more

Stopped by after getting home coffee across the street. I love Mochi donuts so thought I'd try a couple. Got the passion fruit and guava. Texture is good like other Mochi donuts I've had. Nice and chewy, but these flavors were completely off to me. Just tasted like sweet frosting and one was more like strawberry. I honestly don't even know which was guava or passion fruit because they didn't taste like either of those :( I've had these exact flavors at other shops before around SoCal and were much much much more strong passion fruit and guava flavors. Maybe the cake donuts would've been better but probably wouldn't be back. read more

Had one good somewhat expensive but perfectly sized small chewy sweet mochi donut. Friendly folks and a good selection.

Ok my first trip here a year ago I wasn't too impressed with the donuts with only the glazed blueberry donut standing out from my last visit. Visit 2- So the Mochi chocolate donut wasn't perfectly created looked a bit sloppy with the chocolate uneven in some sections. But it has Nice chocolate texture and taste. The light, soft dough was easily to pull apart but I didn't really take a chance to extract one ball at a time because I didn't feel the dough was strong enough to hold together. But it's was quite yummy and wouldn't mind ordering it again. I probably wouldn't order any donuts with fillings, because it didn't stand out to me. Twisted donuts got me on their Ube Donut with coconut, their Blueberry Cake (Glazed) donut and anything with coconut on it. I am normally not a fan of texture of coconut, but with the addition to their donuts, yummy! Give me more!! With every donut shop they have their hits and misses. It's the luck of the draw. All yummy in my tummy. Till next time as I will pick random donuts flavors to see it I like them or not. Overall good place for donuts. read more

Quality ingredients bring me back. There are lots of Donut shops in San Francisco so it takes something to stand out, in the case of Twisted it's a mix of invention, quality, and friendly service. Getting to Twisted is easy being that it's located a block off of 19th in the Sunset, plus I have always found street parking across the street which has been nice. As always the staff were personable, and if you come on the weekend the options are myriad. My order consisted of several delectable Cream Puffs that I have eaten, plus a mix of Raised & Cake Donuts that mostly still in the box. Regarding pricing it is reasonable compared to many of the other speciality donut shops in San Francisco, and worthy of checking out. read more

Donuts were super delicious here. I tried a few different types and they all looked super fancy and definitely premium donuts compared to your traditional ones. The donuts that I tried were: Bacon: The bacon was really good! Perfectly crunchy and freshly cooked pretty much on a regular donut which was good. Blueberry: Strong blueberry flavor. I liked that it wasn't too dense and had a good flavor but wasn't artificial tasting or too strong. Lemon: Excellent lemon flavor again in a light donut. I think this was my favorite one. Chocolate: Standard chocolate donut just like any other place. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Overall, the service was great and they were super nice. Loved the box and presentation the donuts came in. Excellent price. read more

"What kind of a moron tries to flush body parts down a toilet...?" - Samuel L. Jackson (Twisted) Many moons ago I was in a movie called Twisted (c2004), starring Ashley Judd and Andy Garcia. A psychological thriller filmed in San Francisco... go check it out and find a young me, albeit Rotten Tomatoes rates it at 1%. So one foggy early morning I find myself in my old hood of the outer Sunset district... Jonesing for a cup of coffee and donuts. Twisted Donuts and Coffee pop-up on my Yelp radar. Oddly I've never ventured to Twisted (the donut shop) before and I've been on Noriega at least a hundred times. Twisted Donuts and Coffee is a popular spot with San Franciscans, unlike the movie Twisted. I mean even Samuel L. Jackson was in it, the movie, not the donut shop. Though for the longest time I thought he was Morpheus in the Matrix, btw props to Laurence Fishburne, aka the real Morpheus. And no, it has nothing with race, as I always get Andy Garcia, Al Pacino, and Ron Silver mixed up. Tho the later been dead since 2009. Maybe I'm just Twisted? Donuts. Ahh donuts. Back to the subject of donuts. I mean what sane person doesn't like donuts, right? And if you're a donut aficionado like I am... you'll go cray on Twisted Donuts and Coffee's selection. How about an Ube donut, maybe a Matcha donut, perhaps a PB&J donut? For me, I decided on the fruity and chose the Coconut Guava and Lemon. Oh my how it paired perfectly with the French Roast. And what sane person doesn't want a hot, sweaty, Ashley Judd... okay, okay I'll.. yea. Yea, this 5-stars review is all about delicious donuts, on point coffee, and the friendliest staff out there, especially the tall, young man with the dreadlocks. Super cool dude. And no, I didn't get him confused with Brad Pitt. In the end, I recommend Twisted Donuts and Coffee if you're into the freshest donuts with amazing coffee! Of course you probably didn't recognize me in the dreary bar scene, but hey at least I had that clip with naked Ashley while eating donuts. If only... read more

If you want unique donuts in the Sunset area, be sure to check out Twisted! They have OG flavors as well but I like that they add in different varieties you don't normally find in the area such as jalapeño bacon or coconut guava. I appreciate that they also provide vegan options as well. Their donuts are a little ok the cakier side if you prefer that but still tasty. Lately I had been wanting to try out their mochi donuts and was finally able to on the perfectly timed National Donut day. Their mochi donuts are about $3 each; they are a bit smaller than some places like Mochill but are still yummy! I would say they are a little more on the denser side but I think it helps with their chewy texture. The flavors they had were also very good, my favorite surprisingly being the guava- it was just a different flavor experience I did not expect. If you plant to get mochi variety, they only sell them on Fridays-Sundays. Service is quick and friendly and very COVID safe. You are greeted at a table near the front entrance with the menu options laid out on the table and the donut display in view. After you order they will charge you from across the room and then bring you your order. Only one party is allowed in at a time. Sometimes they do sell out in a day so go as early as you can. Def check out Twisted if you're on the hunt for a new donut spot to try! read more

Who doesn't love a good donut! This neighborhood gem and boy am I loving my new neighborhood. Twisted has your usual cake, raised and filled donuts selections. I think their apple fritters are the bomb! What makes me come back are their fun and creative flavors. As soon as I saw the maple bacon donut I knew I had to come here. Being half Filipino and I see Ube on the menu I knew I hit the jackpot. I loved the Ube cake donut as well as the Coconut guava donut. The reason to check out Twisted Donuts, aside from their special flavors during the weekends and holidays it's all the other good stuff on their menu. They also carry the famous mochi donuts. A good donut shop will always have the classics but grows to the needs of their customers. That's why they have been around for awhile now. Run don't walk to Twisted donuts! read more
