This review is more for the fact that they open at 8 yet run out of the better stuff by 9:35 this morning. I wonder if they have ever looked at what sells out fast regularly and then make more of it? Cute place. Customer service is usually good. Just need to cut back on the stuff that doesn't sell as well and increase the stuff that does sell well. Running out in 1.5 hours is just silly when you claim to be open until 2pm.

Great local donut shop with many creative donut offerings.
Two very polite young men had a booth set up in the baggage claim at the airport in Oakland. I had a chocolate old fashioned and it was AMAZING!! Definitely worth the stop!

Tried their pistachio donut at a farmers market and oh Lord it was bad.
The food was baller snd the staff was awesome. The store is Alameda sized (smaller) but plenty of space for a group.

I have tried several of their donuts at the presidio tunnel tops, where they sell from a tent on the weekends. These are the best donuts I’ve ever had. They are best described as beautiful, so much so that I often think of them during the week. The blueberry, raspberry, Boston cream, Bavarian cream, and crème brûlée are all amazing! I hope they continue to maintain a presence in SF!

Came in on a Tuesday to special order 3 dozen donuts as a treat for my coworkers. First of all the lady that was working was a bit condescending. She was curt but at least not outright rude. I can overlook that. I think she realized since she comped me when I went back to order even more treats for myself and my friend.
I wrote out on three separate post it notes for my order so that they could cross check the order in each box. I should’ve checked my order before I left but I was trying to make the start of a meeting in downtown SF and didn’t have time.
Of course they didn’t get my order correct. The box containing my Boston Crème Pie donuts plus my additional strawberry cake donuts were nowhere to be found. Additionally I had to remind the folks of my half dozen box (pistachio old fashioned, strawberry flats, and kouignaman)
The donut types were ordered specifically for specific people (my friend loves their lavender raised). $181 for 3.5 dozen donuts or a little over $50 per dozen. Given the shabby treatment and the order snafu, definitely not worth it.
The only good thing I can say is that at least they accommodated my request to pickup half an hour before they opened on Wednesday so I could try to get these donuts to my coworkers early in the day.
I have patronized Donut Petit faithfully since they opened. I have tried to spread the word from Concord to SF because I do try to support small, local businesses. This is not the first time I’ve ordered this many donuts from this business.
Next time I’ll just go to Magic Donuts or Johnny’s. Not coming here again.

I tried their donuts at the Oakland Farmers Market. They’re visually appealing, but the taste was nothing special and overly sweet. They’re also on the pricey side.

Bought 3 donuts and an apple fritter. Donuts are overpriced and Dunkin' Donuts quality. Nothing super special.

Everyone loves the donuts made by this bakery, but I don't find anything special about them. They are very sweet and I have a hard time telling the difference between the different flavors... For me, it's more or less the same taste.
Got two different pistachio donuts and they were great! They are also dog friendly—I was able to bring my pup inside and that was soo nice. But there’s also a small patio with maybe two tables or so.
Great donuts, but often doesn’t make enough gluten free donuts and they sell out of them early in the morning. Hope they start to make more inventory of the GF donuts
This place closes when they're sold out, sometimes hours before their posted closing hours. I won't go here after 9:00AM to ensure that I don't waste my time.
