“I always get the 12 pack for parties at my house and they’re a hit! Every flavor slaps. I would make sure to allocate time for pickups because there’s only one attendant and if you’re behind someone getting a lot of donuts, you need to be patient.“

“Ordered half a dozen and couple of chocolate donuts from them. I wish they would have been less sugary and slightly bit healthier but I don't think there is a lot of offers available.
Other than that,
Reasonably priced and quite tasty“

“Honestly one of the better donuts I’ve had in a minute. Especially fresh and out the grease, super tasty. They are a little bit pricey, but open late and the service is good.
Would not recommend the chocolate croissant though, wasn’t a big fan. Just stick to the glazed.“

“No doubt the best donuts I've ever had. Great donuts and breakfast bagel sandwiches. Love this place. Every time I work in Oakland, I visit this place. Great people are working here, too. The only downside is that this is the only location, and they're closed on Sunday.“

“Een klein zaakje achter het Hilton hotel. Ze accepteren alleen cash. Ze hebben heerlijke verschillende donuts en muffins voor een goede prijs. Daarnaast kun je belegde bagels krijgen die ze ter plekke vers maakt. Ze zijn heerlijk. Prijs tussen de 7 en 10 dollar, ligt eraan wat je voor beleg kiest.
De plek ligt net op de rand van waar veel daklozen verblijven waardoor de sfeer wat minder prettig aanvoelt. Maar de verkoopsters zijn erg vriendelijk en behulpzaam.“

“It’s my first time here, when I was approached by one of the guys behind the counter I told him right away that my son has peanut allergy, so he asked what kind of donuts for him? I said 2 Chocolate glazed with sprinkles and he went inside and made it for him… that is exceptional service…
Donuts were fresh and delicious… will be back whenever we’re around the area.“

“This place gives off San Fran vibes and I love it. The staff is super friendly and welcoming. I had their french cruller and I think that it has crack in it—I was addicted after the first bite. Please stop by and support this neighborly little donut shop. My new favorite lil shop.“

“Our family love Dynamo cafe. Previous owner made place cozy and friendly. Now there is a new owner and so far the taste of donuts hasn’t changed. About coffee, funnily enough it depends on the barista. It might be the same Vanilla Latte or (Lavander before), but some barista can make it a bit sweeter and the other less sweet. It’s a street level place so it’s easy to come in even for strollers or people on wheelchairs. They have a big variety of donuts, so everyone will find their favorite. My personal choice is classic vanilla donut with chocolate on top as well as vegan spice chocolate.
There is always a line, there is a good foot traffic so you can order from the window and take it to go or sit inside, or even on the quiet backyard. They are kids and dogs friendly!“

“I was picking up my wife from SFO and arrived around the neighborhood way early. Not even Panera was open at 5. I was so glad that a donut shop like this opened at 5am so I could get some food.
Store looked pretty clean and I was excited that I could get a hot savory item like #3: sausage, egg and cheese croissant. There wasn’t really room in the shop to eat so I started munching it in my car. It sure hit the spot at 5:30AM. I saved half of the croissant for my wife and got her several donuts.
The donuts tasted pretty good too. I’ll be sure to visit if I have to get to SFO early again. I gotta try one of those bigger donuts next time.“

“Nice chill spot. Staff can be a bit impatient, but don't blame them(they are really nice), there are so many unique offerings that people have a tendency to stand there staring (not joking). So if they're staring at you waiting and others are staring at you, you should probably just ask them to make you a box. Hot chocolate is SERIOUSLY hot chocolately. Make sure you get a mug and enjoy your pastry.“

“Despite grabbing these right before they closed, the mochi donuts were pretty good! We tried ube, churro, matcha, and coffee. We liked the ube the best. Tbh I couldn’t really taste the matcha, and the coffee was a little too sweet for me, but I really liked the texture of their donuts.“

“The donuts here are so fresh and nice. The donut holes are a crowd pleaser and the ham cheese and jalapeno croissants are amazing. One of my favourite breakfasts with a nice cup of coffee. The glazed and the sugar donuts are super soft
Don't drive past this place stop and grab a donut and a coffee. You will be happy you did“

“Don’t judge this place by its looks—the exterior might seem a bit sad, but the donuts are absolutely top-notch. Probably the freshest and best in town—soft, flavorful, and clearly made with care. A hidden gem that proves looks can be deceiving. Worth the stop!“

“Needed to pick up a quick dessert after enjoying the most amazing pizza a few doors down at Outta Sight. Gateway drew us in with their stacks of pink donut boxes--an immediate sign that this is a legit donut place. Our go-tos: blueberry and crunch which were immediately recognizable in the glass case. The lady behind register was very friendly and before we could assume it was cash only, she brought the POS out for us to tap and go. Gotta love it when a humble mom & pop keeps up w/tech. One excited bite out of each donut and we knew that Gateway would be our fav shop in the city. These donuts are AMAZING. They're fresh but more interestingly, they're sweet without being sickening (think opposite spectrum of a Krispy Kreme). I'm sure there's some kind of sorcery involved behind the recipe, but whatever they're doing is incredible. Even the small detail like the blueberry colored dough inside the donut is testament to their special touch. By the way, 2 donuts only cost us $3.75! What a deal.“
“I found this place while waiting for my food next door surprisingly. Other than the kid-favorite sprinkled donuts and holes, we asked them about their Filipino menu items . They apparently are known for their empanadas. People were coming in to buy trays full of them for their parties. I had to try them.Now each time I’m driving through the area, I swing by. They rarely have them in the donut display shelves. You need to ask them if they have them in the back. They do a great job for a small shop! ??“

“Wonderful texture, and great value for money with too good to go. I got the ube, churro and funnel flavors along with a iced coffee.
Ube: No ube flavor, just the color but still nice
Churro: The best of them all
Funnel cake: A little bitter weirdly
Iced coffee: Way too sweet but refreshing“

“Very good food and donuts. I have not complained. I seldom ever walk the Marina front but this coffee is phenomenal. Dont skip it up. S/O to Alexa and the other Barista for their exemplary and selfless work.
I'm not sure how long it will be here, it will probably be another 5-10 years I think before it gets relocated, so don't pass it up.“

“I love the pho noodle soup, ban mi sandwiches and curry chicken with rice -- solid vietnamese dishes here. Great take out and carry away options for the busy working professionals. There is also some seating in the shop at the front by the windows, and in the back as well.“

“I must tell you, this is the best donut I have ever tasted. I had the apple fritter donuts and my husband had the caramel donuts. Wow wow wow, the staff were nice, service was good and the donuts were amazing. All the staff, especially the male staff were always so happy and cheerful. I wish we have a happy donuts in England. When next we are in San Francisco, we will definitely return to get more donuts.“

“Those donuts are so fresh and amazing I still go there even though the lady at the counter has no customer service skills whatsoever. She didn't acknowledge me when I entered. I had to say hello more than once to get her out of her trance. Then she was very impatient while I selected half of a dozen options. But these are very fresh donuts so.“
“Very friendly couple at the counter. Always get a box of a dozen donuts here from time to time. They make them really good here, though I recommend getting them before 8am because the donut options get slimmer as the morning goes on. Browsing their menu, they have quite a variety of breakfast and lunch items that look good.“

“Been wanting to try these donuts for awhile — not only are they INCREDIBLY instagrammable, but the sourdough spin on a donut makes them an obvious homage to SF.
We picked up half a dozen for a party and they were an instant hit — our friends loved the novelty and unique flavors (such as “blueberry and lime” and “campfire s’mores”), and they were big enough to cut into smaller bites for everyone to try.
The chewy texture leans less towards a typical baked dessert and more towards regular bread, which actually balances out the intensely sweet and decadent toppings really well.
The first notable downside is the price — I get that the donuts are high quality, but nearly $40 for a half-dozen donuts made this a one-time experience for us. We also picked up a coffee to go, and despite the cute as hell espresso machine, the coffee was below average. I just can’t see myself motivated to go out of my to come back.
The second downside was the presence of flies inside the donut case — we came in the afternoon and understand that flies can get in even the cleanest of spaces, but these big flies were landing all over the donuts. We had to ask the server to switch out a strawberry donut when she grabbed one that the flies had been on, and she didn’t seem too happy about the request.
Overall, if you’re looking for something fun and unique, this is a great place to try — but I wouldn’t plan on making it a regular haunt.“

“This is one of my go-to places for donuts.
I'm a simple donut eater, mainly relegated to just either sugar or chocolate donuts, none of the sprinkle stuff or the curls, but the basics are what keeps me back over and over again. It's my favorite in the city and I've tries a bunch.
I also love the fact that Cam and her mom own and run this joint, the proverbial mom & pop store, except it's a mom/son combo. And they are always in good cheer.
The only bummer is that they don't let you eat in the shop.
This is a neighborhood enterprise so worth supporting.“

“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.“

“This place is AWESOME! Being vegan, I asked what was available. I was told the plain cake donut, the sugar donut and the crumb donut were all vegan! I grabbed a crumb and sugar and they blew me away. Absolutely wonderful. My partner, who is not vegan, got an egg and cheese sandwich that was HUGE and delicious! We also shared a lemonade that was the perfect balance of sweet and sour. I can not recommend this place enough. If not for the food, then for the excellent service. Definitely needs to be a stop when visiting San Fran:)“

“I have never written a review for a restaurant before, but I had to for this place. Me and my friends are road-tripping down the coast of California and we stopped for gas and noticed this breakfast spot near by. Walking in you can feel the warm energy of the owners and they are immediately there to help you. The food ended up being a 10/10, absolutely amazing. I got the BLT on a bagel and was thrilled. They even chatted with us and gave us each a free donut. The kindness of these owners and the vibe and quality of the restaurant is unmatched. I’m writing this as I’m eating I’m so happy.
The Vietnamese coffee may be the greater thing I’ve ever had.“

“One of my favorite donut spots. Love the donut holes and the coffee is actually pretty good.
Parking: Parking lot is shared and there's usually tow trucks. There's also a clothing drop off box. Lots a little busted. Not too long ago they fixed the sidewalk and driveway but still a little easy to miss if you're not paying attention“

“Walked in by chance. We were touring San Francisco and wanted to get something portable, so donuts and smoothie sounded good. Once inside we saw the two ladies making amazing ham/cheese croissant sandwich and we had to try. Delicious!! Hot and toasty from the oven, flaky croissant. So good. We also saw huge chicken burritos being made… will have one of those next time! The mango smoothie was a cool blast of flavor. Tasted like summer.We also got a glazed donut (why not?! ?) and an apple fritter. Both were fresh and delicious.Accessible. A few small tables. Street parking.“

“A Burlingame sweet American donut story pass on from a Polish Jewish immigrants- Philip Kares who open the shop in the late 1970’s; sold it to the Chows in the 80’s, to the Lu’s and now passed on to the Choi. Special memorable thanks to Philip and his family, the staffs—Kathy, Alversia, Alfonso, Mike, Ray, Steve, Genie, —and the many wonderful customers who help made this place specials...“

“Went to wash some clothes stopped by Christy‘s donuts.
They got a nice selection of items.
The prices are pretty reasonable for a cup of ice cream.
I actually got the ice cream for my mom and she said it was pretty good.
If you get a chance, check it out. Customer service is amazing and very friendly.“
