“Living in Nob Hill this place is my favourite go to spot, the bbq pork vietnamese sandwich is amazing, the breakfast sandwiches hit the spot, their cream cheese chocolate muffin is to die for. But what makes this place a 10/10 is customer service, the ladies who run the store are amazing people, super friendly and accommodating, make great convo, give amazing recommendations. Love coming here because of the good food and hospitality. 11/10 would recommend!“

“I live in LA but my family is here in SF so I travel back and forth frequently. An LA friend blabbered on and on... about “Bob’s Doughnuts on Polk!” She came to believe that I had a deprived childhood because I had never experienced Bob’s! Ooookay... relax lady, it’s a just a doughnut shop.

Recently, I had been up in SF for an extended period of time and was driving back to LA. I decided to surprise my friend with a box of goodies from Bob’s. I had her box packaged up and then selected a couple of doughnuts to nibble on the 6 hour drive... OMG, she was right, I’ve had a deprived childhood!

I like sweets but I’m not normally a “doughnut person”. IMHO - The texture and flavor rivals Michelin star pastry chef status... I don’t know what they do to them, it’s “doughnut utopia”

The texture had a lovely crisp to the outside and a perfect softness on the inside with a buttery flavor. The frosting is excellent- good flavor, texture and sweetness without the grainy, sugariness of many other baked goods. Regardless of the type of sweet, I often find myself scraping off the frosting because it feels like I’m eating straight from the sugar jar.

Bob’s is well worth the trip, calories, carb guilt and “my parents didn’t love me” therapy hours.“

“Delicious and extraordinary.“

“These donuts are delicious. They are perfect with a cup of coffee. Iwould definitely recommend getting them.“

“Location is really cute and convenient and offers only some outdoor seating )few tables and chairs) around where they sell coffee and Doughnuts. However there are plenty of benches around the marina/marina green to sit on as well. There are a variety of vegan doughnuts (but they can sell out) clearly labeled in green, and they also sell dog cookies and pup cups! Staff are all very friendly and helpful“

“Hands down some of the most delicious donuts around. Fresh, perfectly made, and not overly sweet, just solid, classic donuts done right.

The prices are also refreshingly reasonable compared to other donut shops, which makes it way too easy to come back more often than planned. Great quality, great value, and always a satisfying stop. Highly recommend if you’re a donut fan.“

“I have never written a review before. This was an awesome surprise finding out how good these doughnut were. I should have know they were good now that I notice their next to Sol Food. I got the doughnut box off the To Good To Go App and it was way beyond my expectations. Awesome“

“Let me start by saying — I’m a tough reviewer ( evidence below). 90% of the time, I give terrible or fantastic reviews, and this doughnut shop firmly lands in the “fantastic” category (the kind that restores your faith in humanity and fried dough).

Everything on the menu is pure deliciousness. My kids loved anything with sprinkles or chocolate, leaving a trail of sticky smiles behind them. As for me? I fell head over heels for their apple fritters — crisp on the outside, tender insid. And don’t even get me started on the plain old-fashioned doughnuts — simple, nostalgic perfection that somehow tastes like a Sunday morning hug.

Highly recommend — but be warned: once you try these doughnuts, there’s no going back to ordinary ones.“

“I loved the donuts -nothing fancy, just traditional ones with classic flavors - but the dough was so fluffy that I thought they were delicious. It's a great spot to grab a coffee, eat some donuts and keep exploring the city. Next time, we ll try the Asian food.“

“Have only tried the doughnuts here, but they are delicious (and cheap!) every time. Bunch of different flavors of coffee too. Real hole in the wall neighborhood spot that has become my go-to. Definitely as good as Bob’s a few blocks down.“

“The donuts here are out of this world good. Especially the apple fritters, cinnamon buns, and crumb cake donut. And the coffee is really good too. Not too strong and bitter. Just right.

The staff is always friendly and helpful and quick with a smile.

There are tons of other breakfast and lunch offerings from the grill but when they have the best donuts in SF, and quite possibly the world, why try anything else. I have lived in 16 countries on 3 continents, and travelled to dozens more, and the donuts here are by far the best I have ever had.

The place is a hot spot for breakfast and lunch but as the staff is so efficient and helpful you never have to wait long.

I gave the atmosphere a 5 star because if you come to a traditional, old style, American artisan donut emporium and expect something other than basic accoutrements, you’re in the wrong place. The place is not chi-chi or frou-frou, but it is down home, comfortable and clean.“

“Mariposa Bakery is excellent place to have breakfast or a sweet snack while at the Ferry Building in San Francisco. Tables and benches along the pier by the water is perfect for enjoying the sights including passenger ferries and the Bay Bridge.

Line can be long so recommend you go at an off time between breakfast and lunch or later in the day.

Great to also bring back home or your hotel if visiting“

“San Francisco Historical Landmark, all the locals and neighbors will tell you, or show you, because there is a line out the door at various hours of the day, especially for the buttermilk and giant donuts. Breathtaking experience of culinary delight.“

“The spicy chicken wasn't as spicy as I would have liked - even with the additional hot sauce they provided - but then again, that might just be my high tolerance. The chicken itself was juicy and scrumptious and the garlic noodles had a great consistency to them. I didn't try the donuts, but the apple fritters were a great size and I definitely want to try one the next time I'm in the area. Employees were friendly and inviting, which is key for me as a return customer. And the prices are wonderful - currently 8 dollars for three items! While the selection isn't as wide as other Chinese joints (especially in Chinatown), it's great if you're craving Chinese food and want some some quick and cheap takeout.“

“Excellent coffee and breakfast sandwiches! Plus, they are the only place that opens at a reasonable time for coffee. It's run by one person, so it can take time, but he's pretty efficient, so not too much time. If you like good coffee, I definitely recommend Latte Express!“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I stopped by Liliko Boba after visiting a friend who lives nearby. It had been a long, busy day, and I was really craving something refreshing — a mix of coffee, tea, and boba. When I walked in, I was greeted by a kind and welcoming woman. I explained that I was in the mood for something unique, and she said, “I’ll make it special for you.”

She crafted a delicious cinnamon coffee-tea blend for me, and I was so excited that I forgot to mention I wanted boba added. When I realized and told her, she didn’t hesitate at all. Even though the drink was already made, she smiled and said, “No problem,” and added the boba right away.

Her friendly attitude and great customer service truly made my day. The drink itself was amazing — flavorful, balanced, and just what I needed. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Highly recommend this place not only for their drinks but also for the warm, personal experience.“
