39 Best Donuts near Mill Valley

“My daughter had to pee. lol We were on our way to Muir Woods when I saw this donut shop. I ordered some donuts as we waited for the fam to go to the restroom. The young man behind the counter was kind and helpful. The donuts were sooooo good. They were fresh. The quality was exceptional. They are a more artisan version of Lamar’s. They have more variety of donuts than many shops. They even had gluten free and vegan choices. We had regular cake and risen donuts. . I lament that Bob’s isn’t found in our state. We will be returning to this area and we will be back to Bob’s. So happy that my daughter had to pee. 😂“

“Very visually pleasing! I bought two to-go and recommend eating them as soon as possible since they don't travel or store well. Best fresh and eating from a napkin while wandering around Japantown. I got a choco and strawberry (whatever had pink frosting?) one, I didn't see a fruity pebble topping one but I was there towards the closing end of their shop hours.“

“Great corner spot for easy access to donuts. Great variety, and nice staff members explaining the flavors. The display case was cute and organized neatly with name tents. Came here after an ebike tour and ordered thir famous Apple Fritter donut. Great flavor! Lovely day.

Famous Apple Fritter donut - massive!!“

“Stumbled upon this place and loved it!“

“One of my favorite lunch spots in San Francisco. The Cambodian sandwiches are great. A lot like bahn mi but with their own flavor and character. I highly recommend the tofu sandwich (might not be shown anywhere on the menu but they got). Everyone here is so nice and the prices are reasonable for the size and quality of the sandwiches!“

“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.“

“Simple no frills donut shop. Quality ingredients and a simple selection make this place stand the test of time. Recently grabbed a fritter, cruller, some donut holes and a few strawberry frosted for the kids. Everyone enjoyed them throughly.“

“Bob’s Donuts is as classic as it gets — no frills, no gimmicks, just really good, old-school donuts done right. The glazed and chocolate are spot-on, perfectly fresh with that just-right chew that keeps you coming back. It’s the kind of place that feels timeless — simple, reliable, and delicious — and a must-visit for anyone who appreciates a true neighborhood bakery vibe. Sometimes the basics really are the best.“

“Apple fritter size is huge and generous. It is nice.

I also bought matcha green tea latte, there is no “no sugar” option, but it is not too sweet, still taste nice to my liking :)

Price is affordable in SF“

“They tried to overcharge me for chicken wings and I had to tell them their menu price says something different. Other than that the wings were ok, prepared fairly quickly and taste pretty good. The quality is not the best but they were crispy and well sauced.“

“Delicious and extraordinary.“

“the local Starbucks had some sort of a plumbing issue and was closed in the middle of the day, so i went to this place to get a cup of joe. And you know what? The coffee they brew is BETTER than Starbucks. I kept going back. It's reasonably priced and the pastries are not bad either--i think i got change from $5 and got a medium coffee and an apple turnover. And the service is great too, so give this place a try!“

“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“

“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:)“

“Marshmallow fluff;) Loved the Milkbomb sandwich! Will definitely go again;)“

“Excellent Service and Food is Hot And Well Prepared!“

“This place was amazing!!! I was sad that we didn't discover this place until our last day in San Fran, or I would have been a daily visitor. The lady made me the BEST chai latte with espresso, so perfectly balanced and foam on top was perfect. I regret not getting a bigger cup. It's a simple place with a few spots to sit, we picked up and walked back to our hotel. The breakfast sandwiches were tasty, donuts soft & sweet, our teen loved the bagels. Definitely on the list for next time we came back to San Fran.“

“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 love this place, have only tried breakfast sandwiches & donuts they are delicious. It's mom & pop shop which I prefer. I feel the love in food & customer service is always welcoming which is missing from so many places. My coworkers all ordered different food options & love them as well Thankyou all star

Parking: Theirs parking garage in the alley by Twitter building & another parking garage if you can't find meter parking“

“perfect donuts & donut holes, so amazing when you catch them immediately out of the fryer. they're so creative when it comes to holiday themed donuts and more unique toppings! such great prices for the quality provided. wonderful people and wonderful donuts“

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

“Wanted a sweet treat and this adorable place caught our eye. I really only wanted the matcha but their 3 for $11 was tempting so ended up getting three donuts.

Tried the matcha one as I left the shop and it was yummy. I did notice it seems more oily than other mochi donut places and could’ve done without the extra oil. The napkin I was holding was quite soaked by the time I had finished it.

Flavours were great, soft and chewy on the inside, I think it would deserve a 5 star if they could tone down the oil a bit.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Delicious and extraordinary.“

“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.“

“good 🍔 tasty doughnuts and the ☕ is hot. also has nice service.. I go there every day and I love it“

“This is exactly what I was looking for my last breakfast on my US trip on a sleepy Sunday morning in SF. Food was good, vibes ok and excellent service. Loved the lottery machines and people playing with them made the place more real. Recommended!“

“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.“

“I didn’t know amazing places like Le Croissant Cafe still existed in big American cities. From the moment you walk in you’re greeted by the warm welcome of the cashier. This is the type of small place where the cashier remembers the orders of her regulars. I love the simple hole in the wall appearance. They had this delicious vegetarian Bhan mi (tofu&veggie ham) that was just phenomenal. If you’re looking for a refreshing old school experience check this place out.“

“This place is the best and I hope they never close! I grew up in the area but now live out of the country and my family has relocated to the east bay but I still make the 60 min drive all the way to Jelly Donut whenever I come to visit them. The owners are super friendly and generous, often throwing in an extra freebie too. We've tried 4 other donut shops in the east bay and none are even close to as good as these. Long live Jelly Donut!“

“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.“

“Perfect Sacher torte - just like in Vienna or Germany. Very refined, layered with jam, chocolate, not too sweet. I have lived in Germany and Austria - this is a proper cake, refined and elegant. No trip to Europe is needed. This would be the highlight for any birthday ! Love, love, love . Order ahead online and treat yourself or a Bestie“

“An authentic SF breakfast spot run by a hard-working couple. Decent breakfast options and an impressive selection of hot sauces! We were also given some lovely free donut balls with our breakfast and coffees. We would be happy to come back again. The coffees were good, too - and they had oat milk, which I was not expecting from a small place like that.“

“Standing dine-in only. Great for coffee, doughnuts and lunch plates (fried foods, burgers and some Asian/island style food).It’s got regular staff and customers. They’re pretty consistent on quality and will throw in extras some time for regular, tipping customers. I enjoyed getting their burger and fries for lunch. Cheap even with the tip, and fairly quick. Good plate-lunch vibes.FYI, sometimes their number in Google maps is wrong/just doesn’t work even if they’re open and taking orders.“

“This place has been around awhile and always has awesome fresh donuts and sandwiches… my favorite is the chicken/avocado with everything.. the staff is excellent and friendly considering they have to deal with all the homeless crackheads and street garbage late at night/early morning….. my hat is off to them for putting up with it!!!! Love them !!!“

“Everything was perfectly cooked and delicious: NY steak(medium), pancakes, crispy hasbrowns, over easy eggs. I asked for onions and bell peppers on my corned beef hash and it was amazing.

Kid-friendliness: My 4yo enjoyed his pancakes, eggs and bacon.“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
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.“
