Bob's Donut & Pastry Shop Reviews
Bob's Donut & Pastry Shop used to be the best donut shop in San Francisco (in my opinion). That has since changed, which is disappointing and unfortunate. First The service absolutely is less than courteous or friendly. Especially the lady who works the counter during the graveyard shift or early morning. I'm not sure exactly, I usually stop in around 6-6:30am and she is always there working the counter at that time. She never smiles, she never says "hello" or "how may I help...read full review

Bob's Donut & Pastry Shop is a must-visit spot for donut enthusiasts. This iconic San Francisco shop offers a variety of flavors, including vanilla custard, blueberry, old fashioned, marshmallow, and apple, and is open 24 hours. The fresh apple fritter is a particular delight. The service is always kind, courteous, and helpful, with staff happy to recommend their favorite treats. The donuts are extremely fresh, made with fresh oil, and not too greasy. The shop has a vintage, old-school ambiance, but with no dine-in space, it's a grab-and-go type of place. Customers describe the maple donuts as very crispy, sweet, and fresh, with plentiful sprinkles and nice frosting. While some find the donuts a bit too sugary, others praise the reasonable prices and delicious taste. The donuts, including glazed and chocolate varieties, are perfectly fresh with a just-right chew, offering that timeless, reliable bakery vibe. Customers appreciate the no-frills, classic approach, and despite some finding the donuts a bit dense or not as light as they prefer, many still find them very good. Open 24/7, the shop is a popular destination for locals and visitors alike, especially after dinner when donuts taste fresh and warm.
