Gateway Croissant

Great tasting donuts, coffee and other sandwich & snack items. No place to set.

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.

LETS JUST SAY I LOVE IT SO MUCH I HAD TO QUIT, and that was after gaining about 15 pounds AFTER having a baby!
Buttermilk maple warmed are to die for

This hidden gem is on a busy corner of the tenderloin near a lot of government offices and banh mi shops. The donuts are always fresh and it’s easy to quickly pick up large orders. The donut holes are light and fluffy and they have lovely churros!

bacon only takes five minutes to cook about the same time as the eggs. so it was weird and somewhat disheartening that even when I asked for freshly cooked bacon I was refused and told pre-cooked was the only option.i get wanting to take less time although when I'm the only one in the store and personally request fresh bacon instead of pre-cooked this would was on those situations where "the customer is always right" was applicable and should have been practiced. this was also the first time I was in here and the egg was undercooked.not that she asked how I wanted my egg cooked but nonetheless it was undercooked.

Thank you gateway croissant for my "Luther" breakfast sandwich. The woman behind the counter made sure to make it exactly how I wanted. It was her first time making a breakfast sandwich with a donut instead of a bagel, she eventually understood the assignment. 24 your cravings

24-hour donut shop right in heart of SF, in the city's Tenderloin neighborhood. The neighborhood can be pretty sketchy at night, but the grandma who works the overnight doesn't let the riff-raff in, and the donuts etc are amazing. Some of the best donuts in the Bay.

Kid-friendliness: The restaurant itself is fine for kids, but the surrounding neighborhood not so much, esp. @night.

The ladies behind the counter are fast and accurate. They are no nonsense employees and won't hesitate to bark at you if your acting out of line.
Best time to go is around 2-3am just because it seems I usually catch a fresh batch being laid out of warm moist doughnut. Absolutely heavenly!!!
The atmosphere has improved lately every since the open air drug market was shut down that ran along the outside sidewalk at night. Daytime visits are fine with nothing to worry about.
