“💜 Loved da UBE mini-donuts! 😋“

“Everything there is the best! You will not be disappointed!“

“Love ❤️ it. Missed it so much since we don’t have in Alberta“

“We love their donuts so much. The textures were so good, soft, fluffy, a little crispy on the outside and the sweetness of the glazing was perfect. We got Matcha and cookie and cream donuts. There was no waiting line. There were a promotion for a half price for their anniversaries on that weekend. I want to go back to try more of their flavors. It is located on the second floor.“

“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!“

“Fresh crullers on F, Sa, and Su. Get it, “Cruel Donuts”, crullers???? Anyway the crullers were great. I had a great chocolate frosted raised donut that was also just right. Most donuts, and donut shops are meh, for me.“

“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.“

“Donuts, cookies, french bread and coffee. Its a bit small but the food is good and cheap.

Kid-friendliness: Kids love it

Wheelchair accessibility: There's no steps but entrance is narrow so a wheelchair will be tight but there's seating in the back“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!!“

“We had the apple cinnamon vegan donut with the mint lavender oatmilk latte and it was FABULOUS. Such a soft and airy dough, with little pieces of crunchy apple inside. I’m glad we found this place on our last day, for I would have eaten way more donuts than I should otherwise!“

“Lovely mom and pop shop with lots of regulars and smiling faces. Got a dozen donuts and they were a hit with the family. Their muffins aren't bad either. Parking is a bit tough sometimes, but if you don't mind a walk, you can park along the street or in the plaza a block away. Seating is limited. This is really a stop and go kind of place“

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

“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“

“Fresh and fluffy donuts.“

“Fritters are great for a treat“

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

“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.“

“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:)“

“Some of the best donuts in the bayarea and the owner's are very nice people. Love there range of variety. There jelly filled donuts keep me coming back.

Kid-friendliness: Yes

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes“

“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 tried several of their donuts at the presidio tunnel tops, where they sell from a tent on the weekends. These are the best donuts I’ve ever had. They are best described as beautiful, so much so that I often think of them during the week. The blueberry, raspberry, Boston cream, Bavarian cream, and crème brûlée are all amazing! I hope they continue to maintain a presence in SF!“

“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.“

“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...“

“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“

“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“

“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.“

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

“Best. Coffee. Ever. Always fresh because it's always sold so fast. 24/7 great donuts and breakfast sandwiches, a bit pricey but worth it for the fact I've never in ten years of being a patron, never stale, never day old, best in town.“

“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.“

“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! ??“

“We stopped here for breakfast and OMG these donuts are incredible. Good variety, we liked both their old fashioned donuts as well as their novelty ones (the campfire one was my favorite, with a dark chocolate glaze with a giant marshmallow on top). Their coffee is also very good. Overall, great stop for breakfast or a mid day snack“

“This has become our new weekend spot to pick up breakfast sandwiches, coffee, and donuts. My husband is from the East Coast and is quite particular about breakfast sandwiches and these get his approval. The yeast donuts (the glazed in particular) are really good and we love the cruffins. Vietnamese and regular iced coffees are great and they use pebble ice. Kind, fast service.“

“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 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.“

“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“

“Delicious and extraordinary.“

“Their donuts are simply the best. Don’t pass up on the chance to have at least one maple cover donut as their maple is delicious and unique!“

“A gem in my neighborhood that I have ignored is the small business and Cantonese bakery “Donut Time,” which sells Vietnamese sandwiches, Hong Kong Milk Tea, pineapple buns (bo1 lo1 bao6), tarts (dan1 tat6), and different Cantonese pastries.

The clerk was generous, and gracious. I ordered a Hong Kong milk tea, drank about a third of it, and politely asked if I could give her 75 cents to fill my cup with black coffee, but she let me do it for free.

The items are cheap, and if you are time-strapped and need to get to work at 7 AM, this is an excellent spot for my neighbors here on Noriega Street.“

“I am moving houses and didn’t have anything set up yet so I walked over and was warmly greeted by the owner. I realized I forgot my wallet and was about to walk out, but he offered me a coffee and donut and said, “I trust you, you can pay it tomorrow”. Wow, just wow. That level of kindness took me by surprise. I drove back to pay him. A great family establishment.“

“Staff is friendly, donuts are to die for, and the offerings are limitless!

Vegetarian options: Everything is sweet and revolves around fruits!

Kid-friendliness: Kids (including this grownup kid) love the donuts!“

“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“

“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.“

“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!“

“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“

“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.“
