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

“because my cousin work there hooky doughnuts and happy both cousin Judy philip“

“My boyfriend and I are visiting from Florida and decided to have a quick and cheap breakfast to start our day. We both enjoyed the chorizo egg and cheese bagel sandwich with an iced horchata! Really cute place that I wish we had back at home!! The food was fresh and the staff was very nice I definitely want to come back before we leave for Florida, I highly recommend!“

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

“I always get the 12 pack for parties at my house and they’re a hit! Every flavor slaps. I would make sure to allocate time for pickups because there’s only one attendant and if you’re behind someone getting a lot of donuts, you need to be patient.“

“Stumbled upon this place and loved it!“

“Honestly one of the most unique, delicious fresh donuts I have tasted. Great customer service that always gets your order right! Highly recommend this place!“

“Breakfast sandwiches are legit! Simple and good and plenty of options. Used to go to Eats for breakfast before they revamped the menu and made everything expensive with little value. Donuts are fine - I think sometimes they’re over baked in my opinion but yes yes yes to breakfast sandos. Theyre also open early if you’re passing by on the way for a day trip or something.“

“I haven’t eaten a donut in a decade but when the person sitting beside me on the plane yesterday told me that I had to go I did and I HAVE NO WORDS-YUMMMMM! Skip all the other donuts shops, break your donut fast if you’re like me and GO! So good. 😊“

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

“A solid dounough all around for a reasonable price.

The dounout itself was soft with no taste of oil. The glaze was a orange and ginger which sounds like it could be a lot but it was saddle and delicious. While nothing blew me away about it, it is a solid choice on your way to work.

It's all walkup so not much for atmosphere but you probably aren't looking for that if your just on the go anyway.

The staff is really friendly and the dounoughts are pre-made so everything is super fast. Even though they are pre-made, they are super fresh.

A great choice for an on the go donought if your in the area.“

“Een klein zaakje achter het Hilton hotel. Ze accepteren alleen cash. Ze hebben heerlijke verschillende donuts en muffins voor een goede prijs. Daarnaast kun je belegde bagels krijgen die ze ter plekke vers maakt. Ze zijn heerlijk. Prijs tussen de 7 en 10 dollar, ligt eraan wat je voor beleg kiest.
De plek ligt net op de rand van waar veel daklozen verblijven waardoor de sfeer wat minder prettig aanvoelt. Maar de verkoopsters zijn erg vriendelijk en behulpzaam.“

“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“

“This place gives off San Fran vibes and I love it. The staff is super friendly and welcoming. I had their french cruller and I think that it has crack in it—I was addicted after the first bite. Please stop by and support this neighborly little donut shop. My new favorite lil shop.“

“Small unassuming shop on the corner, you'd never guess from the look of the place that the donuts are fresh and amazing. Google says they open at 4 but it's actually 4:30 usually. I've had the glazed, the old fashioned/old fashioned chocolate, and the cake donuts (along with the complimentary donut holes) and they were all superb. Highly recommended especially if you can get there right when they open!

Parking: I think there's 8-10 parking spots. People don't loiter, they get their donuts and go!“

“The donuts here are delicious and definitely live up to the mochi name- they’re chewier than your standard donut texture, but that is the attraction! We only purchased two donuts to try, but wish we had gotten more! We tried the Ube and Churro flavours andLoved them. The staff was very kind and the prices were fair.“

“Fritters are great for a treat“

“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“

“I came back to Alameda after 18 years and was surprised to see this shop still here. I came everyday before school for sunflower seeds and donuts. I am 35 and back then, I was 14-17. They weren’t super duper friendly growing up and well that has not changed. At least they’re consistent.

They were not mean or rude but it wasn’t a hi how are you with a smile. I wasn’t getting warm service. Just basic. I felt like I needed to hurry and order.

The 5 star is for longevity. I did get a donut that I brought back to Virginia to my husband and he seemed to enjoy it. I’m happy they’re still there and hope they continue!!“

“I really like this place. The donut is so light and chewy. The icing is luxurious. My only issue is the different flavors don't really stand out at all. I ordered 6 donuts, each a different flavor but they all tasted the same and didn't really have any flavor at all“

“WITHOUT A DOUBT IN MY MIND OR BELLY, BOBS DONUTS ARE THE BEST DONUTS IN SAN FRANCISCO AND QUITE POSSIBLY ALL OF CALIFORNIA.
I walk the dogs of a friend near the baker st Bob's and stop in frequently, as a small luxury on a fixed income with volunteer gigs, this donut is worth putting change aside for daily.
Imagine my surprise and absolute elation as the elevator lobbydoors opened and sitting on a folding table in subsidized housing in the tenderloin where it truly looks as if there isn't any hope left , in a tiny patch of golden sunlight sat a donation for the residents of the SRO. Large boxes of Bob's.
They were still warm and made a really darky everyday experience a whole lot Lighter.
Thank you Bob's
For knowing your product
And it's influence in the community.
The donuts themselves are clearly made with heart and the variety is plentiful.
I promise on my next in store visit I will give you my top 5. And then I will jog the top 5 off cuz it takes 20 to make a list.“

“A amazing spot for great doughnuts and a cup of Joe. Morning treat, grab one or a dozen. The selection is large and you will not just want one. A great way to start the morning. The staff is friendly and helpful with your selection. Definitely a spot to choose in your neighborhood.“

“I was picking up my wife from SFO and arrived around the neighborhood way early. Not even Panera was open at 5. I was so glad that a donut shop like this opened at 5am so I could get some food.

Store looked pretty clean and I was excited that I could get a hot savory item like #3: sausage, egg and cheese croissant. There wasn’t really room in the shop to eat so I started munching it in my car. It sure hit the spot at 5:30AM. I saved half of the croissant for my wife and got her several donuts.

The donuts tasted pretty good too. I’ll be sure to visit if I have to get to SFO early again. I gotta try one of those bigger donuts next time.“

“Nice chill spot. Staff can be a bit impatient, but don't blame them(they are really nice), there are so many unique offerings that people have a tendency to stand there staring (not joking). So if they're staring at you waiting and others are staring at you, you should probably just ask them to make you a box. Hot chocolate is SERIOUSLY hot chocolately. Make sure you get a mug and enjoy your pastry.“

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

“Fresh and fluffy donuts.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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! ??“

“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.“

“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.“

“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...“

“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“

“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.“

“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:)“

“Been here twice. If you can get passed the homeless smoking crack just outside, then the place is great. The two ladies inside are cheery and friendly. The donuts were excellent and it's nice to see a place that sells apple "bear" claws. Coffee was hot and fresh. Prices are reasonable for the city.“

“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.“

“Love it! I've been craving mochi donuts and this place delivered!
I got the Half Dozen Mochi Donut set with Churro x2, Ube, Birthday Cake, Funnel Cake, & Dark Chocolate.
The texture is great! Chewy like what you expect the mochi to add, but not TOO much like regular mochi. Its a good mix to the donut.
The flavors were perfect! You can tell the flavor you're eating but its not overpowering. I didn't love the Birthday Cake because of the sprinkles but I dont love sprinkles so its got nothing to do with the mochi donut itself. The frosting was yummy (i ate the Oreo side and gave the sprinkle half to my bf).
Comes in a CUUUTE box!

I also got a Longsilog food item. Great amount for the price! The pork sausages were juicy & meaty. Some of the garlic rice pieces were a little harder but that happens when you fry rice. The garlic wasn't super potent or flavorful (which is essential in garlic rice haha) so that was a little disappointing but the runny egg was great for flavoring the rice up to make up for it.

Would definitely go back! Gotta try the boba drinks.

Pros: Lots of items to try for food and drink. Yummy. Price is reasonable. Staff is nice!
AND THEY GIVE FREE BOOKS!!! I love Artemis Fowl and they had 1

Cons: Seems like the donuts only come in 6 flavors (I didn't get Yuzu) and I don't know if/when they rotate flavors, so if you dont like those 6, good luck.
Place is really small inside so you can't hang out in there really. Just a small bar for waiting.“

“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!“

“Been wanting to try these donuts for awhile — not only are they INCREDIBLY instagrammable, but the sourdough spin on a donut makes them an obvious homage to SF.

We picked up half a dozen for a party and they were an instant hit — our friends loved the novelty and unique flavors (such as “blueberry and lime” and “campfire s’mores”), and they were big enough to cut into smaller bites for everyone to try.

The chewy texture leans less towards a typical baked dessert and more towards regular bread, which actually balances out the intensely sweet and decadent toppings really well.

The first notable downside is the price — I get that the donuts are high quality, but nearly $40 for a half-dozen donuts made this a one-time experience for us. We also picked up a coffee to go, and despite the cute as hell espresso machine, the coffee was below average. I just can’t see myself motivated to go out of my to come back.

The second downside was the presence of flies inside the donut case — we came in the afternoon and understand that flies can get in even the cleanest of spaces, but these big flies were landing all over the donuts. We had to ask the server to switch out a strawberry donut when she grabbed one that the flies had been on, and she didn’t seem too happy about the request.

Overall, if you’re looking for something fun and unique, this is a great place to try — but I wouldn’t plan on making it a regular haunt.“

“They have a whole lot of donuts and their service has no holes in it. Very busy place, but don't fret because you can get your donut fix in time. Probably why they named themselves that, but I'm not in the donut mafia so I couldn't really say.In all seriousness, as serious as one can get get about donuts, the donuts are fresh and taste like they should delicious. If you're look for a conventional type of donut come here. If you're looking for something bizarre I don't know what to tell you aside from enjoy the simple things in life while you can. Thank you for taking the time to read this and maybe it made you laugh a bit... maybe.“

“This is one of my go-to places for donuts.

I'm a simple donut eater, mainly relegated to just either sugar or chocolate donuts, none of the sprinkle stuff or the curls, but the basics are what keeps me back over and over again. It's my favorite in the city and I've tries a bunch.

I also love the fact that Cam and her mom own and run this joint, the proverbial mom & pop store, except it's a mom/son combo. And they are always in good cheer.

The only bummer is that they don't let you eat in the shop.

This is a neighborhood enterprise so worth supporting.“

“This place is amazing I flew in from Utah and never had donuts like this in my life I can tell ingredients are amazing almost like made from duck eggs because of how soft they are like a perfectly toasted marshmallow soft on the inside and toasty in the outside delicious fresh prefect texture and quality everyone should come “

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

“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“

“Couldn't afford the entire price for a dozen donut holes. The nice lady broke it down for me and gave me like 8 or 9 donut holes or whatever the amount was to the pocket change i was paying with.Donut holes were all very good. Fresh. Tasty.Got pulled over by police 3 miles down the road though. Wish i had some donut holes left to offer them to the officer ....but luckily i was let go on a warning.“

“One of the best breakfast sandwiches I have ever had. I got the #2 with American cheese and a jalapeño bagel. I’m so impressed by how inexpensive the food is and how good it is! The owner is super sweet and I feel at home here. Thanks yall! If you haven’t been here yet, you’re missing out! Check out Glaze Donuts ☺️“

“Delicious and extraordinary.“
