Amazing unassuming looking donut shop on 24th St. in the heart of the Calle 24 Historic District in…read morethe Mission Neighborhood. We walked right into the cool and cozy no-frills donut shop and was greeted by the friendly staff. She even threw in a few delectable donut holes. I got a cake donut, but my companion got a regular glazed. I'm pretty picky with my glazes, which is why I default to cake when trying new donut places as most classic glazed donuts are pretty stale by the afternoon. But to my surprise, their classic yeasty glazed donut was incredible moist and not too overly fried. This is the mark of an excellent donut shop. I'm even curious to try their jelly-filled donuts next time i'm in. Highly highly recommend and I can't wait to come back!

That afternoon, it was packed with seniors with walkers who just seemed to be hanging out talking. :) The Jelly Donut has all the classics as well as some fun twists. We were looking for a little something sweet, so asked for a lemon jelly donut. I pointed to another big one and asked what it was. The woman behind the counter tongue-tied herself trying to say "crumb-coated cinnamon roll" and laughed which was extremely adorable so I had to get it. And yes, they gave a couple of surprise donuts which we didn't know was a thing. Everyone is tense and crabby these days (for good reason), so such a small move can really make someone's day. And yes, all of the donuts were excellent and fresh! I normally wouldn't order a cruller because they are always chewy and flavorless. Now I get it! This might be one of my favorite kinds of donuts now! I'm going out of my way to buy donuts from here in the future.

Stopped by Dynamo Donut & Coffee and left really happy with my order. I got the granola and a…read morechocolate coconut donut (wheat-free), and both were great. Dynamo is known for seasonal flavors! Even though this chocolate one isn't fruity, I think it is a limited flavor too? Anyway, it was delicious and I appreciate the thoughtful flavor and texture combos. You can tell they use great ingredients! I enjoyed every bite of this chocolate donut with coconut. Not overly sweet like a lot of donuts tend to be, and the coconut on top was so good, generous without being overkill. Texture-wise it was a bit dense given it's a cake donut. Can't wait to go back for more!

I was walking around after brunch nearby, and I noticed that they had a storefront so decided to stop by since it's been a while. Unlike the Marina location, there's indoor seating for you to enjoy your coffee & donuts. My order: Passion Fruit Milk Chocolate ($4.25): +Tangy passion fruit glaze +Milk chocolate pieces added crunch & pops of sweetness +Soft & fluffy donut -Unfortunately, the topping stuck to the paper bag. Raspberry Black Pepper ($4.25): +Soft & fluffy donut -Light on the raspberry and black pepper -Unfortunately, the topping stuck to the paper bag. Side notes: 1.) 1 point for each visit: Sign up w/phone # 2.) Walking distance from MUNI 12 line *Verdict: The cashier was friendly and offered recs, but I felt like these were lacking compared to my previous visits. Not sure if they offer boxes at this location, but that would be a better option for to-go.

Wow! Honestly the best donut I've ever tasted in my life. The quality is just insane: the taste of…read morethe dough, the fluffy texture, and incredible flavors of the frosting/toppings/fillings. From the simple vanilla glaze with sprinkles to the unique seasonal rhubarb meringue, I was simply blown away.

Shop is bright and airy, with the most adorable pastel color scheme. I ordered two of their milk chocolate donuts ($5 each), a key lime meringue donut ($6), a blueberry & lime donut ($5), and a caramel apple donut ($6). Donuts are on the pricier side, but the presentation and use of high quality ingredients makes up for it. The sourdough donuts themselves aren't nearly as sweet as standard donuts and have a soft, bouncy texture. The milk chocolate donut was absolutely decadent. Upon first bite, you can immediately tell this donut was topped with real melted milk chocolate. This was levels above a typical chocolate glazed donut. The flakey sea salt garnished on top balanced out the sweetness nicely. Although I will say that I found the richness of the chocolate to clash slightly with the tanginess of the sourdough donut. The key lime meringue donut had a super tart key lime filling and was topped with fluffy meringue. Definitely the most eye catching of the donuts I picked up. But the key lime filling was a bit too punchy and sour for my liking. The glaze on the blueberry & lime donut had a potent and fresh blueberry flavor that went well with the lime zest sprinkled on top. The caramel apple donut was my favorite. The caramelized apple filling paired with the cream cheese frosting and graham cracker crumbs was almost like eating an apple pie + cheesecake fusion but as a donut! Overall, a solid donut place that I'd return to if I'm ever in need of a special treat!

We came during opening but a lot of the breads were sold out already. We ordered the ube ice cream and the chocolate caramel ice cream with the ube pandesal.

I guess I am more of a demure Dynamo kind of donut lover.

Uncle Benny's is one of those neighborhood spots that just gets it. Whether you're heading to work…read morebefore sunrise, grabbing breakfast after a long night, or just craving a good pastry and coffee, it's incredibly reliable. Having a place that's open practically around the clock is such a luxury, and it's become one of those businesses that the Sunset is lucky to have. One of my favorite things is that the moment you walk through the door, you're greeted by the smell of freshly baked pastries. It's exactly what you hope for when you walk into a neighborhood café. Even better, they taste every bit as fresh as they smell--flaky, buttery, and consistently delicious. It's the kind of place where it's hard to leave with just one pastry. The coffee is always hot, fresh, and ready to go, making it an easy stop whether you're in a rush or taking your time. And if you're hungry, don't skip the sandwiches. They're hearty, indulgent, and absolutely hit the spot, especially in the early morning when you need something substantial to start the day. Beyond the food, Uncle Benny's has that classic neighborhood café feel that keeps locals coming back. Friendly, dependable, and consistently satisfying--it's everything you'd want from a community staple. If you're in the Sunset and looking for a great breakfast, pastry, or coffee, Uncle Benny's is an easy 5-star recommendation.

I was tempted at first to get a banh mi but opted instead to order their namesake items, and I'm ultimately glad I did because I think they're a more accurate representation of their offerings. I got a loaded veggie bagel without cream cheese, as I wanted to add my own Kite Hill dairy free cream cheese, and a "cinnamon roll". The reason for the quotes around cinnamon roll is vector ended up being a doughnut shaped like a cinnamon roll topped with glaze and crumbles. The bagel was great! I received a toasted sesame bagel, which was a surprise because there was not an option to select type on Uber Eats. I love sesame so was quite satisfied. The bagel was stuffed to the brim with veggies, so it was a fantastic way to smash in some healthy produce to start my day. The cinnamon roll doughnut, however, was too sweet, and I'm really not a doughnut person. Like I would probably never go out of my way for one. It was so big I couldn't finish it and ended up composting the rest. I'm glad I tried it to fairly assess the place but wouldn't get again and honestly only added it to my cart to meet the minimum Uber Eats delivery spend to avoid higher fees.
