One of the best donut spots in SF. Everything is super fresh and really reasonably priced at around / less than $3 for most donuts. The donuts were warm, soft and chewy. My favorite so far has been the Oreo overload which I also really like that the donuts aren't overly sweet or oily. The lady running the food truck is so nice too! Very helpful in assisting us with picking flavors, how long certain donuts would stay fresh etc. read more

I was wondering around Spark Social looking for something sweet for dessert, realized I had this donut truck bookmarked! Lemon peach cobbler cake donut: A Crumble donut: B Both of the donuts I tried tasted great. I liked the balance of the lemon peach cobbler cake donut, as the dab of jelly compliments the crumbly cobbler bits. And the fruity flavor comes through nicely to balance the density of the cake donut. The crumble donut was pretty good too, I like the bits of crumble to contrast the airy light style donut. Donuts were $3 each which is not bad for a more luxurious donut! read more

For the tl;dr crowd: GO DIRECTLY TO MAGICAL DONUTS. DO NOT CONFUSE IT WITH MAGIC DONUTS & COFFEE. DO NOT PASS GO. DO NOT COLLECT $200. SPEND $200 ON DONUTS AND BE HAPPY INSTEAD. For anybody who likes reading about transcendent donut experiences and is putting off more productive pursuits: Some say I have a donut problem; I say I got 99 problems but donuts ain't one. In the past year or so I've scarfed down doughy delectables from at least these spots (sugar-induced blackouts may have caused me to forget a few) in San Francisco: All Stars (Clement) Bob's (old & new spots on Polk) Bob's on Baker Donuts & Things Donut World Dynamo George's Donuts & Merriment Hahdough Happy Donuts (24th/Church) The Jelly Donut Johnny Doughnuts Le Bonta Italiane Magic Donuts & Coffee The Mochi Donut Shop (Clement) Mochill Mochidonut (Japantown) My Happy Donut Ocean Malasada Trish's Mini Donuts Twisted Donuts & Coffee Vio Handcrafted Pastries (Outer Sunset Farmer's Market) Heck, I've recently found reliable options at Safeway and Lucky in a pinch. Yet, despite all of my donut adventures, I somehow didn't make it to Magical Donuts in Mission Bay's Parklab Gardens (across the street from SPARK Social) until late February 2026. As it turns out, I saved the best for last. Like, I love Magical Donuts so much that I'd seriously consider joining the gatekeeping dark side if Tomoko and Simon (more on them below) weren't so worthy of our support and if I didn't want you, fellow sweet toothian, to experience donut bliss. SERVICE When I walked up around 8 a.m. on a fateful, cool Saturday morning I was warmly greeted by Simon and Tomoko, who cheerfully offered recommendations, answered questions, and shared little nuggets about the various styles on offer. If they didn't have better things to do, I could have chatted with them all morning. THE GOODS As you can see from the photo, I sampled a range of styles. I was floored by each and will have them all again, but given how confident I am in the skill and care put into everything made here I'll probably try an entirely different selection next time. Other big takeaways: Just the right amount of sweetness and chew. And you can actually taste different flavors. Too often at other spots the glazes look different but taste nearly the same and every dang donut has the same over fried texture. Everything: dough, glazes, fillings, and cream cheese frosting all tasted fresh and clean enough for Stankonia-era OutKast. Not a drop of grease to be found, and yet not a single donut was remotely dry. None of these donuts, not even the fritter, felt "heavy" in the way that they can and often do. Each had just the right heft to reflect its style. These donuts are just the right size. I'd seen the "one-bite happiness" tagline prior to my visit and slightly worried that I was buying a ticket to a "Honey, I Shrunk the Donuts" Dynamo-like experience. Nope. And also not Johnny Doughnuts-like slabs that I sometimes tire of before I can finish. The chocolate frosted and sugar shell donuts are filled to order. On the day of my visit custard, lemon, and raspberry fillings were available (and yes, I tried all three). The variety is amazing, and includes gluten-free and vegan options for those who partake. PARKING & TRANSIT I've heard enough horror stories about Mission Bay parking that I don't dare drive there, so I can't speak to how easy it is to find a spot. I can say that these donuts are so good that I just might risk a ticket in the future. I can happily report that the 22 drops off and picks up feet from the Magical truck, and that the T and other bus lines stop nearby as well. And hey, given how many of these donuts will be calling your name maybe getting a few steps in before and/or after isn't a bad idea either.

I'll be honest -- I'm not usually a donut person. I don't crave them, I don't go out of my way for them... but Magical Donuts at Spark Social? That's a whole different story. They truly live up to their name -- every bite feels like a little bit of magic. Their menu has so much variety, and I love that they always feature seasonal flavors (the mixed berry one was chef's kiss). Pair it with their coffee and it's the perfect pick-me-up combo! The staff is super friendly with great recommendations and service is quick as well. It's a cute little shop and it's on the side [in my opinion] that isn't as crowded and i love that, I don't feel rushed to make a selection haha. It's been a while since my last visit, but writing this review just reminded me that I need to go back -- ASAP. Parking can be a little tricky depending on the time of day, but honestly, just Waymo or rideshare and treat yourself stress-free. You'll thank me later. read more

I'd give this spot 4.5/5! Magical donuts is a pretty solid spot! We got their chocolate crumb rise and their cinnamon crumb cake. Personally we enjoyed the cake donut version more than the rise donut. It's the baking soda that brings a more dense, chewy, SOFT consistency. The rise donut was great in flavor but more donut consistency - airy from the yeast. I'd give the cake donut 5/5 and the rise donut 4/5. Definitely want to come back to try out the different flavors in the cake version. Price - we paid ~$3 for each donut. It wasn't too bad given they are quite filling and DEEEEEELICIOUS. Staff - no staff per se but the owner was taking her time to explain the difference between cake vs rise donuts, what was popular, what was limited version, and new flavors. Super friendly and welcoming!! Ambiance - cute food truck that had a lot of character. The location of where the food truck is an interactive space that allows for other food purchasing variety where you can lounge and play games. Great SF vibes for enjoying the outdoors. read more

This is the most amazing donut truck ever. Their branding is so eye catching and they're true to their word. The donuts are simply magical. The lady working there is also incredibly friendly. I got a variety of donuts that included a cinnamon twist, sugar raised, chocolate and strawberry sprinkles, sourdough, and glazed bacon bar. The owner also threw in a few donut holes as well, so generous! These are possibly the best donuts I've had. They're perfectly fluffy, not oily, and not insanely sweet. All around perfection. Cinnamon twist, bacon bar, and sugar raised donuts are my absolute favorites here. The sourdough was interesting, but I don't think I was a fan of the sour aftertaste paired with sweet. Donuts are also reasonably priced at around $2 per. I can't recommend this place enough. read more

My bf has been bringing back donuts for the past week and I just had to know where they were coming from LOL. These are delicious! Seems like a super cute donut truck in Parklab Gardens across Spark Social. VERY dedicated to the rainbow theme. Seems to be run by one boss lady, who's so sweet and happy to give recommendations on daily specials. We've had a few of their yeast-raised (SO. FLUFFY. And not greasy at all) and sourdough (my bf's favorite, has a better chew and unique flavor), which have all been great. The frosting isn't overly sweet and tastes fresh. My favorites so far have been the regular vanilla and strawberry yeast-raised. Look forward to seeing what other flavors they cook up next :-) read more

This review is long overdue! We've been coming to Magical Donuts since they opened, and they've become a regular part of our lives. We always joke that we're the night crew since we usually swing by in the evenings, and it's become this comforting little ritual we look forward to. Me, my husband, and our toddler son all absolutely love their donuts! They're ridiculously good--soft, fluffy, and somehow still fresh even after a couple of days (if we can manage not to eat them all right away). But what really keeps us coming back isn't just the donuts--it's Tomoko, Simon, and Seika (and their son when he visited!). They're the sweetest people and make the whole experience even better. You can tell how much care they put into everything. For our son's 2nd birthday, we ordered customized Kiki's Delivery Service donuts, and they were beyond perfect! Magical in every way--almost too pretty to eat (but of course we did, and they were delicious)! read more

What a perfect setting for a perfectly lovely little donut shop. Lots of choices, and (so far) all delicious. And the woman who runs it is also amazing. Says she just loves making donuts, and it shows. I have tried raised, cake, vegan - all quite good. Even done large orders for the office (and am now the most popular guy here). Be sure to stop by.

Most recently, I asked Tomoko to cater cinnamon rolls for my daughter's first birthday and they were beyond excellent. Truly amazing. Old-fashioned cinnamon rolls with butter, cinnamon sugar, and topped with thick cream cheese frosting. The closest I've had to her rolls is from a small stand in Mariposa, CA (makes me homesick) but Tomoko has them beat. A must try if you're in the area. read more

Open air, a mix of food trucks, people hanging out, dogs everywhere, and that easy San Francisco energy where you can show up however you are and it fits. It never feels like a production, just a good place to land. We have eaten our way through a decent chunk of the trucks at this point, and that is half the fun. One day it is something messy and indulgent, the next it is lighter, but it always hits. Grabbing a drink, finding a spot at the picnic tables, and slowly settling in as the place fills up is kind of the rhythm. It is social without being overwhelming, lively without being chaotic.

Beyond that, the food and drinks are all food truck based. They are all quite good, and there's a wide variety of items. This also means a good variety for folks with different dietary needs, because they are mostly picking their own food. I have always enjoyed my time here, whether it's on company dime or if I'm just hanging out with friends. I do wish that there are more heaters around for the colder days but that's just life in the bay! It can be kind of cold and foggy all seasons here, so if you have a solid group of folks I'd recommend reserving a spot with a fire pit. One more note: parking can be tough. You either have to circle around for street parking, or rideshare here.

They need some kind of dipping sauce or something for it. Seasoning was not evenly spread out so some parts were saltier on the skin. Lots of herbs like thyme and rosemary. Just too bad the meat didn't stay juicy. 3.5/5 ROTISSERIE PORCHETTA SANDWICH ~ skin was crispy and burnt, so it was bitter yet crunchy. Pork was tender, but I didn't taste much of the jam. I did not like the bitter burnt skin. I personally thought it threw the flavor off. If it wasn't bitter, it would have scored higher. I always enjoy bread toasted when having a sandwich. Sadly, they don't toast it. My friend loves this sandwich and told me the skin wasn't supposed to be crunchy and burnt! So I'm assuming this wasn't typical. 3/5 The 4 of us shared the whole chicken and split the porchetta sandwich. But hearing that the sandwich wasn't made correctly this time around, I'm compelled to give it another try in the future.

I ordered the beef rendang, which came with rice, jackfruit, greens, a boiled egg, and a shrimp chip. Overall, it was a good, flavorful meal and definitely hit the spot compared to the other options at Spark Social. My only feedback is that the rendang could have had a little more depth and umami. The flavor was on the lighter side, which I assume is to make it more approachable for people who may not be familiar with Indonesian food. I also ordered the wings, and they were good. They were crispy and came with a sweet chili sauce that paired well with them. Nothing especially unique, but still tasty. I'd definitely come back if I was at Spark Social again and wanted Indonesian food.

TWICE AT GOLDEN GATE PARK…read more In the past 11 months I've been to two exhibitions at De Young Museum. After the exhibitions instead of eating at the cafe in the museum I would look at food trucks at Golden Gate Park. After those two exhibitions I've ordered food from this food truck. The first time I came to Cochinita was in September after the exhibition featuring photos taken by Paul McCartney during the rise of The Beatles. The item that stood out from the truck was the elote tots. They were Mexican-style corn kernels top over tater tots. I am a sucker for tater tots. With sour cream and sauce I was worried if the tater tots would be soggy. The tater tots were still crispy. The complimenting textures of corn and tater tots made this a satisfying dish. The second time I came to the food truck at Golden Gate Park was the last day of exhibition "Monet and Venice." I was hoping to see if the elote tater tots were available; they weren't. I scanned up and down the items available listed on the food truck. One item that intrigued me was the tradicional - a plate with two types of fried tortilla. The panucho is regular fried while the salbut is fried with a puffy appearance. I love fried food, but these two tortillas weren't oily. These two kinds of tortilla fried dishes provided different textures to the toppings. I never ate Yucatan food before ordering food at Cochinita. If you are tasting a new cuisine you never had before ordering from a restaurant versus a food truck is different. Whereas in a restaurant while sitting you ask for recommendation whereas at a food truck while you're standing you go with your gut feeling. From my two experiences at the Cochinita food truck I ordered items I never had before and I enjoyed both of them. If I go to the Chochinita food truck at Golden Gate Park again and see elote tots, panucho, and salbut what will I order next time? I'm going to order an item I never had before.

YUM!! I had the vegan panuchos and a guava jarritos. Flavors were absolutely on point!…read more How perfect this tasted in that blissful location along Marina Green Park. Will definitely be back to try the other vegan options ( tacos, burritos, bowls).

We arrived on a weekend afternoon. I didn't realize this spot was from LA and how popular it was! The taco truck is bright orange and easy to find. Lines can get long, but they go by relatively fast. Service wasn't the friendliest, interaction-wise, but the good came out in a reasonable time, considering the line and it being made to order. There are a couple of standing tables, which we ate at with our dogs. Most folks took their food to go. So I didn't realize they were known for their Al Pastor, which I ended up getting. I got one Al Pastor and one Carnitas Taco. The meat is marinated and off a spit. It had a nice flavor, and I'd get both again. When you receive your tacos, they ask if you want toppings and salsa. It's nice in the sense that you can build it to your liking. All the salsas are good; my friend and I enjoyed the avocado one the best. Along with tacos, they have other food and drink items. I got the delicious Horchata. The only thing is prices weren't actively posted, so keep that in mind. I'm not too familiar with the Mexican food truck scene in the city. For the price and what we wanted, Leo's Tacos was a good option. Find them off the Great Highway with residential parking and a lot as well.

Fancy doughnuts with creative flavors and decorations, unlike anything you've seen before! The O.G.: Pretty basic, no gimmicks. Just a regular doughnut and some vanilla frosting. Apparently they use milk bread, so it's a little fluffier than regular doughnuts. Bart's Dad: This is actually what I'd consider the classic doughnut, with pink frosting and rainbow sprinkles. It kind tastes the same as The O.G., but feels more fun. Napa Creme: Definitely loving this one. It's like a Boston Creme, but a tad fancier. The custard inside doesn't taste as sweet and has a nice tang. Also, I liked how the chocolate frosting on top was a little more complex than the Dunkin version. Oooh Baby: I'm a big fan of ube since it's a fun colored sweet potato. Definitely one of the richer / heavier doughnuts I tried here. Fun to look at and fun to eat. Sakura X: Very beautiful doughnut with such a pretty blossom painted on top. Plus the filling has a delicious floral tone. Definitely the most memorable doughnut here. The Robin: So the egg nest is really innovative and looks great on Insta. Tastes good too with all the crunchy phyllo. If you eat the nest & egg first, the rest of the doughnut is kinda blah though, reminds me of The O.G. 24 Carrot Magic: So the little gold leaf is definitely gimmicky, since it looks cool but there is absolutely no flavor. I like that they only used a speck, since places that coat a whole ice cream cone in gold leaf end up charging you a lot. But the gold is not the star here by any means, the carrot cake base is the true star. It's very cakey, has carrot shreds and has raisins. All with a crunchy fried texture on the outside. And pairs great with the cream cheese frosting. Perhaps my favorite here. Bunny Butt: Apparently this is a vegan. It had a bunch of coconut shreds and a sugary bunny butt candy. Looked fun, but wasn't as tasty as the other doughnuts here.

Napa Crème - vanilla bean cream filled topped with dark chocolate with a tough of Cabernet, candied cocoa and chocolate pearls. The O.G. - glazed with Madagascar vanilla bean. Bart's Dad - paying homage to Homer, its pink vanilla glazed with rainbow sprinkles. My two favorites were the Ooh Baby with its purple cake and ube cream filling and the Napa Crème with it vanilla bean custard filling.
