Upon leaving that other place I again smelled the baked goods so I decided to stop by. It was a bit of a line walking in and continued to grow while being there but I could see a huge variety of pastries behind the glass. I was impressed by the variety they had and decided to try a few different ones I wouldn't normally try. I picked up a cinnamon crunch donut and few different custard filled ones. For someone who isn't normally a fan of donuts let alone any filled ones, they were by far some of best donuts I have ever had. I went later in the day and was very impressed by the quality. I look forward to getting a box to go next visit.

Service is straight forward since they are open 24/hrs at the nob hill location. The donut holes looked great, but they lacked that classic fluffy texture, missing the mark on what makes a donut hole truly satisfying. The apple fritter was massive for the price, but the apple flavor was a bit too subtle. The crème brûlée donut was decent, but nothing extraordinary. Overall, it's a nice space, but the search for a top-tier donut hole under $5 continues!

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!

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.

Between the creative flavors and the high sugar content (like the ice cream sandwiches using donuts or the toasted marshmallow, yum!), there's nothing quite like it in the city. Their flavors change based on availability, so your favorites might not always be there. My personal favorites are the coffee, ube, and biscoff. There'd be more of a cult following (like Salt & Straw) if they were in a more optimal location... They also usually only have 1-2 employees at a time, so from order to pick up, there's a bit of a wait. The plaza they're located in is very small, but there's a park nearby if you want somewhere scenic to eat your ice cream.

Our whole house find their malasadas amazing - the pineapple and mango fillings in particular - and my husband is a big fan of the raspberry lemonade filled donut. Currently my new favorite is their cinnamon cereal special donut, which is just amazingly sweet and tasty. The fritters are HUGE, and we generally just nibble on them on and off the day. One warning - if you're in a rush, come EARLY on Friday mornings, because there are a number of bike tours that like to stop here and it can take a while to get through them all! On a personal note, these guys are heroes. Back during the age of COVID, they kept people's spirits up and gave us all a reason to keep going. Each day, all day, people would mask up and line up down the block six feet apart, waiting for their chance to enter the store and order something delicious to keep their spirits up. The world felt like it was ending, but at least it came with tasty, warm and fresh donuts.

Unfortunately, I was very disappointed with my experience this time. I called yesterday (9/11) at 7am and spoke with Carmella about ordering a giant maple bacon donut for pickup the following morning. She let me know that they might not have bacon, but someone was possibly going to get some, and asked what my backup donut would be if they didn't have any. She took my name and phone number and said she would call me if they weren't able to get the bacon. Right after getting off the phone, I called back because I realized we hadn't discussed a pickup time. I asked if I could pick it up at 8am, and I was told it would actually be ready by 7am. I arrived this morning to pick up my order, only to find out that no one knew anything about it and the donut hadn't been made. Thankfully, they were able to put together a giant maple sprinkle donut for me at the last minute, which I really appreciated because it was important to me to continue our birthday tradition. What upset me the most was that after speaking with multiple people, no one apologized or acknowledged the mistake. I understand that things happen, but a simple apology and better communication would have made a big difference. I still like Bob's Donuts and will continue getting their giant donuts, but I hope they can improve their customer service when something goes wrong.

The jelly donut was fat, tart, and soft. The buttermilk had a better than average flavor, with a yummy crust, but the texture was so dry it should come with Heimlich instructions. The apple fritter was stellar, and definitely top five. Crispy edges, fluffy inside- kinda juicy (which probably means greasy) and as sweet as you can get without being too sweet. Like, if I drew a line at too sweet, it was acting like a little brother, hovering one foot over the line but not stepping over it. The best donuts in Outer Sunset, so far.
