I've heard about Rolling Pin Donuts for a while now, but this was my first time finally stopping by -- and I'm so glad I did. There's something special about walking into a place that feels like it's been part of the community for years. You can tell this isn't just another donut shop. The donuts are made fresh daily, and you can taste that care in every bite. We picked up a variety to try (because how do you even choose just one?), and each one felt classic, comforting, and honest. The staff were incredibly kind and accommodating -- warm in a way that feels genuine, not forced. It makes such a difference when you're welcomed like that. And can we talk about the box? I absolutely love the design and colors. It feels nostalgic and iconic, like you're holding a little piece of San Bruno history in your hands. You can sense the legacy behind this place. Local businesses like this are what give a neighborhood its soul. If you're anywhere near San Bruno, skip the chains and come here instead. Let's continue supporting spots that pour heart into what they do. Rolling Pin Donuts, you've earned a new fan.

It's so cute! And charming. And very old-fashioned. When I walked in, I didn't immediately spot anything in the place that didn't exist in the 1980s or '90s at the very latest. Yes, the credit-card reader is modern, but I mean looking at the walls, the coffeemakers, the showcases of donuts. The sight and smell transported me instantly to my childhood, and my dad was asking five-year-old John S. whether he wanted a cake donut with pink frosting and rainbow "sprinklies" or donut holes instead. (At that age, I always opted for the donut holes.) The prices are from now, but the selection is amazing. I think I bought three or four donuts. I ate one in my car in the parking lot, and saved the rest for later. They were delicious fresh and a day old and a few days old and refrigerator cold. They have their own parking lot, and the place is tiny, so I can't imagine parking would ever be a problem. This might have been a four-star review back in the day solely because there used to be so many donut places that weren't ripoffs with super friendly employees. These employees are nice but not eager and sweet like many donut- and ice-cream-shop employees used to be. But it's open 24/7, and who can beat that in a suburban area with very easy freeway access from SFO and either the 101 or the 280? (It's right near the 380, which connects those other two freeways.)

Came here the other to satisfy a late night doughnut craving. Normally I get excited about the smell of doughnuts but when I stepped out the car and walk inside, nothing. What didn't sit well with me was I ordered one sugar twist donut, and not even a minute later she tossed the rest of that tray right in front of me. Why even sell it to me if it's deemed bad enough to toss. But I bought it anyway just to see. Lo and behold, it was stale and a little hard. Makes me think they just want my money and don't care about quality. I would rather them warn me they're going to be tossed instead of selling me one THEN tossing it. I did however enjoy the cinnamon roll after I microwaved it the next day for about 10 seconds. Even then, I'm wondering how long it was sitting out for before they would have tossed it. Then again, late night probably isn't the ideal time to get a fresh batch of donuts. The other donuts I got were pretty good, but even then I'm wondering how close were they to being thrown out.

Greetings to all, this not my first time to this little powerhouse of a doughnut shop: The parking lot is small but gets the job done. Inside the shop it was very clean with that Fresh baked Goodies smell; Mmm. The service is always friendly with a smile. The doughnuts and other goodies are always fresh and delicious; l have always had a good positive experience coming here. Nice job Rolling Pin

coconut crumble
Lisa W.

Definitely one of my favorite donut shops because everything is made fresh and open 24/7. My favorite donut is definitely the coconut crumble, it's so soft and moist with a slightly crunch exterior due to the coconut shreds. Every time I come here, that's a must. They also have coffee and tea for anyone that's tired, not craving any donuts. There's usually one or two people working here, so there's never a wait to get your donut cravings in. The donut holes with fillings are also another favorite here, either plane or filled with custard topped with maple glaze. Recently, I saw they now have churros here!! It's good when it's fresh or heated up. The inside of this donut shop can fit about 15-20 people I would say. Definitely stop by here for your late night donut cravings.

Donut Hole
Akari Y.

My go to!!! When you go here try the donut holes because they are life changing. I dream of them. The workers seems like a family owned business and it seems sweet

Assortment of Donuts
Allena C.

For a hole-in-the-wall donut shop, it seems to always have customers rolling in for rolling pin donut no matter what time it is! After dinner, we dropped by to pick up some donuts for some friends and a few for ourselves. Donuts are always being made, so they're pretty fresh. Better than some other donut shops that don't have that many customers and donuts just sit there all day. We have tried their glazed, chocolate, maple glazed, coconut, and lemon and blueberry filled donuts. All were yummy with good, fluffy texture. Also tried their yummy apple fritters too. It's the old school type of donut that's more substantial. Highly recommend if you're in search for something sweet in the middle of the night. They're open 24/7!

Excellent crumb raised & crumb cake
Chas S.

I'm a regular here and though I don't live in the area, work brings me to the SFO area often and Rolling Pin is a mandatory stop. It's 24-7 so always open, there are always customers here so the donuts are fresh, and the staff that work here are efficient and friendly. I don't know if I'm embarrassed or flattered that they recognize me now even though I live an hour away lol I've tried just about everything they have here and would say that the traditional donuts are their best. Think glazed raised, twists, raspberry jelly filled, blueberry cake, maple bars. This is not a donut shop for the "aesthetic" crowd. The donuts in the glass case are brown brown brown. The stranger the flavor, the less delicious. Stick to the basics here and you will leave happy. An order of 6 usually gets you a pink box, good for folks like me who don't like their precious merchandise to get squished until it's in my mouth!

Raspberry jelly donut with chocolate glazed
Jesse Y.

I had a huge craving for donuts and had heard so many good things about rolling pin. The decor and service were cute and friendly. Alas, the donuts were only ok. I had a chocolate raspberry jelly filled donut where the dough was a little heavier than I would have preferred and the jelly was not evenly filled throughout the donut. We also had a chocolate glazed French cruller. The cruller wasn't as fluffy/custardy as I would expect and the oil was a little stale. Chocolate glaze on both donuts were good.

Case of donuts
Hope L.

Rolling Pin has been around forever and is one of the best family owned donut shops in the Bay! They are also open 24 hours which is a huge bonus! We stopped here for a coffee and a donut and got a chocolate covered donut with vanilla custard filling. The custard was thick and creamy and the donut was super moist and soft but had a chewy texture. The coffee was tasty as well! The workers were so nice and were really helpful with explaining the donut options to us. Highly recommend stopping here for donuts!

cookies assortment
Mariele D.

24/7 donut shop with a solid selection! I stopped by for a sweet treat around 10pm and they were still well stocked for the night. I was just coming back from dropping off a friend from the airport and this was 5 minutes away! I got a blueberry cake donut and it was perfect, not too sweet with a good crisp outside and soft inside. Everything else looked tasty but honestly one donut was good enough for the night. Seems like the apple fritters are a hit, theyre literally the size of your face - a couple customers before me also got one for themselves. Might have to come back and try!

Deepthi T.

Rolling pin is a solid donut/pastry spot especially to bring into the office! I love their variety of classic pastry/donuts. I appreciate how big the donuts are and how fresh too! Their glazed is always fluffy and delicious. Today we got a wide variety to share. My favorite is the classic glazed or chocolate glazed. The bear claw is also amazing and bigger than my hand! The folks here are real nice and I love their service. I highly recommend stopping by to grab a box and share

Love love love their crumb donuts, Vietnamese coffee, cronut holes, and custard filled long bars. THE 1 STAR IS STRICTLY FOR ONE OF THEIR EMPLOYEES, ONE OF THE SISTERS: One of the sisters is super sweet & nice, I love when she is working! The other one on the other hand... she is NASTY & responds very rude to customers. I've encountered it several times now trying to let it slide but it's out of hand & hence this long awaited review.... CUSTOMER SERVICE DEFINITELY CAN RUIN A BUSINESS. I'd suggest the business owners have a talk to her about her personality and mood. One time she talked about my elderly father & made him feel bad - he didn't want to come back and said she's mean. Another time I asked her a simple question about a donut and felt like I was being scolded by my mom about frickin donuts! Talk about kill joy... who gets riled up about donuts?! She just is miserable and her negative energy & facial expression exudes - "I hate being here" Contemplating after today's instance of her taking the knife to open the donut box and rudely show me about my donut selection instead of just validating my order, that this is the last time dealing with her nasty attitude. It'll be disappointing if this is my last time supporting this business despite how good their donuts are, but customers shouldn't start their mornings or afternoons with a RUDE & MISERABLE EMPLOYEE, PERIOD. Sending her warmth because she definitely could use some

Inside the shop was a well lit atmosphere to promote the mass consumption of Doughnuts; not bad. The service was just ok, the young person behind the counter didn't know what a Buttermilk bar was though. The selection of donuts that I chose today, were a bit Dry, and they both had some sort of filling in them. Because I just couldn't believe what I had eaten, l returned on a different day and had the same two donuts, they were Nice and Fresh; my bottomline for this location is that it is a Hit or Miss. 3 stars because it's Hit or Miss.

While I was deciding what to order, another customer came in and asked if he could swap out his donuts for all glazed. The employee took the customer's paper bag and poured his donuts straight back into the display tray. That immediately raised red flags! once food has left the counter, there's no way to know how it was handled, and it should never be returned back to the food tray! To make matters worse, after the customer left, I asked the employee how fresh the donuts were. He smiled but didn't give me a direct answer, which was unsettling. Food safety and basic hygiene should be non-negotiable, especially at a high-traffic location near an airport. This experience completely killed my appetite!

Their menu has a ton of options, although there aren't many pictures, so it took us a minute to decide. Thankfully the staff were super friendly and patient. We ordered a dozen Binka Bites in 6 different flavor (Choco Bavarian, Dubai Chocolate, Churro Biscoff, Nutella, Oreo, and Mango Cream), 2 Spam Musubis, and a Chicken Empanada. It was my first time trying Binka Bites and I really enjoyed them. The texture reminds me of a hybrid between mochi and sponge cake, soft, chewy, and not overly sweet. My favorite flavor out of the box was definitely the Nutella. For leftover, I would recommend to microwave them for a 5-8 seconds before eating so it will be soft and warm. The Spam Musubi had a great spam-to-rice ratio imo (very important lol) with decent amount of sauce. Meanwhile, the Chicken Empanada was fresh, hot, and packed with flavorful shredded chicken. Overall, it was a really great first visit. I'm already looking forward to coming back and trying their Mini Adobo Rice with Scrambled Egg next time.

The order and pick-up process could not have been easier. The pick-up location is tucked away on a small street where the parking lot is like an office plaza, with several buildings in it. It looked like a back entrance but you'll see the ramp that leads to the pick-up window. There was no line so I went up, paid, and picked up my donuts all within a couple of minutes. The donuts were a hit with the family! Slightly less sweet compared to Mochinut. A little doughier but the chewy texture is still there. I got the dozen so we could try all the flavors which included: chocolate, matcha, ube coconut, cookie butter with oreo, peaches n' cream, and apple spice caramel. My favorites are peaches n' cream and apple spice caramel with matcha close behind. You can't go wrong with any of them, probably boils down to your taste preferences. I'm definitely returning if they have new flavors or whenever I'm in a mochi donut mood.
