First time there late last night around 11p. Two glazed jelly filled and 1 glazed old fashioned. Super tasty, kinda wish they had had warm fresh ones available. Maybe next visit!! Small parking lot, but nice that you don't have to park on the street. read more

Certified San Bruno classic, those who grew up here know that this place is irreplaceable. I will take this over any chain donut shop ever. Rolling Pin donuts have been here since forever, the people in the back know everyone that walks in. Parking can be a hassle sometimes when it's busy, but it's worth it. Whether it's for a quick fix or a potluck event, they will always have your back. Classic donut shop with self service coffee and tea, cookies and pastries, an ATM, and the donuts displayed. Two sides: deluxe donuts with all the fancies and then the classic side. The price definitely went up since I was a kid, but can't blame them and it's still worth it. My order: Bakers dozen -- Get the crullers if you're into moist donuts with a different texture, custard and jelly bars can get too sweet for me. Regular dozen -- Ube and green tea were new flavors and they were subtle but moist and delicious! I will always get a crumb and blueberry donut because they're the best. But if you see fresh plain glazed, you HAVE to get them. If you like a crunch, old fashioned never gets old. All donuts are always consistent, they never miss. read more

I love Rolling Pin Donuts. I've been coming since I was a kid and their donuts are always so fresh and delicious. I was really craving a jelly filled donut on a Sunday morning, came by, and got to choose between several selections that they had. I got the raspberry filled glaze donut and it totally hit the spot. We also got a few donut holes for the kids and the staff tossed in an extra one for free. Parking is quite limited though and the streets are narrow so factor in some extra time to find a spot. read more

Donuts made fresh daily! [San Bruno CA] My home church used to be in San Bruno and we always see this donut shop after exiting on San Bruno Ave going towards El Camino Real. We never stopped for donuts. I have been attending that church since the early 80's during my early teens. We've never stopped for donuts and we'd see this shop every Sunday. I was deprived ¯\_('~')_/¯ LoL Got to finally try their donuts when we went to the Bay Area last month. Yes, after living two hours away for over 20 years now I finally stopped by for donuts. Cinnamon rolls are my favorite and I also got a Chocolate glazed for the hubby. So pillowy soft and delicious. Made fresh at 4:00p in the afternoon. They are constantly replenishing their glass case. I believe they are open 24/7. They also have specialty donuts like the Ube and Matcha. This donut shop will fulfill your pastry sweet cravings too -- scones, muffins, Danish, croissants, apple turnovers, cookies, churros, bagels. And not just coffee, their beverages included smoothies, juice, soda, milk, energy drinks and frozen drinks. Can't miss... they have wall murals painted on both sides of their shop. Street parking as well as private parking are available. Friendly service and prices are great! Review #3076 read more

Rollin Pin Donuts on San Bruno Ave is always a good idea at any time of the day or night. For us, we were coming back from having dinner in the city and were craving something sweet. We made our way from North Beach to San Bruno as we were staying in the Peninsula so it was perfect. We pulled in to the parking lot and as expected you have some excited for their choice of donuts customers walking out... and once you walk in? The aroma of donuts will get you. The dough, the sugar, the chocolate and the maple. All of it is great and intoxicating. Ha! I went with 2 glazed old fashioned (my favorite & litmus test for donut shops), 1 glazed buttermilk bar, a matcha cake donut, a sugar twist & a raised crumb donut. The lady at the counter was not having our indecisiveness at that late hour. Oh well, we couldnt make up our minds. It was overwhelming... sheesh. The old fashioned glazed was great. Lots of crunchy nooks & crannies. It was great that night and for breakfast the next morning. My cousins also liked their matcha donut and sugar twist choices. We will most certainly go back again. I'm curious to try the filled donut hole looking things they had. The lady wouldnt really explain when we were there so I'm gonna just call them that. Bright once you walk in, there are so many choices for donuts and also a cookie counter. Drinks are available too. Street parking available but plenty of spaces on their private lot. read more

If I could give this place more stars, I would! This was THE donut place to go growing up! I can still tell the difference between Rolling Pin & others - IYKYK read more

Good donut spot we came by after a hike at Sweeney ridge trail. Large selection of donuts and pastries. Coffee was plentiful and good quality. No seating area though only take to go . Since it was 10am the freshness wasn't there but it was still a good bite Would recommend coming early like at 6/7am Service was nice and helpful as most donut shops Lotta folks coming in and this place gets busy but no long line Prices were a bit higher maybe like a dollar more than other donut shops per donut Good spot overall read more

I don't know why some patrons are giving Rolling Pin anything less than four stars, but this is surely one of the greatest yeast donuts I have ever tasted. The Glaze Raised is on point, the Maples Cakes are fabulous, and the Glaze Twists and French Maples are stupendous! read more

I bought some of their donuts for the very first time and it was delicious. I got the chocolate glazed buttermilk donut and it was really good. It was nice and fresh. The donut was really crunchy and soft in the inside. When you park your car and step out, you can smell that sweet donut aroma. As you walking inside, the smell of donuts smell super good. It's a relatively small shop, but there's a variety of donuts to choose from and they have coffee and milk as beverages to go along with your delicious donut. I will definitely be back very soon to try all the donuts. read more

I went at 5:00am on a Tuesday, when you'd think the donuts would be fresh. But they were not ... they were dry, like day-old donuts would be. Quite disappointing. Maybe they overbaked them, I don't know. Also, the chocolate raised donuts were way too sweet; I had to scrape off most of the glaze. I had not gone to Rolling Pin in several years ... they used to be much better. read more

Never heard of this place, but through a family member who lives close to San Francisco told about Rolling Pin. Service: Friendly, polite. Ambiance: Decorated mural outside, inside coffee station and display case filled with lots of donut kinds and flavors Food: Custard Filled Chocolate Bar - good, light fluffy donut. Though, it wasn't completely filled - on 3/4 of it had custard. read more

Rolling Pin Donuts has been around almost as long as I've been. Love their donut holes especially. You can't make a bad choice here. The atmosphere is very friendly too. Great customer service. read more

Heard about Rolling Pin Donuts and knew had to give it a try. They're located on a busy street and it's easy to pass by. I stopped by after work around 5 pm on a Wednesday And they still had a lot of donuts left. The chocolate and glazed old fashion both were good. I'm sure they would be a lot better fresh in the morning. The filled jelly was tasty and had a decent amount of jelly in it. Really close to the Caltrain station. They charge 4% extra for using card. Will be back to try other flavors but in the morning. Street parking read more

Cinnamon rolls looked fresh but the one I got from back was nasty. I can't speak on the other items. Too many other options to go back here

This donut shop is on the corner with a small limited parking on the lot. We found parking across the street. It was busy around 9am. We bought a dozen donuts with donut holes. They were just okay nothing to rave about. I found them too sweet and not so fresh tasting. read more

We stopped in at Rolling Pin for a snack before heading to the dog park and regrettably, our experience was lacking in almost area. The goods: + Has a parking lot + Coffee is decent, ~ $3 for a large drip The not so great: - Donuts tasted mediocre at best. Not a lot of flavor in anything or at least what we ordered - glazed chocolate cake, blueberry cake, glaze twist, a plain old fashioned, and donut holes - Asked for 6 donut holes and received / charged for a dozen. The donut holes were the only item decent so it kind of worked out, I guess. They do accept credit card and the wait wasn't very long. With several other donut shops in the area, there's better options to choose from over Rolling Pin. read more

Solid donut spot in the heart of downtown San Bruno! This is my go-to spot for donuts for when I go to work. They are a no frills donut shop that serve a variety of donuts and some coffee. They are open 24/7, almost 365. There is a small parking lot that can get filled up in the mornings, but there is also street parking. My go to donuts would be the ube cake donut, matcha cake donut and the apple fritter. Everything is fairly priced and are absolutely delicious. Their apple fritters especially are quite HUGE. They were cash only for a while until fairly recently. They now take card, but there is a small discount if you use cash. Overall, a great place for donuts! Definitely will be coming back. read more

Great doughnuts has a drive thru opens very early even offers Vietnamese coffee which will wake u up on that Monday morning plus lotto play and warm croissants a thumbs way up in my book! read more

When you need some donuts Rolling Pin is the place. There is a small parking area for Rolling Pin or along the street. They have coffee and other baked goods besides donuts. It's a small donut shop with some seating outside. Picked up an array of half dozen donuts. If you need a sugar rush, any of the glazed donuts is the way to go. Service was helpful but they do get busy in the morning. read more

Donuts were decent, nothing special. Low Prices small selection, although their coconut donut must have been their signature item, it was good. The person behind the counter was terrible. Impatient, loud, and rolled their eyes. Not cool! There was nobody else in line but they were still rushing me and getting annoyed when I asked what was what... read more

Really nice shop and convenient hours! read more

A coworker of mine brought a box of donuts from Rolling Pin Donuts into the office-- nice. The design of the box is charming and old-timey, sharing the history and showing the care they put into the brand. Their doughnuts are neat and gorgeous, and they taste as good as they look! I tried their old fashioned doughnuts with the chocolate glaze, and they had everything I wanted: crunchy outside, soft cakey inside, and decent chocolate. read more

Best cinnamon rolls in the bay area hands down. I love the crackling glaze and the moist cinnamon center. Been coming here for over 35 years. The rest of their donuts are amazing as well. Top tier old fashioneds and maple bars. read more

My fiancé and I stopped by for donuts after a long hike and it was amazing! We got a Glazed Old Fashion and Custard Filled Maple Bar. Both were really fresh, super soft, and not overly sweet. I love a good custard filled donut and this one had the perfect amount of custard. The store itself is really clean and you can tell they continuously make their donuts fresh. People were coming in and out during the 10 minutes we were enjoying our donuts in the parking lot, so you can tell it's a local favorite. We both agree that this is our new favorite donut spot in the area and will be coming back again! read more

Rolling Pin Donuts - Maple Bar - Donuts Near Me - San Bruno, California

Charming donut shop near the San Bruno Caltrain. It feels very old school inside. I missed my train so I ran back to the shop to grab some donuts before the next train! They take card but if you pay in cash you get a 4% discount. I tried the maple glazed and the original glazed and though both were tasty! The maple glaze was a bit on the sweeter side but good in small doses. Both donuts were fluffy and fun to chew. The total was $4.06 for both donuts. There is also a small parking lot right next to the donut shop which is nice. read more

Rolling Pins is not the same anymore. Change of ownership ruined the donuts and there's poor service. If you're coming back after years away from the area don't waste your time, donuts are disgusting and overpriced. read more

Old school yummy fresh donuts. This is the place. Ironically, I don't like donuts but my kids and friends do. They love donuts from here. They got convenient parking here. Super awesome location for commuters. Service is fast. Shop is small and slightly dated but they get the job done at their extremely long business hours. If you do have preferences, I would recommend coming here and ordering in person. Placed an order through app before asking for chocolate donuts... delivered a bunch of donuts with only one chocolate.... Disappointing and waste of money. You can make changes in person which is nice. But It doesn't seem that they care much for comments from the food delivery apps. read more

The Banana Bread for $7.95 is horrible It doesn't taste like bananas It' has a Guey texture and a bad aftertaste This bread is not a banana bread read more

A fan favorite among coworkers and the office! I'm embraced to say that I thought the 'rolling pin' branded donut boxes were generic ones (like some pizza boxes), but am glad I know they come from the actual shop, because now I know where to go for some of the best donuts around! They have a great variety, fast service, and good ambiance. Highly recommended! read more

Rolling Pin Donuts is a small shop, but they sure as hell know how to make a fantastic Apple Fritter Donut! The Apple Fritter had a thin, crispy exterior and a soft, pillowy bread interior. The apple filling had a soft chew and pleasant notes of cinnamon. The sweetness of the donut came mainly from the glaze, which was just enough so that you can enjoy the other parts of the donut. I was pleasantly surprised at how good the donut was. The shop is unassuming on the outside, but I ended up having one of my favorite donut eating experiences. Pull up!!!!! read more

While Bob's Donuts has long garnered the attention of Bay Area residents those South of the city have Rolling Pin, hours from 4am until 2pm daily finding the San Bruno venue baking and frying a wide variety early until noon to keep up with demand. Building a fervent following across fifty years, every Donut or Cookie made on-site, it is in exchange for cash-only that patrons receive items boxed by courteous staff-members, the first bites of a simple Yeast-raised ring fluffy like Brioche and surprisingly still warm. Old fashioned in terms of design, taste and pricing, only an Ube Cake Donut much different from what guests might have seen in the 70's, Rolling Pin's Cruller features an eggy-soft center beneath just a bit of chew while the Apple Fritter features a good rise and almost no grease supporting pockets of Cinnamon and Fruit. All wood panels around glass cases, the sort of spot one would assume knows their way around classics, don't miss the Old Fashioned cogwheel plain or glazed, nor a Buttermilk Bar whose frying time, temperature and penetrating Glaze are nothing short of perfect. read more

3.5 stars for the apple fritter 4 stars to Rolling Pin for their variety, hours and taste of the other doughnuts. I'm on the hunt for the best apple fritter whose attributes include being not too heavy, a plentiful portion of apples, balance of cinnamon and glaze. Not asking too much right! As I picked at the fritter while driving home, I got the crispness of the edges but no apples. When I started into the middle, no apples and lacking, in my preference, in the cinnamon taste. When I got home, I sliced it open and there was a layer of apples in the middle. I didn't finish the fritter because it didn't make me eager for more at this point. I'm a fan of Rolling Pin doughnuts, just not the fritter for me. Support this awesome local gem. read more

I was in the area and decided to stop by here since they were open very early on a Sunday. They have a small parking lot but if you go at 6am there will be parking. They had a big selection of doughnuts and cookies. They had a lot of coffee to pick from. The service was fast and they were very nice. It's a grab and go so you can't stay here and eat. The coffee was unfortunately not that good but doughnuts are definitely worth going. Overall good stop if you're in the area. read more

This place is an institution! I've been coming here for years and the reason I keep coming back is the best donuts you can find and you can get them anytime since they are open 24 hours. They have sugar cookies, glazed donuts, apple fritters, cake donuts, jelly filled donuts, maple logs, cinnamon rolls, cookies, croissants and bagels. This is your traditional donut place, not your fancy smanshy artisan, gluten free donut. You get donuts for less than $3 dollars. They even have a coffee and tea station so you can get good donuts and fresh coffee. Get one or get a dozen whatever happens you will leave with a smile and a pep in your step! Pure yum and delicious joy every time I come out of this place! read more
