    Good coffee good donuts - not great for working, they don't allow laptops. Service was friendly and quick!

    Another coffee movement spot in the city, you already know they serve quality coffee. They have multiple locations, but this time I decided to switch it up with a donut and their coffee soft serve. I was so excited to try the soft serve, you can really appreciate the coffee flavor, and the texture was creamy and smooth. I'd probably skip the donut next time, it wasn't anything special. The chocolate topping was a little too dark for my taste, and the dough itself was dense. I love the vibe of this coffee shop with all the vinyl records playing in the background. The service was friendly, too. Just a heads-up: parking in this neighborhood can be tricky, and no laptops are allowed, so it's definitely not a study spot. But perfect for meeting up with friends over coffee.

    Summary: Coffee! Soft serve! Coffee soft serve! Details: If we're being honest, my experiences with TCM have been pretty inconsistent, with the main reason for this being the fact that they rotate their coffee offerings every so often, sometimes to options that we just have not enjoyed at all, be it due to the roaster, or not having dialed it in a way that we've enjoyed. Which, honestly, is probably something you'll run into at any coffee shop that regularly changes out their menu, so take that as you will. What's special about this particular location is that they also offer coffee soft serve and donuts, in addition to their coffee selection, which is something I've been craving ever since having it as Mametora in Tokyo! And while not as good as what I had in Japan, mostly due to it being too sweet, it's a nice option to have when I'm craving a rich, coffee-forward dessert. Better yet, do what Mametora does and serve it up as a float with some black coffee / espresso to balance it out. Accessibility: Smaller space, with some accessible two top seating inside and outside. The main counter where you order is standard bar height though, so there may be a bit of height difficulty there.

    I'm SO happy to have Coffee Movement in the Mission. It's one of my favorite coffeeshops in SF, so it's so nice to have a location in the neighborhood! This space is well decorated with lots of record players, and I loved the music they had playing. There was also a good amount of seating. I came in on a Thursday morning around 10am and there was no line! The baristas were super friendly and quick in making my drink. I went with the Vanilla Lavender Latte, which had a fantastic flavor without tasting too sweet or artificial. It is still of the same quality that I love from their other locations. I will need to be back sometime to try their donuts and soft serve (and check out Side A)! Otherwise, my only complaint is how limited their hours are. :')

    I've been a longtime Coffee Movement fan so I was happy to finally visit the new spot! My order inadvertently turned out to be a little citrus pairing, with the orange cream latte (a seasonal item that I always look for) as well as a lemon donut (literally fresh out of the fryer and all pillowy and bouncy). Also appreciated the vinyl bar/side a space and the contrast of industrial/metal vs. organic/floral elements! What a lovely place for a slow morning :")

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.

Parking is super easy around the area, which is a rarity in SF. 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!

I wasn't sure if the one in Mill Valley was the same/related until I saw the logo. Yes! So we stopped in around 4pm. I bought 4 donuts. Got into the car and my kid is like... WHY ARE THEY ALL COLD?? Weird. I've had bad donuts but never ever have I gotten a cold donut from a donut shop. Like the texture and temperature is what you'd expect from a donut you just pulled out of the refrigerator. We ate all four donuts anyway cuz donuts and hungry. But we won't be back. And if you're unsure, don't waste your time or money. Unless of course you like cold donuts. Or maybe call ahead to ask first. I dunno. I'm just confused why they were cold. There was a steady stream of customers at that time too.

I have read about Grand Mission Donuts & Bakery recently and frequently get my Lattes from Linea, one bock away. I went this morning around 9:30am and there was a short line (4 in front of me) but the petite Asian lady was by herself behind the counter BUT was very friendly and efficient/fast! With 4 people in front when I arrived, I only had to wait a few minutes (3-4) before it was my turn. It is a very small place with limited seating but the glass case where the donuts, pastries were displayed was very neat, tidy and CLEAN! I asked for a a Apple Fritter but she was apologetic and said they were already sold out :( I saw bear claws (one of my favorite pastry!) and got one try as very few donut shops make them or make them well. I really like it!! It had a toasted almonds on top, was a large in size and had a nice light crunch on the outside and the filling had the right amount, not too much or too little. I especially liked that it was but greasy or oily. I highly recommend Grand Mission Donuts & Bakery and can't wait to try the Apple Fritter next time!!

The person who helped me was very friendly and patient. He explained what the day's choices were and what his favorites were. I bought two donuts and was shocked at how expensive they were! Oh well, it was a reward for walking all the way over there. The vanilla glazed old fashioned was delicious! The spices were perfect. I would recommend eating it all on the same day because they lose their integrity the next day. I also tried the crodough the next day and wished I had tried it the first day.
