Bob's Donuts

"Bob’s...was the first SF doughnut  shop I visited and it’s still a classic. And I go classic on the ordering front, too — a cake donut instead of raised because I like ’em dense." -Amanda Gold Read more

Omg, this place is to die for. Not your average donut shop . Donuts are freshly made , soft, crispy and tasty. The cider-looking donut and chocolate covered ones are amazing! Get a cup of milk too!

The Pandowdy, an apple pie cake type thing with donuts and crunchy apples is rich and filling, though your $3 is better spent on a fresh fritter . If you do the get Pandowdy, microwave it for 40 secs.

Bob's provides 24-hour service to the denizens of Polk. All their donuts are great, but the apple fritter , perfectly crisp-soft and laced with plenty of cinnamon and tender apples , is a standout. Read more

These no-frills, all-flavor doughnuts are made fresh every day and attract pastry enthusiasts who are looking for a no-nonsense fried dough experience. Read more

No-frills 24-hour donut shop serving basically perfect versions of classic donut and pastry styles (old fashioned , cake , raised, apple fritter , danish , etc.).

Most amazing donuts ever! Every flavor is good but ask for the freshest donut because those are the BEST

The ham and cheese croissants and cinnamon twists are delicious. They always have customers coming in to buy their delicious treats. And they are open 24 hours except on certain major holidays.

Amazing donuts ! The buttermilk have a perfect crunch on the outside and are fluffy goodness on the inside. For the freshest donuts go late night (~1am) or early afternoon (~2pm).

A few of my favorites include the old fashion and cinnamon donut . Get there early in the morning or late at night for the freshest batches - it's open 24/7!

Loved!! The raised maple was the fluffiest donut I’ve ever had. The apple fritter didn’t disappoint, either. If you’re in the area, this is a must try!!!

We tried five of them and the maple won, hands down. The apple fritter came in a close second, though. These were some of the best donuts we've ever had!

Glazed, Crumb, and Apple Cider were all amazing — and a highly affordable dozen considering how delicious they were

Best donuts in town ! Love Bob's! Make sure you go early because the best will be gone before 11am. This is an old fashioned donut shop , don't look for fancy , look for delicious!

Read and found it has 1 of the best donuts . I must say I'm not disappointed at all. The Crump Donuts are crispy and nice! Highly recommend.

If I could rent a chair here, I would. This is basically my second home late at night. Open 24/7, the chocolate donuts are DE-LI-CIOUSSSS and the guy behind the counter is so friendly !

Definitely worth a 5am trip! The dough is perfect. Their maple glaze is amazing. I wasn’t a fan of the traditional donut , the fritter is worth a try!

Eating a hot, freshly glazed donut from this place is like being kissed gently by a warm, sugary angel from Heaven.

If you can eat one of their ginormous donuts in under 3 minutes, they’ll let you have it for free and put your photo up on their wall of shame.

"There are lots of fancier places, but if you can get the glazed doughnuts still warm they have little equal." -Michael Bauer Read more

There's nothing quite like a fresh out of the fryer donut or apple fritter at Bob's after bar hopping on Polk. They are ridiculously good & extremely cheap . Read all about it on WinstonWanders below! Read more

Love this place! A donut for $1 incl tax - and they are delicious. even got a warm one made minutes ago. And they sell milk too ;-)

I’ve been to bougie donut places but they really don’t compare to this. No frills but melt-in-your-mouth donuts that I now crave all the time 😅

Love the convenience having a donut shop nearby. When in need of a quick bite on the run? Bob’s Donuts got you covered. Friendly staff and good service . Dine-in unavailable.

Fresh donuts late at night… people lined up outside at 2 AM like it's a nightclub ! They have giant raised donuts as big as your head also!

Incredible donuts . Great range. I had the original glazed and it was perfect. Reasonably priced too, I got 4 for $5.75

Everyone raves about apple fritters , but anything right out of the oil is great (especially French curlers). People come for donuts , but the pastries are great when it comes out fresh (around 11pm).

Sometimes they make a powdered sugar raised donut , which is not to be missed. Also, donut holes (made from the same raised dough ) are great for portion control.

Hot Apple fritters are 💯 I only recommend getting hot donuts here. Donuts that have been sitting out a while aren’t as good.

Grab a whole dozen and grub away! Don't forget the milk !

Best crumb donuts !

Best old fashioned diner-style donuts in the city . Period. The raised buttermilk are particular standouts, but the apple fritter is also rightfully popular.

Bob's is one of our favourite places in San Francisco! Their donuts are delicious, and their coffee is good, and cheap ! This is one of the best places to fill a late night craving.

We got the crumb donut and maple bars . Both were excellent. Soft delicious dough !

These are some goodass donuts ! They make them fresh, and when its hot, the donut just melts in your mouth. Get the apple fritters

SF Legend. Ask for whatever is the freshest and warmest. Great any hour of the day or night!

Get the apple fritter and the buttermilk bar w a side of maple old fashioned and a crumb donut

Donuts are delicious and always fresh. Worth the wait.

Wow! So many amazing donut flavors!! Every one we tried was incredible! Lived up to the hype for sure!

The filled doughnut was very good. Ask what the freshest doughnut is when you visit and I'm sure it'll be amazing.

Love the maple donuts . Great late night snack . Their giant donuts are also legitimately good - not just a novelty.

If you go at night, ask for whatever is hot. The apple fritter is amazing, but they're all delicious when warm!

Get an apple fritter and a plain glazed at 1 AM. Don't hold up the line . Enjoy.

Get the glazed donut and/or the maple (cake ) donut .

Smells like heaven. Just get your favorite kind it will be good. Don't neglect the apple fritter

The chocolate and maple donuts were great. Get whatever is fresh.

I traveled all the way from Australia for what I was hearing to be the best donuts in the bay ... guys, these are the best bloody donuts in the world! maple buttermilk bar for the win!

There's always donuts so fresh the buttery goodness inside is still gooey and chocolate icing on top is still runny. Best donut I've ever had!

Tip@of@the night- we taste better than donuts ! Put us to the test!

Best donut for $1.50 what else do you need to make you happy?
