This CT Girl Loves Bobs Donuts: While studying in college in San Francisco, I was fortunate enough to live only 2 short blocks away from Bob's Donuts. Thank God San Fran has all those hills, because I would've gained many many pounds. I am from Connecticut and have tried many yummy east-coast fatty donuts and other fried varieties. But, ...

I think the best donuts and family fun are at the Tulip pastry shop Portland Oregon. Family owned 65 years, all own receipes!

In Marin, its Larkspur's "Donut Alley" ( just off Magnolia St. downtown) where you will find THE BEST, the very best donuts around. If GOD wanted a donut, He'd forget about Bob's and truck on down the alley to Bill's place.

This place is heaven on earth. The chocolate chunk cookies are my favorite. Great service, friendly, fast and everything is fresh. Love it!

Cheese Danish, maple cake. Lively atmosphere after a show @ The Red Devil Lounge. Third shift is the best shift. I have directed many a traveler to Bob's and would not suggest another. Simply put, Bob's is #1.

In the 1950s when I was a teenager, Bob's Donut Shop (no Pastry Shop then) was one of the places that we all hung out. No matter what time you went in, you always ran into your friends. Could spend hours there drinking a coke, listening to the jukebox (5 cents then) and playing "the pins" (pinball machine). Such fond memories of ...

In the summer of 1950 (I am eighty now) I was going to UC Berkeley and I ran across a donut I had never seen before and I have never found since, although I have asked about it many times. It was a raised-dough chocolate--the dough itself was chocolate-- doughnut with chocolate frosting. It was not a cake doughnut. The shop was down Telegraph Ave., ...

This place is my #1 Donut shop in the whole Bay Area. It's owned and ran by the japanese owners. They are extremely nice and helpful, even though sometimes they have to put up with a lot of "rift raft".
This place is better than any of the chucks donuts or happy donuts in the peninsula. Rolling Pins donut shop in san bruno is a close 2nd, with their famous glazed chocolate donut.

We live in Oklahoma, but our daughter lives in SF. Whenever we visit SF, Bob's Donuts is one of the first places we go. We usually visit twice a year and the clerk always remembers us and even knows that I will order an apple fritter and brings it to me automatically. What a place. It is a must visit in San Francisco.
