Enjoyed the donuts, a good variety. They also have breakfast and sandwiches. Unfortunately, there was no seating available.

Donuts were extremely sweet. The filling was extremely sweet as well. I didn’t enjoy it all…

Stopped here in the morning on the way into Golden Gate Park after hopping off the N on the same block. Had a short wait as it seemed to be a popular place. Got a maple old fashion donut and a cinnamon roll. Both were delicious and made a great snack for the walk into the park!

Classic, no frills donut shop. I bought 2 old fashioned, plain, normal donuts and a rectangular shaped old fashioned donut (no fillings, glaze, flavor etc) and my 3 donuts ran me $5.35 which seemed really high? I used to be able to get a donut for under a dollar here and now its over $1.75 per donut.The donuts taste fresh and are fluffy. If your order is under $7 and you dont have cash, theres a credit card surcharge, but there is an ATM inside so that you can pay with cash. The building is really cute and vintage

This is the Cutest stop for Fresh Doughnuts. Super 🤩Delicious, the service is great and very quick. They do have a charge if you want to pay with Card or Wirelessly so take cash.

These might be the SOFTEST. MOST FRESHEST, YUMMIEST donuts ive ever had. I recomend the rasberry donut holes. And berry round. So so good. The workers were patient and friendly. I felt welcome and enjoyed a few laughs ..thank you

Dependable local donut shop without crazy SF prices. Nothing fancy, which is why we keep going back.

Donuts are my favorite treat! I usually go to Bobs in the city. . .but Donut World is my new found treasure! Specifically, I love their glazed twist donut and Hazelnut Coffee! If youre looking to treat yourself and support a small community business, you should definitely stop by Donut World!

Fresh, quality donuts made every morning. This isnt any fancy donut shop. This is a locally owned spot where you can find an old man sitting with the paper drinking a copy of coffee.Has a good selection of all of the donuts you would expect to find at a shop and are reasonably priced.

Ive been coming here for years. The donuts are made on site and if youve never had a hot, chocolate bar filled with custard, this is the place to do it. It melts in your mouth.

Tasty donuts though not a lot of different flavors

This place really surprised me. It doesnt look like much, but Im glad I ventured in one day. The donuts are fresh and relatively cheap, and their apple fritters are on point. They are cash-only, so watch out for that, but the service is fast and the pastries are awesome.

Dropped by here around 9 pm on a Saturday night - the apple fritters came warm from the back of the store and were amazing. Highly recommend this quaint little mom and pop donut shop!

Solid local doughnut shop. Their glazed doughnuts are amazing and our little one loves the sprinkles ones. Wish their jelly doughnuts weren’t jelly-filled glazed doughnuts, but we’ll just stick to the other doughnuts instead.

Fantastic donuts! reasonably priced. Tasty, and stayed fresh. We bought a dozen before leaving SF to drive back to Ohio. Next morning what was left was still fresh. Will definitely return next time in SF.

Delicious freshly made real donuts at a fair price. Not that overly airy chain brand stuff. Friendly mom and pop operation, clean and orderly. Donuts have a generous amount of icing. They also have coffee, tea, sodas and sandwiches.

You can tell the donuts here made with love and care. Im impressed. Especially for the neighborhood, the style of the place, and the look of the product. I frankly was expecting just a regular donuts, but theres something above par here.

Good donuts, but kind of pricey for the quality. Not as good as Johnnys on Gough.

Yesterday, I crashed my bike on the Muni tracks in front of Donut World. As I was catching my breath and dusting myself off, a Donut World employee came outside and handed me a Band-Aid. (I am sure they see cyclists crash here all the time). I was touched by the kind gesture. I am now a Donut World loyalist!

Need to grab a donut before youre 6 am shift?!? Well if you work at the near by UCSF location then this may be the case...and if so this is where youll stop. Ive been here several times and the donuts are consistently pleasing. Are they the most amazing donuts that Ive ever had? No, but they are simple and fairly priced. You can get a simple donut for $0.95 and something more fancy like an apple fritter for about $1.95. Ive gotten a couple dozen and brought them into work. They are open 24 hours and are cash only, but have an ATM in case you forget your cash.The decor is simple with a couple tables and chairs. They offer coffee, sodas, milk and other assorted beverages. Ive only ever purchased their donuts. I will definitely be back!

This family owned donut shop is a neighborhood gem. The lady and her sons bake fresh donuts and pastries daily. They always provide freshness and are reasonably priced. I recommend to support your small businesses owner if you are in the Sunset District.

Review №40

The glazed donuts are perfect. All their muffins are very tasty. The apple fritters are pretty heavy. Staff is very friendly and I like supporting them. The place itself really needs a Fresh coat of paint and a makeover. Might be too much of a dive for some.

Staff is always nice even when they have a full house. really nothing but great experiences here, so i will be back. they have a lot of great reviews for a reason.

Big selection & tasty donuts. Tried the buttermilk bar and apple fritter. They were on the light (non-dense) & sweet end of the spectrum, and given that they were very, very large donuts by the end they were almost too sweet (and Im a sugar fiend). But overall a good spot to stop in for a donut.

Donut world is just what it sounds like, tons of donuts. Also its open 24 hours! Awesome. They have all sorts of donuts at stupidly cheap prices! Our fav is still donut holes. 6 holes for $1. Cant beat that. Great family owned place. Would highly recommend it if youre in the mood and near by.

Review №59

Hidden gem. They do the basics extremely well. Old Fashions, bear claws, simple glaze, its all extremely solid. They dont go over the top with any super creative doughnuts which I enjoy. Coffee isnt anything to write home about but they do have some other drink options like milk. The veteran play is to hop off the N, grab a doughnut, then catch the next N. A dozen is cheap too. Grab some for Co-workers on your way in.

Wanted to fall in love with this place ( i mean ... with a name like donut world, youre really pumping yourself up) ... but bbn I thought the donuts were mediocre, and the selection was average. Still a good donut, just not go out of your way to get them fantastic.

I grew up with Rolling Pin donuts in San Bruno,and hadnt tasted anything like it since I moved an hour north. Nothing was giving me the nostalgic feeling. But then, I came here because I needed my sprinkle donut fix. Stepped in,and all the sudden the aroma brought me back,then I get home for the moment of truth. Looks like Ill be making the drive for these. Keep up the good work! You have no idea how happy these donuts make me!
