Sweet Desserts for Takeout and Delivery in San Francisco

Dessert delivery? Oh, it’s essential. For all those who are officially bored with beans, and craving something sweet, let’s be honest — if we’re going to get through this thing, we’re going to get through it with cookie dough. Many neighborhood bakeries, donut shops, and ice cream parlors are still open for business, and offering a variety of options for takeout and delivery. From pink boxes of doughnuts to pints of ice cream, here’s how to sugar up while sheltering in place in San Francisco.

Things are changing day by day, so before venturing out, please call ahead or check social media to confirm that the sweet shop you seek is still open for business. If you have a spot to add or see a place that has closed, please drop us a line.
