Yes, these mini doughnuts require an excursion to Pier 39, but it’s well worth the trip for a bag (okay, fine: a bucket) of these sweet, airy mini doughnuts. Sure, they taste more like a churro than a traditional doughnut, but that won’t stop you from popping them in your mouth at an astonishing and incredibly satisfying rate.

This Nob Hill spot is always open, which means you can satisfy your doughnut craving at 2 p.m. or 2 a.m. Just know there’s a good chance there will be a line no matter what. Bob’s is the place you go for a high-quality classic doughnut (and an apple fritter if you can get one before they sell out). It’s also the place you go if you want to eat a glazed doughnut the size of your head. There’s a second location on Baker Street, although that one closes by 9 p.m.

Located inside both the Japan Center and Stonestown Galleria, Mochill is a small window where mochi doughnut lovers grab boxes to go. Unlike the pastries at Third Culture Bakery in Berkeley, which are more dense and doughy, these rings are crisp and light. Colors and flavors rotate, but highlights include black sesame, matcha tea, Fruity Pebbles, and crushed Oreo cookies.

Hahdough chef and owner Ha Do was born in Vietnam and raised in Germany, perhaps one of the reasons Deutschland ex-pats rank her Berliner donuts as some of the most legit around. With rotating fillings like vanilla cream, Nutella, and house-made jams, the Berliners also appeal to folks who don’t give a fig about Germany and just love great doughnuts.

Look, yes, Milkbomb is for the most part an ice cream shop. But! A case can be made for including Milkbomb’s ice cream sandwich on this list, given that it’s tasty ice cream sandwiched between just-as-tasty doughnut halves. Get it with some torched marshmallows on top, and it’s hot weather ice cream (and doughnut) perfection.

This hole-in-the-wall doughnut shop does all the classics well, from puffy sugar doughnuts to chocolate-covered old fashioneds to bar doughnuts covered in maple glaze. But what this shop also does well is bake a number of Chinese baked goods, including pineapple buns and coconut buns. No doubt if you bring a variety of doughnuts and pastries into work from Grand, you’ll be the new office hero.

During the week, the husband and wife team behind Twisted Donuts & Coffee roll out freshly baked trays of glazed old-fashioneds, bear claws, and apple fritters. But on the weekends, this doughnut shop shows off its “twisted” side, revealing an ulterior menu filled with experimental flavors like “Nutty Monkey,” “Baconpeno,” and “Milky Way Under A-Salt.” The shop has also added in a variety of mochi donuts, if you’re in the mood. Pair these pastries with iced coffee, which is served with coffee ice cubes.

Dynamo is best known for its Maple Bacon Apple doughnut, but Sara Spearin’s unique and refined flavor pairings make all of Dynamo’s light, chewy (in a good way) handmade doughnuts worth a special trip to their storefront in the Mission or kiosk in the Marina. Other favorites include the caramel de sel, chocolate rose, and passionfruit milk chocolate. (Or, just: all of them.)

It’s hard NOT to be happy when eating a doughnut, especially if it’s a raised glazed from Happy Donuts. Open 24 hours a day, Happy Donuts is a traditional shop that serves the melt-in-your mouth classics you remember from childhood.
