Twisted Donuts & Coffee

Really liked the selection and the staff honestly seemed concerned with provided good recommendations based off our preferences. I had the lemon/blueberry and coconut cake donuts while my friend got two vegan donuts. Went great with home roasters across the street and tasted super fresh. Very pleased!

Trying to support local businesses during this time. I’ve tried their guava coconut donuts (weekends only) as well as their vegan guava and vegan lemon (pictured here). They are all really good. But if the vegan guava tastes this good, I don’t think I will go back to getting non-vegan donuts. I always get a small hazelnut coffee with cream/sugar and it is always made with the perfect amount of cream/sugar/coffee ratio. They have contactless payment as well and I believe you can order ahead.

I’ve been going here for a while and I just realized I’ve never left a review! This place is amazing! The donuts are great and the coffee is always delicious, they are accommodating for people with allergies and dietary restrictions, they have donuts that are unique and the staff is always friendly even early in the mornings. I recommend this place to everyone I meet who’s in the city and even visiting, I love that it’s close to school and home and I hope they expand so other people can get a glimpse at this great place.

This place is really legit. You will pay a bit more but unlike most other donut places in SF you will not feel awful eating at Twisted Donuts. The owner was telling me they use a different type of oil for frying and also change the oil much more frequently than typical and cheaper places. Definitely worth the extra few cents and have a great variety of traditional and hipster donuts.

I haven't been here for many years ever since I moved out of San Francisco. The guy who helped me was super nice by throwing in a free old fashioned donut with my order for my favorite maple bacon donuts! Reminded me of the older couple who always gave me some free donut holes. Twisted donut is a must stop if you're in the area and help support local businesses!

The doughnuts here are so creative and just make you happy. They do have a small selection of stuffed croissants in the morning, but they sell out fast Turkey, Jalapeno with cheddar is a favorite.

Really, really good donuts! They get the "cake" part of the donut just right. Light and dense at the same time, without all the oil that makes other donuts too heavy or greasy. We went there for the first time on a whim but will definitely be coming back intentionally often for our donut fix. And the service is wonderful too!

It's surprisingly hard to find good vegan / dairy free donuts in SF. This place has a selection and they are fantastic. Not overly sweet, soft inside and a bit crispy outside. Sometimes I feel a little off after eating fried food but these things felt decently healthy. I mean, it's still a donut, but maybe they use good oil or other ingredients. I brought them to a party and my friend said they were "gourmet". Hope these folks sell a lot of them and have success.

Best donuts I’ve had in the city so far: not too sweet, not too dense, just perfect. Lots of great choices, delicious donuts, super friendly staff, and surprisingly good espresso - what more can you want from a donut place??

This is a really nice cozy donut shop. I’ve been to quite few few donuts and this is definitely up there for how they are made. My daughter had this blueberry one and I had the cinnamon croissant. Both were great!

Friendly and fast service. They accommodated a special order that I requested over email for two jumbo donuts for my son’s birthday and they turned out great! My son loved it! I also ordered an assortment, fresh and yummy.

One of the best donuts I’ve ever had. I got the vegan guava frosted cake donut and shared it with my husband (who never likes donuts) and he said it was the best, most refreshing donut he’s ever had. The jalapeño cheese croissant was amazing. The plain croissant was amazing too. It was so fresh and buttery. The employees were also so friendly and attentive. All around I would definitely recommend this place to everyone.

Donuts here are delicious and local! I especially like the maple old fashioned and apple fritters. On weekends there may be more special donuts like maple bacon, s'mores, etc. The staff is quite friendly. Just be sure to get here before the closing time!

Guava icing was delicious! Would come back again!

I was getting some car repairs and walked over to have a grab a coffee and it was super clean and inviting .The front counter guy and staff are super nice super the donuts tasted so fresh and good. It was such a good atmosphere I enjoyed my coffee and donut while I waited…thank you A MUST TRY!!

Great customer service! Had the opportunity to meet Jenny. Great customer service skills and very personal. I'm retired from HSBC Bank and was VP of Commercial/Residential lending. Had 350 employees, 10 Managers, 4 District Managers. The reason I mention this ,customer service was our number 1 priority. It's very difficulty to find good employees with excellent customer service skills.Donuts are exceptional and especially the Warriors Donuts. I'm a season ticket holder and I love the concept of a Golden State Warrior donuts. Twisted Donuts & Coffee is very fortunate to have an employee like Jenny. She is definitely an asset to the donut shop and I hope she gets recognized by the owners at the next staff meeting.

Classic donuthouse with array of delicious classics (bear claws, fritters, old fashioned) along with modern offerings (mochi and vegan). Coffee is strong but they do have oat milk and almond milk options. Plenty of street parking!

Been wanting to try at this place for a while and I’m so glad I did. They have a couple of vegan options available daily! The guava doughnut was delicious and is one of my favourite doughnuts now, it has the right balance of sweetness and softness/chewiness, the cinnamon one was pretty good as well. Will be back to try other flavors. Friendly staff too!

The donut was really good, but if you want to get the mochi style, it is only serve on Friday to Sunday. Also need to spend over five then you can use credit card, otherwise you should use the cash.

Have been getting coffee and donuts from Twisted since they started. Great food. Even better people working there. Always helpful and friendly. The owners Paul and Joyce are the best. Awesome place. Great donuts like their maple bacon. And outstanding specialty donuts like the PB&J or the Fruitirito! My wife love their cream puffs!

Great quality. The blueberry donut reminds me of jiffy blueberry muffins in the best way. Strawberry is a go-to as well.

This place is donut heaven. Clean workplace and great costumer service. They have all kinds of donuts and all of them taste delicious. This is a great option if you like mochi donuts and your friends don't. I have to admit that I ended up in this place because I was going to get coffee across the street but the place was closed. Im glad that happened! I have to say that the coffee is not the best(not bad tho) but as you noticed the main thing about the place are the donuts. I'll be coming back to get more dozens of donuts specially the filled ones everything was very yummy and fresh.😋 Support local come here, you won't regret it.

The guys behind the counter are great! The guava vegan donut was everything for me. So perfect. Texture of the donut and the barely starting to crisp icing that is sweet and the perfect amount of guava flavor and a snip of citrus perfection. I couldn't get a photo of it uneaten, too delicious.

The staff here is amazingly friendly. I loved Jenny! Smiles and good energy. The donuts are amazing. Whenever I visit a new place, I find legit donuts. These donuts are legit; both the raised and the cake kind!

What a super yummy donut place! If you never try Mochi donuts yet. This is the place to try them out. I love their ube Mochi donuts, they are so light but at the same time so flavorful. They are also not too sweet. By the way, their cream puffs are super super delicious as well. You have to check out this donut spot!

Went from Spain to sf in a happy trip and always loved to breakfast here. Ambience was fascinating and donuts were always incredibly delicious.

They have the most fresh and fluffy donuts. And very diverse flavors ( from bacon to raspberry, lemon, blueberry). For a long time our favorite was raspberry one, but now they have guava one, which is very easy and low sugar one. Just get in there before 11:30 if you want to get some flavor, because they make certain quantity and run out by then.

Twisted Donuts is the perfect addition to our little Sunset neighborhood. it is tucked conveniently off of 19th Ave and basically within walking or rolling distance of the bus. no Ada parking but it is a very high traffic area, so people are coming and going all the time, if you need a parking space. the donuts are top-notch and I don't know if things have changed but it seems like when they started, they basically made donuts twice a day and when they run out they close. so if you want your Maple donut with bacon 🍩 🥓🥓🥓 on top (yum yum omnomnom) then get there early they also have🍥 mini cream puffs that are quite delightful and the donut holes ⚫ are way too easy to pop in your mouth and just keep popping! I almost deducted a star for the extra price of the maple bacon donut but thought better of it when I realized that I wasn't going to buy a maple donut bring it home, make some bacon, and put bacon on my donut myself, so yeah this place is making the best hipster Donuts in the sunset at reasonable prices and it is a family-friendly place! the staff is always very sweet and accommodating. 🍩✌🏽✨🤯🧞‍♂️💯⭐💣

Great neighborhood place that has tasty, and imaginative pastries.

This is the best donut shop in SF. Come on you know you love Dunkin Donuts and Pizza. This place has the best donut I ever had. A bacon covered caramel donut. Enjoy honey!

Cute donut shop with flavors and techniques of donut making that truly make them stand out! They are home to the 'mochi donut' which is very good, and advertize unique flavors of donut as well as vegan options. Though the prices are a little high for me, I do realize the area is pretty ritzy itself, so it is to be expected. Just a fair warning to those visiting from out of town and might have a smaller budget, like myself. Overall, nice little spot and I will pop in next time I'm in the bay during breakfast. :]

Stumbled upon this shop and so happy I did. Paul is super friendly and kind, made me and my friend feel welcomed. He takes a lot of pride in his donuts which is amazing! kind enough to answer all our random questions and gave us tips on our SF stay. I got a coffee, Turkey cheese croissant and the lemon blueberry donut which was really good! Highly recommend this place :)

I'm a donut connoisseur and this place is above average. They do some creative versions of donuts but that's not a fool proof way to impress me. I'm a man of perfecting the basics, then building off that foundation. I think they need to do the basics better to be a 5 star spot. I'll admit the place is clean, coffee was fresh, and the staff are all super friendly. Try it for yourself.

Solid donuts and great selection. Very pleasant guys working here serving some tasty donuts. Took home a dozen for the family. Simple glazed "raised" donuts are classic and perfectly executed, light, fluffy, sugary goodness. Blueberry buttermilk bar was one of the best buttermilk bars I've had. Maple glazed and maple glazed with bacon were both good, but I've had other bacon donuts with better bacon (either bits of bacon or candied which took the treat to another level, so probably wouldn't get the maple bacon again unless they changed it up). Two other specialty donuts for the day were the churro filled with dulce de leche, which was fantastic and croissant donuts that were decent with a croissant butteriness but glazed with donut style glaze; these were good but a little denser than lite and flaky croissants. Again, this is a solid donut shop with great options, delicious donuts and a pleasant team.

I’m sad to say that the donuts on Thursday morning were disappointing. And I wish I didn’t have to leave anything less than 5 stars. See photo attached. The apple fritter was okay, not my favorite. The two filled donuts (raspberry and blueberry) were just okay. It tasted like one of the boxed “pies” you bought at a Safeway store. Nothing thrilled me about this. The maple glazed donut was also just okay, no great takeaways from this item. The only donut I recommend out of what I got was the blueberry donut with lemon glaze (this was very delicious!) Great customer service, fast service and the employees seem to care about providing this kind of service. Maybe it just takes me coming in a second time to appreciate what they have and perhaps I just didn’t get a fresh batch that morning. Not a huge selection but in the photo, it does look rather delicious. I probably won’t be back, and likely won’t recommend this to others unless it’s your closest option.

I'm glad Twisted Coffee and Donuts is not near my 🏠. Otherwise, it would be hard for me from going several times a week! I ordered a few donut and a cream puff. The cream puff w/ Bavarian cream was very delicious! The coconut 🥥raised Guava was my favorite and is offered only on the weekends. As a matter of fact, I don't remember ever eating a Guava flavored donut anywhere else! I pre-ordered on their website online and they text you once it is ready at your specified time for pick up. Social distancing enforced w/ 2 person inside. Hand sanitizers available. Moderate difficulty with street parking.

Donuts: 4/5 Service: 5/5 Ambiance: 3/5 Overall: A good option for some more unique flavors. Yummy! The extended review... Donuts: Churro De Leche - 4/5 - This was a very interesting selection. A donut with cinnamon sugar and sliced in half with some dolce spread in between the two halves. A nice rendition of a churro for sure. Lemon Blueberry Buttermilk - 4/5 - Can’t go wrong with a nice buttermilk. It had a nice crispy exterior and soft interior. Quite a nice compliment of flavors as well. Black Sesame Mochi - 4/5 - A good chewy donut with good flavor on the black sesame glaze. Service: 4/5 - Super friendly and patient staff that explained the donut flavors which I’m sure can be annoying when repeating oneself. Ambiance: 3/5 - Not sure if they have seating in non covid times but it’s a normal donut shop.

You can find the specialty donuts if you are here early in the day. Unfortunately, they are just mediocre. On the pricey end but the staff are usually friendly. I've been here a few times to get their dozen deal, but I probably won't go back unless I'm dying for some excess calories in the morning and I happen to be passing by. But please take my opinion with a grain of salt since I've tried the best donuts from Portland, Chicago, and SF.

I went on a Sunday morning. I asked for a dozen assorted donuts and did not care what kind they were. When I got home they were great. My family loved the donuts. But, when I arrived, there were two people working behind the counter. One looked like a manager. The tall cashier person was not to enthusiastic about working there. He sounded very depressed like he did not care about anything. He did his job and that was it. The vibe he had made ordering the donuts a downer for me. Maybe just having a neutral attitude would have helped. It could have been a bad day for the employee so I'm willing to give it another chance.

I got a dozen each of assorted cake donuts and glazed donut holes which came to about 30$ via card. Flavor was ok, light and airy, but donuts were way too dry for my preference, and donut holes had an odd after taste for me. Service was very friendly though. My friends did like the donuts, but they weren't my cup of tea.
