This has been a wonderful neighborhood staple throughout my life, affordable and reliable with good selection and quality donuts. Late nights riding the N towards the beach, this is one of the only places reliably there to get you food. During the December blackout, they were open and operating by candlelight. Couldn't love this place more

Simple no frills donut shop. Quality ingredients and a simple selection make this place stand the test of time. Recently grabbed a fritter, cruller, some donut holes and a few strawberry frosted for the kids. Everyone enjoyed them throughly.

Really good caky donuts from a local Sunset spot. Located right where the N Muni line turns from Irving to Judah, this donut shop has some long hours and is open late night.

Best donuts in the city! I think their donuts are better than Bob’s (there, I said it). The cake donuts are my favorite. These stay fresh even the next day. I just moved to the neighborhood 2 months ago and I come here once a week!

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.

Good & fresh selection. Coffee 8s tasty. The location is clean & convenient for my commute, and Mama's and her son's always give excellent customer service. I grew up a couple blocks away, but I always make a stop. My latest favorite the maple bacon bar 😍😍BEATS KRISPY KR*** ANY DAY !

This place really surprised me. It doesn't look like much, but I'm 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.

Fresh, quality donuts made every morning. This isn't 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.

Really fluffy and delectable donuts, very affordable prices. Best when they come straight out of the oven, which I think is around the morning, 2, and 8 pm but don’t quote me

Best donuts in town. I bet they sell donuts to space aliens for space fuel. Take me with you!!!

I get a donut every other week from here. I keep coming back. Fluffy donuts. No frizz. No fancy donuts. They do donuts the right way. Fluffy and classic. Not too expensive either. The donut holes with pudding are divine. Getting a donut from here on a Saturday morning is such a treat for me. I look forward to it every weekend. Every time my gf visits me she specifically demands we go to donut world. Also they have the coolest sign outside. The owners are also so sweet. I hope this place stays open for many years to come

By far the best cake donut I’ve ever had. Another level. Light, airy, moist. Unexpectedly good.

I love that they are open until midnight! They accept both card and cash. But if your total is under $7, there is a fee for using credit card. (If your total is over $7, no credit card fee.) Very convenient location because they are right on the 9th and Judah stop. The star-shaped donuts are so cute and delightful! They also have chocolate donut bars with custard inside (rectangular Boston cream donut).

This is one of my go-to places for donuts. I'm a simple donut eater, mainly relegated to just either sugar or chocolate donuts, none of the sprinkle stuff or the curls, but the basics are what keeps me back over and over again. It's my favorite in the city and I've tries a bunch. I also love the fact that Cam and her mom own and run this joint, the proverbial mom & pop store, except it's a mom/son combo. And they are always in good cheer. The only bummer is that they don't let you eat in the shop. This is a neighborhood enterprise so worth supporting.

We got late-night Apple fritters here that were pretty good! Not as delicious as Bob’s. No indoor seating and they do charge for credit cards under a certain minimum.

Checked out Donut World for their old school donuts. Open till midnight Friday/Saturday! Regular donuts are $1.95 USD, while specialty donuts are $1.95-$3.75 USD. - Apple fritter ($3.75 USD) - not the best I've had but decently sized. - Regular donuts ($10.50 USD for 6) - two buttermilk, two old fashioned, coconut cake and chocolate coconut cake. Favourite was the maple buttermilk. Decent donuts at DW. 3.5 stars.

3 donuts $11.70 ?? My big lunch cost less than that. I think that place is overprice, most likely never go back there. I'd rather buy a quality hearty breakfast from doordash.
