Magic Donuts & Coffee

We tried the Lemon Meringue and Blueberry Lime donuts and both were lovely. Using sourdough for donuts is something we have never seen before and it was surprisingly good. The donut was crispy on the outside, soft with a slight sourdough flavor/texture on the inside and not too sweet :) My husband had a vanilla latte as well, which was a bit too sweet for our taste but we will definitely be back for more donuts!

Magic Donuts is the best donut shop in San Francisco! The sugar & spice donut is delicious, with its perfect balance of fluffy sourdough and cinnamon sugar topping. They also have pretty decent coffee to pair with your donut. The friendly staff and clean shop make for a pleasant experience.

Delicious sourdough donuts with inventive flavors, and super friendly staff. It’s great spot for a friendly catch-up, grabbing a snack/coffee to-go, or grabbing a box for dinner parties. My fav flavors are lemon meringue, and blueberry lime. Although they may feel pricey when compared to other donuts, I would categorize these as artisanal desserts inspired by donuts. Would highly recommend giving them a try!

Wow, sourdough donuts! I arrived curious and slightly skeptical, but the first bite sealed the deal: they’re incredible. Not overly sweet, not greasy, almost like a morning bun, chewy and moist and with a satisfying density. These don’t disappear in your mouth like certain airy kompetitor. I had the Maple Pecan (which accentuated the morning bun comparison). It was filled with an excellent custard, and only lightly glazed with maple, so the tang of the sourdough held its own against the other flavors. Also, super friendly staff! I’ll definitely be back.

Super cutely decorated retro style pink and minty pastel cafe with magical sourdough doughnuts! Their staff is super nice and welcoming, even asked what toastiness I preferred for my lemon meringue donut. The place is nice to sit and chat or pop open a laptop. Their lattes are also yummy. My favorite flavor so far is definitely lemon meringue, no matter how messy it is!

We stopped here for breakfast and OMG these donuts are incredible. Good variety, we liked both their old fashioned donuts as well as their novelty ones (the campfire one was my favorite, with a dark chocolate glaze with a giant marshmallow on top). Their coffee is also very good. Overall, great stop for breakfast or a mid day snack

Love the dough! Not too heavy. Toppings are good flavour wise but a bit too much filling 😅😅 tried the maple pecan and lemon meringue - could use all that filling for another plain donut 😂 Coffee was good and strong but not filled to the top - pricey for the portion :/ — update The pumpkin cheesecake was surprisingly SO good and we don’t even like pumpkin flavored usually. Definitely try their donuts with cream, that’s the best part as it’s not too heavy or sweet. the glazed ones are pretty average.

This unique sourdough donut spot is becoming one of my favorite donut spots in the city. I first went on a Sunday around 11am and they were already sold out of their most popular donuts. Went back during the week and tried their cheesecake donut and it was epic. Their donuts are about $6 each and they do offer them by the dozen (expensive but worth it). Their coffee is good too.

Beautiful little donut shop with great people! The interior is phenomenal and they have some interesting flavors! Black forest, blueberry lime, and s'mores! Worth a stop and visit!

Magic Donuts delivers a delightful experience with their sourdough donuts. Freshly baked each day, these donuts have a perfect balance of sweetness that makes every bite enjoyable. The texture is wonderfully light yet satisfying, making it hard to stop at just one. Highly recommended for any donut lover!

I was so delighted to come to Magic donuts for the first time. First and foremost, I was greeted by two very friendly young gents. They were very patient with me as I asked a lot of questions because I have food allergies, but I do love a doughnut! I decided on two, one the dark chocolate salted and the other the sprinkles. Yum!! I really liked the dough, it was a soft and fluffy dough, but it seemed like a cake donut though it was a yeast doughnut. They had so many wonderful options that I could not eat because of my allergies, but I would highly recommend giving them a try. Oops! I ate the chocolate one before I remembered to take a picture, lol

All my friends and family please try this one of Donuts it's crazy for real 🍩🍩🍩 I love it with coffee

I ate 4 donuts. The dough is not like anything I have had. It is substantial and flavorful, without being heavy, which leaves plenty of room for the stacked ingredients. I can’t stop thinking about the lemon meringue. It was so perfect. Definitely a destination donut.

Oops I did it again. Gave in to my sweet tooth. And... I'd do it again! 😈 Lemon meringue pie was just divine. A great balance of creamy meringue, tart lemon, sweet icing, and sourdough. YUM YUM YUM! The campfire was also delicious, especially for those who prefer less sweet. I'm not sure how you eat it without creating a mess... The donut itself is lightly crisp on the outside, moist and chewy and slightly sour inside.

It's definitely exciting to see new food places being open in Potrero. I went in the early afternoon so no lines and service was super fast. I know SF is expensive but $14 for two donuts seemed a little more I'd pay for donuts hence the four stars. Donuts were very good - I got the maple pecan and cheesecake. Both were tasting good.

Such a pretty addition to Potrero Hill! I tried the maple pecan donut, and I would definitely try that again! Although the place has a nice variety of donuts, it would be amazing if they could up their coffee game! I ordered a latte, and it was served a bit cold. I didn't mind as I kind of expected that since their main focus was the donuts. I would love to revisit if their coffee making skill gets better (Since I was there for coffee + donuts)

First timer here: blueberry lime + maple pecan Donuts with a sourdough base twist. I'm personally a fan of sourdough and enjoyed the light tang along, chew, and gentle crunch from the bread. The flavors were bold and filling. The maple pecan was decadent and (I believe) is filled with some condensed milk. It was texturally pleasant. Blueberry lime was a simple and well made donut. I enjoyed how "light" and well balanced it was. I like tart fruit flavored stuff. Overall, this is an elevated donut with SF pastry prices and can be treated like a dessert. Recommend to try! A 4 because I gotta try more of their donuts.

really delicious donuts — I really like the chewiness and subtle tang from the sourdough. The blueberry lime was bursting with flavor and I’d totally get it or another simple flavor again. The lemon meringue had a really tart and punchy curd which balanced the sweet meringue, but there was waaaay too much meringue/not enough curd which made it too sweet. I think just a thin swirl of meringue would’ve been perfect, or at least piping with more surface area so there would be more toasty flavor from browning.

Are these donuts expensive and bougie? Yes. Are they also decadent and delicious? Yes. This isn't a place I would buy a dozen from, but I love these donuts as a special treat. The flavors are unique and the shop is very cute. Staff is always very friendly. One star off for quality control. The pretty ones in the case look flawless. A lot of the ones I've gotten have been pulled from a rack next to the kitchen. They have all been...wet? Like there has been a bunch of condensation on them or something. It hasn't affected the flavor too much but I think the texture and overall look has been a little meh.

Easy fast service after eating brunch next door! Good: - Lots of fun flavors - we got the blueberry, the lemon meringue and the glazed - Pretty sweet donuts, but weren't overwhelming - No line! - Beautiful interior Bad: - Not much seating indoors for a group Overall this was a nice experience and the outdoor seating was perfect for our group of 4!

Been wanting to try these donuts for awhile — not only are they INCREDIBLY instagrammable, but the sourdough spin on a donut makes them an obvious homage to SF. We picked up half a dozen for a party and they were an instant hit — our friends loved the novelty and unique flavors (such as “blueberry and lime” and “campfire s’mores”), and they were big enough to cut into smaller bites for everyone to try. The chewy texture leans less towards a typical baked dessert and more towards regular bread, which actually balances out the intensely sweet and decadent toppings really well. The first notable downside is the price — I get that the donuts are high quality, but nearly $40 for a half-dozen donuts made this a one-time experience for us. We also picked up a coffee to go, and despite the cute as hell espresso machine, the coffee was below average. I just can’t see myself motivated to go out of my to come back. The second downside was the presence of flies inside the donut case — we came in the afternoon and understand that flies can get in even the cleanest of spaces, but these big flies were landing all over the donuts. We had to ask the server to switch out a strawberry donut when she grabbed one that the flies had been on, and she didn’t seem too happy about the request. Overall, if you’re looking for something fun and unique, this is a great place to try — but I wouldn’t plan on making it a regular haunt.

Recently I heard about this place so after some light research I decided it was worth checking out this morning. I love the location and at the time I was there it was super quiet and empty. The donuts looked so tasty and well presented. I opted for a milk chocolate and strawberry. The sourdough gives it a good crumb and nice soft chew. I appreciated the milk chocolate being not overly sweet. There were slight moments of crispiness that added to the yumminess factor. My strawberry wasn't eaten for a while after my milk chocolate and I was walking my dog by the water so my donut seized up a bit. It was more chewy than I wanted. I also had an iced vanilla latte and it was so creamy and sweet just the way I enjoy my morning coffee. Service was fine. The bathroom and the place are super duper clean and tidy. Next time I'll come right at opening to get that maximum freshness experience.

I was super impressed by the sourdough yeast donuts that Magic Donuts and Coffee makes. They only had sugar & spice left by the time we arrived, midway into a Saturday afternoon. Luckily, I love cinnamon sugar! And I had to take a picture of that texture after one bite. The sourdough hits you on the aftertaste, and it lingers with joy. Gotta go back to try a flavor like lemon meringue or cheesecake someday!

This is a really cute cafe with limited seating. We tried their lattes (hot and iced) and both tasted amazing and high quality. We didn’t try the donuts but they had a great variety of flavours to choose from.

I had high hopes for this place but unfortunately it did not live up to the hype. Magic Donuts offers a wide variety of sourdough donuts and they have a lot of unique flavors. We ended up trying what they suggested: the dark chocolate sea salt and the vanilla. The texture of the donuts are definitely different than your traditional mom & pop donut shop but still pretty solid nonetheless. However, the vanilla donut was lacking vanilla flavor and just tasted like sweet bread in all honesty. The dark chocolate sea salt was better in my opinion as it had more flavor and was more enjoyable. The chocolate was definitely pretty dark, probably something in the 65%+ range, but the sweetness from the donut and the salt really helped balance it all out. We also tried their coffee (beans are from Roast Co. in Oakland, which we love) which I really wanted to like but it just tasted burnt and the milk was not frothed correctly unfortunately. I will say that the ambiance and vibe inside and around the shop are great and I would come with friends and family if we’re in the area. However, I wouldn’t go out of my way to come here but will definitely give them another shot in the future ❤️

so glad to see new shops opening up around potrero hill. magic donuts & coffee is a welcome addition to the neighborhood serving fresh sourdough donuts and espresso/cold brew. the donuts were amazing and would recommend. service was extremely friendly and aesthetics were cute as well. would come by when in search for a treat but donuts are on the pricier end. skip the coffee though - they don’t know how to make a flat white. vanilla honey: looks unassuming but a top tier donut. great flavor that wasn’t too sweet and the fluffy and chewy texture was amazing lemon meringue: personally wouldn’t get again but also a well made donut. the toppings distracted from their star (the base donut itself).

Donuts are ok- a little too sweet. Service was shitty- the guy serving me (12:45 on 11/11) couldn’t be bothered to say one word to me. Also excessively slow, and they charged $5.75 for a can of coke, lol. Spent $34 for 3 donuts, a mocha, and a coke. Just not worth it

Very, very good doughnuts, excellent flavors, BUT just not worth the cost; the exception being their lemon meringue & campfire donuts, which were genuinely special.

+6

The donuts just aren’t very good! Had a milk chocolate one and it was too sweet, even for me. And it was over $7.

The employees were professional, and the cafe was clean and tidy. For someone used to Krispy Kreme or your classic bakery, though, the donuts were not for me. While I must admit the Boston creme was baked fresh and was oddly fluffy like biting into a small pillow, yet the sweet custard filling was overpowered by the bitter dark chocolate frosting. I also made the mistake of ordering a milk chocolate donut thinking I was getting a sweet treat, but again, the sea salt made it taste like it had been dropped in the ocean and then fished out. They had some really interesting looking donuts very artfully put together, but I didn't dare to try more.

Aesthetically cute, but if you're craving a donut, I wouldn't actually describe what they make as "donuts". They taste more like crust-less SF sourdough bread, chewy and "wet" (high moisture dough) like the kind you'd get at Tartine, but then covered in glaze. They have no outer crisp like a donut, and don't have the texture of donuts, so they kind of just taste wrong to my palette. The regular glazed just highlights the gummy, chewy texture of the "bread" and really isn't pleasant to eat bread-innard-texture with sugar glaze and no crisp or crunch. 1 out of 5 stars The boston cream has a very bitter, almost not sweet at all, thick chocolate layer on top but not enough cream inside to give it enough sweetness to create balance, even to me who loves dark chocolate. Again, the bread-innard texture is not nice with these flavors. 2 out of 5 stars Lastly, the lemon meringue donut was actually nice, because it tastes more on the whole like just some sort of dessert or pastry. Again, this isn't a donut, but the lemon curd and meringue were really nicely made and there was a good balance of sweet and acid. The chewy bread was still there, but more in the background because the filling and topping were so nice. 3 out of 5 stars The employee recommended the strawberries and cream flavor which we didn't try, but since the "donut" is so bready, I can see that flavors that lean more towards spreads you'd put on bread might taste nicer. Overall, if you want to try sweet gummy bread with holes cut of it, this place might be for you, but if you want donuts, go elsewhere.

It's a donut. Great eye-candy and they went light on the mouth-candy (it's not sugary sweet is what I'm getting at here). Packed with filling so the prices are understandable. Black forest one was a bit lackluster with nothing particularly special about it. Just a mouth full of cream and cherries. The shop is cute! I love the theming. It's a nice treat if you're around the area.

I am part of the cohort gentrifying this neighborhood. This establishment was targeted to people like me. It is ~$6 USD per donut. I recognize what this means for generational locals and original residents to the Potrero community. So this would have been a 4 out of 5 star business for me at best. But I only enjoyed half of what I ordered, hence the 3 stars. I got the cinnamon sugar donut, the matcha donut, the lemon meringue donut, and the maple pecan. - the cinnamon sugar is a simple donut (doesn’t come in a box). It is okay. If you want a stronger sourdough taste, this may be a good selection for you. - the matcha donut is veryvery matcha-forward in taste. If has both matcha icing and matcha filling. Super dense and weighty donut. If you like matcha or are pairing with a beverage, you may enjoy this, but I could not finish it. - the maple pecan has a custard topping, a sweet pecan crumble, and a candied pecan garnish. I would consider getting this again. - the lemon meringue seems like their signature flavor, and I can see why. It is beautiful, it tastes fantastic, and it was balanced in all aspects. Definitely recommend.

Donuts are OK. Well made but not amazing. Staff is really nice and friendly. The place is welcoming and the coffee is quite good. If you happen to be in the area, it is a good stop.

Shockingly mid. Flavors are interesting, but the donut itself does not have that great fried crunch or soft cakey-ness. Not a good donut, but the flavors themselves were pretty decent. Also, really expensive. Like yikes.

It was a delivery order so I can't really rate the atmosphere. I ordered 5 donuts for an extremely pricy sum once you factor in Uber Eats delivery fees. After delivery, discovering only 4 of the 5 donuts were in the box wasn't a great way to begin my Saturday. These are $5 a pop y'all, the least you can do is double-check to make sure you got my order right. -_-

I witnessed the most shockingly disgusting thing here recently-- a woman who was minding her own business sitting on an outside table got peed on by a dog who lives on the patio above, which is a metal grate directly above the tables (I was sitting at a nearby table and saw the dogs on the patio). After explaining the situation to the staff inside, she was NOT helped by them. After cleaning her laptop and dress as best she could with some tiny napkins, the woman left. After she left, I heard the staff laughing about the situation, which is so incredibly rude and unempathetic. When I left about 20 minutes later, the table was not yet cleaned by staff: it was still dripping with about 2 cups of yellow dog piss. See picture. Update: They moved the tables away from the balcony, but guests still use the door that is within the splash zone.

Very disappointing experience — twice. The first time I visited, the service was cold, fake, and unwelcoming. I gave it another chance today, but was completely ignored while others who arrived after me were helped first. When I politely asked to order, I was told to go to the back of a line that hadn’t even formed when I got there. It’s hard not to feel like I was being singled out or treated differently. No one deserves to feel invisible. Very disheartening.

This place REEKS of racism and preferntial treatment. Being a person of color, I experienced the most appaling customer experience in my life; and of all places, San Francisco. The counter person didn't bother to even acknowledge me or my brother and acting like he was doing me a favor giving us our donuts. At first, I thought it was me being overly sensitive but after reading other comments, my experience was confirmed. I'll NEVER come back to this place. I'd rather spend my money someplace else. Bob's donuts on Polk (a classic) or Colonial donuts on Lakeshore Ave in Oakland. MD's product is way too sweet and it's all looks anyways.

I mean.. $10 for a small coffee and a donut?? I think I was in a bit of a shock, I couldn't say no and paid for it. It all would've been somewhat tolerable if any of them were any good. The chocolate on top of my donut was good ish, but the donut itself.. it was dense and chewy.. I mean.. I like my pizza chewy, but not my donut. Isn't the whole point of a donut that it is fluffy and soft?..🤔 Am i wrong?.. The coffee wasn't even a little bit better than the ones at 7/11 or gas stations given the price.
