Customer Reviews
Don?t judge this place by its looks?the exterior might seem a bit sad, but the donuts are absolutely top-notch. Probably the freshest and best in town?soft, flavorful, and clearly made with care. A hidden gem that proves looks can be deceiving. Worth the stop!
Freshest donut I?ve ever had in my life (and I eat a donut with every meal). Let me just say?WOW! The best donut ever. The worker was the nicest man in the world and had the biggest smile :) (probably because he literally makes the world?s best donuts). Did I mention I love donuts?!? If you need donuts GO HERE! We weren?t even hungry because we ate a whole foot long baguette before this, and somehow the donut was still the best in the world. That speaks volume. GO HERE PLEASE. Best day of my life.
A amazing spot for great doughnuts and a cup of Joe. Morning treat, grab one or a dozen. The selection is large and you will not just want one. A great way to start the morning. The staff is friendly and helpful with your selection. Definitely a spot to choose in your neighborhood.
They do accept card and Tap To Pay. Don't believe all the old reviews that say they're cash-only, they're not anymore :) I got a boston cream donut. The cashier was very nice. Thank you for the donut!
Lovely shop with delicious donuts and great coffee! And affordable too! The woman who works there is really nice and the shop itself is clean and welcoming. Highly recommend :)
Can?t speak to their bagels, but their donuts are pretty great across the board with a few exceptions. Honestly, their regular donuts are super disappointing. They?re almost bad. However, their cruller and old fashion cake donuts are outrageous. Some of the best I?ve ever had, and I?ve had my fair share of donuts. Get some crullers and old fashions, you won?t regret it.
Best donuts of my life!
Stopped at 11:30 at night after work. I ordered ?the everything bagel? and requested cream cheese and strawberry jam. It was by far the best bagel I have ever had!!! So delicious!!
Cheap donuts and sandwiches. However, BLT and Turkey sandwiches cost $5.50 and $6.50, respectively. Cheese and veggie sandwiches are less than $5. Cash only!
Delicious donuts! I recommend the vanilla frosted cake donut (with sprinkles of course). My girlfriend prefers the chocolate twist. Both great options! Service is like the donuts... golden!
Love does not explain how I feel about these donuts. They are the most delicious donuts. I dream about them...we don't have anything like The Golden Donut in Montana.
The smell of fresh donuts being made always draws me to walk in from the street for an unplanned snack here. ML donuts a.k.a golden donuts is a classic local donut hole to this neighborhood creating all their specialties in-house and are constantly pumping out new batches during open hours. I find on my trips that the variety of their available stock varies widely so I typically ask them for their freshest out-of-the-fryer donut & a cup of coffee which has worked out well for me so far to date. Overall,
Usually when I go it's excellent but Lyn help me today it was not so great, not sure why she thought I would by a empty box, if I'm here to buy donuts. Please work on tour customer service. Thanks
The Platonic Ideal of a donut place. I don't know why a donut place is open at 11:30 at night, but bless them for it. Excellent, fresh donuts at a reasonable price with no goofy, breakfast cereal toppings. Essentially an improved Krispy Kreme, which is the highest compliment for a donut.
Damn, those donuts are great! Must taste if you?re on the block ;)
Love the owners and I come back for the DElicious DOnuts ??
I've been going here for many years, because of the delicious Colombian coffee! Donuts are irresistible, too. It is Cash Only. Enjoyed toasted bagel with cream cheese. They have some sandwich choices, as well. Nice place to relax alone or with friends. Lana and Michelle (?)very sweet.
Amazing donuts - only $1.25 each for a huge delicious chocolate donut! We passed by on our bike ride and stopped for one...they were so good I went back and ordered 4 more for take away! One of the best foodie experiences we had whilst visiting San Fran :)
Just like Bob?s before Bob?s was Bob?s. If you want to step into a Time Machine and find a magical Golden Donut at the end, you?ve found it. Bonus: breakfast sandwiches are delectable , fresh and handmade to order. Family run, and super kind folk to boot.
9 years ago we had these donuts and we are still talking about them. Passing through on a trip south we purchased a dozen and our then 9 year old son ate his weight?s worth. We try to find a donut shop on every vacation and nothing has compared. Can?t wait to visit again.
Golden Donuts on Geary Blvd in the Richmond District of San Francisco has been here baking fine donuts for decades! Warm, bright, funky and comfy neighborhood spot for coffee, great donuts, muffins and a selection of things to eat. (And God is watching over us! So come have a donut, and take a respite from your worries! ?? ?? ??)
What can I say, this place is no frills and packs a lot of flavor. Walk up counter service serving some of San Francisco's best non-artisan (expensive) donuts is the name of the game here. But take note, just because they're not artisan doesn't mean they don't offer a wide variety with incredible flavor. The buttermilk glazed fritter-like one takes the cake in my book!
My go-to donut shop in the Richmond district. CASH ONLY! Not open too late but the hours work for me. When I've come here during the day, lot of locals eating lunch (I've yet to eat the lunch food items here, but the presence of the crowd makes me want to try it). The glazed buttermilk bars are to die for! Seriously, my wife and I have a problem with them, someone please help us.
My go to place in the morning when my job brings me there. Price point is good and the donuts and other pastries are delicious.
Coffee is very hot, and the donuts are fresh. Cash only. Eight chairs for four tables. Coolers with canned and bottled sodas, juices and water.
Not great, would not recommend. 4.5/10
Best Donuts on the Avenues! Made fresh daily. Hot Coffee. Been stopping into this place every time I'm in the City!!?????????????
They've got a solid dough recipe, which makes for a yummy doughnut. Nothing over the top creative, but tastey and the nice lady lady gave my youngest a freebie to my son for the road. Cash only.
Very good donuts. Looks like family run so worth supporting. Breakfast sandwiches looked good. Friendly staff.
This shop usually has some type of fresh donut when i stop by, so whether it's glazed or chocolate, a warm donut here will make you smile. I should also note it's cash only.
Amazing donuts, wide selection, and they even gave me free donut holes on July 4th! Been going here for years when I?m craving donuts, 5/5 ??
Although they do not make their doughnuts daily and they are usually overnight, they consistently make pretty good donuts(as in not too sweet) and usually will give u a few extra donut holes :)
Classic neighborhood donut shop. A simple but relaxing place. Support local businesses, especially ones that are as good as this!
Love getting a bagel with cream cheese or a ham and cheese croissant here and a little conversation with the staff.
$18.00 for a Dozen donuts
awesome donuts! I come here often to grab a quick snack.
Donut was sub par in my opinion, oily taste. Coffee was typical donut shop coffee
Clean, bright, spacious. Nice food and good price - sandwiches under $5. Good place to hang out in late evenings.
My daily cup of joe ,with 3 ultra nice girls great service , excellent breakfast sandwich/bagel you can't go wrong at Golden Donuts .
Always friendly service. If you order a lot they always give you a free donut or two. Always come here to get my apple fritter fix.
Again what not to like? Great donuts? Everything was great. Cruellers, old fashion? Boston cream. So reasonable.
Good fresh donuts and nice service. Interior could use an upgrade. All with all would surely recommend.
Couldn?t get photographic evidence of my donut but it happened. The classic raised ring was stellar, great texture and fluffy.
Great donuts and customer service!
Great doughnuts, service, prices and clean, safe location. Great place to take the kids for a treat.
Have been going here for years and they make solid doughnuts. Smells amazing when you walk by the vents!
Nice place with coffee, donuts & other food items. Dine-in area no outlets for electronics. Good coffee.
Decent donuts and very clean shop, but personally would choose a different one.
Great place for coffee, latte and especially donuts and Croissants. Cheap sandwiches too!
Opened for us late at night. Wasn't open, but still sold us great donuts at a reasonable price, and delicious!
Good selection of decent donuts. My boys loved the donut holes.
Great donuts and coffee. Quiet little shop in the Richmond district.
The place is old school and funky. But love the donuts.
Light and airy donuts. Fresh and tasty even late at night. Yum.
Place only accepts cash. Can't speak to the quality of the donuts.
House coffee and friendly staff...great way to start the morning!
Best buttermilk bar I've had in the city.
Very nice people. Really good donuts.
Sold me stale donuts (in the morning). Cash only.
Very good doughnuts and cheap sandwiches, that says it all
Cash only. Love the Apple fritter
Sandwiches, and donuts are good, and so is the service.
Friendly staff and always fresh donuts!!
Ok. Minus a star being cash only, and minus another for being kind of dingy.
This place is Closed. It's empty inside
Great bagel and donut options
Insanely good donuts.
Yummy, fluffy donuts.
Tender donuts. Not doughy
Good Doughnuts ????????
(Translated by Google) Brutally awesome donuts ??????, go there and see for yourself ?? (Original) Brutal geile Donuts ??????, fahrt hin und ?berzeugt euch ??
(Translated by Google) Went there twice to get coffee and donuts. Everything was very tasty. The hot chocolate is also recommended. Sometimes there may be a bit too much icing on the donuts but that's a matter of taste. Would go again and again. (Original) Waren zweimal dort um Kaffee und Donuts zu holen. War alles sehr lecker. Auch die hei?e Schokolade ist zu empfehlen. Teilweise vielleicht etwas zu viel Zuckerguss auf den Donuts aber das ist Geschmackssache. W?rde immer wieder hin gehen.
(Translated by Google) The desserts are delicious, but the only drawback is that the fried desserts contain too much oil and taste a bit too greasy. (Original) ????????????????????????????????
