This place is my #1 Donut shop in the whole Bay Area.
It's owned and ran by the japanese owners. They are extremely nice and helpful, even though sometimes they have to put up with a lot of rift raft.

This place is better than any of the chucks donuts or happy donuts in the peninsula. Rolling Pins donut shop in san bruno is a close 2nd, with their famous glazed chocolate donut.

When I entered Bob's donut, I instantly noticed the smell of cinnamon and baking, which reminded me of an old style family donut shop. There was a delicious assortment in the window, from which my wife and I selected a cinnamon twist, a buttermilk maple bar, an apple pie type cake donut and a crumb donut, with some hot chocolate. The hot chocolate was good, not too much sugar and not watery or super thin. The donuts were tasty. My wife stated that the buttermilk maple bar was the probably the best she had ever eaten and wanted to return our whole trip for another (we never had the chance). The cinnamon twist was very good...soft and chewy with just the right amount of cinnamon and sugar. Overall, quite delicious. That being said, it is just a donut shop, so it is about exciting as a donut shop can be.

I think that Bobs Donuts is so GOOD!!! I know the owners. My favorite donut there has to be the glazed donut and the CHOCOLATE donuts.I just love the fact that when ever I want a snack in san fransico, Bob's Donuts is my first choice, and the donuts are so inexpensive!!! I THINK BOB`S DONUTS RULE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bob's is one of those classic hometown donut shops. They make their donuts fresh every day. The best time is to wander there (only by car) in the wee hours of the morning when they are still hot. At that hour I wouldn't recommend walking as the neighborhood is a little sketchy. Personally I think Dunkin Donuts is the best place around, but as there isn't one of those in SF this is the next best thing. They are way better than Krispy Kreme although they don't have as much variety.

This place has the best apple fritters EVER. I have been going to Bob's for a few years and have always found the donuts to be reasonably priced and well made. The ladies that work the counter are always very pleasant and quick to oblige.
