An easy-to-miss place. I grabbed a caramel glazed donut and it was very good.

I’ll just add one more thumbs up review for the apple fritter here. Consider me a fan! Very large, nice and chewy, and not overly sweet. Just the right amount of sugar. I will be back!

Save your money and skip this place. I arrived at 11:00 a.m. with no line and only two employees working. One employee looked directly at me, then picked up her phone and started a conversation on speakerphone. The other employee was making sandwiches. I stood there for 11 minutes without a single greeting, acknowledgment, or offer of service from either employee. I eventually walked out. Customer service costs nothing, and unfortunately there was none during my visit. Extremely rude and unprofessional staff. Please save your money and go elsewhere

Cash only, but quality service and real eggs. The donut was good also. Never judge a book by its cover. The coffee was okay, not bad. Much better than the motor oil in the hotel. Low key, Happy Donut on Ellis will be seen again soon.

A place you can afford to eat in San Francisco! TL:DR This small, locally run shop has great homemade pastries, donuts, etc. and they make a delicious breakfast sandwich for about $8 (as of September of 2023). If you are looking for a price break from the fancy San Francisco fare, check this out for breakfast. Details: Be warned, this is on the edge of what was referred to by some locals as the "tender-fringe". Right outside of the Tenderloin district, which we were repeatedly warned to avoid completely. If you are walking here, don't continue on past this spot. There were no concerns in the immediate area, but continuing toward Tenderloin is not advisable. They had a buttermilk donut which was huge and amazing! Definitely try it! The breakfast sandwich here was nothing special, no exorbitant spices or fancy cheeses, just fresh cooked egg, cheese, and meat. And it's great! The women running the shop were very friendly, and patient as I decided what I wanted. It was so nice to have an affordable breakfast spot close to our hotel. They are CASH ONLY as many of the local places are, but they do have an ATM in store. Take a break from the overpriced tourist spots and grab a break
