"This San Francisco original gives sweets lovers with celiac reason to rejoice. Johnny Doughnuts, in its stunning new cafe in Pac Heights, let me time travel to before my diagnosis in 2004 with its gluten-free doughnut, this iteration stuffed with juicy blueberries. The goofily-named Frittah Thang — to imply its resemblance to a fritter while sporting an old fashioned doughnut-like texture — comes coated in a well-made vanilla glaze. This pastry is hardy, more durable and bodied than a pink box-esque doughnut that may run on the airier side. This dessert-adjacent creation is hefty, too: It won’t fit in your hand, requiring just the right amount of bites, making each bite feel worth each penny spent. Chomping into this Y-shaped pastry was the correct choice on a late afternoon on California Street. Alongside the shop’s Equator Coffee in the morning, or as a post-Roam Burger delight, the Frittah Thang is as San Francisco a doughnut choice as a drunken Bob’s order at 1 in the morning. Johnny Doughnuts, 2404 California Street, San Francisco" - Lauren Saria
