"Magical Donuts lives up to the name, somehow making the fluffiest donuts in all of SF. No matter if they’re raised, sourdough, cake, or buttermilk, it's as if every one has been hooked up to an air pump. Go for the strawberry glazed cake or the Raised Mission Caffè, which could moonlight as a slice of tiramisu. Vegan and gluten-free options are included in the daily menu, and there’s always at least one monthly special. They sell out early, so plan ahead—and snag a picnic table at Parklab while you’re at it." - julia chen 1, lani conway, ricky rodriguez, patrick wong
