All Stars Donuts

Expensive doughnuts $3.75 each They were not fresh on Monday Tasted about a day old not the best tasting doughnuts but not the worst.behind counter and kitchen is very dirty

It's really disappointing to see people leave bad reviews that are based on business decisions the store has made in order to simply survive, and not the actual quality of the food or service. The store not being open when you want them to be open, or not having dozens of different donuts on hand, are business decisions, and calling it out does not belong in a review. Stop being a child and take a moment to understand what's been going on downtown and in SOMA the last few years, and how that's impacted food and beverage establishments in particular. Every time I've been here, my food is always fresh and delicious, and the service is friendly and excellent. That's what matters to me.

Still a great place to get some quick food in the morning on the way to work. The lady that runs the place is really friendly and will take pre-orders over the phone while your stuck in the toll plaza

You wouldn't know this place was still open unless you just knew. They aren't open nearly as long as most donut shops, they don't have a crazy huge selection, and compared to all other All Stars Donuts locations downtown, I believe they are open the fewest days a week, but the STRANGEST part is they're actually closed Saturdays and Sundays! Odd, yes, but those details are miniscule when it comes to the big picture. This place still maintains great customer service, which is all too apparent the minute you step inside the door and catch a glimpse of an employee interacting with other customers. Most customers look like regulars, seemingly some greeted on a first name basis and/or exchanging personal greetings. Employees are more often kind with a smile than not, even with all the madness going on. They certainly won't be the place to visit for your wild and weird experiments (yes, im speaking on cronuts or whatever this week's trend is), no outta this world odd ball flavors they've decided to play with, but maybe I'm crazy when I'm content with a donut shop being simple, serving up a few several different flavors and types of donuts with some coffee and a small selection of other breakfast drinks to choose from. It's simply just a little shop with exactly what's promised to be there; donuts. Which is all I need for my donut needs (not that I would complain if y'all wanted to open up a weekend or two each month 😉).

$7.35 for a bagel egg and sausage. Disappointing to say the least.

Used to be a 5star establishment, no question. However, it has slipped a bit in the last few years. The donuts are not baked as often, due to declining patronage, but the staff continue to be smiling and helpful as always.

Best little donut shop I have ever been to. The one small silver lining in the dark and dank days of APEC (my new swear word). I had to walk home four blocks because of the idiotic policies of the Secret Service Agents who made my home ground zero for APEC. Never would have found this pastry making gem otherwise!

Nice portion size and taste of cheese burger with french fries. Good Cinnamon roll. Multiple choices of cold drinks. The lady at counter is obviously really tired but still trying to be friendly. Better take out than sit in, for the taste of food is much better than the looks of this donut shop.

I have made a triumphant return to inform my followers that All Star D is no longer open 24/7. While I have not confirmed this (with my own two eyes), the bois have reported that the crack head situation got a lil too out of control in the witching hour. For the safety of the employees, donuts, J's, and pigeons, they had to do it to em..... unfortunate? yes. but for best? probably, yes. If you are in search of a cream filled at midnight, please refer to my field guide. All is better than well fam - Teddi P.

Stopped in for breakfast on a weekday afternoon. I ordered the two eggs with cornhash and hash browns, and the boyfriend opted in for the two eggs, bacon, and hash browns breakfast. Let me tell y'all -- I've been coming here for years and this place never disappoints. Everything is made to order and the quality of every hot meal that comes out of the kitchen is beyond what you would find at a chain restaurant. They have a wide variety of breakfast and lunch options at affordable prices. Their coffee is brewed fresh by the half hour and the donuts are out-of-this-world! This place has been around for nearly three decades and for good reason. You know an establishment takes care of its customers when the regulars are as loyal as family (yes, I observed several customers being greeted by first name). Support local y'all!

Please check your donut sometime. They sell two days old if you bite it and it's a little rough biting that doughnut then it's stale no good

I'm a cheeseburger enthusiast and let me tell you that this All Star Donut Shop at 399 5th Street is amazing. Perfectly cooked burger, I'm a plain and simple type of guy. The workers are nothing but great people and quickest service. In my opinion the onions rings were the cherry on top.

When you compare this shop to a Krispy Kreme it kinda fall 10,000 miles too short. The one really good thing here is the friendliness of the counter people. Some may argue this but I have seen some amazing reactions to some really bad behavior. Unfortunately they have become experts in the field of dealing with pain in the behind folks. Doughnuts pass the taste test but the store is kinda dirty. Still. I come here for hot coffee and an occasional doughnut.

"No fluff - cheap stuff" People often say don't judge a book by its cover, but when it comes to All Star Donuts, judge away. When you walk into a place with a giant white poster board on the window displaying the specials (which have been crossed off multiple times in pen) you should know exactly what you're getting into. This place is cheap, has some decent food, and is basically open all the time...it's everything I look for in a restaurant ;) They have spam, they have rice, they have corned beef hash, and when they say they have hash browns it's actually hash browns. Counter top service and bus your own tables. Don't expect much and you'll be pleasantly surprised. Protip: bring some cash to tip. (Yes, they accept cards now with a $10 minimum)

I came here this morning to make a large company order of doughnuts. I planned to purchase them every Wednesday if they could provide an itemized receipt that would show that I purchased doughnuts. I waited for the cashier to finish whatever she was doing behind the register. It was taking a while so I politely said excuse me, so I could get her attention. She looked at me and turned her eyes back to whatever she was doing without responding. I wanted to get upset but you never know what people are going through. I politely walked out in search of another company. Thank you All Star Donuts for your amazing customer service. You ROCK...NOT!

THIS REVIEW IS ONLY FOR THEIR BEEF TERIYAKI PLATE. Unfortunately it wasn't good, as much as I wanted it to be :( I did think the meat (beef) portion was generous and the price was cheap, but flavor-wise, it wasn't great. The teriyaki sauce was not tasty and the rice wasn't even cooked well. I'm glad I gave it a try though. Maybe next time I'll try their donuts, which seem to be loved by many Yelpers.

You have to appreciate small businesses like this, they are becoming extinct in the area. This shop in particular keeps it old fashion; good 'ol donuts for an old fashion price, under a dollar. I always get the glazed or old fashion chocolate and they are the best I've had in the area, soft moist goodness. I was curious and have also ordered the Chicken Terriyaki over rice from their lunch menu. For under $10 you get your money's worth. Quality and taste is good enough, it exceeds what you would expect from a donut shop. And you can actually see them cooking/preparing your meal so you know its cooked when ordered. Nice and fresh. My only gripe is that the man who works the register could use a brighter personality. But then again, I'm not there to make friends, I'm there to satisfy my hunger for a good price.

Ummm, so some things are better left unsaid much less written but hell I seem to always find a way to embarrass myself anyhow so here it goes... With a pounding headache and an eyelash hanging on for dear life, I woke up yesterday morning to find something poking me. I reached down to find a small tip of a fry and a piece of breading in my bra. Confuzzled, I grabbed my phone to see a message, "YOU GOT SOME EXPLAINING TO DO..." later followed with "Do YOU know what you did last night?" .... "Hello?!?!? Are you alive?" by four different people. Ohhh Mr. Goose, you never fail to amaze me. As I fumbled with the crumbs in my hand, it started to come back to me; EACH and EVERY gory detail. *Face Palm* In the midst of interrogating guys for my friends (only the best for my gfs), yacking in the bushes, and other IwillhavetokillyouifItoldyou unmentionables, I remember having two Salt & Pepper Chicken Wings and two French Fries outside of All Star Donut. Fresh out of the fryer, the All Star Donuts' Salt & Pepper Chicken Wings were piping hot, deliciously crisp, and juicy with just the right amount of savory seasoning. The French Fries were thick yet nicely crisp around the edges. Everyone knows Chicken Wings are my Kryptonite. Whoever bought the wings, DAMN YOU! Huffing and puffing on the elliptical and stairmaster hungover while dripping goose drops was so NOT the biz yesterday. OTHER NOTES: *Open 24 hours *Asian rice plates available in addition to American breakfast and lunch items *Only good for DRUNK food *6 tables for seating *Private parking lot *Cash Only

The only downtown bakery in the city with a parking lot has landed me here for a quick AM meal. My craving was the Apple-fritter. As I walked in,I saw the most bizarre thing in the earliest morning,there were one left. My thoughts were Apple-fritter must be good from this bakery. I told the lady behind the counter,that the last AF has my name on it. As she grab the item with the wax-paper, half of the moist apple-fritter fell to the floor. My bitter expression bursts into grief. I asked the lady for a discount on something else,but my request was denied. I bought a cup of coffee and glazed doughnut,and left. As a employee of the city and county,every bakery or restaurants I go, I get the best treatment while on duty. But not this bakery. My Motto for this bakery: "All-Star Donuts with Minor-League staff"

Donuts are the way to my heart when i'm bustling around in SF doing a store remodel. I just need that heavy carb with the delicious chocolate and/ or chocolate w/ sprinkles. :D ENJOY!

All Stars Donuts sell burgers (3.99), breakfast, donuts, coffees, and who knows what? thought about it. forgot about it. no parking spaces available here. eats: jelly filled donut(1.75) -huge, doughy, and pricey, fill just the plastic bucket kind pour: peerless coffee(m. italian dark roast(m. 1.75) -tasted too smooth, watered down? leftovers: -nice place to hang and eat if parking is found. -service mechanical, semi-busy here.

Okay, to start off: this is your basic greasy spoon little cafe breakfast/lunch spot. And it is in a kind of sketchy neighborhood, but they're not too bad, especially during the day. It's very conveniently located right at a bus stop at 5th and Harrison. AND wonder of wonders it has a nice little parking lot that's free. The important thing about this place is that the food is great. For what you pay, it's better than many much fancier breakfast places. For 13 bucks I got a corn beef hash meal, ( which includes corn beef hash, hash browns, toast or English muffin, and two eggs any style ) PLUS a 4pc side of bacon, PLUS two donuts. If I had skipped the donuts and the side, it would've been an even better deal and a lot less calories. But then you don't come to this kind of place for your diet, do you? The corn beef hash was done well, the hash browns were good, the thickcut bacon was crispy and my two "over medium" eggs were cooked to absolute perfection and still hot. I'm really glad I stopped by. Now, I will say, a ritzy area, its not. A car alarm was going off for most of the time I was there, and a guy across the street a half block away was yelling incomprehensibly the whole time. More important negative points? I'd have to say the biggest downsides are that there's NO bathroom, and they do not offer ice water or any kind of ice with any drink. If there'd been a bathroom and ice I might have given it 5 stars.... my food was that good. Of course, I really really like breakfast food. YMMV. But if you just want to stop in and get some really great comfort food and head out you can't do much better for the price. Or if you're into food.plus the local color of crazy SF, just before getting back on to the highway (as it's right near the Bay Bridge exit) well, this will do you just fine. A little craziness never bothers me so I loved it, but I wanted to make sure I didn't create any unrealistic expectations. Still, with all the caveats, I truly believe it totally deserves the four stars.

Exactly what a glazed donut should and must be in order to satisfy a craving. Well-organized pastries, lots of options. I've had the maple ones, the chocolate one, etc but hands down the best one is the glazed donut, followed by a glazed jelly donut. Cheap pastries, friendly staff, strong coffee. Perfection. Also, apparently they do cheesesteak sandwiches? Thats more my bf's thing so I've never tried, but he tells me they're good. They have a ton of different ones on their two specials boards. All stars is a quaint hidden gem of SOMA. So glad I stumbled upon it!

I've been coming to All Stars Donuts for years, the atmosphere is dismal at best, and the coffee is fair; but the food is some of the best in the city. My go-tos are the Teriyaki Chicken Bowl with extra chicken, extra sauce and Everything Bagel with bacon sausage egg and cheese. I defy you to find a better teriyaki chicken bowl in San Francisco!

Giant Vending Machine just down the block from the school i use to work at is ALL Star Donuts. i'm split about the value that this adds to the community. on the one hand it's a treat for the kids and yes i've used a trip to All Star Donuts as an incentive, but on the other it does not really offer the healthiest things for them. i know this is one of the few places in the neighborhood the kids go to right after school. the food is cheap, it's close by and there fore is a perfect places to get their sugar fix or fried food cravings satisfied. donuts and made to order burgers, fries, onions ring, chicken wings, sandwiches etc. accompanied by the whole back wall lined with sodas and energy drinks. i guess it beats having a corner liquor store and although people may loiter at times, at least they aren't drinking and smoking. the place looks like it's been there for years- signs of obvious wear and tear. it could use a great deal of TLC. Oh and it is cash only which is a minor inconvenience since they have an ATM on site. until next time cheers!

4:55 am, 10/11/16. I just walked into Allstar for the yummy cinnamon rolls all their locations are known for. I walk up to the counter and say, "good morning" to the lady working there. She turns to me and says, we're closed". "Ok", I say as I turn to walk out confused. Then I say to her, "well your door is unlocked". I'm thinking 'if you're not open, for security sake and safety, don't leave your front door unlocked at 5 minutes to 5 am! As I'm walking out the door, a gentleman is coming in. I say to him as we pass one another, " she said they're closed". He seems to ignore my informative gesture and proceeds on into Allstar. So I go out to the parking lot, I turn around to see how she receives him. I just told him they're closed. Now he'll go all the way to the counter just to be turned away as I was........ Then, something very disappointing happens. She waits on this patron and sells him a cressant. So I go back in and say, "excuse me; I thought you said you were closed". She barely makes eye contact with me and says, "he just wanted a cressant". I then say to her, " you didn't even ask me what I wanted. But I'll tell you what, I'll never comeback in here again. You are wrong for how you've treated me". No yelling. No screaming. No vandalism of property. I said what I've quoted above and left. Since I gave her my word that I'd never return, I won't. My word is my bond. My mother raised me to reject the urge to judge someone based on the exterior. She told me to 'let them show you who they are. Then, when they do, you not only know who you're dealing with, but also, how to deal with them'. Thanks, mom. She's been dead going on ten years and she's still taking me to school. I'm African American. The patron is Caucasian. The employee is Asian. None of these facts matters to me. Yet, it seems that some difference between the second patron and myself mattered to the employee. Why did she refuse me service and yet wait on the man who came in 5 seconds after me? Why did she discriminate against me and yet she graciously waited on him? I do not presume to know. I'm not judging her as being racist or stereotypical. I'm just relating the facts of my observation. All things said and considered, I'll continue to go to the other Allstar locations as I always have. I will however avoid 399 5th St and any other establishments that treat patrons differently based on the imbalances within their own hearts....... I've got to go in to my job now. No delicious Allstar pastry in my tummy. I do have a reinvigorated zeal to treat others as I wish to be treated though. I promise I won't mistreat my customers today or any day beyond this. Thanks to all of you who post your experiences on YELP! Thanks to Yelp for giving us this informative platform. Good or bad, keep posting. Good businesses need to be recognized. Bad ones need to elevate their standards. Regards, Damon

Positives: Accepts card payments, food is fresh and easy to get to. Negatives: If you can handle hearing homeless people complain, small parking lot, some of the workers there focus on other people who call instead of tend to the customer who placed an order beforehand. Overall, this shop is good for a small bite before work but be warned it is usually swamped with homeless during morning times and you will hear complaints to them about being mistreated.

I'm always hungry for pastry type foods at the wrong hr. I'm glad that all star is open to feed us at two Am!

If you're looking for a cheap joint that serves donuts and more, you found your spot. They have a decent sized menu, beyond donuts, like burgers, sandwiches, breakfast food and more, with dishes under $10. So All Star Donuts is open everyday, all day and all night, except Monday and Tuesday, when they close early at 9pm. This makes it a decent late night stop, perhaps after a few drinks and you're craving food. This place is not what you might describe as atmospheric, but if you can drop that pretense, the place is fine with decent food and good prices.

Got the chicken teriyaki bowl. Very good quality for the price. Hard to find sub-$10 meals in SF these days. Good for a quick cheap meal if you can ignore the ambiance

I was walking from the Caltrain station & saw this place. Did a quick yelp check & it has 3.5 stars so I stopped in. People, this place is a STY! It was around 10 am and they have a poor selection of donuts. What's up with that? They're open 24/7. Shouldn't they be crankin out donuts all day? I got a Boston cream & let's just say it was less than fresh! Good news is it didn't make me sick!

not bad, extremely limited selection at 9:30am on a weekday CASH ONLY

This place does look really sketchy but don't be afraid! The food is surprisingly good. The customers are kinda scary too but there are good deals at this place. On my first visit, my bf and I had a quick burger and fries and they were pretty good. Not greasy or anything and it did it's job at getting us satisfied. I think the with fries it came out to 6$. This place is also good for stumbling in when you're drunk! Sadly, there aren't enough seats. It gets pretty busy after the club. We've also had donuts here and they are so good!!! I love this place! Definitely will be back for donuts. They satisfy my sweet tooth.

DONT ORDER THRU DOOR DASH. I ordered donuts thru door dash and they fucked up my order and told me they couldn't do anything abt it. I put in an order for 4 raised donuts ( they didn't have flavor options so I assumed they were only glazed) and then put a separate order of one raised donut but in the info section asked to make that one chocolate for my friend if they can and if not that's fine. I was so hyped to eat them and then I opened it and got 5 FUCKING CHOCOLATE and I hate chocolate. I'm BIG MAD

It's so nice to eat a donut in SF that isn't topped with rosebuds and organically-grown fairy dust and costs $10. This place is the real, old-school deal: just plain old donuts that cost 0.99 cents. My roommate and I dragged our weary souls over after a soul crushing SF apartment hunt and felt healed.

Been coming here for over 10 years! Get the breakfast bagel with cheese, egg, bacon and sausage! Amazing! All good here done with care and fresh. Actually tastes and smells great! Their donuts and lunch is worth checking out also!

I came here super late at night and this place was super quite. The employees were super friendly and served us with smiles. The place is small with a few tables for people to sit down over some coffee and donuts. It's a great place to go to if you're craving sweets at 2am when everything else is closed. I was able to eat the donut holes, which were cheap, fresh, and better than any other I've ever had. Come here if you ever get the chance whenever you want some donuts!

Food is nasty,Last time i came gere years ago it was rats piuring from the outside storage so i assume that it has changed lol wrong its worser there inside now smh were is the health dept? I dont know how this place stays in business so long

Late night, horniness over...coffee and a donut and lots of transients hanging out...its nothing really to get all excited about but when I had to wait for a certain someone to finish up with their evening of antics it was a fun distraction. The cake donuts with glaze are pretty tasty...but not fattening. ha!

Pros: Salt and pepper chicken wings Breakfast Open 24/7 and Latte Ice cream thats the 90s prices. What a great deal. Cons: super dirty restroom.

UPDATE: this place is only open in the morning to milk profitable hours, they treat customers like garbage, prices rise constantly and nose dive in food quality says STAY AWAY

I've had their donuts on a occasions and they're just donuts. Nothing special about them as they probably get them from somewhere else. Surprisingly though, the food is pretty good. My goto lunch is an All-Star omelette. It has mushrooms, sausage, bacon and avocados. The omelette is finished off with some nice melted cheese on top served on a bed of hash browns. I really don't get anything else. I've tried other things and they weren't bad.

Coffee was good. 10 flavors. Place is kind of a dump. But clean enough. Donuts look decent in the showcase (I did not indulge). Breakfast sandwich: Bacon was crispy. Egg and cheese scrambled nicely. But they slathered the toasted Everything Bagel in some horrid trans-fat margarine lotion. Rendered the whole thing inedible. I complained. Guy didn't offer any repairs. So I tossed the whole thing in the trash and went a block away to the SOMA Whole Foods buffet to start my day over again. I'd probably continue to stop here for coffee, or a box of Donuts for a party... But, that's all.

This place is nasty.i came here couple times usually got lots of homeless walking around, and the floor are so dirty once I saw a mouse around here.not a good place to get food in here

Never open. Not consistent. Rude service. They don't give a fuck about the customer. Donuts are not fresh. When they are open...which is never ....its nice to get hit onion rings...just don't ask to use the bathroom or for a cup of water cuz they will find a way to treat you worse

One of the women dropped my hard boiled egg on the floor and expected me to eat it. She yelled at me when I asked for another one and asked that I not come back.

I came here to this neck of the wood to see a client today and my god, I didn't know these prices still exist in the bay area. 3.99 for a chicken terriyaki bowl and a soda. I thought I was shot back in time. Granted the food wasn't that good, but the amount of food that you get was crazy. There aren't that many places around here so if you ever get a hankering for fast, cheap, and food that will just keep you trucking. This is the place to come by and check out. It even has a parking lot. You spend more on paying meters down here than on the food. I would actually come back down to try other items on their menu. Their menu is very deep. Donuts, rice plates, fried chicken, fish and chip...........they pretty much have everything.

Awesome place! An original SF treat/ locals secret ! Unfortunately will not be around much longer;( go and try now!

Cool - my 100th review! This place has awesome burgers! The char-grilly smell always caught my attention when I walked past with my dog so I finally stopped in. Great burger with lots of lettuce, tomato, fresh bread and extra crispy bacon. Fries are made to order so no wimpy limp ones. Donuts looked a little aged at 6pm so I'll have to try them another time. Also, there is nothing wrong with this neighborhood. I totally disagree with "Saban". Sure, there are homeless people but check the SF police reports and you'll find only one problem 6 months ago with a dude cited for indecent exposure. I consider that free entertainment. No dogs allowed...boo!

Right now this place is within crawling distance of where I live. Quite convenient for when I'm up really late working on photos and I have a sudden craving for sugar. Seriously... I'll be up at like 3:22 am and be famished - All Star Donuts to the rescue. The staff is friendly, even in the middle of the night. Not the cleanest place in the world, but it's a 24 hour donut shop, whaddya expect?

I'm a little wary of ordering chinese food and burgers at my local 24-hour crack donut SOMA dive. This place is a true dump, and of course, that means GOOD DONUTS. They make a good cinnamon twist and chocolate old fashioned, and its **especially** useful for late night role playing if you find yourself making your way across the visceral urban wasteland, drunk and on foot, between the ballpark and the panhandle.... ... you might imagine you are down and out on the skids, cuz that's where you are... You pick out a couple donuts from the shiny display case, walk out into the night, lurching down the street, white baggy in one hand, big greezy cinnamon twist in the other... ...you chomp away, pants sagging, ass crack hanging, grumbling to yourself and nearby hobos, you start to sweat, fart and just generally smell bad... ...Stop at a small darkened grove of trees next to freeway on-ramp. you pee on a shrub. Pull out chocolate old-fashioned. DON'T. TOUCH. DONUT. WITH. RIGHT. HAND.... ...Passersby strain to avoid eye contact. you sneer at them. You are a borderline public nuisance now... ...Continue stumbling down darkened alleys and garbage-strewn streets. Step in filthy puddle of stagnant street broth. You're miserable now. Hobble out of the darkness and into the bright orange glare of Market Street making mumbly small talk with fellow street ilk. No, you don't want a street sheet, but at this point, can you have a stack of them to sell?? ...Now feeling ill from donuts, sweatier as the stomach churns. Dig around in your pockets for any sign of loose change. Get on historic "F" car. No idea if this goes anywhere you need to be. Mumble to train operator something about getting back to Upper Haight. She's gonna drop you off at Haight and Gough. Get off... ...Stumble onto 71 bus. Gurgle. mumble. stinky. sweaty. tired. broke. Fading away. Swaying back and forth. to and fro. You are a degenerate now. Miss stop that is closest to your house... By several stops. Maybe even measurable in miles. You don't know. ...Get off the bus at Stanyan. Traipse thru panhandle and down Fell. Take picture of self with new camera. Slog up to Fulton Street. Turn down Fulton, ahhhhh, its downhill now... ...Wobble past frat boys at the corner of Masonic and toward home trying to maintain focus. You make it to your door and totter in... ...Leave you keys in door knob all night. Your head crashes to pillow. See? You made a fun game of it. :|

Have a hankering for fried salt & pepper chicken wings + onion rings in the middle of the night? This is the place for you. It's open 24/7, and also has a good selection of donuts, fries, and burgers. And, they have parking for people and vehicles for a quick bite in or out. PS: The fried salt & pepper chicken wings + onion rings were 'finger lickin good'! (I really didn't do that since I'm slightly OCD about that kind of thing, but you get the picture).

If you need a donut fix, look no further. Yes, it may not be in the best neighborhood or be the cleanest establishment but none of that matters when you are having a donut withdrawal. Donuts are cheap, fresh and tasty. Great assortment to boot. Still dreaming of that apple fritter I ate this morning after walking on a treadmill for 60 minutes to ease the guilt. It was worth it and I think I'll do it again tomorrow.

[sings] "Signs, signs, everywhere there's signs. / Blocking up the scenery, breaking my mind. / Eat this, don't do that, can't you read the sign?" The freshness of my donut at 3pm is what rounded this somewhat divey burger joint up to 3-stars. The interior was clean but visually cluttered, with signs everywhere - a mix of printed, hand-written, and the ubiquitous tile-letter menu type signs. My burger was fair, though nothing special, but took a seemingly long time to come up despite me being nearly the only one there. FYI, mayo is a standard topping here, and the only cheese options (extra 50 cents) are Swiss and American (which really shouldn't count as cheese). Some of the posted policies that I noted: - Free coffee or canned soda with hot meals (typically ~$6 breakfast, $8 lunch) - Cash only - No pets inside - 1/3 lb. burger or Chicken teriyaki bowl for $2.99 from 10am - 10pm If signs point you here for lunch or a late-night snack, you'll probably leave satisfied. Unless you get a donut to put a smile on your face.

Don't let the outside fool you. I certainly did and have walked passed by it a dozen times before always craving donuts but thrown off by the exterior. Yes, it is in a sketchy area (across on the next block is an area where a lot of homeless people hang out) and there are often some not so friendly looking people outdoors, but for some reason this morning my husband and I finally gave it a chance and we are glad we did. When you go in there are some friendly Asian workers that helped get our donuts. Some other note is that they have bbq pork buns and also serve other foods. The chocolate glazed donut was delicious and the bbq pork bun was heated up for us. We enjoyed it! We are hoping to make a stop by another time to try to some of their food. Note: CASH ONLY

In my hood, there is no shortage of crackheads. That I understand. Why they all kind of gravitate here I have no idea. Decent, cheap food though.
