Allstar Donuts

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Hidden Gem on Clement! I recently stopped by Allstar Donuts on Clement and I’m so glad I did — what an amazing spot! The pastries and donuts were incredible — fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. You can taste the quality. I’ve always loved coming to Clement Street for food and local vibes, and now I’ve added one more must-visit to my list. Whether you’re in the mood for a classic donut or something fresh from the bakery case, this place hits the spot. Highly recommend if you’re in the area — a sweet little gem that lives up to its name!

Honestly one of the better donuts I’ve had in a minute. Especially fresh and out the grease, super tasty. They are a little bit pricey, but open late and the service is good. Would not recommend the chocolate croissant though, wasn’t a big fan. Just stick to the glazed.

Great neighborhood stop. There are stools for seats with tables and bar top. Service is fast. They have a large variety. One of the best traditional donut shops in the city.

Absolutely amazing donuts – fresh and incredibly delicious! The selection is huge, and the prices are unbeatable, whether for donuts or coffee. Plus, the staff is super friendly. A must for all donut lovers!

Delicious bagel sandwiches for a great price. They also have a wide variety of drip coffees :)

The glazed is world class. The jelly filled isn’t my favorite as it tastes a little like medicine. Highly recommended.

It's great they are open at 6 am. One can get tasty pastries, or donuts, for the morning coffee

They reliably greet me cheerfully at 6:15 AM and make a bagel sandwich as I request in 5 min. I love this place. I’ll truly miss it if I move out of the neighborhood.

The chocolate donut was solid, would recommend getting this. Controversial: skip the donut holes

Saw that some reviewers mentioned cream puffs (although super long ago, so I didn't have much hope) so we came here around midnight on Saturday. Unfortunately they didn't have them so we settled on an apple fritter instead. The place was pretty staffed even late at night and the workers were extremely friendly. The fritter itself was very delicious, probably one if the better ones I've had -- with that said, it was on the oily side. Overall a pretty solid donut spot thats open 24/7!

Your average donut place. Always very busy. Friendly relaxed service. However the donuts are kinda $$. Something like US$3 for an old fashioned?? C'mon that's crazy.

Hands down one of my favorite donut places that I've been to on the West or East Coast. It's low-key, good value, and the donuts are always on point. None of that bougie, over-the-top, hipster donut shop stuff with crazy flavors, an excessive number of toppings, and costs the same as a bowl of ramen. No, this is the good stuff -- the classics. The glazed donut is what every glazed donut should be like: fluffy and perfectly yeasted, not oily, and a thin layer of glazing that doesn't shatter into a million pieces and adds just the right amount of sweetness. The quality is consistent across all the other offerings as well -- bear claws, old fashioned, cream-filled donuts (mocha, chocolate, regular frosting)...etc. They also have ube and other SE Asian flavors in the form of cake donuts and they're also fantastic. You can't go wrong here!

The donuts here are fresh and delicious, and the service is attentive and friendly! The space is cozy and clean.

I stopped by on a rainy day for a sweet treat and to wait out the storm. The inside is very clean and organized and has a lot of seating. I was greeted by the person behind the counter who took my order. I came in the afternoon and they didn't have as much donut variety (I was hoping for white chocolate and sprinkles) but I ultimately settled for a maple glazed donut. The donut was a good size and perfectly made. The glaze was not too sweet and the inside was soft and fluffy. I really enjoyed this donut and will definitely come back again!

Even though it's clearly not the case, it feels like one of my relatives has been telling me to try All Star Donuts since the day I was born. Being more than a little familiar with my love for donuts. she's praised nearly everything she's tried here, whether it be their cinnamon twists, apple fritters, or their basic old fashioned donuts. Truthfully, though, I actually came here a long, long time ago. I just haven't had the heart to tell her because I wasn't all that impressed. Which only made it that much tougher when she wanted to stop in after dinner one night so that I could "finally try them"! Whoops... Now, despite how I felt after my first visit here, I actually didn't mind coming back after all of this time. In part because of my aforementioned love of donuts, but mostly because I was genuinely curious if they might be better than I remember. Glancing through their display cases, most of All Star's donuts are pretty typical (cake, old fashioned, glazed, twists, bars, buttermilk bars, filled, fritters, donut holes, etc.), though with a good mix of flavors, fillings, and toppings. To be honest, there were actually quite a few that caught my eye, but I opted to go with my usual measuring stick - a CHOCOLATE OLD FASHIONED ($2.00). By and large, I thought this was pretty middle of the road. On the plus side, I liked that it wasn't overly sweet and the icing had a nice, chocolate flavor to it. However, the edges of the donut were missing that bit of crispiness and there was a subtle aftertaste that I still can't put my finger on. Perhaps more importantly, compared to what I remember, the donut definitely seemed better this go around. Of course, it helped that the icing was actually firm this time (the last time, it had literally just been made and the icing hadn't set yet, so the chocolate smeared all over both the bag and my mouth). In all, All Star's donuts are obviously far better than what you'll find from your local supermarket, as well as those ultra processed ones, but they don't really stand from the many other donut shops in SF. And before you assume I'm going off just one donut, it's also based off of the bite from my relative's cinnamon twist, as well as the other donuts I've had here in the past (glazed, fritter, cake with sprinkles, to name a few). Still, they've got some interesting options I'd be interested in coming back for and their breakfast sandwiches actually look pretty good from the photos on Yelp (they also have croissants, muffins, and bagels). Of course, that assumes I'd be able to get anything but a donut from a donut shop... THREE AND A HALF STARS rounded down for now.

Great ube donuts. Otherwise a regular bodega style place for quick sandwiches. A super easy-going, no frills vibe for late at night after everything else has closed and you're kicking it with a couple friends.

Literally service with a smile. The gentleman behind the counter should be awarded customer service employee of the year. He def up sold us on more than what we came in for and was so informative. We will return!

Even though it says donuts in their name, they serve more than donuts. Their breakfast sandwiches, sandwiches, bagels, coffee, etc are so good. Efficient and friendly. They also try to amp up the ambiance by decorating the place during holiday time. Great neighborhood place and definitely All Star!

It's a nice little shop, they put the Sandwich menu front and center , but the front counter showcases their donuts. Overall their cake donuts were fresh and had 2 both of which were yummy. I'd come back if in the area and needing a donut fix.

Fluffy glazed donuts Crispy apple fritter Maple old fashion is so so But those glazed donuts are so. Damn. Fluffy Great service $5 minimum for card Old style donut shop interior

Here's to the workers of the corner sandwich/donut shop, the two men who helped me navigate the twenty-nine sandwich options with great service and smiles. I had wanted to try All Star Donuts' sandwiches for some time. I liked their donuts, so why not? One day I asked two people outside the shop what they were waiting for, and they said they come for the sandwiches. Twice I stopped by and the shop was sold out of the rolls they bake. The third time I lucked out. Then I had to make a decision. It is not easy as a vegetarian. The two men and I began debating various sandwiches with changes. Finally we agreed on #23, which I practically customized (did I create a secret menu?!) due to my dislikes. It became egg, cheese and avocado on a roll. It's all about the bread; it's soft and yummy. In a few minutes, the man cooked the egg and then made the sandwich. It is delicious, and did I mention it is very reasonably priced? I will return for my custom sandwich, or maybe customize another. You will be happy with one of the twenty-nine choices or your own! Don't forget to buy a donut.

Came here on a Wednesday morning, around 10:30am, and to my surprise there were no customers at all. I've always been coming here since I was in elementary school so their thai tea and donuts is nostalgia for me! I highly recommend their BLT if you're looking to satisfy any salty food craving or just are hungry. They do NOT skimp out on bacon at all haha. This was 13.04 as of April 10, 2024 (they charge 50 cents for the cheese bagel, but I'm simply a kid with a job who doesn't pay rent so I could "afford" it. (Not to mention prices after covid + living in SF so don't be alarmed by it) All the workers are lovely and greet you with a smile, even when it's busy, they'll still serve you without any attitude at all, sweetest folks ever, and please pay them a visit! Also give their blended green tea a try, it tastes like a milk tea slushie kinda, 5/5 if you love sweet stuff!

Simply the best little doughnut shop in the Richmond District, offering friendly service with a fresh selection, and extremely flavorful doughnuts that melt in your mouth. It's mainly a to-go spot due to size.

Cute donut shop on Clement. No frills! Easy to order, busy at lunch! Make them ready to go and have lots of sandwich options. Bagel was good, not as toasted as I liked but it got the job done! I think my sandwich cost $10.50. Lots of bagel selection to choose from. Would come back!

I was running errands in the neighborhood and came across All Star Donuts. They've been around forever. Dropped by and picked up three chocolate old fashions. The case has an abundance of goodies. They know they will sell out their wares before the end of the day. Donut was fresh. Didn't taste oily and the chocolate wasn't runny. That was usually a problem with Safeway. The donuts cost more than Safeway but less than those trendy donut places. Service was friendly. However they should have given me a bigger bag for the three donuts. The clerk just stuffed all three in a single pastry bag. Otherwise service was good. Store was old looking but clean. Would definitely come back whenever I'm in the neighborhood.

This place kills when you wake up on the weekend and realized you forgot to buy coffee. And you're starving and miss the glazed Munchkins of childhood.. But you also want a loaded Nova bagel dressed with capers, red onion tomato and sprouts.. AND your friend needs a ham and cheese croissant .. And you forgot how much you love Apple Fritters..

Quick, convenient, clean, and casual spot for an espresso, cold drink, and some pastries. The cinnamon rolls and other goodies looked too good to pass up-- the pastry shelf never lies! The espresso was quality, hot, and came with friendly service and smiles :) The massive cinnamon roll, single espresso, and San Pellegrino was about $8.50 which I thought was very reasonable, even affordable!

Awesome old school diner with ample seating . Offering every type of bagel sandwich and one of the best lox bagels around. Ample portions and large bagels . Very nice and efficient staff . Can get rather noisy at times so probably not the best reading spot . All soft drinks are available and sold by bottle also the bagel selection is pretty impressive. Highly recommended..

Definitely a no frills donut shop with delicious donuts! There's indoor seating but it feels more like a pick up and enjoy your food/drinks on the go vibe. I tried their maple bacon donut and it was heavenly. So fresh, pillowy and perfect for when you can't decide between savory or sweet. Can't wait to come back and try more flavors!

Excellent service and food! Ordered blt on croissant so fresh and delicious...Everyone in side gives excellent service - thank you!

One of the best donut shops in SF! We were in the Inner Richmond area in San Francisco and we made a quick stop here to get some donuts. While we are still in the pandemic stage and fighting COVID-19 everyone was supposed to be wearing a mask. I noticed that wearing masks are practiced widely in San Francisco than in our area in Placer County. We walked inside the little shop with our masks on and proceeded to choose our donuts. We walked out with a raised glazed, chocolate croissant and, for the hubby, a strawberry strudel. The glazed donut was so soft and fluffy. Pure bliss! The pleasure factor: the texture, the sweetness... thumbs up. And as if that wasn't enough sugar to get me over the top on the diabetic side I ate the chocolate croissant too. Delicious flaky puff pastry exterior with lots of chocolate in the center. I was good until dinner time. LoL Street parking. Review #1822

I took 4 dozen to my office the other day. Very first time I tried. They were very friendly, efficient, and clean environment. Including myself, lots of compliments how great their donuts were. Ube donuts is my favorite. Very tasty and moist. Will definitely go back again!

I love this place so much! I always come for their breakfast sandwiches and bagels. Super fresh, not all plasticy like that Starbucks crap () and affordable too! On top of that, all of the staff is just soo friendly and wonderful. Thankful for this place

Great product!!! They open so early and their products are super fresh and delicious! The glazed cinnamon twist are fabulous. I chose a combination of 12 donuts and croissants. The staff is really friendly and so helpful. This is the only place I will purchase my sweet treats! Great neighborhood donut destination.

"What if I'm not the hero? What if.. I'm the bad guy? Would you still love me?" -Edward Cullen (Twilight) Ahh ok I admit I love the Twilight Saga and All Star Donuts too! It's like walking onto the set of bizarro Cheers... here you have the cop, the taxi driver, the plumber, and the split-personality psycho lady in the corner talking to her five selves. And this list is only the morning regulars, pre-5am. It's 24/7 here! Located on Clement Ave. in the Inner Richmond District of San Francisco. Donuts are obviously the craze here, but as I eavesdrop the mod squad... the bagels are just as popular. Note to self as I love me a warm bagel. [insert] Since writing the above I've had a cream cheese bagel, and it was big w/ ginormous amounts of cream cheese. I've also had a breakfast sandwich (ok). Ahh warm donuts straight out of the donut maker. I've had my share of always fresh donuts (nothing fancy) - best ones are the standard mable bars, glazed, crumb. Coffee just ok. Prices are werewolf friendly too! If in the 'hood, I'd recommend All Star Donuts to all you night owls or teenage vampires with a sugar craving, yet I wouldn't go out of my way to get here. Its nothing glittery, just truly a 24/7 spot, so yes, the weirdos are out! The cop ended up telling the crazy woman to get out after she threatened the clerk with a plastic spoon! I just hid in the corner thinking "Oh geez!" Talk about weird. A great place for you;)

I was surprised at how good the bagel was ! They put lots of creme cheese and the veggies used are fresh ! It's a really good basic bagel when you are craving one ! No frills type of place for sure!

Be careful coming here because you'll find yourself thinking about this yummy place too much! 3rd time coming here since moving to the Richmond and It's clear they have returning customers which they know on name basis! Wonderful donut choices, lots of bagel sandwich choices and it looks like they also do coffee stuff. So happy I found this spot! Oh yeah, their staff is efficient and they are all so kind!

Open 24hrs and everything is delicious. Don't sleep on the sandwiches ! I love their BLT and their bacon egg and cheese

Great donuts and service - lovely little shop with great coffee and a good team behind the counter. I visited from East Tennessee - and will return again when I come to SF.

Hole in the wall!!! $13 for a dozen donuts - so worth it! They're also open to super late in the morning so if you need a late night munchie then this is am option. There's a bunch of donuts to choose from. The donuts were so yummy and very fluffy. Left impressed with the quality of the donuts. Loved it! Ordered: assorted donuts

This spot has great donuts . I like their glazed twist and their donuts in general.. I will try their sandwiches next time. Great service.

I just returned to All-Star and had their breakfast sandwich (English muffin, egg, bacon, ham) for the first time. This is just the best I've ever had--and for only $6.50. The customer service is exactly what we need to start our day. Unforgettable. And their fritters are still the best. In the world.

Anyone who reads my Yelp reviews knows the roommate and I have a doughnut problem. When we decided to run errands in the area, I figured it was the perfect opportunity to go to All Star Donuts. (Or maybe the perfect excuse?) We stopped by on Monday, December 11th around 12:45pm. *French Cruller *Old Fashioned *Custard Filled Chocolate Frosted Doughut Holes x2 *Maple Custard Filled Bar *Croissant I adored the custard filled donut holes. The perfect size when craving something sweet. (Since it's not a whole donut, it's kinda guilt free, right?) The custard was creamy and there was a good amount of it. Was wishing I bought more than two, but it was probably for the better. (Well, at least for my waistline anyways.) The cruller was okay. Kinda doughy instead of light and fluffy. I only got the bar cuz I love custard filled donuts. Otherwise, they can be a little to bready for me. The roommate wanted the other two items and seemed to enjoy them. I don't get to All Star Donuts much as it's not really around any other places I typically grab food. But those custard filled donut holes? I may just make a special stop for those! So good!

Occasionally pick up a box of doughnuts here on sunday. The giant fluffy doughnuts here are so much better than Krispy Kream. Great cinnamon twists too. Also the prices are cheap which is a plus.

Love to come here and grab a fresh Apple fritter they are well worth the price. Since they are about as big as your hand. The dough is always nice and fresh. It's great to enjoy with a nice good cup of coffee to get your day started off right

I've been coming here since I was super young. The donuts are ALWAYS FRESH! Good ham and cheese croissant as well. But the donuts mmm. I try to stay away but once in a while I'll come here and get a half of dozen of donuts just for myself. YES MYSELF! Ahaha. But in all seriousness it's good fast and fresh. Service could be a little better but all in all 9/10 one star away because service isn't great. tip to get a really fresh donut go at midnight they're so warm and delicious omg. DON'T WAIT! go go go!

The people making the donuts here at 1am in the morning are real ones. Bomb donuts and bomb service

All Star Donuts is my absolute favorite donut spot to go to in San Francisco!! I've been to a couple other donut shops in the city, but nothing compares to All Stars donuts. They always have a great selection of donuts and their hot chocolate is a must. Donuts are always fresh and soft, even when saved for the next morning (Most donuts go stale or hard next morning .. Not theirs!) Also, customer service is awesome every time, always friendly. However, I do miss them being 24 hours! I usually work late and loved stopping by for late night donut runs, but now they close at 5pm. Hoping this little gem goes back to 24 hours when Covid-19 regulations lift a little more! Other things to note is they have street parking (I always find parking right upfront, if not there is usually parking right across the street) and is located in the inner Richmond district. Overall, favorite donut shop in SF.

My favorite place to get an Apple fritter. My only compliant is the smell of cleaning solution and that is why I rate it 2 stars. They keep the mop bucket next to the coffee area so naturally the smell gets into the air. Sometimes the smell is too strong and that enough to leave without buying.

This is a no frills, neighborhood donut shop. Not particularly Instagram-able or "hipster", and with some interesting characters in the early AM hours. BUT don't let that deter you. The donuts are not only cheap, but also soo delicious. Better than Krispy Kreme ;) I love the donut holes! There are two type of donut holes - traditional glazed and cakey. The cake ones are denser and come in different flavors (chocolate), glazes, and toppings (powdered sugar, sprinkles, cinnamon sugar, etc.). I personally prefer the traditional glazed; they're light, fluffy, and perfectly sweet. And the best part is that they're just as delicious the next day!! They also serve Peetless coffee, bagels, muffins, and other baked goods. - - - $5 minimum for credit card. $1.25 for 5 donut holes $1.65 for 5 cake holes (these are more dense with sprinkles and different flavors)

Just a friendly neighborhood donut joint. Great fritters and turnovers. It is a real place-no pretension or fanfare. Not much of a wait for service typically.

24/7 donuts, what else needs to be said. We happened upon this cool little corner donut shop on a recent stay over in the area. It was a little after 8pm when we saw the lights on as we approached the corner. The smell of donuts fills the air as you walk in - that sugar meets baked and fried dough... This is a very small shop with a small display window case but it's loaded with all kinds of great options. I got a few in a bag to go - buttermilk plains, blueberry old fashioned, chocolate glazed and maple curlers - my bag was complete. The fritters looked great though I did not try one and there were multiples of other choices and options in the cases. All my selections were very good to really good and if I'm in the area again plan to make it a stop. 4 stars - 24/7 donuts 00427

Although their hours of operation have changed, I still appreciate this donut shop for its nostalgia and old school charm. I used to work late nights in the neighborhood and it wouldn't be a surprise to catch tipsy bartenders, servers, and sommeliers- eyes shut with a #25 Turkey, Bacon, Egg and cheese mid bite. I stopped by recently this afternoon after years of absence to fulfill my crumb donut craving and received such friendly service! I opened my small white paper bag to find a nice surprise of donut holes along with my order! Thank you so much for making me smile today! Don't sleep on All stars donuts!!

#70/2016 Great selection of donuts and featuring Peerless coffee, this donut shop is a respite from the busy market stretch of Clement Street. Yeah, the seating and flooring could use a refresh but it's clean as are all other surfaces of the store (cannot say the same about other All-Star Donut shops like on South Van Ness, cough cough). Service was friendly and prices, inexpensive except for juice drinks ($1.50 for a Capri Sun?) All in all, a solid shop.

This is what getting donuts used to be like in the 70s before that overly-sugared Krispy Kreme drive-thru nonsense started up. I absolutely adore this place and aggressively hope they never stop doing what they're doing because it's perfect.

I CANNOT STRESS HOW UNDERRATED THIS PLACE IS!! The best doughnuts I've had. In. My. Life. And I've eaten a lot of them! The texture of the doughnuts are great, sure, sugary and soft and like biting into a pillow, but the flavor of the fillings and creams are out of this world. I love the maple stick or whatever it's called. Amazing maple flavor, and I have not tasted great maple flavor from anywhere that isn't Vermont or Canada! I also got a Vietnamese Iced Coffee here once and it was so good too! Definitely a hole in the wall that everyone needs to go to. The Richmond has such gems, and this is one of them!

There used to be nights when I'd stop by her for a sweet after work. This was circa 8 years ago when I was a mild-mannered late-shift dog walker. Doughnut stores definitely satisfy you when you're working late; they were more popular back in the 1980's. Nowadays, there's Starbucks, Peet's Coffee and whatnot... I'd even stop by mornings after leaving a dog from work at the groomers. Of course, that started happening in 2015.
