Gigantic apple fritters and classic donuts, open 24 hours
"Who said donuts were only for breakfast and in-office team meetups? Bob’s Donuts on Polk Street is open 24 hours a day, every day—which comes in handy when you’re closing down Harper and Rye, or some other nearby bar at 2am and need to munch on something. Go plain glazed donut—they're puffy and amazing. But odds are the super dense maple buttermilk bar, or the sprinkled mega donut the size of your face will call to you." - julia chen 1, lani conway, ricky rodriguez, patrick wong
"Bob’s Donuts on Polk Street in Nob Hill fries up incredible classic glazed donuts and apple fritters, all day, every day. Which is great news if you love donuts more than your pet (if so, please consider getting their “giant donut” and taking "The Challenge"). And, cool fact: This 24-hour spot has been churning out puffy, airy classics since the 1960s. Head to Bob’s newer location in NoPa if you’re in the area (though, it’s only open until 9pm)." - julia chen 1, lani conway, ricky rodriguez, patrick wong
"You're going out to one of the many bars on Polk Street with your visitor, so chances are high that you'll need a refuel at some point. Bob's Donuts is the place to be. Open 24-hours, this donut spot is where to satisfy your pastry sweet tooth, whether it’s the hazy end of the evening or broad daylight. You can’t go wrong with the classic glazed or the syrupy maple—or really, just go for the apple fritter if you want something that'll last you for the many messy blocks ahead—it’s that big." - julia chen 1, lani conway, ricky rodriguez, patrick wong
"There’s usually a short line at this 24-hour shop, but depending on when you go, Bob’s Donuts could be filled with families looking for a snack or people getting something to eat after Harper & Rye locks its doors. Go plain classic donut if you want something simple—they’re puffy and amazing—but odds are you’re like most everyone else waiting in line and want a maple buttermilk bar or an apple fritter instead." - julia chen 1, patrick wong, lani conway
"Bob’s Donuts in SF is open for 24 hours and has been frying up incredible classic glazed donuts and apple fritters since the 1960s. The giant, footlong donut is something extra special: get it with chocolate frosting, crumbs, sprinkles, or maple, and ask yourself if you’d like to participate in their three-minute challenge. There’s a whole leaderboard of people who have eaten this thing in under two minutes (shout out to James S.), but if you don’t want to find yourself in a makeshift episode of Man Vs. Food, the regular-sized glazed and apple fritters are more than worthy of a visit." - carlo mantuano, team infatuation
