Bob's Donuts & Pastry Shop

About

Bob's Donuts is a San Francisco institution and one of the most celebrated donut shops in the country. Established in 1953, the family-owned shop has been operated by the Ahn family since 1977. The legendary Polk Street location is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, making it a go-to for late-night crowds, bar crawlers, and early risers alike. Bob's is famous for 'The Challenge' — eat a massive glazed donut the size of your head and win a free donut, drink, and t-shirt. Designated an official SF Legacy Business, the shop has been featured in documentaries, TV shows, and countless 'best of' lists.
