Glaze Donuts

I always come here if i’m waiting for the 52 to bring me up the hill towards home. The elderly lady owner is very nice and their food is never stale nor old. Their doughnuts are great. They have bagel sandwiches and wonderful smoothies. An open secret is they sell chow mein which is sooooooo good!!!
They do not accept cc. They have an atm inside. Their place is small with individual window seats (the windows are large and clear with great view of the street) and 3 or so small tables for 1 or 2 people.
I give them a 4 since they’re a great addition to the excelsior neighborhood. There are other donut shops with more unique donuts and food so if you’re not in the neigborhood, i wouldn’t go out of my way to come here, but if you’re in the neighborhood and want somewhere to have a nibble near the bus stop and want a great view of the outside, come by. Warning — it gets full on weekday mornings up to 11am, so a better time/​day to come is weekends and weekday afternoons/​nights. They’re open for a VERY LONG TIME from morning to late night MUCH LATER than the rest of the neighborhood so if you’re looking to stay in the excelsior neighborhood and want to go out to a late night place with a friend, this is it.

this lil donut shop is great i bring my kids in every morning for a bagle and after school for egg rolls. the customer service is wonderful

When I used to work around the Mission, I would always stop by this little gem to grab their freshly made avocado or carrot shake. At first, I thought they wouldn’t be «fresh» but I was wrong. The lady over the counter start to scoop fresh avocados right into the blender. As I write this review, I could taste that fresh and delicious avocado shake!

this little family owned shop is a gem.
hands down sweetest, most genuine people and service. they call me by name and ask how I am every time I see them.
AND they make really great bagel sandwiches /​house made donuts!

I’ve been coming to this store for around a little more than 10 years, I remember begging my parents if me and my siblings could get some donut holes before we go to school (I went to Monroe Elementary School, which was only about 3 blocks away.) I remember the owners being super kind and would even give us a few pieces of candy here and there. But when I graduated elementary school and started going off to Middle School and High School, I wouldn’t come here as often. Everytime I would walk into the doors of Glaze Donuts, I would be greeted with a warm welcoming. The owners would recognize me and my brother (my sister went off to college) and they would compliment us on how much we’ve grown and matured. I love this place especially because of the kind service, the affordable prices, and the delicious donuts. I hope I can bring my kids here one day and hopefully share the same experience I had when I was a kid. I would often stop by once in a while to pick up a donut and everytime my mouth would start to water when I would walk through the door. I hope this place will be open forever.

Place is small, and cramped during breakfast and lunch. Good thing I almost always get hit by my donut/​bagel craving at night.
Their food is tasty and inexpensive, with a wide variety to choose from, though if you’re looking for anything vegan, you might wanna try somewhere else. From what I understand this place has been around for ages, and is clearly a staple in the community.
Not the best milk tea I’ve ever had but I really like how soft their boba is every time I get it. Hours great with the sibs: d

I was looking for the kind of donuts you drool about when you were a kid. I found them at Glaze Donuts.
Super friendly staff. Good donuts. Good coffee. It’s close to my house. I’ll definitely be back to try the bagels!

Donuts are ok, coffee is ok. Still, I think the best donuts in the hood are at Safeway… which isn’t saying much. Nice owners, at least.

I really liked my experience here. The woman at the counter was very polite and made sure I had napkins, water, etc. The food itself was just okay, but when you order 4 things for $ 7 I’m not sure what you should expect. This place opens super early and is right on the way to my new job. I could definitely see myself becoming a regular here!

The owners are great with their regulars! The coffee and donuts are Excellent!!. They bake donuts Fresh every morning!!. I love the way they maintain the food case windows clean and sanitized!!. I will pay the extra bucks knowing they do that!
The only flaw it is a small dive so expect a lot of congestion in a tiny aisle especially in the early morning hours. Wait time could be long. So be patient with the workers!!.

This is a great donut spot located in the excelsior! Other shops don’t offer the variety this place offers. I personally like to order an iced coffee along with one of their breakfast bagels, which include fresh vegetables, meat, bacon, egg and your choice of cheese! They also sell egg rolls and chow neon. The noodles are pretty decent! Not bag, pretty big portion for $ 3. Great for on the go snack or breakfast! Breakfast bagels range from 4 – 7 dollars but are a LOT better than some mom and pop shops close by. Not bad for the location and its prices.

The service at this local shop is what makes it 5 stars. The staff is really friendly, polite, and they even memorize their customers’ names. I love the variety of sandwiches, coffee, and drinks they have. My only suggestion is that they start to add sauces to their sandwiches to make them a little more moist. They’re still delicious though!

I really like this place. Wonderful Donuts & Pastries, they are making fresh every day.
It’s their Family’s, Mrs. 周 Shu & her daughter’s family homemade.
One day in rainy day, I slipped at their entrance. But, I found renewer entrance, next
day. They took away some flooring & placed built in no slip Mat. How clever decision
they made. Sometime, I enjoy their nice Hazel nut Coffee & Pastries.
I will recommend to especially who likes Donuts. I think their Donuts is No. 1 in the
world. It is even Dreamy ! Also, so many variety of Bagel Sandwiches.

This place is great and so inexpensive. You can get your breakfast fix without breaking the bank. Just beware they don’t take credit cards but they DO have an atm inside. The staff are very friendly and smiling every time I come. They have a wide selection on food and drinks.

A breakfast sandwich can either make it or break it for me & this place knows how to make a BREHFASS sandwich.
It’s a one stop shop from candy, donuts, sandwiches, egg rolls, chow mein, boba, & SCRATCHERS! They make their own bagels too and everyone is nice.
Def a gem in the excelsior.

Love it, love it, love it. My go-​to for morning bagel sandwiches, shakes, coffee, donuts, and if I wanted to munch on egg rolls while playing the lotto, this would be my pick also. Service always polite and friendly, clean tables and food area. This is the kind of no frills local joint that’s disappearing way too fast in the city.

I have tried one of their donuts (forgot which kind), croissants, egg rolls, and english muffin sandwiches.
I don’t care for the first 3 items, but I regularly purchase their egg, cheese (choice of cheddar, american, swiss, and pepper jack) and sausage on english muffin for $ 3.58 after tax (that’s how much it costs at the time of this review). It is really yummy.
Sometimes I get bacon (also good, crispy) instead of sausage and it costs a little bit more, but I forget the price.
I noticed today they also have a salad option that looks like salad with chicken (grilled?) on it. I may have to try it sometime.
They sell lottery tickets and scratchers as well, and have cup o noodles, muffins, and hot and cold sandwiches.
Their hours are convenient. I don’t know what time they open but when I pass by at 7:30am, they are always open already. And today, I asked what time they close. The woman said 11:30pm.
Great option if you want a quick bite. Cash only.

The breakfast sandwiches are great.
Some of these coffee shops take shortcuts like cooking eggs in the microwave. I’m pretty sure Glaze Donut actually fries their eggs on the griddle. And most of them include lettuce and tomato which adds a little freshness.
The donuts are A-​OK. Nothing special but good.
The coffee is kinda bad. I’m pretty sure it’s low-​grade food service stuff. And the ketchup and hot sauce are typical of this type of place (1000 years old, refilled since the beginning of time).
The prices are good and they’re fast.

Glaze Donuts occupied a corner spot, great visibility. the donut counter
occupied most of the open space.
pour: superior and sara lee coffee. passed
eats: sugar french crueller (1.10)
–texture not egg puff quality, tab soggy, not firm.
–other donuts on the smaller size.
crumbs:
–small shop, cramped feeiing. only a few tables
–donut review only, didn’t look at rest of offerings
–looks like family operation.
–donut operation definitely old style.

YES finally a boba place near my house! No more driving to San Mateo for Tpumps. maybe! ;)
I was in the Mission one day and I saw all these people holding these tapioca drinks. After asking around, they all directed me to Glaze Donuts. Wtf right? A donut shop selling boba drinks? Say it ain’t so! Glaze Donuts is definitely a mom and pop shop that sells not only donuts, but they also have a wide array of sandwiches, coffee drinks, and boba drinks! I ordered the cantaloupe milk tea, came back for a mango milk tea for my grandpa, and came back to try their thai iced tea. Yeah, I was hooked!
The cantaloupe milk tea — definitely has that strong cantaloupe flavor. It was very sweet and refreshing! Yes, it is powder based, but what milk tea isn’t powder based right?
The mango milk tea — sweeter than the cantaloupe and had a hint of mango taste.
The thai milk tea — good, but not on Quickly’s or Teaway’s level.
Their boba is also nice and chewy which is a plus. The people running the shop are so cute and already know me by face after two days an four visits lol. If you want something a little more refreshing, definitely try out their tapioca drinks! Small is $ 2.99 and large is .50 more. Highly recommend if you’re in the area! Parking can be difficult though!
