Top of the Hill

The fresh smell of Donut is a dream come true! You can count with Top of the Hill for good quality pastries, once you try one, you will want to come back for more. 🍩🤍

After completing the Lake Merced loop, we were craving donuts and unfortunately went to George's on West Portal based on the recent hype (don’t go there). Since it was lunch time, they only had donut holes and were a 15-minute ready-to-order wait. No thanks. Went to yelp to find a no frills donut shop nearby and thanks to great yelpers, we landed at Top of the Hill Cafe and were not disappointed. And by no frills, I mean that in the best way. There are things in life that are better enjoyed in the simplest form: burgers, bloody marys and yes, donuts. Right away, the pink striped boxes in the window were a clear sign that this shop knows their donuts. It's a small place, but very clean and with some seats if you want to sit and enjoy. Their donut selection is very good, there is something for everyone's taste. The donut that completely blew us away: THE CRUNCH DONUT. Wow. It is guaranteed the best most unforgettable donut we've had in a long time. Tastes like something served in an expensive place with 10x the markup. But hey, $2 for a donut here is the real deal. Cannot wait to get a dozen crunch donuts next time. Super impressed at this local gem. Support them!!

I have been here many times mainly when I am craving for a doughnut or when I am in the area where I am in need of a quick bite. They have a wide selection of fresh doughnuts made daily, sandwiches, coffee, refrigerated drinks and much more. The staffs here are very welcoming, well trained and understanding where I never had encountered an issue during any of my visits. You can dine in at one of their tables or simply purchase for takeout if you decide to. I have to say this place is a plus, because there are little to none doughnut shops within the area. I highly recommend this place to all doughnut enthusiasts, if you need a quick snack for the morning of if you just so happen to be in the area. I definitely will be back to tryout the other delicious options they have to offer.

The very nice lady behind the counter slipped in a few extra doughnuts for me. Kindness like this has gained a customer for life. Thank you!! The BEST service a doughnuts in SF

2026: My stomach wasn't quite full from eating at a nearby cafe. Top of the Hill Cafe has one of the best selection of breakfast sandwiches in this area. My order was an egg cheese croissant $8.75. It came out within five minutes. Good job staff at Top of the Hill Cafe. 2022: Top of the Hill Cafe is a spacious old fashion doughnut shop. It is too bad they only have a few tables because the cafe is good for reading a book. It is bright and quiet like a library. I had their sausage egg croissant sandwich $7.50 and a large coffee $3 (no refills). The sandwich was oily and tasted great. The coffee wasn't bad. I will come back to try their doughnuts.
