Grand Mission Donuts & Bakery sits right on Mission Street and captures the essence of a neighborhood bakery doing its own thing without fuss or pretense. This spot is best known for a solid lineup of donuts and traditional Chinese baked goods, making it a go-to for locals who want fresh, straightforward treats paired with a quick coffee.

The vibe here is quietly inviting, with a simple, clean interior punctuated by bright red and yellow awning that stands out on a busy street. It’s the kind of place where you might pop in after a morning walk at Dolores Park or grab a sandwich to-go before heading to work. The owner and staff are familiar faces to regulars, often engaging with guests in genuine conversation—that adds to the comfort for people who want quick service without the rush or hassle.

Menu-wise, the bakery offers an array of donuts—from classic cake and glazed varieties to a few filled options that tend to sell out early. The apple fritters and ham & cheese buns combine the sweetness and savoriness that reflect the bakery’s Chinese-American roots. Besides sweets, they carry simple lunch sandwiches like BLTs and tuna on freshly baked French bread rolls, which makes it a useful spot for a low-key midday bite.

Grand Mission shines most during weekday mornings or early afternoons when the aroma of fresh doughnuts blends with the mellow hum of the neighborhood. If you’re the type who prefers no-frills quality and a bit of community familiarity, this is the kind of place that fits naturally into a daily rhythm, rather than demanding a special occasion visit.

Visitors looking for airy, light doughnut holes or classic cinnamon rolls will find affordable options here that outshine many pricier competitors around the city. Whether grabbing a coffee and apple fritter post-tennis or stocking up on pineapple buns for a casual snack, this bakery rewards those who appreciate straightforward flavors done consistently well.

Classic mom and pop Chinese bakery. The jalapeño ham and cheese roll was delicious. Freshly baked chewy dough, spicy, savory and balanced. Filling to roll ratio was perfect. Lady working at counter was nice, easy in and out. No frills quality baked goods.

Had a ham and cheese pastry and got my kids chocolate glaze. Also got myself some doughnut holes because... It's vacation right?!?! The doughnut holes were the best I've ever had. I've never put something so airy and fluffy in my mouth. Price was also great after a week of high SF prices. You will love this place. I sure did. No frills but all the best flavors!

A true neighborhood cafe - this means friendly service where the owner recognizes the patrons and genuinely asks about their day; loved the glazed donut, and the drip coffee; I went here after tennis at Delores Park . I like the red and yellow canopy with white lettering! Cafe is cozzy , well lit, clean, well maintained. Wonderful murals near this cafe. Great owner / manager ; also loved the effigies of Cambodian gods inside this place.

I loved it!! Very SCRUMPTIOUS!! Had me one of the best apple fritters ever. I LOVE ZEE FRITTERS!! This lil'donut shop even carries already made sandwiches. So instead of making a sandwich for lunch you can pick one up here before work. They make a variety of them here like a B.L.T, or a Tuna sandwich.All bread,pastries,donuts and coffee served very fresh. It's also THE favorite place of mine to quickly pick up a hot cup of columbian coffee and a strawberry doughnut on the way home in the morning. But best of all are the freshly baked rolls they make here that are so soft and amazing. Ill grab a half dozen before going home as well so I can have fresh bread rolls for lunch and saving a couple for dinner is a perfect delight.

Cake donuts, maple filled donuts apple pastries. Get there they run out of filled donuts fast. The guy service us was fast and it's worth to go early and get your filled eclair donuts. Before they run out! I'd recommend my friends definitely.

A bakery selling a variety of Western baked goods like donuts and dinner loaves. I really like their pre-made sandwiches. If you're buying less than $10, it's cash only.
