“I'll start off by saying yes, this does taste just as good as it looks. I'm so glad I gave this place a shot. It was super eye catching and looked like a very unique take on ice cream. Their flavors and pastries are all hand crafted from what I could tell and it shows because they taste amazing. Everything I had was absolutely delicious and I'll definitely be coming back. When we went, there was only one person working so be prepared to wait but I promise that it's worth it. I will say next time I'll probably go with a regular scoop because I feel like I got less ice cream than my girlfriend who didn't get the bun. The bun however, was very flavorful and wasn't too thick, which I appreciated. Also if you get a bun, it does melt and get messy which is to be expected so be prepared for that. Overall, absolutely love this place and would highly suggest to any ice cream enjoyer.“

“I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE Uncle Benny's! The very first time I ordered from here, Charlie made it a point to ask for my name and actually remembered my name 2 weeks later when I came back! He also introduced me to his team Lily and Lynn (or Linh)! They made me feel so welcomed and that's why I go to them and have told many people I come across about them. They wake up at 3am to make their various homemade bagels and cream cheese. My favorite combo so far has been the pesto bagel with sun dried tomato cream cheese. Their Vietnamese coffee is really good too. Overall, EVERYTHING is good! This mom & pop store is a must if you're in the area or even in SF in general!“

“I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE this place! AHHHHHHHHHHHH!! Krispy Kreme who? These donuts are beyond words of delicious and delightful. I drive from the East Bay usually late night when my husband and I are craving phenomenal donuts. The donuts are extremely fresh, the times I've been here there has been an older gentleman making them and racks of donuts ready to be bought. Yummmmmmm. Just incredible tasty donuts. You can tell the oil they get made in is also very fresh, no after taste of old oil. Donuts are not super greasy. The service is magnificent! The first time coming here the woman was extremely helpful and kind. The second time a young man helped us and he had a great personality and energy. He was telling us some of the stories of the donut place. Really enjoyed his service! The ambiance is an old school donut shop with closed off seating area but looks very vintage. Grab and go type of donut shop right on Polk St. RECOMMEND THIS PLACE 100% :)“

“I still give this place five stars for their gluten free baked goods and take home lasagna but overall four stars because their service still sucks most of the time. I went by here recently on a Sunday morning before a meeting to grab something hot to eat. I love their hot pockets. However, it was 9:30 am. A number of people around me and I started to form a line. Some people asked the staff questions about the pastries and they answered while putting stuff out. None of the staff thought to tell us that they didn't open until 10 am on Sundays. After about 5 minutes of being ignored, I saw the small sign for their hours. I pointed it out to others and we all left. That was a horrible experience as I was hungry and now didn't have time to get something else before my meeting. On Pi Day, I came by and was pleased they had a number of pies available in different sizes. I picked up a small Chocolate Pie that was low in sugar and a small Cherry Pie. They were the perfect size for the three of us though they could have fed more people. We didn't finish the pies ourselves. The Chocolate Pie was yummy and perfect for me but my husband said it wasn't sweet enough for him. We all loved the Cherry Pie! We went back recently and picked up their pizza dough. It came with two rounds. They were awesome!!! We put on our own toppings and popped them into the oven. They came out delicious. I love their food. I just wish the service was better.“

“This is my absolute favorite diner anywhere on earth. And for so many reasons.1. Atmosphere: is it a bar? A diner? A pinball machine warehouse? A little bit of all this things, really. Cozy, weird, and vaguely threatening, there isn't any risk that you'll be outclassed by your surroundings. More likely, you'll find yourself wanting to stay well after you're done eating. And no one will be rushing you to leave.2. Service: i was better attended than in most of the "better" restaurants I've been to, and Pamela actually boxed my leftovers for me. Love that!!3. Food: perfectly simple, simply perfect. Pancakes were incredible.“

They have a few tables and chairs to enjoy your food and drinks there as well. I got a regular coffee, which I enjoyed, but the star of the show was the donut. I had the lemon poppy seed donut, which is one of their seasonal options. The flavors were great and I particularly liked that it wasn't too sweet. The donuts are small but hefty and it made the perfect snack. They also have vegan and gluten free regular and seasonal options, making this place super accessible for everyone.“

“I saw this shop on an IG reel and wanted to try because I love sourdough and donuts. It was the best of both worlds. I came to the shop on Friday the 22nd around 2:15 pm. I got the cheesecake, lemon meringue, and blueberry. The cheesecake flavor wasn't for me because it was a little bit sweet. I liked the filling of the lemon and the meringue. For the blueberry donut, the blueberry goes well with the lime on top. All of the donuts base were really fluffy and light. I ate the blueberry the next day and the donut was still fluffy. I enjoyed the sourdough donuts and would definitely come back to try their other flavors.“

“This place is AWESOME! Being vegan, I asked what was available. I was told the plain cake donut, the sugar donut and the crumb donut were all vegan! I grabbed a crumb and sugar and they blew me away. Absolutely wonderful. My partner, who is not vegan, got an egg and cheese sandwich that was HUGE and delicious! We also shared a lemonade that was the perfect balance of sweet and sour. I can not recommend this place enough. If not for the food, then for the excellent service. Definitely needs to be a stop when visiting San Fran:)“

“There isn't a more ubiquitous food than donuts. Everyone has their own preferences and memories attached to really good donuts, or the routine of getting them, either as an adult or kid. Sure there are fancy, pseudo gourmet donuts places that charge you absurd amounts for 87 cents worth of ingredients, but nothing beats an old school donut shop. Everyone has their favorite, and for this place to do so well while just down the street from Bob's speaks to the quality of their product. Sours are hearty and very reasonably priced, and best of all, really delicious. I fancy myself an apple fritter aficionado and theirs was magnificent.“

“Growing up in Houston, my family constantly went to donut shops, but we never got donuts: always pigs in a blanket with cheese and jalapeños, or maybe ham and cheese. We called them kolaches; the Czech people who made them big in Houston called them klobasneks. This spot really does the trick. Places that are cheap like this are a dying breed. Thank God there's a spot in the Mission I can get a small bit of hot food in under 5 minutes.“

“Hahdough offers a range of sweet and savory baked goods in a small takeout stand in Hayes. All of the options were authentic and not too sweet. The berliners are perfectly light and airy, with custard filling with just a touch of sweetness. The seasonal one with fresh strawberries is a perfect combination of the airy donut, lightly sweet custard, and fresh slices of juicy fruit. The strawberry jam one is packed with tart jam and really brings the flavor. The Black Forest cake is authentic in that it has that chocolate richness with the added flavor of cherry kirsch, but the texture is light and uplifting rather than heavy. All of the pastries that I've tried have a satisfying flake and distinct layers, and aren't too sweet. The pretzel sandwiches (both ham and mozzarella) options are small but delicious, with the pretzel roll itself so light and chewy, and with fresh and tasty fillings. Overall highly recommend if you're in the area! Just be prepared to take these to go since there's no seating“

They were also accommodating when I asked for no noodles -- so, I got extra soup. It comes with 4 halves of meatballs (yum!), nice amount of beef slices (they provide spicy and hoisin sauce packets, which makes for great dipping sauce for the beef), tripe was tasty with great texture (slight crunch, not tough), healthy amount of sprouts.“
