If you have ever had SPARKYS at Universal City in Hollywood then you know how good these taste.
They make them fresh to order and they are nice and hot when you get them!
They are fluffy and coated with sugar cinnamon.
Trust me when I say just get the bucket because the little bag will vanish especially if you're sharing ;)
If you're at pier 39 then I highly recommend trying these little golden donuts. You won't regret it.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - 15 Jun 2024Updated review
We always come here, especially when we're by the Embarcadero or by the pier when we eat at fisherman's wharf me and my girlfriend always get the 12 mini donuts. It's always always filling if you're hungry you can shoot for 24 which is $13.
The service here is very fast and quick and also do you have a nice view of the pier which gives it a great ambienceHelpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 021 Mar 2023Previous reviewLove this spot the service is super fast and quick me and my girlfriend had date night last night and we went to In N Out and also got Trishs mini doughnuts in the souvenir cup.

Trish's donuts is a must have after lunch or exploring Pier 39. Freshly made in front of your eyes. Comes out hot with sprinkles of sugar all over. There's always room for desserts for us haha. We did not get the bucket but got a dozen. It was nice and hot. We finished almost all of it while walking around.
Highly recommend to make a stop and pick up some!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - 11 Aug 2024
Basic little mini donuts and a good snack to have handy. The donuts are made fresh and dusted in sugar and cinnamon. They're great for on the go.

This is a must get when you're visiting the pier!
The weather was super windy and cold and these mini donuts come out fresh and hot! I love how the donuts come out so small, fluffy and completely covered in sugar! They're so cute and tiny and fun to eat!
Service was super fast! We ordered 2 bags and they only took a couple minutes to come out!Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Phillip M.San Francisco, United States876812 Sept 2024

While in San Francisco for a work trip, my friend and tour guide took us by this delicious little donut shop along Pier 39!! It's just a walk up window and the line moved really quickly. You get this cute little mini donuts and they are cooked fresh and really hit the spot. It was a breezy day and I welcomed the hot donuts! I highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area. Nice sweet treat as you walk along and sight see!

As tourists of course we had to stroll through pier 39. So many food options, so we decided to make a little food tour. One of our stops was Trish's mini donuts! They're small and delicious. They were so soft and stayed soft for hours too. That's key to a good donut! They can be dangerous tho. Be careful how many you eat!

Trish's mini donuts is a must every time I'm in SF and in the mood for a dessert snack. It's located inside Pier 39, just a few min walk away from the drop off area. So worth it!

Happened to stumble upon this booth while walking around Pier 39 and it was delicious! My boyfriend and I were snacking on these as we were walking around the pier and finished a dozen after like 10 minutes! So delicious and definitely recommend if you are looking for a sweet treat at Pier 39.
