Doughnut Vault Donut Shop ·$$

Located in San Francisco's River North district, the Doughnut Vault has grown to famous for their fluffy dough treats. Their glazed donuts sell like hot cakes everyday, which is one of the reasons behind getting there early. The item that is in most demand on their menu is the Chestnut Glazed donut which sells out really quickly and is a customer favorite. So get there soon for your fluffy glazed dough.
