Now Someone's Written a Children's Book About SF's Famed Bob's Donuts
Briefly

Bob's Donuts, a 65-year-old family-owned establishment in San Francisco, has recently become the focus of a children's book about a dog and squirrel seeking donuts. After relocating to 1720 Polk Street due to landlord issues and coping with a tragic incident involving a baker, the shop has embraced community engagement. Author Leah Wolfe Hearst created the book after her children frequently requested Bob's Donuts. A unique donut design contest held in conjunction with the book led to a real donut called 'Taste of Clouds' being added to their menu.
Bob's Donuts has been immortalized in a new children's book featuring a dog and squirrel on a quest for donuts, reflecting the shop's community spirit.
Leah Wolfe Hearst's inspiration for the book arose from her young children’s desire for Bob's Donuts each morning, creating a clever narrative around it.
A donut design contest linked to the book led to the creation of 'Taste of Clouds,' a special donut now available at Bob's Donuts.
Bob's Donuts has navigated challenges in the past year, including relocating and supporting an injured staff member, while enhancing their community engagement.
