To find George’s Donuts & Merriment in West Portal, you just need to follow the steady pilgrimage of pink-box-toting customers and the wafts of sweet dough. This daytime cafe specializes in—of course—several types of donuts alongside plenty of wines and beers (the “merriment”). While there’s a tight selection of solid savory items like sandwiches and salads, you should be locked in on the donuts. The brioche versions are the best, but the daily hour-long lines means they do sell out fast, so get there early or ask for a doctor’s note that says you’re medically required to have key lime pie donuts at all times. While most people grab their fried dough to go, we suggest sticking around—the bright, airy space with natural light, high ceilings, and exposed brick cutouts is perfect for lingering. Plus, the fried-to-order donut holes with chocolate fudge dipping sauce are a dine-in-only perk.
