In the midst of shutting down their Hayes Valley shop last month, Johnny Doughnuts was already on the move in securing a new location. Word around town is that they will take over the former Smitten Ice Cream space at 2404 California St. They expect to open in late summer.
“We’re so excited to bring our Johnny Doughnuts family to Pacific Heights. This vibrant neighborhood is such a wonderful representation of the diverse San Francisco food culture and its rich history. We look forward to meeting our new neighbors while continuing to serve San Francisco for many years to come,” owner Craig Blum said in a statement obtained by Eater SF.
Blum founded Johnny Doughnuts in 2012, inspired by a deep passion for doughnuts that pays homage to the pastry’s history and personality. Using recipes developed from classic doughs of the 1920s, Johnny Doughnuts creates flavors based on local in-season ingredients.
Their doughnuts are handmade fresh every day and sold at stores in San Rafael, Santa Rosa, and at the Marin Country Mart. For more information, visit www.johnnydoughnuts.com.
