Hahdough

About

Hahdough is San Francisco's only authentic German bakery, founded by chef and owner Ha Do. Born in Vietnam and raised in Germany, Ha Do moved to San Francisco over a decade ago with a dream of opening a bakery that brought the traditional cakes and pastries of her German upbringing to the city. After building a devoted following at farmers' markets, she opened her first storefront on Fell Street in March 2020. Her Berliner donuts — seasonal jam and custard-filled, fried in sunflower seed oil for a light, fluffy texture, and topped with fine powdered sugar — are ranked by German expats as some of the most authentic outside of Deutschland. The bakery also features stunning Black Forest cakes, tortes, and pretzels.
