Hunt's Donuts, 2400 Mission at 20th. Everybody knows that cops love all-night donut shops, washing down greasy donuts with bad coffee. In San Francisco, Hunt's Donuts served those on the other side of the law. Here you could be offered everything from drugs to stolen bikes to long-distance credit-card numbers. Hunt's was sold to a franchise donut/Chinese food company in 1995 and lost some of its former ambience, but does still sell donuts 25 hours a day!
