Hanford,
Are you looking for SF area only? Here in So Cal there's several unique donut shops with their own personality.

Some Examples:


Randy's Donuts - Inglewood, CA
Established in 1953. Randy's Donuts is a classic example of mid 20th Century Los Angeles architecture where the building is shaped like the product sold within. It is located at Manchester Avenue in Inglewood, about a mile from the L.A. airport. A recent paint job has turned the giant donut into the plain cake variety. However, it is often coated with white icing, compliments of the many pigeons who use it as a choice rendezvous for avian amour.


The Donut Hole - La Puente, CA
The Donut Hole was built in 1968 and has a drive-thru tunnel between two 26' fiberglass donuts. It was designed by local architect E. Forestal and is the surviving member of a five-unit chain in Southern California. It is open, 24 hours a day

Roadside Peek has a page dedicated to these two Donut themed landmarks here:
