Ugur KanerJune 28, 2014You might think this is a take away spot. Don't let that mistake you. Grab a coffee, take the door next to the bar and go all the way back to find the white door, which will lead you to a cute patio.
All the donuts are amazing. Maple Glazed Bacon, Orange Glaze and Chocolate Star Anise are my faves. The Four Barrel coffee here is the best on the street (don't tell Philz I said that).
Shannon ZSeptember 9, 2016The gluten-free doughnuts have good texture and flavor - they rotate the flavors. The backyard patio is a SF secret, perfect quiet place to work if it's not too sunny. Good coffee here too!
Erik CintronApril 27, 2017Small little cafe in an area. Just donuts and coffee. Had an outside area in the back. Donuts were amazing. Friendly staff that broke down each donut for you. There have rotating ones weekly!!
DailyCandyFebruary 14, 2014Local, seasonal ingredients and imaginative recipes make this Mission-based shop stand out from the pack. Not to miss: Spearin’s famed vanilla bean donut and delightfully fluffy bread pudding.
Tyler BurgettJuly 20, 2015Vanilla bean, bacon maple, and candied orange blossom are super tasty. The garden out back is nice place to enjoy the morning.
Chefs FeedOctober 18, 2016Get the spiced chocolate donut. "Get there at 7 a.m. and have one right out of the fryer. It takes donut-eating to a whole new level." - Chef Scott Youkilis Read more
J TOctober 24, 2020One of the best coffees in the area. Really good donuts too. In pre COVID times, the nice patio was open too.
Irina BoteaFebruary 19, 2018The coffee is the best in the area. Didn't try the donuts but everyone in the neighborhood praised them.
David BanNovember 21, 2014Known for inventive flavors (i.e.Maple Bacon), this is a must visit for any donut connoisseur.
If you buy a bag of coffee beans (they sell Four Barrel) you get a free donut.
NatalieApril 29, 2017Delicious donuts. Take a box and enjoy them while burning off the calories while walking up and down SF's hills.
Nathan IngrahamJanuary 1, 2016They have one of the best lattes I've had in the city. Donuts are great too, but for whatever reason I dream about that latte.
CITY GRITAugust 1, 2014Wanna know a secret? Sarah kind of hates donuts. But Dynamo’s Donut Bread Pudding may have forced her to turn the corner. Get the Maple Bacon! Everybody’s doing it!
Andrew BristowSeptember 2, 2016Over priced crap. 3.50 for a donut maple bacon donut? I could buy a dozen maple donuts down the street at Jelly Donut, get an order of millionaires bacon from Kitchen Story, crush it on top, for less- Paul FarrellOctober 13, 2015These are good. Maple bacon Apple glaze and lemon pistachio were great. Sugar rush meant a 6km walk required to come down from the high.
Nitin PuriMay 14, 2016The coffee and donuts are great, but the outdoor space in the back can't be beat. Peaceful haven in the middle of a busy 24th st!
Spoon UniversityMay 6, 2016The photogenic qualities of these donuts gives you all the more reason to buy more than one, right? Be the envy of your gym-going friends by posting about a few of these little guys. Read more
Dave ZissouNovember 17, 2012they recently open a kiosk by the marina green side of town, but i gotta either way, you get a good satisfying chunk of donut every time u go (if u go) gO!
Isabel SwartzSeptember 29, 2019The passionfruit and milk chocolate donut is like getting slapped ever-so-lovingly in the face with passionfruit and I cannot recommend it enough
Best donuts ever!!! The Pineapple Basil (vegan) is absolutely delicious!
Rachel DavisAugust 14, 2015Well worth the traffic we endured to get there. The maple bacon doughnut was amazing.
- Jack BrownMarch 22, 2016Redefines doughnuts. Inventive but nevertheless classic tasting flavors. On some of the best donuts you'll ever have.
Whether attributed to timing, luck, disposition, or divine intervention, the kaffir coconut doughnut at 07:30 was an exemplar fluffy, crispy, limey, warm ideal of wouldbe torroid.- The Tastes that Make the CityJanuary 28, 2015The maple glazed bacon apple donut is the best donut in SF, making our list of "The Tastes That Make the City: SF Edition."

Serious EatsOctober 16, 2013Go to dynamo to try unique flavors like quince or cardamom, and get a cup of Four Barrel Coffee.
Vanilla Bean Donut and Latte - so delicious. A great combo for a quick meal break.
Joshua HaftelApril 14, 2015Some of the only donuts I enjoy any more. Not too sweet, with some fun flavors. Great coffee.
Timothy CavanaughMarch 1, 2011The maple glazed apple bacon donuts are served every day; availability of other kinds (7-10/day) depends on "freshest ingredients available" & whim of the godlike pastry chef Sara Spearin & staff.
Amy BAugust 5, 2017Donuts are all very good but the flavors can be odd. Quality of the actual dough is amazing
William JohnsonOctober 21, 2014Get here early as popular items go VERY quickly. The lemon curd in the lemon sichuan was pleasantly sweeter than expected.- Good food, good coffee, good service and friendly staff.
James G.September 16, 2015Try the passion fruit glazed donut with chocolate sprinkled on top. It's simply delicious :-)
ZFebruary 27, 2013"serves Four Barrel coffee alongside donut flavors like molasses/Guinness/pear and Campari/grapefruit, and their signature maple/bacon/apple"
Jole PAugust 29, 2015Overall, any chocolate donut here is my go-to. The chocolatyness is pretty rich and satisfying:)
Any filled donut. When the key lime custard comes around, buy it out and keep your bomb shelter well stocked.
Maya ShanmugamNovember 4, 2015I love all of the quirky combos here, although the passionfruit is an all-time fave.
The gluten free lemon buttermilk donut was one of the best things I've ever eaten!
Wendell RobinsonApril 26, 2012The Bacon Maple Apple donut is no joke! If you get it warm in the morning, even better. Had to wait 20 minutes this AM for those...worth it!
