"Here, Food & Wine names the best doughnuts in the U.S.: Dynamo Donuts - The bacon-maple doughnut, with smoky sautéed apples, is now available every day."

Jane & Michael Stern

"Sidewalk noshers line up at this 21st-century fry shack, helmed by a trained pastry chef, for the organic whole-breakfast donut topped with bacon, apples, and maple glaze."

Food & Wine

"Owner Sara Spearin’s menu changes all the time, with inspired flavors like vanilla-orange zest and chocolate star anise sprinkled with cocoa nibs."

Carolyn Jung

"It’s salty and sweet. And if you try one, you’ll want another one immediately."

Zagat

"Delish donuts, notably the must-try maple bacon variety, are the draw at these hipster destinations where the innovative treats are paired with strong, delicious coffee poured by a friendly counter crew."

Andrew Knowlton

"At this counter in the Mission District, long lines form early for Four Barrel coffee (roasted nearby) and inventive donuts including lemon-Sichuan, apricot-cardamom, and the excellent caramel de sel."

Imbibe Magazine

"This Mission District sweet spot serves their deliciously inventive doughnuts (including the Strawberry Earl Grey, Blueberry Cornmeal and the Bitter Queen with candied grapefruit, elderflower glaze and Campari sugar)."

Hopper

"As much as a maple bacon donut has grown almost tired in this deliciously deranged era of donut-slap-happiness we live in, their maple bacon – wait for it – apple donut has positively stolen all the blog hype, and it turns out it’s freakin’ good."

Megan Gordon

"The bacon was in small bits sprinkled on top of the donut and wasn’t at all greasy. And the little bits of apple are actually sautéed in bacon fat, resulting in a fabulous salty and sweet flavor. It really is the perfect donut."

Daisy Barringer

"Dynamo is best known for its Maple Glazed Bacon Apple doughnut, but Sara Spearin’s unique and refined flavor pairings make all of Dynamo’s light, chewy (in a good way) hand-made doughnuts worth a special trip to their storefront in the Mission or kiosk in the Marina."
