Food & Wine

"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."

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."

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."

Vicente Garcia

"The dough itself is light and airy, and the donut simply melts in your mouth. I’ve tried other flavors at Dynamo, but this remains a favorite!"

Ann Rivall

"America's Best Doughnuts: With a name like "Dynamo" this SF doughnut emporium sets high expectations, and according to its loyal customers, it delivers. Doughnuts are crafted by hand daily, with a rotating selection of seven to 10 flavors, though the Bacon Maple Apple doughnut (with crispy bacon, apples sautéed in bacon fat and a heavy layer of maple glaze) is available every day."

Bonnie Wach

"Dynamo took the city by storm in 2008, introducing the world to Sara Spearin's heavenly little organic round cakes, laced with decidedly 21st-century flavor combos such as the over-the-top maple-glazed bacon apple."

Bridget Hallinan

"Known for fresh fruit-infused recipes and a killer maple bacon donut."
