Dynamo Donuts

The Mission, Dogpatch & Potrero Hill


Wrapping your head around chef Sara Spearin's freak flavors may take a hot minute – but your taste buds immediately grasp the appeal of raspberry-black-pepper glaze, lemon pistachio and the flavor that launched a thousand cravings: maple-glazed bacon. Hot-cross donuts are a bun-donut mash-up made in heaven, especially with Andytown espresso and Diaz coffee.

Not light fare but conscientious, with local and organic ingredients. And on a sunny day, don't miss the adorable back patio.
