Our family love Dynamo cafe. Previous owner made place cozy and friendly. Now there is a new owner and so far the taste of donuts hasn’t changed. About coffee, funnily enough it depends on the barista. It might be the same Vanilla Latte or (Lavander before), but some barista can make it a bit sweeter and the other less sweet. It’s a street level place so it’s easy to come in even for strollers or people on wheelchairs. They have a big variety of donuts, so everyone will find their favorite. My personal choice is classic vanilla donut with chocolate on top as well as vegan spice chocolate. There is always a line, there is a good foot traffic so you can order from the window and take it to go or sit inside, or even on the quiet backyard. They are kids and dogs friendly!

5 vegan donut options😄The apple cinnamon has big chunks of apple and is delish! Cute vibe.
Three stars because we observed workers placing snap traps while we were eating😒implies a sanitation issue AND handling it in a non-animal friendly way.

Ordered - Have tried most chocolate flavors. Love passion fruit as well. (note: I like bringing my own container since it’s hard securing a regular donut box in the back seat. Tub-ware for the win. Also they run out of a lot of their flavors after 2pm.) Texture - Perfect cake donut. Not cry nor super dense. Nice and filling. The yeast kind are nice and fluffy, have a good chew as well which I think is stand out. Flavor - Always a nice punch of flavor. Never shy. Most aren’t super sweet like a regular donut but it’s still got a nice amount of sweetness to it. Price - Usually $3-4 ish dollars per donut. Usually get a couple for $25 since I devour them in a week. TLDR; Good cake texture that isn’t dense, yeast is fluffy, both have good chew. Taste isn’t packed into them. The price isn’t bad in my opinion for what you get.

Made a quick stop here for a donut. The vegan options were listed in green. The Apple Cinnamon donut was incredibly delicious. Just the right chewy texture with cinnamon sugar coating and pieces of apple mixed in the dough. I will be back to try more flavors!

A solid dounough all around for a reasonable price.
The dounout itself was soft with no taste of oil. The glaze was a orange and ginger which sounds like it could be a lot but it was saddle and delicious. While nothing blew me away about it, it is a solid choice on your way to work.
It's all walkup so not much for atmosphere but you probably aren't looking for that if your just on the go anyway.
The staff is really friendly and the dounoughts are pre-made so everything is super fast. Even though they are pre-made, they are super fresh.
A great choice for an on the go donought if your in the area.
Cool coffee shop with great twist on donuts. It's a walk up shop.

Love this place. Been coming here for 5 years now. Really good coffee, focaccia bread (not made every day though). The people who work here are really cool. A bright light in the Mission.

I ordered a cappuccino and a milk chocolate donut. Cappuccino was good but the donut was not fresh. I didn’t like how clumpy and dry it was. The taste was not good and if I visited I would definitely get something else. The lady that works at the front didn’t really care about me as a costumer because she was busy chatting it up with another customer
