Customer Reviews
I had a great iced cold brew! Friendly staff. Beautiful spot at the marina and across the street from the Palace of Fine Arts. There is outdoor seating at the shop and benches in the park where you can enjoy your drink or donut.
Definitely a lot of interesting donut flavors and we tried 5 of them, but flavors were hit or miss in my opinion. The donuts are either cake-based or the usual fried donut type. I did not prefer the cake type, possibly the one we tried was a vegan one that could have something to do with it, but it had a weird texture. The usual fried donut ones were very chewy and delicious, although flavors themselves were hit or miss. The passionfruit chocolate was my favorite, if you?re a passionfruit lover, it is super
So good for such an unassuming little hut. I got a chai doughnut and the spicing they used was wonderful. It was my second favorite doughnuts I've ever had. I also had a latte and it was excellent too. But the doughnut was definitely the star of the show. Would come back for another one (and I'm not even an SF resident).
Get these baristas to New York to get some speed! Updated- 4/12/25 - So funny how ppl in service industry don?t even care about saying hello or even trying to be nice. Tips would be huge and everyone would feel better. Barista couldn?t care less.
The orange fennel donut is incredible! The wait can be a bit longer than expected if folks order many drinks to then walk over to the beach.
I was caught completely guard. My family needed a quick fix for coffee and happened to come across this little gem. The barista was wonderful and very cheerful, and drinks were fantastic. The Lavender Latte is the best, in my opinion. I will definitely return.
One of my favorite spots in SF. Incredibly tasty and adventurously-flavored donuts with vegan varieties. Great coffee. A picturesque and sereen spot in the Marina. Free parking. Heaven.
Delicious coffee and donuts. Great location. Outdoor seating on the water. Very unique flavors of donuts available. Wonderful staff.
Great spot to warm up with a coffee, espresso, or tea, and of course grab an outstanding doughnut! Go for the maple and applewood bacon one! Service was also very nice and helpful.
What a great location in between presidio green and crissy field. The flavors draw you in but I don't know if it's the time I always grab a donut but it just doesn't hit like Stan's or Bob's. Passion fruit milk chocolate was tasty but the donut itself was a bit lacking. Still, service is kind and prices are not ridiculous. Nice little pitstop for something sweet. No complaints but it's not going to take your breath away.
cute, casual little coffee shop, with little seats near the water. we got hot tea and split a few donuts. very friendly staff!
High quality coffee, fresh donuts, views of the Marina and Golden Gate bridge.
Ohhhhh my..... Perfect pit stop after your run. The donut is gorgeous. Ultra fresh, "light" and amazing flavors. My cappuccino was perfect too (and I'm picky)
Fun little donut shack with diverse selection of interesting flavors. Tried the cornmeal rosemary pcherry and it wasn't that corny. Extremely delicious. Could eat one a day. The gal working there was attentive and helpful.
They have different specialty donuts each day and they are scrumptious! We had a vanilla chocolate and a maple bacon one, not too sweet, just right. Tiny tiny coffees, $3. I know that sounds cheap but I?m not from California and it was the size of my thumb. But, with that said, everything is priced in accordance with the cost of living there and it was not a huge shock. The coffee was delightful, regardless. Quick service! Right near the water so it?s nice if you want to grab a bite before continuing to exp
Best spot for coffee and premium donuts on the wharf with views of the Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz
Great doughnuts and such a cute little place! ??There?s some tables right outside for a seating area, and they have doggie doughnuts for pups!
Asked whether the host could fill up the dog water and she refused even though the tap was next to her and I had the dog bowl in my hand.
Really good coffee and donuts. I think it's reasonably priced coming from Phoenix. There's a nice view of the beach too and close to the Palace of Fine Arts
This place is fantastic and has an amazing gluten free option. Coffee is also excellent and the people are a friendly bunch.
Nice spot for grabbing a coffee and espresso when walking the marina. Espresso was excellent, bonus points for having ?real? cups and not only paper ones!
Very sweet staff!! Okay spot for eating if you wanna sit nearby as well, with some good potential views. Pricing considering the location was good as well, as I tried to go to other places beforehand but found them too expensive in comparison. The coffee I had was good as well and I could choose to add some coffee into it myself which was very much appreciated.
I really like this place I just didn't want to give it full stars because they close at 2:00 p.m. and that to me seems ridiculous! the beach is packed until after sundown. they also have espresso drinks.
Cute little kiosk serving park goers. City public restroom is near by & about 1/4 mile from the wave organ. Can't go wrong to enjoy the bay and grab a donut & coffee.
The perfect hiking stop when going through the presidio, the little hut with the best hipster donuts in the city! Their coffee is decent too.
Revising my review because the kiosk now is open as advertised. A gorgeous spot to enjoy coffee after a morning run along the waterfront. Prompt efficient service. Would love a more varied menu, but that?s kind of quibbling!
Dynamo Donuts in Marina San Francisco offers a delightful variety of fresh, unique flavors. Coffee, cappuccino, friendly staff, and innovative twists on classic donuts make it a must-visit spot for any donut enthusiast.
Ferociously delicious! Beautiful area on the marina walk way.
My favorite doughnuts in the world! Their gluten-free/vegan doughnuts are truly incredible.
If you like cakey donuts with unusual flavors, this is for you. If you like the classic style donuts (winchell?s / Bobs), this is not for you. Otherwise a great spot to sit outside or stop by while walking the dog. The espresso coffee drinks are good too.
What is there to say? Dynamo makes the best donuts anywhere. Hands-down. Full stop.
Great little place to get coffee, right down on the waterfront. Fast friendly service. Coffee is small, and relatively expensive. But given the location, that is to be expected. Also, there is a public bathroom directly across the field. so if you're out for a hike, especially during the covid-19 apocalypse, this is a place where you can grab a snack, use the restroom, and see the beautiful waterfront.
I've had some Dynamo donuts before and they're alright. Last time I went here was post-run with a group of women who split a donut and all seemed to really like it. I think it might be cash only? The nice part of this location is it's right on the water, so it's very pleasant to grab some coffee or coffee and donut and sit outside.
Best oat latte I?ve ever had. I had to get a 2nd. The lads were super friendly and helpful with their suggestions!
Perfect location if you're touring around the Embarcadero in San Francisco. It's right before Crissy Field, the restored wetlands that leads up to Ft. Point and the Golden Gate Bridge. If you're on a bicycle or walking, great place for a quick stop. You can eat right there, or head over to the water, about 200 yards away, with benches and plenty of places to take your doughnuts with you. Great place for people-watching as walkers and runners all pass right by. Dynamo specializes in weird flavors, though, wh
The guy working is a great barista, and super honest. The square card reader he was using double charged me, something I didn't find out till the next day, where I also found a credit back. Super honest, great latte, all around nice place. Will be back the next time I'm in town.
Not delicious. Not cheap. Nowhere to sit. I'd pass.
Good donuts and coffee with great views
Really got spot for those perfect donuts! They?re pretty small and a bit expensive but have awesome choices of flavors. They have a few sitting spot and a great view.
Delicious donuts and coffee. Perfect for having a brunch seeing the waves.
Good place to check out the doughnut stall for interesting doughnut flavours. I am a fan of the ginger orange. The maple bacon apple was okay. I couldn't taste the apple in it.
Solid hot chocolate, which used housemade chocolate syrup?not a powder. Minus one star ?cause they were out of whipped cream. Great views, but bring a jacket!
The donuts are so good that they frequently sell out. It's a little hut in the park supplied by the main shop in the mission so their hours and availability can be a bit variable.
Best Donut in town if you ask me. Definitely try the GF options. More cake-y texture and more dense. Like those a lot.
Good place to take a break with views. Donuts are alright, but for real they serve Wrecking ball coffee which is cool.
My go to is their spiced chocolate donut! I love that their offerings are constantly changing, and I appreciate that they still have some house made staples.
Nice treat during our bike ride through the Presidio. Loved the maple bacon apple donut. ?? ??
Came here last year for fleet week airshow showed up about 8:45 this was a line of about ten people. at 8:50 he told everybody in line they dont open tell 9 so what is everybody waiting in line for. Then at 8:55 he said are you people really going to stand there and watch me eat my breakfest me and most of the people in line walked away after i gave him a few choice words i will never go there again!!!!
Good strong coffee and donuts lived up to the hype! Beautiful views too ??
Picked up some delicious donuts here and watched the fog reveal the Golden Gate Bridge. Fun place!
Not the cheapest donuts in town for sure, but among the best. Also better espresso than you might expect from a donut kiosk in a park.
Highly recommend the chocolate passion fruit donut! ??
Very good big cafe where we can have almost very good tasty coffee along with the breakfast.Quality and taste is far better to drink,tourists used to come here for tasting good quality coffee.Beautiful place where youth enjoy taking coffee and breakfast.
The yacht club location isn't open. That's where maps takes you and it says it is open. Called. And it's their other location. Need to update your maps.
Always friendly and quick service. Delicious, unique donuts and they make a mean latte.
PRO: Good Gluten Free donuts CON: No telephone at this location
Great donuts and coffee. Its just one person working, so its gonna be long wait.
Good doughnuts in fun location. Friendly service and good coffee.
Disappointing. Coffee is not worth the price. Not friendly staff. No flavors for lattes or coffees. Almost want to ask for refund.
I stop by here on way to Crissy Field everytime - good coffee and unique donuts
Coffee can be enjoyed black. No need to add milk. That's good coffee.
Prepare yourself for a thirty minute wait. Do try if you are looking for a unique tantric experience of watching the embodiment of world class inefficiency.
Delicious donuts and friendly people at this tiny little location on the water front!
Good place to get donuts. Yes! They do have vegan donuts.
Excellent espresso and the expected fantastic seasonal donut flavors.
These are great donuts, but its really hard to find them open in the morning during the weekdays.
Great donuts. I enjoyed the strawberry lemonade
Great place for a donut and coffee break while on a bike ride.
Cute little coffee shop for a quick shot of java, specially on a cold, dark, windy day.
It was meh at best, the donuts weren?t that good.
Great for a donut on the weekend or espresso mid run.
Won?t suggest you to go there seriously bought a donut took a bite instantly thrown it to bin
An oasis in the middle of nowhere. Try the chocolate spice donut! It was really good.
Very sweet and tasty donuts ??
Great donuts! Great macchiato! Great view!
Solid spot near the East Beach with good coffee and donuts
Yummy, the best gluten free donuts!
Service is always good no complaint with this business so fare
Great donuts mid run along the waterfront.
Great coffee, delicious donuts
Probably some of the best donuts in the city.
Best donuts in the bay area.
Grab a coffee and a donut, sit on the beach and enjoy, repeat.
Go early; the signature flavors sell out fast!
The Bacon Donut is awesome!
The levender latte is great!
Delicous Coffee and Donuts ! Awesome!
Donuts and you don't have to go to the Mission to get them
