dynamo donut + coffee

a breakfast of indulgence on a saturday morning in mission, sf

meyer lemon huckleberry


i really love the mixer in the coffee mug logo

maple glazed bacon apple

this is the most popular choice and for good reason. oh man it's good. so much that we bought another one immediately! the bacon was perfection and they even had little chunks of fresh apple inside the batter

spiced chocolate

this one was my favorite. i love cake donuts and the texture of this was perfectly moist and cake-like, with spicy sugar on the outside

luke is not a big morning person, but was SO incredibly sweet to sacrifice sleeping in every day to explore with me. he is seriously a keeper!

it was so wondeful to find a hidden outdoor patio behind the donut shop. the sun was bright and cheery, palm trees were in the distance, flower blossoms and succulents thrived around us. a lovely scene to be a part of

hen and chicks

i love this weathered old house (with one side freshly painted) and those cascading orange flowers *sigh*

and i adore these little eggshell succulents

dahlias and poppies

there's a crusty piece of something on her arm. i really wanted to flick it off

where donuts are born

"Dynamo uses Clover Organic Milk for it's coffee and donuts. Each donut utilizes organic, sustainable, and local ingredients whenever possible. They are always handmade daily by Sara and her dedicated staff. We offer a rotating selection of 7 to 10 donuts per day so quality and freshness of ingredients can be guaranteed.
EVERYDAY is Bacon Donut Day!!!"

i love how they had a walk up/bike up window as well as indoor/outdoor seating. AND they had bins for trash, recycling, and composting. why can't all cities be like sf, portland and denver that do this so well?!

do you have a favorite donut shop? i have been to the infamous voodoo doughnut in portland, but have yet to eat some in nyc! i have heard that doughnut plant is the best?

Um, I'm curiously hungry for donuts right now! hahahah Subliminal dough-y messages from across the wires. That place sounds fantastic with it's organic ingredients, limited selection due to freshness, and beautiful exterior! The only donuts I eat are from a local shop (EVERY) Sunday after church. UGH, did I just say that out loud? Maybe that's why I can't shed a few of those stubborn pounds! hahahahahha OH NOOOOOO now I know and can't ignore it. Thanks Angela! haaha
