    Wow! The donuts are visual masterpieces that taste as good as they look. My favorite flavor was the pistachio or the maple bar. The service was fast and friendly too. A little pricey, but then again, look at their donuts! Worth it.

    Amazing service, friendly staff, and the line moves pretty quickly even though there's so many donut options! I got two fancy ones like the panda donut and green tea and pistachio ones. Also tried their dirty matcha latte with almond milk. So yummy. Plus the music is on point here, hitting my millennial heart! Plenty of seating and tables as folks just grab their donuts and go. Highly recommend this dope spot in Hercules!

    Cute local donut shop in our home town of Hercules. We've been here only one time before and just for the donuts, which were delicious as I recall. We just don't eat donuts very often so haven't come back until today. And we came for the coffee! While there was a small line, they have several people behind the counter and we were greeted promptly by a young lady with a smile, asking for our order. We had almond milk lattes and they are quite good, especially considering their main specialty is donuts. However, I like a stronger coffee flavor. Maybe they don't use a dark roast espresso? W had a maple old fashioned and a glazed mochi donut. I had the ube donut with crumble top, which was moist, not too sweet, and oh so yummy! I tried the mochi and it has an interesting and pleasant chew vs the crumble of a cake donut. The donuts are five star all around! And I would give 4.5 stars if I could. But the latte, while very good, are deserving of 4 stars by my rating scale. The service is also 5-star with a friendly team and quick service even with the latte prep. The store is cute! I think we came after the main morning crowd because there was powdered sugar everywhere on the bar where we chose to sit and it was quite sticky. I wiped it down using napkins and the hand sanitizer available at the coffee condiment station, since the staff was busy helping customers. If you're in H-town (once a firearms powder plant called Hercules Dynamite) or nearby, come to Dynamite Donuts and enjoy!

    We came for breakfast and coffee on a Sunday morning and was able to beat the crowd! Right after we ordered, a line began to form. My partner ordered a breakfast sandwich which he thought was good, not exceptional, but what you expect from a breakfast sandwich. I had an apple fritter donut and thought it was delicious, the donut itself was light, fluffy, and the perfect amount of sweetness. However, we ordered 2 iced mochas and from the color alone, you can tell that something was wrong. I asked the staff again to confirm if it was an iced mocha and she said it was. The coffee was way too sweet, my guess is that they either used white chocolate or added caramel. Either way, I'll come back for the donuts if I'm ever craving it but I'll head elsewhere for the coffee. The store is also clean and upkept with plenty of seating available indoors.

    10/10 5 stars!!!! I first received these on my doorstep as a gift and I was wow'd. Went back a twice this week! So worth it!!! my personal favorite is the glazed donut (sorry not sorry ) than their fritters are pretty tasty as well. Oh and did i mention I have their avocado toast and was very pleased. As simple as it was it was still a strong 8.5 out of 10. What a blessing to have in the neighborhood. Can't speak much on for service and ambiance it was pretty straightforward, so all good there DYNAMITE DONUTS IS A MUST TRY.

    Lots of different varieties

    Went to a post Thanksgiving feast and bought some sweets for desserts. I went super early and met with smiley/ friendly counter gal. Doughnuts are really good and was pleasant surprise for everyone. Definitely my go to place for doughnuts and diversity of choices.

    Excellent local donut shop. With delicious flavors and so many to choose from. Seasonal flavors and decor. Service is always excellent and prompt. Just missing V, but she's at the Berkeley location

    This donut shop is right next to a Starbucks. We ordered our coffee on the Starbucks app and it said 11 minutes. We saw several people walking out with cute pink boxes, so we decided, hey why not check the donut shop out while waiting for our drinks? We're so glad we did! Small modern looking donut shop with the donuts displayed in the front. They also offer drinks/coffees. We got a half dozen of their donuts, my favorite is the blueberry cake donut, so good and perfectly balanced flavors! Not too sweet and it was nice and soft. Service was quick and friendly. Plenty of parking. Would like to try their drinks next time!

    Cute donuts!

    Super friendly, clean and modern establishment! Donuts are baked fresh daily. You really get a variety of donuts. So, there's something for everyone. My hubby was impressed with the first bite of the classic glaze donut. We both love that it was light and fluffy and moist. Types of donuts: Classic, old fashion,cronuts, mochi, French crullers, and cakey donuts. To name a few+ of their delightful and sinful flavors: Ube, Pistachio, Strawberry Shortcake, Creme Brulee, Banana Nut Fritter, Matcha, Horchata, Blueberry Cake, Red Velvet and more! Coffee drinks are made to order with a legit espresso machine. So, you are not getting that basic coffee sitting in a pot for hours. The iced dirty matcha latte was perfectly made with oatmilk and just the right sweetness to balance the shot of espresso. Compliments to the barista! Tip! You can order online in advance.

    Very nice and lovely shop, I came because a friend told me about this place but it is just amazing, best doughnuts in town. We got a few with different designs also different flavors but the horchatas one it's bomb! Definitely a perfect place for any occasion.

    I am in DONUTS HEAVEN! This is the place to go to before heading to class or to work. Dynamite Donuts have been in business for over two years and people been coming by everyday from the morning until the afternoon. Plenty of different varieties of donuts to chose from. I love the friendly faces that serve me the best donut created. I love Hercules Finest, Animals, Characters, and The Dye Titan. I finally discover that Dynamite Donuts has a restroom to use. I been using their hand sanitizer to clean my hands. Their Iced Latte can give other coffee places a run for their money even though they are in the same area with Starbucks. Keep up the great service you been giving Hercules

    Such a huge selection of creative and special donuts! I wanted one of each! They're just as yummy as they look! Definitely returning back for more!

    First time trying their coffee and cant complain. Good coffee, a little too sweet but still good. Got some donuts to eat on the side as well, and as usual, delicious!

To see how much Michelle has upgraded and transformed the Buisness over the years is inspiring! It's like night and day seeing how it used to look inside compared to now. The remodel and constant upgrades that have been made show that the owner reinvests heavily in the customers experience and that alone deserves a 5 star review. Me and my family will always support this amazing small Buisness.
