We love all the cute character donuts. The price is right. Only thing is parking is hard to find especially during busy hours.

Came here early in the morning and the shelves were stacked. I ordered half a dozen that came out to be about $17. Maybe it's because of the donuts I picked? But I wasn't told that it would cost more as I was telling the lady my selections either. They offer traditional, mochi, and other unique flavored donuts - a great variety. But at a cost of at least $2.75 per donut, it's kind of pricey. Also, the donuts were cold. I'm not sure if they can warm it up for you if you'd ask, but can they at least offer esp since the establishment is new and many of the customers may not know? A great variety of donuts and a cute interior. But I hope next time, they can provide more information for new customers instead of waiting for the customer to ask questions. Customer service goes a long way esp since customers are already paying a pretty penny for the donuts. read more

A yummy new donut shop in Hercules with a twist! I tried one of their ube donuts last week and loved it so much, I had to go and try a dozen. I tried an assortment of their classic and gourmet donuts. My favorites were the ooh-bae and horchata hour. The best thing about most of these donuts is how they are not too sweet. Their employees were really nice and were patient with me when I was being indecisive about my donuts LOL the inside was also cute! Definitely give them a try! I can't wait to try more different flavors and get some faves again. While looking at their donuts, someone let me know that their fritters, especially apple, was the best they ever had, so I'm definitely trying that next time. read more

Dynamite Donuts - Horchata hour, 2 ooh-bae, red carpet Crime brûlée, Samoa, berry short cake, berry cake with icing Maple bay, crumby, 2 more ooh-bae LOL - Donuts Near Me - Hercules, California

I absolutely love this local donut shop! I've stopped in on several occasions and my only complaint would be the long wait. But I have to say they are well worth the wait. At times there are only two staff persons and with one cooking to order (gotta love that) only one was left to serve the very long line. Nonetheless the staff are very patient and kind. Now on to the donuts... Donuts don't have to be hecka hecka sweet to be good and that's what I love about Dynamite! Even with all the pretty, colorful decorations I don't feel like I've got a mouthful of sugar. And there are so many to choose from. Always fresh and every single one that I've tried are de-fricken-licious! I took a variety of four dozen to the office for a meeting and everyone raved over how good they were. Since then I stop in once or twice a week. This spot is a gem!! read more

Dynamite Donuts - Fantastic variety to choose from! - Donuts Near Me - Hercules, California

I have ordered here on several occasions; from my daughters birthday (per her request), my husbands request (cravings! Lol) & to share with extended family because this place is truly top tier for donuts!!!! Staff are always so thoughtful and sweet, so generous and genuine! Each time they have delivered, its always so exciting to open that iconic pink box. Donuts are always so fresh, colorfully decorated and taste so delectably addicting!!! Its a (good) bad habit but we just cant get enough of these donuts. You can tell the staff work so hard to make these donuts so delicious. The attention to details in decoration is icing to the pointy top!! As my friends and family agree that this donut shop is our best in the bay area!!! Thank you Dynamite Donuts for always making my family and friends so content and satisfied, so grateful to have you in this part of town!!!! read more

Friendly staff and so many donut options! I enjoy just looking at all the colorful donuts. My son loves the panda one. I wish their restroom was cleaner. read more

There's a new donut shop in Hercules and they just opened a few months ago. The place is very clean and they have a lot of donuts to choose from. You can look at their clear glass ordering station and your mouth will be salivating at all of their sweet and delicious donuts. From simple donuts to extra fancy ones, you just can't resist getting a box of them. We didn't see a long line and the patrons were getting in and out quickly. We ended up getting a box of different kinds of donuts. I like ube and I took a few of their ube cake donut. I saw a banana fritter and had to get one. Once you get your donut, don't forget to also have a cup of coffee. It's refreshing in the morning to have a donut with a hot cup of coffee. Since we're staying in Hercules, I don't have to go far to get myself some good-tasting donuts. read more

Fun decor that pays tribute to Hercules (dynamite ). My all time favorite is their apple fritter - crunchy outside and lots of filling. They open early so it's a good place to pick up treats for the office or school. Photos taken from the opening on 8/16/23. Hapoy Donut Day on June 7! read more

I went here for the first time and loved this place!! Got half a dozen for $11 for a friend's birthday gift. The worker was very nice and gave me 2-3 extra donuts to try. Thank you!!

This is a great place for donuts. They look delicious and taste delicious as well and also service was nice and fast. We will be back again.

I lived in Hercules between 2006-2017. "Moved on" without any consideration to move back in this community. It's nice to have joined the community Facebook group to stay updated since my mom still lives in this town. That's how I found out about Dynamite Donuts. So glad to see an aesthetically pleasing, clean business dishing out yummy donuts, priced well too, in Hercules. I mean, we're not in San Jose. I got the sugar raised donut and their dulce de leche donut of the month for $4.25. Both donuts were fluffy and "not too sweet". When I'm in the area or talking about Hercules, I will recommend dynamite donuts. read more

What a TREAT! Great selection of donuts, from all the classics you know and love, to more adventures options! We popped in the other day and I had a matcha donut, while my son chose a chocolate-glazed with m&m's. These donuts were BIG and fluffy, and the matcha frosting on mine was so smooth and tasty. My son also guzzled his right up. We would gladly return. read more

Good variety of fresh donuts. Loved the specialty ones. So cute and delicious. Service was good. Made it just in time before a huge line formed. A little bummed I asked for 3 of a particular donut and only got one. I was only charged for one, so that's a positive. read more

The donuts are great and the staff is wonderful very reasonable price and definitely great to have in the neighborhood. Certainly support local. read more

Good solid donut spot not too far from me. My favorite is the classic glazed donut. Special donuts are fun and photogenic but a little too sweet for me. I'll take a dozen glazed classic any day though. read more

Donuts are not my favorite sweet treat. I really do not have any place to compare the donuts to. They are a new business in town and the only donut shop. They are located in a strip mall with adequate parking. There were a lot of choices. I went with a traditional glazed donut. I enjoyed my sweet treat. If I have a craving for a donut I will stop here. The store was clean and busy. The people behind the counter were pleasant. I am giving them 5 stars because they have a large variety of sweets and the people who were munching on donuts looked like they were enjoying them. read more

Best donut shop in the BAY!! The staff is so nice every single time and the shop inside is very clean and nice. The donuts are never dry and the croissant sandwich is soooo good!! Must try read more

Went to the new donuts place at 5:30am in the morning and they have already had many donuts ready! Selection are huge and some of the favors are unique eg, lemon blueberry, matcha, key lime....they also have mochi donuts! The donuts were delicious and my team really enjoy them. Will definitely go back for more. read more

Talk about a banger! Big shout out to my sister for learning about this place. We were able to check it out on its second day and it did not disappoint. The line wrapped around the inside and donuts were flying off the case...so popular that some flavors didn't get to be refilled. Customer service is 10/10z the whole team is hospitable and people didn't mind the wait time of less than 10 minutes in line. The are is so clean and well maintained. Now be aware that the parking lot is tiny as it is a shared plaza. Location is easily accessible and prices are very decent. They have a variety of flavors and they even have one with hot Cheetos on it (I was nervous to try this one but when I left I instantly regret not grabbing one) and they have mochi donuts and donut holes as well. It's style is minimalist and the donuts made me and my sister very happy. Cannot wait to share this place with others. read more

Hercules needed this donut shop. The glaze cronut was the winner out of all the donuts I got, but the Keroppi donut was the cutest. If you have any Sanrio fans who love Hello Kitty or any "cutesy" type donuts, I recommend this shop. Whenever I come in, the food is fresh and delicious. The staff is always really kind and helpful. There are a lot of choices, so they are patient when you are deciding what to choose. Also, the inside is extremely chill. There's not too much going on, it sort of gives off a cafe vibe. Just be sure to go earlier rather than later because they have been selling out! read more

Super cute and delicious donuts. My daughter is always asking me to take her before the park ! 10/10 would recommend

Really interest mix of classic donut flavors and some new twists. Very clean and bright. I loved the horchata donut.

I finally found an outstanding donut shop in the East Bay!! Believe me, I tried. I got my first donuts from Dynamite Donuts yesterday and was THRILLED! The selection was extensive and the quality was outstanding. We had the maple bacon, campfire and a few others. All were terrific. The parking lot made it an easy trip. Can't wait to return! read more

Cute shop with delightfully decorated donuts. We had the turkey decorated donut, which was cute to look at, but I wouldn't order again. I wasn't a fan of the frosting and toppings, very average taste. We also had the Sweet Piggy. A maple donut topped with bacon. You can't really lose when adding bacon to a donut. Will definitely get again. read more

The service is A+! Walking in my daughter and I were welcomed warmly. They allowed my daughter to make her choice which took a little time but he was so kind and had it ready for her, always with a genuine smile. The donuts are awesome! The design and the taste both are dynamite for sure! The place is also a really cool spot to just hang out and do your work while drinking a good coffee and donut.

Dynamite Donuts - Donuts Near Me - Hercules, California

A new small business that recently opened in Hercules. A donut shop serving coffee and sandwiches. They have a variety of donuts and vegan options too. Donuts are best consumed fresh. Both my girls enjoy coming here, we visited two days in a row. The yeast raised donuts are nice and fluffy but still have some chew. The Apple fritter was nice and moist but still has a crunchy outside. I also tried their chocolate on chocolate donut; it was a bit sweet for me. Ambiance is pretty minimalistic. Overall, I am happy to have a local donut shop down the street which I shall be a frequent visitor of. read more

What a great new place in Hercules! It's such a cute shop set up in a small plaza. Parking is going to be hard to find sometimes but you can possibly find parking on the far end of the parking lot. The inside has a nice simplistic aesthetic. There is limited seating for small groups. The service was really great! Got greeted when i walked in and helped almost immediately despite the store being quite busy. They even gave me an extra donut :) the owners are very nice and thoughtful. The donuts are pretty to look at and yummy to eat! They actually aren't too expensive and the donuts are pretty big as well. Of course you should have a sweet tooth because these donuts pack a sweet punch :) THEY ALSO HAVE MOCHI DONUTS! I'm not a huge sweets person but i actually enjoyed the donuts here! Even though they just opened they are very on top of serving customers and are open to suggestions and optimistic about changes to the store to meet customer satisfaction. I look forward to coming here again and worth the try if you're looking for some yummy donuts!! read more

The only bad thing about this place is that it is hard to find parking. I got lucky last time because somebody was getting out. They have a variety of vegan donuts and well as regular donuts. Very friendly staff. I would return but the lack of easy parking will be a challenge. read more

The donuts here are so good. Probably the best in the area id have to say. We went in about 5 pm on a thursday, glad it is still open til 7 pm. Parking was right in front of the store, there are a lot of parking spaces in this community. We were greeted with a smile and the service was quick. We got the lime donuts, coconut topped, pistachio, sugared and glazed. Amazing selection here and it tastes so goooddd. It was still warm when we got home. We will definitely be back for more and probably sit down and eat to feel the ambiance inside. Really happy that this is just around the corner and surprised that it took us this long to try it out. Come grab a donut here if you are around. read more

I love Dynamite Donuts and go back here whenever I can. I had a particularly wonderful experience on Tuesday, 9/16 in the afternoon (around 4:30pm). Tia (I'm hoping I remember her name right!) was working, and she helped me so much. I was unsure what to get for a meeting, and she helped me choose some cool flavors. She was just so sweet and went the extra mile. Thank you so much! read more
