Bacon maple apple donut Dynamo Donuts
This decadent donut is studded with bacon and apples sauteed in bacon fat.  It’s topped with a maple glaze and more crispy bacon.

I first read about this sinful morsel while scouring the SF food blogs and instantly knew that I should try one!  It’s the perfect combination of savory and sweet.  The bacon bits add a great flavor and texture to a donut that would be overly sweet from the apples and generous maple glaze.  The dough itself is light and airy, and the donut simply melts in your mouth.  I’ve tried other flavors at Dynamo, but this remains a favorite!

The Philharmonic coffee from Philz Coffee tastes great with this donut. Actually, Philz coffee tastes great with anything! Lol.

Assorted cream puffs Pacific Puffs
These freshly baked choux pastry puffs are filled with Madagascar bourbon vanilla cream, light chocolate cream, whipped cream and freshly cut strawberries, and other special flavors.  They are either topped with powdered sugar or a thick chocolate glaze.

Who doesn’t enjoy light, sweet cream puffs? I certainly enjoyed these but let’s compare them to Beard Papa puffs. I like Beard Papa’s choux pastry better because it has a firmer texture that doesn’t get as soggy from the cream filling.  I like Pacific Puffs’ chocolate cream better because it’s smoother, Beard Papa’s chocolate cream is always a little grainy. Pacific Puffs also has more flvaors.  But overall, I’m gonna say that Beard Papa takes it overall for texture and flavor.  BUT, the boys working Pacific Puffs make it worth it to go there too, lol!A co-worker informed me of Liliha Bakery cream puffs in Honolulu which are supposed to be AMAZING!  Will have to try them next time I’m in Hawaii!
