They serve coffee, smoothies, refreshers, other (muffins & bagels), and are known for their empanadas. The person that took my order was friendly and gave me good recommendation when I asked what's popular. Got a couple drinks and some empanadas (beef, chicken,spinach,mushroom,apple,and pineapple). Those empanadas when brought it were still warm and has good flavor. They also have sauces in 4oz containers (chimichiriri, mango habanero,ranch) if you like, I got a couple,but I like the chimichurri. If you're looking to get coffee or for some empanadas, then go to Hizcafe in Hercules and support a small business

The sweetness was just right. The Taro chunks were yummy. The staff were nice and were on top of it. They got orders out fast. Customers can order in kiosk or with a person. Plenty of seats both outside and inside. There's a cotton candy machine, snacks and treats. There are few games available. I like the ambiance. It's chill and bright. It's fitting for a young crowd and families.

Every bite is hearty and it's truly a "healthy" packed portion sandwich - they do not skimp on ingredients, it's well worth the price and you will be satisfied after you consume it! I've also recently had their Vietnamese coffee which is well worth the sweetness, caffeine and calories. I have also had smoothies and a vanilla latte from time to time. Customer service is always exceptional (even when it's busy!) and the funnest part is they sell LOTTO tickets at the counter or by the machine. It's clean, there's a good variety of drinks, donuts and sandwiches to order for brekkie to lunch or anytime- it's Great spot. I highly recommend this spot.

But my favorite go to orders are The Vietnamese ice coffee or Thai tea, And the Combo lunch sandwich or the #7 breakfast sandwich. 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.

Had the worst experience here yesterday. It took 30 minutes to get two donuts. That is only after…read morebeing ignored for 10-15minutes, standing in line while online orders were being processed. There were three staff members in total (thin build, Latino male), medium build Filipino female with glasses, and a thin build Asian female). The male was working on an in person order when I walked in, seven to ten minutes later the same woman was standing around waiting for parts of her order - no other in person customer was being assisted. A young woman, who had placed an online order for two coffee drinks asked repeatedly if anyone was going to make her drink order. It took two staff members - Asian female, Latino male) - to help figure it out, each debating who was going to make it. The Filipino female kept coming from the back to bring sandwich items to seated waiting customers. The male continued to look at online orders before helping the family of three in front of me. When their order was finalized, the male walked away from the register and proceeded to look at the online orders. He said nothing to the line, did not acknowledge our presence. He went to the back to make a sandwich - again two staff members working on one thing (Filipino female, Latino male) while in person customers stood and waited. The Filipino female asked what him what was in the bag while standing at the front of the store. The other Asian female was still working on the coffee drinks from the online order from when I first walked in. After about ten minutes of being walked by and disregarded, while waiting to be acknowledged, I asked is anyone going to take our orders at the counter? The male replied, "Yes, but we have a lot of online orders and we'll get to you shortly." So online orders take precedent over those waiting in store to purchase? If this is the case, then why are there only three staff members who are clearly not organized nor serve in the capacity of enough staff to assist customers online and in person? If I had not asked about being helped, no telling how long staff would had continued to ignore us. The Filipino female walked over, asked how my day was and asked what she could get me. After each donut selection shared, anything else?... She was being passive aggressive in her tone and with her words. As I was waiting to select my receipt options, she saiid, "All of that for two donuts" to the male. Who both went into the back while the rest of the building line waited. When I finished my receipt selection and entering my phone number, the father and son behind me were still waiting without any assistance or staff acknowledgement.. If I had not promised my daughter a donut prior to order road trip, I would have left long before. Worse service as it was nonexistent to those in person. There were three staff, two were doing staff and the third at the front was nonexistent. Do better Dynamite, your customer service was absent yesterday, staff not at all prepared or organized and your store is not staffed to assist both online and in person without neglecting in person. Communication was nonexistent as well, leaving customers standing in line without a single word or thought of returning any time soon. Online orders, you'll be waiting too. There were three people who walked in, going directly the register with a phone in their hands. They were waiting two for the pickup while the young lady wanted her coffees made. The ambiance here...people were upset across the board. I would rather drive to Pinole and get service, Dynamite donuts are not worth that wait or nonexistent level of service.

A great pick me up spot for something refreshing, a caffeine fix, or something sweet!…read more My favorite here is the Chocolate Thunder! Be warned that the regular size comes with 2 shots of espresso and the large size comes with 4 shots of espresso. I recently started adding the strawberry foam to it and it elevated it so much. The strawberry foam is rich in taste and not too sweet so it balances out the chocolate and coffee perfectly. If I'm looking for something refreshing I go for the Sweet Basil or Pearfection. Both with an in-house made purée that add a great taste to the tea lemonades. They also offer add ons at an extra charge: chamoy, tajin, mango star jellies. They also have a variety of quesadillas that are made with a handmade flour tortilla and all pressed in a panini press which gives it a nice crunch. My favorite is the turkey one which comes with a jalapeño cheddar cream cheese that gives it a little kick. The pastries vary from day to day but if you see cinnamon rolls I suggest you get one! They're so fluffy and not too overly sweet like the typical ones. Staff is welcoming and friendly. They always answer questions and suggest different drinks/pastries depending on what you like. Located inside the community center with some seating available. There is a parking lot so parking is easy.

I also tried their cinnamon roll, which was soft with a really nice cream cheese icing, and their s'mores cookie which the person who was ringing me up warmed up for me.

Came here with fewer expectations, as I used to live in a dominant Vietnamese community and lots of Banh Mi places competing with each other. However, this place exceeded my expectations, and I'm so happy about it since it's so close to where I live. The food was good and fresh, I just wished they put more pickled veggies and jalapeno. The coffee was great, the first sip felt like it brought my soul back to life! The interior is small, cozy, and clean, with and few indoor seating areas. The lady at the register was nice, and she was the one who made our sandwich as well. Street parking is only available. Overall, everything was good and definitely come back again.

Come to find out a deal in store to get $4 off 3rd drink when buying two. They should definitely have the same promos on their website. All three drinks had zero flavor. It was super light purple in color as well. There were huge chunks of ice as well so instructions were pointless. So we basically paid $23 for colored ice water. My kids use to love it here. And always ordered the same drink every visit. Well It use to be constant. Now I have two disappointed kids.
