Guess what's getting a “hole” bunch of attention… donuts in Orlando! That's because donuts in Orlando are no longer just a breakfast food. Donut lovers can feast on doughy deliciousness any time of the day… and we do-nut hate that! So, here's where to find the best donuts in Orlando to share with your honey bun.
Donuts in Orlando for Donut Lovers
1. Chef Art Smith's Homecomin'
1602 E. Buena Vista Dr., Orlando
Donuts aren't reserved for drive-thru places. Donut lovin' couples can enjoy a farm-to-table brunch Chef Art Smith's Homecomin' at Disney Springs. For a twist on a classic southern dish, order the Fried Chicken & Doughnuts.
This hearty dish features two pieces of Chef Art’s famous fried chicken served with housemade sugar doughnuts. It also comes with a side item like bacon, grits or ham.
2. DG Doughnuts
29 W. McKey St., Ocoee
Wondering what DG stands for? Darn Good! Appropriately named, the sugary selections at this Downtown Ocoee shop are over the top – both in size and creativity. Fancy flavors rotate daily, such as: Milkshake (filled with strawberry & banana milkshake custard with strawberry icing, jam and whipped cream), Oreo Black Out (dipped in dark chocolate ganache, rolled in cookie crumbs and finished with chocolate whip) and Lemon Curd Cheesecake (stuffed with tangy curd pastry cream, smothered with vanilla icing and garnished with lemon zest and crushed graham crackers).
Customers totally crave ‘biggie smalls,' aka DG's big donuts topped with a small donut hole. Ginormous apple fritters are ideal for sharing with a sweetie. Follow DG Doughnuts on Facebook to see their daily offerings.
3. Dochi Company
Two Orlando locations — Mills 50 and Audubon Park
A “dochi” is a cross between a Japanese rice cake (aka “mocha”) and a standard American fried donut, achieving a perfectly chewy yet crispy bite. Thanks to its bubble-like ring shape, these unique treats can be easily teared and shared with your darling donut lover.
Flavors alternate weekly, so follow Dochi on Instagram. Recent favorites included Choco Churro, Cookie Butter, Salty Maple, S’more Hugs and Taro Pebbles.
4. Donut Central and Fuelpresso
495 N. Semoran Blvd., Unit 1, Winter Park
Coffee makes couples happy… literally. Caffeine triggers the production of dopamine in the brain and, thus, triggers (warm and yummy) cheeriness–a lovely ingredient indeed. For your next coffee shop date, sip hot java beside your hottie and nibble on fresh-baked artisan donuts.
Donut Central says, “From Maple Bacon to Chocolate Butterfinger Donuts and savory croissants, there's something for everyone to start (or end) the day off right.”
5. Donut King
Three Central Florida locations — Leesburg, Minneola and Winter Park
As the name eludes, Donut King is considered donut royalty when it comes to donuts in Orlando. Take your prince or princess here to fill up a bright yellow box with a dozen. This might take you some time because the large selection is no joke.
Donut King stocks its case with crown-worthy creations, like Almond Crunch, Cherry Cake, Chocolate Coconut, Vanilla Butter Cream and soooo much more.
6. Donuts To Go
1414 W. 1st St. Sanford, FL 32771
Donuts To Go's “square” glazed donut has helped this shop earn 4.6 stars on Yelp. Not too shabby! The storefront is simple, but the flavors are simply wonderful. Also try a cronut and a cruller.
Donuts To Go pairs well with hot Seattle's Best Coffee. Plus, Donuts To Go offers other breakfast and brunch items too.
7. Everglazed Donuts & Cold Brew
1504 E. Buena Vista Dr., Orlando
Disney Springs boasts tons of date night options for couples, from fast-casual to formal dining and entertainment. For a melt-in-your-mouth bite, try The Grilled Cheeeeeese at Everglazed. Envision the ooey gooey classic sammy elevated with a griddled donut.
Aside from sandwiches, Everglazed Donuts, of course, has plenty of flavor choices. You may be tickled pink feasting on the Purple Glazed Ube, a vegan treat featuring a purple sweet potato that magically works well in a sugary donut.
Explore Everglazed’s “super funky” offerings, like the Black Raspberry Beret, featuring black raspberry jam, goat cheese buttercream frosting, fresh berries, mint and Frosted Flakes; or Thailicious, made with black sesame icing, charred pineapple, spicy chili-lime-garlic peanut butter topping, sweet chili sauce, micro cilantro and sesame seeds.
8. Fortuna Bakery
8 Orlando locations
Specializing in South American flavors, this bakery offers scrumptious sugar dusted donuts. But Fortuna makes our list because of its take on a roscon. This circular treat looks like a donut but its dough is more so like bread. Roscon are stuffed with sweet fillings like leche and cream.
9. Mochinut
Multiple Orlando locations
Fair warning… you'll likely need to come back to Mochinut at least three or more times. That's because it has many donut-centric offerings to savor. There are three ways to enjoy Mochinut:
- Order a Japense-style Mochi donut. These bubble-like donuts come in assorted sweet and savory flavors.
- Order a Mochinut Ball. These round goodies are sort of like a cream puff. Try the creme brulee flavor!
- Order a Korean-style hot dog. Think of this as a corn dog but more so with a donut-like exterior.
10. Parlor Doughnuts
2912 Edgewater Dr., Orlando
Parlor Doughnuts employs a unique approach to donuts in Orlando. They declare: “Our proprietary product with layers of buttery dough fried to be crisp on the outside and light/fluffy on the inside. A wide range of toppings are available. Small batches are made fresh all day.”
I give a thumbs up to Parlor's finger-licking flavors, like Blueberry Hill, Churro and Vanilla Keto. Fido will be wagging his tail over the Dog Donut! Be sure to snag a box of minis (basically munchkins) for a later snack.
11. Pattie Lou's Donuts
139 E. Pine St., Orlando
Pattie Lou's describes itself as a donut bar. Well, cheers to that. You can order a signature donut off the menu. Otherwise, just like at a libation bar, personalize your order to taste. Yup, that means you can pretty much drizzle on any type of icing or sauce; and top with toppings galore.
Pattie Lou's offers full-size donuts as well as miniatures.
12. Shaka Donuts
225 E. Michigan St., Orlando
To channel that iconic Girl Scout cookie taste with the girl/guy of your dreams, order the Samoa donut at Shaka Donuts. Allow your taste buds to play even more by sampling Shaka’s Donut Breakfast Sandwiches, Jalapeno Cheddar Donut Holes and other menu staples.
13. Smoke & Donuts
601 N. Primrose Dr., Orlando
Smoke & Donuts may be nestled in the Milk District, but you won’t find milk and cookies on their menu. Rather, this restaurant perfectly pairs sweet and salty in an unexpected way.
Come hungry! Start your feast with a smoked BBQ sandwich. Then, finish off with an artisanal donut.
14. The Donut Patch
1333 W. Broadway St., Oviedo
You and your honey may not always agree and, when it comes to donuts, you don't have too. You see, at The Donut Patch, you get exactly what you want. This shop lets hungry patrons create their very own confection through a three-step built-to-order system. Pick your (1) donut, (2) glaze, and (3) toppings.
15. The Glass Knife
276 S. Orlando Ave., Winter Park
This restaurant isn’t just a fancy pants brunch spot. It’s smoke-free and dog-friendly, so couples can come to relax and, yes, fill up on donuts and other sweets. The donut menu may be less varied on flavors compared to other donut destinations, but that doesn’t mean that The Glass Knife cuts corners when it comes to taste.
Vegan diners will go nuts over the Peanut Butter Banana donut, dripping with rich peanut butter glaze, banana jam, dark chocolate ganache, non-dairy whipped topping and crushed peanuts. The Strawberry Daiquiri Donut goes down easy too.
16. The Salty Donut
3025 Corrine Dr., Orlando
Don’t let the name of this Audubon Park donut shop mislead you. Sure, you’ll find some semi-savory flavor notes on Salty’s gourmet menu, but there’s no shortage of sugary rockstars too. Treat the apple of your eye to Blueberry Coffee Cake, Peaches & Cream, Key Lime Meringue Pie, Guava & Cheese and much more.
17. Sip & Dip Donuts
1001 13th St., Saint Cloud
Donut devotees are on Cloud 9 when they nosh at this St. Cloud locale. Sip & Dip is a friendly neighborhood spot and, once you have a bit, you'll see why they're the talk of the town.
The donut case is sprinkled with classics, as well as cronuts, apple fritters, cinnamon rolls are more.
18. Teak Neighborhood Grill
Two area locations — Maitland and Orlando.
Adventurous eaters can enjoy more than a standard burger by ordering either the Glazed Donut Burger. This entree features a juicy beef patty, American cheese and smoked bacon. Two glazed donuts serve as the top and bottom bun. Talk about a memorable meal!
19. Valkyrie Doughnuts
12226 Corporate Blvd., Orlando
Nestled on the U.C.F. side of town, you can order mini- and standard-sized donuts or… the B.F.D. (aka Big F***ing Donut). It’s an OMG alternative to typical celebratory cakes or pies!
Believe me, your love will LOL when you bring home a huge square doughnut that barely fits in a 14” pizza box instead of plain old birthday cupcakes.
20. Voodoo Doughnut
6000 Universal Blvd., Orlando
Whether you need a morning carb fix before getting a roller coaster fix at Universal Studios or a late night sugar rush following an full day’s adrenaline rush at Islands of Adventure, Voodoo Doughnut will surely thrill your taste buds like never before.
Serving more than 50 types of sinfully delicious donuts, this sweet spot within CityWalk has a whimsical wow factor. Voodoo earned a cult following thanks to fan favorites like the Bacon Maple Bar, Memphis Mafia and, of course, the Voodoo Doll, a raised yeast donut filled with raspberry jelly and topped with chocolate frosting and a pretzel stake. You can nosh on the iconic Voodoo Doll and other company specialties in other select cities, but the Universal Orangesicle is an exclusive masterpiece only sold at the Orlando location. In the spirit of inclusive menus, Voodoo Doughnuts deserves props for its impressive vegan menu, featuring more than a dozen flavors, including Vegan Dirt, a vegan yeast doughnut with vanilla frosting and crushed Oreo cookies; and the Vegan Portland Cream, a vegan shell filled with vegan cream.
