20+ Best Donuts in Orlando for Donut Lovers

by Nancy Devault

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 date night idea. So, here's where to find the best donuts in Orlando to share with your honey bun.  

Must-Try Donuts in Orlando for Donut Lovers

1. Chef Art Smith's Homecomin'

  • Location: 1602 E. Buena Vista Dr., Orlando
  • Phone number: (407) 560-0100

Donuts aren't reserved for drive-thru places. Donut-lovin' couples can enjoy a farm-to-table brunch at Chef Art Smith's Homecomin' at Disney Springs. For a twist on a classic southern dish, order the Fried Chicken & Doughnuts.

This hearty, sweet and savory dish features two pieces of Chef Art’s famous fried chicken served with glazed doughnuts. It also comes with a side of mashed potatoes.

2. DG Doughnuts

  • Location: 29 W. McKey St., Ocoee
  • Phone number: (407) 614-8609

Wondering what DG stands for? Darn Good! Appropriately named, the sugary selections at this Orlando donut 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. Donut Central – Eats & Coffee

  • Location: 495 N. Semoran Blvd., Unit 1, Winter Park
  • Phone number: (407) 821-3000

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 has its own unique in-house coffee blend, sourced from Central and South American countries and roasted right in the Orlando shop via their Diedrich roaster.

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.” For something unexpected, try a Kolache, a sweet pastry stuffed with smoked sausage and cheese.

4. Donut King

  • Three Central Florida locations: 3716 Howell Branch Rd. #1701, Winter Park; 208 S Hwy 27, Minneola; 708 S 14th St, Leesburg
  • Phone number: (321) 316-4817

As the name suggests, Donut King is considered donut royalty when it comes to donuts in Orlando. Bring your king or queen here to fill a bright yellow box with a dozen donuts and brighten your day. This may take some time, given the large selection.

Donut King stocks its case with crown-worthy creations, like Almond Crunch, Cherry Cake, Chocolate Coconut, Vanilla Butter Cream and soooo much more.

5. Everglazed Donuts & Cold Brew

  • Location: 1504 E. Buena Vista Dr., Orlando
  • Phone number: (888) 354-5293

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. Or for a nostalgic bite, opt for Fruity Pebbles, topped with strawberry icing, buttercream frosting and, yes, your favorite childhood cereal, Fruity Pebbles. 

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.

6. Parlor Doughnuts 

  • Three locations: Clermont, Orlando and Winter Garden
  • Phone number: (407) 286-0117

I am thrilled that this Orlando donut shop continues to open more locations because most of their donut offerings are egg-free. This is a really big deal because most other donut shops use recipes that include eggs. 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.

7. Pattie Lou's Donuts

  • Location: 139 E. Pine St., Orlando
  • Phone number: (407) 203-3362

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 any icing or sauce on and top with toppings galore.

Pattie Lou's offers full-size donuts as well as miniatures.

8. Shaka Donuts

  • Location: 225 E. Michigan St., Orlando
  • Phone number: (407) 271-4376

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.

The pineapple fritter could really hit the spot, too. Aloha!

9. Smoke & Donuts BBQ

  • Location: 601 N. Primrose Dr., Orlando
  • Phone number: (321) 352-7070

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, offering both BBQ classics and outrageous donuts.

Definitely come hungry! Start your feast with a smoked BBQ sandwich. Then, finish off with an artisanal donut. To keep with the hearty vibes of this locale, try the Bacon Blast donut, made with a bourbon-maple glaze, chocolate chips and slices of bacon. 

10. Oviedo City Cafe

  • Location: 1333 W. Broadway St., Oviedo
  • Phone number: (689) 230-2318

Formerly The Donut Patch, Oviedo City Cafe would probably be beloved by Willy Wonka and other iconic confectioners. That's because many of the Cafe's donuts are candy-coated, like Reese's Cup, Butterfinger and KitKat, among other classic and gourmet varieties. 

And listen… You and your honey may not always agree and, when it comes to donuts, you don't have to. At Oviedo City Cafe, you can get exactly what you want because hungry patrons may create their very own confection through a three-step built-to-order system: Pick your (1) donut, (2) glaze, and (3) toppings.

11. The Glass Knife

  • Two locations: 276 S. Orlando Ave., Winter Park & 276 S Orlando Ave., Winter Park
  • Phone number: (407) 789-CAKE

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 in flavors compared to other donut destinations, but that doesn’t mean that The Glass Knife cuts corners when it comes to taste. In fact, there are some vegan options.

The best of their donut offerings include Chocolate Ganache, Crème Brûlée, Hazelnut Crunch, Mango and Lemon Poppyseed Cake.

12. The Salty Donut

  • Two locations: 3025 Corrine Dr., Orlando, FL 32803 & 11585 Regency Village Dr., Orlando, FL 32821
  • Phone number: (407) 960-6378

Don’t let the name of this 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.

For those hosting an upcoming event, know that The Salty Donut offers catering services.

13. Sip & Dip Donuts

  • Location: 1001 13th St., Saint Cloud
  • Phone number: (407) 892-1252

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 bite, 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 and more.

This shop's exterior branding mimics Dunkin' Donuts', but the taste is certainly original. 

14. Teak Neighborhood Grill

  • Location: 6400 Time Square Ave, Orlando
  • Phone number: (407) 313-5111

Adventurous eaters can enjoy more than a standard burger by ordering 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 buns. Talk about a memorable date night meal!

15. Valkyrie Doughnuts


  • Location: 5565 Old Cheney Hwy., Orlando


  • Phone number: (407) 868-5137

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. 

16. Voodoo Doughnut

  • Location: 6000 Universal Blvd., Orlando
  • Phone number: (407) 224-3663

Whether you need a morning carb fix before getting a roller coaster fix at Universal Studios or a late-night sugar rush following a 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.

17. 88 Donuts Bakery Cafe

  • Location: 3334 Curry Ford Rd., Orlando
  • Phone number: (407) 819-6572

This cafe offers something for every type of breakfast palate, with pastries, bagels, breakfast sandwiches, donuts and more. Since we eat with our eyes first, you may be drawn to the Cinnamon Flower, which is a beautifully constructed Cinnamon roll of sorts. Otherwise, the classic jelly donut sprinkled with sugar never disappoints. 

18. TK Coffee & Donuts


  • Location: 1155 W. State Rd. 434, Ste 103, Longwood


  • Phone number: (321) 972-1239

We recommend pairing your donut of choice at TK with Boba tea instead of coffee. Picture vibrant vibes and colorful donut creations that are sure to brighten your day. FYI, TK has a Pistachio Dubai Chocolate donut… OMG!
