10 Best Donut Shops in Singapore

Donuts holds a special place in everyone’s heart (and stomach)—they’ve been there for a long time, usually as mid-day munchies or as a gift to friends and family. However, like with many nostalgic favorites, a new generation of bakers (er, fryers) would emerge to turn the treat on its head and, like their cupcake relatives, create their own leveled-up versions of the deep-fried treat. Who are we to whine?

Here are 10 spots worth hitting up anytime a hankering for donut shops hits.

1

Dunkin Donuts

Bill Rosenberg launched the first Dunkin’ Donuts restaurant in Quincy, Massachusetts, in 1950, and in 1955, the company licensed the first of numerous franchisees.

Dunkin’ Doughnuts is the world’s largest bakery and coffee business, serving more than 3 million people daily with fresh coffee, doughnuts, and bakery products. They’ve been serving Singaporeans since 2009, when they opened their first store at ION Orchard, followed by a slew of others around the Lion City.

Kind Kones

Are you looking for allergy-friendly donuts? They’ve arrived at the right location. Kind Kones, an ice cream parlor, offers gluten-free options for vegans. The chocolate donut has almonds, flax seeds, apple sauce, agave, and pistachio toppings and is baked rather than fried, making it a wonderful match for a cold scoop of your choice.

3

The Fat Kid Bakery

They adore this decadent patisserie’s tongue-in-cheek name, but you know what we adore even more? Bomboloni is made with sourdough. If you don’t want anything too saccharine-sweet, those tiny, light cakes are perfect. Grab a box of delectable sweets like calamansi, passion fruit, and apple cinnamon to share with the family.

Sourbombe Artisanal Bakery

The “sourbombe” (a hybrid of sourdough and bomboloni) creations of MasterChef Singapore 2018 runner-up Genevieve Lee are a feast of unusual sensations that you won’t find anywhere else. The basque burnt cheesecake bombolone is incredible! A mango twist on Thai milk tea and hojicha caramel crunch are among the other flavors.

Puffs and Peaks

This quaint bakery’s mother-daughter team specializes in delicacies including fudgy brownies, chewy cookies, and banana bread slices. Choose from simple cinnamon donuts or hefty concoctions bursting with flavors like vanilla bean, chocolate, hojicha, apple pie, and caramelized banana.

Common Man Stan

For those looking for new doughnut flavors, the CBD sister of Common Man Coffee Roasters has a Dough of the Day. According to our last check, the menu includes zesty chocolate orange, key lime meringue pie, and black forest cake.

Burnt Ends Bakery

This Michelin-starred restaurant is well-known among foodies, but its bakery is as well-known for its, well, baked goodies. Milo Dinosaur donuts, made specifically for the 2020 Singapore Food Festival, are available in a baker’s dozen. Alternatively, experiment with different flavors like pandan and lemon meringue.

Nassim Hill Bakery

Thanks to its creamy chocolate or kaya filling, each fluffy bun bursts with delight. With the initial bite, expect them to shoot all over you! Doughnuts at 2:00 a.m.? That would be wonderful! Check to see if the kids are sleeping before you dig in.

Korio

Start with the sammies before moving on to the New York-inspired brioche donut for dessert at this CBD hole-in-the-wall diner. Their caramelized biscuits are fantastic. The peanut butter and the jelly stuffed dough will be a hit with the kids. As the name implies, the crunchy cinnamon sugar donuts’ holes are made of wasted dough from its ringed donuts.

10

Doughnut Shack

Doughnut Shack is a takeout doughnut shop dedicated to experimenting with the many shapes and forms of this all-time favorite comfort food in order to provide the greatest artisan doughnuts and bombolinis to our clients. Donuts, donut holes, cake donuts, bombolinis, and beignets are also popular choices. Sweet, savory, and a little of both
