1. GLAZED DONUT WORKS
Nestled in the Deep Ellum neighborhood of Dallas, Glazed Donut Works is as untraditional as it gets: They sell donuts and only donuts. Their hyper focus allows them to serve up some of the most consistently delicious and creative donuts in Dallas. You’ll find a vast selection of classic and unusual donuts, and their famous vegan donuts will even impress carnivores, too! Take note of their nontraditional hours though and check their site before you go.
2. HYPNOTIC DONUTS
One of the first shops in the area to serve unusual donuts, Hypnotic Donuts has seen many years of success. With a super casual vibe and an “open until we sell out” attitude, Hypnotic is great for someone looking for a true donut experience. From their maple bacon bar to “PeaceStacio” (pistachio), you can’t go wrong with any of their flavors! Don’t miss out on their insanely delicious chicken biscuits either.
3. FUNKYTOWN DONUTS
With a menu that rotates weekly, FunkyTown Donuts is the perfect spot for someone looking to switch up their “regular” order. FunkyTown does an excellent job of balancing traditionally flavored favorites with fun, exciting flavors such as Root Beer Float, Strawberry Cheesecake and even a charity donut that generally changes each week to raise funds for the chosen charity of the week.
4. PEACE, LOVE AND LITTLE DONUTS
While the franchise may hail from Philadelphia, Peace, Love and Little Donuts has made waves in Southlake and the surrounding areas after opening their doors almost a year ago. With a really fun history that includes cleaning out a friend’s garage, an old donut maker and botched direction following, this shop offers a welcoming, throwback kind of vibe. From groovy (traditional, plain flavors), to far out (various frosted donuts) and funkadelic (wild, wacky, unheard of flavors), there is truly something for everyone here at PLLD.
5. WOW! DONUTS & DRIPS
The most comfortable and aesthetically exciting donut shop on our list, Wow Donuts has some seriously dedicated fans. It has more of a coffee-shop like vibe and at any hour of the day, you’ll find folks working on their laptops, having a meeting over a donut and coffee or simply hanging out with friends. With over 12 different roasts and blends of coffee, Wow! Donuts pairs the classic combination with ease.
