Best Donut Shops In DFW
Donuts are a favorite breakfast treat of pretty much everyone. They come in enough varieties to please every taste with jelly filling, sprinkles, icing and powdered sugar toppings, just to name a few. Donuts make an easy breakfast to grab on the go and they are a perfect pairing with coffee or milk. It seems like you can find a donut shop on every corner in this city, but to find a truly good one takes a little more effort. To this end, here are some of the best donut shops in Dallas / Fort Worth.
Kountry Donuts
102 S. Main St.
Grapevine, TX 76051
(817) 421-1257
Kountry Donuts is located only a couple blocks from quaint downtown Grapevine. The name of the shop is a good explanation of the atmosphere you will find inside. It is a small shop that just does doughnuts and does them well. Like many doughnut shops in the area, Kountry Donuts is only open in the morning, and the earlier you arrive, the warmer and tastier the doughnuts will be. Their cinnamon twists and kolaches, a Texas favorite, are not to be missed either.
Shin's Donuts
8251 N. Belt Line Road
Irving, TX 75063
(972) 929-9970
Shin's Donuts has fried breakfast sweets of every shape and flavor. The shop serves fritters, kolaches, croissants and of course, doughnuts and doughnut holes. It may look like just another doughnut shop, but the taste will tell you otherwise. The prices are lower than a standard chain doughnut shop, and the people are friendlier.

Bunkies Donuts
2611 Custer Parkway
Richardson, TX 75080
(972) 690-9852
www.bunkiesdonuts.com
Bunkies Donuts has been around for over 30 years, so they have built a following with the people of Richardson. The doughnuts are made fresh everyday which means optimal flavor, but not a place for late-sleepers. You have to get there early for the best selection because once they are gone, they're gone until the next day. The good news is, it is easy to make a stop on the way to work because Bunkies has a drive-through for quick service.
Hypnotic Donuts
9007 Garland Road
Dallas, TX 75218
(214) 668-6999
www.hypnoticdonuts.com
Hypnotic Donuts is best known for its crazy favor combinations, and for good reason. Patrons can find just about anything that's edible on top of these doughnuts. One doughnut is covered in vanilla frosting, sprinkles and animal cookies. Another is a glazed doughnut covered with vanilla frosting and jalapenos. There are normal flavors like chocolate or sprinkles available as well for the less adventurous doughnut lovers. There are even vegan donuts available on Mondays. The shop also has free Wi-Fi access so you can hang out for while getting some work done on your laptop — and eating a doughnut or three.
Dale's Donuts
4455 Camp Bowie Blvd.
Fort Worth, TX 76107
(817) 737-9979
Dale's Donuts has been creating sweet, sticky childhood memories for generations. The shop itself is quite plain, but the donuts are not. They are light and fluffy, so you won't want to eat just one. Another highlight is Dale's apple fritter,s which are a mix of fresh apples, cinnamon and donut batter, fried to perfection.
