Best Donut

Best sort-of donut:

Nothing tops a fresh glazed donut minutes out of the fryer.  So simple.  So delicious.  Any time I find myself awake a 4am I head to a donut shop to get the fresh stuff.

[toku]

Like in all things, simple is best. A fresh glazed, or powdered is king.

I don't fuck with donuts now, but when I was a kid i always loved the Glazed Blueberry Cake donuts.

Favorite is Krispy Kreme regular glazed or jelly, but I pretty much enjoy any type of doughnut.

[Aeptia]

Krispy Kreme is literally down the road from me.

 

But the price tag is 

But the taste is 

SO I'M CONFLICTED

You can do whatever you want donut wise, but I think if you like plain donuts you're 100% a pedophile.

krispy kreme flamed out so hard in California

I'm surprised the UK hasn't ran it out of business.

Always little schoolkids in there, so I'm usually like

Krispy Kreme glazed are great but only when fresh. My local spot has a jelly donut with peanut butter frosting that is pretty solid. That's probably my favorite

Don't like KK. Don't like that heavy cake stuff that sits in your stomach all day.

Give me light and fluffy while not a wad of sugar.

Unsurprisingly, my vote is for Boston Creme, though I loved it far before I moved to Boston.

[CatsCatsCats]

Chrono if you’re for some weird reason ever in the pass thru town of Sandy, OR, definitely go to Joe’s Donuts as they have, verifiably, the best maple bar around

the maple custard bismark (bottom row) from my hometown bakery. It might just be the nostalgia talking, but their crème filling was perfect, as was the whole overstuffed construction of the whole thing. I've traveled far, I've not yet tasted a better doughnut in the Western hemisphere.

[Cryo]

Does anyone else here consider Krispy Kreme to be bottom-tier donuts? I get that the ethereal aspect of them can be appealing, but I never feel satisfied after finishing one and it's also never as good as I might have imagined it would've been prior to taking a bite, similarly to most of Taco Bell's offerings these days. 

edit: ok cool I can agree with etoliet on something for once

[CatsCatsCats]

KK pretty much sucks ass except for the original glazed and even that only if it’s fresh

[nachobro]

Yeah other than a fresh original, KK is low tier. Dunkin is definitely better as far as chains. Been tough to skip out on donuts lately cause I'm avoiding sweets, but also a Dunkin opened up within short walking distance to my house.

They're not awesome, and they become less awesome quickly. God-tier donuts are still edible the morning after you bought them. KK is not edible without microwaving a couple hours after they come off the mesh.

And in Japan they're ¥200 each. A two dollar donut? Give me a break, you ain't artisan millenial military-grade donuttery.

[Madrun Badrun]

Every donut I have had in the US was a sugary piece of shit

also Boston Cremes

You have not been close enough the New Orleans.

The closer you get to New Orleans the better the donuts get.

I actually like the morning after test. A coworker brought some glazed old fashioned donuts from a local joint and hid them upstairs for us, and they were fucking incredible even 2 days after they first showed up.

$2 for a donut is pretty cheap.

living next to a mom & pop shop where they cost 60 cents each

[Eel O'Brian]

Always gotta be "what you like is trash, what I like is best" on this board, even over fucking doughnuts 

goddamned manbabies

[team filler]

krappy kreme is nothing but garbage, they got the frosting to doughtnut ratio all fucked up. It's like taco bell in donut form, or when you look up recipes to try to recreate your favorite chinese food dishes and nothing comes out right. Better off going to a real doughnut shop or even hitting up a Dunks. Chocolate bars, raspberry filled, maple bar with crispy bacon on top, blueberry cake doughnuts

wow, I agree with etiolate

I'll drop reasonable change on Psycho Donuts in San Jose, CA. I'm also up for spending on Voodoo Donuts.

KK is a massive franchise that's proud of their conveyor belt process. Why in the aytch-eeh-double-hockey-sticks am I going to pay more for that than the 99¢ donuts at mom-and-pop places, or even the ¥120 donuts of the ubiquitous Mr. Donut?

Hint: I won't.

There was a great shop in San Jose, CA called Lou's Living History Donut Museum. They mixed mashed potatoes in with their dough. Those things were great well into the next day, and enjoyably edible the day after that. When the owner retired, he didn't leave it to anyone, so it closed.  :'(

[MMaRsu]

The things in the OP are not fucking donuts

[CatsCatsCats]

Voodoo is also a super over rated tourist trap 🤷‍♀️

[Positive Touch]

the jizz-filled donuts are clearly the best. unfortunately the best donuts in stl are way the hell up in north county so i can only get them when i'm out there but god damn they are fucking phenomenal. it's just a small plain shop across the street from a bowling alley that's been there for decades but they keep the most magical warm delicious donuts imaginable inside. they're perfect and taste fresh any time of the day.

Jelly donuts 

[CurseoftheGods]

jelly donuts are gross

gourmet donuts are da bomb

[agrajag]

Jelly donuts are the pineapple pizza of donuts

 

[Big Kielbasa]

Best donuts are Polish doughnuts.

Never understood why you Yanks put holes in your doughnuts, it's such a waste, I mean you could fill'em with so many delicious things like cream, custard or fruit preserves.

[agrajag]

Uh, we have those too, and we also call them donuts? 

[Big Kielbasa]

Well, y'all also calling a hand-egg a football - and it's still not the same thing.

[agrajag]

they don't even call them doughnuts in Polish, they call it "pączek," so what are you on about? Don't tell us what to call our words.

[Big Kielbasa]

It was merely an observation.
And they actually call it "pączki"("pączek" is singular).

[Biff]

can you guys please stop fighting over that delicious looking Boston Creme Donut?
