While you can still find the classics just about everywhere, your kids’ favorite morning sweet treat has been spotted going gourmet with unique flavors, crazy toppings, and wild shapes (our apologies to the circle). From Cajun-inspired concoctions to creations you have to see to believe, check out our list of the best places in the metroplex to indulge.

The Salty Donut

We need to be honest. Some of the best donuts in Dallas can be found at this spot, and they look more like cakes than breakfast food. And with names like the Horchata Donut, the Key Lime Meringue Pie Donut, and the Carmel Toffee Crumb, we see no reason why you shouldn’t have one for dessert. Plus, they’ve got cold brew growlers to go, and for you donut junkies out there, be sure to sign up for their rewards program.

Park Place Donuts

Here’s where you’ll find crazy character donuts like Minions, Hello Kitty, and Baby Shark, alongside Nutella Oreo donuts, Fruity Pebble donuts, and Strawberry Cream Cheese donuts. Don’t worry! You’ll find all your go-to flavors here too.

Detour Donuts

The menu at Detour changes every month, and the options are totally different. Think Thai Tea & Coconut, Blueberry Goat Cheese, Tiramisu, Lemon & Earl Gray and much more.
