A handful of years ago, the donut trend hit South Florida hard, with dozens of shops popping up within a year of one another. While that trend seems to have fizzed as fast as Miami’s ability to enjoy a cold front, a few standout shops have stood the test of time and continue to crank out fresh-made treats on the regular. And some have even expanded, offering their donuts in various locations throughout the area.

From simple raised brioche to candy-topped and cream-filled, these seven amazing shops have a donut (or doughnut, depending on your preference) to meet every desire, whether you're gearing up for Fat Tuesday or simply trying to make it through a regular old Thursday.

Perhaps the most well known of South Florida’s donut shops is The Salty, a family-owned artisan donut shop famous for its around-the-block lines when it first debuted. Now that there’s several locations, it’s much easier to score these scratch-made cake-sized sweets. Flavors rotate seasonally, but you can always count on the Maple + Bacon, Guava + Cheese, and Brown Butter + Salt.

This isn’t your regular doughnut shop. This spot prides itself on their European approach to doughnuts, meaning many of their offerings are filled with decadent creams. Popular variations include the Lemon Meringue, Boston Cream, and a special donut-croissant hybrid filled crema catalana, the Spanish version of creme brulee.

Sweet Mini Donuts

Operating out of a food truck in Doral, you learn all you need to know about this stellar donut purveyor by their name: they’re peddling sweet miniature donuts, the kind you find in large buckets at the fair. The small but mighty pastries can be ordered by a half-dozen, dozen, or a Bucket-O-Minis (aka two and a half dozen). Flavors include Classic Powdered or Cinnamon Sugar, and you can even top them with the glaze of your choice: original, strawberry, cookies and cream, lemon, chocolate, or caramel.

Known for fun toppings like Fruity Pebbles, Snickers, s’mores, and more, this is one of the first South Florida hotspots to debut back when donuts were at peak trendiness. You may have even spotted them on Diners, Drive Ins, and Dives. They sell out quickly, so it’s best to make your visit earlier in the day.
