From glazed classics to over-the-top specialty rings and Colombian-Latin pastry shops, Central Florida's donut scene punches way above its weight. These are my favorite spots for a weekend box or a late-night sugar run across Kissimmee, Orlando, and ...
The pink boxes at Universal CityWalk are an Orlando rite of passage. Get the Bacon Maple Bar and a Voodoo Doll, and go early because the line gets real on park days.
Voodoo Doughnut - The Magic is in the Hole
Upscale artisanal donuts done right: brioche-style, filled to order, with rotating seasonal flavors. The traditional glazed and the guava-and-cheese are worth the splurge.
THE SALTY - DONUTS • COFFEE • VIBES
The go-to for over-the-top vegan doughnuts near UCF, and you'd never guess they're plant-based. The Fat Elvis and the cereal-topped monsters are legendary, and it's a lifesaver for dairy-free friends.
Valhalla Bakery featuring Valkyrie Doughnuts
A Disney Springs must for anyone with a sweet tooth. The over-the-top glazed rings, loaded shakes, and warm donut holes are pure indulgence after a day of shopping and shows.
Everglazed Donuts & Cold Brew - Disney Springs
For something different, these chewy Japanese-style mochi donuts come in flavors like ube, matcha, and Thai tea. Lighter than a regular donut and dangerously poppable, great for grazing.
Mochi Donuts | Dochi Company
The Hot Light is a Central Florida institution. When it's glowing on 192, pull over for an original glazed straight off the line, it basically dissolves. Reliable, cheap, and always a crowd-pleaser.
Fresh Doughnuts and Coffee - Kissimmee - Krispy Kreme
Made-to-order warm donuts you customize yourself: pick your coating, drizzle, and topping. The maple-bacon and the cinnamon sugar are family favorites, and kids love watching them get dressed.

The Glass Knife | Brunch, Donuts & Desserts in Winter Park, FL
A Milk District icon for over-the-top Southern sweets. I come for the towering cakes, gooey cinnamon rolls, and pop-tarts, then grab a biscuit for the road. Get there early on weekends because the good stuff sells out.
Se7en Bites
This upscale Winter Park bakery makes some of the best pastries in Central Florida. The morning buns and cruffins are worth the drive, and the pastry case changes with the seasons. Go early, they sell out fast.
Buttermilk Bakery
Not donuts, but no Central Florida sweets guide is complete without it. The half-pound cookies and legendary cake slices are worth the wait, and the Disney Springs and East End Market spots are pure magic. Get the peanut butter cold brew too.
