12 Best Donuts in Washington

“I arrived about an hour and a half before they closed and they still had a lot of fun flavor options. The donuts were easily as good as you would get at Dunkin' or Krispy Kreme, but all vegan! I loved the variety and they don't skimp on the filling. Updated from previous review on 2026-01-17“

“Astro Doughnuts in D.C. absolutely delivered. I tried the classic glazed and the maple bacon, and both were genuinely mouth‑watering. The glaze had that perfect light sweetness and soft texture, while the maple bacon struck the ideal balance of salty, smoky, and sweet without being overwhelming.

If you’re craving doughnuts that feel indulgent but thoughtfully crafted, Astro is a must‑visit. I’ll definitely be back to explore more of their flavors.“

“Some of the best doughnuts I've ever had. Fluffy, delicious, and interesting flavors! We had the yuzu and earl grey, both were delightful and not overly sweet. If I could I'd have tried all of them.

The gentleman that runs the booth somehow remembered us from our last visit and I think that made the doughnuts taste even better than I remembered.“

“A small but absolutely mighty coffee shop in the heart of dc U street. The service is insane , especially for a normally two man run joint. They pay so much attention to detail and craft every menu item with so much love, care and intention. By far my favorite cafe in the city. My Fiance go here every Sunday before church and we look forward to every time. Andre 300 is our go to and their saffron cardamom latte may be one of my favorite combo lattes ever.“

“I’ve driven by so many times and decided to stop today. Kicking myself for not trying this place sooner. It’s delicious!!!“

“Convenient to Metro station“

“I love Mochi Mochi donuts! I was glad to see that they had a small display at the Bryant St. Market. Mochi Mochi donuts are a perfect pillowy, scalloped-edged donut available in unique and traditional flavors.

I usually get the mango or yuzu flavored donuts when I order them from the spot food hall in Rockville.

The day that I went to Mochi Mochi, their menu was pretty extensive given that it’s a small display seemingly within the poke shop.

I chose the churro flavor and a strawberry for a friend. The churro donut was basically the donut version of the churro sprinkled with cinnamon sugar and lightly fried. It was good.

My friend said that the Mochi Mochi strawberry donut was delicious. When I purchased it, the young lady said that it was a strawberry donut with strawberry glaze and topped with freeze-dried strawberries. If you love strawberries, this sounds like a great choice.

Definitively check them out the next time you’re at Bryant St.“

“Don't be fooled by the name, this is way more than just a place for awesome looking donuts. Great coffee. Great sandwich. Great atmosphere. The best staff. If you're going to the Canadian embassy and are wondering were to lunch, dine this gem.“

“I recently placed an order and had some problems with the dasher. Kasy, one of the managers was super kind and accommodating. She went out of her way to ensure that my order was received and that I was completely satisfied. I really appreciate all the help and will be coming back to this location.“

“Unassuming Central American bakery with a large selection of pastries for surprisingly low prices. They can also do custom cakes-- I ordered a tres leches for my husband's birthday, and they did a fantastic job and made it super moist. The staff are very friendly too.“

“As a frequent visitor, this place deserves a much higher rating than it has. Service is always extremely friendly. Mobile orders are ready as expected and accurate. Coffees are always made particularly well (especially relative to other Dunkins). Staff is courteous and helpful about substituting donuts if I mobile order something that isn't available.“

“I was happy to find this Duncan, because most local places don't make machiatto with 2+ shots of espresso.
Many of the shops were spotty at best with coffee. It was nice to find a coffee shop with consistency. (Don't get me wrong, I LOVE small coffee shops, but I couldn't find one I like in DC specifically)
It was in walking distance to the Westin hotel which was another big plus.“
