14 Best Donuts in Washington

“we were in the area to visit another bakery. while looking for parking, we saw a huge line and decided to investigate. we were surprised to see it was fully vegan! decided to wait in the line and it was worth it. unfortunately they were out of stock of a lot by the time we got inside, but everything we were able to order was phenomenal Updated from previous review on 2026-02-15“

“Stopped in to try Handcraft Doughnuts and overall had a pleasant experience. The donuts were good, with nice flavor options, but I'd describe them as leaning a bit more bready in taste rather than the light, fluffy style I personally enjoy. Worth checking out if you like artisanal donuts - just not quite top-tier for me“

“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.“

“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!!!“

“Went there for the first time and was very surprised. The sourdough cream cheese donut was excellent. The matcha latte was great too, very good latte art. Not the greatest fan of the cherry cake donut.
We came back a second time the next day and tried their coffee, whilst it doesnt taste as good as Australian coffee, its definitely one of the better ones in the USA that we’ve had. We tried the mocha donut and it was fairly good, lil on the sweet side. But the sourdough donut was excellent again, highly recommend. Overall great place to chill, study, have good donuts and decent coffee.“

“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.“

“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.“

“I work a few blocks down the street and literally order from here daily via door dash. Food is always good drinks are too. Always get my food quickly. I just have 1 question? Why do you never have any donuts? I can order 2 hours after you open and you have no donuts!“

“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.“

“This location is not open to the public. It’s also not the typical Dunkin Donuts with full service menus or hours. This location is exceptional for those who access it and they provide high quality service to those needing a speedy break for a donut and a bagel with cream cheese.
Highly reliable and convenient and a great compliment to Harry S. Truman. Much recommended!“

“Ordered two mocha's. Never in my life has a Starbucks or any other coffee place given me regular black coffee with some chocolate in it. Was so odd. Training might be needed. Great and pleasant young man, but could use some product training“

“This Dublin Donuts is solid. It’s never busy, so you get your coffee and donuts quick. Everything’s consistent, same taste every time, which is nice. The place is clean, and the staff gets the job done. Not fancy, but good for a quick stop when you’re in the mood for something simple and easy.“
