Have you ever craved doughnuts and had no clue where to go? Finding the perfect doughnut shop can be hard. Here’s a guide to help you find the best doughnut shops for you in the D.C. Metropolitan area.
Duck Donuts
An assorted dozen from Duck Donuts
If made-to-order doughnuts are your thing, Duck Donuts is the place for you! They have great options for coating, icing, toppings, and drizzles. They also have set doughnut combinations from which you can choose. The lemon and (new) key lime glazes is absolutely amazing, FYI. Duck Donuts has locations spread throughout the DMV: Rockville, Gaithersburg, Arlington, Alexandria, and more.

Sugar Shack Donuts & Coffee
Sugar Shack’s red velvet donut.
Red velvet donuts? Check. Samoa donuts? As in Girl Scout cookie-inspired donuts? Check. Wow. Would you believe it if I told you they have thirty more flavors?! There’s truly a donut for everyone at Sugar Shack. They’re based in Virginia and recently added a Washington, D.C. location to their list!

Astro Doughnuts & Fried Chicken

If you’re looking for a menu with a mix of traditional and seasonal flavors, Astro Doughnuts & Fried Chicken is the place to go. For the month of August, they’re offering Chocolate S’mores, Cherry Pie, Lemon Poppyseed, and Blueberry Cotton Candy. Their regular flavors include vanilla glazed and PB&J. Although their doughnut menu is on the smaller side, their options are fresh, tasty, worth every calorie! I recently found out that the cake doughnuts are made to order. Astro is also known for their chicken dishes that would go well with your doughnut of choice. 😉

District Doughnut
District Doughnut’s seasonal Nutella S’more doughnut
District Doughnut has a set menu of regular and seasonal flavors that are made fresh daily. Their seasonal flavors truly compliment the seasons well. Currently, they offer summer flavors such as Creamsicle Brulee, Key Lime Pie, Chocolate Chip Cookie, and Nutella S’more. There are four locations: Georgetown, Capital Hill, the Wharf, and Union Market. It gets the perfect amount of natural light and has great backdrops for your #doughnutface (District’s hashtag) or #foodstagram pics.

B Doughnut
B Doughnut’s Oreo Cheesecake doughnut
Sweet or savory? Creme? Fruit? B Doughnut has options in both categories. Above is their Oreo Cheesecake flavor that I don’t see on the menu right now, but they update flavors regularly. Cinnamon Sugar is absolutely delicious as well. You really can’t go wrong with any of these flavors. They have one permanent locations in Leesburg, VA, a pop-up in Ashburn, and a Vienna, VA location coming soon. You can also find their doughnuts in their parter’s, Post Coffee Bar, shops.
