My Favorite Donut Shops in Las Vegas

Donuts are delights that you start munching as a kid, and once you start, there is no going back. Luckily there are many donut shops across Las Vegas that I’ve fallen in love with. You haven’t tasted the best donuts Vegas offers if you haven’t had donuts from the following joints.

1. Donut Bar

Mud Pie dipped in Chocolate, Oreos, drizzled with peanut butter and marshmallow!

Donut Bar has a huge selection of donuts with different flavors, sizes, and fillings. I can always find something that suits my mood and tastebuds. Sometimes I go for the classic glazed or chocolate donuts. Other times I try something more adventurous like cake batter, Nutella, Snickers, or bacon.

Donut Bar also has weekend specials that are amazing, such as grilled cheese donuts and French toast donuts. I am always delighted to get my donut fix at this shop.

2. Yonutz Fantastical Donuts and Ice Cream

Yonutz Donuts

The awards and TV features on CNN, USA Today, Thrillist, and Food Network are not an exaggeration of the food quality but a testament to what I’ve always enjoyed at Yonutz in Centennial Center. The donuts are affordable, with almost all menu items starting at $8.95.

My favorite donut is the Nutella crunch smash doughnut filled with cookie dough ice cream that’s smashed and hot-pressed, then topped with Oreos, cereal crunch, and Nutella drizzle. You ought to taste it. 

3. Blooming Buns Bakehouse

Scratch made Brioche doughnuts filled with scratch made fillings!

What makes a donut place stand out is the number of flavors you can have. Blooming Buns Bakehouse serves the Brionut (a hybrid of a doughnut with a brioche base) that comes in yema caramel honeycomb, berry bliss cheesecake, chocolate velvet mousse, creme brûlée, ube coconut cream, and plain sugar. These top flavors are stuffed with cream and decorated with strawberries which keep me returning for more.

4. Wicked Donuts

Gummy Donuts

Wicked Donuts offers the healthiest doughnut alternatives in the city, as all the donuts are made without preservatives. It is easy to pick vegan, gluten-free, and Keto-friendly versions for different friends when in a group.

This donut shop is the home of variety as I have tasted some of its gourmet donuts such as atomic cherry, curaçao creme brulee, Caramel sutra, and blue suede banana. There are numerous flavor profiles to go with each donut.

5. PinkBox Doughnuts

Pink Velvet Unicorn Donuts

When I need to eat donuts the next day, I prefer making a preorder at PinkBox Doughnuts. This guarantees I won’t have to wait in a long line to take a bite of my favorite snack. The donut shop is open 24 hours at all its locations in the city, such as on West Lake Mead Boulevard, Henderson, and third at 9435 W. Tropicana Ave.

There is a wide variety of donuts that I relish every time, such as  S’mores, Fat Elvis, chipotle caramel, red velvet, maple bacon bars, or strawberry shortcake.  Each donut is prepared craftily to ensure it is sweet to the taste.
