Best Donut Delivery Services

With roots in Los Angeles, this Chicago-based donut shop is an institution that has consistently made some of the “best donuts” lists and can now be delivered to you, even if you don’t live in Chicago.

Stan’s Donuts and Coffee began in Los Angeles, where the donut finally found its true frosting. While the city's donut scene is as wide, varied, and as vanguard as it gets, the company's founder knows how to do it right.

Eventually, Stan's Donuts and Coffee expanded the menu and franchised over 20 locations in Chicago. It’s only recently that the founder Stan Berman has hung up the apron, but you can still get some of that original recipe from the Stan’s in Chicago by ordering online.

Their options hit all the classics and include some of the harder-to-find pairings, such as red velvet or birthday cake flavors, giving their box of donuts one of the most colorful presentations out there. And don’t worry—Stan's offers options if you're looking for a gluten-free and vegan fix.

If you’re local to one of the 20+ locations in Chicago, they will deliver; otherwise, you'll need to order from Goldbelly. You can choose a variety pack of the best sellers, donut cookies, or stock up on your own dozen in a baker’s choice. You could even try 12 of the same donuts if you can’t put down one of their lemon-pistachio old-fashioned styles.

Just log in, fill up your cart and check out. At roughly $70 a dozen for some of the best donuts in the country delivered fresh to your door in three days, you’re only a few clicks away from donut heaven.

Duck Donuts allows you to pick an array of toppings and frostings for their donuts, making them the ultimate customizable donut.

At Duck Donuts, you can combine any number of toppings and frostings on your donut because everything is customizable.

Whether you're feeling particular, refined, or ready for a sugar rush, this is your spot. They even have a drizzling category for the finishing touches that’ll keep you coming back for more. Flavor creations include Cinnamon Sugar, Maple Bacon, Blueberry Icing, Powdered Sugar, and S'mores.

Order through their website and you will be directed to choose between pick up or delivery, which is offered through third-party apps, but you do need to live in the proximity of the donut shop itself. But, with more than 200 locations, you might very well be close to a Duck Donuts location. To create your dozen prices start around $24, plus an added delivery fee.

Krispy Kreme is an institution and has partnered with Door Dash to deliver its signature glazed and assorted flavored donuts.

Krispy Kreme is a national treasure, and no donut list would be complete without paying homage to it.

Thankfully, when ordering through the Krispy Kreme website or Door Dash they can bring you what you need at home. Granted, you have to be within 10 miles of the store for the order to work—but there is no delivery fee. We are talking about all the classics.

Choose from Original Glazed, Cake Batter, Cinnamon Apple Filled, Cinnamon Bun, and more. Order individual donuts or get boxes. Boxes can be mixed—customize or randomize them for fun.

Visit Krispy Kreme’s website, and press the red "Order Now" button. There you will be taken through prompts very similar to the Door Dash experience. Soon, donuts will arrive at your door—for around $11 for 12 donuts, plus a delivery fee.

Angel Food Bakery offers innovative donut creations including its signature 8-inch wide Jumbo D’oh!nuts, which weigh a whopping 1 pound each.

If you are like us, you never want a donut to end. Angel Food Bakery has made it possible for the single donut experience to carry through breakfast into lunch, and maybe even into dinner and dessert. We’re talking a full day munching on one donut.

This donut company has been featured all over for their fun approach to donuts. (They even call themselves the Sprinkle Wizards).

The bakery's standout product is a large donut for about $60 that's as big as a small tire. They also make donut cakes that look like actual donuts on top but are the consistency of donuts. Maybe it’s a donut, or maybe it’s a cake, but you will stop caring once you take a single bite.

Try a Chocolate Jumbo Donut Cake for around $110, or the Dough-Naparts, a twisted take on the croissant and donut hybrid (an eight-pack is $76). Just log in, fill up that cart, and enjoy your sweet treats.

PBH Foods offers keto donuts that come in three different flavors and are only 5 to 6 net carbs. 

If you're looking for donuts that are more health-conscious, PBH lands on this list with paleo and keto options galore. Their selection of donuts consists of cinnamon-, double chocolate-, and vanilla-flavored treats.

PBH is the brainchild of high school sweethearts Josy and Bryan of Miami, Florida. They were strolling through their grocery store aisles one day and could not find the sweets they wanted. So, they rolled up their sleeves and figured out how to make baked goods that they could call comfort food. They have grown into a small business of roughly 15 employees and have a national footprint.

12 donuts cost around $35. There's also the option to subscribe to their rewards program and become a Tribe member. For around $5 a month, you can get a discount from the store, become an exclusive taste tester for new and future products, get special deals for Tribe members, and be granted early access to exclusive Items. Or, you can just go to their website, search through their inventory, and get it delivered to your door.

Diane of Lady Sweet Cakes has been delivering home-cooked donuts via Etsy since 2014 and has a dedicated following with nearly 500 five star reviews 

The Etsy account we truly deserve is Lady Sweet Cakes. Its founder Diane has been serving up North Carolina doughnuts since 2014 on Etsy.

If you’re looking for that home-cooked feeling, Lady Sweet Cakes is just the right place for you. The company offers a Doughnut of the Month Club (roughly $92), a Cookie of the Month (around $92), and a Cake of the Month (about $110).

Her donut game is deep with beautifully-frosted Irish cremes and carrot cake donuts, and you can even pick up some Italian Neapolitan cookies. Lady Sweet Cakes is the historian of bakers and she isn’t afraid of special requests, so get creative and send some her way.

When you are ready to place an order, choose your items, add them to the cart, and check out. A three-month Doughnut of the Month subscription costs around $92. Delivery is guaranteed within 10 to 21 days, so you’ll want to order these in advance. It’s slow gastronomy at work, but you’ll be happy you gave Lady Sweet Cakes the extra time.

Mackenzie Limited is a mail-order gourmet food shop that offers frozen classic imported French beignets filled with fruit or hazelnuts. 

You cannot forget beignets when we are talking about donuts. These babies don’t have holes, but they are imminently dunkable. And the best beignets have an airiness that all French crullers crave.

From its world-renowned Scottish Salmon to its entreés like Beef Wellingtons, Mackenzie Limited sources gourmet food from all over the world—and they have a stacked virtual dessert aisle as well.

The company's beignets are reminiscent of a solid, jelly-filled donut, with a big bite of donut mixed with a sweet surprise in the middle, tossed in confectioners' sugar. The filling is either hazelnut or fruit, both imported from France, so you can impress your friends with your worldly food collection.

Your beignets will come frozen, and no one is stopping you from eating them that way, but they are best warmed up and enjoyed fresh out of the oven. The checkout process is simple: 24 beignets are around $37, plus shipping.

Primo’s has been serving Angelenos yeast and cake donuts since 1956 and has consistently been listed as some of the best donuts in Los Angeles.

Overview

For Los Angeles residents, you can get the delicious Primo’s Donuts ASAP via any third-party delivery service.

Founded in 1956, the company has redefined the buttermilk donut. Its crispy glazed outside gives way to a gooey, cake-like inside. Their original glazed donuts are so light, you'll practically float when you eat them. Their jelly-filled treats have the perfect balance of smooth jelly and donut in every bite. Let your taste buds do the talking.

As mentioned, any third-party delivery service will do, whether it's DoorDash, Grubhub, Uber Eats, or Postmates. Half a dozen, however, will not do: You’ll need to get at least a dozen. It’s about $29.50 per dozen before the fees and tips.

If you can, go to the company's storefront. Be there early for when they come out of the oven, and enjoy the throwback experience that is Primo’s Donuts.
