Round, greasy, and loaded with sugar, these treats feel like a comforting hug for the soul. For those days when you deserve something comforting, here’s where to find the best donuts in Guadalajara.
From artisanal varieties with gourmet fillings to classic glazed donuts, all of these spots are perfect for satisfying that craving.
Jolly Molly Donuts
One of the first places to offer us flavors and textures that had never been seen in the city. Jolly Molly has refined the art of making donuts, and in addition to its signature flavors—such as bacon with maple syrup or Nutella-filled—they have a surprise every season to celebrate in style.
Donas Donuts Ajijic
Another go-to spot when it comes to donuts. This shop used to draw city dwellers all the way to Ajijic just to try these delicacies. Fortunately, for the past few years, we’ve had a branch right here in the city. In addition to their delicious donuts, they serve up great breakfasts.
California Doughnuts
California-style donuts are known for their large size and soft texture, topped with traditional toppings. This is exactly what you’ll find at California Doughnuts, though there’s also room for other specialties, like the penguin donut.
Rösk
Another favorite among donut lovers—and for good reason. Their incredible creations showcase ingredients in unique ways, such as their lemon pie donut, with semi-sweet chocolate or carajillo-flavored glaze. As if that weren’t enough, they also serve delicious milkshakes and coffee.
Clementa Donuts
A simple premise, yet full of flavor: creating artisanal donuts with local, regional, and seasonal ingredients. That’s how we find specialties like double chocolate, churro with chocolate, and lemon pie. Plus other incredible flavors depending on the time of year.
Twenty Seven Donuts
Your next pet-friendly stop could be even more delicious. These donuts are made to order and come with incredible toppings, such as M&Ms, matcha, coconut, and tres leches. Of course, coffee and milkshakes are on hand to round out your experience.
Ice Cream and Donuts Parties
The donuts from the Centro and their distinctive scent of coconut oil simply had to be on our list. These treats have been served since 1947 and are a true tradition for several generations of Guadalajara locals. This spot also offers ice cream, popsicles, popcorn, and aguas frescas.
Monaladona
At Monaladona, you’ll find not only irresistible donuts but also a delicious variety of cookies, rolls, brownies, coffee, herbal teas, ice cream, popsicles, frappés, and plenty of plant-based treats .
Krispy Kreme
A classic that never disappoints: Krispy Kreme is synonymous with soft, fluffy, and perfectly glazed donuts. Its famous original donut, fresh out of the oven with that irresistible shine, remains a favorite among many Guadalajara residents.
Danish
This bakery bakes fresh daily, and while you’ll find a good variety of traditional breads, its donuts are legendary. They come with a variety of toppings, from chocolate chips to nuts.
