Voodoo Doughnuts
One of the pioneers of the artisan donut is this Portland, Oregon staple. As kooky as they are delicious, Voodoo Donut’s signature sweets are all too tempting to resist. Need proof? Just take consider their expansion from Portland to Eugene, Oregon, to Denver and Austin.
Salty Donut
It didn’t take long for Miami tourists and locals alike to take note of the weekend-only donut popup shop. Some say it’s because of the permanent fixture flavors like Maple Bacon or Brown Butter and Salt. Others will tell you that the weekly rotation of specialty flavors is what keeps the masses coming back. All we know is that you better get there early, because these desirable donuts sell out fast.
The Dapper Doughnut
Our friends over at the Dapper Doughnut have locations throughout the US, including Cincinnati and Las Vegas, with upcoming locations set for Dallas, Houston, St. Louis, Detroit, and more. They specialize in mini donuts that are hot and made to order. Full disclosure: they are a customer of ours and we helped them get their iconic logo on their packaging. Does that make us biased? No, it just makes us loyal!

Union Square Donuts
A stroll through the Boston Public Market isn’t complete without stopping for a Union Square donut or two. The original shop is located in Union Square, of course, but they also set up shop in several popular farmers markets.
