Eight Exceptional Places at Walt Disney World Where You Can Seek Out Specialty Doughnuts

November 5th is one of two National Doughnut Days in the United States; the other one takes place on the first Friday in the month of June. This means that the celebration of these delectable doughy dessert favorites are doubly delightful to indulge in.

From specialty bakeries to house-exclusive dessert offerings at some of your favorite restaurants, we’re singling out eight exceptional places around Walt Disney World where you can seek out specialty doughnuts.

8. Mini Donuts By Joffrey’s

This particular kiosk, on location at Disney’s Blizzard Beach Water Park, is renowned for its highly favored donut flavors of all kinds. While small in stature, these mini mouthwatering medleys all pack a robust taste so overpowering that they easily make up for their size. But this isn’t the only Joffrey’s Coffee & Tea Company kiosk known for serving up a slew of these miniature morsels. Disney World Parks, along with the Disney Springs location, proudly dish up doughnuts in variety packs of four, ranging in flavors taken from the following:

  • Caramel Coconut—A Doughnut equivalent to the famed Samoa Girl Scout Cookie, laden with coconut, chocolate, and caramel.

7. BoardWalk Bakery 

While Disney’s BoardWalk Bakery has plenty to boast about in the way of baked goodies varying in all types, there is one decadent doughnut offering on the menu that continues to be a hit with fans time and time again. It’s none other than that renowned Brioche Boston Cream Doughnut you may have already heard about. If not, well then it’s pretty self-explanatory—it is a large, brioche bread cream-filled doughnut with that classic chocolate coating, so characteristic of traditional Boston Cream Pies.

6. Brew Wing at EPCOT Experience

While not a permanent fixture over at EPCOT, Brew Wing is the current food booth being presented at the former Odyssey restaurant as part of this year’s International Food And Wine Festival. While guests can find a vast array of exciting eats available on the menu, it’s their EARidescent Croissant Donut offering that’s captured our attention. To honor the ongoing 50th Anniversary Celebrations taking place across Disney World, this shimmering presentation comes as a croissant-doughnut combo (commonly dubbed a “cronut”) iced over with beautiful blue frosting and glittering sprinkles.

5. Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater Restaurant

This table service restaurant over at Disney’s Hollywood Studios packs plenty of menu items that are straight out of science fiction fantasy. That’s why it’s easy to think their Warm Glazed Doughnut dessert feature is just too good to be true. More of an ice cream novelty than a traditional, standard doughnut, this decadent dish delivers up a warm-glazed doughnut paired with apples, cinnamon, and a crowning adornment of vanilla bean ice cream with caramel sauce.

4. STK Orlando

You may recognize STK Orlando as that chic signature steakhouse located right in the heart of Disney Springs. And while refined plated specialties of seafood classics, steak, and other land-based fare obviously hold places of honor on the restaurant’s menu, you may do a double take when you see one such offering in the dessert section. It’s listed simply as their Bag O’ Donuts. But these doughnuts aren’t simple, as they come to you rolled out in cinnamon sugar and accompanied by three varieties of dipping sauce—spiced chocolate, raspberry, and dulce de leche.

3.  Chef Art Smith’s Homecomin’

It may surprise you to learn that you’ll find a vast range of different doughnut ensembles being featured on the menu in the renowned haunt over at Disney Springs. While in their most basic form they are referred to as House-made Doughnuts, there’s nothing basic about their taste or the various ways in which they are served up. First things first, these are mini sugar doughnuts that pack a soulful, simplistic goodness. Enjoying them as is would be just fine, but some of the featured ways in which to gorge on them include ordering the Fried Chicken & Doughnuts platter for lunch or dinner, or as the brunch special in which they are served two ways—they can be spruced up with pecans, bacon, and caramel drizzle or dusted with sugar, spiced cane syrup, and accompanied by seasonal fruit.
