Perfect First Bites
First-timers start here for the spots that made Atlanta's donut scene famous.
Inside Ponce City Market, they make the famous 100-layer donut. Yes, 100 layers. Takes four days to create and tastes like buttery French pastry. Their seasonal flavors mean something new each visit.
Five Daughters Bakery
Open 24 hours near Georgia Tech, perfect for midnight sugar emergencies or early morning cravings. Their A-Town Cream donut comes filled with custard, while the salt and vinegar might surprise you in the best way.
Sublime Doughnuts
With locations in Decatur and Inman Park, they actually use real ingredients. Their vegan raspberry donut hits that sweet-tart balance. The triple chocolate cake tastes rich without being overwhelming.
Revolution Doughnuts
Classic Comfort
Sometimes you just want a really good, no-frills donut without the fuss.
This Atlanta classic has four locations doing exactly what you'd hope for from a donut shop. Their apple fritters are crispy and huge. The glazed donuts crack perfectly (and don't even get us started on the Sugar Rays).
Ray's Donuts
Next to a gas station but don't let that fool you. Fresh donuts and Texas-style sausage kolaches. Simple food that hits the spot.
Marietta Donuts
So good the Dunkin' next door closed shop (true story). Their cake and yeast donuts keep things straightforward, with the sour cream old fashioned being the standout star. Go early and they might throw in free donut holes.

Hidden in the basement of Canvas Cafe, chef Anna Gatti creates "chef-driven" donuts. Their Sweet Jane features 24-hour brioche with vanilla cream. The Cereal Bowl comes topped with cereal milk frosting.
Doughnut Dollies
Worth the drive north. Their "Not Samoa" tastes like Girl Scout cookies with chocolate, caramel, and coconut. They serve Counter Culture Coffee alongside their creations.
Dutch Monkey Doughnuts
Special Diet Friendly
Because dietary restrictions shouldn't mean missing out on donut joy.
This Virginia-Highland bakery makes beautiful gluten-free donuts. Each one looks like tiny art. Their mystery box of six donuts feels like opening a surprise gift 💕

Vegan Dream Doughnuts
Something Different
Not your average donut experience…these spots think outside the box.
These mochi donuts have a chewy texture from rice flour. Flavors include ube, yuzu, and Nutella. They look like colorful baby teething rings and taste different from regular donuts
Mochinut Atlanta
Another mochi donut spot in the northern suburbs. Their matcha Oreo has cookie crumbles on top. The Biscoff-inspired donut comes with a whole cookie stuck to it 🍪
Mochibees
Ice cream and donuts in one place. They make small-batch ice cream and creative donuts. Order the donut ice cream sandwich for both treats together
Scream'n Nuts
Set in an old general store cafe, blending sweet and savory like pros. Their coffee bacon donut balances both worlds perfectly. For the truly adventurous, try their Doughnut Burger - ground-in-house 100% Certified Angus Beef with American cheese, let...
