Donut worry, we’ve got you covered with the most delish donuts in Singapore.
Best donuts in Singapore

2. Kobashi
Founded by two friends during their years at the Culinary Institute of America, Kobashi is all about constantly evolving the foodie experience. The signature donuts are nothing short of magical. Get them in boxes of four, six, or 12. Sink your teeth into indulgent salted chocolate, fruity lychee and raspberry curd, and nutty cashew butter fillings. The bakes here get snapped up fast because they’re baked in limited quantities, so fastest fingers first.

3. Mister Donut
We’re sure this famed donut shop hailing from Japan needs no introduction in this list. Mr Donut is the veritable who’s who of donut shops around Singapore. It still attracts a queue of people to its storefront thanks to its popularity. A must-try is the signature pon de ring donut, a glazed mochi donut in a unique and eye-catching shape. We always go for the plain ones, but you can get them with strawberry or chocolate glazes.

4. Sourbombe Artisanal Bakery
The first in Singapore to spotlight the artisanal sourdough bomboloni – a combination of sourdough and bomboloni. This bakery’s creativity knows no bounds. It’s helmed by Genevieve Lee, runner-up of the first-ever MasterChef Singapore in 2018. Each treat is a light and fluffy flavour bomb with a variety of flavours. Milo, basque burnt cheesecake, chocolate hazelnut, the list goes on. Best of all, the brand has opened a physical store at Park Mall. It offers cold brew coffee, house-made kombucha and dairy-free tea lattes to complement its bomboloni bites.
