These grocery stores sell fresh-baked donuts that shoppers say rival dedicated donut shops.
Most people who love donuts have their favorite spot to get them. While this is usually a donut-specific place, ranging from a mom-and-pop donut shop to chains like Dunkin’, sometimes picking up a box at the grocery store is more convenient and just as delicious. Some stores even bake them fresh in-house, while others get them delivered straight from a bakery oven first thing in the morning. Here are 5 grocery stores with the best fresh-baked donuts, according to shoppers.
Lidl
Lidl has a wide selection of delicious donuts, per shoppers. “If you live near a Lidl, ALL of their baked goods are incredible especially the apple fritters,” says one shopper. “The Biscoff style one is as good as any of the best donut shops. That’s the only filled one I tasted but I’m sure the rest are just as good. Save your money if you want a treat,” another adds.
Wegmans
The Wegmans bakery is always a great option for any baked goods, including scratch-baked gourmet donuts. Some even claim they are better than America’s favorite donut chain. “They are the best,” one Redditor says. “Wegman’s doughnuts are delicious! I love them and feel they are better than Dunkin and better than some bakeries in my area,” another adds.
Walmart
Walmart is a surprising spot for delicious donuts and has a wide variety of options. “Try the apple cinnamon mini donuts if you can find them. Idk how they make them stay soft but they’re seriously so good I ate almost an entire pack in one sitting,” one Redditor says. “The Boston cream, glazed, and chocolate frosted filled with Bavarian cream is so good,” another adds.
Hy-Vee
Hy-Vee is a Midwest grocery chain well regarded for its in-store bakery, and its fresh donuts are no exception. Shoppers consistently praise the quality and freshness of the glazed rings and other varieties, making it a go-to stop for donut lovers in the region.
Whether you’re a fan of classic glazed, filled varieties, or something more adventurous, these five grocery stores prove that a great donut doesn’t always require a trip to a dedicated shop — sometimes the best option is right in your regular supermarket.
