Hong Kong’s doughnut lovers are in for a treat as Japan’s iconic Mister Donut makes its long-awaited debut in the city this October. Setting up shop in the trendy K11 Art Mall, this cult-favourite brand has amassed a devoted following across Asia for its airy, melt-in-the-mouth Pon De Ring doughnuts and moreish pastries. Though the full line-up for the Hong Kong store remains under wraps, there’s little doubt that its famed soft crullers and signature yeast doughnuts will be among the offerings.

Bakehouse is known for its array of irresistible treats, from the famed sourdough egg tarts to a tempting selection of pastries, but don’t overlook their brioche doughnuts. These golden, pillowy delights are deep-fried to perfection and come filled with indulgent options like rich chocolate hazelnut, silky vanilla custard, tart raspberry jam, or a matcha cream with azuki red beans for a Japanese twist.

Dough Beings
Securing a box of Dough Beings’ sweet and savoury bombolinis is no small feat—but believe us, it’s well worth the effort. Preorders for their small seven-piece boxes open online at the start of each month, typically on the first or second Monday, while larger orders of 21 pieces or more can be arranged via WhatsApp. Be warned, though: these highly coveted treats sell out in the blink of an eye, so you’ll need to act fast. The flavours change monthly, keeping things fresh and exciting. Recent highlights include a decadent pistachio praliné, a tropical pandan pineapple ginger, the savoury allure of mentaiko butter, and a creamy sweet corn delight.
Hole Foods
Hole Foods may offer a tempting array of baked goods, from rich brownies to classic banana bread, but it’s the doughnuts that steal the show. Fans can indulge in their signature original glazed doughnuts or grab a bag of perfectly bite-sized doughnut holes. For those seeking something more decadent, the filled doughnuts are where the fun begins, with options like silky vanilla custard, rich chocolate cream, tangy raspberry jam, and indulgent condensed milk cream. If you're feeling adventurous, there’s even a build-your-own box, featuring unique flavours like coffee Oreo and matcha mochi—perfect for satisfying any doughnut craving.

The Baker & The Bottleman
There are many great things to sink your teeth into at The Baker & The Bottleman. Among them are the lemon curd doughnut and Earl Grey chocolate doughnut. These fluffy creations are generously filled—one with a tangy lemon curd that cuts through the sweetness, and the other with a rich, fragrant Earl Grey-infused chocolate filling. Soft, pillowy, and just the right amount of indulgence, they make for a perfect afternoon treat, especially when paired with a good cup of tea.

With a menu that sticks to just two things—pizza and doughnuts—Dough Bros clearly knows how to play to its strengths. Having expanded across Hong Kong and into Thailand, this popular chain has made its mark, and it’s no surprise that those ordering a pizza rarely resist adding doughnuts to their order. Made fresh to order, these sugar-coated delights are filled with classics like Nutella, custard, and strawberry jam, but you’ll occasionally find more inventive flavours on offer too.
