Nuts Donut Shop opened a brick-and-mortar store on Elgin Street in Central to offer doughnuts that are free from artificial flavours, colours and preservatives. The store makes cake doughnuts as well as yeast doughnuts and custom creations. Try a classic glazed doughnut or opt for the indulgent strawberry white chocolate and sweet-savoury maple bacon doughnut. They also sell mini doughnut holes and twisted crullers.

Hole Foods offers both doughnuts and baked goods such as brownies and banana bread. The doughnuts, however, are what we have our eye on and fans can get a hold of a box of original glazed doughnuts, a bag of doughnut holes, a box of filled doughnuts including vanilla custard, chocolate cream, raspberry jam and condensed milk cream, or build your own box with special options such as coffee oreo or matcha mochi.

The brand has its own space in Central that you can pick up orders from and are also currently available at a pop-up on the first floor of Pacific Place.

The Mandarin Oriental’s luxury cake shop offers pastries aplenty but for those with a hankering for doughnuts, the cake shop takes the classic treat to a whole new level. They offer a strawberry doughnut sandwich alongside the Boston cream, plain, and strawberry jam doughnuts.

Offering only pizza and doughnuts, Dough Bros is undoubtedly doing something right. The local mini-chain has expanded to nine locations across Hong Kong and those who order pizza tend to order doughnuts too—for good reason. Made fresh to order, Dough Bros' doughnuts are coated with sugar and filled with a variety of flavours including the classics, Nutella, custard and strawberry jam, and the more creative flavours of cappuccino, lemon pie, caramel twist and apricot jam.

J.Co Donuts has three stores in Mong Kok, Central and Wan Chai which offer a colourful array of doughnuts. The Indonesian cafe chain's doughnuts have a mild and bread-like texture that come iced or filled with funky flavours such as the Avocado Dicaprio, an avocado cream-filled doughnut dipped in avocado chocolate and garnished with dark chocolate flakes, and the Berry Spears which is filled with cream cheese and topped with strawberry sauce and white chocolate on the menu.

Getting a box of Dough Beings' sweet and savoury bombolini is not easy—but trust us when we say it's worth it. The preorders for small orders of seven pieces open every Tuesday at 1pm while larger orders for 21 pieces and above can be made through WhatsApp. The preorders sell out fast so you'll have to move those fingers quickly to secure a box.

The flavours change every month but the latest menu includes a fraisier (or French strawberry cake), matcha duo and French onion gruyère. Dough Beings does not have a physical store but they do allow deliveries (courier fees may apply) and pick-up from Wong Chuk Hang MTR from Thursday to Saturday.

Both pastries and doughnuts are available at the Four Seasons hotel's eshop with decadent flavours such as hazelnut and chocolate, yuzu, dulce de leche with vanilla, and strawberry with rose to choose from. A pre-order of at least 24 hours is required and can then be redeemed at the Cake Shop in the lobby of the hotel.

Cookie Vission's doughnut counterpart, Donut Vission, offers everything from classic cinnamon sugar doughnut holes and cake doughnuts glazed with vanilla icing to the Asian-inspired pandan glazed doughnut rolled in toasted coconut shreds and an unconventional creation. The unique square doughnut is filled with hazelnut praline, praline mousseline and roasted hazelnut before it is topped with caramelised puff pastry and puff pastry crumbs on the side. 

There are many great things to sink your teeth into at The Baker & The Bottleman, but one of the most recent additions to the menu, a lemon curd doughnut and an Earl Grey chocolate doughnut, is worth making your way to Wan Chai for. The fluffy doughnut is sliced open and filled with a very good amount of silky smooth cream, making it the ideal accompaniment to tea time.
