Pinky Bakery 

An artisanal bakery whipping up delectable breads, muffins, bagels, and scones, Pinky Bakery is also home to some heavenly donuts. They offer five cream-filled donuts: coffee, custard, passion fruit, rose berry and black sesame. Though Pinky Bakery allows deliveries and pick-ups at their own licensed kitchen space in Kwun Tong, they often participate in collaborations or pop-ups too. Be sure to swing by their upcoming pop-up at K11 Art Mall from November 17-23!

A post shared by Artisanal Donuts in Hong Kong (@nutsdonutshop)

Located on the sloping streets of Soho, Nuts Donut Shop dishes up some of the best in artisanal donuts. Generously sized and wondrously soft, offerings include a citrus glazed iteration, a classic cinnamon sugar, and one glazed with bourbon infused icing— all free from artificial flavours, colours and preservatives. Their swanky brick and mortar store also features a lengthy wooden countertop, so drop by with a friend for a quick post-lunch snack and some cheeky goss.

Hole Foods

Founded by two donut lovers frustrated by the lack of options in Hong Kong, Hole Foods offers pillowy handmade donuts in a vast array of flavours. They’re always experimenting with fun combinations like mango sago or coconut cream and red bean (inspired by our city’s red bean ice drink), but have a divine selection of classics too. The regulars include chocolate cream, condensed milk cream, lemon cream, and vanilla custard donuts. Hole Foods has a physical kitchen space in Central; while you can’t stay for a bite, walk-in purchases are available.

Dough Beings 

The founders of Dough Beings launched the business in 2019, motivated by a mission to master the art of dough starting with the bombolini. And master it they did. One bite of their Italian donuts verify the 10,000 hours put into achieving an unmatched cloud-like dough texture. This feat is one that many Hong Kongers seem to have recognised, as Dough Beings has fast become one of the most successful “Instagram bakeries” in the city, with pre-orders selling out in mere minutes. They also boast an incredible lineup of unique flavour combinations that change on a monthly basis. In celebration of their 3rd anniversary, the November menu includes all-time favourites such as French strawberry cake, banoffee pie, everything cream cheese salmon (yes, a savoury donut!), and pandan pineapple ginger. Securing a box of Dough Beings requires fast fingers, so follow their Instagram page to stay ahead of the game.
