Press picks, until locals rank their own Top 5s. Sourced from the local food press. As seen in Dallas Observer and CultureMap Dallas. Updated July 2026.
Golden Crown Cookies & Mochi Donuts · North Richland Hills
This North Richland Hills shop makes mochi doughnuts, a chewier Japanese rice-cake variation on standard dough, in flavors like ube and pandan, alongside ultra-thick cookies. It was one of just two DFW spots to make a national list of 50 standout doughnut shops, and it holds a large local following.
Detour Doughnuts · Frisco
This Frisco shop trades in elaborate builds rather than plain glazed, with a fig and mascarpone doughnut, a bruleed banana cream, and Thai tea glaze varieties on rotation. It joined Golden Crown as one of two DFW representatives on that national list of 50 doughnut shops.
La Rue Doughnut · Trinity Groves, Dallas
La Rue hand-turns its crullers in the fryer and makes everything from scratch each morning out of Trinity Groves, and it grew a cult following out of a three-year bakery operation. Residents practically rejoiced when it announced it would keep going after its predecessor closed.
Jarams Donuts Lakewood · Lakewood, Dallas
A Lakewood morning favorite known for a funnel cake doughnut and a croissant roll alongside standard glazed and cake varieties. Seasonal flavors, including a Father's Day Guinness doughnut, keep regulars checking the case even after they think they have tried everything.
RINGS DONUTS AND COFFEE · Preston Center, Dallas
TCU grad and New York transplant Bill Hennessey opened Rings in Preston Center on a deliberately classic premise: raised and cake doughnuts and fritters with no bacon or candy toppings. Premium shortening and house-made icings and glazes push the quality up while keeping doughnuts at two dollars each.
