Madison, WIDonuts

Madison's kosher-certified doughnut bakery, a staple on Regent Street since 1996. It took gold in the 2025 Best of Madison readers' poll's Bakery-Sweets category, and it remains a currently licensed operation in the county's food establishment registry, a mainstay of the neighborhood's morning routine for nearly three decades.

Cake-style doughnuts baked rather than fried, made from scratch daily and best known for a signature sweet potato doughnut. The shop took silver in the 2025 Best of Madison readers' poll's Bakery-Sweets category, one of two doughnut makers to place in that category alongside Greenbush Bakery's gold.

Fresh doughnuts served out of a former Zippy Lube service station on the north side, built on a recipe with roots at the Dane County Farmers' Market. Isthmus has covered it as a neighborhood fixture, and it remains currently licensed and classified as "Primarily Restaurant" in the county's food establishment registry.

Gluten-free, paleo and keto doughnuts and baked goods, the go-to stop for anyone seeking a gluten-free doughnut in Madison. Isthmus's year-end dining roundup confirms the shop moved into a brick-and-mortar space on South Park Street, a former Barriques location, after operating out of its original spot.

Yeast-raised doughnuts made fresh every morning at a downtown brunch spot, popular enough that they tend to sell out fast. A temporary remodel closure was widely reported in 2025, but the business has since continued operating under normal hours, with ongoing licensing activity confirming it remains open today.
