Greater Miami and Miami Beach is already a sweet place to visit, but its thriving donut scene make it even sweeter. Across the destination, donut shops are transforming humble dough into crave-worthy creations that range from perfectly glazed classics to creative, over-the-top treats inspired by local flavors.

Whether you’re fueling up for the day, treating yourself mid-afternoon or indulging in a late-night dessert, these standout spots serve some of the best donuts in Miami.

The Salty

What began as a pop-up in Wynwood has grown into the most famous donut shop in Miami, with multiple locations in South Florida and even outside of the state. The Salty is known for its fluffy brioche donuts, inventive flavor combinations and seasonal rotations inspired by Miami’s diverse food culture.

Favorites include guava-filled donuts, maple bacon brioche and chocolate hazelnut – all made from scratch daily. Early mornings, especially on weekdays, are the best times to visit since you’ll get the freshest selection and shortest lines. Weekend mornings are busiest, but the line moves quickly thanks to the efficient operation.

Voodoo Doughnut

New to Wynwood’s donut scene, the Portland, OR-founded, Voodoo Doughnut is a cult-favorite known for bold flavors, playful designs and unapologetically indulgent creations. From cereal-topped donuts and massive fritters to the iconic Voodoo Doll donut filled with raspberry jelly, this spot is all about fun and flavor.

This is the kind of spot you’ll want to check out late-night or early evening, when the vibe is buzzing and the full menu is available. If you want a more chill experience, swing by earlier in the day before the dinner crowds roll in.

Sweet Mini Donuts

Located in Liberty City, Sweet Mini Donuts is where you go when you’re craving those bite-sized, fun fair-inspired donuts. These mini donuts are made fresh and finished to order, with classic toppings like powdered sugar and cinnamon sugar, plus glazes such as strawberry, cookies and cream, lemon, chocolate, and caramel.

Order by the half-dozen or go all in with a Bucket-O-Minis (two-and-a-half dozen). The donuts here are made continuously, so no matter what time of the day you decide to visit, you know you’re getting the freshest of fresh.

Pink Love Donuts & More

A North Beach favorite, Pink Love Donuts & More boasts what just might be the largest donut variety in Miami. With 80 different flavors, this menu ranges from classics and fritters to gourmet creations, “ultimate” donuts and even a selection of vegan options.

For something different, check out their savory flavors, like pepperoni pizza or the ham and cheese donut sandwich, to name a few. They’re also known for customizable, letter-shaped donuts that are perfect for celebrations. Visiting in the morning will land you the widest variety of options, especially if you’re looking for specialty or vegan donuts before popular flavors sell out.

PLUR Tea & Mochi Donuts

For a unique spin on traditional donuts, PLUR Tea in Cutler Bay blends American-style donuts with Japanese mochi for a chewy, satisfying texture. Flavors include ube, cookies and cream, s’more, strawberry and a very Miami guava and cheese. The best time to pop in here is the afternoon to early evening window, when mochi donuts are fresh. Pair your them with one of their signature bubble teas for the full experience.
