Las Vegas is a haven for countless indulgences, from sin to sweets, and donuts are no exception. You’ll find countless donut shops in Vegas, but how do you know which ones are really worth your time?

There are two ways – at a minimum – to approach finding the perfect donut. Do you want a tried-and-true local favorite? It may not make it on your social media page, but it will surely taste good. Or do you like that Instagrammable, over-the-top luxury Vegas is known for?

No matter what you’re craving, we’ve crafted a list of local favorites and tourist delights to deliver whatever kind of donut you desire.

Local Favorite Donut Shops

Poppy’s

Poppy’s is a hidden gem and a favorite among locals and out-of-towners alike. The donuts are always fresh, delicious, and melt in your mouth. This family-owned shop has both classic and specialty donuts. It’s been under its current ownership since 2008, but the owners have been perfecting the art of donut-making for over 40 years.

Poppy’s also has a selection of other pastries, coffee, and smoothies.

PREMIER TIP: If you want a budget-friendly option or cannot decide which kind looks best, you can get a box of “day olds” for a great price. 

Ronald’s

Ronald’s is a classic donut and coffee shop with vegan options. If you’re looking for a low-key spot with a quiet atmosphere and community feel, Ronald’s should definitely be at the top of your list. Their donuts are reasonably priced, fresh, and classic.

Their website recommends the bear claw or Bavarian-filled as some of their most popular options. The seating area is open most days until 4 p.m., but the drive-thru is open 24 hours – perfect for a late-night craving.

Pinkbox

Ask any Vegas local for a list of their favorite donut spots, and Pinkbox is sure to be on it. While many donut shops specialize in the classics or fun and unique flavor combos, Pinkbox excels at both.

With eight locations across the Vegas Valley (plus a few in the surrounding areas), it’s easy to get a donut fix from Pinkbox no matter what part of Vegas you’re in.

All Pinkbox locations have a cute style, good taste, and lots of variety. Some shops are open 24 hours, and almost all locations have vegan options.

Randy’s

Randy’s slogan is “World famous since 1952.” With its giant donut on the roof starring in several Hollywood movies, including Iron Man 2, Randy’s might be the most recognizable donut shop there is.

Originating in California, Randy’s opened its first Vegas location in 2022. It now has three (soon to be four) locations in Las Vegas.

Randy’s has all the classics and a few specialty donuts. It may be tempting to think people overhype this shop due to its movie credits but don’t worry. The donuts are made fresh by hand, moderately priced, and full of flavor. If there’s a line out the door, it’s worth it.

With their fast and friendly service, you won’t be waiting too long to try these delicious sweets.

Delightful and Over-the-Top Donut Shops

Wicked Donuts

Wicked Donuts is proudly the home of the “puffernut” (influenced by French and American donut techniques). Imagined by local celebrity chef Robert Teddy and hand-crafted with high-quality ingredients, these specialty donuts deserve to be in your foodie photo op.

Cannoli cream, cranberry fritter, purple ube, matcha maple, crème brûlée, and guava cheesecake are just a few of the delicious flavor options. They also have KETO-friendly mini donuts and tons of coffee to choose from.

They’re open from 6 a.m. to 12 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 6 a.m. to 2 p.m. (or sold out) Friday through Sunday.

Donutique

Donutique donuts are gorgeous, elegant, and gourmet. Located inside the Venetian Las Vegas, every donut on the menu is highly unique and Instagrammable. The Truffle Honey and “Alexis” (chocolate mousse, strawberry compote, and mixed berries) are two of the most stunning designs, but you can decide which you fancy most.

You can find the boutique donut shop in the Waterfall Atrium near the LOVE sculpture. It is open from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. every day. It’s important to note that this shop does not accept cash, only credit cards or mobile payments.

Saint Honoré Doughnuts & Beignets

For the next luxury donut stop, we’ll venture to Summerlin, an upscale part of Las Vegas known for its high-end, off-Strip dining and shopping. Saint Honoré may be the first couture donut shop in the U.S. These donuts are high-quality, made from scratch daily, works of art.

Locally and female-owned, the shop offers brioche donuts, authentic French Quarter-style beignets, gluten-free options, and vegan options. In addition to its fabulous donuts, it also serves unique pizzas with repurposed dough by the slice or the pie.

District: Donuts. Sliders. Brew.

Foodable TV called District: Donuts. Sliders. Brew. “America’s Favorite Donut Shop.” If you’re looking for a delicious meal with your donuts, District has a variety of lunch and dinner options, but it is best known for its 100 rotating donut flavors. If you want to combine the two, they have griddled donut sandwiches for the adventurous donut lover.

Located on Level 3 of the Boulevard Tower at the Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas, this on-the-Strip eatery delivers photo-worthy, delectable homemade donuts. “Chocolate Blackout” and Bananas Foster are two of their most popular. They also have specialty coffees to pair with your pastries.

Top Donut Shops

Now that you have some insight into the Las Vegas donut scene, the only question is which shop you will try first. Duck Donuts (one of our favorite desserts Vegas offers), Gäbi Coffee & Bakery, and Yonutz are also worth a try for hardcore donut lovers.
