It’s National Donut Day, and within East Dallas’ donut hub, there are plenty of places to celebrate the holiday.
In Chicago in 1938, the first-ever National Donut Day was celebrated to honor the history of the Salvation Army’s Donut Lassies, since its inception, the annual celebration has been held on the first Friday in June.
Here are a few nearby shops in our neighborhood to enjoy a sweet, deep-fried breakfast treat.
8537 Ferguson Rd
An old-fashioned donut and some milk for less than $3, that’s Ferguson Donut Shop. With 12 donuts, they keep things simple with classics like a glazed donut or chocolate sprinkle. The store offers pick-up, delivery, and in-store purchases from 5 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
9007 Garland Rd
For those who like to play with their food palette, Hypnotic Donuts & Biscuits offers a twist on the breakfast delicacy. For example the Peace’stachio Donut, a vanilla cake donut with a brown butter glaze topped with crushed pistachios.
