Best Donuts in Rochester

"Don’t get distracted by the jarring juxtaposition of delightful, innocent, old world donuts: Dutch Girl Donuts may just have the best donuts in Detroit. Get the glazed crullers and the chocolate crullers and the glazed blueberry and the unglazed blueberry and most definitely the sour cream. And then return for more."

"The one and only Dutch Girl location is on Woodward and Seven mile, just north of Highland Park. It was opened by John and Cecilia Timmer in 1947 and it's been in the same location for more than 70 years. It’s now run by the Timmers' son, Gene, and their grandson, Jon, who operate the business 24/7."

"Near 7 Mile and Woodward, the place slings donuts like no other. Yes, we went through the trouble of ranking their individual donuts, they’re so good. 19000 Woodward Avenue, Detroit, MI 48203"

"Elias Donuts has been around over 30 years and has that old-school donut shop charm -- complete with a long Formica counter and tiled floors with 1950s-style soda shop stools. Try one of their specialty flavors, like the glazed sweet potato cake donut. Bonus: they also serve paczki year-round!"

"This 30-plus year-old Detroit shop features giant glazed doughnuts and year-round paczki. They also serve a larger menu with sandwiches and shakes. Elias is open round the clock, seven days a week."

"Great staff best shakes and there subs are very good as well just hate that COVID makes them close early but 5 stars all around More reviews"

"Just as the name implies this Ferndale fried dough emporium offers a display case filled with fritters as well as other cake, old fashioned, raised, filled, and cruller options. We like the walnut-topped fritter and the nutty glazed doughnut, a yeast doughnut covered in peanuts."

"This family-owned-and-operated donut shop in Ferndale specializes in — you guessed it — apple fritters!. Enjoy flavors ranging from traditional to unique (maple-bacon apple fritter, anyone?) along with homemade donuts, cinnamon rolls, danishes, muffins and more."

"Although the name points you to fritters, they have a wide repertoire of tasty donuts and other baked goods. Just east of downtown Ferndale, there’s easy grab-and-go with their parking lot out front. Also, they just celebrated 30 years in business."

"The Daily Dozen began in Warren, Michigan in 1985 in a former gas station that had since been boarded up. Daily Dozen serves more than forty-five different doughnuts, plus a selection of specialty and seasonal flavors. There are two locations, one in Warren, another in Royal Oak, with a third location that recently opened in Sterling Heights."

"What was once a boarded-up gas station is now a bustling donut shop!. Family owned and operated, Daily Dozen Doughnuts offers limited runs of speciality flavors using the finest ingredients. Try creations like coconut custard, strawberry moon rock and Michigan cherry."

"This metro Detroit doughnut chain now sports locations in Warren and Royal Oak. Hit up either shop for a dose of scratch-made doughnut creativity. Keep things simple with flavors like maple crunch or indulge in a lemon meringue crueller"

"Fat Salmon Sushi, a sushi bar and Japanese spot, is another much-loved go-to, with 4.5 stars out of 64 Yelp reviews. Head over to 11411 Joseph Campau St. to see for yourself. This spot features sushi and sashimi, as well as appetizers, soups, salads, entrees and chef specialties."

"Located in the nearby suburb of Ferndale, Sakana Sushi Lounge blends together a mixture of traditional and innovative ingredients. Creating an inviting atmosphere, it’s a great place to watch a game or listen to music from in house DJs. Try this: The Cool Breeze Maki makes a statement with kiwi."

"Nektar stands out for its unfussy, come-as-you are aesthetics and highly drinkable carbonated honey wines. Find everything here from meads to beer to cider (and in between varieties like Cyser). Don’t overlook the Kill All the Golfers, a black tea and lemon flavored mead that will make you want to order a pitcher."

"Influenced by sub-pop culture and never satisfied with the status quo, B. Nektar aims to bring a modern twist on mead as well as diversify craft mead, cider, and beer."

"Ferndale Project started as the experimental extension of Eastern Market Brewing and has quickly grown into something else entirely. After Axle Brewing shut down their beautiful taproom located on Livernois, Eastern Market Brewing agreed to take it over and created a space with a reconceptualized menu, coffee bar, and well-crafted beers and ciders. Unfortunately, their doors had only been open for a little over a month when COVID-19 hit."
