In addition, we'll also introduce several other unique donut shops, each with its own charm. If you're a donut fan, don't miss this!
Dough Bros: Overflowing fillings
Operating dozens of locations across HK, Dough Bros is known not only for its handmade thin-crust pizzas but also for its generously filled donuts. Each donut is made-to-order and freshly fried, with plenty of creamy fillings inside. Every bite is a luscious explosion of flavor.
The shop offers a variety of flavors, including custard, white chocolate sauce, and Nutella hazelnut chocolate spread. One standout option is the yuzu donut, which combines a tangy, fruity aroma with its golden, crispy exterior.
Mister Donut: The crowd magnet
When talking about popular donut shops in HK, Mister Donut from Japan is a must-mention. Its branches in HK are often accompanied by long queues, making it a true crowd favorite.
The signature "Pon de Ring" is the most popular choice, available in a variety of flavors such as original, strawberry, and chocolate. Made with ingredients directly imported from Japan, its crispy outer layer and soft, chewy interior create a delightful texture. Its unique ring-shaped, flower-like design also makes it a perfect Instagram-worthy treat.
Drop by Dough: Incredibly soft and light
Hailing from Bangkok, Drop by Dough is famous for its handmade donuts, which are incredibly soft and light, almost like biting into a cloud. The shop offers creative flavors you won't easily find elsewhere, such as salted egg custard, bacon and cheese, crème brûlée, and even corn soup.
Recently, Drop by Dough ventured outside of Thailand, opening its first overseas branch in Sheung Wan, HK. To make it even more special, they've introduced exclusive HK-only flavors: pistachio and mango.
The HK branch mirrors the deep blue, wood-accented design of its Bangkok counterpart, offering a chic, minimalist vibe perfect for Instagram photos. The shop also serves coffee and beverages, making it an ideal spot to enjoy a relaxed afternoon with friends.
Each donut is priced at around HK$40, making it a great place to indulge in sweet treats with loved ones.
"Murata Minoru Shouten" affordable frozen donuts
The donuts mentioned above are priced between HK$30–40 each, which might feel pricey for frequent indulgences. However, some netizens have discovered a budget-friendly option available in certain HK supermarkets: frozen donuts by "Murata Minoru Shouten".
These frozen donuts come in a variety of flavors, including strawberry, milk, caramel, double chocolate, and Setouchi lemon. The best part? They're priced at just half of what Mister Donut charges.
Simply thaw the frozen donuts for about 40 minutes, and they're ready to eat. For those interested, you can find these frozen donuts in select supermarket branches across HK.
