c. In our belly

d. All of the above

Here’s some of our favourite places to get our doughy, fried, doughnut fix in the Illawarra.

Dashin Donuts, Shellharbour

A donut cake? Hip hip hooray indeed!

Alexander’s Bakery South Side, Wollongong

Technically, cronuts aren’t donuts, but they’re close enough in our book! These guys have also opened another bakery in Corrimal.

OMG Decadent Donuts

They don’t look it but these doughnuts are gluten free, vegan, nut free, yeast free, dairy free, egg free, wheat free, sulphite free and no preservatives. They use 12 naturally flavoured sugars. How good is that? They pop up at lots of local markets so keep an eye on their socials for where to find their goodness.

Fantasy Donuts, Dapto Mall + Figtree Grove Shopping Centre

These guys do shiny, glittery, colourful and fun in spades!

Pasticceria Massimo Papa, Fairy Meadow

Chimichangas Bulli

Donut fries??? Yes, please!!! With toppings like sprinkles and marshmallows, caramel sauce or Nutella and strawberry, we’ll be literally like a seagull hoofin’ down a hot chip [donut kind] when we get our hands on these.

 

Gerringong Bakery

Injected with nutella or custard? Why choose? One of each, thanks.

Berry Donut Van

It’s famous for a reason! And we love love love the doughnuts served with ice cream. Probz the only way to make a doughnut better…..add ice cream.

San Churro, Wollongong

Round with a hole or long and thin….we don’t mind how deep fried doughy goodness comes at us. Delisiosa!

 

Donut Jam, Port Kembla + Shell Cove  

Super cute + spunky food truck serving up doughnuts and kickass shakes [you know…to wash it down with].

 

Brown Sugar Espresso Bar

These delectable morsels are available on Thursdays only and are usually sold out by 11am. Totally worth setting the alarm for.
