Doughnut, donut or do-nut. Regardless of how you spell it, these round tasty treats make mornings better. Delaware is riddled with Dunkin’ Donuts stores and other quick places to snag one. Here are six shops make them their specialty, and six other bakeries that make them on site too–a perfect dozen!
The Fractured Prune started just over the Delaware-Maryland border in Ocean City, MD back in the 1970s. From there it spread locally then nationally. There are two Delaware shops where you can snag unique sweet treats. Either start with a hot donut and add your own selection of glaze and toppings, or pick from an entire specialty menu.

Duck Donuts only recently landed in Delaware even though it began in North Carolina. This, Delaware's only location, is smack dab in the middle of Main Street in Newark, making it a favorite for college kids at the University of Delaware. Create your own or pick from one of their famous donuts, like the maple bacon!
Please note, Gooey Donuts is no longer in business.
In 2015, a Delaware native decided to open up his own donut shop and Gooey Donuts was born. Featuring hot, dipped donuts, this is another place where you can create your own combo or pick from the classics.

Please note, Dorman's Donut Shoppe is no longer in business.
Dorman's is a locally owned donut shop off Route 24 outside of Lewes and Rehoboth. It has a distinctly local feel to it, and you can tell that those who stop in have probably been there before. They make and dip the donuts in sight of the small tables set up inside. If you're feeling adventurous, get a breakfast sandwich on a glazed bagel!
