New Edition of America’s Greatest Donuts and Donut Shops

The Underground Donut Tour organizes a second edition of the America’s Greatest Donuts and Donut Shops contest. The competition is asking fans across the country to nominate their favorite donuts and donut shops. 

In 2022, the first year for the contest, 300 different donut shops were nominated, and 8,000 votes cast. The fan favorite from 2022 with the most overall votes was the Cinnamon Caramel Donut from Rise n’ Roll Bakery, based in Indiana. Some of the other 2022 category winners included: Doughnut Project, Café Du Monde, Five Daughters Bakery, Duck Donuts, Peter Pan, Union Square, and Voodoo Donuts. Truly a cross section of America’s Greatest Donuts! It’s to be seen whether last year’s champions can defend their title or if a new set of winners will be announced.

Beginning on April 5th and ending on April 19th, the contest is accepting nominations from anyone who wants to submit their donut shop and their best donuts. Using those nominations, a list will be compiled of the best categories of donuts in the country (Best Cake, Best Croissant, Best Chocolate, etc.) and put up for a vote between April 26th and May 17th. Once voting is completed, the results will be tallied and America’s Greatest Donut Winners will be announced on May 24th. Each winning shop will receive an award and the ability to tout that they have some of America’s Greatest Donuts.
