As perhaps the most delicious holiday of the year, National Donut Day is a 'hole' lot of fun. Whether you like glaze, sprinkles, or peanuts, we’ve got you covered for some of the freshest local donut hot spots in town to enjoy this sweet holiday. While there are many great places to choose from around our coastal city, including staples like Dunkin' Donuts at the Virginia Beach Oceanfront, here are a few of our favorite donut shops and donuts to help you celebrate the occasion.
Aloha Snacks

While not a traditional donut joint, Aloha Snacks’ Malasadas make this spot a must-try on your donut day conquest. Malasadas are a Portuguese donut that consists of deep-fried dough dipped in granulated sugar, and Aloha Snacks offers a choice of chocolate, pineapple, or coconut haupia fillings. We like to stick with the Hawaiian vibes with the coconut haupia, a play on the traditional coconut-milk based Hawaiian dessert.
Duck Donuts
